Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 315: Chapter 315 I’ll come up with another way, but I need time

Upon hearing this, Yunyi felt sympathy for the family. With the food she had provided, the three siblings should be able to hold on for a while.

By then, their Grandma should also be able to return.

Yunyi glanced at the courtyard once more, then headed towards the state-owned restaurant.

Spotting freshly steamed large meat buns, she immediately ordered ten, planning to store them in her space later. She also ordered a bowl of beef noodles. After paying with money and Grain Coupons, she found a table by the side to sit down.

She had just sat down when she casually glanced up and saw Zhong Liyuan under the large tree opposite. Zhong Liyuan was talking to a man. As their conversation progressed, it evidently broke down; the man opposite her was pointing at her forehead as if cursing her.

Driven by curiosity, Yunyi extended her spiritual power to probe, especially since she had heard news about Zhong Liyuan on the bus earlier that day. She hadn’t expected to encounter the woman herself so soon.

She heard him say, ”Zhong Liyuan, don’t forget your mission. If something goes wrong, you know the consequences.”

Zhong Liyuan’s expression was grim. ”You’ve seen it; he’s completely unyielding. What do you expect me to do?”

The man’s eyes were frighteningly cold. ”You made a solid promise at the beginning. Now you’re telling me this? What’s your intention? Do you want to back out?”

Zhong Liyuan stepped back. ”I don’t intend to go back on my word. I’ll find another way, but I need time.”

Although Yunyi didn’t know what they were conspiring about, it definitely wasn’t anything good. Was Zhong Liyuan really here for love, or was she using the pursuit of Zheng Xuewen as a pretext to engage in illegal activities for her own benefit?

Just as she was thinking this, she saw the two part ways.

After Zhong Liyuan left, Yunyi noticed someone following her from a moderate distance, obviously monitoring Zhong Liyuan. However, it was unclear whose side this person was on.

Soon, the waiter’s voice called out, ”Beef noodles ready! Come and get them!”

Yunyi withdrew her spiritual power and got up to fetch her noodles.

「In Beijing.」

Wu Bingjie had acted quickly. However, despite his best efforts, he wasn’t assigned to the Hua’an Agricultural Reclamation Group as he had hoped.

Instead, he was sent to Zhang Family Village, not far from Hua’an Farm Reclamation.

When he left, Qin Lijuan was nearly beside herself with anger. But in the end, her concern for her son won out, and she sent him off with plenty of supplies. ”Once you’ve come to your senses, write home. I’ll ask your maternal grandfather to find a way to get you back to the city.”

She believed her son wouldn’t be able to endure the hardships of the countryside and that one day he would regret his decision.

Yunyi left the state-owned restaurant and went to the recycling station. However, apart from spotting two nanmu table legs discarded in a corner, she found nothing else of value.

She bought the two golden nanmu table legs for fifty cents, thinking she could carve them into pendants when she had time.

Feeling that she had accomplished most of what she needed to do, she headed towards the meeting point for her ride.

When she arrived, the vehicle was already full. With no other option, she sat on the front hood.

The vehicle was just about to start when she heard someone shouting from behind, ”Wait, driver! Hold on a moment!”

The driver hit the brakes, stopping the vehicle. The ticket collector reopened the door. ”Come on, everyone, move a little! Squeeze in!”

The two people who had run after the bus were carrying bedrolls on their backs and large and small bags in their hands. ”Comrade, does this bus go to Hua’an Farm Reclamation?” one of them asked.

The ticket collector, noticing the inquirer’s refined attire, replied, ”Yes, this is the bus to Hua’an Farm Reclamation.”

Squeezing in would have been possible if it were just two people, but they boarded with all their large and small bags.

At this point, the driver spoke up, ”If you want to board, tie your luggage to the roof.”
