Chapter 114 Silently Enduring
For this spot, the three of them silently decided to unite against Liu Yunxia and eliminate her first.
Therefore, the three intentionally or unintentionally slandered Liu Yunxia, saying that she was aloof, unsociable, arrogant, and unreasonable...
Although they were just minor rumors, they were mentioned so often that people in the village who already had some opinions about her started to agree, and the rumors got out of control.
Eventually, as the story spread, her past with the young man from the village was also brought up.
Yes, Liu Yunxia has been here for over ten years, growing from a young girl into a thirty-year-old woman. During that time, she has been approached by many people seeking marriage, but she has refused them all.
As a result, she offended many people in the village. Even though she worked hard, was diligent and honest, people still hurled insults at her behind her back.
The matter caused quite a stir, but Zhao Xi eventually suppressed it. However, Liu Yunxia also learned from her close neighbors that Fang Yan and the others had been slandering her outside, so she parted ways with them when she returned.
Does Liu Yunxia really not care?
No way.
However, she has gotten used to it.
After being disappointed too many times, you stop having any hope.
She only thought about doing more work every day so that she could get a bigger share of the harvest when the grain was distributed in the fall, and then send it home so that her parents, brothers and sisters could get through the winter.
She didn't want to cause trouble; she just wanted to live her life peacefully.
But why is it so difficult?
Liu Yunxia bent over and worked silently, her tears mingling with her sweat as they fell onto the field, unnoticed and uncared for.
"Let's go check on the farm." After the crowd dispersed, Zhao Xi thought for a moment and decided to go to the farm to see how Su Xiao was doing. He took Yang Erfu with him, and the two of them went together.
Meanwhile, Su Xiao and Tian Niu were busy at work.
There were still eggs collected a few days ago in the warehouse, casually placed in a crate.
Su Xiao couldn't stand it and started sorting them basket by basket.
When Zhao Xi and Yang Erfu arrived, they saw her earnest and diligent figure.
"Xiaoxiao, what's this?" Zhao Xi's eyes were filled with surprise, and her face was beaming with joy.
Yes, the person he recommended is indeed excellent. Let's see who dares to criticize him now.
"Oh, Secretary Zhao." Su Xiao had never met Yang Erfu before and didn't know how to address him.
"This is our village's security chief, Director Yang Erfu," Zhao Xi introduced.
"Director Yang, hello." Su Xiao immediately bowed and greeted him.
"Hello, I'm following Secretary Zhao, so I'll call you Xiaoxiao too. Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?" Su Xiao greeted him with a smile, her attitude respectful and polite, without the haughty attitude of some urban educated youth, which made Yang Erfu feel much more favorably toward her.
"Oh, I think these eggs look a bit messy when they're placed like this, and they're more likely to break when you move them, so I'm rearranging them."
While Su Xiao was speaking, Zhao Xi and Yang Erfu had already looked through all the sorted baskets.
Zhao Xi picked up a straw mat made of woven straw with a cross pattern and smiled, "This is a good idea."
After tidying up the first basket, Su Xiao felt that the scattered straw was still inconvenient. She remembered the cardboard used to line the eggs, but since the conditions didn't allow for that, she thought of weaving squares directly from the straw.
In the future, I can make more in my spare time and keep them for later use, which will make them more convenient when needed.
Yang Erfu nodded in agreement, "Old Zhao, you have a good eye."
