When she reached the ox cart, she still couldn't figure out why this person was helping her carry her things…
"Sigh!"
She suddenly felt like her brain was malfunctioning.
"Alright, go up and find a good seat while waiting. The others should be here soon." After putting away the two bags in his hands, Zhao Mingyu glanced sideways at Gu An'an and gestured for her to sit at the back of the ox cart.
Gu An'an raised her head and looked at him. She realized that this person was very tall. If she was 163 cm tall, he should at least be 188 cm tall. Standing next to him, the height difference between them was quite apparent.
In comparison, she looked like a small stool in front of him!!
"I need to send a letter…" With that, she quickly ran towards the post office.
Feeling the intense gaze from his dark eyes, Gu An'an could feel her earlobes heating up. She knew she had to get out of this place.
As Zhao Mingyu watched the graceful figure walking towards the post office, he squinted his eyes, deep in thought…
Once she stepped into the post office, Gu An'an felt the heat in her ear lobes dissipate.
She let out a sigh and then reached into her pocket to take out the letter she had written earlier in the space. She walked up to the counter, purchased an envelope and a postage stamp from the staff, sealed up the letter and handed it over with the money.
It had been five days since she left the New Capital City. The Gu family must be in chaos by now.
After all, before she left, she had given Gu Jianguo, Liu Mei'e, and Gu Nana a special gift. How were they going to go out when all their hair was cut off?
This was especially so for Gu Jianguo and Liu Mei'e. There was no way the two of them were going to miss work just because they had lost their hair. If they did not turn up for work without a valid reason, they could lose their jobs.
So…
Everyone should have seen the couple's appearances by the next morning.
At the thought of the couple's predicament, a slight curl appeared at the corners of Gu An'an's rosy lips and soon, a shallow smile bloomed on her face.
When Gu An'an returned to the ox cart after sending the letter, the women from the village, together with Jiao Yu, had returned.
"An'an, quick, come and sit here."
Jiao Yu's gaze was fixed ahead. When she saw Gu An'an, she immediately smiled and waved at her. With her other hand, she patted the space beside her, signaling Gu An'an to come up quickly.
Upon hearing her shout, Gu An'an sped up and walked over. With a push of her hand, she jumped onto the ox cart and sat down beside Jiao Yu. "Thank you!"
Her voice was crisp and sweet, and a hint of laughter appeared in her dark colored eyes.
The smile on Jiao Yu's face immediately widened. "Don't stand on ceremony. We're not only roommates, but also friends. Isn't it only right for me to help you reserve a seat?"
Hearing this, Gu An'an smiled and said, "Yes, you're right!" This girl's personality was indeed compatible with her temperament.
"Oh, a friend? It sounded pretty good."
Gu An'an raised her eyebrows and the smile on her face deepened.
Zhao Mingyu was almost stunned by her bright smile.
In an instant, a certain emotion surged out from the bottom of his heart, strong and intense…
Zhao Mingyu drove the ox cart in the direction of Zhao Village. At first, he deliberately drove slowly because he was worried about the ride being too bumpy for those sitting at the back of the cart.
However, not long after…
When his sharp eyes caught sight of two figures walking towards the direction of town, he clapped his hands hard and quickly drove the ox cart past them.
"Stop the cart. Hey, stop the ox cart immediately…"
The furious shouts frightened the birds nearby. However, Zhao Mingyu, who was driving the cart, seemed to have suddenly gone deaf somehow, and he drove the cart straight ahead without stopping.
"…" Seeing this scene, everyone fell silent.
After a long pause—
"Pfft, hahaha…"
When Jiao Yu regained her senses, she immediately patted her thigh and laughed out loud.
"That was so funny! Wen Taohua and Huang Dahai must be so furious!"
She thought that the situation was so funny.
She didn't know that the village chief's son disliked Wen Taohua so much. As soon as he saw her, he sped up so quickly!
Within seconds, the cart drove past, stirring up a thick cloud of dust that enveloped the two of them, and left them far behind.
It had to be said that his actions were simply… too cool!
There was no need to be gracious towards someone as thick-skinned as Wen Taohua.
Otherwise, she would definitely cling on to him like sticky candy. When that time comes, he wouldn't be able to shake her off even if he wanted to.
Gu An'an raised her eyebrows at the little girl's laughter. She couldn't help but smile in response.
To be honest, she was in an especially good mood when she witnessed Wen Taohua's misfortune earlier on!
As far as she was concerned, as long as the enemy was upset, then Sister An'an would smile in relief!
So…
The scene just now made her feel especially happy!
Although the other youths were a little surprised by Zhao Mingyu's actions, no one sympathized with Wen Taohua. After all, everyone still remembered what happened the night before.
Last night, Wen Taohua fell asleep with her legs spread across the width of the bed. One moment, she rolled to one side, and the next moment, she was rolling to the other side. Throughout the night, the sound of her turning around in the bed disrupted everyone's sleep.
When she woke up this morning, Liu Xiaohui tried to wake Wen Taohua up a few times despite her displeasure at the girl, and also considering her duties as a team leader. Unexpectedly, the other party did not appreciate her kindness at all. She shouted at her and covered her head with the blanket before going back to sleep again.
"Out of kindness, I tried to wake you up to go to town. Instead of appreciating my kindness, you even threw a tantrum and shouted at me? Who would be willing to wake you up under such circumstances?"
In any case, whether Wen Taohua makes it to town or not is her own business. It has nothing to do with everyone else.
After tidying up, Liu Xiaohui and the others left without caring about how long Wen Taohua was going to continue sleeping in the dormitory. It didn't matter to them even if she slept until the evening.
Seeing that all the other youths had no objections to Zhao Mingyu's actions, the women in the village definitely wouldn't think otherwise.
After all, only his father, Zhao Zhiyuan, was able to keep the little tyrant of the Zhao village in check. Other than his father, no one else dared to interfere in his business. Even his two sisters-in-law had no say over him.
Not long after, the ox cart arrived at Zhao Village.
Zhao Mingyu let the women from the village get out of the carriage first. Then, he drove the ox cart to the youth dormitory.
As soon as the ox cart traveled out of sight, the crowd started discussing feverishly among themselves.
"Hey! When did this little tyrant of the Zhao family become so kind?"
"Anyone knows what had gotten into him today? He actually sent those educated youths to their doorstep."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. In my opinion, this boy isn't doing this out of kindness. Something must be up…"
