"I'm not that stupid, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing Zhang Zeyu's response, Song Lili said, "I won't say anything more. He knows it in his heart."
Otherwise, she would still have to worry about what problems her cousin might have, so it's better to remind him in advance.
In the afternoon, Song Lili sat with Zhang Qinghua again, and the two chatted occasionally, having a very happy and pleasant afternoon.
Both of them were used to farm work, and although they were talking, it didn't slow down their work. I guess the others were the same.
On this day, most of the seeds had been picked, which made Yang Weimin and Li Weiguo grin from ear to ear.
Everyone works diligently and conscientiously, so efficiency is naturally high. With such a group of people, there are fewer troubles. How could these two not be happy?
"We'll collect more tomorrow, that should be enough. Everyone's worked hard today, so go home now."
"It'll be done at this time tomorrow morning too," Yang Weimin announced happily.
"Really? That's great! Does that mean I'll be free this afternoon? That way I can go to my parents' house."
"Oh, is that possible? Then I'll be free this afternoon. I can finally rest."
"Then I can go up the mountain and run a lap."
Hearing Yang Weimin's words, many people also expressed their happiness.
Everyone was in a good mood, so their words were filled with joy, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
The night passed quietly. The next day, Song Lili got up at her usual time and made breakfast.
After getting ready, he took Song Fang to the square. Without a doubt, she was still among the first group of people there.
However, she was somewhat surprised to see several former educated youths here today.
"Why are you all here so early today?" Song Lili asked Zhang Zeyu, somewhat puzzled. These people were the last to arrive yesterday.
"It was Chu Ci who stirred things up," Zhang Zeyu said with a hint of helplessness.
I don't know what got into Chu Ci, but early in the morning, when it was just getting light, he started shouting and yelling in the courtyard, waking everyone up.
Then, Chu Ci said that they were late yesterday, and they had to go early today so that everyone could see their efforts.
And here they are now! They're even sleepy enough to yawn.
Song Lili was speechless. How could Chu Ci, that lunatic, do such a thing?
"Isn't this too early? Can they even hold on?"
Although I didn't do any heavy work yesterday, I still worked all day. People who haven't done that before would still feel very uncomfortable.
"It's alright, I can accept it." Zhang Zeyu's expression wasn't very good, but he could still bear it.
"Well... let's just eat at home then." Zhang Zeyu thought to himself that cooking for himself again would be too much work.
Let's just go home. Anyway, with Zhang Zeyu here, home is fine too.
She had money, so even if the food supply ran low, she could ask Wang Daming for help. Therefore, she didn't mind adding Zhang Zeyu as well.
"Okay," Zhang Zeyu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
He hasn't received much grain at all, and the village even advanced the grain for him; he has to return it.
Given his current situation, he probably won't get much grain when it's distributed, so he's worried about not having enough to eat.
Let's just consider it borrowing from my cousin's house for now. Once he's familiar with the place, becomes more skilled, and receives more grain, we'll return it.
Song Lili had no idea what Zhang Qinghua was thinking. Even if she did know, she would definitely object, because she was confident and didn't care.
Seeing that Zhang Zeyu had agreed, he prepared to leave. "Okay, just remember that."
"Oh, so you're trying to curry favor with us because we're from the city? Don't you even know your own worth?" Suddenly, a sharp voice rang in my ears.
Song Lili hadn't originally intended to pay any attention, but judging from the tone of those words, it seemed like they were looking down on the old farmer.
Turning to look, he saw a girl with a sallow complexion and a somewhat sharp and mean-spirited appearance staring at him.
Song Lili was speechless. Was this person trying to curry favor with her?
"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? You country bumpkin, have you never seen someone from the city before? Are you envious?" The girl was still glaring at Song Lili.
Song Lili looked at the girl calmly. She knew the girl; she was one of the educated youth, and her name seemed to be Wang Shan.
But what did she do to offend Wang Shan? How could she make her say such awful things?
Are you talking about me?
"Who else could it be but you? Who else is here besides you, a country bumpkin? Tsk tsk tsk, what are you wearing? We don't even use cloths like that for our rags." Wang Shan said, curling her lips in disdain.
Song Lili remained calm at this moment, but she was a little confused. She seemed to have no grudge against Wang Shan.
Then why did she say such hurtful things?
"You really are so unsophisticated. Look at you, you'll be laughed at to death if you go out like this." Wang Shan looked at Song Lili arrogantly, just waiting for Song Lili to come over and flatter her.
But Song Lili wouldn't let her have her way. "If you can't speak, then shut up. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
For a moment, Song Lili's eyes became somewhat deep. A city dweller? Is that so noble?
"You... what did you say?" Wang Shan was waiting for Song Lili to come over and flatter her, but she didn't expect to hear such words. She was stunned and couldn't react.
Then came the rising anger: "What did you say?"
"Is your hearing bad too? Are you deaf?" Song Lili stared at Wang Shan with a cold look in her eyes. This kind of person did not deserve her gentle treatment.
"Shut up! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?" Wang Shan roared angrily.
“I don’t care who you are. All I know is that you’re an educated youth who came here, no different from us. You’re here to work just like those people you look down on,” Song Lili said with a hint of sarcasm.
Looking down on farmers? Well, aren't you just like them now, with your feet in the mud and your face to the earth, working the land like us?
Look down on us? Then you should look down on yourselves first.
"You..." Wang Shan was furious. "You country bumpkin, how dare you talk like that? I'll teach you a lesson."
Wang Shan was furious. Her reason had long since left her mind, and all she wanted to do was teach Song Lili a lesson.
She was ridiculed by someone she looked down on, which made Wang Shan feel very bad and unable to accept it.
In her mind, she was superior, and those with wrinkled, filthy skin should be inferior to her.
We should humbly grovel at her feet, fawn over her, flatter her, and treat her like a god; that's the right thing to do.
But now, that lowly person actually dared to speak to her like that, actually dared to mock her, which made her furious.
