Chapter 48 Casual Gossip

Since arriving here, Shen Mu Ning has never cultivated through the night again.

Although when she cultivates her mental power, she doesn't feel sleepy even if she doesn't sleep for several days.

But even in this relaxed environment, she still got used to sleeping four or five hours a day to relieve her fatigue.

However, after checking the novel's plot last night, Shen Mu Ning discovered that Wang Cheng had disappeared in both his previous lives.

Moreover, if Cao Jin returns to the village, he might try to pursue her, just like in the novel.

There was even an unknown figure who could escape from her mental power, all of which excited Shen Mu Ning.

Since being sent to the countryside, she has demonstrated her abilities to the other educated youth, which has helped them to put aside their different thoughts and get along harmoniously.

Later, because of her diligence and competence, she was praised by most people in the brigade, and she hadn't had a chance to watch a play for a long time.

Life after being sent to the countryside was like a stagnant pool, with every day being exactly the same.

But with these people around, things were different; they finally added some fun to my boring life.

Shen Mu Ning was in a good mood and started another day of work.

"Hello, Aunt Guihua, good morning, Aunt Hongmei." Shen Muling greeted the two aunts upon seeing Li Guihua and Liu Hongmei.

"Oh my, our little educated youth Shen is here early again today."

Li Guihua was delighted to see Shen Mu Ning. Who wouldn't like such a fair-skinned, tender, and well-behaved girl?

"Hehe, I'm pretty fast." Shen Mu Ning smiled shyly.

"It's so good to be young, full of energy. We're all getting old," Li Guihua said with a sigh as she looked at the young Shen Mu Ning.

Shen Mu Ning dug out the potato, threw it into her basket, and then seriously responded to Li Guihua.

“Aunt Guihua, with your body that carries a full load of work points every day, how could you possibly be old?”

To be honest, although most of the aunties of Li Guihua and Liu Hongmei's generation already have grandchildren.

However, they are all still quite young. It's just that people generally marry young, so they are only in their forties, yet they already have three generations living together.

Aunt Guihua and her ilk would be middle-aged women in modern times; they're really not old at all.

Liu Hongmei, who was standing nearby, started chatting with Li Guihua: "That's right, Guihua, if you say you're old, then I'll be halfway to the ground."

Although they are of the same generation, Liu Hongmei is four or five years older than Li Guihua.

Hearing Liu Hongmei compare herself to her, Li Guihua stopped dwelling on it.

“It’s my fault. I still have two sons who aren’t married yet. I’m not old, I’m not old.”

Li Guihua suddenly thought of her two unmarried sons and didn't want to admit that she was already old.

No matter what, I must arrange my sons' marriages and see their respective families thriving before I dare to call myself an old man.

"Yes, my youngest son is also a worry, he just can't find a girl he likes."

When this topic came up, the aunties around immediately agreed, saying that every family has a disobedient, unmarried younger relative.

"Yes, you know, it wouldn't be right for us to just arrange a marriage without considering our son's feelings."

"But when we let them see for themselves if there are any girls they like, they all say they haven't found anyone they like."

"Yes, we parents always hope that our children will settle down and have a happy family life soon."

Hearing the conversation of the women around her, Li Guihua suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Well, you're lucky. Your sons are all around you. Whenever they want to get married or have a girl they like, you can immediately ask a matchmaker to help you find a wife."

“You know, my second son joined the army and can only come back once a year. He can’t stay at home for long. I can’t even worry about his marriage.”

It turns out that Aunt Guihua's eldest son was already married and had a son named Gu Xiaohu. Now, her eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant again.

But my second son, since he joined the army five years ago, has only come home three times.

Every time I went home, I was in a rush and never got to meet any girls.

Seeing that her youngest son was old enough to be married, but his older brother was still unmarried, how could she find a wife for her youngest son first?

Thinking about this matter makes Li Guihua worried, and it's a worry that has no solution.

Upon hearing this, the women around sighed, recalling the situation of the brigade leader's family. The brigade leader's family was indeed in a difficult situation.

Seeing her worried best friend, Liu Hongmei offered a suggestion.

“Guihua, if you want to find a husband for your second son, there’s a perfect match right here.”

Liu Hongmei spoke quietly with Li Guihua, and also glanced at Shen Muning discreetly.

She knew that the reason she hadn't arranged a marriage for her second son, Gu Ning, was because she wanted to find him a cultured girl.

Otherwise, if the son and daughter-in-law have different views and no common language, they will eventually become a resentful couple.

When Li Guihua heard Liu Hongmei's words, her heart stirred. She hadn't thought about finding educated youth before because no one caught her eye.

But Shen Mu Ning is indeed a very good candidate now. She looks polite, sensible, hardworking and capable.

Shen Mu Ning was speechless to herself, blaming herself for having such good hearing; she had heard everything Aunt Hong Mei said.

She never considered marriage when she came here; in fact, she never had any intention of getting married before.

In this era where there is still inequality between men and women, she was even less inclined to get married.

If a woman marries into another family, she must continue the family line; if she cannot give birth to a son, it is always the woman's fault.

A wife must be diligent in managing the household and being filial to her parents, and cannot be disobedient in the slightest, otherwise she is considered unfilial.

If a man is unhappy about something, he might take it out on his wife. She must be complaining that their life isn't peaceful enough.

Although Shen Mu Ning wanted to listen to the aunties gossip, she didn't want to get involved herself.

Shen Mu Ning noticed that Li Guihua seemed somewhat tempted after hearing Liu Hongmei's words.

This made Shen Mu Ning both laugh and cry; was this really such a hasty decision?

No, she had to find a way to dissuade Aunt Guihua from going on blind dates. She didn't want to do anything as awkward as blind dates.

Before Shen Mu Ning could come up with a solution, someone delivered one right to her door.

After digging potatoes for a while, everyone tacitly walked to the edge of the field and sat down in the shade of a tree.

They did this every day: whenever they rested, they would find a shady spot, sit down, enjoy the breeze, and gossip together.

Shen Mu Ning sat down and had just taken out her military water bottle. Before she could even drink any water, an aunt came to propose marriage to her.

"Little Shen, were you engaged in the city before?" A smiling aunt squeezed in next to Shen Mu Ning and asked.

Huh? A question mark popped into Shen Mu Ning's mind. Why are so many people trying to set her up for marriage today?

Although Shen Mu Ning had no interest in marriage, she still replied politely, "I've never been engaged before, Auntie."
