Chapter 244 Chen Shuning meets a strange woman and becomes alert
Wang Na sighed and said, "Is that so... Then let's go check out other guesthouses. Anding County is bigger than Dahe Town, after all. We'll definitely be able to find a place to stay."
This is the only way now, and several people slowly walked forward.
Noticing that Chen Jiawang was feeling a little down, Chen Shuning whispered, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you come out of the guesthouse with such a sullen face? Did the people inside make you angry?"
Chen Jiawang shook his head and said, "I met Xu Qingshan in there. This kid... I was really blind. I helped him so much before, but he...
It's fine that he's playing tricks on me in this matter, but when I met him just now, his tone was as if I was here to take advantage of him."
Hearing this, Ma Lanzhi slowed down her pace and asked, "Is he really like that?"
After saying this, Ma Lanzhi lowered her head in disappointment and said, "I used to think Xu Qingshan was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so selfish."
Ma Lanzhi was sad because Xu Qingshan had been very kind to her during their tutoring. She thought she had made a new friend, but she didn't expect...
"What are you disappointed about?" Wang Na glared at Ma Lanzhi and scolded her, "Wouldn't it be better if you could see Xu Qingshan's true face sooner?"
Chen Shuning raised an eyebrow, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Lanzhi, do you like Xu Qingshan?"
"No, no..." Ma Lanzhi waved her hands hurriedly and explained, "Didn't we go to the county to study together before? We met a few times, and I regarded him as a friend."
It feels bad to be "betrayed" by a friend. Ma Lanzhi couldn't understand why Xu Qingshan could run to the county on his own and not even give a reminder?
Wang Na put her hands behind her back, pretending to be mature, and said, "This is what they call knowing a person's face but not his heart. He seems nice enough normally, but when things get tough, he does this to us."
Chen Jiawang sighed, feeling indescribably sad: "When he asked me when I would come to the county that day, he must have already made up his mind to leave.
He was so patient that he didn't let anything slip. I wouldn't blame him if he had hinted at that."
Before, Chen Jiawang felt sorry for Xu Qingshan, as it was a pity that his sister didn't like him. Now he regretted it. Xu Qingshan was far inferior to Guo Junshan.
At least Guo Junshan genuinely cared about Chen Shuning, putting her first in everything. What about Xu Qingshan? His affection was superficial, with no real action.
"When you three are looking for a partner in the future, be sure to keep your eyes open!" Chen Jiawang warned: "You absolutely cannot date someone like Xu Qingshan!"
Chen Shuning was surprised by Chen Jiawang's change. It seemed that his second brother had been provoked by Xu Qingshan. But that was fine. Friends should be sincere to each other. Obviously, Xu Qingshan didn't have sincerity.
"Second brother is right!" Chen Shuning agreed in a servile manner, "Men understand men best. If my second brother says he can't do it, then he definitely can't do it!"
Wang Na straightened her schoolbag and said disdainfully, "I don't like Xu Qingshan! You don't know, he comes from a well-off family and usually has high standards!"
Wang Na glared at Ma Lanzhi again and said in a tone of disapproval, "Lanzhi, you're the only one who's so foolish as to think of him as a friend.
If he wanted to be friends with us, why would he have done it long ago? We've been in the countryside for several years, and he hasn't even smiled at us..."
After hearing this, Ma Lanzhi didn't change at all, but Chen Jiawang couldn't hold it anymore. It turned out that he was the fool who foolishly regarded Xu Qingshan as his friend.
"Don't get angry at people who aren't worth it," Chen Shuning advised. "Life is long. Who can guarantee they won't make a mistake?"
Wang Na thought for a moment and agreed, "Shuning is right. Lanzhi, I don't blame you this time. Just don't trust others so easily in the future."
Ma Lanzhi smoothed her bangs, glanced at Wang Na, and teased, "I only misjudged her this once, okay? Speaking of being deceived, I haven't been deceived as many times as you have..."
Wang Na rushed over and covered Ma Lanzhi's mouth with her hands, warning fiercely, "Don't say that!"
They had indeed arrived in the city a little late, and all the guesthouses were full. The only one that wasn't full had the last room next to a toilet.
Dry toilets already have a strong smell, and it’s summer now. If you really live in one, you won’t be able to eat. How can you do that?
Wang Na walked out of the guesthouse with a bitter face, sat on the steps, pounding her calves, and said distressedly, "What should I do? We've asked every guesthouse in the city..."
Chen Shuning also sat down, took out a can from his bag and drank some water.
"Huh... No, let's go ask my sister-in-law and see if she has any solution." Chen Shuning wiped the sweat off his face, looked at the sunset in the sky, and said, "It's so late..."
"Are you looking for a place to live?" A middle-aged woman in rustic clothes suddenly came over, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Young comrade, I have a few empty rooms.
I can rent it to you at a low price. Don't worry, it's no worse than a guesthouse. It's getting dark, you see..."
"Thank you for your kindness." Chen Shuning pulled Wang Na up and said, "We have relatives in the city, so we won't bother you."
Chen Jiawang frowned and said, "Let's go! Big Brother and his coworkers are having dinner at the hotel up ahead. Let's go find him."
Ma Lanzhi was a little confused, but she believed in Chen Shuning's character, so she pulled Wang Na and followed Chen Shuning forward.
Chen Shuning walked very quickly and only slowed down after crossing three streets.
"Second brother, there's no one following you, right?"
Chen Jiawang glanced back and whispered, "No, but we can't let our guard down. There are a lot of people in the city these days, so be extra careful when you go out."
"What's wrong?" Wang Na looked back and asked quietly, "Is there something wrong with that person just now?"
"This is a big problem!" Chen Jiawang strode forward and explained softly, "The woman just now was wearing clothes that only older people in the countryside would wear.
With the clothes she wears, how many houses can she own in the city? Is she kidding me? Houses in the city are not cheap, they are distributed according to work, and you can’t buy them even if you have money.
Wang Na suddenly realized and murmured, "No wonder I always felt weird!"
Chen Shuning knew that Wang Na was not so cunning, so he warned her worriedly, "Even if she is dressed very respectably, you can't follow her. We don't even know each other, why would she help us?
Besides, the cost of staying in a guesthouse isn't that expensive, and she's willing to give us a lower price. What's she trying to gain? I'm afraid she's a kidnapper, trying to trick us into staying there and then sell us off."
"Ah?" Wang Na subconsciously cried out in surprise, patted her chest, and sighed, "This is too scary..."
"I can tell you've rarely left the house." Chen Jiawang glanced at Wang Na and said, "I guess the farthest place you've ever been is Chenjia Village, right?"
Wang Na responded: "Hmm..."
Ma Lanzhi was also frightened. Fortunately, there were four of them. If there were only Wang Na and the other two, they would have been fooled.
She pinched the strap of her bag and asked, "What should we do now? We can't find a place to stay. Even if we go back to Chenjia Village, there are no cars."
Chen Jiawang analyzed the situation and said, "Let's go to my eldest brother and his wife's house first and ask them if they know anyone we can stay with. At worst, we can just give them some money."
