I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 284 - 275: The Hand of the Matchmaker, His Letter (Part 3)
Not bad!
Deeply relieved: At least she was prepared, looks like it’s not her problem anymore.
Yun Di seized the opportunity and bagged Li JianShe in a sack, ready to beat him with a stick, but was stopped by Jiang Mingyue. Then, with a hand chop to the back of the neck, Li JianShe collapsed to the ground.
"Kiddo, it’s not good to beat someone to death with a stick, and it’s not good to leave marks on the face either." This is best.
Sigh! She retracted her previous thoughts, there’s still room for improvement.
Yun Di murmured with lowered eyes, "I’m not a kid."
Jiang Mingyue didn’t hear.
"Drag him to the front," Jiang Mingyue pointed to the back of the tree they had just hidden behind.
After a while, a light footstep approached, rustling on the fallen leaves.
This time they had great tacit understanding, Yun Di bagged the person, and Jiang Mingyue used a hand chop to knock him out.
"What do we do now?" In Yun Di’s mind, those who harmed Jianjun should be beaten in a sack, he couldn’t think of anything "deeper."
Jiang Mingyue was different, her initial thought was to bring them together.
An unmarried man and woman, just right for a pair.
...
At ten o’clock at night, the patrol passed by an empty courtyard. This family had all passed away over the years, with no other relatives to come forward, so the house naturally became the village’s property. It was previously rented to educated youths, and a month ago, they moved out, saying it was scary to live alone and it’s better to stay at the educated youth center, so the house was left vacant.
Usually, when patrolling past here, their sight would always cross the half-man high fence to check the house’s overall condition, and today was no exception.
But usually the house was completely dark, today there was a faint yellow light streaming from the window.
"Xu, are my eyes playing tricks on me?"
"Get lost, obviously there’s a light on inside."
"Has this house been rented out?"
"Yun Di said no, that guy just asked us to pay more attention to these empty courtyards. Did you know, in the neighboring village an empty courtyard housed a fugitive? It’s terrifying." Actually, he only learned about it from Yun Di.
"This? Isn’t it too dangerous for the villagers?"
"Of course. Luckily, the neighboring village has two retired soldiers, one of whom is a scout. They noticed something was wrong, coordinated on multiple fronts, and caught the person. It’s said he was carrying dangerous items."
"Thankfully it wasn’t the villagers who found them."
"Wasn’t it?"
"So, could this courtyard also be..."
The group was alert, quietly approached, but as they got near to the window, the sounds coming from inside became clearer.
Repression... Excitement... Unbridled joy...
In any case, it was indescribable.
Two newlyweds, upon hearing this, blushed immediately.
And the bachelors, while confused, at least realized it didn’t sound like criminals.
Since it wasn’t criminals, then someone sneaking into an empty house at night for illicit acts piqued curiosity.
Liu, the leader, thought of something else, his face darkened, and he gave a directive.
The door was kicked open with a bang, and straw was spread on the floor of the main room, where a couple was...
Because it was such a big issue, the village committee crawled out from their beds to urgently convene, even the elderly chief granduncle was called in.
The commotion was so great that those not yet asleep came out to watch the fun, and seeing this, they were stunned, quickly returning to inform their families. Upon hearing the gossip, the family was too excited to sleep further, resulting in the whole family coming out to watch.
"What? Li JianShe and Wang Yazi? Not Jiang Jian Country and Wang Yazi? You didn’t see it wrong?"
"The patrol didn’t have their eyes blindfolded, it’s definitely true."
"Wait, so, Li JianShe and Wang Yazi were together all along, and they conspired to frame Jianjun?"
"Isn’t it obvious? Wang Yazi could then bear Li JianShe’s child, making Jiang Jianjun the fool, raising someone else’s wife and child, it’s a significant loss!"
"So despicable! To think my mother-in-law said there’s no smoke without fire, the rumor must be mostly true. Turns out there’s smoke even without fire."
"Of course, my son said this is called ’making waves on a still water.’
"Luckily, the patrol discovered it, otherwise Jiang Jianjun’s reputation would have been ruined. So yeah, we shouldn’t just believe every rumor, we need to have our own judgment."
"It’s still better to be educated!"
"Isn’t it? Thankfully Yueyue insisted on building the school, in the future our children and even grandchildren can go to learn, unlike us who can’t recognize a single character. We suffer from not being educated."
"Oh! If only us older illiterates could learn to read, we wouldn’t have to worry about not even being able to sign when collecting money."
"Exactly, now we can use fingerprints, but who knows in the future."
These words entered Jiang Mingyue’s ears completely, and she added some content to her previous campus plan, such as setting up literacy classes.
Wang Yazi and Li JianShe’s matter soon had a resolution, an either-or choice.
Either be sent to the commune tied up, because having an affair would receive punishment the villagers have heard of, which is not recommended by the village, as it affects the village’s reputation.
Or they could marry, covering all the disgrace.
Even if both were unwilling, this second path was the best choice, and they ultimately agreed to marry, wrapping up the issue.
Jiang Mingyue used an excuse of having a task to disappear again.
In fact, she entered a space to cultivate grains, and made a lot of pepper chicken and pepper rabbit, which tasted exceptionally good.
The mushroom forest cycles every seven days, she now stored quite a lot of matsutake and morel mushrooms, these things taste good and are very nutritious, she was reluctant to sell them, wanting to save them for Yan Jinzhi to eat.
After half a month, Jiang Mingyue received a letter he wrote.
"A Full Moon, Upon Receiving Your Letter:
The roads in the west are really hard to navigate, a lot of time was delayed on the way, it took a whole eight days to reach the destination. This distance, in a past life, could be reached in a few hours. Here, it’s full of sandstorms, the conditions are harsh, I once thought of having you come over to play, but now I’ve given up that thought, let’s wait until development has improved in the future.
I miss you, from when the car left Qingshan Village, I started missing you, this longing has become even harder to endure here, I miss you so much..."
