"The educated youth that Qian Wangcai is pestering is that one named Wang Xue. I heard that Wang Xue's family is very rich. I reckon that Qian Wangcai wants to live off her."
"Ah! How do you know Wang Xue's family is rich?"
Erhua looked at Qian Xiao as if she were an idiot: "Everyone in the village knows about this. That makes sense. You went to school not long after they arrived, so they probably don't know. That educated youth, Wang, was quite flamboyant when he first came."
"I've also heard that many people in our village have taken a liking to Wang Xue, saying that if they could marry Wang, the educated youth, their lives would be much easier."
"Ah! Why was it only Qian Wangcai who went over there?"
"It was my grandfather who told everyone in the village not to try anything with the educated youth. He said it could cause trouble. Besides, these city people will all be going back to the city eventually. What if they abandon their wives and children?"
"Anyway, my grandpa said they don't have to listen to him, but if anything happens, he won't care."
"Grandpa is right. It wasn't easy for the educated youth either. They came so far from home. We may not like them, but we can't bully them."
"Then this is Qian Wangcai?"
"Sigh, who can control this family? My grandfather is too lazy to pay attention to them. Qian Wangcai's mother goes around the village showing off, saying that their son will definitely find a rich woman in the city, and everyone will envy them."
"You know, life is so hard for people these days, why don't they learn their lesson?" Even a child like Erhua couldn't stand the way Qian Wangcai's family did things.
Qian Xiao commented directly: "This is what they call 'a leopard can't change its spots.' If you don't let her eat it, she won't be happy. She'll have a hard time later."
"You're saying the same thing as my grandpa. He also said that the family's hard times are yet to come."
Sun Kaicheng looked over and saw the man named Qian Wangcai.
This was the first time he had ever seen a person in real life. To be honest, he couldn't see any redeeming qualities in this person. He wasn't exactly ugly, but he certainly wasn't good-looking either. The only redeeming quality was that he was a bit fair-skinned.
Perhaps it was because everyone in the village had dark skin that he stood out, but he wasn't a responsible person, and those who were targeted by him were quite unlucky.
Qian Xiao shook his head. This person has already been arrested once, but he still won't stop. Why does he always want to take shortcuts?
After finishing their meal, the group decided to head back. The weather in the dead of winter was really not suitable for chatting outside. As Qian Xiao walked past Wang Xue, who was standing alone to one side, he paused for a moment.
“Qian Wangcai is not a good person. If you can’t handle him, go to the village chief. The village chief will take care of it.”
As a woman of the same gender, Qian Xiao could empathize with the situation. A woman's marriage is truly like a second chance at life. Don't let yourself be blinded by momentary illusions and make the wrong choice, thus ruining your life.
When she saw Qian Xiao approaching, Wang Xue instinctively took two steps back. When Qian Xiao stopped, her heart pounded so hard she felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. She was genuinely afraid that this man would beat her up.
It was only after she had been there a while that she realized how terrifying this person named Qian Xiao was, especially after seeing her covered in blood today, carrying a huge wolf down the mountain. Her legs were trembling.
Upon hearing Qian Xiao's words, Wang Xue didn't know why, but the emotions she had been suppressing suddenly surged up, and tears streamed down her face. This was the first time since the incident at home that someone had cared about her so much.
Even the other educated youth living in the same compound never comforted her like that. It was as if they had instantly severed ties with her. She lived in constant fear, afraid that someone would uncover her background.
Qian Xiao froze for a moment. "Wait, what did I say?" "I didn't say anything. People who don't know better might think I bullied you. What should I do? Should I raise my fist and scare this crybaby?"
If anyone here understands Qian Xiao better than anyone else, it has to be Sun Kaicheng. Sun Kaicheng immediately understood Qian Xiao's dilemma and quickly pulled her away. He was worried that she might actually raise her fist to scare people again, because that could be used as evidence to prove that she was bullying the educated youth.
Qian Xiao looked bewildered: "I really didn't bully her."
Sun Kaicheng nodded: "I know, and everyone knows, maybe that person suddenly thought of something sad."
"Really? My goodness! That startled me. I'll definitely avoid this person from now on."
Qian Xiao is the type of person who responds better to gentleness than force. She would rather this person still be like that proud little rooster from before, stubbornly arguing with her.
Qian Xiao scurried home quickly. "Oh my god, I'm never going to be a good person again. It's much more fun to be a bully."
With teary eyes, Wang Xue looked at Qian Xiao as he walked away, feeling that he wasn't actually that bad. It must have been because of her bad attitude back then that he cursed at her like that.
The people at the educated youth compound saw Wang Xue crying pitifully and gathered around: "Wang Xue, are you alright? Did that person bully you?"
"Yes, tell us and we'll ask the village chief to make a decision."
"Don't be too sad. We're all partners. We'll help you if you need anything."
Even Qin Lian came over to speak: "How can you be so useless? Where did all your former abilities go? If you don't become more capable, you'll always be bullied in the future."
Wang Xue stared blankly at these people who usually ignored her, now all coming to comfort her. Could it be that she had misjudged them, and that these people weren't distancing themselves from her because of her status?
She really misunderstood. These people all had their own little tempers, but none of them were really bad. After learning about Wang Xue's family situation, everyone felt sorry for her.
However, when Wang Xue first arrived, she was really too flamboyant and caused a lot of trouble. Everyone was afraid that they might say something that would cause her to misunderstand. It wouldn't be good if things got too ugly since they were all living together. But in their daily lives, they really took care of Wang Xue in a lot of small ways.
In other words, Wang Xue was so engrossed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice.
Seeing Wang Xue's dazed look, Qin Lian pulled her back. It seemed that she was still immersed in her own affairs. If you don't explain it to her clearly, she will never understand it in her lifetime.
They've already come all this way, and it's impossible for them to go back anytime soon. They can't keep getting along like this with a grudge in their hearts; to this village, they are outsiders.
Only by uniting can they stand together against external threats and do their best to make the most of this unfamiliar place.
Back at the educated youth compound, everyone sat together. Qin Lian explained things to Wang Xue in detail. Wang Xue was a bit spoiled and naive, but definitely not stupid. After the incident at home, her spoiled temper disappeared without any medicine.
