Chapter 7

to defile our fellow woman! I'll kill you!"Besides the angry young educated youth from the countryside, many villagers also came with him.They had prejudice against Rong Zhaonan, this kind of "bad el...Li Yan saw the girl with big eyes in front of him, and his stern expression softened.

He took a step forward: "Ning Zhiqing, we are all your like-minded people. Don't be afraid, we are here to protect you and punish the bad guys!"

Ning Yuan's expression was complex and dazed.

She has been married to Li Yan for decades and there are no exaggerated plot points like being murdered by her husband and a mistress, as seen in most novels.

Li Yan was born into a family with a good reputation and acted justly and impartially. He became the youngest squad secretary in the commune at a very young age.

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

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

By the time he reached thirty, he had become the youngest departmental-level cadre in the province from his original post.

But she had always been just an ordinary worker in a unit. Everyone said she got lucky and became the director's wife.

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

She worked too hard at the silk mill, working three shifts a day. She was pregnant and still had to do housework. She suffered day and night, miscarried three times. Finally, he wanted children, so he agreed to transfer her to an accounting position to prevent her from having more miscarriages.

He worked so hard that he was rarely home all year. He disliked that she couldn't give birth to a son and had a low level of education, and they didn't have much in common.

He has a bad temper and yells at people at home if anything goes wrong.

Later on......

He has a talented female journalist at his communications agency who is his confidante.

Ning Yuan knew Li Yan must have thought about divorcing her many times.

However, due to social influence, the female reporter waited for him for ten years, and he still didn't end up with her in the end.

It seemed like everyone in the family's yard knew what was going on, but she could only pretend to be oblivious.

She is poorly paid, and divorce in this generation is heavily stigmatized.

Everyone said he was just having an affair, that a man has a home in his heart and doesn't mind if she can't give birth to a son. She burned high incense for him.

Possible...

Every night, she stared blankly until dawn, tears soaking her pillow. But during the day, she still put on a facade of a dutiful wife and mother, managing the household.

As days went by, Ning Yuan developed severe depression and suffered from sleepless nights.

Depression won't attack others like a person with schizophrenia, but it attacks the patient themselves.

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

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

Ordinary and quiet, pain is like a dense prickling in the depths of my heart.

Every midnight, she would dream countless times about going back to the beginning. Would she still marry Li Yan

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

......

Ning Yuan stared blankly at the face before her.

Let Li Yan also somewhat worriedly reach out to pat her shoulder: "Ning Yuan"

Ning Yuan jolted, instinctively taking several steps back: "Don't!"

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 a smile. "Sorry, I was just a little shocked."

Li Yan looked at the pale face of the girl with big eyes in front of him, and a feeling of pity arose in his heart: "It's okay, the team will take care of you, and they won't let any bad guy get away with it!"

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Rong Zhaonan who was leaning against the wall.

Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan expressionlessly, taking in her strange reaction.

What's the relationship between Xiao Te Wu and this company secretary They seem to have a thing for each other, it's not normal.

"You little hoodlum, what are you looking at Get down on your knees and behave yourself!" Several Red Guards beside Li Yan saw him speak and immediately reprimanded Rong Zhaonan.

Ning Yuan also subconsciously looked at Rong Zhao Nan.

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, standing in front of Rong Zhaonan: "Don't do this, he didn't bully me, he didn't do anything wrong."

All the Red Sleeves were stunned, and Li Yan's face became serious again: "Ning Yuan, don't cover up bad elements out of fear!"

Ning Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Li Yan: "No, I'm not afraid, nor am I protecting bad people. Rong Daifu and I are talking about being together."

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

Although they haven't officially confirmed their relationship or started dating, it's clear they have a good connection.

He visited the Xiaocun Squad several times to inspect their work and assign tasks from the commune. Whenever he saw her, they had a lot to talk about.

Her eyes were shy yet joyful as she looked at him. They made plans to meet again and officially start dating.

This morning I heard that Ning Yuan had an incident last night, and he immediately brought people to come. He always believed she was innocent, and someone must have bullied her last night.

Why...

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

Several red armband members watched Li Yan's face turn ashen, suddenly feeling a little confused. What was going on

They also know that the young squad leader is a handsome man who is renowned 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, and he rushed over early in the morning.

But judging by the current situation, it seems like Li Yan is acting impulsively and recklessly, isn't he

Ning Yuan turned her eyes away from Li Yan, clenching her fists. "I don't know who spread these rumors, but Rong and I have already filed the paperwork with the village head. We're going to get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"

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

She had to change her way of life this time around, she wouldn't walk the old path again, she would never be depressed for the rest of her life.

I wasn't brave enough before, afraid to give it my all. Now that the past is gone, it's time to say goodbye!

Li Yan stared at her, unable to explain the indescribable pain in his heart.

It feels like something is about to be let go of.

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

Saying that, he turned and strode away.

The rest of the red sash looked at each other in surprise, then immediately followed.

In no time, the area around the stable was cleared.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but redden her eyes, leaning against the wall as if she were faint.

She... was truly about to bid farewell to her past life, her heart aching with a mixture of sorrow and uncertainty.

Rong Zhaonan patted his pants, stood up, and looked in the direction where Li Yan had left. “Is that young scribe your object He seems to have a grudge against me.”

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

Although Li Yan wasn't really a good husband, nor a good father.

He was a very upright person in his work throughout his life, rare and noble in his integrity.

Although he held power in his hands, he was never corrupted and never acted for his own benefit.

Don't even say he was bribed with money, let alone a basket of imported fruits. He would either refuse it or turn it in.

He was a model of integrity and incorruptibility throughout his life. His wife and daughters barely benefited from his position, proving he truly remained untainted by worldly affairs!

Look, people, they are just so complex.

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

"You know him well, why don't you ask him to help you out of your current predicament You don't have to marry me."efully took out some fried rice and earth tea from inside.She reluctantly said, “I don’t have meat bone soup. This beaten tea isn't good without meat bone soup.”Tang Jiejie smiled generously and said,...
