“Who says otherwise? My useless husband is the same. It’s infuriating to compare yourself to others. I wonder who will be lucky enough to have such a wonderful person as Comrade Gu.”
Su Ying smiled lightly, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the man who was pretending to be deep and profound.
Even though people were praising him so much, he didn't show any expression on his face.
As Su Ying was sizing up the man, Gu Sinian's eyes met hers, and their gazes met in mid-air like silk threads.
"Maybe Qiao, the educated youth, has already hooked up with Comrade Gu. The two of them are quite a good match."
The young woman looked disapproving. "I don't agree with your opinion. Although Qiao Zhiqing is not bad looking, she is not a good match for Comrade Gu. The two of them are not a good match in terms of appearance at all."
"Although Qiao is a year younger than Comrade Gu, the two of them look like siblings when they stand together, while she and that capitalist's daughter look like a perfect match, like a golden couple."
"Exactly! I agree with you. It's true, the more you look at them, the better they seem."
"When they hold their banquet, I must sit at the head table. I was the first person to predict that they would become a couple, so I deserve this treatment."
"Yes, yes, yes. Hahaha... We'll sit at the head table together then..."
Qiao Xiyan had reached her breaking point listening to the back-and-forth banter among the village women.
What terrible taste! They actually said she and Gu Sinian looked like siblings when they stood together. Gu Sinian is a year older than her. These people's eyes should be gouged out and fed to the dogs. They can't even see things clearly.
How could Gu Sinian possibly be with that slut who only knows how to seduce other women's fiancés? What kind of eyes do you have? What a load of rubbish!
He stepped forward and slapped each of the two gossipy women hard across the face.
Everyone was stunned.
“We dared to fight the two troublemakers in our Willow Tree Village, this new educated youth Qiao is something else.”
"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, so it is fearless. Who would dare to provoke them after experiencing their power? I think Qiao Zhiqing is going to suffer a bit today."
The educated youth, always eager for a good show, covered their mouths and chuckled, "Looks like there's going to be a good show today."
"Yes, yes, yes. I thought I was going to be exhausted and work like a dog on the mountain today, but who would have thought there would be such a wonderful interlude? It was really exciting."
"That's awesome! Let's make a bet and see who wins today!"
"Although Qiao Zhiqing looks gentle and weak, the way she was beating people just now shows that she's an experienced fighter, a real expert. I'll give away my cornbread from lunch as a prize. I bet Qiao Zhiqing will win."
"I'm betting on the two troublemakers from Willow Village. Let's place a wager."
"Qiao, the educated youth, was outnumbered and outmatched. How could he possibly defeat two rural women who had been doing farm work for a long time?"
"You can't say that. The way Qiao Zhiqing fought shows that she's trained. I heard she's from a high-ranking family and has received martial arts training since childhood, which is a big advantage."
Su Ying had no interest in this boring fighting game. She glanced helplessly at Gu Sinian and saw that he also looked uninterested. She then quietly covered her mouth with her hand to muffle her voice.
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have approached the captain in front of everyone and caused all this trouble. Now both sides are at odds. I hope something bad will happen?"
"Don't worry. These kinds of fights happen all the time in small groups, it's nothing new. Sun Xuelin will clean up the mess."
Su Ying pointed to Sun Xuelin, who was standing to the side, rubbing his chin and watching with great interest, looking like someone who loved watching the drama unfold. She sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
"Is this man really the captain's son?"
Gu Sinian had a genuine expression on his face. He had deliberately approached Sun Xuelin because Sun was the captain's son.
His brothers couldn't connect with him or have fun together, so Sun Xuelin was the only one who was somewhat acceptable.
He is honest, kind, principled, adaptable, and quick-witted, making him a good friend.
If you need his help in a critical moment, he'll actually step up; he's not some worthless, fake friend.
He quite enjoyed playing with him and was willing to share some of his benefits with him, so the two got along quite well.
"It's the real deal. Of all the captain's sons, only Sun Xuelin resembles him. On the surface, the captain treats them all equally, but the scales always tip in Sun Xuelin's favor."
"Didn't you want to see the battalion commander? I'll take you there; I know where he is right now."
Su Ying pointed to the uncontrollable scene, "What about them?"
"Sun Xuelin will handle it."
Her original intention was to solve the problem of these yellow peach trees, not to compete with them on the mountain.
"Let's go."
Gu Sinian instinctively tried to grab Su Ying's hand, but she shook him off. "Be careful. If someone sees us, I'll become the subject of everyone's gossip again."
Helpless, Gu Sinian couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance, so he withdrew his hand and led the way, with Su Ying following closely behind as they descended the mountain.
