Song Yun's face darkened. She quickly put the steamed buns into the bamboo basket, put down the steamer and walked out of the kitchen.
Aunt Wang and Liu Fangfang looked at each other, quickly stuffed the last bite of steamed bun into their mouths, and followed Song Yun out of the kitchen.
Because of the renovation work, the gate of the deserted courtyard was wide open these days. Only in the evening when all the helpers had left would Song Yun close the gate.
Not only was there a kang-making craftsman working today, but there was also a dinner party at noon. Song Yun had opened the courtyard door early in the morning, but she didn't know that this would provide a convenient door for people with bad intentions.
At this time, Li Lin had already walked to the backyard with her bag. She heard the master who was making the kang in front of her say that Song Yun was in the kitchen in the backyard, so she came over by herself.
When Li Lin saw Song Yun, she plopped down on the ground without saying a word. "Song Zhiqing, please help me. I was kicked out of the Zhiqing Center and now I have nowhere to go."
Song Yun just stood there, with no intention of helping anyone. She could kneel if she wanted to. It wasn't her knees that were hurt, nor was it her face that was embarrassed.
"First of all, I don't believe you were kicked out by the educated youth camp. Secondly, even if you really have nowhere else to stay, it has nothing to do with me. This house isn't a place you can just move into. Leave now, and don't force me to get angry and kick you out."
How could Li Lin leave? She knelt here at the cost of her dignity just to live in this house. The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. How could she leave when she hasn't even seen the moon yet?
"Song Zhiqing, we are all women. Why should women embarrass women? I believe you can understand my difficulties."
Aunt Wang couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, pointed at Li Lin and started to yell, "Li Zhiqing, are you talking like a human being? Everyone knows your shameless intention to live in this courtyard. And you still have the nerve to ask Song Zhiqing to understand your difficulties? Pah! Everyone knows that Captain Qi is Song Zhiqing's opponent! You are openly trying to steal someone else's girlfriend, and you think you are right? You even ask Song Zhiqing to understand. Why don't you just tell him to give his man to you? Don't you have any shame? In my life, I have never seen a woman as shameless as you. You are an educated youth, and you are a literati from the city. Pah! I don't think you are even worthy of being a human being."
If Aunt Wang hadn't kept calling him "Dui" and "her man", Song Yun would have wanted to give Aunt Wang a thumbs up.
However, in front of Li Lin, the words of clarification were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back. Forget it, he would explain to Aunt Wang after sending Li Lin away, otherwise Li Lin would become even more crazy after hearing it.
Li Lin's face flushed red. She was scolded by Aunt Wang and was too embarrassed to raise her head. But she still knelt and did not get up. When she spoke again, her voice was not as righteous as before. "Song Zhiqing, you are beautiful and rich. Even if you don't marry Captain Qi, you will definitely live a good life. But I, if I-"
Song Yun interrupted Li Lin, "Are you trying to say that if you can't marry Captain Qi, you won't be able to survive?"
Li Lin nodded and wanted to speak, but Aunt Wang spoke first and started to rant again, "You're talking nonsense. If you say that, are all the unmarried girls in this village doomed to die? There are so many unmarried educated youth in the educated youth camp, are they all going to die? It's obvious that you are attracted to Captain Qi's status and want to be his wife. You don't want to work and just want to enjoy life. Ha, that's nothing. Who in the world doesn't want to live a good life? But you shouldn't have rushed into Captain Qi. You didn't succeed yesterday, and now you're causing this trouble again. What's going on? Did Captain Qi dig up your Li family's ancestral graves in his past life? Captain Qi has been unlucky for eight generations. This disaster is really sent from the sky, and there is no way to avoid it."
Li Lin's face was almost torn off by Aunt Wang's words. She was furious and glared at Aunt Wang with red eyes. "This is a matter between Song Zhiqing and me. What does it have to do with you? Do you need to say anything here?"
Aunt Wang raised her chin. "How can it have nothing to do with me? My husband is the team leader. Whether he's in trouble or not, what's wrong with me speaking a few public words on his behalf?"
Li Lin was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she couldn't do anything about Aunt Wang. She could only bite her lip and swallow her anger. When she turned to look at Song Yun, her expression was pitiful again. "Song Zhiqing, I know you are a good person. You definitely don't want to see me die."
