Chen Yanran usually treats people gently, but Xu Ying always looks superior. Coupled with her bad temper, it is easy for people to associate her with bad images.
"Yanran, you are just too good-tempered, that's why Xu Ying bullies you like this. You sent a letter to Dong Zhiqing, and you didn't do anything shameful, but she still has the nerve to quarrel with you.
Bah, the captain's family spoils her, and I don't think anyone will spoil her after she leaves the captain's family." The person who spoke was Chen Yanran's little follower.
As soon as she said this, several educated youths who were not used to Xu Ying's attitude of looking down on city people even though she was from the country also said, "Xu Ying is really unreasonable.
You just sent a letter to Wen Zhong, but she was still angry with you. I think she is really narcissistic. Dong Wen Zhong is not her partner, but she acts like he is her legal wife. "
The matter of Dong Wenzhong's injury was soon forgotten, but the issue of Xu Ying's unreasonableness was still being raised.
Zhang Qiuling couldn't stand Chen Yanran's green tea look the most, she was full of bad intentions.
She sneered and said, "Chen Yanran, why didn't you save Xu Ying, but pretended to be the savior?
You are not thinking that you can win the captain's favor and let him desert you!"
Chen Yanran was touched at the heart of the matter and looked very embarrassed. After the incident was exposed, her reputation in the Youth League Institute declined rapidly.
She had been very well behaved these past few days, but she didn't expect this matter to be brought up. She looked at Zhang Qiuling's bed with vicious eyes.
"Zhang Qiuling, I was possessed by the devil about that matter, but I've already apologized. Why are you still holding on to it?" Chen Yanran's eyes turned red as she spoke, and her shoulders twitched as she was about to cry.
"I just can't stand some people who have bad intentions and want to discredit others everywhere." After saying this, Zhang Qiuling covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep.
Chen Yanran was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Dong Wenzhong was awakened by the pain in the middle of the night. His right hand was in terrible pain. Thinking of the beating he received that night, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching. However, he didn't even see the person clearly, nor did he hear whose voice it was.
After finally making it until dawn, Dong Wenzhong heard some bad news.
"Wen Zhong, our commune is recruiting teachers. I heard that there are three vacancies in one village. If we can get this vacancies, we won't have to go out to work." Chen Yanran's eyes were full of light.
He had no idea that Dong Wenzhong was now seriously injured in bed and could not move his right hand. Hearing this news was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
How can he take part in the competition in his current poor condition?
Dong Wenzhong looked at her with a sour look in his heart: "Yanran, I am injured like this now, I can't participate in the competition at all, but you can, if you study hard during this period, you will definitely be able to pass the exam."
Chen Yanran was a little disappointed when she heard that he couldn't go, but she recovered quickly.
Yes, she can still go.
Working in the fields was so hard and tiring that Chen Yanran had long lost the vigor and energy she had when she first went to the countryside to provide support.
"Wen Zhong, don't worry. I will definitely work hard. When I become a teacher and have a salary and food supply, our lives will definitely be much better."
Dong Wenzhong felt very relieved to hear this. It was worth it that he had not agreed to be with Xu Ying for her sake.
Chen Yanran frowned quickly, and she looked at Dong Wenzhong with a tangled face: "Wenzhong, but we have offended the captain's family, will they let us participate in this competition?"
There are five or six villages participating in the competition this time, with three places for each village, but only two for teachers.
With so many people competing, Chen Yanran was a little worried that she wouldn’t be selected.
If Xu Ying could help them, she would have at least a 50% better chance of winning than if she participated on her own.
Dong Wenzhong knew what she was worried about, but Xu Ying seemed like a different person now and didn't listen to him at all.
Thinking of Xu Ying, he asked, "Yanran, did you really hear Xu Ying's voice yesterday?"
Chen Yanran's eyes widened and she nodded quickly: "I am 100% sure it was her. Was she the one who caused your injury?"
Dong Wenzhong laughed and shook his head: "It's definitely not Xu Ying, with her frail body, how could she hit me.
Dong Wenzhong still couldn't understand why they caught him and beat him up, as he had been in Xujia Village for more than a year and hadn't offended anyone.
And to kill him like this, one must have a huge hatred for him.
He would never let this matter go easily. He had better not catch the person who beat him, otherwise he would return it tenfold! After Chen Yanran finished talking with Dong Wenzhong, she ran to the captain's house.
She stood at the door, hesitating and not daring to go in, for fear of meeting that shrew, Old Lady Xu.
The news that Yushan Commune was recruiting teachers spread early in the morning.
Many people who met the academic qualifications came to the captain's house to sign up.
Sun Yunjuan saw Chen Yanran standing at the door and not going in, so she walked up to her and asked, "Yanran, have you also signed up for Yushan Commune's recruitment of teachers?"
Chen Yanran nodded.
Sun Yunjuan asked curiously, "Why don't you go in? Most of the people in the Youth Institute have signed up. If you go too late, there might not be any spots left."
Chen Yanran became anxious when she heard this and hurried into the Xu family's yard.
In the yard, Xu Ying was sitting in a recliner basking in the sun. Her leisurely look deeply hurt Chen Yanran.
She didn't understand what was so good about Xu Ying. It was obvious that rural people had a serious preference for boys over girls, so why was it the exact opposite in the Xu family?
Although her family does not have the idea of favoring boys over girls, her parents do not love their daughter as much as Xu's father and mother do.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been allowed to come when we drew lots to go to the countryside.
"Yanran, you still have to find the captain to sign up, but you can't offend Xu Ying. What if he tells the captain that he doesn't let you participate?" Sun Yunjuan advised.
Chen Yanran bit her lip and understood this, but she walked into the house unwillingly.
Xu Ying was lying on the recliner in the yard, her mind spinning. Her family lived better than many families in the village, but was still far behind those living in the city.
So she had to find a job to make a living as soon as possible.
"Mom, I'm going to the county town. You don't have to cook for me at noon." After saying that, Xu Ying stood up and left the yard.
Old Mrs. Xu, who came rushing over, had not yet given the eggs in her hand to her good daughter.
When Chen Yanran saw this scene, her teeth almost broke.
Xu Ying left home and went straight to her grandmother's house.
Her second uncle's family had a bicycle. They used to live a good life. Her eldest cousin was a regular worker in a factory in the county, but later he fell into poverty due to an accident.
But before that, my eldest cousin bought a bicycle for the family.
Xu Ying arrived at the Xu family's old house, her heart pounding.
She has been afraid of her grandmother since she was a child. Her parents told her that her grandmother was a teacher of etiquette in a wealthy family, so Grandma Xu was particularly strict with the younger generation.
Every time Xu Ying saw her, she felt scared.
But in this life, Xu Ying knew that although her grandmother was strict with them, it was also for their own good: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm here to see you."
Xu Ying took out a few duck eggs from the space and walked into the yard with a smile.
When Grandma Xu heard her cheerful voice, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
