"Whose fault is this? It's all that family's fault for being so inhumane!"

At this point, the older women rolled their eyes. They looked down on that family from head to toe. They were ugly, extravagant, and single-handedly lowered the overall quality of the entire Malutun village.

When the three arrived, there were only two or three women carrying baskets sitting on the last oxcart.

"Gu, Qi, and Meng, are you all going to the county town too?"

Liu Ximei saw the three of them and waved with delight, gesturing for them to sit down next to her.

Gu Zuozuo and the other two didn't stand on ceremony, greeted her, and sat down next to her.

The others looked the three of them over for a while, their eyes filled with amazement.

"Ximei, are these the three capable educated youths you mentioned?"

Liu Ximei slapped her thigh and laughed so hard her eyes disappeared. "That's them!"

I originally thought I wouldn't get many work points because I had three burdens with me, but who knew I would become the burden myself! I followed Gu Zuozuo around and got full work points every day!

"Wow, I never would have guessed!"

These three educated youths were all incredibly beautiful and delicate, but when it came to work, they were all iron ladies. After the autumn harvest, everyone in Malutun knew that the three newly arrived educated youths were all outstanding.

"Gu Zhiqing, do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend yet?"

Gu Zuozuo was speechless. How come she couldn't escape this topic no matter where she went? The pressure to get married was truly everywhere.

"Auntie, my family has arranged a marriage for me since I was a child."

Gu Zuozuo lied without batting an eye, her eyes even more serious. If Meng Tian and the other person hadn't known her background, they would have almost believed her too.

"Oh? A marriage between children? That's such a pity. There are plenty of fine young men in our village."

As she spoke, the old woman turned her gaze to Meng Tianqi Meng, whose expression was strange, and asked, "What about these two girls?"

Meng Tian and the other woman's expressions changed slightly. They glanced at each other, and a certain unspoken understanding made their faces turn slightly bitter and their eyes dim.

“Auntie, our two families are engaged in an exchange marriage. She is my sister-in-law, and I am her sister-in-law.”

Hearing Meng Tian's slightly bitter words, the old woman's eyes widened. Do city people also engage in marriage swapping? No wonder these three girls get along so well.

"Then why did you go to the countryside?"

"There's no other way; each family has to send one person to the countryside. Both our families value boys, so it can only be us going..."

Gu Zuozuo lowered her head, suppressing the urge to burst into laughter, and listened to the two of them talking nonsense.

Where did they get brothers? It's more like the other way around. I wonder if Brother Qi knows that his reputation has been ruined. Not only did he get a wife, but he also inexplicably became his sister's brother.

The last three escaped from the oxcart under the sympathetic gazes of the older women and hurried toward the post office.

"Hahaha! They actually believed it?"

Gu Zuozuo helplessly poked their foreheads, wondering what kind of thought process these two had.

"You're just talking nonsense. Aren't you afraid of being exposed and embarrassed later?"

"It's alright. A little delay will calm things down, and things will be fine in the long run. It's better than being chased around by people trying to set you up with someone every day, right?"

Seeing their nonchalant attitude, Gu Zuozuo didn't say anything more, and the three of them went to the post office together.

"Sister Luo!"

Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Luo Jing looked up and saw three beautiful faces pressed against the glass. She was startled, but also burst out laughing.

"You're here? I was just saying I'd have Liangzi deliver it to you."

"It's alright, Sister Luo. We came to the county town to buy things for winter and just wanted to check if there were any packages for us."

"Yes, of course there are, there are quite a lot."

Because there were too many, Liangzi couldn't carry them all at once, so he planned to send the others away first and then send the three of them away last. But they came over on their own.
