Chapter Thirty-Two: Qiao, the Educated Youth, Gets into a Fight
Inside the carriage, Song Biao wiped the sweat from his forehead and leaned close to Zhou Congsheng, saying, "Commander, what are we going to do? With this little firecracker around, we'll have to keep cleaning up her messes. I've already apologized to her three times since we boarded the train."
Zhou Congsheng didn't say anything. He had already put on a smiling face for Song Biao twice, let alone Song Biao.
"Tell Zhao Yue that if she causes any more trouble, I'll call the higher-ups and have her transferred back!"
Song Biao: "!!!"
"........"
Are you kidding me? Her dad's your boss. If the chief of staff could handle her, she wouldn't be on the train right now!
"What are you doing? Go tell her!"
Song Biao pursed his lips, slowly got up from the bed, and went to find Zhao Yue.
Zhou Congsheng sighed, took out a necklace from his neck, gently opened it, and looked at the smiling girl on it. His heart burned with excitement. In just one more night, he would be able to see Yuzhu. He wondered how she had been doing in the countryside all this time.
At this time, all the members of Xiangyang Production Team were preparing for the upcoming double harvest season, and Shen Yuzhu was no exception.
After arranging the furniture in the newly built courtyard, she also put curtains on the windows. When she built the courtyard, she also built a chicken coop in the corner of the wall and exchanged it with some villagers for a few chicks and ducks, which are now being raised quite well.
The first time she turned on the stove in the kitchen, she specially asked someone to catch a fish and invited Qiao Wangshu, Lin Wanwan, and Wang Liping to have a meal together.
From then on, he started living a quiet life on his own.
That day, Shen Yuzhu cooked a pot of egg noodles. The aroma wafted outside, making people's mouths water. After only a few bites, there was a knock on the courtyard gate. Lin Wanwan rushed over in a panic, followed by Liang Manxiu.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh dear, Chen, Qiao is fighting with someone! You should go and see!"
"What?"
Shen Yuzhu put down her chopsticks and the two of them ran towards the educated youth settlement.
Liang Manxiu looked at her anxious back with a hint of resentment, but still helped her close the courtyard gate.
The educated youth settlement was noisy. Wang Liping, looking impatient, forcefully pulled apart the two people who were fighting like cocks. Outside, there were several male educated youths holding bowls and watching the commotion.
"Wang Jinxing, call all the male educated youth away. This is your educated youth dormitory. What are you all looking at over here?"
"Hey, here I am."
Upon hearing this, several male educated youths took two steps back with embarrassed expressions. Although the words were spoken to Wang Jinxing, they were actually directed at them.
Wang Yanhong and Zhang Shujuan's hair was all messed up. They couldn't beat her in a fight or win an argument. They were so angry that they were trembling all over and staring at her with bloodshot eyes.
"I only said a few words, what's it to you? I wasn't talking about you!"
"Exactly! You fawn over them like a lapdog, but do they even think of you when they have good food and drink? If they really considered you a sister, they should have brought you to live in their new house too."
"That's right. We built so many houses, but we never let you visit more than twice. We just said a few words, but you protected them so well. You treat them like sisters, but they treat you like a lackey."
...
The two of them took turns criticizing Qiao Wangshu. If someone were even slightly more emotionally fragile, they might have already become furious. But Qiao Wangshu was no ordinary person. Listening to their endless nonsense, she went up and slapped each of them hard across the face.
"Slap! Slap!"
The two sounds immediately shut Zhang Shujuan and Wang Yanhong up.
"Listen to this, listen to this! You two can't even hide your jealous faces anymore. So what if Yuzhu made a delicious lunch? You're so envious! If you want to eat it, go make it yourselves! Stop nagging and spewing nonsense with your big mouths, talking about your comrades behind their backs. A couple of slaps would be too lenient for you."
Wang Yanhong tugged at Zhang Shujuan's clothes. Usually, Wang Yanhong would do the talking and Zhang Shujuan would do the fighting, but the person she was facing now was different. Qiao Wangshu was extremely fierce in battle and she couldn't beat him at all.
"Wang Shu, are you alright?"
Shen Yuzhu rushed in and checked Qiao Wangshu from head to toe, to which the latter chuckled.
"What could possibly happen to me? Those two weaklings can't beat me at all."
Zhang Shujuan: "......"
Wang Yanhong: "......."
How dare a woman be so rude!
"It's good that you're alright. You shouldn't resort to violence when things happen. It hurts so much. What if you hurt your hand? Come on, let's go to my house. I've cooked a lot of food. You can go over there and replenish your energy. You must have used up a lot after fighting with someone."
Everyone: "!!!"
"......."
Wang Liping coughed twice and briefly recounted what had just happened. Shen Yuzhu turned her head and glanced at the two of them sideways.
"The house I paid for is of course mine alone. We Wangshu are hardworking and excellent educated youth, not those short-sighted people who will try to take advantage of any opportunity. I didn't expect Zhang and Wang to be so kind. I think when the grain is distributed, they will definitely give some to those of us with low work points. Otherwise, it would be a disservice to your boundless love and excellent qualities."
"Why should we share our food with others?"
"That settles it then. What's the point of going to the countryside? It's to receive re-education. As for how the educated youth Qiao and Shen live their lives, what does it have to do with you? You might as well use this time to go to work after you finish eating. You always dawdle and ruin the reputation of us educated youth."
Wang Liping usually gets some attention. After yelling at Zhang Shujuan and Wang Yanhong for causing trouble, she turned around and shoved Qiao Wangshu into the yard.
"Take it easy next time you hit someone. Your claws are broken. Look at those two you beat up, they look like pig heads. If you do it again, I won't be able to help you even if I want to."
Wang Liping glared at Qiao Wangshu, then turned and went to the kitchen. The dishes hadn't been washed yet, and her lunch break was over. That's why people shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
Qiao Wangshu stuck out her tongue, and Shen Yuzhu poked her forehead.
"Why bother with them? Let them talk, it's not like it'll hurt them."
“I can’t stand it anymore. By the way, I’ve already made a deal with Lin and Liang, the educated youth. They’ll come with me and help out if any villagers are preparing a feast. I talked to the brigade leader about this this morning, and the old village chief also supports it.”
Shen Yuzhu's smile faded slightly, and she thoughtfully glanced at Liang Manxiu, who seemed a little nervous under her gaze.
"I never expected Liang Zhiqing to join us."
“Help, helping others prepare banquets can earn money, and I can also get leftovers. If there isn’t enough food, I can have an extra source of income. I really have to thank Qiao Zhiqing for helping me out. Shen Zhiqing, don’t be upset!”
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
Just say what you want to say, why are you acting all aggrieved?!
