Aunt Li's eyes lit up whenever gossip was mentioned.
"Su, you don't know that Sun, the educated youth. She was wearing a white shirt and it got wet, and everything underneath was clearly visible. She wasn't even wearing a vest! My God! Even Old Yang from our village got a nosebleed from looking at her."
"Auntie, are you telling the truth?"
"Hey, you wouldn't lie to me, would you? Old Yang's wife is practically beating him to death. Hahahaha..."
As she spoke, Aunt Li couldn't help but laugh.
"And then there's Liu Mazi, the notorious old bachelor in our village, who always likes to sneak into widows' houses to watch them bathe. I bet he's getting married soon."
Su Li asked curiously, "What do you mean by that, Auntie?"
“Sun Zhiqing has been seen and touched naked by Liu Mazi, and she has lost her innocence. If she doesn’t marry him, who else can she marry?”
That's what they say, but since Sun Yingzi is so crazy about the male lead, she definitely wouldn't be willing to marry Liu Mazi.
“Auntie is right. But we were by the river today, and I think you heard it too. Sun Yingzi was telling us to go find Xie Feng. Could it be that she jumped into the water because of Xie Feng?”
Aunt Li slapped her thigh and said, "I heard it too, but I didn't think so much about it at the time. Now that you mention it, it's true. Xie Zhiqing is handsome, educated, and from a big city. I don't know how many girls in our village like him. If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely pursue him too."
"I think Sun Zhiqing was targeting Xie Zhiqing. Maybe she dressed like that on purpose to cling to Xie Zhiqing."
As she spoke, Aunt Li's voice suddenly softened. She looked around to make sure no one was watching before quietly saying to Su Li, "Su, you know what? A few days ago, I was trying to relieve myself in the reeds when I overheard Sun confessing her feelings to Xie. Xie rejected her, but Sun shamelessly tried to hug him. She even said she was willing to follow him without any commitment, just asking Xie to treat her well."
"My goodness, I thought back then that the educated youth from the big city really knew how to have fun."
Then he remembered that Su Li was also from a big city, so he quickly tried to cover it up: "Su Zhiqing, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean everyone from big cities, I was just talking about Sun Zhiqing. Luckily Xie Zhiqing pushed her away at the time. I didn't expect this to happen today, almost harming Chen Zhiqing."
"Yes! No matter what schemes Sun Yingzi may have plotted against Xie Zhiqing, she shouldn't have risked other people's lives. Today she almost killed Shengnan. In the water, she was either grabbing at Shengnan's lifeline or pushing her into deeper water. What she did was really too much."
"Who says otherwise? Luckily you reacted quickly and pulled Chen Zhiqing from a different direction, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to get up."
The two chatted until they arrived at Su Li's house. After saying goodbye to Aunt Li, she went back and cooked a large pot of millet and red date porridge.
A drop of spiritual spring water was added inside.
As soon as Zhou Yuting entered the house, she smelled the sweet aroma of red dates. She had taken a day off to buy a pot.
At noon, she went to a state-run restaurant for a big meal and also packed some steamed buns to go.
Therefore, she missed the oxcart that was returning, and wandered around for a while in the afternoon.
Carrying large and small bags, it took us so long to get back.
Her feet were killing her; she'd gotten several blisters on her hands from pulling weeds in the fields these past few days, and she didn't want to live like this for even a day longer.
I put everything away. I'll have to deal with the pot tomorrow. Tonight, I'll just have two meat buns.
The sweet aroma still lingered in the air. If only she hadn't broken up with Su Li before, and the two of them could have eaten together.
If that were the case, she could be enjoying a delicious bowl of red date porridge right now.
Su Li filled a lunchbox with red date and millet porridge.
Having learned her lesson from Zhao Meilan's previous act of stealing her vegetables with her hands, Su Li ladled out all the red date and millet porridge from the pot.
She made a lot, filling three large bowls.
She carried the furniture directly to the room, put it in her spatial storage, locked the door, and just as she stepped out of the yard, she saw Uncle Zhang and Old Li bringing her furniture over in an oxcart.
"Su Zhiqing, your furniture is all ready. Where do you want it placed? Old Li and I will move it for you."
Su Li followed them back to the courtyard and opened the door.
Zhou Yuting also heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. There was a large wardrobe and a desk on the oxcart.
She was even angrier; "Su Li, why didn't you call me when you went to fix the cabinet?"
Su Li genuinely felt that Zhou Yuting had been spoiled like a giant baby by her family; if you didn't ask her to do something, she wouldn't know how to do it herself.
She and Chen Shengnan are the complete opposites.
"Who are you to me? Why should I call you that?"
Su Li retorted and went to open the door.
She instructed Uncle Zhang to place the wardrobe and desk in the locations she specified.
Before the oxcart could finish its journey, Su Li waited in the courtyard for a while, and then they brought over the dining table, chairs, and even the cutting board.
Zhou Yuting was even angrier. Why didn't Su Li invite her? She wasn't short of money.
Otherwise, she could use a wardrobe now; her clothes and belongings have been a complete mess these past few days.
Su Li didn't bother with her spoiled young lady's mood. After arranging the cabinets and tables, she hurriedly headed towards the educated youth settlement.
When she arrived at the educated youth settlement, there were many people gathered at the entrance.
Liu Mazi and Sun Yingzi were pulling and tugging at each other while talking.
Su Li leaned closer and heard Liu Mazi shamelessly say, "Wife, you must have been frightened today. This is a meal I specially made for you. Open it and try it."
Liu Mazi was holding a dark, grimy lunchbox and kept stuffing it into Sun Yingzi's arms.
"Who's your wife? Don't talk nonsense. And take this food aside, I don't need it. Get out of here!"
