This Tian Xiaoke doesn't seem bad, nor does she seem like a bad person. She's just too love-struck. She actually gave up her comfortable life in the city and went to the countryside to follow Xia Minglei. Not only does she work hard, but she also doesn't get enough to eat and gets quite tanned. I wonder if she regrets her decision.
"My name is Lu Xiaoyun. I'm Xia Minglei's childhood friend. I'm also twenty-one years old this year, and I've been working in the countryside for almost three years now," Lu Xiaoyun said.
Liang Zhaodi hurriedly stood up, puffing out her large pregnant belly to draw everyone's attention to it. "I am Liang Zhaodi, from Wushi. I am Lu Xiaoyun's wife. We are a legally married couple. It's fine if you have normal interactions with Lu Xiaoyun, but if you go beyond the boundaries of friendship, don't blame me for being impolite. After all, I can't let my child be without a father, right? So I hope everyone can understand the difficulties of being a wife and mother."
As Liang Zhaodi spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Wen Xi's face, as if Wen Xi were a mistress trying to steal her man.
Wen Xi curled her lips in disdain. Lu Xiaoyun wasn't even worthy of carrying He Chen'an's shoes, so how could he possibly catch her eye?
The others rolled their eyes in disdain when they heard Liang Zhaodi's words. They had no penchant for stealing dirty men who had been with other women. There were plenty of good men in the world, not just Lu Xiaoyun.
Including Liang Zhaodi, there were only eight female educated youths at the settlement. However, apart from Liang Zhaodi, the rest of them looked down on Lu Xiaoyun, which made Lu Xiaoyun feel very frustrated.
Is he really that bad?
He wanted to get closer to Nie Xiulan, but she always acted coy. He wanted to pursue Wenxi and have her do his laundry, cook for him, and serve him, but she didn't give him a friendly look.
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Liang Zhaodi beside him, his eyes filled with disgust. If it weren't for Nie Xiulan's accident during that time, and his fear that his affairs would be exposed, he wouldn't have stayed at home obediently, let alone touched Liang Zhaodi. When he could return to the city in the future, he wouldn't even take his child back with him.
He will have a new heir with a woman of equal social standing in the future. How could he possibly let Liang Zhaodi's child be the heir and let Liang Zhaodi gain status through her son?
The moonlight was dim, and no one else saw the disdain in Lu Xiaoyun's eyes.
"My name is Wu Guoqiang, and I come from Nanshi."
"My name is Li Wei, and I come from Dongshi."
"My name is Jiang Mo, and I come from Tang City."
"My name is Cheng Yu, and I come from Yun City."
"My name is Gu Xiangbei..."
Wenxi just looked at everyone like that. These people were all minor characters with little screen time. They weren't described in detail in the story. Wenxi stayed for two years and then went back. She didn't know what their fates were.
But none of this concerns her; she's not a savior.
When the system issues a rescue mission, there's nothing that can be done about it.
But she knew nothing about these people's affairs, and she couldn't interfere.
When the new batch of educated youth introduced themselves, Wenxi became even more confused, because they were not the ones who came here in her previous life, and she didn't know what had happened that led them to this place.
So where did those new educated youth who came here in the previous life go?
After everyone had introduced themselves, they sat down to eat dinner. Gu Huai'an had already distributed the chicken to everyone, so there was no need for anyone to fight over it; everyone could just eat their own food.
After finishing their meal, Wenxi stood up and said, "The three of us have been sitting here ever since we arrived at the educated youth settlement. We haven't gone anywhere else, as everyone has seen. If anyone claims that their belongings are missing and tries to frame us, I won't be polite. I hope some people can save some face for themselves."
After that, Wenxi, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue went back with the empty basket.
Now, only Tian Shengnan, Tian Xiaoke, Tang Xiaoyun, Wang Caiyun, Liang Zhaodi, and Chu Wan'er remain among the female educated youth. Wen Xi doesn't know about the others, but she does know about Liang Zhaodi and Chu Wan'er. Both of them hate her to the core. Who knows what they might do later? She directly showed her attitude, preventing them from making any moves.
When Liang Zhaodi and Chu Wan'er heard Wen Xi's words, their expressions turned very unpleasant, because Wen Xi was practically naming them by name, and everyone could tell that she was talking about them!
Because of Wenxi, they have to carry manure for a year, and the deadline hasn't come yet. They are exhausted, hot, and smelly all day long, but Wenxi is still holding onto this issue.
It's all the fault of those police officers who suddenly appeared that night. If they hadn't come, Wenxi would have been pinned to the ground and never had a chance to get up again.
Gu Huai'an and his two companions, the three newly arrived male educated youths, left together with Wen Xi and her two companions, but they went their separate ways without exchanging any words.
Whether they were too focused on walking or something else, Gu Huai'an and the others unknowingly followed Wen Xi to the vicinity of Wen Xi's house.
When Wenxi and her companions arrived at their doorstep, they found Qian Qiusheng unloading firewood at their door. Wenxi quickly stopped him, saying, "Comrade Qian Qiusheng, we have enough firewood. We don't need you to bring us any."
“Xiaoxi, you’ve been cooking for everyone in the cafeteria every day lately, how come you have time to go out and collect firewood? I’ll bring you firewood so you can rest a little longer, right?” After saying that, Qian Qiusheng continued to unload the firewood by the door.
"Comrade Qian Qiusheng, I said no need. We're here to support rural development, not to exploit labor. I don't want anyone to misunderstand us." Wen Xi said in a deep voice, then went over to put the firewood on the cart.
Seeing this, Gu Huai'an turned to look at Lu Mingxiu and Li Jianguo, and then the three of them stepped forward to help carry the firewood. In no time, they put the firewood that Qian Qiusheng had unloaded back onto the cart.
Gu Huai'an gave Lu Mingxiu a wink, and Lu Mingxiu quickly pushed the cart away. Seeing this, Qian Qiusheng had no choice but to chase after Lu Mingxiu.
After calming herself down, Wen Xi looked at Gu Huai'an and said, "Comrade Gu, thank you for getting the three of us out of trouble today. Otherwise, I don't know what people would say about us tomorrow."
"It's nothing, no need to be polite." Gu Huai'an smiled faintly and then invited Li Jianguo to leave together.
Wen Xi took out her key and opened the courtyard gate, saying as she walked, "I don't know what Qian Qiusheng is up to. We've refused him time and time again, but he still keeps sending things here. You two should be careful no matter what you do in the future."
"Okay, we will." Shen Jiaojiao was also quite annoyed. She felt that Qian Qiusheng was like someone who couldn't understand human speech. He even chose to come and deliver firewood to them at night. If the gossipy women in the team found out, who knows how they would slander them!
