Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 277: Planning to Poach Him?!

"Luo Shanzhu, what do you mean? If you think a thousand yuan is too much, Brother Ye can always sell the job to someone else. Just because no one in the production team can afford it doesn’t mean no one in the city can," Zhang Tiewa said, his voice laced with irritation.

"That’s right! Brother Ye has always hunted in the mountains with us, and the money earned is split evenly. How can you say Brother Ye doesn’t need this thousand yuan? He doesn’t owe you anything!" Zhang Tiewa and Xingzhi took turns criticizing Luo Shanzhu without waiting for Jiang Yexun to speak.

Luo Shanzhu felt a strong sense of injustice rise within him, but he could only put on a sheepish expression. "That’s not what I meant. I was just anxious and let something slip," Luo Shanzhu tried to explain.

"Anxious? Slip of the tongue? Doesn’t that just show what you really think?" Zhang Tiewa shot back.

Luo Shanzhu thought Zhang Tiewa might be a bit dense, deliberately creating trouble over his words. But what Zhang Tiewa and Xingzhi said wasn’t important. Brother Ye valued him enough to find reasons to offer him the job. With this belief, Luo Shanzhu looked at Jiang Yexun with hopeful eyes.

"I also need to support my family. Your sister-in-law definitely can’t live a hard life with me," Jiang Yexun said coldly, emphasizing every word.

Luo Shanzhu thought Jiang Yexun was quite naive. Knowing that Educated Youth Su couldn’t live a hard life with him, how could he be foolish enough to sell the job?

However, if he had a job but didn’t have the thousand yuan, would Educated Youth Su be willing to abandon Brother Ye and marry him? This thought made Luo Shanzhu even more reluctant to part with the money.

Just as he showed a look of difficulty, Jiang Yexun said immediately, "If you find it difficult, I’ll sell the job to someone else."

"No, that’s not what I mean! I’ll buy the job!" Luo Shanzhu hurriedly said.

He could earn money after starting work, but a job wasn’t something that could be obtained just by having money.

"Alright, once this matter is settled, you can come with me to handle the paperwork," Jiang Yexun said coldly and then withdrew his gaze.

Luo Shanzhu watched Jiang Yexun’s back, feeling something strange. It seemed like Brother Ye didn’t quite like him. But how could that be?

If Brother Ye really didn’t like him, he wouldn’t have offered him the job at all. It must be because Brother Ye had been away for too long and hadn’t been around them much recently, creating this illusion.

Brother Ye’s personality was never warm and he was always reserved. Luo Shanzhu comforted himself and began happily imagining how he would express his affection to Educated Youth Su once he started working in the city. Having a job would make him a city person with allocated grain. If he offered to marry her, even though she had been with Yexun, she would surely be moved.

He didn’t need to ask for the house Educated Youth Su currently lived in; she must pay to rebuild his home. Not only did he want a house made of blue bricks and tiles, but also big rooms for each of his younger siblings. He could skip the betrothal gifts, but once married, he would ensure she didn’t have to work in the fields. He was well aware that a pretty face couldn’t endure the wind and sun, and he wouldn’t let his wife become as plain as the other villagers.

The more Luo Shanzhu thought about it, the happier he became, nearly laughing out loud. Luckily, he still had a tiny bit of reason left and quickly covered his mouth.

However, the noise still attracted the attention of the three in front. They turned around, frowning, and stared at Luo Shanzhu. Luo Shanzhu quickly explained, "My throat itches."

The three then withdrew their gazes. They waited for a while before seeing Su Hongchen hurriedly return. Without saying a word, he slipped behind the corner of the wall.

Luo Shanzhu was about to ask, but Su Hongchen shook his head, so he swallowed his question.

Soon after, Pan Yongsheng came back with a delighted expression. Once he entered the educated youth dormitory and the door was heard closing, Su Hongchen spoke up, "He made an appointment for ten o’clock tomorrow morning, in the small woods between the two production teams, for five yuan."

"So expensive?!" Luo Shanzhu was somewhat surprised. Was this job gold-plated or silver-studded? Dong Jiaxuan didn’t seem worth that much.

"Today they probably won’t make any more appointments. I’ll go find a police officer in the city, and you guys continue to keep watch here," Su Hongchen instructed swiftly.

"Tiewa has a bicycle at home; just tell him you need it, and you can ride it," Jiang Yexun reminded.

Even though there was snow on the ground, someone experienced could still ride a bike.

Zhang Tiewa quickly provided directions to his home.

"Alright." Su Hongchen nodded at them before turning and leaving.

Jiang Yexun continued to keep watch.

When Su Xiaoxiao woke up after her nap, the sky outside was already dark. She dressed and opened the door, finding Aunt Guo in the yard sorting herbs. Hearing the door open, Aunt Guo immediately looked over.

"Xiaoxiao, you’re awake. It’s cold outside. You should stay inside. I’ll bring dinner to you," Aunt Guo said as she went into the kitchen.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to help but was afraid Aunt Guo would scold her, so she retracted her foot.

After a while, Aunt Guo came in with a tray carrying two dishes. She set it on the heated table and quickly went back to bring in the rest of the dishes and rice.

"Auntie, where are my brother and Yexun? Haven’t they come back yet?" Su Xiaoxiao asked while setting the table, curious.

"Your brother went to the city to find a police officer. Yexun is still keeping watch with Tiewa and the others. If there’s no movement in the educated youth dormitory, he should be back soon," Aunt Guo said, not providing too many details to Su Xiaoxiao. To Aunt Guo, her future daughter-in-law was innocent and clean, and such dirty matters should not concern her.

Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open. Aunt Guo thought it was Jiang Guoli returning from the hospital. But when she opened the door and stepped out, she saw Jiang Yexun brushing off the snow under the eaves.

"You’re back? Did they catch the people?" Aunt Guo quickly pulled him inside.

Jiang Yexun’s indifferent expression softened into a smile as he saw the young girl sitting on the heated bed looking at him. "No, they scheduled the meeting for tomorrow morning," Jiang Yexun said as he walked to the side of the bed.

His unique scent mixed with the cold winter snow created a special feeling. Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but inhale deeply, wanting to smell it more clearly.

Jiang Yexun immediately asked nervously, "What’s wrong? Are you catching a cold?"

"No, it’s just that the smell of snow on you is quite nice," Su Xiaoxiao said softly, with a hint of affectionate reliance.

Jiang Yexun’s ears turned red, and he unconsciously moved closer to Su Xiaoxiao.
