Chapter 7

okies and candy must have been sent by Ning Yuan's family, right"But where would she dare to speak upHuang Xuerhong was indignant and said, "Zhenzhen, let's go to the village committee and report her....When Li Yan saw the girl with big eyes in front of him, his stern expression softened.

He stepped forward: “Ning Zhiqing, we are all like-minded people. Don't be afraid, we have come to protect you and punish the bad elements!”

Ning Yuan's expression was complex and dazed.

She has been married to Li Yan for decades and hasn't experienced any exaggerated plotlines like being harmed by her husband and a mistress, as seen in most novels.

Li Yan came from a good family and was known for his honesty and impartiality. He rose to become the youngest head of a brigade in the commune at a very young age.

They were introduced to each other when she cut in line, and they later fell in love freely.

Later, Li Yan studied at the Lin Academy and became a young and promising civil servant in the state-owned enterprise.

By the time he reached thirty, he had become the youngest department-level official in the province from his initial position.

And she had always been just an ordinary worker in the unit. Everyone said she got lucky, becoming the director's wife.

As Zhang Ailing once said, life is like a brocade robe, crawling with lice.

She worked too hard at the silk mill, working shifts around the clock. Even when she was pregnant, she still had to do housework. She was exhausted day and night and miscarried three times. Finally, it was her husband who wanted a child that made him transfer her to an accounting position so she wouldn't keep miscarrying.

He was so busy with work that he barely went home for a year. He disliked that she couldn't give birth to a son and had a low level of education, and they had nothing in common.

He has a bad temper and yells at people at home if things don't go his way.

Later on....

He had a talented female journalist at his communications agency who was his beloved.

Ningyuan knew that Li Yan must have thought about divorcing her many times.

However, due to social influences, the female journalist waited for him for ten years, and in the end, they did not end up together.

Everyone in the family's courtyard seemed to know what was going on, but she could only pretend not to.

She has a low salary, and for this generation of people, divorce is something that will be gossiped about.

Everyone said he was just having a fling outside of marriage. A man has a home in his heart, he doesn't mind she can't give birth to a son, so she burned high incense.

It's possible... Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Every night, she stared at the ceiling until dawn, tears soaking her pillow. During the day, however, she still acted like a dutiful wife and mother, managing the household.

As days went by, Ning Yuan developed severe depression and couldn't sleep all night.

Depression will not attack others like a schizophrenic, but it attacks the patient themselves.

She retired early from her job, and her health began to deteriorate. She experienced various immune problems, backaches, leg pains, and overall discomfort.

This is a glimpse into the lives of countless virtuous wives and mothers of previous generations.

Ordinary and tranquil, yet pain is like a dense and endless pricking in my heart.

Every midnight, she would imagine countless times, returning to the beginning, would she still marry Li Yan

And you, would you marry your husband again in this life

......

Ning Yuan stared blankly at the face before her.

"Ning Yuan" Li Yan reached out and patted her shoulder with some concern.

Ning Yuan let out a gasp, instinctively taking several steps back. "Don't!" she exclaimed.

Li Yan's hand froze in mid-air. Several people around him wearing red armbands also looked at each other in surprise. What was wrong with this female educated youth

Ning Yuan took a deep breath, calming herself down and forcing out a smile. "Sorry, I was just shocked."

Li Yan looked at the young woman with wide, pale eyes in front of him and felt a pang of pity. "It's alright," he said, "the village will take care of you and make sure no harm comes to you!"

Saying that, he glared fiercely at Rong Zhaonan leaning against the wall.

Rong Zhaonan stared at Ning Yuan with an emotionless face, taking in her strange reaction.

What's the relationship between Xiao Tù and this squad secretary They seem to be flirting, it's not normal.

"Bad boy, what are you looking at Get down on your knees and behave!" Several Red Guards saw Li Yan speaking and immediately reprimanded Rong Zhaonan.

Ning Yuan also subconsciously looked at Rong Zhaonan.

He was very tall, wearing black-rimmed glasses, his head bowed, his bangs covering half his face. He looked pale and submissive as he crouched against the wall.

Ning Yuan subconsciously took a few steps forward, blocking Rong Zhaonan's path: "Don't do this, he didn't bully me, he didn't do anything wrong."

The Red Scarf members were stunned. Li Yan's face became serious again: "Ning Yuan, don't shelter bad elements out of fear!"

Ning Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Li Yan: "No, I'm not afraid, nor am I shielding bad elements. My conversation with Dr. Rong was about finding a partner."

Li Yan's face turned pale, and he looked at Ning Yuan with some disbelief.

Although they haven't officially confirmed their relationship or started dating, it's clear that they are very much into each other.

He visited the Xia Cun Squad several times to check on their work and assign tasks from the commune. Whenever he saw her, they had plenty to talk about.

Her eyes met his with a mix of shyness and joy. They made plans to meet again, marking the beginning of their courtship.

This morning I heard that Ningyuan had an accident last night, he immediately brought people over, he always believed she was innocent, someone must have bullied her last night.

Why...

Before she was about to break through the window paper and confirm the relationship, she changed!

Several red armbands watched Li Yan's face turn pale, suddenly a little confused, what was going on

They also knew that the young squad leader was a handsome young man known throughout the surrounding villages.

Many girls liked Li Yan, but he seemed to have taken a liking to a female educated youth. It is said that she was bullied by bad elements, so he came over early in the morning.

But looking at the current situation, it seems like Li Yan is acting impulsively and recklessly, doesn't he

Ning Yuan averted her eyes, no longer looking at Li Yan. She clenched her fists and said, "I don't know who spread rumors, but I and Dr. Rong have already obtained a certificate in the village. We will go to register it tomorrow!"

God gave her a second chance at life, and she doesn't want anything to do with Li Yan!

She needs to change her way of life this time around, she'll never... ever go back to the old ways again. She won't spend her whole life being depressed.

I wasn't brave enough before, afraid to take a chance. Now, those who have already passed on, it's time to say goodbye!

Li Yan stared blankly at her, an indescribable pain welling up in his heart.

It's like something is being let go of.

He gritted his back teeth and clenched his fists: "Since... it's good that Ning Zhiqing wasn't bullied, I have work to do, I'll go first!"

As he spoke, he turned and strode away.

The rest of the red-sleeved guards looked at each other in surprise, then quickly followed suit.

In a short while, the area around the cowshed became quiet.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but redden her eyes, leaning against the wall as if weak with exhaustion.

She... was truly about to say goodbye to her past life, her heart aching with a mixture of sadness and uncertainty.

Rong Zhaonan patted his pants, stood up, and looked in the direction Li Yan had left. "Is that young scribe your partner He seems to dislike me quite a bit."

Ning Yuan rubbed her temples wearily: "No, Li Yan is very honest in these aspects, he would definitely not take revenge on you because of me."

Li Yan, though, really isn't a good husband, nor a good father.

However, he was a very upright person in his work throughout his life, and rarely took any bribes.

Although he held power in his hands, it never corrupted him. He never acted for personal gain.

Don't even say that you bribed him with money, even if someone offered him a basket of imported fruits, he would either refuse or hand it over.

He lived an honest and upright life, his wife and daughters rarely benefited from his position. He was a truly incorruptible official!

Look, humans are just so complicated.

Rong Zhaonan watched Ning Yuan speaking of Li Yan in a familiar tone, he raised an eyebrow. —

You know him so well, why not ask him to help you out of your current predicament You don't have to marry me.oking at the broken glasses in her hand, she realized that it was actually a plain mirror.She suddenly understood, this pair of glasses was truly just a tool he used to conceal himself.Ning Yuan looke...
