Everything was quickly finalized. They were all employed and were on annual leave, but they still had to get things done quickly.
By the time things are finished here, it will be almost Chinese New Year, and I guess most people will plan to spend the holiday here with their families before returning to Kyoto.
On the wedding day, Bai Yajing specially brought gifts to invite the village's blessed grandmother to come and comb Liu Meiling's hair.
This moved the little girl to tears again.
The wedding was not a grand affair; they simply invited close relatives and friends to a meal together.
On the wedding day, Qiao Yu grinned broadly the entire time as he entertained the villagers.
He didn't invite those educated youth; who would want to make themselves unhappy on such a joyous occasion?
He didn't invite anyone, but all sorts of rumors circulated in the educated youth compound over there.
"Tsk, look how arrogant he is! If Wang Yong and Wan Rong hadn't been so useless and let him get away with it, he wouldn't be where he is today." The speaker was a skinny man who looked like a stick. When he said this, his jealousy was almost overflowing.
"Tch, it's all thanks to women! I heard that the courtyard belongs to that pretty woman who came over the other day. She and Liu Meiling are very good friends. The reason why Qiao Yu and the other two are doing so well here is all thanks to her connections."
Another man making sarcastic remarks. It's clear these two have long coveted Liu Meiling's wealth.
The others exchanged glances, their meaning unclear.
One of the women was biting her lip, and her expression was not very good.
She fought back the urge to vomit, her eyes filled with gloom and anxiety.
Wang Yong is so useless! She touched her stomach; it seemed she needed to find a new way to escape her current predicament...
Bai Yajing helped with the preparations at home, and the villagers were asked to help with the food preparation.
After finishing all the chores and seeing the guests off, we finally had some peace and quiet after cleaning up the house together.
In order not to disturb the young couple, Qiao's parents moved to Bai Yajing's house next door.
The elders were all tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
Bai Yajing went out for a stroll in high spirits. She rarely came back, so of course she wanted to catch up with her relatives and friends in the village.
However, as soon as she opened the door, she noticed a furtive figure hurrying away from the neighboring courtyard wall.
The figure was unfamiliar to her; her clothes and appearance clearly indicated she wasn't from the village, so it could only be an educated youth sent to the countryside.
"A female educated youth? What are you doing here?"
Feeling uneasy, she quietly concealed her presence and followed.
They can stay until after the New Year at most. If there are any suspicious people, she has to find them out as soon as possible. Otherwise, with Liu Meiling's naive nature, she won't even know if she's being schemed against!
She followed the educated youth all the way to the grove.
She angrily kicked a big tree, but then cried out in pain, clutching her foot and jumping up and down.
"Damn it! Bitch! Bitch! They're all bitches!"
Bai Yajing looked at her suspiciously. Who was this bitch she was cursing?
You're not talking about Meiling, are you?
Unsure, let's see.
Not long after, another commotion was heard in the distance.
A somewhat thin man walked over here.
He was wearing a white shirt, green trousers, had a sallow complexion, and wore black-rimmed glasses; he looked quite refined.
As soon as he arrived, the female educated youth immediately adjusted her emotions.
She greeted them with a radiant smile.
"Brother Ma, you're here!"
The person she called "Little Ma" wasn't from the village either; both of them were educated youth sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution.
"Hmm, what do you want from me?" This woman is no good. Others may not know, but he does. Wan Rong and Wang Yong were both instigated by this woman. Otherwise, with those two donkey brains, how could they have come up with such a vicious and malicious idea?
Now those two idiots are both in jail, and they don't even know what they came to see him for.
The young woman's smile faded.
Her shoulders were shaking as she sobbed softly. When she looked up, her beautiful profile was revealed. How could any man resist her pitiful appearance?
