Chapter 376: Zhang Yi Injured the Root
"Brother, let me help you." This content is the textual material of Chapter 376 of "Rural Beauty 376." (paohu8)
"Li Yun glanced at the students passing by and slowly straightened up,掩嘴 smiled shyly, saying, 'How do you know your brother Zhang likes meat buns? Did you sneakily watch him eating buns?' Lu Yun smiled to himself. He not only saw Zhang Yi eating meat buns, but also saw him clearing land, planting crops, and drilling wells, with a steady stream of water dripping from the well. 'Sister, what's in this box? It's quite heavy. I'll help carry it over and then head back to class,' Lu Yun pretended not to understand what Li Yun had just said, steering the conversation toward the paper boxes he was holding. Just now, when Li Yun leaned on it, it nearly slipped out of his hands and flew. This content is the text from Chapter 376 of 'Rural Beauty.' Li Yun smiled gracefully, 'It's nothing special. Didn't the principal's office have its windows broken recently? When Zhang Yi went to buy groceries, he brought a few things over—specifically what, I'm not sure. Since you're so eager to help, I won't hold back. Let's go—don't delay your class."
"Lu Yun nodded and walked toward the education commission director's office alongside Liu Yun. "Lu Yun, I haven't seen you around these days. Last time you really helped me and your brother Zhang—thank you so much, I still haven't had a chance to properly thank you. At noon, when I went to the canteen, my sister-in-law specially cooked two dishes for you, just to show her appreciation." Liu Yun swayed gracefully beside Lu Yun, her slender waist twisting gently as she spoke. Lu Yun knew she was referring to Li Huashan's growing interest in her. He recalled the incident when Ahui had beaten up Zhang Yi, leaving him speechless. Ever since, Lu Yun had felt a sense of guilt. If not for his own accidental fall on the parallel bars that led to his arrest at the police station, Zhou Quan wouldn't have brought Zhang Yi to the scene, and thus wouldn't have met Liu Yun. That would have prevented Li Huashan from developing his interest in Liu Yun, and Zhang Yi would still have been the strong, confident man he was—now reduced to a mere dog. Li Huashan! The man with the scarred face!
The first one is Zhou's well-rounded cousin, and the second is Zhao Kai's first cousin—both are seasoned players in the social scene. However, to Lu Yun, Li Huashan feels cold and mountain-like, while the scar-faced man, though rugged and full of street charm, seems entirely on another level altogether. "You're being too polite, sister," Lu Yun said, puffing out his chest. "I'm merely doing what any ordinary person would do—standing up for justice when I see someone being wronged. Heroes and knights don't keep score."
Liu Yun was no one to tolerate sand in her eyes. She had watched every little thing Land Yun did, and now, with a soft smile, she leaned close to him and said, "Little guy, haven't you been thinking about it? Last time, when I and Brother Zhang were enjoying ourselves, you loudly interrupted us, spoiling our good time. Now, don't you think it's time to make up for it? I'd already told you a while ago to help me clear the clogged drains. But after that incident, Brother Zhang got injured—though he's now recovered, his vitality has definitely declined. If we don't cultivate this patch of land again, it'll soon turn into overgrown wild grass."
Land Yun hadn't even opened his mouth yet when Liu Yun continued with a chuckle, "Slow down a bit, please—be careful not to accidentally poke a big hole in the box. This content is from Chapter 376 of 'Rural Beauty.'”
"Brother, can we just leave this out? It's making me so hot all over. You can't even help me with this. Even though Brother Zhang is so strong, he's only slightly less capable now—how could he make you
Lu Yun really wanted to poke a big hole through the box, to fully vent all the pent-up anger building up inside him. Liu Yun said, "But his spade has already rusted—no matter how hard he tries, it just won’t shine. Wouldn’t you rather watch your sister’s well-tended farmland gradually overgrown with weeds?"
" Sister, I’m not saying I don’t want to help. Zhang’s strong spade can’t even clear all the wild grasses from your fields. My smaller spade might not be enough either. When I finally get down to work, I’ll probably break it within just a few strokes—wouldn’t that only make you feel even more heartbroken?" Lu Yun lifted the paper box slightly, knowing that if he kept pushing, he’d surely puncture it badly. This box was specially prepared for the head of the Education Commission—a rigid old man who’d surely be difficult to please if anything went wrong.
Liu Yun chuckled, "You're kidding, right? You're still just a spade, yet the spade has made Liu's widow so infatuated with you. Didn't she already handle your spade? How could I not know its condition? Just tell me—do you really want to get rid of all the weeds from your sister-in-law's field, clear out the clogged well opening, irrigate the crops, and at the same time, polish your spade on the well's edge?"
Lu Yun paused, surprised by how direct Liu Yun was, and hesitated, "That'll take some thought—what if I fail? Zhang will surely give me a beating."
As they spoke, they reached the office of the elderly education commissioner. Liu Yun knocked on the door, and a weak voice from inside called out, "Come in."
Liu Yun pushed the door open, and Lu Yun followed. Under Liu Yun's instructions, Lu Yun placed the paper box against the wall, then stood aside, watching Liu Yun.
"Director, I've already delivered the items you asked for. Would you like me to check if anything seems off?" Liu Yun's voice was sweet and endearing, and as soon as she spoke, the director lifted his head, smiling warmly at her. "Not at all, little Yun. Thank you so much for S Zhang's help—please sit down." Glancing sideways at Lu Yun, he furrowed his brows and said, "Lu Yun, how come you're here? Didn't you go to class yet?" Liu Yun interjected, "Director, the box was too heavy, and my husband still can't leave it, so I had to ask Lu Yun to help deliver it." The director nodded, gave a short hum of approval, and with a bright smile, looked at Liu Yun, saying, "Little Yun, I heard that Zhang Yi's injury has left a lasting impact. If you ever have any difficulties, don't hesitate to come to me—I'll do everything I can to meet your needs." ... Rural Beauty 376, Main Text 376—Update for Zhang Yi's Injury Completed!
