Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 76: Dissatisfied Kiss

"What are you thinking?" Ding Ancheng noticed Yi Roujing was lost in thought and lightly tapped her forehead.

"What do you think of Song Yiluo?" Yi Roujing asked softly.

"I don’t know her well, so I can’t judge her." Ding Ancheng frowned slightly, "But stay away from her, she’s not the type for a deep connection, seems insincere."

Yi Roujing was shocked and widened her eyes, "You don’t like her?"

Ding Ancheng raised his eyebrows, smiled coldly at Yi Roujing, causing her to shiver a bit and instinctively step back.

"Hehe, what’s wrong with you?"

Ding Ancheng grabbed her and headed down a path into the nearby small woods.

"Hey, hey, where are we going..." Yi Roujing stumbled as she was pulled, then bumped into Ding Ancheng’s embrace, only to have her lips swiftly sealed until her body weakened and breathing became difficult before Ding Ancheng released her.

"You, you..." Yi Roujing covered her lips with one hand, looking at Ding Ancheng in utter shock. How bold he was, this was outside, and she didn’t know what had provoked him again.

Seeing Yi Roujing’s cheeks blush, lips slightly swollen, Ding Ancheng regretted it; he didn’t want her looking like this to go out.

"I’ll take you home."

"Eh?"

Confused, Yi Roujing was taken home, and then Ding Ancheng hurried to catch the tractor.

"What happened, why is Big Brother back again?" Anguo was just finishing washing up and walked over with a towel.

When Anmin saw Yi Roujing’s lips, memories from the previous time at the hostel flashed through his mind, and he quickly pushed her inside the house.

"Big Brother doesn’t know how to be gentle, didn’t get enough last night, huh?" Anmin muttered, Yi Roujing’s eyes became hazy, and her face flushed upon hearing.

"You unmarried girl shouldn’t say such things over your lips." Yi Roujing quickly calmed down and sternly corrected.

"I should be getting married." Anmin pondered seriously.

Yi Roujing quickly thought of the book which mentioned Anmin’s future husband, named Li Ronggen, eight years older than Anmin, depicted as thoroughly honest, though it didn’t state when they met, nor if he’s from nearby.

On the way to the team warehouse to collect tools, Yi Roujing hastened a few steps and asked Anguo, "Anguo, have you heard of someone named Li Ronggen?"

"Li Ronggen? If he’s a Li, he should belong to the Lotus Production Team, many Lis are there, Mom’s from there." Anguo replied, "Why is Sister-in-law asking? Need something from that Li Ronggen?"

"Nothing, just heard back home that he seems quite old and unmarried, idly asking, unsure if it’s good or bad." Yi Roujing found an excuse.

Anguo didn’t suspect after hearing, must be someone eager to marry their daughter off, investigating Li Ronggen’s character in advance.

"Eh, Anguo."

As Yi Roujing was talking with Anguo, suddenly someone called, they looked up to see a young man wearing military green Dacron suit, similar in age to Anguo, coming over, standing just half a head shorter than Anguo.

"Li Yonghu?" Anguo called after watching for a while.

"Eh, it’s me." Li Yonghu smiled and patted Anguo’s arm, "I happened to come to Dingping Production Team today, thought of seeing you, haven’t seen each other since high school graduation, it’s been over two years, you seem tanner."

"You’ve gotten paler." Anguo replied with a smile, originally a dark-skinned young man, hence he hadn’t immediately recognized him.

Li Yonghu slightly lifted his chest, proudly said, "I joined Tongxian Commune now, serving as a clerk, came to observe Dingping Production Team’s spring cultivation today."

"You’re really capable." Anguo praised without jealousy.

Li Yonghu enjoyed the compliment, then looked at Yi Roujing standing beside Anguo, actually noticing her early on, such a pretty girl was a rare sight, she captivated him at first glance but as a public servant he needed to maintain his image.

"Anguo, is this... your sister?" Li Yonghu asked curiously.

"My sister’s over there." Anguo pointed behind him to Anmin, Li Yonghu peeked, seeing Anmin wearing a blue shirt, black pants, hair braided darkly, smiling brightly, his eyes widened, Dingping Production Team was amazing, the girls were all pretty.

"Then this one?" Li Yonghu restrained himself, redirected his gaze back to Anguo and asked, surely whoever walked with Anguo should be his wife, "You’re not married, are you?"

"No, this is my sister-in-law." Anguo shook his head.

Not married, good, still good... "Your sister-in-law?"

Li Yonghu sighed a bit, realizing she was already married. As expected, such a beautiful girl wasn’t pursued by everyone.

"Your sister-in-law is really young." Li Yonghu changed the topic, "Anguo, I’ll go do my work first, catch up with you later."

"Okay." Anguo waved his hand.

After the man left with the Team Leader Ding Xiaoding, Anguo finally realized, "Oh, right, Li Yonghu is from the Lotus Production Team, I’ll ask later about the Li Ronggen Sister-in-law mentioned. Better not tell Mom about Lotus Production Team matters, she doesn’t like that place due to her family ties."

Yi Roujing paused a bit, turned her head to glance at Anmin, then nodded.

"What’s wrong?" Anmin noticed Yi Roujing looking, approached.

"Nothing."

"So strange."

In the evening upon returning from work, Anguo solemnly called Yi Roujing aside.

"Did you find something unpleasant?" Yi Roujing rarely saw Anguo so serious.

"Li Ronggen, 27 years old, the eldest in his family, with one younger brother and two sisters. Parents have passed, siblings all raised painstakingly by him, but he has to work to support the family, almost always buried in the fields, earning ten work points each day."

"Ordinary families would never marry their daughters to him, once married, she’d become the eldest sister-in-law responsible for the siblings, it’s hard labor, and Li Ronggen is busy working, not enough attention to the siblings’ education or care. His brother Li YunGen, who’s 23, is notorious for mischief, mixed in the black market, caught several times by the police, even served reformation months."

"The older sister, 25, is married, connected by Li YunGen, her husband is also a troublemaker, influenced to play mahjong frequently."

"The younger sister is slightly better, serious about studies, high school graduate, now acting as an accountant in their team."

Anguo meticulously relayed what he found, Yi Roujing frowned tightly, if Li Ronggen’s situation is like this, why did Anmin marry him eventually? Knowing Li Hongying belonged to Lotus Production Team, Yi Roujing felt Anmin likely wouldn’t marry into that situation, something seemed unusual.

Thinking back to seeing Li Xipei in Huaixi County previously, unsure if it’s related to them.

"Sister-in-law, just be honest when asked." Anguo detailed his investigation because it’s his own sister-in-law asking.

"Yes, I understand."
