She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 441 The Greedy Little Country Girl 21

Shen Weicang sat with his legs apart, and put his hands on the bench between his legs, rocking back and forth: "Jinzi, just rest assured, I'm not that easy to be deceived."

"Besides, it was Captain Xu who brought them to the village for research today, and they were accompanied by township officials. How could they be lying?"

Shi Cuiyun patted her arm and said, "Don't keep wandering around in your skirt."

"So you and them are..."

Shen Weicang said "Oops", "I forgot to tell you something. This afternoon, Yan Feng asked me if I wanted to go back to high school and take the college entrance exam. He also said that he would help me find textbooks and review for me."

"Go to high school?" Zhou Jinjun was a little embarrassed. "The tuition fee for the No. 1 High School in our county is quite high."

Shi Cuiyun saw what Shen Weicang was thinking: "Cangcang, do you want to go to high school?"

Shen Weicang continued, "Qin Ji also asked me if I wanted to go to Beijing to study. I'm considering it."

Zhou Minqing, who had been eating quietly, suddenly became anxious: "Cangcang, do you want to go to the capital with them?"

Even if they were not lying, it was too dangerous for a girl like Cang Cang to go to a place as far away as the capital. What if she was bullied while away from home? They wouldn't even be able to receive letters at that time.

"Oh, I haven't thought about it yet," Shen Weicang said in a coquettish tone, "I'm thinking about it. It's only July now, and school doesn't start until September. It's still early."

Shi Cuiyun was already a little anxious, and after hearing her words she became even more worried. She didn't even eat a few bites of food that night.

Lying on the bed, she and Zhou Jinjun sighed at the same time.

"Cangcang is a strong-willed child. I've seen that since she was little," Zhou Jinjun whispered. "When my sister and her family got into trouble a while ago, she was able to exchange her and her parents' land for money from those uncles. She's not the type to suffer a loss."

Shi Cuiyun was annoyed: "We are helping her fight with her uncles and aunts, and it's all thanks to their captain who is reasonable."

"No matter how independent she is, she is still a child. If she really goes to the capital, she might run into some scammers. She is young and doesn't know fear. Do you really dare to let her go to the capital with two people whose background you don't know?"

Tonight they were a little overwhelmed when facing Zhu Yanfeng and Cheng Qinji. If Cang Cang really goes to the capital and encounters something in the future, they are just farmers, what can they do to help the child?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became:

"If Mr. Cheng can really arrange for the child to study in Beijing, can we repay this favor? If we don't sort it out clearly, if Cang Cang doesn't get along with him in the future, will he use this matter to control her?"

Zhou Jinjun was also confused and didn't know what to do.

Originally, I just wanted to arrange Cang Cang's marriage, but I didn't expect that three big shots would show up now, and they only have this one niece.

Studying is indeed a serious matter. If the child can be admitted to a technical secondary school in the future, his life will be stable, which is enough to give an explanation to his sister.

Zhou Jinjun felt that it was a bit stressful to leave her in the county to attend high school, but he was worried about letting her go to Beijing.

Zhou Jinjun lay flat on his back, looking at the dark roof. "The child has said that she is still considering it. It's a waste of time for you to worry about it. Go to sleep and then listen to what she thinks."

Zhou Minqing also pestered Shen Weicang and said, "Cangcang, don't be fooled by that person's sweet words."

"At home, they wouldn't dare to do anything to you even if they have bad intentions, but if you go to the capital and come to their territory, you can't say for sure."

Shen Weicang lay on his side and faced her: "Don't worry, sister. I'm not that easy to fool."

She leaned over and lowered her voice, "Qin Ji told me this afternoon that she could arrange a spot for you as well."

"I'm not going."

Zhou Minqing blurted out subconsciously that Cheng Qinji was giving benefits for her sister's sake, and it was okay for her to get some food and other things, but she couldn't agree to such a big thing.

After she finished speaking, she felt that her tone was a little anxious, and added:

"It would be fine if they were sincere to you, but don't think you are so smart. These city people are very smart. They give you some benefits only because they want to get their money back. They all care about you."

Shen Weicang hummed a few times: "I'm not a child anymore, of course I know."

Zhou Minqing was helpless, but still didn't say anything more.

The next morning, Zhou Jinjun and Shi Cuiyun had just finished their meal and hadn't cleared the table when Xu Manyuan's voice rang out in the yard: "Jinjun!"

Zhou Jinjun walked out the door: "Manyuan, it's so early, have you eaten yet?"

"What are you still eating?" Xu Manyuan said anxiously, "Where's Cang Cang? Call her out!"

Zhou Jinjun was puzzled: "What do you want her to do? Tell me what's going on first."

Xu Manyuan walked into the main room, sweating anxiously: "Jingxiang is missing. I came here to ask Cangcang if she saw Jingxiang last night?"

"Jingxiang is missing?"

Zhou Jinjun and Shi Cuiyun said in unison: "We didn't hear of any strangers in the village yesterday. How could she be missing? Did she run out of the village?"

Xu Manyuan slapped the table and said, "Oh, don't ask this anymore. Just call Cang Cang out!"

Zhou Minqing cleared the dishes and Shi Cuiyun wiped the table: "Cang Cang didn't see Jing Xiang last night. I can testify to this. You should find someone quickly. If that doesn't work, call the police."

Xu Manyuan was so angry that he was incoherent: "What do you know? Jingxiang..."

He paused, then patted the table again in frustration, without saying anything else: "Did Cang Cang really not see Jing Xiang yesterday?"

"How could I lie to you?" Shi Cuiyun felt something was wrong. "Yesterday afternoon, Cang Cang went out with Professor Zhu to do some research. It was almost dark when I sent her back."

Zhou Jinjun added: "After sending the professor away, Cang Cang came back and went into the house. Jing Xiang has never been to our house."

"Manyuan, if it doesn't work, we can help you look for her," he asked again, "When did Jingxiang disappear? Didn't she go home last night?"

Shen Weicang came out from the inner room, his hair still loose and his eyes half asleep. "What happened?"

She seemed to hear Xu Manyuan say that Xu Jingxiang was missing.

Xu Manyuan immediately rushed to her and asked, "Cangcang, did you see Jingxiang come last night?"

Shen Weicang subconsciously took a step back: "No, I saw her in the office yesterday, and I didn't see her afterwards."

"Why didn't she come to you?"

Xu Manyuan was a bit aggressive, and Shen Weicang's tone became impatient: "If you say no, then no, Uncle Xu, why don't you report it to the police? Anyway, even if the police come to investigate, I still haven't seen her."

Xu Manyuan smiled apologetically: "That's not what I meant, Cangcang, just forget it if you haven't seen it."

"How are you and Captain Pei doing lately?"

Shen Weicang felt strange: "Uncle Xu, why are you asking me these questions instead of going to find someone?"

What is her relationship with Pei Jingche and Xu Manyuan?

Just as Xu Manyuan was about to say something else, another voice rang out from the yard: "Uncle, aunt, are you home?"

Shen Weicang's expression changed. It was Pei Jingche's voice.

She walked to the door and took a look, and it was indeed him.
