Chapter - 109 - Dreaming of You

Yi Minghuan and Tang Li skillfully deflected the accusations, dispelling the dirty water that Xiao Ru had attempted to throw their way. The villagers, realizing Xiao Ru's true intentions, expressed their disdain for her actions.

"Oh! This is really shameless! This is trying to steal a man!"

"Tsk tsk, that's right, I really can't tell..."

Tang Li, wiping away her tears, stood up and deliberately spoke up in defense of Xiao Ru.

"Aunts and uncles, Xiao'ru probably doesn't mean that. She is from the city, and the people in the city speak warmly and pleasantly. Maybe she doesn't mean that. It's not good for us to slander her reputation like this."

The strategy was clear: maintain a soft and sympathetic demeanor to win over the crowd. The more delicate Tang Li appeared, the more people would rally in her support!

"Tang Li, you silly child, you're still talking for her now! She's just a little vixen with her tail sticking out!"

The aunt spoke harshly in a loud voice, and the others followed suit with nods of agreement.

"Auntie, you have no proof, how can you speak so harshly! Tang Li doesn't believe that Xiao Ru has such thoughts, so what are you yelling about!"

Two educated youths who were friends with Xiao Ru, defended her against the accusations. They couldn't see her being insulted like this, so they stood up and spoke for Xiao Ru. 

The dispute escalated into a heated argument, attracting the attention of the production team leader.

Upon understanding the situation, he swiftly ordered everyone to disperse, quelling the confrontation.

However, the story spread. 

After the commotion, the production team leader, observing Yi Minghuan's stature and strength, attributed the trouble to his good looks.

To keep him occupied and prevent further disruptions, the leader assigned Yi Minghuan and Wei Guo to take the cattle to the veterinary station in the neighboring town.

So, the captain thought about it, and arranged: 

"Yi Minghuan, you and Yuhan will send the cattle to the veterinary station in the next town, and will leave now! If it's too late to come back, you can rest outside, and you will get work points for the money spent." 

Facing the directive, Yi Minghuan accepted and, turning to Tang Li, asked about her plans. "I guess I won't be able to come back at night. Are you still going to your mother's house?"

"I'll go by myself. My little brother's medicine can't be delayed. I'll just sleep at my mother's house tonight, and I'll come back to work tomorrow morning," Tang Li replied.

"Then be careful on the road," Yi Minghuan cautioned before leaving with Zhong Yuhan to handle the cattle down the road.

Tang Li watched them go, and rode her own bike to her mother's house.

Due to the delay, when Tang Li arrived at her mother's house, darkness had settled, and the streets were empty. Families were gathered for dinner, and she found herself alone at the door.

Dismounting her bike, Tang Li scanned the surroundings and confirmed there were no onlookers.

She retrieved a bag of wheat from her space and placed it on the ground. Pushing open the half-closed wooden door, she called out:

"Dad! Mom! Yu! I'm here!"

As soon as her voice fell, there was a sound from the yard. Tang Yu ran out of the house quickly, and when she saw that it was really his sister outside the door, he suddenly burst into laughter. He ran forward to hug her, and said happily: 

"Sister! You really came home! I dreamed that you came back last night, and my dream really came true! I will dream of you coming back every day from now on."

Touched by his words, Tang Li smiled and affectionately rubbed his head. "If you have a dream every few days, it will definitely come true every time."
