Yao Nian hurriedly replied, “My name is Yao Nian. In the future, we’ll be in the same village. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll need you to guide me.”

Yu Yan said in a joking tone, “No problem. You’re so gentle. You must have been bullied by Yu Bing a lot, right? She’s very powerful here!”

Yao Nian was confused. He had heard others describe Yu Bing as a taciturn pushover, but he had never heard anyone say that she bullied others.

Seeing this, Yu Yan felt that Yu Bing must have hidden her sharp-tongued and unforgiving side because she liked Yao Nian. Hence, she told Yao Nian an exaggerated version of what happened yesterday.

After saying that, she looked at Yao Nian and said with a pained expression, “In my opinion, the Sun family was indeed in the wrong, but we’re all from the same village. Why must she ruin their future like that? She was so ruthless. She could have asked the Sun family to apologize in private, but she even caused the police to come over. Sigh, I’m worried that the leaders of the commune will have a bad impression of our village.”

!!

Yao Nian didn’t expect Yu Bing to have changed so much. He suddenly hesitated about his decision to rashly transfer over here. He should have come here in advance to check the situation.

Because he had something on his mind, he was a little distracted when he spoke to Yu Yan.

When Yu Yan saw Yao Nian’s reaction, she felt that she had successfully exposed Yu Bing’s true colors and that Yao Nian found out about Yu Bing’s vicious thoughts, so she was very happy.

After the procedures were completed, Yao Nian was officially registered in the He Mountain Brigade.

There were still spots in the boys’ dormitory, so Yu Yan brought Yao Nian to the dormitory enthusiastically.

After chatting along the way, Yao Nian found out that Yu Bing and Jiang Chun lived alone at the foot of the back mountain, so he planned to go over at noon and freeload lunch.

After work at noon, the ice tractor, which was filled with people, drove from the village entrance to the end of the village. Xiao Sheng sat at the end.

Jiang Chun saw someone standing at the door from afar. When she saw who he was, she turned to Yu Bing. “Little Bing, Yao Nian is here!”

Xiao Sheng’s ears were very sharp, and the rumbling of the tractor didn’t cover his hearing. However, he didn’t say anything. After all, his personal relationship with Yu Bing wasn’t that deep, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to ask.

When the car arrived at Yu Bing’s house, Xiao Sheng got out of the car and walked towards his house.

Jiang Chun pretended not to see Yao Nian and ignored him as she pushed open the door to let Yu Bing drive the car into the courtyard.

Yu Bing ignored Yao Nian and drove in.

Seeing this, Yao Nian thought that Yu Bing was unhappy with the Yao family for ignoring the arranged marriage all these years. Yao Nian had been spoiled by his family, so how could he take this? He wanted to leave immediately.

However, when he thought about how he had spent a lot of effort to transfer over, and how he had yet to achieve his goal, how could he give up so easily?

He would suppress his anger and coax Yu Bing first. When he got the job, he would teach her a lesson.

After Yao Nian made up his mind, he hurriedly reached out to block the closing door. “Didn’t you see me? I’m here to look for Little Bing.”

With that, he swaggered into the courtyard. When he saw Yu Bing in the kitchen, Yao Nian walked to the door and coughed lightly. “Little Bing, I specifically applied to be transferred to the He Mountain Brigade for you. You’re not in good health, so as your fiancé, I should take care of you more.”

When Jiang Chun heard this from behind Yao Nian, she rolled her eyes.

Yu Bing paused. On the day she got the driver position, she had expected that Yao Wannian would curry favor with her, but she didn’t expect him to transfer over without notice.

However, Yu Bing didn’t mind. After all, it was more convenient to deal with a scumbag and a bitch in one fell swoop.

Considering that although the two families’ betrothal was only verbal, it hadn’t been nullified either, so Yu Bing planned to beat him at his own game. As she started the fire, she replied without looking up, “I can handle my daily necessities myself. How are you going to take care of me?”

Yu Bing’s voice was soft, so Yao Nian couldn’t hear the disdain in it. He froze for a moment before replying, “I’ll do whatever you ask me to do. I’ll fetch water, chop wood, anything! However, I’ve never done these sorts of things before. I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to do them well.”

Yao Nian was smarmy. He expressed his loyalty to Yu Bing and reminded her that he had never done this before.

He wanted Yu Bing to feel that she owed him for his kindness, but he didn’t want to do anything.

Yu Bing rolled her eyes and sneered inwardly. She pretended not to understand and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. Jiang Chun and I are girls after all. After a day of work, my body really can’t take it anymore. I’m not as strong as you men!”
