Chapter 7

ge covered half his face, looking pale and submissive as he squatted against the wall.Ning Yuan subconsciously took a few steps forward, blocking Rong Zhao Nan's face: "Don't do this, he didn't bully...When Li Yan saw the young woman with large eyes before him, his stern expression softened.

He stepped forward: "Ning Zhiqing, we are all your like-minded people. Don't be afraid, we are here to protect you and punish the bad guys!"

Ning Yuan's expression was complex and dazed.

She has been married to Li Yan for decades and there is not the kind of exaggerated plot you see in most novels, like being killed by her husband and a mistress.

Li Yan was born into a family of honest and upright people. He was fair-minded and incorruptible, becoming the youngest captain in the commune at a very young age.

They were introduced to each other when she cut the line, and they later fell in love freely.

Li Yan later studied at the Lin Institute and became a young and capable state-owned enterprise official.

By the time he reached thirty, he had become the youngest departmental-level cadre in the province's state-owned enterprises.

And she had always been just an ordinary worker, and everyone said she got lucky, becoming the department head's wife.

As Zhang Ailing once said, life is like a brocade robe, with lice crawling all over it.

She worked too hard at the silk factory, working shifts around the clock. Even while pregnant, she still had to do housework. She was exhausted day and night and suffered three miscarriages. Finally, it was her husband who wanted a child that made him transfer her to an accounting position so she wouldn't keep having miscarriages.

He was so busy with work that he hardly ever went home. He disliked her because she couldn't give birth to a son and had low education, and they had nothing in common.

He has a bad temper and yells at people at home whenever something goes wrong.

Then again......

He had a talented female journalist on his communication team who was his confidante.

Ning Yuan knew Li Yan must have thought about divorcing her many times.

However, due to social pressure, the female journalist waited for him for ten years, but in the end, they did not get together.

It seems like everyone in the family compound knows what's going on, but she can only pretend to be clueless.

She earns a low salary, and in this generation, divorce is something that people would gossip about.

Everyone said he was just having a fling outside of marriage, that men have homes in their hearts and wouldn't mind if she couldn't give birth to a son. She burned incense with great fervor hoping for the best.

可......

Every night, she stared at the ceiling until dawn, tears soaking her pillow. But during the day, she still put on a facade of being a dutiful wife and mother, managing the household.

Time passed day by day, yet Ning Yuan developed severe depression, suffering from sleepless nights.

Depression won't attack others like a person with schizophrenia, but it will attack the patient themselves.

She retired from her job early, and her health began to deteriorate. She started experiencing various immune problems, backaches, leg pains, and overall discomfort.

This is a glimpse into the lives of countless elderly virtuous wives and mothers.

Ordinary and quiet, pain is like countless needles piercing my heart.

She had fantasized countless times in the dead of night, wondering if she would still marry Li Yan given the chance to rewind time.

What about you Would you marry your husband again in this lifetime

......

Ning Yuan stared blankly at the face before her.

Li Yan reached out and patted her shoulder with some concern: "Ning Yuan"

Ning Yuan jumped back instinctively, several steps at once. "Don't!"

Li Yan's hand froze in mid-air. Several people around her, wearing red armbands, also looked at each other in surprise. What was wrong with this female educated youth

Ning Yuan took a deep breath, calming herself down, and forced a smile. "Sorry, I was just a little shocked."

Li Yan looked at the girl with wide eyes in front of him, her face pale. He felt a pang of sympathy: "It's okay, the squad will take care of you, and no bad person will get away with it!"

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Rong Zhaonan who was leaning against the wall.

Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan with an impassive expression, taking in her strange reaction.

What's the relationship between the little spy and this company clerk They seem to be flirting, it's not normal.

"You bad element, what are you looking at Get down on your knees and behave yourself!" Several red-armbanded men beside Li Yan reprimanded Rong Zhaonan when they heard him speaking.

Ning Yuan also subconsciously looked at Rong Zhao Nan.

He was very tall, wearing black-rimmed glasses and bowing his head. His fringe covered half his face, looking pale and submissive as he squatted against the wall.

Ning Yuan subconsciously took a few steps forward, blocking Rong Zhao Nan's face: "Don't do this, he didn't bully me, he did nothing wrong."

All the Red Scarves were stunned, and Li Yan's face grew serious again: "Ning Yuan, don't protect bad guys out of fear!"

Ning Yuan took a deep breath, lifted her eyes to look at Li Yan: "No, I'm not afraid, and I don't condone bad people. Rong Dafu and I are talking about becoming a couple."

Li Yan's face turned pale, and he stared at Ning Yuan in disbelief.

Although they haven't officially confirmed their relationship or started dating, it's clear that they have a good connection.

He several times went down to the village team to inspect work and assign tasks to the commune. Whenever he saw her, they had a lot to talk about.

Her eyes looked at him with a mixture of shyness and joy. They made an appointment to meet again, marking the official start of their relationship.

This morning I heard that Ning Yuan had an accident last night, he immediately brought people over. He has always believed she is innocent, someone must have bullied her last night.

Why...

Before she was about to rip through the window paper and confirm their relationship, she changed!

Several Red Arm Bands watched Li Yan's face turn ashen, suddenly a little confused, what was going on

They also knew that the young squad leader was a handsome young man known far and wide.

Many girls liked Li Yan, but it seemed he had taken a liking to a female educated youth. It was said that she had been bullied by bad elements and he came over early in the morning.

But looking at the current situation, it seems like Li Yan is acting rashly, isn't he

Ning Yuan turned away from Li Yan, clenched her fists, and said, "I don't know who started this rumor, but Rong Dafu and I have already gotten a certificate in the village. We're going to get our official license tomorrow!"

God gave her a second chance at life, she didn't want anything to do with Li Yan!

She has to change her way of life this time around, she's never going back to the old ways again. She won't let herself be depressed for the rest of her life.

I wasn't brave enough before, afraid to take a chance. Now, those who have moved on, it's time to say goodbye!

Li Yan stared at her, not knowing how an indescribable pain welled up in his heart.

It feels like something is being let go of.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Since...it's good that Qing wasn't bullied, I have work to do, I'm leaving!"

Saying that, he turned and strode away.

The rest of the red-sleeved attendants looked at each other in surprise, then quickly followed suit.

In a short while, the area around the stable became quiet.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but redden her eyes, leaning against the wall as if weak and drained.

She... was truly about to say goodbye to her past life completely, her heart aching with a mixture of sadness and apprehension.

Rong Zhaonan patted his pants and stood up, looking in the direction Li Yan had left. "That young scribe is your sweetheart He seems to dislike me quite a bit."

Ning Yuan rubbed her temples wearily: "No, Li Yan is very honest in these aspects. He would never take revenge on you because of me."

Although Li Yan wasn't really a good husband, nor a good father.

Though he worked diligently throughout his life, he remained remarkably upright and incorruptible.

Although he held power in his hands, he was never corrupted and never acted for personal gain.

Don't say that you bribed him with money, even if someone gave him a crate of imported fruit, he would either refuse it or hand it over.

He was known for his integrity and incorruptibility throughout his life. His wife and daughters hardly benefited from his position, he truly was a model official who lived a simple and honest life!

Look, people are just so complex.

Rong Zhaonan watched Ning Yuan speak of Li Yan with familiarity, and he raised an eyebrow —

"You know him well, why not ask him to help you get out of your current predicament You don't have to marry me."have some tea oil sent from home Get some tea oil, and let's go see Wang Jianhua together."Qin Xiaoxia's face turned bad.She was from Guibe, sent down here.
