Chapter 238 Bai Da Biao Ge Is Being Pursued
Ye Shengge wasn't worried that Han Yuyan could cause too much trouble. After all, her father and brother were capable, not to mention Boss Zi was around.
She just found it unsettling. How could there be so many coincidences? The actions were so obvious that even a novice like her could suspect something. She wondered if Han Yuyan was truly foolish or just pretending.
"Isn't it uncomfortable just watching him act out in front of you?"
"Heh, the one who's uncomfortable is the other party."
Zi Yisheng took off the little girl's straw hat and tucked the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ears.
"My date today was interrupted, can I take you out tomorrow?"
"Mm, I feel much better when I'm on the mountain."
Ye Mu'en took Han Yuyan directly to the neighboring production team. Since Bai Rong Production Team was busy distributing meat, they couldn't find anyone to investigate. It was better to ask around in other teams first.
"Are you used to it here? Has Shengge also come?"
Ye Mu'en glanced at Han Yuyan, his eyes filled with too many emotions.
"I'm used to it. As long as there's food and drink, it's the same everywhere."
Han Yuyan saw that his friend wasn't mentioning Ye Shengge and silently gritted his teeth.
"Why didn't you think about finding a job? It would be easier."
"I'm not looking anymore. I'm tired of working. I just want to live a peaceful life in the countryside. After all, this peaceful life is what we exchanged for giving up everything. I'm not at ease if I don't stay and guard it."
As Ye Mu'en said this, he looked deeply at Han Yuyan.
Han Yuyan was stunned by his friend's gaze at first, then helplessly shook his head and playfully punched Ye Mu'en.
"What? Do you think my purpose for coming here isn't pure? Muzi, don't forget how many years we've known each other. Even if our families take different sides, it won't affect us."
Ye Mu'en nodded. He knew Han Yuyan wouldn't do anything to him, but now, he couldn't touch anyone in Bai Rong Village.
"I know, Old Han, you have to let go when it's time to let go."
Ye Mu'en patted Han Yuyan's shoulder and walked forward. Han Yuyan's eyes flickered, then he let out a sarcastic smile.
The two arrived at the neighboring production team. Han Yuyan's identification saved them a lot of trouble, but there were no missing persons reports, and their search was fruitless.
"It looks like this will be an unsolved case."
"Didn't you find a button? You can check it later."
Han Yuyan clenched his fist at the words, then quickly relaxed it.
"Muzi, come and help me at my unit. After all, you used to be in the Public Security Bureau."
"Heh, as if you haven't been there. I don't have that much free time."
Ye Mu'en wasn't going anywhere. He just wanted to stay with his family and get through this period safely. He had already strived for fame and achievement; he didn't care about it anymore.
"Let's go, let's go home and have a meal first. Today, we're having wild boar meat."
"Okay, I haven't had wild boar meat in a long time."
The two walked with their arms around each other's shoulders, as they used to, but their hearts were no longer as peaceful as before.
The Bai family's kitchen was the liveliest. To add another dish to their meal, a large group of people went out to catch crayfish. This dish was truly addictive, and the villagers disdained crayfish, so no one else was competing for them.
Ye Shengge's task was to watch the buckets on the shore. With many hands, they quickly filled a bucket.
"Shengge, what are you catching?"
Ye Shengge turned and saw Gong Suo'er walking towards her. She smiled and said softly.
"Catching crayfish. Are you free now?"
Gong Suo'er glanced into the bucket, her face full of disdain.
"Why are you catching those pincered insects? They can't be eaten."
Ye Shengge didn't want to say too much at first, but then she thought about how many crayfish there were in the rice fields and ditches of Bai Rong Production Team. So, she decided to be more generous.
"They can be eaten. Stir-fry them after deep-frying, and they're delicious."
Gong Suo'er's expression was quite varied upon hearing this.
"Deep-fry them? That would waste so much oil. But your family doesn't lack oil."
See, there it goes again. Ye Shengge found Gong Suo'er's words quite unpleasant at times, so she decided to stop talking.
Gong Suo'er felt a little uncomfortable when Ye Shengge didn't respond. She looked at the dozen men in the ditch but didn't want to leave.
"Are these all your brothers?"
Ye Shengge glanced at Gong Suo'er, whose eyes seemed to be fixed on the group of men, and became displeased again.
"Yes, we have plenty of brothers."
"What's that person's name?"
Ye Shengge looked in the direction Gong Suo'er pointed. Heh, she had good taste. That was her eldest cousin, Bai Chufan, the future legitimate heir of the Bai family.
"Gong Suo'er, it's not appropriate for a girl to ask a man's name."
Gong Suo'er withdrew her gaze and looked at the person beside her, who was dazzlingly bright, with hidden resentment. Weren't they already friends? What was wrong with asking a name!
"I'm only asking because we're close. I don't have any other intentions; I just think he looks good and wanted to ask. Fine, if you don't want to say."
Ye Shengge nodded with a smile.
"I'm doing this for your own good, you know. It concerns your reputation. If others hear about this, how will you find a husband in the future, right?"
Gong Suo'er had indeed been looking for a partner recently, but she was dissatisfied, very dissatisfied. Especially after seeing the men from the Ye and Bai families, she felt that the men she had met were not good enough for her.
Yes, not good enough. She was the daughter of the production team leader. Among the many girls in Bai Rong Production Team, who had better conditions than her? Moreover, she had graduated from primary school, had a family background, and was educated. Her looks were also quite good, not to mention her appearance.
With such conditions, why couldn't she choose someone better? Gong Suo'er had overheard her father saying that the newly arrived families were all from the city, and their conditions were much better than ordinary city dwellers. They would eventually return to the city.
"Shengge, how do you think I am?"
"How do you mean?"
Ye Shengge pretended to misunderstand, thinking, what else could she mean? Ordinary, very ordinary.
Gong Suo'er's face turned a little red. She inwardly blamed Ye Shengge for being stupid and not understanding her words.
"I mean, what do you think of my personal conditions?"
"Oh, they're quite good. It's the most beautiful age for a girl."
"Then, do you think I'm a good match for him?"
Gong Suo'er was definitely the boldest girl of this era, actually promoting herself.
Ye Shengge looked at her eldest cousin. Never mind what kind of person Gong Suo'er was, the Bai family would never allow their future heir to marry someone from the countryside without status.
It wasn't that the Bai family looked down on the poor and favored the rich. Whoever was richer than the Bai family? It was just that the wife of the Bai family's heir must have a certain family background and education. Otherwise, they wouldn't be a good match and wouldn't have common topics.
"They are already engaged, so I'm very sorry."
This excuse had been used more than once or twice. Ye Shengge didn't believe Gong Suo'er hadn't heard it. Didn't no one in the village act as a matchmaker? She was feigning ignorance.
Gong Suo'er had indeed heard this, but she felt it was an excuse. Even if they were engaged, there could be a broken engagement. Why wouldn't she try to win someone better?
