Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1050: Exchange

Xu Chunshan heard the sobbing behind him, and felt a pang of sadness.The girl was clearly a hothouse flower.

Xu Chunshan suddenly dashed out. He saw Zheng Mingzhu squatting at the door, crying, paused for a moment, then ran off.

He ran straight into the building, bought two boxes of cigarettes, and then ran back.

He directly found a male officer who looked approachable and secretly handed him a box of cigarettes.

"Comrade, may I ask, if two educated youths get married, how can they live together?"

"You can discuss it with the two villages, you can live in one village."

"Comrade, does that mean as long as both villages agree, it’s possible?"

"Yes, you just need to submit an application here, and we’ll record it."

"Thank you, comrade."

Xu Chunshan got the information he wanted and immediately went out to find Zheng Mingzhu.

He saw that the girl was still squatting there, crying.

It had already been almost an hour, and people were passing by, watching her.

"Zheng Zhqing, Zheng Mingzhu."

Zheng Mingzhu heard Xu Chunshan’s voice, lifted her head to look at the man she thought was easy to talk to.

Hadn’t he already rejected her? Why had he returned?

"Zheng Zhqing, I can’t trade places with you, but I just found out if you can marry into Li Family Village, and the Li Family Village is willing to accept, then it’s possible."

Upon hearing Xu Chunshan’s words, Zheng Mingzhu began to cry even more fiercely. She has a childhood sweetheart boy she likes but doesn’t want to get married, so she came up with this plan.

Xu Chunshan lowered his head, seeing the resistance on the pathetic girl’s face, realizing she wasn’t willing.

Zheng Mingzhu tried to stand but suddenly fell to the ground; Xu Chunshan bent down to help her up.

"Thank you."

"Zheng Zhqing, think carefully. I don’t know your situation, but you must be clear-headed.

We still don’t know when we’ll be able to go back. If it really is ten or twenty years, or if we never get to go back, what will you do?"

Zheng Mingzhu’s eyes lost focus, and the fear in her heart was laid bare by Xu Chunshan’s words.

She kept mumbling, "Impossible, impossible. Brother Dapeng said we surely can return."

Xu Chunshan shook his head, turned around, and left. His sympathy had reached its limit. Of course, he wouldn’t deny having a fondness for this girl, otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked those questions.

But it has to be mutual. If the other party isn’t willing, he can only do so much.

Xu Chunshan now also regretted it in his heart. Even if Zheng Mingzhu really married him, and really lived in Li Family Village, she could never adapt to life here.

She must have been pampered growing up, but now that it’s come to this, there’s no use saying anything else.

Even if she really stayed with him, it would be a burden.

It’s natural for a man to support his woman, but there needs to be a resonance of souls, there must be love, right? So that the man would be willing to do so?

Zheng Mingzhu watched Xu Chunshan’s retreating figure, her tears still falling.

Now she urgently needed assurance from Brother Dapeng, so she endured the numbness in her legs and headed for the post office step by step.

Brother Dapeng didn’t like weak girls, so when she came here, she only wrote him a letter and never phoned him, but now she needed to hear his voice, hear him tell her they’d surely return, that he was waiting for her.

So she dialed the phone. A girl answered from the other side.

"Yingying?"

"Oh, it’s Miss Zheng. You called looking for Brother Dapeng, right?

I warn you, don’t contact Brother Dapeng anymore, we got married last month."

"Dong Yingying, you?"

"What about me? Stop pestering my husband."

Zheng Mingzhu stared at the receiver dumbfounded, suddenly realizing, dialed again but no one answered.

She frantically asked the operator to dial again, but after the third time with no answer, the operator refused.

This time Zheng Mingzhu shed no tears. Her eyes were empty, her mind filled with Dong Yingying’s words.

How could they be married? Brother Dapeng said he would wait for her to return.

Thinking of their childhood companionship, thinking about her friendship with Dong Yingying.

At this moment, she realized that there had been signs between the two of them all along. It was just that she trusted them too much.

She was just a complete fool, played by the two of them, and who knows how much they’re laughing at her inside?

Fortunately, fortunately, she listened to her grandfather and didn’t reveal any family secrets.

Zheng Mingzhu walked alone on the road, laughing madly, laughing at her ignorance, her stupidity.

Serves her right to be deceived, remembering the look of disappointment on her grandfather’s face when he was taken away, Zheng Mingzhu felt she had no courage left for living.

She had always thought she was smart, but now she realized how ignorant she was, and that she had brought this upon herself.

Xu Chunshan followed behind Zheng Mingzhu, worriedly watching her crazed state, wondering what had happened to this girl?

Watching her head straight for the outskirts of the city again, Xu Chunshan quickly ran over and grabbed Zheng Mingzhu’s arm. "Zheng Zhqing, what’s wrong?"

Zheng Mingzhu turned to look at Xu Chunshan’s worried expression, overlapping it with Wang Hongpeng’s expression from when she left.

Zheng Mingzhu shook off Xu Chunshan’s hand. "Why did you deceive me? Have you been mingling with Dong Yingying all along? Have you two always been laughing at me?

In your eyes, am I just a big fool?"

"Zheng Zhqing, Zheng Zhqing. What’s wrong?"

Zheng Mingzhu snapped back to reality, her eyes red as she looked at Xu Chunshan.

"I’m sorry, I lost my composure."

"Zheng Zhqing, you have to be strong, there’s nothing you can’t overcome."

"Xu Zhqing, do you think I’m a big fool?"

Xu Chunshan looked at Zheng Mingzhu with difficulty, really not knowing what to say.

"I can tell from your expression. You know, I’ve always thought I was really smart, but now I know how much of a failure I am.

I’ve always had many people around me. I always thought I was good, I was exceptional. So I couldn’t listen to others. Only Brother Dapeng treated me the best.

But in the end, it was the man I thought I loved the most and the best friend who hurt me.

Xu Zhqing, don’t you think it’s laughable? I think in their hearts, they were definitely mocking me back then, weren’t they?"

Xu Chunshan just watched as she vented, thinking she had been quite tragically deceived.
