"You silly boy."
Wang Xuehua glared at her son, exasperated, and said, "It's easy to deal with a girl's anger. Just hug her and give her a couple of kisses, and I guarantee she'll be devoted to you forever..."
"Mom~"
Zhang Ailan's face turned bright red. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's awful."
"Pah, that sounds awful."
Wang Xuehua reached out and poked her forehead, scolding, "You brat, you can only get married after your brother brings his wife back. You're not allowed to date any men casually, do you hear me?"
"I didn't."
Zhang Ailan was so embarrassed that she left after saying those words.
"Hmph, I don't think this brat can stay at home any longer."
Wang Xuehua naturally didn't miss her daughter's shy expression, and knowing full well what was going on, she angrily exclaimed, "Don't even think about getting married early if you don't come up with a hundred yuan dowry."
"Mom, then you should also prepare 100 yuan as a bride price for me."
"What do you mean by a hundred yuan? Thirty yuan would be good enough."
"I don't care, Mom, give me a hundred yuan."
"You idiot, kid! You're offering a dowry of only 100 yuan? Do you think our family is being sucked up?"
"Didn't you want Ailan's in-laws to give 100 yuan as a bride price? Do you think they want to be taken advantage of?"
...
In Lin Jingyu's private plot of land.
He Zhenhua and Wang Hongliang moved the large stone away.
He returned and continued to tidy up the last piece of land for her under the scorching sun, sweating profusely.
"Lin Zhiqing, it's all sorted out."
He Zhenhua wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked softly, "What are you planning to plant? We'll help you plant them."
"No, no thanks."
Lin Jingyu quickly waved her hand, "There's no rush to plant them now. I can plant them after I get some seedlings from work this afternoon."
The two had been busy for half an hour over a small jar of chili sauce.
Even with her thick skin, she couldn't bring herself to make them continue working. "It's getting late, you should go and rest for a while, you'll have to go back to work soon."
"It's okay, we're not tired."
He Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "We'll come over again this evening to help you plant the vegetable seedlings?"
"No, really, it's not necessary."
Lin Jingyu immediately declined their offer of kindness, saying, "I can handle it myself. You've already done me a huge favor. I'll cook something delicious to thank you later."
She refused repeatedly, and He Zhenhua finally gave up.
On their way back.
“I can’t tell!”
Wang Hongliang looked at the person next to him and joked, "Didn't you act a little too early?"
They're still minors, how many years are you planning to wait?
"Don't talk nonsense."
He Zhenhua's eyes flickered, but his expression remained calm. "She's young and it's not easy for her to go to the countryside. We should take extra care of her."
"I don't believe you for a second."
Wang Hongliang had an expression that said, "I already knew it all along." He continued, "To be honest, you have a good eye. Although Lin Zhiqing is young, she is indeed extremely beautiful."
No wonder some people are so jealous of her they're practically going crazy.
"Having wicked intentions."
He Zhenhua knew who he was talking about, and his tone carried a hint of disgust: "Sooner or later, he won't have a good ending."
"Hehe~"
Wang Hongliang grinned slyly, "They're hooking up with one while eyeing another, really wanting more than they have. Aren't they afraid of bursting their stomachs?"
"Mind your own business."
"Tch, why are you meddling in Lin Zhiqing's business?"
"..."
The following days.
Lin Jingyu received a very good amount of money.
After returning from work, instead of busying themselves in their private plots, they would go up the mountain to chop firewood and gather wild fruits.
This day.
“Lin, a sent-down youth, and Lin Jingyu, a sent-down youth.”
The shouts of strangers came from the gate of the educated youth compound.
Lin Jingyu, who was fetching water, looked up at the sound.
I saw a postman riding a 28-inch bicycle calling my name.
"I'm here."
Lin Jingyu immediately put down the bucket and walked over quickly. "Uncle, is there a letter for me?"
"It's a package."
The mailman finally saw the person running towards him.
Upon noticing her young age, a flicker of pity crossed his eyes, and he called out, "You don't need to rush, walk slowly."
"fine."
Lin Jingyu flashed her a bright smile and said, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work."
"Don't mention it, it's my job."
The postman smiled and took a large package from the back seat of his vehicle, handing it to her. "It should be some winter clothes. It's a bit heavy, so please handle it carefully."
Looking at her petite figure, he asked again, "Do you want me to help you take it inside?"
"Thank you, Uncle. I'm strong enough to lift it."
"Okay, sign your name here."
"OK."
Lin Jingyu quickly wrote her signature.
"Your handwriting is really good."
The little girl picked up her pen and wrote in a style as graceful as a dragon and phoenix, prompting the postman to exclaim in admiration.
"Uncle, you flatter me."
"I'm telling the truth. Okay, I'm leaving now!"
"Goodbye, Uncle!"
"goodbye!"
After seeing the postman off, Lin Jingyu carried the large package back to her own yard.
She put the package in her small living room and then went out to fetch water from the well.
After she filled her water tank, she went to the river to fetch water to irrigate her vegetable garden.
I didn't come home to cook until it got dark.
She had a sweet tooth and made a claypot rice dish with Chinese sausage that night, which she ate until she was stuffed.
It was only at this point that she had time to open the package.
Seeing the package on the table, Lin Jingyu felt a mix of emotions.
After all, she wasn't the original owner of this body, and she was unsure how to treat the original owner's family.
