Although the original owner did not know that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in 1977, nor did she know that the educated youth would return to the city later, she did know that Qin Yunting would not leave so soon after arriving in the countryside.
Although Qin Yunting wasn't completely incapable of lifting heavy loads, marrying his daughter wouldn't bring him much benefit.
The most important point is that the original owner could see that Qin, the educated youth, had taken a liking to Gu Baobao from the Gu family.
Who couldn't see Qin Yunting's special feelings for Gu Baobao?
In other words, some girls who were blinded by Qin Yunting's conditions and his appearance thought they could replace Gu Baobao in Qin Yunting's heart and were unwilling to simply "let go" of the two of them.
Although the original owner did not insist that her daughter marry Qin Yunting, she did want her daughter to marry someone better than Gu Baobao.
Isn't he just a son-in-law from the city?
She'll definitely be able to find it.
"Isn't it obvious to anyone with eyes that Qin Zhiqing has a special feeling for Gu Baobao? They've only just started dating."
Chen Suwen remembered that in the original owner's memories, Qin Yunting had been in a flirtatious relationship with Gu Baobao for less than half a month after he went to the countryside.
Qin Yunting treats Gu Baobao differently, and Gu Baobao also likes him. Their ambiguous back-and-forth is so sweet that it's sickening to watch.
It's been almost a year since Qin Yunting went to the countryside, and they've only just started dating?
Xu Pan'er smiled after hearing Chen Suwen's question, her expression somewhat strange. "People want to enjoy the process of pursuing someone. It's about free love, and the most important thing is the process of pursuing and falling in love."
Chen Su asked, "...Oh."
Chen Suwen was too lazy to care how ambiguous or pretentious the relationship between Gu Baobao and Qin Yunting was; after all, it was none of her business if they were dating.
"Cunzhi's mom, what brings you out to play?"
A voice that Chen Suwen instinctively disliked rang out. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw the figure of the person who had always been at odds with her in the original owner's memories.
She had just been talking to Xu Pan'er about Gu Baobao's biological mother, Comrade Wang Hongmei.
"I heard your Zhou Ling is sick? How is she? I heard she was hit on the head by human traffickers. Could it leave her with some kind of lasting injury, or even make her stupid?"
"Your Zhou Ling is so smart and does well in her studies. What if she gets beaten silly? Will she still be able to get married?"
"Unlike our baby, who is exceptionally beautiful, the most beautiful girl in the surrounding area."
“Look at our baby, she’s already dating a young man from Beijing who was sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. After she gets married, she’ll go back to the city with her husband, and my daughter will be a Beijing resident.”
Wang Hongmei looked smug, particularly proud of her daughter dating a former educated youth from Beijing.
Chen Suwen couldn't stand her smug look and sneered, "You said it yourself, your daughter's boyfriend is an educated youth from Beijing, and his family is said to be very well-off."
"Tell me, what did they see in your daughter? Was it just her face?"
“My daughter Aling is good at studying and smart. Although she is not as pretty as your daughter, she is not bad either.”
The original couple were quite good-looking, and their children were all handsome men and beautiful women. Although Zhou Ling's appearance was not as good as Gu Baobao's, it was only slightly inferior.
If Gu Baobao is the number one beauty in the Brightness Brigade, then Zhou Ling is the third.
Yes, not first or second, but third.
Zhou Ling is not bad-looking, but Gu Baobao and Zhou Yuxue are both better looking than her, so she ranks third.
However, Zhou Ling's conditions were not bad. From the age of sixteen, many people came to her door wanting to introduce her to potential partners, and after graduating from high school, many people still came to her door to propose marriage.
However, the first original owner didn't like it, and the second Zhou Ling didn't like it either, which is why it's been delayed until now.
"What exactly does your future son-in-law see in your daughter? Is it that she has never done any housework and can't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and grass seedlings?"
"When you took a liking to your daughter, she failed her exams?"
When Gu Baobao was in elementary school, she was able to get good grades. But after she entered junior high school, she kept fluctuating around the passing mark in several subjects.
After entering high school, I failed even more subjects.
Gu Baobao isn't stupid; she just has a serious imbalance in her studies. Perhaps she's had a smooth life since birth and hasn't faced much pressure, so she doesn't study very hard.
In addition, teachers in schools are now somewhat paranoid, teaching with trepidation, and are not as serious about their teaching.
Therefore, Gu Baobao's grades were not very good, hovering in the middle to lower ranks, and she couldn't compare with Zhou Ling, who was a top student.
"Tell me, what exactly does your future son-in-law see in your daughter?"
Chen Suwen was genuinely curious.
Actually, Gu Baobao isn't without her merits; the fact that so many people like her is commendable. But Qin Yunting, a wealthy young master from Beijing who has seen so many outstanding women, why did he fall for Gu Baobao?
Perhaps you've had too much fancy food and now crave some simple congee and side dishes?
"You're just jealous! My baby's doing just fine!"
Wang Hongmei absolutely forbids anyone from saying anything bad about her precious daughter.
In fact, Wang Hongmei herself was somewhat sexist, after all, her family was even more sexist than Xu Pan'er, who named her child "Pan'er".
Wang Hongmei was brainwashed by her parents from a young age and believed that sons were the root and daughters were just weeds, and that daughters should always sacrifice for their brothers.
For example, she treats her brothers and nephews from her maternal family better than her own son.
But she made an exception for her daughter, Gu Baobao.
