Hahahaha—
"This is truly the biggest joke I've encountered since I started cutting in line, hahaha—"
"Our noble Comrade Zhao Ru actually married Niu Quangen! Didn't you always look down on the poor farmers here?!"
Liao Yujie leaned against the entrance of the cave dwelling, cracking sunflower seeds while smiling as she watched Zhao Ru return to move things.
"Hey, that Niu Quangen has six sons to support. He's so poor that he even makes his pants out of urea bags. Can you endure the hardship of eating bran and wild vegetables if you marry him?"
No matter how hard the educated youth worked, they were still better off than Niu Quangen's family.
Moreover, if an educated youth marries a local, she will truly take root and settle down in the local area, eliminating any possibility of returning to the city.
Zhao Ru understood this principle perfectly well, but with things having developed to this point, did she still have a choice?
Niu Quangen is now holding her tightly, having his sons take turns watching her every day, as if he's afraid she'll run away.
She said she was going back to the educated youth settlement to pack her things, and Niu Quangen had his fourth son come with her. He's waiting for her on the beam over there now.
Faced with Liao Yujie's sarcastic remarks, Zhao Ru could only bite her lip and remain silent. She quickly packed a small bundle and ran away.
"Why are you running? Why did you marry Niu Quangen? Tell me!" Liao Yujie reached out to grab Zhao Ru, but Zhao Ru dodged her.
Only after Zhao Ru had run far away did Liao Yujie reluctantly withdraw her gaze.
Turning around, I saw Qin Hanshu coming out of the cave dwelling and weeding the vegetable garden.
Liao Yujie was a little scared, but she still sidled over and asked in a gentle voice:
"Qin Hanshu, why did Zhao Ru marry Niu Quangen? What happened when you went to the farm?"
Only the Party Secretary and Accountant Niu knew the full story about the farm; the others only heard rumors.
Other educated youth were fine; they didn't care much about things that didn't concern them. But Liao Yujie was really annoyed.
She also asked Zhang Kangmei and Lin Zhiheng, but they ignored her.
Having no other choice, he mustered up the courage to approach Qin Hanshu.
Qin Hanshu glanced up at her and said, "I don't know."
Liao Yujie took two more steps closer and pleaded, "Please tell me! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Qin Hanshu: "...I don't know."
What else can you say besides "I don't know"?!
Liao Yujie mentally retorted.
Looking at Qin Hanshu's vegetable garden, Liao Yujie also squatted down and started pulling weeds, complimenting, "I must say, you're really good at this; even the weeds in your vegetable garden grow better than others'!"
This time, Qin Hanshu simply stopped responding altogether.
Liao Yujie felt even more itchy when she was ignored.
The story behind this is definitely exciting! There must be some shocking revelation!
Qin Hanshu quickly finished pulling the weeds. As she stood up, she glanced at Liao Yujie, who looked anxious and worried, and couldn't help but say, "Is it really necessary? I don't think Aunt Qi is as inquisitive as you."
Liao Yujie slowly stood up and gave Qin Hanshu a resentful look.
"I want to find out about this before Aunt Qi does, otherwise how can I show her my contempt?"
Qin Hanshu: "......"
She now understood why Liao Yujie was considered the most integrated educated youth in the local area—it was all thanks to the power of gossip.
Liao Yujie looked at Qin Hanshu expectantly, "Please help me, okay? If you help me this once, I'll listen to you in everything from now on!"
Qin Hanshu said slowly, "If I don't help you, do you dare to oppose me?"
Liao Yujie chuckled dryly, "That's not true..."
"The story is too long, I'm too lazy to tell it." Qin Hanshu turned and went back to the cave dwelling.
Liao Yujie stood there, stunned.
The story is too long? That means it must be really exciting! She's even more eager to know!
Liao Yujie reached out and said "Ai" a few times, but in the end she didn't dare to bother Qin Hanshu anymore. She could only stand there and stomp her feet a few times in pain.
What pained Liao Yujie even more was that, just a few days later, the whole story of how Zhao Ru married Niu Quangen came out from Aunt Qi's mouth.
For a time, Zhao Ru and Niu Quangen became the talk of the town in Haowan Village.
Some say Zhao Ru had a hard life. No matter what, she was an educated young woman from the city. Marrying Niu Quangen was not only like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, but she also had to raise his six sons with him.
If her son is filial when he grows up, then all her hard work will have paid off. But if he is not, then she can only live a life of misery.
Some say Niu Quangen was unlucky; a hardworking and honest man married a spoiled educated youth. Putting aside whether the educated youth was easy to raise, her character was questionable.
Stealing things, cuddling with a man before marriage...tsk tsk...what will happen in the future depends entirely on whether Niu Quangen can control this spoiled educated youth.
In the first few days after her marriage, Zhao Ru hardly went out, and didn't even go to work, mainly because she was afraid of being pointed at and gossiped about.
Later, Niu Quangen secured the broadcaster position for Zhao Ru.
It is said that Niu Quangen pleaded with Accountant Niu for a long time, but since they were cousins, Accountant Niu's mother finally spoke up because she couldn't stand it anymore.
Accountant Niu reluctantly gave up the broadcaster's position.
It was originally intended for Qin Hanshu, so he could make a quick buck...
Accountant Niu didn't know that Qin Hanshu had already given up her position as a broadcaster. She just thought that she had broken her promise. Later, when she ran into Qin Hanshu on the street, she was embarrassed and asked Qin Hanshu if she wanted to be a scorekeeper.
Currently, the job of recording work points is being done by Accountant Niu himself. He was originally recording full work points, and no matter what, the team gives him those work points.
If a scorekeeper is assigned, the team will have to pay more work points.
However, in order to compensate Qin Hanshu, Accountant Niu was determined to persuade the Party Secretary to arrange this scorekeeper position!
He can accept fewer gifts from Qin Hanshu.
Qin Hanshu asked about the duties of the scorekeeper and learned that after everyone had finished work, the scorekeeper had to work overtime to record everyone's work points, so she immediately lost interest.
I politely declined Accountant Niu's offer.
Accountant Niu felt that being a scorekeeper was less respectable than being a broadcaster, and that the scorekeeper earned fewer work points. Qin Hanshu looked down on that, so she didn't say anything more.
After becoming a broadcaster, Zhao Ru seemed to have suddenly discovered the benefits of marrying Niu Quangen. She dared to go out and was willing to talk to the people in the team.
She kept her distance from the educated youth, as if she didn't want to have any more contact with them.
Especially with Qin Hanshu, they encountered her several times in the team, and always avoided her when they saw her from afar.
Although Zhao Ru had witnessed Qin Hanshu attack Liao Yujie before, and it seemed impressive, she only thought it was superficial. She believed that Liao Yujie was just too cowardly and that's why she was intimidated.
Through this incident, Zhao Ru realized that Qin Hanshu was not only ruthless, but also cunning and meticulous.
Zhao Ru no longer feels jealous of Qin Hanshu; her only wish is to avoid having any connection with him!
