She looked at Lu Zhengting and said, "Comrade Lu, are you still helping your uncle and the others with their work? Why don't you go back first? Thank you for today."

"Oh?" Lu Zhengting found it quite amusing to watch the drama unfold here. He asked Lin Qingyan, "Aren't you leaving?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "I want to watch for a while longer. Maybe someone else will come."

Lu Zhengting could understand the little girl's love of watching the excitement. "I'll carry the pig feed to the pigpen for you and hand it in. You can just go and pick up the basket later."

Lin Qingyan exclaimed that Lu Zhengting was so considerate, "Thank you, Comrade Lu."

Lu Zhengting smiled and said, "No need to be so polite with me."

It feels good to be able to help her with chores.

After Lu Zhengting left, Lin Qingyan waited for a while longer. Seeing that no one else came looking for Song Qingfang, she realized there was nothing more to say and went to the pigsty to get a basket.

The news of Song Qingfang deceiving the villagers quickly spread throughout the fields, and the educated youth working there also heard about it.

At noon, Song Qingfang returned to the educated youth settlement and noticed that the other educated youth were looking at her strangely. She could guess that these people must have found out what happened in the fields that day, and they must have started to despise her.

But what could she do? She just didn't want to be ostracized and wanted to be like everyone else.

No one spoke to her. She lowered her head and went into the dormitory, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), buried her head in the quilt, and sobbed for a long time.

At this moment, Tong Jiaojiao was the most pleased. Who told Song Qingfang to be at odds with her? When Song Qingfang was upset, she was overjoyed.

She happily ate two pieces of sponge cake while making sarcastic remarks.

"It's good to have money at home. You can ask your family for money whenever you want, as much as you want, and you don't have to pay it back. Isn't that great?"

Everyone knows she's deliberately trying to provoke Song Qingfang, but only Tong Jiaojiao would flaunt her wealth like that.

Ever since Er Laizi touched her, Tong Jiaojiao wanted Lin Guanghui to take responsibility for her. She gave up on Chen Wenbin and stopped bothering him.

She saw Lin Guanghui walking alone in a corner of the yard. She walked up to Lin Guanghui and handed him a piece of chicken cake: "Lin Zhiqing, here's one for you."

Lin Guanghui was about to take the food, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Lu coming out of the house. He didn't dare to extend his hand and warned Tong Jiaojiao in a cold voice: "Tong Zhiqing, men and women should not touch each other. Please keep your distance from me."

Tong Jiaojiao snorted coldly: "What distance are you talking about? You did that to me that night, you have to take responsibility for me for the rest of your life."

Lin Guanghui lowered his voice: "I told you that wasn't me."

"It would be strange if you didn't. You promised to try to get along and work things out with me. If you dare to have feelings for other women, I won't let you off the hook."

After spending more than a month together, she had actually fallen in love with Lin Guanghui. She hoped that she and Lin Guanghui could have a beautiful love story, so she didn't pressure Lin Guanghui to marry her.

The only thing that can be used to control Lin Guanghui now is what happened that night.

In the afternoon, Lin Sisi was too tired and asked Gu Mingzhou to come with her to work in the fields so that he could help her with some chores.

Gu Mingzhou was in a bad mood because of what happened yesterday, and he kept a sullen face as he walked down the street.

Along the way, there were other villagers going to work in the fields. Aunt Liu and several other women walked towards them and happened to meet them.

Seeing Gu Mingzhou and Lin Sisi walking quite close, and noticing that they were unfamiliar faces, Aunt Liu wondered if this was the brother-in-law that Lin Sisi had seduced by taking off her clothes.

She was the village's most gossipy person, and also the one who loved spreading gossip the most. She was also bold enough not to be afraid of being beaten, so she actually went up to Gu Mingzhou and asked, "Are you... are you this Lin Zhiqing's boyfriend?"

Gu Mingzhou nodded and hummed in agreement.

Seeing that Gu Mingzhou was quite handsome, she casually remarked, "So you're her brother-in-law. No wonder she stripped naked to seduce you. You're not bad looking."
