"Oh, I exchanged them with the aunties in the team. You should go and exchange them too, so you don't go hungry in winter."

If the two of them had listened to advice and taken action, that would have been fine, but they are not the kind of people who do that.

After hearing Si Tian's words, Shi Qiang didn't move and continued to stand in front of her.

"No, Nana and I aren't familiar with the village. You have to take us there, otherwise we won't be able to find our way."

Si Tian was utterly speechless upon hearing these impolite words.

"Brother, you and Zhu Pandi aren't familiar with the village, how could Haohao and I be familiar with it? Didn't we arrive on the same day? If you're not familiar with it, why don't you ask? You always have to take you everywhere. Do you think we're that close?"

After she finished speaking, she tried to get around Shi Qiang and leave quickly, but wherever she went, Shi Qiang blocked her way.

"No, you have to take us with you. If you don't agree, I won't let you go!"

Zhu Qinghao was really annoyed by these two people, so she tried her best to adjust her emotions before walking over.

"Comrade Shi Qiang, your mouth isn't just for eating. If you don't know something, just ask. Don't bring everything up against us, okay? We're neither your parents nor do we owe you anything. We have no obligation to do these things."

Furthermore, there's a difference between men and women. It's inappropriate for you to block our way like this, especially with Comrade Zhu Pandi watching from the side!

Shi Qiang glanced at Zhu Pandi, then at his own position. He had been so focused on blocking people that he hadn't noticed how tightly he was blocking them. Even though Si Tian herself had taken a step back, it still looked very close.

So he quickly took two steps back, and Si Tian was finally freed and strode over to Zhu Qinghao's side.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Zhu Pandi, who was usually silent, suddenly spoke up.

"Comrade Zhu Qinghao, how could you say that about Brother Shi Qiang? He clearly didn't do anything, he just stood a little closer to Comrade Si Tian, ​​and you have to say that."

"Then can I say that you two women are also involved in something improper, since you're always following a man in and out?"

Zhu Qinghao turned her head in surprise upon hearing this.

"Zhu Pandi, do you want to hear what you're saying? Did I ever say that your brother Shi Qiang had an affair? I just said it wasn't appropriate for him to be blocking our way like that. How can you talk such nonsense?"

And what did you mean when you said we were going in and out with male colleagues? Which male colleague were we going in and out with?

Zhu Pandi looked at Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian with feigned concern, then at Wang Weiguo pulling the cart, her voice trembling with tears.

"I didn't, I didn't! You're just being guilty, and you two were with this guy... and you still won't admit it!"

Wang Weiguo, who had thought it was none of his business, was also surprised and looked up at her in disbelief.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

Zhu Pandi then put on an even more dramatic act, as if she was about to burst into tears.

"No... I didn't. I didn't say anything. You guys are just feeling guilty. Why are you yelling at me?"

As he spoke, he hid behind Shi Qiang, making it seem as if Wang Weiguo was about to hit him.

At this point, Shi Qiang also became tough, as if he had seized some huge handle against them.

"That's right, Nana is right. If you weren't guilty, why would you say that?"

Zhu Qinghao was so angry she laughed. This was the countryside, the place where these kinds of rumors and gossip were both the most and the least reliable.
