Seeing that the people around her had already formed their own ideas, Tang Liping made up her mind.

Life in the countryside is unbearable.

Su Meifang said that as long as Su Qingci stayed in the countryside, she would be allowed to join the North China Military Region.

She didn't do anything; she just started a conversation.

In the end, if anything really happens, it has nothing to do with me.

Thinking of this, a smug smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

A fulfilling military career is beckoning her.

Tang Liping, caught up in the excitement, didn't notice anything amiss.

Not far behind her, someone was staring at her with a gloomy expression.

Shen Chuntao subconsciously reached into her pocket.

Then she remembered that she had put the brown sugar under her pillow today because she was afraid of getting it wet while working in the fields.

"Tang Liping, ha~"

"You're asking for death!"

That afternoon, Su Qingci keenly noticed that the men appearing around her had become more frequent.

And he looked at her with that disgusting, or picky look.

They either looked at each other with burning desire or scrutinized each other with a critical eye.

She wasn't really stupid; she quickly realized something was wrong.

“Su, I found some bird eggs in the field. Here you go.”

"Su, I have some academic questions. Can I ask you for help privately after work?"

“Su Zhiqing, I have a poem I want to recite to you.”

"Su Zhiqing, are you tired? Let me help you."

........

Su Qingci's demeanor shifted from a perfunctory smile to a stiff one, and then to a dark expression.

Seeing that Su Qingci had chased away another young man who was asking her a question, Song Jingzhou quickly went over to her.

"They're eyeing your job."

"Be careful, don't fall into their trap."

"With your lazy, greedy, and demanding nature, you're going to be in big trouble once you step into someone's home."

"He'll be beaten three times a day, and he'll be worn down to death very quickly."

Song Jingzhou carefully observed the other person's expression.

"Being a wife in the countryside these days is not easy, especially being a mother-in-law; they can be very difficult to get along with."

"Even if you're going to look for someone, you should find someone who has no parents. Otherwise, with your personality, tsk tsk tsk, you'll probably die a horrible death."

"And another one, those few in front won't do."

"If we're going to pick someone, we have to pick someone tall and good-looking."

"That Chunsheng is as short as a winter melon, so his children will also be like winter melons."

"We have to think about the next generation. Society is progressing. In the future, people will either judge others by their looks or their money!"

Song Jingzhou stylishly rubbed his head back from his forehead.

"So you have to be careful when choosing a partner, at the very least they have to be like me."

"And then there's Liu Jianshe. Look at him, with his hunched neck, upturned nose, and triangular eyes. You know that kind of man is a jinx to his wife, right?"

You need to stay away.

Su Qingci glanced at her sideways and said, "What are you picking and choosing? What the hell are you picking and choosing? I never intended to find anyone, okay?"

"I'm still a child."

"Anyone who harbors any wicked thoughts towards me, I'll castrate them."

Song Jingzhou subconsciously tightened his grip on the chrysanthemum.

"That's good, that's good. Haha, I was just worried that you'd be easily fooled because you're young, so I was just trying to give you a few friendly reminders."

Su Qingci looked up and sized up Song Jingzhou.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

Song Jingzhou touched his nose, raised his head, looked uneasy with his eyes darting around, and the tips of his ears slowly turned red.

Was the guidance just now too obvious?

"Bringing honor to your ancestors, how old are you?"

Song Jingzhou tensed up, his heart pounding.

"Me, uh-huh~ I'm just 20."

"What's wrong? Are you trying to use me as a shield?"

Su Qingci looked constipated.

"You're 20 already, it's time you found a wife. You also have a job, so why is everyone staring at me and not you?"

"Is this bullying?"

"Is this a case of picking the softest persimmon?"

Song Jingzhou let out a long sigh of relief. As the tension subsided, he also felt a little disappointed. Ren Daozhongyuan was indeed far away.

"Since you don't intend to date, then you should respond forcefully and leave no room for the other person to maneuver."

"Otherwise, people will think there's a chance, and everyone will rush in."

"In addition, you should also be wary of those with malicious intentions."

......

The farmer hoes the fields at midday; he's worked all morning, and there's still the afternoon to go.

After Su Qingci's sharp and stern attitude.

Sure enough, several of the men who had flocked around to fawn over her backed out.

But one of them, a man named Yu Zhengbao, became even more determined after each setback.

Even when he was beaten up while reciting poetry in front of Su Qingci, he showed no intention of backing down.

Through Song Jingzhou's introduction, Su Qingci also learned that he was one of the village's few scoundrels.

He has three older sisters and two older brothers. He is the youngest son and his parents' child born in their old age.

He's always been pampered and spoiled, and now that he's in his mid-twenties, he's always up to no good.

Even now, when forced to work in the fields during the harvest rush, she's just putting on an act in front of her two older brothers.

In Granny Yu's mind, this youngest son was quick-witted and would have a bright future.

This time, listening to Tang Liping's seemingly casual guidance, I immediately knew that the opportunity had come.

She immediately went home and pulled Yu Zhengbao into the house. The two of them chatted for a while before coming out.

Yu Zhengbao stuck to him like a lump of chewing gum.

And he's always laughing and joking, the kind of person who won't leave even if you hit or scold him.

After all the rice was harvested, the last ray of sunlight went down.

Night quickly descended.

On her way home from work, Su Qingci walked briskly toward the educated youth settlement.
