Chapter 69 Taunt
"How can you do that, Brother Yang? You've worked so hard to save up some money, and you'll be getting married someday! You can't just spend this money recklessly."
Xu Yirou smiled calmly, her voice completely still.
A dark glint flashed in Yang Junqing's eyes: "Yi Rou, we've known each other for so many years, you should know my feelings, actually I..."
“Brother Yang…” Before Yang Junqing could finish speaking, Xu Yirou interrupted him and said, “What Xie Manman said is true.”
Yang Junqing was taken aback, and his face darkened.
“My mom said that anyone who wants to marry me must give a dowry of 500 yuan. This dowry will be used to build a new house for my younger brother and help him get married.”
Xu Yirou seemed oblivious to Yang Junqing's expression and spoke to herself.
"So, someone like me, I'm afraid most people wouldn't marry me. Brother Yang, you're already in your twenties, it's time to seriously consider your life's important matter."
Yang Junqing opened his mouth, and after a long while, he finally said, "Then you should rest well first."
He then turned and left.
When he left, he even forgot to leave behind the two steamed buns he was carrying.
Xu Yirou watched his hasty retreating figure, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, and then remained silent.
In his previous life, Yang Junqing knew that Xie Manman wanted to give him to Tong Yaozu, the son of the production team leader. Instead of telling him, he took the opportunity to ask Xie Manman for a spot to return to the city.
She heard Tong Yaozu say this to her when she was struggling and begging for help on his bed. At that time, she thought that Tong Yaozu was deliberately saying this to deceive her in order to break her down.
Later, she was rescued by Gu Yanxiao. When she returned to the educated youth settlement, she overheard Xie Manman and Yang Junqing's conversation.
It was at that time that she finally understood this: her classmate who had once vowed to protect her.
Now that Xie Manman has been arrested, she only needs to be careful to guard against Tong Yaozu. In another year or so, she can look forward to the resumption of the college entrance examination.
She believed that as long as she picked up her books again from now on, she would definitely be able to pass the college entrance examination and return to the city.
With that in mind, Xu Yirou didn't delay any longer and went directly to the doctor to ask to be discharged.
She had finally managed to save a little money, but she wanted to use it wisely and not just spend it on hospital bills.
Although the doctor wanted her to stay in the hospital for observation for another two days, seeing her insistence and her promise to come back immediately if she felt unwell, the doctor didn't say anything more.
These days everyone is struggling, and it's understandable that people are reluctant to spend money in the hospital.
Yang Junqing didn't say anything when Xu Yirou said she wanted to be discharged from the hospital.
The two of them had come in Wu Yong'an's car, and now they could only walk back and try their luck to see if they could catch an oxcart back to Bakushu Village.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to see Tong Deliang driving an oxcart when they reached the intersection leading back to Bakushu Village.
"Xu Zhiqing, are you all better now?" He naturally knew about Xu Yirou's head injury, and seeing her standing here unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Deliang. I'm fine." Xu Yirou smiled faintly.
Tong Deliang couldn't help but take another look at her, feeling that there seemed to be something different about this girl; her expression had become much calmer and more composed.
"Uncle Deliang, why didn't you come to work today?"
Yang Junqing asked, "Logically speaking, today is not a special day, and Tong Deliang should be at work."
Tong Deliang was clearly in a good mood. He squinted, took a puff of his pipe, and said, "Let's go to town and buy some wine to take back."
Since it's a rare treat to have some fish, we definitely need to get some wine to enjoy it.
On this day when the whole village was eating meat, the village ran out of wine, so he was asked by everyone to come to town to buy some.
"You came here specifically to buy wine?" Yang Junqing was even more puzzled. When did Tong Deliang's family become so well-off?
"Yes, to buy for the whole village."
After keeping everyone in suspense for a while, Tong Deliang finally revealed that the village had hunted two large wild boars.
"Two wild boars?" Upon hearing this news, Yang Junqing subconsciously swallowed.
That's a lot of meat!
However, when he thought of what Tong Deliang had just said—that the educated youth at the settlement wouldn't participate in the distribution of meat—his face darkened again.
Even though they had been sent-down youth in Bakushu Village for several years, they were still excluded.
The fact that educated youth were not allowed to participate in distributing the meat is enough to illustrate this point.
"Yes, last night Aiguo, Decheng, Defa, Delu, and the Gu family, a group of educated youth, went up the back mountain to hunt two wild boars, and the six of them shared one of them equally."
As he spoke, Tong Deliang smacked his lips with envy: "Each wild boar weighs over 400 jin (200 kg). I'm afraid the six of them won't be able to finish all the meat this time."
"Over 400 jin (200 kg), even after removing the internal organs, each person should get at least 80 or 90 jin (40-45 kg)!"
Yang Junqing was shocked. How long would it take a family to finish eating this person who weighed nearly 100 pounds?
"Speaking of which, this time we went up the mountain to hunt wild boars, we were all thanks to the Gu family father and son. Gu Yanxiao, that educated youth, has amazing marksmanship. He killed both wild boars with a single shot, shooting them directly into their eyes."
This matter has been the talk of the village all day long, and now the Gu family is very popular in the village.
He can kill a wild boar with one shot. As long as he's around, and if he's willing to go hunting in the mountains, won't the people of Bakushu Village benefit the most?
As Xu Yirou listened to Tong Deliang speak of Gu Yanfei, her admiration undisguised, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This is Gu Yanxiao, a top talent who shines wherever he goes.
In her past life, she was able to be Gu Yanxiao's wife for decades, which was already a blessing from heaven.
In this life, he is completely different from the gloomy, cold, and closed-off person he was in his previous life.
Clearly, all of this was brought about by his wife, Su Xiangwan!
As they were talking, the oxcart arrived at Bakushu Village.
They stopped right in front of the village committee. By then, the two wild boars had already been butchered and the meat had been divided up.
Everyone was all smiles as they carried a string of meat home.
Xu Yirou spotted Gu Yanxiao immediately from the crowd.
At this moment, he was carrying the board of meat that he and his son had been given as a share, walking towards the Gu family's courtyard.
As he passed by the oxcart, he greeted Tong Deliang politely, but didn't even glance at Xu Yirou and Yang Junqing on the oxcart.
"Gu Zhiqing, your family has so much meat, you must not be able to finish it all!" Tong Deliang asked Gu Yanxiao with a smile.
