Chapter 20 Female Liar

The two talked intimately again, and they left after a while.

Li Yan's face was hot with embarrassment, and she secretly hated herself for running here with a feverish mind, and ended up encountering such a embarrassing thing.

After a long time, Li Yan fell asleep again.

"Child, wake up." Someone called in the ear.

Li Yan opened her eyes abruptly, and an uncle with gray hair stood in front of her.

"Who are you? Why are you sleeping here?" He asked kindly.

Li Yan quickly got up and explained, "Uncle, I'm a villager in Pingya Village. I heard that someone here planted pepper trees and made a fortune. I came to have a look, but I couldn't find anyone, and there was no hotel, and there was no place to go."

"I know about Pingya Village. I heard that it is about to be abandoned." The old man nodded and said, "I am the principal of this school. How about this? Show me your ID card."

Li Yan obediently handed the ID card to the principal, who looked at it and returned it to her, "I know Zou Chengmin, call him later, and ask him to take you to his family's plantation slope."

There are really things in the world where there is nowhere to go, and things happen without any effort. Li Yan was very happy, and quickly bowed to him to thank him.

However, she immediately remembered what she heard from outside the window last night.

"Oh, Uncle Principal, how many Zou Chengmin are there in your village?" Li Yan asked hastily.

The headmaster looked at her strangely, "Just one, is there any problem?"

Li Yan shook her head hastily, "No, I just asked casually."

The principal came to open the classroom door, "Oh, let's go, I'll take you to my house for breakfast."

When eating millet porridge and pancakes at the principal's house, Zou Chengmin came.

He was about twenty-five, of medium height, with a square face, small eyes, and a sunburned complexion.

"Teacher, did you ask me to come?"

The voice was familiar, it really was him, Li Yan thought of what she heard last night, as embarrassing as she could be.

"Have you eaten yet?" the headmaster asked.

"No." He replied.

The principal scooped up a bowl of porridge for him, "Sit down, this girl is from Pingya Village, her name is Li Yan, and she wants to come over to learn how to grow pepper trees. She will go and have a look after you have breakfast."

As soon as he entered the door, Zou Chengmin saw the girl. She had a slender figure and a fair and delicate face. She looked like she came from the city. He didn't expect that she was from the dilapidated village of Pingya.

"Thank you teacher, then show her around." Zou Chengmin took the porridge and drank it.

The principal asked while eating pancakes, "Li Yan, where did you hear about Chengmin planting pepper trees?"

When Li Yan mentioned Liu Huaying's name, Zou Chengmin exclaimed in surprise, "It's Uncle Liu from the Poverty Alleviation Office. He also led me to plant peppercorns. It's just you coming. Why didn't he tell me?"

"I was supposed to be sent here at noon yesterday, but I couldn't make it because I had something to do, so I came here by myself." Li Yan replied honestly.

"Then when did you arrive?" Zou Chengmin became suspicious. Liu Huaying couldn't just let a girl come over like this. Could it be that the person in front of him is a liar?
"Yesterday afternoon." Li Yan replied honestly.

Zou Chengmin frowned, "Then where did you live yesterday?"

The principal spoke from the side, "She slept in the school classroom last night, and I woke up in the morning when I went to open the door."

Zou Chengmin still didn't believe it, so he took out his mobile phone and called Liu Huaying, "Uncle Liu, I have a girl named Li Yan here, and she said she knew you."

"Ah...she went to your place alone! I asked her to see how you plant pepper trees, give her the phone, and I will talk to her." Liu Huaying was startled, Zouliushu Village is also poor In the village, there are many people who cannot marry a wife. If something happens to Li Yan, it will be terrible.
