Dumplings, meat patties...

Su Yuhe has delivered lunch for several days in a row, and Jiang Lin has gotten used to it.

Every time she brought it over, the two of them would sit under a tree and eat. Su Yuhe would usually talk, and Jiang Lin would occasionally respond. After eating, he would roll up his sleeves and go to work in the fields.

Su Yuhe leaned against a tree to enjoy the breeze. The two of them were busy with their own things and didn't notice the prying eyes from the side.

Somehow the rumor that Su Yuhe was having a secret meeting with several men in a cornfield got out in the commune. By the time Su Yuhe found out, it had spread all over the commune, and all sorts of unpleasant things were said.

Just say it, but don't dance in front of her.

If she knew who was gossiping about me, she would tear the root of the problem to pieces. And whoever spread the rumor, I would give him a good beating once she found him out!

As usual, Jiang Lin finished his work and left before others started work. Su Yuhe sat under a tree and waited for others to come, then took the hoe and pretended to work.

Xu Yun came over and said, "Su Zhiqing is young after all. He doesn't even need a break at noon and works in the sun."

Su Yuhe smiled and said, "Today is the big market. I'll take advantage of this opportunity to finish my work and then go to the county supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."

"Those who knew her thought she was going to the market, but those who didn't thought she was going to have a secret meeting with a man."

Su Yuhe felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this and looked at the person who spoke: "Aunt Guihua, what are you talking about!"

Aunt Guihua curled her lips and said, "It was just a casual remark. Why are you so anxious?"

"Your daughter ran away to the mountains with a man. You should go back and take good care of her. Don't let her become a grandmother before she gets married."

Wang Guihua glared, holding the shovel in one hand and her other hand on her waist, and shouted at Su Yuhe: "What nonsense are you talking about! Dare to ruin my daughter's reputation? Believe it or not, I will fight you!"

Su Yuhe returned her words: "I just said it casually, why are you so anxious?"

Of course Wang Guihua was anxious, as everyone was working in the same place. What if those gossipers spread the news and ruined her reputation?

If Su Yuhe's reputation is ruined, she can return to the city and remarry, but if Wang Guihua's daughter has a bad reputation in the village, it will be difficult for her to get married.

But Su Yuhe was obviously talking back at him. Wang Guihua was so angry that she didn't know what she was thinking and said directly, "You don't rest at the educated youth camp at noon every day. It's obvious that you run out to hang out with men. Bah, you look like a vixen. You sleep with men and let them do the work for you! Don't let the crops grow before you get pregnant with someone else's child!"

These words were so harsh that Su Yuhe didn't want to tolerate them at all. She rushed over and slapped her twice: "If you can't speak, you can just pretend to be mute!"

Wang Guihua didn't expect that she dared to attack in front of so many people. She was stunned by the two slaps.

"Ahhh! How dare you hit me!" Wang Guihua was half a head shorter than Su Yuhe. She worked in the fields all year round. She was big and strong, and had a sharp tongue. She talked a lot in the village, and few people in the village could scold her more than her. This was the first time she was beaten.

She reacted quickly, rolled up her sleeves, spat on her hands, and rushed towards Su Yuhe, shouting, "I'm going to fight you!"

She was strong and pushed Su Yuhe down and pulled her hair. It was also Su Yuhe's first time to fight with someone, but she didn't just stand there to get beaten. She pinched Wang Guihua's thigh and waited for her to let go because of the pain. Then Su Yuhe pulled her hair and turned over to press on Wang Guihua and slapped her a few more times.

Few people around dared to stop them. Xu Yun and Su Yuhe had a good relationship, so they came over and pulled Wang Guihua back, taking a few hits.

There was quite a commotion here, and the village party secretary and the production team leader came over.

When the village party secretary Jiang Jianguo saw that the educated youth and the members of the commune were fighting, he was shocked.

He yelled, "Stop, stop!" and quickly ordered people to separate them.

After finally separating, Jiang Jianguo looked at the two men with messy hair and clothes covered in weeds and mud. He was furious: "What are you fighting for? What are you doing?! If you have all that energy, you might as well be turning the soil! What the hell is going on?"

Wang Guihua was used to being naughty. She sat down on the ground and started crying: "The one surnamed Su was the first to hit me! She hit me!"

The wicked are the first to complain!

Su Yuhe was told about it in her previous life, and she was furious when she heard it in this life. It was said in front of her, and if she didn't react, she would only become more rampant in the future.

She didn't regret taking action today at all. She just wanted to make an example of him. Whoever dared to speak nonsense again would have to think carefully about what to do with him.

She stood straight, not feeling guilty under everyone's gaze: "She was the first to say something mean. She said I slept with a man. I'm a virgin, and I came to the countryside to build the motherland, not to be gossiped about by gossipers!"

Anyone else would be too embarrassed to repeat Wang Guihua's words, but Su Yuhe had lived many years and didn't have so many concerns.

It is normal for country people to gossip, but if they actually go to the person concerned and gossip, that is considered shameless.

Xu Yun stepped forward and said, "I can testify that it was Aunt Guihua who first spoke ill of Su Zhiqing."

No one spoke up for Wang Guihua, which meant that she did say those words.

Such words can destroy an unmarried girl's innocence.

Someone nearby also chimed in, "She deserves it. Su Zhiqing is a nice girl, and she must be unhappy to be spoken of this way."

"Yeah, if someone says something about my daughter, I'll fight her to the death."

......

No wonder Su Yuhe was excited.

Jiang Jianguo, the Party Secretary of Dajiang Village, was utterly embarrassed. "Wang Guihua, what are you trying to do? You're just gossiping all the time, and now you're slandering the educated youth! Jiang Dewu, get over here and take care of your wife!"

Jiang Dewu was also embarrassed. He had been hiding behind others, but was pulled out. He was very angry and had to vent his anger on Wang Guihua. He walked over, pulled Wang Guihua up and slapped her: "I told you that your mouth would cause trouble sooner or later!"

"Why are you hitting a woman?" Jiang Dali, the production team leader, couldn't stand it any longer. "If you have something to say, talk it over. If you're wrong, ask your wife to apologize to Su Zhiqing."

"I won't apologize. Why should I apologize?" Wang Guihua's face was swollen, and she refused to give in. "Didn't she also say that about my daughter? It's even now."

Jiang Dewu raised his hand and asked Wang Guihua to apologize.

Wang Guihua glared at him, "Wang Dewu, I've given you face, haven't I? You hit me just now, and now you want to hit me too?" She started crying again, "I gave birth to several sons for your Jiang family, working from dawn to dusk in the fields, and you dare to hit me! Hit me if you want, or I'll take the kids back to my parents' home tomorrow!"

The couple started arguing. No wonder Wang Guihua was so aggressive and couldn't even control her own man.

"You should apologize. You were the one who started it in the first place." Someone said this, and others echoed him.

Under pressure, Wang Guihua apologized to Su Yuhe, but her apology did not seem sincere.

Su Yuhe didn't care about this. She asked, "Who told you all this? How did you know I wasn't in the educated youth dormitory at noon?"
