Don't these old ladies love gossip?

It's annoying that they're already so gossipy after only one day here. They really are from the countryside; their manners are terrible.

Since they enjoy gossiping about others so much, wouldn't saying these things just give them something to talk about? Instead of gossiping about yourself, you should talk about Lin Xiaoxiao.

It would be best to ruin Lin Xiaoxiao's reputation.

“Lin, the educated youth, is capable and has money. Even so, he still does his own work.”

"That's right. If it weren't for her, when the wild boars came down, who knows how much crops would have been destroyed and how many people would have been injured."

"Lin Zhiqing can even catch wild boars, so catching pheasants and rabbits is not an easy task. That's her skill. She also often gives the children snacks. What a good person she is."

"Isn't it normal for others to eat the meat themselves? There are so many people in the village, and if we were to divide these things up, we wouldn't even have a chicken feather. Lin, the educated youth, is eating so well and is quite plump."

"She will definitely step in if anything happens in the village."

"You city kid are really scary. You come here and start calling people landlords and stuff. Who would dare to talk to you? You'd better leave now."

"We old women won't be able to argue with you later. You have money, so live however you want, but you're not qualified to compare with Lin Zhiqing."

Although the older women here love to gossip, they can tell from their expressions that this young woman has a problem with Lin, the educated youth.

Regardless of how Lin, the educated youth, lived, what's truly frightening is that this person who comes along and stirs up trouble. They may lack formal education, but they know that it's best to stay away from troublemakers.

Wan Qing was in a particularly bad mood when he realized that he had not achieved his goal and had been criticized by a few peasants from the countryside.

This was her first time living in such an environment, but she knew that some of the older women were very formidable, having honed their verbal skills for decades.

She's a young woman, and she can't win an argument with him.

Wan Qing could only drag Du Li away angrily.

Seeing that Wan Qing had offended so many people in just one day, Du Li was very worried that her life here would be difficult because of Wan Qing.

The two were completely isolated.

After the two women left, Da Niu's grandmother spat at Wan Qing's retreating figure.

"Pah, don't you even know what kind of person you are? You dare to compare yourself to Lin Zhiqing? You're shameless."

"You'd better keep quiet. Just because someone's family is well-off doesn't mean they have powerful connections. We shouldn't mess with them," the old lady tugged at Grandma Da Niu's sleeve, reminding her.

"Ha, who doesn't know how things are these days? Raising a daughter like that can't be all smooth sailing. Her family is powerful now, but who knows what their future holds..."

"Besides, she can be this good now that her parents are around. If her parents were gone, would her older brothers and sisters still spoil her like this?"

"I bet she'll cry eventually," Da Niu's grandmother said, unable to contain her anger.

"No, Lin Zhiqing is a capable girl, but she's also a wicked one. She's only just arrived and she's already caused so much trouble. I'm going to go home and have a good talk with her about what just happened."

After finishing her sentence, Da Niu's grandmother put away her things and walked towards Lin Xiaoxiao's yard.

......

In the town.

Han Qiushi first went to the brigade leader's house, sighed, and talked about building a house.

After leaving his luggage at the team leader's house, he borrowed a bicycle and went to town.

He first checked into a guesthouse.

Then he bought a ticket to take a shower. He had been on the train for almost five days and was starting to smell, but his face still looked clean. These days, everyone is like that, it's nothing.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao has a cleanliness obsession.

He had to look his best when he met Lin Xiaoxiao. After buying the ticket, he carefully cleaned himself up and even went to the barbershop to get a haircut.

I shaved off all the beard that had sprouted in the last few days.

Not to mention Lin Xiaoxiao would find it disgusting, even he himself found the smell on him disgusting.

When he arrived at the destination, he could have gone straight to Lin Xiaoxiao, since he didn't have much of an image to maintain when he first met her.

But when they met for the second time, he didn't want to appear in front of Lin Xiaoxiao looking disheveled again.

Han Qiu slept soundly at the guesthouse, and after resting up, he got up early the next morning to pick up his things from the post office. With his bags and packages, he set off for Wangjia Village.

He went to the team leader's house, gave him money to return the bicycle, and then went to the educated youth settlement.

On the way, some elderly people saw a new face, such a good-looking face, and carrying so many things. Everyone who passed by stared at Han Qiu.

Some curious older women even asked who Han Qiushi was and what he was doing there.

Han Qiushi said with a smile, "I am a newly arrived educated youth, sent to the countryside to build it up."

Upon hearing this, the older women all began to scrutinize Han Qiushi.

Look at this educated youth, he's tall and strong. Look at his arms carrying things, the muscles are bulging. And the things in his hands look like they weigh at least 70 or 80 pounds.

The young man carried it effortlessly and could even chat with them while smiling.

This guy is clearly different from the other educated youth; he'll definitely be energetic when it comes to work.

His family was relatively well-off; look at the clothes he was wearing—not a single patch was on them.

She was also very good-looking, which made many of the older women laugh out loud, and they were already making plans in their minds.

There was also an old lady who, in an attempt to get close to Han Qiushi, followed him around chatting and trying to get information out of him, asking him where he was from and why he had come to the countryside.

How many people are in your family? You brought so much stuff with you from the countryside; your parents must really love you.

One of the older women asked the question, and another older woman was unhappy because her daughter was of marriageable age.

My daughter is no worse than anyone else's, so as a mother, I can't fall behind others.

Han Qiushi: "......"

Han Qiushi would respond with a few words at the beginning.

Seeing three or four middle-aged women surrounding me, chattering away, made my head spin.
