Xu Daya stood in the crowd and observed carefully. When the female educated youth made things difficult for Xu Xinning, the best-looking male educated youth among them seemed unhappy.
Why is he unhappy?
Could it be that he's taken a fancy to that vixen Xu Xinning?
Xu Daya unconsciously touched her face. She felt that apart from not being as fair-skinned as Xu Xinning, she was not much worse off in appearance than Xu Xinning (this was Xu Daya's own opinion).
Speaking of looks, to be honest, all the children in the Xu family are good-looking, with the three from Xu Xinning's family being particularly outstanding.
Although Xu Daya is pretty, her eyes resemble her grandmother's, with a slightly triangular shape, so she always looks calculating.
It is said that one's appearance reflects one's heart, and the eyes are the windows to the soul. Xu Daya's little thoughts were almost overflowing, but the people in the countryside are kind-hearted and don't care about things that don't concern them, so they don't pay attention to how a young girl could have such deep thoughts.
Xu Laosan: "Second Sister, why are you pulling me?"
Xu Daya: "Xiao Rui, where are you going?"
Xu Laosan didn't know why he had disliked Xu Daya since childhood. Even after returning to the village for two years, he hadn't had much contact with her. Now that she had grabbed him, he was genuinely unhappy.
Xu Laosan: "It's none of your business."
Xu Laosan tugged at the arm that Xu Daya was holding and left.
Xu Daya snorted coldly, feeling disdainful. She thought to herself that one day she would make them unable to reach her.
Xu Daya didn't show her disdain on her face. She glanced at Xu Laosan, who had already run far away, and then squeezed into the crowd to walk to Xu Xinning's side. She had just heard Scarface say that Xu Xinning would be taking the educated youth to the brigade headquarters to collect grain later. She wanted to go with them so that she could take the opportunity to get to know these educated youth.
Xu Daya: "Ningning, are you alright?"
Xu Xinning lifted her eyelids and glanced at Xu Daya, knowing that this person wouldn't act without a reason, and wondered what she was up to this time.
Xu Xinning said coldly, "What do you want?"
Xu Daya: "I just saw Xiao Rui run away. He said someone was bullying you, so I came over to see who was so bold as to bully our Xu family. They didn't even bother to find out what kind of family we are in this brigade."
Xu Xinning laughed in exasperation: "How could I not know what kind of family our Xu family is? Do we have more eyes or more noses than others? Xu Daya, I thought you were a smart person, don't you know that loose lips sink ships?"
Xu Daya: "Look how cautious you are. I didn't say anything. What I meant was that most of the people in Xujia Village are surnamed Xu. Can we just stand by and watch our own people be bullied by outsiders?"
Xu Xinning stared at Xu Daya for a few more moments. She hadn't expected her skills to have improved so much. Did she really think she was the local tyrant of this place?
In Xu Xinning's eyes, her second uncle, Xu Yaoqiang, was an honest farmer, and she often felt sorry for him when she saw him working so hard.
When Xu Yaozu went to join the army, he thought about taking his second brother with him, but Xu Yaoqiang refused to go. He felt that he didn't know anything except farming and was afraid that going with Xu Yaozu would hold him back.
Xu Yaozu was unhappy about this for a long time when he first joined the army, but it was Xu Yaoqiang's own choice, and Xu Yaozu couldn't do anything about it.
Xu Xinning felt that Xu Yaoqiang's biggest mistake was marrying his second aunt. Speaking of his second aunt, Xu Xinning felt even more sorry for her second uncle.
Second Aunt is a complete brother-supporting demon. She takes everything good in the family to her parents' home. She is also very sexist. Xu Xinning used to take care of Xu Daya so much because she felt sorry for her. So every time she came back, she always wanted to share her good things with Xu Daya.
Xu Daya was actually taken very seriously by Xu's parents and Xu Yaozu and his wife. Every year during the Spring Festival, they would always try to make her a new outfit.
Although Auntie Er favored sons over daughters, she would always side with her son when their interests clashed. As a result, Xu Daya's younger brother, Xu Zeyu, did not have a good life at home. He was three years older than Xu Laosan, but looked about the same age. If it weren't for the pressure from Xu's parents, he might have dropped out of school long ago.
When Xu Yaoqiang wanted to marry his second aunt, Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu strongly opposed it. They were from neighboring villages, and they could easily find out what kind of family she was. But Xu Yaoqiang was obsessed with the marriage, and Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they agreed. However, the two elders were quite clear-headed. The month the bride entered the family, they separated them and made them live separately. Otherwise, the Xu family's granary might have been infested with rats.
Seeing that Xu Xinning didn't speak, Xu Daya didn't want to leave the room awkward. She ran to Scarface's side and said with a smile, "Uncle Scarface, thank you for your hard work. Is there anything I can help you with?"
When Scarface saw that it was Xu Daya, he was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Why didn't you go to work?"
Everyone in the brigade knew about Xu Daya's situation at home. She was always being bossed around by her mother. If Xu Yaoqiang was the family's workhorse, then Xu Daya was the spinning wheel, never stopping for a moment. This young lady basically did all the work she was supposed to do.
They're both daughters of the Xu family, but their lives are worlds apart from Xu Xinning's.
Doing a lot of farm work makes people strong and tanned. Fortunately, their faces are still pretty. But if the two sisters stand together, they look completely different.
Reincarnation is a skill!
It's all fate; I didn't choose a good mother.
It was work time, so wouldn't it be strange for Scarface to see Xu Daya here?
Xu Daya: "Uncle, I came back because I had something to do. I saw that it was quite busy here, so I came to see if I needed any help."
Scarface: "You're so kind. There's nothing much going on here. The educated youth need to tidy up for a while, and I need to go back and record my work points."
The weak are always pitied. Scarface had a pretty good impression of Xu Daya. Besides, he was the scorekeeper, and no one knew Xu Daya's hardships better than him.
Xu Daya: "Uncle, let me go help these educated youth. They're new here and might not understand many things. We're about the same age, so it'll be easier for us to talk to them."
Xu Daya's words were comforting to hear, especially for someone who had always viewed her scar through a lens of prejudice. Who would have known that beneath her warm exterior lay a hidden agenda?
Scarface: "Go ahead, but don't tire yourself out. It's fine to help, but don't spoil them too much. They're all kids around the same age; what you can do, they can do too."
Xu Daya replied with a smile, "Uncle, I know what I'm doing."
Scarface sighed inwardly. What a good child! How did he end up with such an unreliable mother?
With Scarface's permission, Xu Daya ran towards the educated youth who were packing their luggage with a smile.
Looking at Xu Daya's actions, Xu Xinning seemed to know what Xu Daya was planning to do.
There's no such thing as someone getting up early for nothing!
