When Su Ying woke up in the morning, Su Yan and other educated youth had already gone to work in the fields.
It is not yet the busy farming season, but the fields need to be watered.
Su Yan had already prepared breakfast, so Su Ying and Jiang Yue could eat it as soon as they got up.
"How did you sleep last night?" Jiang Yue asked Su Ying with concern when he saw her.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in this countryside, and many people are crowded in one room, which is stuffy and hot.
He himself was fine. The living conditions at Zhao Hongmei's house were even worse than this before, and he had long been used to it.
But Su Ying had never suffered such hardship before, so Jiang Yue was worried that she would not be able to adapt.
"Luckily, I had the purse Liu Baozhu gave me. Apart from feeling a bit hot last night, I slept well."
Speaking of this, Su Ying was very grateful to Liu Baozhu for the mosquito repellent purse she gave her. She would ask her to buy a few more later so that Jiang Yue and her second brother could also use them.
After the two of them had dinner, Su Ying saw someone selling mung beans at the entrance of the village yesterday, so she went to buy some, intending to make some mung bean soup for her second brother and the others.
She looked around at the village entrance but didn't see the man who sold mung beans yesterday. After asking around, she found out that the man's house was on the west side of the village.
So she and Jiang Yue went to the west of the village again. When passing by the village committee, Su Ying saw a few aunts chatting there and thought of going up to ask for directions.
When I got closer, I heard them gossiping.
"You probably don't know yet, but Old Man Liu sold his daughter to that bachelor at the village entrance. I heard he took fifty yuan as a betrothal gift?"
"Fifty? That bachelor's family is so poor, how could he possibly come up with fifty dollars?"
"I don't know about that. Maybe it was borrowed."
"That bachelor is already over 50 years old. He finally got married. Isn't he going to die of happiness now?"
"It's just a pity for the Liu family's daughter. She's only eighteen years old this year, right? If the Liu family's eldest brother was at home, he would definitely not agree to this marriage."
Su Ying hadn't originally intended to listen to their gossip, but the voices of these aunts were so loud that she just listened.
"Aunties, do you know which family in our village sells mung beans?" Su Ying walked over and asked politely.
Seeing that Su Ying didn't look like a villager, the aunts looked at her and began to question her curiously.
"Little girl, you are not from our village, are you from the city?"
"Oh, this girl is so pretty. Girl, do you have a boyfriend?"
Seeing this, Su Ying quickly stuffed some melon seeds that she had just bought from the canteen into their hands.
"Well, aunts, I'm already married. You guys continue chatting while I go buy some mung beans."
Seeing that Su Ying was so honest and even gave them melon seeds, the aunts were even more enthusiastic in showing her the way.
Su Ying thanked him and was about to turn around and leave when she casually asked, "By the way, aunts, which family is the Liu family's daughter you were talking about?"
She suddenly remembered that Liu Baozhu also had the surname Liu and had an older brother who was not at home. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
"Who else could it be? There's only one Liu in our village, Old Man Liu's daughter, Liu Baozhu. She was sold to that bachelor at the village entrance as a wife. How pitiful!"
As the auntie spoke, her tone also suggested that it was such a pity.
Although Liu Baozhu's skin was a little darker and she could eat a little more, her facial features were still good. It was just that her family was poor. The old man Liu was lazy and ate all day long, and no one in the village looked down on them.
The eldest brother is already 25 years old and still has no wife, yet he still wants to join the army?
"What? You said that person is Liu Baozhu?" Su Ying was also shocked after hearing this.
She looked at Jiang Yue beside her and frowned tightly.
I saw Liu Baozhu was fine yesterday, how could this happen?
Su Ying thought of Liu Baozhu's current situation and there was no time to buy mung beans, so she pulled Jiang Yue and rushed to the field.
She had to tell this to her second brother. He must be more familiar with Liu Baozhu's family situation than she was, and he would find a way to help her then.
Seeing her running very fast, Jiang Yue followed behind her and said worriedly, "Yingying, slow down. It's hard to walk here. Don't sprain your ankle."
The roads in the countryside are all dirt roads, and the roads leading to the fields are even more bumpy. If you are not careful, it is easy to sprain your ankle.
Just as Jiang Yue finished speaking, Su Ying's screams came from the front.
"Ouch."
Jiang Yue had just finished speaking when she accidentally stepped on a stone and sprained her ankle.
"Yingying, how are you? Can you still stand up?" Seeing Su Ying sprained her ankle, Jiang Yue quickly stepped forward and squatted down to check her foot.
"Jiang Yue, you have a bad mouth. Will you die if you don't speak?" Su Ying glared at him. Her ankle was numb from the pain. Waves of piercing pain came, and even her voice trembled when she spoke.
Jiang Yue's attention was now completely focused on Su Ying's red and swollen ankle. He responded to her distressedly, "Okay, it's all my fault. I'll take you to the village medical station for treatment."
Jiang Yue said this and squatted in front of Su Ying, wanting to carry her on his back.
Su Ying was still thinking about Liu Baozhu and didn't care about her feet, so she said to Jiang Yue, "Don't worry about me. Go and tell my second brother about Liu Baozhu and let him think of a solution."
Although Jiang Yue also knew that Su Ying was worried about Liu Baozhu, he was different. He was narrow-minded and had his own selfish desires. It was impossible for him to leave her alone for another woman.
The corn here is so tall, and everyone is working in the fields at this time. What if a bad guy rushes out from the cornfield?
So, without saying a word, he grabbed Su Ying's arms, put her on his back, and carried her to find Su Yan.
Just after they left, a figure walked out from the cornfield next to where Su Ying had fallen. He looked in the direction they left, with a hint of sinister calculation in his eyes.
"This should be the girl from the city that Qiaoqiao mentioned. She's really pretty, with delicate skin and tender flesh. I just wonder what she's like in bed?"
Tian Fuxing was just urinating in the cornfield when he heard someone talking outside. So he bent down and walked out a little, and saw a woman squatting on the ground.
The first time he saw Su Ying, Tian Fuxing was stunned.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman, even more beautiful than the stars on TV. The breeze blew her long hair, revealing the fair skin of her neck and half of her delicate face.
When he heard Su Ying's words just now, a lewd smile appeared on his face. He happened to be thinking about finding an opportunity, but he didn't expect that this opportunity would come.
But he didn't expect that this man would be such a nuisance. Seeing his plan being ruined like this, he looked at the direction Jiang Yue left with hatred. It seemed that he had to find a way to get rid of this man.
