Shiyue quickly went over.
Sun Yongfu stood under the wall, gesturing towards it with his hand, and then said, "You heard what Mantian and I were saying just now. This matter can't be blown out of proportion, otherwise it won't be good for the team or for you."
Shiyue nodded quickly: "Uncle Captain, I understand."
Sun Yongfu added, "I will tell Mantian that the security team should patrol your house more often at night, and let them stake out the area more often."
Also, I'll have Erhu and Sanping raise this wall for you.
“No need. He Zhiqing said that he and a few others will come to help me repair the wall after they finish work. Uncle, you know that He Zhiqing is Yu Zhiqing’s cousin. He’s worried about his sister living here.”
That day, when his youngest son came home, he told Sun Yongfu what had happened at Shiyue's doorstep. He naturally knew about the relationship between those three people and Yu Chuxia.
Upon hearing Shi Yue's words, Sun Yongfu nodded in understanding.
"If that's the case, let them come if they want to."
Sun Yongfu thought this was better; even for his cousin's safety, He Lixuan and the others would follow the team's arrangements in this matter.
Just thinking about He Lixuan and Sun Yongfu gives me a headache.
Although they hadn't had much contact, he could tell that this kid wasn't someone to be trifled with; he was clearly a hothead!
He said, "Alright, you can go back now. I'll talk to He Zhiqing about the rest."
Seeing that he was starting to chase her away, Shiyue naturally wouldn't stay any longer. She agreed and turned to go home.
They hadn't walked far when they encountered He Lixuan, who had come with Xu Mantian.
The two glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, and they passed each other by.
Shiyue had originally planned to go up the mountain to continue digging for yams today, but after this incident, she immediately gave up the idea.
She planned to go up the mountain to cut some bamboo.
Shiyue thought that when the wall was raised, she would cut some sharp bamboo strips and stick them inside, so that if anyone climbed the wall, even if they didn't die, they would still have to bleed!
As Shiyue walked home, she saw two other female educated youths standing outside the courtyard gate before she even reached her door.
At that moment, they were talking to Yu Chuxia.
"Chu Xia, put away your petty-bourgeois ideas! What era are we living in now? Do you still think you're a young lady?"
Let me tell you, since we've already gone to the countryside, we should be prepared to endure hardship. What's wrong with collecting manure? It's helping the production brigade increase its income!
"How can you refuse to work just because it's dirty and smelly? That kind of thinking is unacceptable!"
Bai Qian frowned as she lectured Yu Chuxia with righteous indignation.
Yu Chuxia was so angry that her eyes turned red.
She retorted loudly, "You're the one who's a 'young lady'! You're the one who's afraid of hardship! I'm not going because I really have something to do."
"What do you want? You just think it's dirty and smelly!"
Yu Chuxia agreed to cook for her cousins.
But she didn't want to tell Bai Qian, fearing that Bai Qian would insist on joining in after hearing it.
She didn't want to talk about it, but Bai Qian wouldn't give up and kept pressing her for answers.
Shiyue finally couldn't stand it anymore.
“Yu Zhiqing, are you ready? If you are, let’s go.” She took two steps forward, interrupting Bai Qian.
Yu Chuxia's eyes lit up when she saw Shiyue!
She immediately said, "I'm ready, Sister Shiyue, wait for me a moment, I'll lock the door and then we'll leave."
"Hmm, there's a basket in the kitchen, go and get one."
As Shi Yue spoke, she walked past Bai Qian and Si Yueling into the courtyard, showing no intention of speaking to them.
Si Yueling's eyes flickered.
She tugged at Bai Qian, then gently tilted her head towards Shi Yue.
A hint of disgust flashed in Bai Qian's eyes.
Ever since she was humiliated by He Lixuan that morning, Bai Qian hasn't come to see Yu Chuxia for the past two days. Instead, she's been getting along well with the women in the team, along with Si Yueling.
She learned from them how to cook and start a fire, helped them carry water, and assisted them in various tasks...
This morning I got up at three o'clock and walked a long way with those women to collect manure.
This earned him praise from many members of the team.
Bai Qian thought that if she left herself out in the early summer air for two days, she would definitely panic.
Even if you're too embarrassed to reach out to yourself, you'll regret it.
So after she finished her work, she took a generous approach and approached Yu Chuxia, offering to take her and the other women in the team to collect manure the next morning.
But Yu Chuxia rejected him.
This infuriated Bai Qian!
She wanted to scold Yu Chuxia a few more times, then give her a slap followed by a treat, and then offer to help her improve together again.
Before he could finish speaking, Shiyue interrupted him.
Watching Shiyue's slender figure disappear into the courtyard, Bai Qian couldn't help but recall the disdainful look on Aunt Sun's face when she spoke of her, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "You vixen!"
Seeing that Bai Qian remained silent, Si Yueling couldn't help but nudge her again and whispered, "You and Chu Xia are close, why don't you ask Chu Xia and the others where they're going? If they're going to dig for wild vegetables, should we go with them? We don't have enough food to eat."
Si Yueling has been suffering terribly these past two days, running around with Bai Qian!
Bai Qian was eager to be recognized and took on all the dirty and hard work, but Si Yueling didn't have the same idea; she was almost exhausted!
Moreover, she didn't want to collect manure anymore!
Seeing that Bai Qian was still standing there without moving, Si Yueling became anxious.
She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, then approached the two people who had come out with their tools and said softly, "Where are you going? Why don't you come with us? Many hands make light work, and we can help out."
Although Bai Qian stood to the side without moving, it was clear that she also wanted to know why Yu Chuxia had rejected her.
