"Isn't this Song Zhiqing? He asked for leave again today?" Aunt Yinghong, who has a round face but a pair of triangular eyes, said with a forced smile.
Song Yun expressed dissatisfaction with the word "again" from Aunt Guijianchou's mouth. "Aunt Yinghong, I went to work on the first day I arrived in Qinghe Village. I didn't take the two days of rest that were allocated to new educated youth. I never asked for extra leave, let alone delayed production work."
Aunt Yinghong knew all this, of course, but she couldn't help but want to say something sarcastic to Song Zhiqing, it was just her nature.
Another woman, Cuilian, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, laughed and said, "Who says it's not true? I've seen all the female educated youth at the educated youth site, and none of them can compare to Song Zhiqing. She's beautiful and speaks so kindly. Everyone who sees her can't help but praise her." The most important thing she didn't say was that Song Zhiqing was rich! Money can cover up all ugliness.
After Aunt Cuilian finished her praise, she immediately changed the subject, "Song Zhiqing is eighteen this year, right? I heard he graduated from high school?"
"Yeah." Song Yun responded lightly.
After getting a positive answer, Aunt Cuilian's eyes lit up even more. "You haven't found a partner yet? I'll introduce you to someone. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
When Song Zhiqing first came, everyone heard that there were no adults in her family and she had no choice but to bring her younger brother to the countryside. She looked so weak and fragile, so everyone thought that Song Zhiqing would have a hard time in the future. No matter how good-looking she was, no one dared to provoke her. If she did, she would have two burdens. Who could afford to support them?
But from what I've seen these days, Song Zhiqing is doing quite well. He's rented a large house and renovated it at great expense. I heard he's even sending his younger brother to school, so he's got plenty of spare cash. He's also a hard worker, not as spoiled as I'd imagined. If I marry her, I'll not only get her both money and a wife, but also a large house. As for that little burden, she's just fine as a regular, and she can help with the housework. She's simply the perfect daughter-in-law.
It’s true, many people in the village are thinking about this, but none of them are as shameless as Aunt Cui Lian, who started selling the product right away.
Aunt Cui Lian's eyes were full of calculations, and Song Yun was not blind, so how could she not see it? She sneered in her heart, but remained friendly on the surface, "I'm still young and have no plans to find a partner."
"Eighteen is not young anymore. My daughter got married at seventeen and had a baby at eighteen." He moved closer to Song Yun and said, "My son is twenty this year. He is handsome, hardworking and honest. You are a perfect match." He took over and grabbed Song Yun's hand. "I will kill a chicken tomorrow. You can come to my house for dinner. You two should get along well. There will be an auspicious day next month. Then we can-"
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Song Yun's face turned cold and she interrupted her, "Aunt Cui Lian, I respect your age and call you Aunt, but that doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. I'm not looking for a partner, and I won't date anyone. You'd better not spread unfounded gossip about me to ruin my reputation, otherwise I will definitely not let you off easily."
Song Ziyi's fists stiffened.
Aunt Cui Lian was upset by Song Yun's humiliation and was about to say something sarcastic when she saw two female educated youth coming over. They were none other than Zhao Xiaomei and a new female educated youth. The female educated youth was older than Zhao Xiaomei and her skin was not as fair and tender as hers. She must be an old educated youth who had suffered for two years.
When Zhao Xiaomei saw Song Yun sitting on the ox cart, her expression immediately became as ugly as if she had eaten a fly, but there was nothing she could do. There was only one ox cart, so she had to either sit there with her nose pinched or walk into the town with her legs spread out.
Zhao Xiaomei finally chose to hold her nose and get on the ox cart, and squeezed with the female educated youth to the side of the two ghost-seeing aunts.
Aunt Hongying and Aunt Cuilian immediately shifted their attention when they saw Zhao Xiaomei and the others. Aunt Hongying, stubborn as always, couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Zhiqing, aren't you going to work again today? Did you find some young man to help you with the work? Or did you take a day off?"
From the yin-yang language she spoke, one could tell that it was her area of expertise.
Zhao Xiaomei was furious and glared at Aunt Hongying. "How dare you talk like that? What does it have to do with you whether I go to bed or not? Why are you so talkative? What's your business? You're so unreasonable. Who do you think you are? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll report you to the leaders of the community. You don't do your job all day long, but just gossip and stir up trouble. You're destroying the unity of the collective. Believe it or not, I'll make you a fool of yourself."
