"I came here to talk to you about this."

Liu Xiuying said with a smile, "My mother told me that they are planning to buy my fifth aunt's old house, and they can move in after a little renovation."

"You mean the old, dilapidated house that Fifth Grandmother lives in?"

Peng Shiyu was surprised. "It seems like it's uninhabitable now. Even if we clean it up, it will probably cost a lot of money to make it habitable."

"There's nothing they can do; it's too late for them to build new houses."

Liu Xiuying shrugged. "They're getting married next month, so they can only find an old house to renovate and make it habitable."

"I remember that my fifth grandmother's old house wasn't too dilapidated."

Lin Jingyu continued, "We'll replace the roof and repair some of the collapsed walls. It should be done in a few days."

"If Wang Zhiqing tidies up and arranges things properly again, the couple should be fine."

"That's true."

Liu Xiuying nodded and said, "Wang Zhiqing has already gone to ask the Red Army uncles for help in repairing the house. It should be finished in a week at most."

"Buy a house, renovate the house, and then buy some furniture."

Peng Shiyu couldn't help but do the math for them, "It will cost Wang Zhiqing at least two or three hundred yuan to get things done, and we don't know if they will even hold a banquet then."

"We should hold a banquet with one or two tables."

Lin Jingyu voiced her guess, "Don't forget that Chu Yinghua bought you a wedding dress; she definitely wants to have a grand wedding."

"Just because she climbed into my bed..."

Peng Shiyu showed a look of disdain, "Everyone in the village knows that it's unlikely to be a success; people might just laugh at you."

Liu Xiuying's tone also revealed a sense of disdain, "I never expected her to be this kind of person."

"Others' choices, whatever the consequences, are their own responsibility."

Lin Jingyu looked at the person in front of her and decisively changed the subject, "How are you getting along with Brother Jin?"

Ah~

Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly shifted to herself, and Liu Xiuying's face instantly turned red. "I, we're fine."

"It seems you two get along well."

Seeing her shy and coquettish appearance, Peng Shiyu knew that the two of them must have really hit it off. "That's good. Get to know each other better and don't agree to marry him too easily."

"Definitely not."

Liu Xiuying was too embarrassed to look up at anyone, and muttered, "His official position hasn't been finalized yet, I won't agree to marry him."

Without a permanent position, he could go back to his hometown at any time, and I don't want to go back with him.

"There's really no rush."

Lin Jingyu nodded. "You're still young. You can get married in two more years. If Jin Chuanchao really likes you, he doesn't mind waiting for you for another two years."

They are all sixteen years old, and will be seventeen next year.

In Lin Jingyu's view, getting married at eighteen is considered early marriage.

"I know."

Liu Xiuying said, "My parents said that if he really wants to stay in our Chunnan County, he doesn't need to pay a dowry. He just needs to buy a small courtyard in the county to start a family."

My parents will help us out then, so we can live a good life.

"Xiuying, it seems your parents really dote on you."

Peng Shiyu couldn't help but praise, "No other parents in the village could have done this."

"My parents only have two children, my brother and me."

Liu Xiuying said with a smile, "Of course she will dote on my brother and me. Although my mother sometimes favors my brother a little, she is also very good to me."

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "Your parents are also cheerful people."

"That's how my family is, let's not talk about my family."

Liu Xiuying said to Lin Jingyu again, "Sister Jingyu, you know that these days the new educated youth have been saying bad things about you, and they've been saying really nasty things."

"If we didn't all know your character, we would definitely have been fooled by them."

"Ruin my reputation?"

Lin Jingyu immediately thought of what had happened a couple of days ago.

It must be related to that couple.

"Xiuying, who said bad things about Jingyu?"

Peng Shiyu frowned. "Jingyu has never interacted with them, so why are they bullying her?"

"I have no idea."

Liu Xiuying looked at Lin Jingyu and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Jingyu, what exactly happened?"

"Uh~"

Lin Jingyu looked helpless and had no choice but to recount the story of the couple who came to buy the courtyard.

He then added, "Apart from this matter, I have had no dealings with them."

"that's all?"

Peng Shiyu couldn't believe it, her voice filled with anger, "They really went too far."

"No wonder they say that Sister Jingyu is two-faced."

Liu Xiuying was furious. "Everyone has been deceived by Sister Jingyu. Sister Jingyu is all talk and no action. In reality, she is greedy and despicable."

She told us all to see through Sister Jingyu's true colors and not to be fooled by her anymore.

Many of the newly arrived educated youth believed her, even when we said that Sister Jingyu wasn't that kind of person.

"Ignore them."

Lin Jingyu shook her head indifferently, "Time reveals all. Everyone in the village knows what kind of person I am."

As for the character of the newly arrived educated youth, no one knows yet.

I simply don't believe that everyone likes that woman just because she acts so superior.

“Sister Jingyu, it’s really hateful that she’s ruining your reputation like this.”

Peng Shiyu was still furious. "Why should we sell the courtyard to her just because she wants to buy Grandpa Zhang's? This person must be out of her mind."
