Wang Huilian immediately dropped the rag in her hand, jumped off the kang and ran straight to the east room.
"Dad, I think that little girl is going to run away!"
Wang Huilian repeated what Hu Lili had just said like a machine gun. Although her words sounded normal, Wang Huilian just felt that this little girl was going to leave.
After hearing this, Old Man Shen stopped lying on the kang and immediately got up to put on his shoes and went after Hu Lili.
The others wanted to follow, but Old Man Shen stopped them: "I can go alone. If we go with a large group, people will think we are bandits."
After saying this, Old Man Shen walked out of the house. Not seeing anyone, he ran towards the door again. Sure enough, he saw Hu Lili jogging on the road.
He followed without saying a word.
Hu Lili ran around the village relying on her memory.
Fortunately, the road from the village chief's house to the Shen family was in a straight line, otherwise, the houses in this rural area all looked the same to her, and she would have gotten lost.
Old Man Shen wanted to call her from behind, but he was afraid of attracting other people out, so he had to follow her.
Anyway, it is impossible for this educated youth to run away from the village.
It would have been even better if she had just run out of the village!
Then the Shen family could embezzle her food rations openly.
It was not until he saw her hesitantly enter the village chief's house that Old Man Shen hurried to Liu Changshan's house.
He was afraid that if Hu Lili made a fuss, the village chief would really change her husband. Wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?
As soon as Hu Lili entered Liu Changshan's yard, she began to greet him: "Village Chief? Village Chief?"
Liu Changshan's old wife heard the noise and came out, and saw a beautiful girl standing in the yard looking towards the door.
She had never seen Hu Lili's face before, and she stood there in a daze for a moment, wondering where this girl came from.
Old wife Liu Changshan asked, "Who... who are you? What do you want from me, the master?"
At this time, Old Man Shen also arrived at Liu Changshan's house. Hearing this, he quickly responded to her: "This is the educated youth living in our house. Her name is Hu Lili. Look at yourself. You don't recognize her, right? Haha!"
Liu Changshan's wife immediately put on a smile and said, "Oh, it's the educated youth! Look at me with my dim eyes. Such a pretty girl has never been seen in our village. She must be a new educated youth!"
"Well, what are you two here for?"
Liu Changshan's wife looked at the two people who came in one after the other, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what they were doing!
Just as Hu Lili was about to speak, Old Man Shen spoke first: "Nothing, nothing, it's just that the educated youth girl wants to go out for a walk."
Seeing that Old Man Shen seemed to be speaking for her, Hu Lili hurried into the house, and said in a somewhat impolite tone: "I have something to ask the village chief."
Liu Changshan's wife watched the little girl angrily enter the house, and looked at Old Man Shen in confusion.
Old man Shen showed a helpless expression and sighed: "You think our conditions are not good, sister-in-law, you don't know that in order to entertain this educated youth, our family cleaned and cleaned the house, but it still didn't get any good results."
"This kid from the city is so hard to take care of, ah!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu Changshan felt a little unhappy.
It's not just because of what Old Man Shen said, but also because Liu Changshan has been running around for these educated youth, and this girl is still picky.
"Okay, come in quickly. It's cold outside. Let Changshan talk to her later. This is not their city. If you want good conditions, then don't come in the first place. It's not like we begged her to come."
Liu Changshan's wife let Old Man Shen into the house. As soon as they entered, the two heard Hu Lili complaining about the poor financial conditions of the Shen family.
The house was dirty and smelly, Shen Siyue occupied the house alone, and she also chopped people. In short, Hu Lili just wanted to change her family and she didn't want to live in the Shen family.
Liu Changshan was also a little troubled. He had not planned to choose the Shen family at the beginning, thinking that the Shen family had too many things to do. But now everything has been arranged, and it would be troublesome to find someone again.
And judging from Hu Lili's tone, I'm afraid that even if she were asked to choose from the entire village, she wouldn't be able to find anything that would satisfy her.
Seeing that Hu Lili said she was worthless, Old Man Shen also acted pitifully: "You girl really don't know how to be grateful at all."
"In order to make your stay comfortable, my three sons all sleep separately from my wife, just to make it more convenient for you."
"Just now, because you were disgusted, I moved my old woman to the east room and gave you the west room. What else do you want?"
After hearing what Old Man Shen said, Mrs. Liu Changshan, who was about the same age as Old Lady Wang, felt very uncomfortable.
"Girl, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's the same in our countryside. Do you think other families have better conditions? In fact, every family is the same. If you live in another family, you might have to sleep on the same kang with both men and women."
This is a very common thing in rural areas.
Many families have only one sleeping room, where everyone, young or old, male or female, sleeps together.
The Shen family was quite sincere in separating the boys and girls for the sake of this educated youth.
But what does Hu Lili think this means?
She came here to support national construction, so the village chief should provide her with accommodation.
Hu Lili looked around Liu Changshan's house and said, "I think your house is pretty good. How about I live in your house?"
At that moment, Old Man Shen was not happy: "If you think the village chief's family is good, why didn't you choose me in the first place?"
"Now that I've been chosen and my things have been moved over, but now I'm not living there anymore, where can I put my face?"
"Why don't we call everyone here and let the villagers judge for us and see how our family has treated you unfairly to make you suffer like this?"
At this point, Old Man Shen complained to Liu Changshan, "At this very moment, my eldest and second daughters-in-law are still cleaning the house for her! If you don't believe me, ask her if she is right?"
"This guy, if you know she came here to help us with the work, you would think she is the eldest daughter of a capitalist coming to inspect us."
Hu Lili didn't care at all about what Old Man Shen said before, but the last sentence made her jump up immediately.
"What are you talking about? Who is the capitalist's daughter? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you!"
Her father worked in a government department, so he knew that if she was ever labeled as a capitalist daughter, not only would she be implicated, but her family members far away in Shen City would also be implicated.
Seeing the two people yelling at each other, Liu Changshan said, "Hu Zhiqing, the conditions here are like this, it doesn't matter which family you go to."
"It's not that I don't want you to live at home, but there are so many people in my family that I can't make room for you!"
"Just make do with it. I'll prepare a new house for you after the New Year!"
Old man Shen didn't expect that Liu Changshan would stand on his side this time, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Hu Lili looked at the expressions on the two old men's faces and knew that this was someone else's territory. She was a newcomer and outnumbered. Although she was still unwilling in her heart, she had to bow her head when she was under someone's eaves.
