Shi Yue opened the courtyard gate and found that the person standing outside was actually Si Yueling.
She stopped and called out, "Yu Zhiqing, it's looking for you."
Soon, Yu Chuxia ran out.
Yu Chuxia was also surprised to see Si Yueling. She walked over and asked, "Yueling, what brings you here at this hour?"
Si Yueling glanced at where Yu Chuxia was standing, blocking the doorway, clearly indicating that she was not to be allowed to enter.
She lowered her eyes, concealing the resentment in them.
—She almost ended up living here!
If she lived here, she would have her own room and wouldn't have to be exhausted like Bai Qian every day!
But it's too late to say all this now.
"Why aren't you saying anything? What happened?" Seeing that Si Yueling remained silent, Yu Chuxia asked again.
Si Yueling raised her eyes and forced a smile: "I came to tell you that tomorrow we'll be working with the male educated youth to build the educated youth settlement."
"What did you say?" Yu Chuxia was taken aback!
Not only was she surprised, but Shiyue was also taken aback by what Siyueling said.
Sending female educated youth to build houses?
Who came up with this terrible idea?
You should know that the team never uses women to build houses normally.
On the one hand, the elderly have taboos and do not allow women to participate in such earth-moving activities.
At the same time, because this job is really physically demanding, even men find it exhausting, let alone women.
Only a few rooms were built in the educated youth settlement!
It's still the off-season for farming, so how can we even use women?
"Is this the brigade's intention?" Shiyue couldn't help but ask.
Si Yueling pursed her lips, paused for a moment, and then said, "This was something Bai Qian fought for in the team. She said that men and women are equal, and women can hold up half the sky. The team cannot discriminate against female comrades."
"Is she out of her mind? Has she lost her brain?"
I don't know when, but the three people inside came out.
Hearing that this was another of Bai Qian's antics, Jiang Dong couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing angrily.
Si Yueling remained silent, because what Jiang Dong said was also what she felt in her heart.
She now thinks Bai Qian is crazy!
But since the two of them are living together now and going in and out of the house together, she can't say that.
She quietly lifted her eyelids, glanced at the three men standing in the courtyard, then looked at Yu Chuxia and Shiyue beside her, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
Si Yueling couldn't explain what she envied.
Perhaps she envied that someone could speak up for Yu Chuxia?
Yu Chuxia didn't think she had anything to envy, and she burst into tears without hesitation.
She grabbed He Lixuan's clothes and sobbed loudly, "Brother, I don't want to build the house, I can't carry it!"
Just kidding, she saw what kind of mess Ye Pu'an had made after picking mud all day!
The thought of becoming that horrible person tomorrow made Yu Chuxia feel like she couldn't go on living!
She immediately started crying even louder.
He Lixuan was also furious at Bai Qian's outrageous actions.
He mainly felt that such behavior was pointless and ridiculous!
With so many male laborers in the brigade, why would they need female educated youth to build houses?
With her small frame, barely able to lift a bucket of water, wouldn't it be a laughing stock to have her do this kind of work?
The thought of his cousin being stared at, ridiculed, and pointed at by a group of people tomorrow made He Lixuan's fists hard!
"This won't do, let's go talk to the captain!" Jiang Dong didn't even want to eat anymore and turned to leave.
“The captain won’t listen to you,” Shiyue interjected from the side.
He Lixuan knew that Shi Yue was right; this had nothing to do with the brigade leader.
If the brigade cadres had this idea, they wouldn't have only called male educated youth to work today.
The fact that things have escalated to this point is entirely due to Bai Qian's meddling.
It seems the brigade leaders were taken aback by her words, which led them to make this decision in the end.
Even if they went to look for them now, it would probably be of no use.
He clenched his fist again, then pulled Jiang Dong aside and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
After saying that, she grabbed him and headed towards the kitchen.
Ye Puan and Yu Chuxia, who was crying, followed them inside.
Shiyue remained standing by the door, watching Siyueling standing outside.
Seeing that she was still standing there without moving, he couldn't help but remind her, "Si Zhiqing, is there anything else?"
Si Yueling glanced at the few people who had entered Shiyue's house so naturally, and her eyes were almost brimming with resentment.
She looked up at the sky; it had already grown dark.
Si Yueling recalled what Shi Yue had said before, that men were not allowed to enter or leave her house at night.
I couldn't help but purse my lips.
Seeing that Shiyue was still standing inside the door looking at her, Siyue Ling smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, I'll go back first. I just came to tell Chuxia."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Although Si Yueling's expression changed quickly, Shi Yue could see it clearly.
This made her even more grateful that Yu Chuxia was the one who drew her house in the lottery; otherwise, living with such a cunning person every day would have been exhausting or incredibly annoying.
As soon as Shiyue entered the kitchen, she heard He Lixuan say coldly, "With us following you around, you'll be exhausted? With your weakling appearance, you really need to get some exercise!"
Then she heard Yu Chuxia's sobs grow louder.
Shiyue's lips twitched.
How come she didn't know this person could be so sharp-tongued?
They don't know how to say nice things properly.
He clearly felt sorry for his cousin, but he still pretended to be impatient.
Fortunately, the other two people in the room were more normal than He Lixuan.
Ye Puan comforted him, "It's alright, we'll all be working tomorrow. If there's any dirty or tiring work, we'll help you with it."
Jiang Dong nodded in agreement: "Exactly. Compared to those two, you're much luckier!"
Shiyue agrees with this statement.
As for Yu Chuxia, Shiyue's initial impression of her was so-so; she thought she was quite spoiled.
As time went on, this impression was gradually shattered.
She now feels that although the girl is indeed spoiled and has a lot of people taking care of her, she actually has a good personality and is at least not pretentious.
She was at least much better than the other two female educated youths.
So at this moment, Shiyue couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.
She said, "Captain Uncle is actually a very nice person. He won't deliberately make things difficult for anyone. Chu Xia, as long as you work hard tomorrow and don't slack off, Captain Uncle won't let anyone bully you."
"real?"
All the other people's comments were not as good as Shiyue's one sentence. Yu Chuxia immediately wiped away her tears and looked at Shiyue with longing.
Shiyue could only nod solemnly.
"Yes, I will definitely do my best." Yu Chuxia clenched her fist.
Her voice still carried the urge to cry, yet she insisted on putting on a strong front.
Seeing her like this, Shiyue suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.
She said, "Hang in there, I'll cook you something delicious tomorrow night."
Shiyue regretted saying those words as soon as she finished speaking, because she realized—
Suddenly, the eyes of the people opposite them lit up!
