During the dog days of summer, the sun is high overhead, making it hard to breathe.

Tian Lingling rolled up her trouser legs, wore a straw hat, and bent over to pull out dead weeds in the rice field. Sweat fell like beads from a broken string, one by one, on the rice seedlings.

It turns out that what the book says, 'Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work' is true.

The ancients were not deceiving her.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and just pulled out a weed when she heard a scream.

"Tian Zhiqing, you're pulling out seedlings!"

Tian Lingling took a closer look and realized she had indeed pulled out the wrong seedling. She quickly planted the seedling back and said, "I'm sorry, the seedling and the weed look too much like each other. I was mistaken."

"They won't survive if we plant them back. How much grain will be lost?" Liu Qingju called Zhou Yunxia over. "She pulled the wrong seedlings. Deduct her work points."

Zhou Yunxia wrote it down. As for how many work points to deduct, it was up to the team leader to decide. She had no say in that.

Tian Lingling was angry and annoyed, but she did something wrong and didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Qingju looked disgusted and said, "You city people, you don't know the difference between grains and you don't work hard, I really don't know what the use of you is."

Tian Lingling endured it, thinking of her plan, and said flatteringly: "Auntie, I just arrived and I'm not familiar with the village. Can you tell me about the situation of our team?"

"My mouth is bitter and I don't want to talk. I wish I had a piece of candy to sweeten my mouth." Liu Qingju asked for something clearly.

She always likes to take advantage of others. How could she do something that has no benefit?

Tian Lingling reluctantly took out a White Rabbit from her pocket and said, "Aunt, you hold the sweet mouth."

Liu Qingju grabbed it and peeled it quickly. It was too hot and the sugar had melted a little, but she didn't care. She put it in her mouth and the rich milky aroma immediately melted between her teeth. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

Tian Lingling swallowed her saliva. This was her last candy. She was reluctant to eat it and had kept it. She didn't expect it to end up in someone else's mouth.

I feel so sad and angry.

But when I thought about the fact that I had achieved my goal and didn’t get anything good, I felt balanced.

She smiled and asked, "Aunt, can you tell me now?"

Liu Qingju bent down and continued working, saying slowly, "Our village..."

After listening to her, Tian Lingling roughly understood the situation in the village and took the weeds from her hand. "Auntie, your son hasn't married yet. You are so kind. Whoever becomes your daughter-in-law will be blessed."

Liu Qingju smiled happily, "Oh, Tian Zhiqing, I didn't expect you to be so sweet-talking even though you can't do your job well. I mean, if anyone marries into my family, they must have accumulated virtue for three lifetimes. My son is a handsome man, no one in the surrounding area can compare to him..."

She kept talking loudly, and Tian Lingling rolled her eyes to the sky.

She had seen Liu Qingju's son before. He was as thin as a bamboo pole. How could such a person be so handsome and unmatched in the surrounding area?

I really don't know where she gets such confidence from?

Also, with Liu Qingju's character, anyone who marries into her family will be tortured to death. She must have accumulated virtue for three lifetimes to be able to marry into her family. She must have committed sins for three lifetimes and is being punished in this life to be able to marry into her family and become her daughter-in-law, right?

cut!

Liu Qingju had no idea that she and her son were being disliked, and she was still bragging about herself. As she spoke, she somehow ended up talking about her nephew Xu Dading.

"If it weren't for that damned Li Zhiqing, would my niece have gone crazy? She caused a huge falling out between my husband and his brother, and now our two families have no ties with each other. It's all the fault of that bitch Li Muqing. She deserved to die!"

Whenever Liu Qingju thought of this, she would scold Li Muqing. If her body was still there, she would want to dig it out and whip it.

"I heard that your nephew was killed by your niece..." Tian Lingling had heard about this and found it quite scary.

"So what? That kid Da Ding cheated on my Qingcao behind her back, he deserves it."

Anyway, my niece is not wrong, it is Li Muqing and Xu Dading who are wrong.

Tian Lingling agreed with a few words and said nothing more.

Liu Qingju started talking and chattered non-stop, and Tian Lingling was almost annoyed to death.

But the gains were also great, and she already had a candidate in mind.

In the evening, Huang Xinrui rode her bicycle back to the educated youth site, immediately attracting the attention of the educated youth.

"Huang Zhiqing, did you buy a new bicycle?" Zhou Yunxia asked in surprise.

Huang Xinrui smiled and glanced at Wang Jiaxing beside her. "Yes, my husband Wang was afraid that I would get tired walking to the commune, so he bought me a bicycle."

"Wow! Wang Zhiqing is so nice." Zhou Yunxia looked envious.

Huang Xinrui leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Isn't your comrade Chen Yu good?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he is not mine." Zhou Yunxia said angrily with a red face.

Xue Min looked at the brand new Phoenix brand women's bicycle and said sarcastically, "It's not cheap, is it?"

"One hundred and seventy-five." Huang Xinrui said with a smile.

Xue Min glanced at Tian Lingling, whose face was as black as charcoal, and sneered, "Wang Zhiqing is really generous. He's willing to buy you such an expensive bicycle."

"Xinrui is my girlfriend, so of course I am willing to spend money on her." Wang Jiaxing said without any concealment.

Zhou Yunze and his sister applauded him, saying he was such a good man.

Xu Shanshan looked at Huang Xinrui with envy. She was pretty, capable, and had a partner who treated her so well. She was so lucky, unlike her...

Tian Lingling's nails were about to dig into her flesh. That bitch Huang Xinrui spent all her money. One hundred and seventy-five, so much money. The money originally belonged to her, but it was all spent by that bitch!

No, she can't wait any longer. If she delays any further, her money will be spent by this bitch.

After looking at the bicycles for a while, the crowd dispersed.

"Xinrui, you've been in classes all day and must have worked hard. I'll go cook. You go back to your room and rest." Wang Jiaxing squeezed her hand and went into the kitchen.

Huang Xinrui smiled and turned to go into the dormitory.

Zhou Yunxia and Xu Shanshan were making the beds. Xue Min had gone out and no one knew where she had gone.

Tian Lingling was in a daze. When she saw Huang Xinrui come in, her eyes flashed and she spoke, "I heard Aunt Qingju talk about a lot of things in the village today. Her son and her husband's nephew are not married yet. I heard they are looking for partners for them."

"Are they still looking for a partner?" Huang Xinrui sneered, "One is a gambler, and the other... you'd have to be blind to marry them."

"That's right." Zhou Yunxia also answered.

Xu Shanshan didn't say anything, glanced at Tian Lingling, and lowered her head.

"Aunt Qingju's family should be okay, right? No one is willing to marry her?" Tian Lingling asked casually.

Huang Xinrui looked disdainful. "Her family is the worst to marry into. Compared to the two families, Xu Dading's family is not as good as hers. At least Xu Dading's parents are nice people. Liu Qingcao didn't have children for three years, but her parents-in-law didn't treat her harshly. If it was Liu Qingju's family, I don't know what would have happened to her."

"Sister Xinrui, don't talk about them. I'm already in a bad mood." Zhou Yunxia took her hand. "The meal isn't ready yet. Let's go talk to Doctor Li."

"Okay, I happen to miss Yueyue too."

"Sister Shanshan, are you going?" Zhou Yunxia asked.

Xu Shanshan shook her head.

The two of them walked out hand in hand.

There was a hint of viciousness in Tian Lingling's eyes. She originally wanted to choose Xu Dading, but since you hate Liu Qingju so much, then let's choose her family!
