The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 507 The Chess That Breaks the Game (2)

"Yu Fen!"

Lin Mi called her name and ran over with tears in her eyes.Almost at the same time, another girl stretched out her friendly hands and hugged her tightly.

"You were the one who came to my house last time and put money at the door?"

Lin Mi didn't expect her guess to be so accurate, so he could only smile to relieve the embarrassment.

"We have survived the most difficult time, thank you for your help."

Yu Fen wiped away the tears constantly falling from the corners of her eyes, and stuffed the whole small cloth bag with money next to her body into her hand:

"Repay you so much first, and pay the rest on a monthly basis."

"No need," Lin Mi glanced at Qilan nervously, lowered his voice, and leaned into her ear, "There's no need to rush to pay back the money, save it."

"I'm saving it. When the turmoil in your family is over, I will pay your tuition. We will study hard in the classroom together. In the future, we will go to high school and college."

Hearing about going to school, Lin Mi's heart was touched.In the past, she didn't like studying, and she never thought that one day her studies would be interrupted due to family changes.When I got out of school, I missed those carefree days of studying.

"It's so kind of you, and I'm looking forward to going back to school again."

Lin Mi was so moved that his eyes were covered with tears, and he wanted to hold his friend to reminisce about the old days, but he heard a man's impatient shout from the courtyard:
"Fen'er, come in quickly, it's time to help your mother make lunch!"

"My father told me to go back, I'm so sorry," Yu Fen reluctantly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I have a little book here for you."

It was a thin booklet in Chinese, printed with ancient poems and prose, which was easy to memorize.

"Fen, thank you."

She bent down again and picked out some snacks, wrapped them in clean paper, and stuffed them into Lin Mi's arms:
"This is something my dad made fresh this morning, take it with you and eat it on the road."

The two girls held each other's hands tightly.I don't know when I will see you next time.

However, when they left, none of them cried, holding back their tears and waving goodbye.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Fen had packed up the stall and returned home with the bench between her legs.

She sat at the simple desk and spread out the book, carefully flipping through the pages.It is said that women's high schools are difficult to pass, and only those who pass high school can hope to go to university.

Lin Mi walked around to the side of the road with a Chinese pamphlet in one hand and snacks in the other.

"Yu Fen gave me a gift. These days her house is better than before."

She raised the things in her hands and smiled at him, "Let's hurry up and go see Chris. Brother Chen's pancakes will be dry and hard after we put them down."

Qilan sat on the bicycle, seeing that her mood had improved when she came back, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Chen must have a way. Since we can keep the pancakes from falling out, they must also keep them crispy and delicious."

Both of them took care of each other's emotions, and they talked about happy things along the way.

The mood improved, even the scenery in the cold winter looked a little less bleak and a little more warm.

She spoke of the life she had led in the country, and was generally satisfied.

My father had never seen the farmlands and vegetable fields in the north. Every time she helped him walk slowly along the small field path, he would attract the attention of many laborers.

The villagers are simple and honest, and they show their friendliness to the Lin family's father and daughter in the most direct way.

When she goes back for a walk, she will have more vegetables in her hand, as well as wild fruits and mushrooms picked in the woods.

Mrs. Chen taught her how to cook and make soup.At first it can only be seen from the side.

A month later, the little girl who doesn't touch the spring water can barely cook one or two side dishes, and she is happy for her progress
Across a distance of a hundred meters, at a glance, the entrance of the dance hall is still lively.

People come and go, and there is a lot of traffic.

Qilan once thought that only at night would be the most congested, but unexpectedly there would be a lot of traffic in the afternoon.

"Mi'er, wait for me where you are, I'll go over and ask."

He rode his bicycle to that lively place alone, and soon there were entertainers around him.

"Which lady do you want to go in, sir? Most of them don't work during the day."

"Oh, who's on duty now?"

"Miss Wu Feifei is here, she only sees a few people."

Before the man finished his report, Qilan turned his head and walked back.

When Lin Mi saw him come back with a blank face, he had already guessed eight or nine points.Chris is not here.

But that didn't bother her.

The house Chris had rented was only destroyed by fire, not by bombs.Maybe people are busy repairing the house?
She led Qilan to the small courtyard that was burned, and before she got close, she saw some workers using wooden ladders to put tiles on the eaves.

Chris and a middle-aged lady stood at the door, talking softly.Presumably it was her landlord.
Along the way, Qilan was debating whether to go to Li Yan for an interview in person.

Although his current attitude was much friendlier than at the beginning, when he thought of what General Hong was about to do, he felt pressure to open his mouth.

On the one hand, they sent people to control Mrs. Lin tightly and monitor her every move, for fear that she would run away.

On the other hand, they forced Dean Dong to marry his niece over, urging him urgently and by any means.

Li Yan does not save face for others, and embarrasses others with his eloquent tongue, but he is honest and kind in his heart.

He wholeheartedly focused on the Lin family. If he knew that his uncle had acted so despicably, would he go to extremes like Lu Shibin when his eyes turned red?
Every time he fell into deep thought, Qilan's face would unknowingly become serious.

Facing a game of chess that is difficult to play, it is particularly important to find the piece that breaks the game.

Only three days until the end of the month.

General Hong must have made a big move before he sent someone to send a handwritten letter to inform Dean Dong.

Suddenly, Qilan remembered the nervousness on Li Yan's face when he accidentally saw the handkerchief that night.

The carefree little apprentice also booed beside him, saying that the master has a girl who is in love with him.

At that time, if he hadn't eaten sweet potatoes during the competition to support his stomach, he could have been groping along these words.

It seems that Li Yan also hid something on his mind, so he remained so silent uncharacteristically.

Could the handkerchief belong to Shi'an?

Last time, Shi'an quietly passed on Mrs. Lin's distress note.

Although she didn't say much, Qilan could understand that it was not easy for her to take the risk of being discovered by her father to help her.

And for a while, he was not sure whether he should hand over the note to Li Yan intact, fearing that it would cause trouble, so he put it in his pocket.

If I hadn't met Mrs. Lin again today, I don't know how long this matter will be dragged on in hesitation.

"In this case, I should go to Shi'an to find out about the recent situation. Firstly, I can find out the whereabouts of General Hong, and secondly, I can also know the situation of Lin Mi's mother."

A difficult problem was placed in front of him again:
Once Shi'an knows all the plots her father has arranged against the Lin family, will there be waves in her heart?

Can she continue to be the happy and domineering, bold and cunning Miss He in the past?
