Most of the villagers came to watch the spectacle, and judging from Lin Qingyu's words, they knew she didn't know either.
In the end, Lin Qingyu herself went forward and helped Wu Lili up from the ground, and leaned her against the corner of the wall.
She even opened her water bottle and splashed some cold water on Wu Lili, who then slowly woke up.
Wu Lili opened her eyes and saw so many people surrounding her. She immediately raised her hands to cover her face.
He was saying something like, "Don't come any closer! Get away from me, you beast!"
She even stood up excitedly and pushed the person standing in front of her, almost knocking Lin Qingyu over.
However, someone behind Lin Qingyu helped her up, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Lin Qingyu turned her head to see who was standing behind her, and saw Gu Shi instead.
He had a cold expression on his face, along with his short hair.
"Thank you!" Lin Qingyu said, then took a step to the side, keeping a little distance from him.
There were just too many people around, so Lin Qingyu couldn't stay too close to Gu Shi, or gossip would spread.
Gu Shi didn't seem to care. He simply told Lin Qingyu, "Be careful."
When the onlookers saw that Wu Lili had woken up but was acting crazy, they thought she was possessed by some evil spirit.
A few of the bolder people quickly stepped forward, pinned her to the ground, and said, "We need to find Granny Wang from the next village to take a look at her!"
Several more people chimed in, "That's right, that's right, how did Wu Zhiqing turn out like this?"
Only then did someone come out of the educated youth settlement.
The group of educated youths walked slowly, unaware that Wu Lili had spent the night there.
"Why are there so many people? I was wondering what was going on. Isn't that Wu Lili? What's she doing lying here?"
Lin Qingyu repeated what she had just said to the group of educated youth, and the female educated youth who had spoken earlier then chimed in.
"No, Wu Lili didn't stay here last night, and we didn't hear anything."
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a family living next to the educated youth settlement, whose large dog suddenly started barking.
Wu Lili, on the ground, screamed even more frantically, "Don't come any closer! Get away! Get out of here!"
Seeing this, everyone realized that Wu Lili must have been frightened by the dog, but they didn't know whose dog it was.
There aren't many families in the village that keep dogs now. After all, in this era when even people can't get enough to eat, keeping a dog is a luxury.
Several kind-hearted girls took Wu Lili to the village clinic, the same clinic where Lin Qingyu had her wound bandaged yesterday.
Lin Qingyu didn't go with them; he went directly to find his mother. He had no time to concern himself with Wu Lili's affairs.
Earning more work points will make her mother less tired.
Moreover, her younger brother was rather weak and was rarely allowed to work in the fields, so she had to work even harder.
Most girls his age are married with children; there are very few who are unmarried.
So when Gu Shi came to propose marriage a few days ago, her mother agreed.
With the five hundred yuan that Gu Shi gave them, the family's life was able to improve a little.
Lin Qingyu went to her mother's side and worked with her.
It's mid-May now, and the weather is very cool. Everyone is planting crops like eggplants and peppers in the fields.
Lin Qingyu said to Li Xiuhua, "I thought about it yesterday, and Gu Shi is indeed a man worth marrying."
Li Xiuhua stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Lin Qingyu. In fact, she had noticed the gauze on Lin Qingyu's forehead yesterday.
She deliberately didn't ask because she had already heard the rumors in the village that Lin Qingyu didn't want to marry Gu Shi, which was why she staged that incident.
However, when she got home yesterday, she saw that Lin Qingyu seemed perfectly normal, so she deliberately didn't ask.
Seeing Lin Qingyu calmly discussing her marriage, Li Xiuhua actually felt quite sorry for Lin Qingyu.
However, the family's circumstances were such that Lin Qingyu's younger brother, Lin Weidong, was in poor health and often needed to take medicine, which was also a considerable expense.
Moreover, Lin Weidong is basically unable to work and is still in school.
With this subsidy, the family's life has improved significantly.
"It's good that you've thought it through. It's not that I don't care about you, but you know our family's situation. I have no other choice!"
After the matter was discussed openly, Li Xiuhua relaxed a lot and worked even harder.
Under normal circumstances, for a woman like Li Xiuhua, it would be quite good if she could grow five or six centimeters a day.
But Li Xiuhua's husband was unreliable. He often went out drinking every day, and he was also physically disabled, so he couldn't earn many work points.
So she did mostly the work that men did, earning ten work points a day. She was known in Pear Blossom Village as the most capable woman.
As soon as Lin Qingyu returned home after dark, she volunteered to cook.
While her mother was working outside, she would sneak into her own space while she was alone in the kitchen.
I was thinking of something I could take out for my family to eat, but without them easily finding out.
After thinking about it, he decided to take out the purple rice porridge.
When Lin Qingyu entered her own space, she had a strange feeling that she couldn't quite describe.
When she got to a more secluded spot, she suddenly remembered that there hadn't been a door here yesterday.
Yesterday it was a closed space, but today there is suddenly a door.
She reached out and pushed, but couldn't budge it. This series of changes made her wary.
Lin Qingyu didn't know the reason why all this was happening, but this space seemed to be evolving, or rather, upgrading.
Li Xiuhua was still working outside, so Lin Qingyu didn't dare to linger. She grabbed two cans of purple rice porridge and hurried out.
Put the contents of the jar into the pot so that the porridge isn't too thin, but also not too thick either, and then put the jar back into the space.
With the addition of purple rice porridge, this pot of cornmeal porridge also becomes delicious.
Lin Qingyu had also prepared her explanation, after all, Gu Shi had given so much in betrothal gifts, as well as some other things.
Eating such a small amount of food will not arouse any suspicion.
During the meal, Lin Qingyu's grandmother glanced at her and said disdainfully.
"Didn't you refuse to marry me back then, even if it meant dying? How come you've changed your mind after just one bump on the head?"
Lin Qingyu didn't say anything. Zhao Hongxia was an elder, and Li Xiuhua felt sorry for her daughter, so she spoke to her grandmother.
"Isn't this a good thing? Mother, you should be content. If we were relying on patriotism, we wouldn't even be able to afford this thick porridge."
Zhao Hongxia snorted coldly, but thankfully didn't say anything more.
Lin Weidong glanced at his sister and knew what they meant.
He also felt sorry for Lin Qingyu.
