Chapter 25 025 Miao Feifei's Scheme Fails

While the educated youth were still eating breakfast, Qin Xiaoxiao, wearing a large straw hat, carrying a water bottle and a satchel, came out of the house and walked across the front yard, attracting the attention of the other educated youth.

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded politely at them, then left the educated youth compound without looking back.

"Tsk, is she here to go to the countryside or to enjoy a life of luxury? She's even wearing a straw hat; she's quite well-prepared."

The old educated youth Liu Lihua couldn't hide her jealousy and glared hatefully at Qin Xiaoxiao's back.

Su Yun and Su Xue frowned slightly upon hearing this, exchanged a glance, and then buried themselves in their food.

There are too many monsters and freaks in this educated youth settlement. They don't know how long they'll have to stay here, and their future days are going to be tough.

Especially regarding meals, why do we have to eat together? Can't we just cook for ourselves?

The two sisters were indeed of the same mind; after exchanging another glance, they had an idea.

Su Yun: We'll talk outside in a bit.

Su Xue: Okay.

While no one noticed the commotion on one side, Miao Feifei, with a quick glance, leaned close to Liu Lihua and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao has been pampered for so many years and never does any work at home. It's quite unexpected for us old neighbors that she's even here in the countryside. We shouldn't count on her to do any work."

"Sister Lihua, did you see her outfit? It should be new. We've always been good friends, but I've never seen her wear that before."

Liu Lihua was shocked. "Wearing new clothes to work in the fields? Is she a capitalist's pampered daughter?"

Miao Feifei laughed and said, "How could that be? Don't say that. Isn't she the brigade leader's niece? Her family is rich."

Liu Lihua stopped talking and lowered her head to eat.

Miao Feifei was waiting for Liu Lihua to continue so she could spread the word about Qin Xiaoxiao's wealthy family, but Liu Lihua suddenly stopped talking, leaving her no choice but to continue.

Miao Feifei stared at Liu Lihua with wide eyes, but Liu Lihua didn't even glance at her. Miao Feifei was so angry that she cursed Liu Lihua inwardly for being useless and a complete coward.

Liu Lihua dared not offend Qin Feng. She had been working in the countryside for more than a year or two and knew Qin Feng and the Qin family's status in Qinjiagou. She wouldn't say that Qin Feng was a local tyrant, but he was practically the one who had the final say. No one in the village disagreed with what he said. If she dared to speak ill of Qin Feng behind his back and let the villagers know, she would have a hard time in the future.

When she was at home, some of her classmates and sisters went to the countryside. Through letters and correspondence, she knew that life in other places was not as good as in Qinjiagou. Here, as long as you are willing to work hard, you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, and if you do well, you can even get a share of money at the end of the year.

Whether it's food or money, it's the lifeblood of people; who would be willing to give it up?

The key is that Qinjiagou is much more peaceful than the outside world. There are some hooligans in the village, but under Qin Feng's pressure, none of them dare to lay a hand on the educated youth. At most, they might get the upper hand verbally. If they really dare to cause any trouble, Qin Feng will really go all out!

When she first arrived, she had heard that a local hoodlum had taken a liking to a female educated youth, but she refused. So, the hoodlum forced himself on her, and Qin Feng ended up sending her to eat peanuts. The female educated youth did return to the city, but the outcome was unlikely to be good.

There were also widows who cheated on their husbands, and Qin Feng sent them to the farm. Male educated youths who were flirting with girls in the village and wouldn't give a straight answer were sent back to the county educated youth office by Qin Feng. As for the consequences, well, you can imagine for yourself.

Don't even think about slacking off here. Captain Qin doesn't care who you are. If you don't finish the work assigned to you, he really won't give you any grain. If you don't have enough money or work points, you can borrow some, but if you can't pay it back the following year, he'll write "lazy" and "disobedient" on your evaluation. You'd better be prepared to go to the farm for reform through labor.

Therefore, in Qinjiagou, you can't afford to offend Qin Feng, because he wields immense power.

Liu Lihua didn't respond, and Miao Feifei couldn't continue either, but some of the male educated youths had their own ideas.

Although Miao Feifei didn't finish her sentence, everyone understood what she meant.

Qin Xiaoxiao is rich and powerful here. If you want a better life, you have to curry favor with her. Ideally, you should marry her. Then you won't have to work in the fields anymore, or at least you'll have an easier job.

With returning to the city a distant prospect, settling down here is a good idea.

Jin Chuan glanced at Miao Feifei, then at Liu Lihua, and sneered inwardly. When she looked down again, her eyes were full of disdain.

The food was terrible, there wasn't a single grain of rice, and we still had to work in the fields. We also had to hang out with a bunch of scheming female educated youths who were as cunning as a beehive. When would this kind of life ever end?

Qin Xiaoxiao was the first educated youth from the educated youth compound to arrive at the village committee compound. Along the way, she encountered many villagers, almost all of whom knew her. Anyone with the surnames Qin, Su, or Luo greeted her warmly, and even those with different surnames looked at her kindly.

Qin Xiaoxiao greeted everyone with a smile, but when she arrived at the village committee, her face almost froze from smiling.

Rubbing her cheeks and smiling again, Qin Xiaoxiao slowly entered the village committee compound.

Qin Feng, Luo Hongxing, and Su Zhiyuan were already waiting at the entrance of the village committee. When they saw Qin Xiaoxiao arrive, all three of them smiled.

Qin Feng waved to Qin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao is here, come here, come to grandpa."

Qin Xiaoxiao quickly walked up to Qin Feng and said, "Good morning, Grandpa, Grandpa Su, Grandpa Luo."

Su Zhiyuan and Luo Hongxing looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with affection, "Good, good, Xiaoxiao is so polite, she greets us as soon as she comes up."

"This child is still the same as before, not only is he good-looking, but he also greets everyone he meets."

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled, but inside she was busy buying things.

The original owner was someone who couldn't utter a single word even if you hit him with a stick. When did he start talking to everyone he met?

Every time the original owner returned to the village, she would keep her head down and not say a word. If you said a word to her, she would run away five meters away.

“Xiao Xiao looks thinner. Lao Qin, there are two pieces of cured meat at home. Go back and get them for Xiao Xiao so she can have some good nutrition.”

Su Zhiyuan felt a pang of heartache looking at Qin Xiaoxiao's thin and frail body, and the thought of the deceased Qin Min made his heart ache even more.

Su Zhiyuan is a year younger than Qin Feng and the same age as Qin Hai. When they were little, Qin Feng always played with them. After Qin Min was born, the boys were close to Qin Feng and Qin Hai, so they treated Qin Min like their own younger brother. They always thought of him when there was something good to eat. Now that his brother is gone, he is heartbroken!

Luo Hongxing looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a smile, "That's right, you seem to have lost four or five pounds. Xiaoxiao, how are you feeling now? You must have suffered a lot these days. Don't worry, you'll have your grandpa here. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll have your grandma make it for you."

Luo Hongxing was the strategist among this group of old friends, and also the most soft-hearted. When he saw Qin Xiaoxiao so thin that she was almost skin and bones, his eyes turned red with heartache.

Even though she's not his biological daughter, Qin Min's child is still his own child, there's no difference.
