Miao Yuanyuan was different from her cousin Miao Guoguo. Her family was extremely patriarchal, and having enough to eat was a luxury. Just not going hungry was considered good enough. So when the notice about sending educated youth to the countryside came down, she signed up.
Compared to her, Miao Guoguo, from her maternal grandfather's large family, was very sweet-talking in front of her elders. Unlike her, who was clumsy with words, she had a fiery personality and said everything. She was good at pleasing people, but also good at causing trouble. She was essentially pushed to the countryside to become an educated youth.
Therefore, Miao Yuanyuan did not want Miao Guoguo to cause any trouble that would implicate her.
She asked for nothing; being hungry was just too unbearable.
Wiping away his sweat, he diligently followed the instructions of the village aunties and worked steadily.
Miao Guoguo was startled and quickly pulled her aside, saying, "I'll listen to you, okay? We don't know anyone in this countryside. What will we do if we don't support each other?"
Miao Yuanyuan didn't say whether she agreed or not, she just kept working.
Miao Guoguo had no choice but to go about her own business. As soon as she turned around, her expression changed and she looked rather unpleasant. It was quite an achievement for her to be able to keep herself from going hungry at home. Those people were just envious of her and deliberately ostracized her from going to the countryside...
Hmph, so what? She's not as naive as Miao Yuanyuan. She thinks that if a woman marries a good man, she'll have everything. She observed on the train that Ai Mingyuan is definitely a good choice—good family background and good character.
The Miao family lived in a small, dilapidated courtyard, crowded with a large group of people. The best they ate was a little thick porridge. But once she married well, she would live a life of luxury.
So now she doesn't regret being ostracized and sent to the countryside. This is another opportunity for her. As long as she seizes this opportunity, she can turn her life around. In the future, those people will just be envious...
She glanced at Miao Yuanyuan and thought, "Hmph, all she does is keep her head down and work. No wonder she has no status at home. Serves her right..."
Shi Lingheng could deal with Ai Mingyuan without even lifting a finger; Ai Mingyuan would be shunned by the villagers and live a difficult life.
He had only been spacing out for a moment when Li Dafu's booming voice roared angrily, "Ai Mingyuan, what are you doing? This isn't a place for you to slack off. Work points aren't for nothing..."
The other workers glanced at Ai Mingyuan upon hearing this, their eyes filled with reproach.
No matter how strong Ai Mingyuan was mentally, all he could do now was mutter, "I know."
After finishing work, Miao Yuanyuan noticed that Miao Guoguo hadn't followed, so she didn't care anymore. Let her do whatever she wanted; she couldn't control that. She had already said what she needed to say.
Meanwhile, Miao Guoguo was sidling up to Ai Mingyuan. If this were still Beidu, Ai Mingyuan would definitely not bother with someone like her. But he had just been provoked, and now the whole village disliked him. He needed Miao Guoguo's flattery to find some sense of existence.
Moreover, Miao Guoguo has a sweet tongue, and she can say all sorts of sweet nothings that she doesn't repeat herself. To be honest, it's quite pleasant to listen to.
The two were walking one after the other when, as they turned a corner, they were suddenly bumped hard by someone. Ai Mingyuan, who was also trained, steadied himself, but his face darkened. He was never one to have a good temper, and he immediately grabbed the person in front of him by the collar: "Are you looking for trouble...?"
Will Zhang Desheng back down?
He's deliberately causing trouble...
He spat and said, "What? Want to fight? I'm just walking along peacefully, what are you doing blocking my way? I'm not afraid of you!"
Without saying a word, the fist went straight for his abdomen.
“I’m telling you, this road belongs to our village, I can walk on it however I want…”
