Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 621: Chapter 620: Matching Majors

If Zhang Jian and Shi Chengkun could get out of their cells now, they would definitely tear Lin Nianhe apart with their bare hands.

But obviously, they can’t.

And that so-called "confession for release" or "ten-year sentence" simply doesn’t exist; the two of them will face severe legal punishment.

Still, the kind-hearted Comrade Xiao Lin sent them off beyond the iron bars.

They didn’t look very joyful.

Maybe they had something on their minds.

Or perhaps they were just not the smiling type.

...

The next day, Lin Nianhe boarded the train with her large and small bags.

She had traveled this route too many times and had gotten used to the sway of the green-carriage train; not only did she no longer feel uncomfortable sitting there, but she could even find some fun in it.

For example, chatting casually with the train conductor;

Or chatting casually with other passengers;

Or talking to herself and then explaining to others she really wasn’t seriously ill...

In short, it was quite pleasant.

As soon as Lin Nianhe got off the train, she saw Wang Shumei leaning on a brand-new bicycle, waving at her from a distance.

"Wow, did Brother Qian buy this?" Lin Nianhe said, placing her luggage on the bicycle before handing a small package to Wang Shumei, "This is for your sister-in-law and little nephew. Pass it to them when you go by later, so she won’t refuse."

"Take a good look at this bike, see anything different compared to yours?" Wang Shumei hinted mysteriously at Lin Nianhe, raising her eyebrows.

Lin Nianhe hadn’t paid much attention at first, but reminded by Wang Shumei, she took a closer look... and still couldn’t see any difference.

"Don’t beat around the bush, just tell me." Lin Nianhe poked Wang Shumei’s waist, "I can’t tell."

Wang Shumei, acting like she was hiding something, pulled Lin Nianhe over and pointed to the bike’s logo; only then did Lin Nianhe notice that the "Phoenix brand" words were written somewhat carelessly.

"What’s going on?" Lin Nianhe suspiciously rubbed the logo with her hand.

Wang Shumei pulled her hand away, whispering, "Don’t rub it, it’s just dried from yesterday, don’t smudge it."

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

Wang Shumei pushed the bicycle, and while walking and making sure no one was around, she explained to her, "My brother found a way, all the parts sent here... Brother Manchu has the skills to assemble them... No need for a coupon, one can sell for two hundred and thirty or forty!"

Lin Nianhe did some math: "That’s indeed cheaper than buying a ticket and then a bicycle, and there’s no need to queue... but it’s a bit risky, after all, there aren’t many bicycles, especially in Lan County."

"Yeah, I know, so I also don’t plan to sell in Lan County... Brother Manchu sells them directly to the provincial city, and I only keep this one for personal use, not selling any more, to avoid trouble."

"Then there shouldn’t be any big problem." Lin Nianhe took another look at the bicycle and gave a thumbs-up, "I must say, Brother Sun’s craftsmanship is really good."

"Right? I also think it’s almost indistinguishable from a real one!"

"Indeed."

After talking about the bicycle for a while, Wang Shumei suddenly remembered to ask about something else: "Oh yeah, what’s going on with Sie Yufei?"

Lin Nianhe glanced at her: "What do you think?"

She didn’t believe Wang Shumei wouldn’t be able to guess.

Sure enough, Sister Shumei rolled her eyes and said, "It’s about Guan Manling in the provincial city, right?" The tone didn’t have a thread of doubt.

"I knew I couldn’t keep it from you." Lin Nianhe sighed silently and told her about Guan Manling’s situation.

After listening, Wang Shumei’s brows furrowed. After a long silence, she sighed deeply: "They’re all matters with no other choices; we can only hope that the doctor made a misdiagnosis."

"Yes..."

They walked slowly towards the Ten Miles Team.

Just a few meters from the entrance of the village, suddenly, Niuwa came running over with his little followers like a whirlwind.

Lin Nianhe thought Niuwa missed her and posed for their usual hug, arms wide open to embrace him.

Niuwa did throw himself into her arms, but the little guy didn’t act coy; instead, he had a serious face and said, "Sister Hehe, Sister Shumei, Uncle Team Leader told me to wait here for you!"

"Huh? What happened?" Lin Nianhe unconsciously furrowed her brows.

Niuwa glanced at Wang Shumei, hesitating to speak.

Bai Xiaojun didn’t have the same reluctance to be direct: "Teacher Shumei’s dad has arrived! He’s at the Educated Youth Corps now! He insists on waiting for Teacher Shumei to come back!"

"What?"

After Wen Lan went home and Lin Nianhe to the provincial city, Wang Shumei returned to her elder brother and sister-in-law’s home. Since Wen Lan would only arrive tomorrow, she decided to pick up Lin Nianhe today and then go back to tidy up the house.

She had no idea at all that Mr. Wang had come.

"Niuwa, how many days has he been here? How many people came with him?" Wang Shumei’s voice was somewhat anxious.

"Since this morning around ten, he brought a lot of luggage and also a boy, taller and stronger than He Jianyu," Niuwa explained clearly and concisely, pointing out the crux of the matter in just a few words.

"There’s a train to our place in the afternoon that arrives around 8:30 in the morning. He must have walked here..." Wang Shumei bit her lower lip, feeling half cold inside.

Carrying luggage and bringing a child meant that he was planning on staying with her for a good while.

Lin Nianhe pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Shumei, why don’t you go back to your sister-in-law’s first? I’ll send them away for you."

Wang Shumei gave a wry smile and shook her head, "You don’t know him; he seems honest and simple, but in reality, he’s incredibly stubborn—if he doesn’t get what he wants, he definitely won’t leave."

Lin Nianhe thought about Mr. Wang’s past actions... well, he really was that kind of person.

But still...

"Niuwa, what did Uncle Team Leader say?" Lin Nianhe asked.

She figured that with the fiery temperaments of the uncles and aunts at Ten Miles Team, and with Shumei’s resourcefulness, they surely wouldn’t allow Mr. Wang to mess around.

Suddenly Niuwa crouched like an old man on the side of the road, hands tucked away, looking up at Lin Nianhe and said, "Sister Hehe, he just squatted like this. Uncle Team Leader talked to him, and he didn’t utter a word. Aunt Wang tried to chase him away with a shovel, then he pushed the boy in front of himself."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

She could already imagine how high Aunt Wang’s fury must have been.

Had the visitor not come under the name of Wang Shumei’s father, Aunt Wang might have already finished burying him by now.

"This isn’t an honest person; this is simply a rogue..." Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but mutter under her breath.

Wang Shumei didn’t mind at all and nodded in agreement, "You’ve hit the nail on the head, he is a rogue."

Not all rogues are violent—actually, it’s rogues like Mr. Wang that are the most troublesome.

"There’s something odd about this situation. Why would he be bringing his stepson to see you out of the blue? Could it be that..." Lin Nianhe frowned, feeling that something was off.

Wang Shumei waved her hand tiredly, "I don’t want to know why he’s here right now, I just want to know how to get rid of him."

"Hey, what if you played dead like Tiechui?" Lin Nianhe suggested a bad idea.

"I might be able to play dead, but what about Xiaoxiao? What about Damin? What about my brother and sister-in-law?" Wang Shumei felt a pounding headache, "He only knows where I am right now. If he finds out my brother has a house in town... He doesn’t care if he seems shameless, he would definitely take his cheap son and make a beeline there, refusing to leave."

"It’s a bit tricky..." Lin Nianhe crouched beside Niuwa, silently pondering.

After a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up:

"Hey, it’s difficult for a good person to deal with a rogue, but a village bully dealing with someone like him is their professional expertise!"
