Yu Yue hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing reluctantly.

Although she only went for half a day, Yu Yuehui was still very happy.

Picking alfalfa sprouts isn't just about gathering vegetables; it's a huge gossip session.

Alfalfa is planted on the mountain. A whole hillside, not small in size, is covered with alfalfa. Although the area is not small, quite a few people come to pick it!

At first, everyone was mining separately, but gradually people started to gather together.

With so many people together, it's inevitable that they'll gossip about this and that.

At first, it was just the aunties and grandmas either showing off or complaining and scolding their own children, but gradually everyone became dissatisfied with talking about these commonplace things.

The real gossip has officially begun.

All that could be heard was Aunt Wang lowering her voice and saying, "Do you know Wang Chunhe and his brother down there?"

She spoke very softly, but the people around her seemed to be summoned by something, and silently gathered around her.

Aunt Li, who was standing nearby, had a loud voice and said loudly, "Who doesn't know them! What's wrong?"

"What kind of trouble are those three causing now?"

Aunt Wang said mysteriously, "I'm telling you, but you have to keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else."

Aunt Li quickly nodded, "Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."

Those eavesdropping nearby nodded in agreement.

Aunt Wang: "I don't know who in their family is getting married!"

Aunt Li was shocked. "Who would be so foolish as to marry their daughter into that family?!"

Aunt Wang sighed, "Who can argue with that?"

"What's the point of marrying into their family?!"

"They can't even afford a small dowry!"

Aunt Li nodded and said, "Yes! Even those who sell their daughters wouldn't consider their family. Who would be so foolish as to jump into this fire pit?"

At this moment, someone next to them spoke up: "I know some."

The sudden sound startled Aunt Wang and Sister Li. When they turned around, they saw that it was Er Mazi's wife.

Aunt Wang said somewhat displeasedly, "Er Mazi's son, who are you trying to scare to death by staying silent like this?"

Er Mazi's wife smiled shyly, "Auntie, madam, don't you want to know who that wife is?"

Aunt Li rolled her eyes. "Stop being so mysterious, just tell me!"

Er Mazi's wife laughed and said, "I only heard about it! I can't guarantee it's true."

Aunt Wang became impatient and said, "It's nothing, just tell me."

Er Mazi's wife then said mysteriously, "It's said that this new bride is not only a virgin, but also a former educated youth!"

"What?!" Aunt Wang and Aunt Li exclaimed in unison.

Upon hearing the information revealed by Er Mazi's wife, Aunt Wang's eyes widened instantly, as if she had heard something incredible. She suddenly grabbed Er Mazi's wife's arm, her voice rising in surprise but deliberately lowering as if afraid of being overheard, "Is that educated youth so easily fooled?"

"Pah! No, wait, could that educated youth be that blind?"

Although that's what she said, she immediately started making her own plans.

Her good-for-nothing youngest son is still unmarried. Since this educated youth can take a liking to Wang Chunhe's brother, her own youngest son, who is not bad off, is certainly no match for him.

Although his youngest son is a bit of a rascal and loves to play, he also has many good qualities!

Isn't he handsome when he grows up? (Actually, he just doesn't do farm work, so he's a bit fair-skinned. After all, fair skin makes you look better.)

And he doesn't have the habit of hitting his wife! (Not sure though! After all, he doesn't even have a wife yet, so who knows if he hits her or not?)

Moreover, the most important thing is that this is her son's first marriage.

Never been married?

Thinking this, Aunt Wang's eyes instantly became more eager as she looked at Er Mazi's wife, her face filled with a flattering smile, and her attitude towards Er Mazi's wife suddenly became much warmer.

Er Mazi's wife was startled by Wang Da Niang's sudden enthusiasm, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Under Aunt Wang's intense gaze, she felt a little uneasy and hurriedly told her everything she knew, "Er Mazi told me. All I know is that I'm going to marry an educated youth. I really don't know anything else."

After hearing this, Aunt Wang was somewhat disappointed. Seeing that she couldn't get any more useful information, she pulled Aunt Li away to another place.

Those eavesdropping nearby also started guessing games.

The people who had been huddled together, eavesdropping, slowly began to disperse, walking away in twos and threes, pretending to be nonchalant, but then quietly starting to discuss, "Who do you think this educated youth is?"

"I guess they must have just arrived and don't know the situation yet."

"No, no, maybe it's someone trying to climb the social ladder."

"Pah! What do Wang Chun and his family have to offer them?"

There are plenty of men!

"Pah, you shameless bastard, you can say anything!" Then came bursts of cheerful laughter.

...Then various speculations arose one after another, but everyone deliberately kept their voices down.

At this moment, Zhang Linghui pulled Yu Yuehui a little further away. She was also completely bewildered. Thinking of what Aunt Wang had said earlier, she was so angry that she almost jumped up.

Although she was extremely busy every day during this period, she spent most of her time at the educated youth settlement and became very familiar with the girls there.

If any female educated youth had the intention of marrying Wang Chunhe's brother, how could she not know at all?

However, none of the people in the educated youth settlements have any such thoughts.

She was both angry and anxious, wishing she could immediately stand up and loudly refute the rumors so that these people would stop making wild guesses.

He replied to Yu Yue, "Sister Yueyue, don't listen to their nonsense, it's absolutely not true!"

At this moment, Yu Yuehui felt like she had a little rabbit inside her heart. She was extremely curious about this matter, and her eyes were sparkling with gossip.

Seeing Zhang Linghui's helpless and angry face, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, raise the corners of his mouth slightly, reveal a reassuring smile, and said softly, "Do you think the educated youth they're talking about might not actually be from our village?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Linghui's deflating expression instantly perked up, and her tone was full of certainty: "It's definitely not from our village!"

"There hasn't been a single word about this in the educated youth settlement recently."

"Besides, I didn't see any of the educated youth getting close to the villagers on a regular basis. Everyone was busy with their own things."

"This is absolutely fabricated by those people. Honestly, spreading such baseless rumors everywhere is just ruining the reputation of us educated youth for no reason!" As she spoke, her brows furrowed tightly, her face filled with anger, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"And what did Aunt Wang mean just now!" Zhang Linghui thought about Aunt Wang's behavior and got angrier and angrier, so she couldn't help but mutter again.
