Chapter 144 Climbing the Wall at Midnight

"Whether I go home or not has nothing to do with you, right?" Wang Ran asked suspiciously.

Song Qiuyuan was speechless for a moment: "..." If you don't come home, how can I see you?

Wang Ran ignored him and walked straight past him towards the bean field in front, trying to find the person he was looking for.

"Brother Yunkun!" Wang Ran lowered his head and called the people in the field in a low voice.

It was the first time that Tang Mei saw Wang Ran speaking to someone so cautiously. She almost suspected that Wang Ran was entangled by some unclean thing.

Uncle Lin turned his head and glanced at her, then continued to fiddle with the bean sprouts.

Tang Mei found a big tree nearby, sat down, supported her cheek, and looked at the three people opposite her with a face full of gossip: How come this is just like the bloody love triangle in TV dramas?

Wang Ran was ignored by the indifferent and expressionless Lin Yunkun, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He couldn't help feeling wronged and sad, and his eyes gradually became wet, as if he would cry at any time. Tang Mei saw this scene and felt distressed. She quickly walked to Wang Ran and sighed softly.

My sister, why do you seem to have a crush on Uncle Lin Xiao? People who have a crush on someone suffer the most.

Just when Tang Mei wanted to speak for Wang Ran, she saw Song Qiuyuan striding over and standing directly in front of Lin Yunkun.

"Why are you so arrogant and rude? Ranran greeted you with good intentions, but you ignored her!" Song Qiuyuan's tone was full of indignation and dissatisfaction.

However, facing Song Qiuyuan's questioning, Lin Yunkun just glanced at him lightly, still without saying a word, and continued to concentrate on pulling the beans in his hand. Seeing that the other party did not react at all, Song Qiuyuan suddenly felt like a jumping clown who was asking for trouble.

"You..." Song Qiuyuan gnashed his teeth in anger, and wanted to yell a few more words, but his hands waved in the air unconsciously.

Wang Ran saw that Song Qiuyuan was about to hit someone, so he hurried forward to stop him, fearing that he would make things worse.

"Song Qiuyuan, you don't need to take care of my business." After saying that, he turned to Tang Mei and continued. "Meimei, let's go home."

----

After dinner, Tang Mei expressed to her father that she wanted to accompany Sister Ran tonight. After getting Tang Yongli's consent, they returned to the Youth League Institute together.

"Sister Ran, when it gets darker, I will accompany you to that dilapidated house." Tang Mei said softly.

Wang Ran showed a trace of doubt: "Why should we go there?"

Tang Mei looked at her helplessly, then patiently explained: "You went to see that uncle during the day, but he ignored you. So tonight we can quietly go to where they live, so that you can have a chance to talk! I really can't stand you always trying to please others, so I must make this matter clear."

Wang Ran's cheeks flushed instantly. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly.

As night fell, the two cautiously headed towards the dilapidated house. When they arrived at their destination, they found that the door of the dilapidated house had been closed. However, the brave Tang Mei would not give up because of this little thing. She was not afraid and held Wang Ran's hand tightly, looking for the entrance around the wall. The hard work paid off, and finally they found a half-person-high wall. Tang Mei climbed up the wall nimbly, and then pulled Wang Ran up with force, and the two successfully jumped into the yard.

Wang Ran's heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. The thrill of climbing over the wall made her both excited and nervous.

"Is it really okay for us to climb over the wall like this?" Wang Ran asked, blinking his bright eyes in the dark.

Tang Mei's tone revealed a hint of determination: "It's okay, come in first! Let's go and see where they live."

The dilapidated house was quite large, and the two carefully walked through it, checking each room to see if there was any room without a kerosene lamp. This process took a lot of time, but in the end, the effort paid off. In front of a relatively less dilapidated room, they vaguely heard Zhou Shanshan's voice.

"I don't know what Xiaoxiao's situation is now, I just hope he doesn't come to find us. If he is discovered by those people who are hiding mysteries and eyeing us covetously, we might even be reported." Zhou Shanshan said worriedly.

After a long time, a man's voice finally came to comfort us: "My father-in-law will not let him come to find us, don't worry, ma'am."

After Tang Mei and Wang Ran stood quietly outside the house and listened for a while, Wang Ran began to hesitate at the door, struggling internally whether to knock on the door and enter the house.

A crisp "crack" sounded, which was particularly piercing in the dark night. It turned out that Wang Ran accidentally stepped on a branch on the ground while walking back and forth, and did not notice the sound of breaking it. This sudden change made Tang Mei, who was already nervous, exclaimed in her heart: This is good, I have to go in even if I don't want to!

The people in the house reacted quickly. When they heard the noise outside, they jumped out of bed. Not long after, lights were lit in several rooms. The first person to rush out to check the situation was Lin Xiao's father, Lin Yunshen. He carried a dim kerosene lamp and walked quickly to the center of the yard.

"Ran girl, how could it be you?" Lin Yunshen's face was full of astonishment. He really didn't expect that these two little girls would dare to come here so boldly at such a late hour.

Wang Ran felt very embarrassed at this time, as if she had done something shameful and was caught on the spot. She blushed and stammered as she greeted Lin Yunshen: "Uncle Lin...

"Yun Shen, who's outside?" Zhou Shanshan's voice came from the room, and then she appeared at the door. When she saw Wang Ran, she couldn't help but complain, "Ran girl, you are so stubborn! I told you not to come again, but you didn't listen."

"Aunt, uncle, I just want to confirm, how are you? Are you okay? Do you need my help?" Wang Ran said sincerely.

Zhou Shanshan shook her head helplessly, "We are all fine. Although we didn't bring anything this time, we didn't suffer any hardship. We just received some unpleasant words. Some of the people who suffered with us are gone." At this point, Zhou Shanshan suddenly thought of her father-in-law, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Tang Mei saw that the atmosphere between the three people was becoming more and more solemn, and other people in the yard also gathered around.

"Girl Zhou, what's wrong? Are these two here to cause trouble?" The old man surrounded by darkness, with the help of the lamp Zhou Shanshan was holding, saw that she was crying and thought someone was here to retaliate.

Zhou Shanshan shook her head. "No, Uncle Gu, this is my niece's good friend. He came to see us during the day and now he's here again quietly." After saying that, she looked at Wang Ran helplessly.

"Aunt, if you need anything, please tell me and I'll go to town to buy it for you. I'm a teacher in the village now." Wang Ran asked

"Our Ran girl is really amazing. She has become a teacher in the village!" Zhou Shanshan praised her generously. "But you'd better keep a certain distance from us. What should you do if you are implicated?"

Wang Ran's beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed. She had never expected that it would actually turn out as Meimei had expected.

"I'm not afraid of being implicated."

After hearing Wang Ran's answer, Zhou Shanshan walked up to her, hugged her, and gently stroked her hair, with a look of disapproval on her face: "But I'm worried. I'm really afraid that my good friends and relatives will be hurt again, so can you just be obedient?"

Seeing this, Wang Ran could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, then I won't come to see you during the day, but we can come again at night."

Zhou Shanshan wanted to continue to refuse, but she caught a key message from the words - "we". So she immediately asked: "Who do you mean by 'we'?"

At this time, Tang Mei, who had been standing in the dark corner, finally couldn't help thinking, it turned out that she had no sense of existence.

Wang Ran broke free from Zhou Shanshan's arms, pulled Tang Mei out from the dark, and introduced her to Zhou Shanshan and her uncle: "Aunt, uncle, let me introduce you. This is the apprentice Yan Yanyan and I accepted together - Tang Mei."

"Hello, Auntie and Uncle," Tang Mei smiled and greeted the two of them as Wang Ran called them.

Zhou Shanshan and Lin Yunshen nodded politely in response.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Tang." Zhou Shanshan displayed the friendliness of a former deputy editor-in-chief of New Era Women's Newspaper and took the initiative to greet Tang Mei.

"Aunt, you can just call me Xiao Tang or Mei Mei. I'm the daughter of our village's deputy head, Tang Yongli!" Tang Mei introduced herself enthusiastically, and then said, "I've specifically asked my dad to take good care of you."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone present couldn't help showing surprise, and they all cast their eyes on Tang Mei. Especially Zhou Shanshan, she really couldn't understand why the daughter of a village chief would be willing to give them special care. Wasn't she afraid of being implicated?

"Thank you, Meimei. But there's really no need to go to all this trouble. We don't want to cause you any trouble. Everything should be as it is." Zhou Shanshan, adhering to the principle of not accepting gifts without merit, politely declined. She knew very well that she couldn't easily accept other people's kindness, and she didn't want to bring any trouble or risk to the other party because of herself.

"Don't worry, auntie. Lin Xiao and I are good friends. He has helped me a lot and even saved my parents. If it weren't for his help, I might have become an orphan. So just accept our help. I won't stand by and watch!"

When Zhou Shanshan heard what Tang Mei said, she started to wonder: This little girl has a good relationship with her son, why hasn’t she ever heard her son mention her?

"Then thank you, auntie!" After going through so much hardship along the way, it would certainly be better to have a better environment.

"We also thank you and your father. I thought today's work was easy, just like in the village. It turns out that the village chief is taking care of us." Gu Dengwen said cheerfully, "My last name is Gu, Gu Dengwen, you can just call me Grandpa Gu."

The other members of the Gu family also started introducing themselves.

"I am Grandma Gu." A kind old lady said with a smile.

"I'm Gu Rongyi, this is my wife Han Luo, this is my brother Gu Rongxian, and that's my sister-in-law Li Hong." The eldest son of the Gu family introduced everyone in the family.
