Yuan Shuo thought his niece was recalling unhappy memories, so he quickly comforted her, "Jiaojiao! From now on, your uncle and aunt will support you. If you encounter any problems, be sure to tell us immediately."
Su Jiaojiao nodded, looking earnestly at Yuan Shuo and Li Qin; "Okay, I'll tell you everything from now on. But Uncle and Aunt, could you grant me one request?"
Li Qin smiled and said, "Tell me, as long as your uncle and I can do it, we'll agree."
"I used to be neighbors with Su Li, and I also know about how she stole my boyfriend and helped me sign up for the rural service program. Could you please keep this a secret? I don't want people to know how useless I am. I'm afraid they'll look at me with prejudice. I'll try to stay away from Su Li in the future and avoid provoking her. Maybe then she'll let me go."
Actually, when Yuan Shuo and Li Qin came, they wanted to make a big scene so that Su Li would be too ashamed to stay here any longer.
The best outcome would be to be criticized and denounced by superiors and sent to a farm.
But they never expected that Su Jiaojiao didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
The two women exchanged a glance, and Li Qin patted Su Jiaojiao's hand, saying, "It's Su Li who made the mistake. You shouldn't blame yourself for her mistake. Jiaojiao, do you really not want to make a big deal out of this? If this matter gets out of hand, Su Li might not be able to stay in the village anymore, and she won't have the chance to bully you again."
Su Jiaojiao nodded; "Aunt, I know you mean well, but I don't want to make a big fuss about it. It's really not necessary."
Yuan Shuo glanced at his wife, then smiled at Su Jiaojiao and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Uncle, you're so kind."
Li Qin glanced at her watch and said to Su Jiaojiao, "We need to hurry back to cook, so we'll head back now. If you ever go to town, feel free to come over."
Yuan Shuo took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao glanced at it briefly; it looked like quite a few, probably around a hundred or eighty.
She pretended to decline, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, I know you have a hard life and have to support your younger siblings' schooling. I can't accept this money."
Li Qin snatched the money and shoved it into Su Jiaojiao's hand, saying, "We're family, why be so polite? Just take it. You're a young girl, keep it to buy some new clothes."
After giving the money to Su Jiaojiao, the two walked out of the educated youth settlement.
Su Jiaojiao saw the person off at the village entrance before swaying back to her dormitory. When no one was around, she counted the money Dong Shuo had given her.
It cost about one hundred yuan in total, plus sugar coupons, grain coupons, meat coupons...
Su Jiaojiao's lips curled up high; Su Li, if you knew that your own uncle, aunt, cousin, and cousin-sister all despise you.
But you gave me all the good things. I wonder if you can still be as happy as you are now? I really look forward to the day the truth is revealed, and what your expression will be.
Li Qin and Yuan Shuo came today not only to visit Su Jiaojiao, but also mainly to warn Su Li.
Tell her to stop bullying their little darling.
They had only pretended to leave the village to avoid worrying Su Jiaojiao, so after she left, they returned to the village.
The two were pushing their cart into the village when they saw a young woman coming towards them.
Li Qin stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Comrade, hello, I'd like to ask if you know where Su Li lives?"
"Su Li?"
Jiang Meifang glanced at the person in front of her; he was wearing a cashmere sweater with a wool coat over it.
At first glance, you can tell that the family is well-off.
He glanced again at the man behind the woman.
Even though the man is middle-aged, you can still tell that he was quite good-looking when he was young.
Could these two be wealthy relatives of Su Li?
"Yes! We want to go see her about something."
"Are you her relatives?"
Li Qin didn't want people to misunderstand that Su Li was her relative; she would be furious if she had such a relative.
"No, it's just that our child had a minor disagreement with her, so we came to talk to her."
"Oh, I see! She's not home at this time; she should be up in the mountains."
Yuan Shuo asked疑惑地, "What is she doing on the mountain? Picking mushrooms?"
Jiang Meifang said with a hint of jealousy, "She cooks for the mining soldiers in our village on the mountain."
How did such a good job end up in her hands?
"Young comrade, could you lead us up the mountain to find her? I'll give you a dollar for the trip."
Jiang Meifang had wanted to take a break, but she was exhausted from gathering firewood these past two days, having to gather enough firewood for two people.
I never expected that she would encounter such a wonderful thing.
She quickly agreed with a smile.
The three of them hurried up the mountain together, and Li Qin subtly inquired about Su Li's situation from Jiang Meifang.
"Comrade, are you familiar with that Su Li? What kind of person is she?"
Jiang Meifang had already sensed Li Qin's dislike for Su Li, and she didn't mind adding more negative comments to her.
"It's her own fault for trying to be nice to her but being ignored. She can't blame her now." Su Li just came to this area from the countryside this year. She doesn't even acknowledge people when you talk to her. Auntie, I don't usually talk about people behind their backs, but it's her! She's really gone too far. She speaks very harshly and always bullies and looks down on people.
Upon hearing this, Li Qin and Dong Shuo became even more convinced that Su Li was a bad seed, and they would definitely give her a good warning when they went upstairs.
If she dares to bully Jiaojiao behind her back again, they will find someone to teach her a lesson.
An hour later, the three of them went up the mountain. Jiang Meifang led them to their destination and then they came down the mountain.
These two were clearly here to cause trouble for Su Li, and she didn't want Su Li to deal with her too.
Li Qin and Yuan Shuo could see wisps of smoke rising from chimneys in the distance, and the air was filled with a delicious aroma.
They were surprised by how delicious the food was; it was already noon, and they were quite hungry.
Only when you get closer do you see that there are two very simple stoves set up there.
A girl with a veil around her face was stir-frying vegetables, and another girl was tending a fire.
Two old women were chopping vegetables nearby.
It seems that Su Li must be one of those two young girls.
Li Qin stepped forward and shouted to the group, "Which of you is Su Li?"
Su Li, who was cooking, glanced at the woman and it took her a while to remember that this was the woman from the house where Su Jiaojiao had knocked on the door in town last time.
What does she want from me?
Aunt Li looked up at the two people and assumed they were some kind of relatives of Su Li. After all, their clothes didn't look like those of ordinary villagers.
But how could she not recognize a relative? She walked up to Su Li.
"Go and see what's coming up for you. I'll cook the last two dishes."
Su Li handed the spatula to Aunt Li and walked towards the middle-aged couple.
"You're looking for me?"
Yuan Shuo looked Su Li up and down. Her entire face was almost covered by a veil, with only her large almond-shaped eyes showing.
