The tractor can’t be used. Gao Le is so drunk, and letting him leave with Xie Qin like this isn’t an option.
If anything happens on the road, the old couple at the Gao family, along with their kids, would be devastated.
Xiao Chenye stood up and said in a deep voice, "I’ll go with them."
"I’ll go too," Mr. Xiao stood up and went inside to grab a thick coat and was ready to head out.
Xiao Chenye hurriedly declined, "Dad, it’s fine, I’ll go alone, it’s the middle of the night, why bother yourself?"
"Hmph!" Mr. Xiao ca out with his coat, snorted disdainfully, "You care about your brothers, but I care about my son!
Besides, it’s pitch dark outside, what if you encounter sothing scary? The wolves on the mountain won’t give a damn; if they see you, it’s just a matter of a couple of bites."
Well, if that’s the case, Wen Ran couldn’t just sit still.
She felt a bit terrified too, "Is there no other option but to go?"
"What else can be done?"
Wen Ran rolled her eyes, "What else can be done, just grab the couple back, wait till they’re sober tomorrow, then have him drive the tractor and take his wife ho."
"Huh?"
Xiao Chenye found it inconvenient, Wen Ran waved her hand, "Gao Le can stay at your house, and that one, Xie Qin, I’ll take her away.
I refuse to believe that she could stir up any trouble right under my nose."
Alright then, with words like that, the Xiao Family sprang into action to catch them.
Initially thought it would be hard to chase Xie Qin.
After all, she hadn’t drunk any alcohol, and moreover, she had a head start in running away compared to Gao Le.
But as soon as they chased outside, they saw the couple almost walking in a line one after the other on the road.
Xie Qin was wiping her tears in front, while Gao Le was barely moving, taking one step and retreating three.
Xie Qin kept sneaking glances backward from ti to ti.
Wen Ran: "..."
Well, there is still emotion between the couple; it’s just that dealing with issues between them may be a little tricky.
Gao Le was pulled away by Xiao Chenye and Mr. Xiao, both persuading and urging him.
Xie Qin noticed no one paid attention to her, so she braced herself and continued walking, but stopped again after a while.
No choice, walking a few more steps would an she would arrive outside the brigade.
This is a human settlent, where wild animals generally don’t venture, but once outside this...
"Walk on, why did you stop?"
Wen Ran folded her arms and sneered, "I thought you’re going to walk all the way ho!"
"Who asked you to make fun of ."
"Who made fun of you?" Wen Ran took out so seeds from her pocket, cracking and eating casually, "This is your road; can’t I walk on it?"
Xie Qin: "..."
She was choked up.
She turned her head and looked straight at Wen Ran.
The moonlight shone down on Wen Ran, dressed in a simple white shirt, gray-blue pants, her thick, luscious hair tied back into a braid, obediently falling behind her.
A few strands playfully popped out, accentuating her jade-like complexion.
Pretty.
Xie Qin thought Wen Ran looked even prettier than herself when she was younger.
Staring at Wen Ran, she suddenly blurted out, "You and the Xiao family haven’t tied the knot yet, have you? How about my brother?"
Wen Ran: "?"
Xie Qin’s random thought left Wen Ran stunned.
Not really, sis!
Recently, we’ve been exchanging jibes, and after that, you’re turning to matchmaking?
Seeing Wen Ran silent, Xie Qin thought more and felt her idea wasn’t absurd, continuing, "Look at Gao Le, he hangs out with people of his ilk.
Look at now; oh, you’d better not wade into such murky waters."
"Stop, stop, stop, your brother is not my type at all, but I do think there’s sothing you said that’s quite accurate."
"Huh?"
"Birds of a feather flock together," Wen Ran squinted her eyes with a smile, "Xiao Chenye, I am really set on marrying him."
Xie Qin: "... Then why don’t you look at how I’ve ended up?"
"You’re like this and still not satisfied?" Wen Ran clicked her tongue twice, "Honestly, Brother Gao really cares about you, a family where feelings and everyday life harmoniously coexist, open your eyes, see how rare that is?"
"I know he cares about , but I just don’t understand, why is it that he can’t stand caring for my brother?"
Wen Ran: "..."
She almost wanted to slap herself.
"Your care for your brother, the extent of it, has already started impacting your own family."
Xie Qin argued back, "Where did it have an impact? I haven’t deprived my kids of food or drink.
You’re an outsider; you don’t understand anything. My parents are good to , so I should honor them; I should support my brother, lighten their burden."
Wen Ran waved her hand, truly there’s no cure.
"Whether your parents are good to you, you may not know, but we sure do; genuinely caring parents won’t be greedy without limits, wishing to suck their daughter and her family dry."
Parents who truly cared wouldn’t pinch a penny from their daughter, but rather always worry about her well-being.
The behavior of the Xie family’s parents boiled down to manipulation.
She didn’t want to say much more, plainly, "Co with ."
"Where to?"
"To my house to sleep."
"I won’t go, I want to go ho."
Wen Ran smiled, "Suit yourself~ if you don’t want to go, then walk alone.
Though, once outside the brigade, rember to run faster, this area isn’t very safe, full of wolves, and black bears too. Just yesterday, a bear was bitten to death by a pack of wolves."
Xie Qin was already scared, and what Wen Ran said made her legs feel weak.
She thought if only Wen Ran could persuade her more, she surely would agree to go back together.
However, Wen Ran was straightforward.
Upon finishing the words, she turned around and walked away, seamless.
Xie Qin: "...?"
She glanced at Wen Ran’s retreating figure and then at the pitch-black path outside.
Winding, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Wolves, bears...
Already jittery, Xie Qin found herself even more frightened by Wen Ran’s words.
She wiped away so tears, silently following Wen Ran.
Wen Ran caught sight of Xie Qin through the corner of her eye, chuckled, "Got you, there’s no one I can’t handle."
After saying all that, it showed how sweet and kind-hearted she was.
For the rest, they can do whatever they want.
Besides, Gao Le seed like he had a knack for ideas.
He ought to be able to handle things well.
Arriving at the Xiao ho, Wen Ran greeted the Xiao Family parents briefly and went back with Hongguo.
"Will this be alright?"
Mrs. Xiao always felt anxious.
"It’s fine," Wen Ran reassured, "She’s slender, not much muscle, let alone three of them against ."
Mrs. Xiao was flustered.
Perhaps, it indeed seed like that.
"Leaving now!"
"Ranran, bring Hongguo in the morning, aunty will make buns for you, sauerkraut-filled ones."
"Alright!"
