"No."

Jiang Ye stretched out his big hand and took the pieces of White Rabbit milk candy from her delicate little hand.

Tear open the candy wrapper and put a piece in your mouth.

Mm, it’s really sweet.

She just went to the supply and marketing office to pretend and bought some White Rabbit milk candies. Li Miao also bought some. She didn't have to give any to me, Li Miao.

The three of them waited together beside the oxcart for the others to arrive.

Yu Qingqing finally waited until noon, when there were fewer people in the supply and marketing office, and then she went in. She wanted to buy some clothes to change into, but the salesperson thought her clothes were too dirty and wouldn't let her try them on. If she wore them, she had to buy them.

In the end, she bought a piece of bra that didn't fit her well because she felt she had a thin waist and chose a small size. When she put it on, it squeezed out the fat on her waist and made it a little difficult to breathe.

She bought some snacks from the supply and marketing store, looked at the furniture, and selected a large cabinet with a mirror, a wooden box, a shelf, and a washbasin rack.

She wanted a lot of large items, and although the supply and marketing department offered to deliver the items to her door, the delivery truck was not available at the moment and could only deliver them to her in the afternoon. So she left a deposit and went to the brigade first with the note issued by the supply and marketing department.

As soon as she went out, she threw away the smelly old clothes.

Before she reached the ox cart, she saw Xu Nuannuan and Li Miao waiting there from a distance, as well as Jiang Ye who was watching the ox cart.

She wore her newly bought blouse and thought she must be prettier than Xu Nuannuan. She didn't believe that Jiang Ye was not interested in her.

However, the fact is that he deliberately walked up to Jiang Ye, but Jiang Ye ignored her.

The women from the three villages had not arrived yet, so she could only wait.

Qingpingwan Brigade

Fu Yunqi and Chen Dalu had just walked a little up the mountain when they saw Jiang Yang and Mei Xiangcao pulling a saw to cut down trees.

The trees on the mountain are collective property, and after they cut them down, they have to pay a portion of the purchase price to the team.

Fu Yunqi saw Mei Xiangcao and quickly walked over to her. "Auntie, we meet again."

Mei Xiangcao heard the voice and turned her head, and saw Fu Yunqi and Chen Dalu coming together.

"You two young intellectuals don't have to go to work today, why don't you come up to the mountains and have some fun?"

Fu Yunqi smiled and said, "Those new educated youth have gone to the county to buy things. We two have no shortage of daily necessities. We have nothing to do at the educated youth camp, so we came out for a walk."

He watched Jiang Yang and Mei Xiangcao working hard to saw the wood. He had only seen the two of them yesterday, along with Jiang Ye and Jiang Ting, but had never seen the head of their family.

He then asked Mei Xiangcao, "Auntie, why haven't I seen Grandpa? Isn't Grandpa home?"

When he said this, Mei Xiangcao's face suddenly darkened, and then she laughed, "Who knows where he is, or whether he's dead or alive."

Jiang Yang's face turned pale as well. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything in the end.

Fu Yunqi immediately realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, and reached out to take the saw from Mei Xiangcao's hand. "Auntie, take a break, I'll help you."

Mei Xiangcao was embarrassed: "How can we do that? If you want to go around, go ahead. We can do it on our own."

"Auntie, don't be polite. We're just wandering around because we're bored, and we find it interesting to do something. Um, we're new here, so we don't know much about this place yet. Could you tell us about some of the people and things here?"

So, Fu Yunqi took over the job of sawing trees for Mei Xiangcao. Mei Xiangcao told him and Chen Dalu some things about the village.

Mei Xiangcao is a person who loves to join in the fun and gossip. Before she knew it, she started telling Fu Yunqi about all the messy gossip in the village. Fu Yunqi listened with great interest. He found that he was also a gossipy person, because he really liked listening to Mei Xiangcao telling him those gossips.

Before they knew it, he and Jiang Yang had already sawed through the roots of a tree as thick as a bowl.

After the tree is cut down, the branches need to be trimmed. First, the trunk is pulled down the mountain, and then a cart is pushed up to transport the branches away.

Fu Yunqi helped them transport the tree trunks down the mountain. As they walked, he asked Mei Xiangcao to tell him about the things in the village.

Mei Xiangcao was not tired of talking and kept on talking.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they were seen by two women working in the fields. Seeing Fu Yunqi helping the Jiang family with their work and Mei Xiangcao and Fu Yunqi walking so close, they guessed the relationship between Fu Yunqi and Mei Xiangcao.

These two women are both girls and daughters-in-law of the village. They are about the same age as Mei Xiangcao, but their ancestors were poor peasants. Mei Xiangcao's father was a big landlord. Xiangcao has been a rich lady since she was a child, with fine clothes and delicious food. She is a life that the other girls envy very much, and naturally they are jealous of her.

Later, the landlord was overthrown, Mr. Mei died from the torture, and the Mei family's son-in-law disappeared without a trace, leaving Mei Xiangcao with her three young children.

They took the opportunity to bully Mei Xiangcao for a while, but later Mei Xiangcao suddenly became powerful. She was like a madman. She would fight with anyone who dared to bully her and her children with a kitchen knife.

Later, her skills became more and more powerful, and she gradually became a bully in the village. Later, her children grew up and fought like her. In addition, they were strong and skilled, so not only did no one dare to bully them, but many villagers were even afraid of them.

The two people began to murmur because they were dissatisfied with Mei Xiangcao.

"Oh, you can't stand the loneliness of Mei Xiangcao. She's already old, but she's still hooking up with a pretty boy."

"Who told her that her husband hasn't come back for over ten years? Isn't it true that she's been missing him like crazy? The key is that that pretty boy fell for her trick."

"It's because he has a face like a foxy woman. Even at his age, he's still as coquettish as ever. Who knows what tricks he used to seduce her."

The two people here were whispering, but the people over there were too far away to know what was going on.
