"Lin Qingqing, how much did it cost to build your house?"
"Lin Zhiqing, you look so young, how did you become a substitute teacher?"
"Lin, we've just arrived at the educated youth compound and we don't have anything. Can we borrow some things from you to take back with us?"
"Lin Zhiqing, I heard you have a lot of vegetables in your garden. Would you mind if we picked some to eat?"
"Lin Zhiqing, we'd like to go to town tomorrow, could we borrow your bicycle?"
“Lin Zhiqing, I heard it’s hard to buy grain, right? Could you lend me some grain? I’ll pay you back once I’ve earned enough work and received my share.”
"Lin Zhiqing, does the school need substitute teachers? I also graduated from high school, so I can go to the school to be a teacher."
...
They chattered away incessantly.
Just when Lin Jingyu was about to lose her temper, Yang Shujue finally managed to coax her away.
After watching them completely enter the front yard, Yang Shujue collapsed.
“These people are really…”
Even the usually hospitable Yang Shujue couldn't handle these people's bizarre demands. "This is the first time I've ever met such shameless people."
"That's truly shameless."
Peng Shi ran out in a huff, "How dare they pick vegetables from our garden? Do we owe them something?"
"What's the big deal about trying to pick our vegetables?"
Chen Xinyue couldn't help but complain, "Several of them want to borrow money or food from us, as if we, the educated youth who came first, should be taken care of."
“These people…”
Lin Jingyu sighed softly, "If we can avoid them, we should stay as far away as possible. Anyway, we don't have to work with them. As for unreasonable demands, we should just refuse them."
Although I only had a brief encounter with these people, I could tell that they came from very ordinary backgrounds.
As for manners and sense of propriety, I'm afraid I've never even heard of them.
He's so brazen about taking other people's things; there's bound to be even more bizarre things to come.
"We're alright."
Yang Shujue suddenly became gloating, "Qiuyue wants to hang out with them all the time, I wonder if she can stand it."
"If you can't stand it, build your own house to live in."
Peng Shiyu suggested, "If she and He Zhiqing are dating and get married, they will definitely need to build a new house to live in. Since the front yard is so messy now, they should just build the house and move out as soon as possible."
"That would be acceptable."
Yang Shujue agreed wholeheartedly, "She definitely couldn't stand those people."
"They'll handle their own affairs."
Lin Jingyu glanced at the sky and said, "Shujue, you and Su Zhiqing eat first. You two will go help out tonight."
The three of us stayed in the courtyard, just in case someone sneaked in without us even noticing.
"No way."
Peng Shiyu was a little incredulous, "How dare they?"
"Never underestimate anyone, and never trust people easily."
Lin Jingyu said frankly, "Different people are like rice. Just because you won't do something doesn't mean others won't. It's better to be prepared."
"Jingyu is right."
Chen Xinyue said, "They didn't want to leave just now, and their words implied that we rich people should help these people in distress."
The fact that they can utter such shameless words so matter-of-factly shows that some people have no moral compass, and it's no wonder they do such outrageous things.
"You'd better not do anything reckless, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Peng Shiyu frowned. "However, we do need to be careful about some things."
"From now on, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."
Lin Jingyu didn't want to talk about these unpleasant things anymore. "Shiyu, you and the young lady go and deliver food to Third Grandfather and Grandpa Sun."
Shujue, hurry up and eat your food with Su Zhiqing. I'll trouble you to help out at the cowshed tonight.
I've packed everything up and put it in the basket. You can carry it over after you've eaten.
"good."
"We'll go right away."
"no problem."
The three nodded immediately and followed the instructions.
They were all busy with their own things.
Back in the front yard, the newly arrived educated youth started arguing again about making dinner.
However, none of this has anything to do with Lin Jingyu.
Cheng family in the county town.
Cheng Haifeng returned home in the dark.
He immediately saw his father's gloomy face.
He was so startled that he almost turned around and ran out the door.
"If you dare to run again, I will definitely break your legs."
Cheng Nanxing saw through his son's thoughts at a glance and immediately warned him, "You're going to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair."
"Dad, Mom~"
Cheng Haifeng's palms were sweaty. He slowly walked over and asked with a fawning smile, "Have you eaten yet?"
"How can we eat if you're not back?"
Cheng Nanxing sneered, "Tell me honestly what you went to Yucha Town for. If you lie even a little bit, then you'll see how tough you are."
"Dad, I didn't do anything."
A hint of resentment flashed in Cheng Haifeng's eyes, and he couldn't help but blame Huo Shaogang for secretly reporting him.
"If you didn't go anywhere, why would you bring a bunch of random people to the police station to find your Brother Gangzi?"
Cheng Nanxing didn't believe a word his son said. "If you don't explain what happened today clearly to me, you can forget about leaving the house again."
"no."
Cheng Haifeng instinctively retorted.
Meeting his father's cold gaze, he couldn't help but swallow again. "Dad, I really didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, I got beaten up. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Gangzi next time."
"I don't care whether you're the one getting hit or the one hitting others."
Cheng Nanxing wasn't going to let him off the hook. "In short, you need to explain things clearly yourself."
