It is said that there is much gossip around a widow's door, but there is even more gossip around Widow Xu's door. Since last year, various versions of the legend about Widow Xu have been circulating in the Progressive Brigade.
The most talked-about story was about Widow Xu taking a fancy to Hunter Zhang from the brigade and wanting to remarry, but being rejected by him.
In response to this matter, Li Tiejun convened a general meeting of all members, explicitly prohibiting everyone from spreading rumors and rectifying the atmosphere of the brigade.
Unfortunately, although people stopped discussing it openly after the meeting, many were secretly keeping an eye on the matter.
"Xiuzhen, how are you and that hunter doing? When can I attend your wedding?"
"Hey, don't even mention it. He's a blockhead. I've finally figured it out. I'm finally free now, and I don't want to jump back into the fire. Sometimes being alone is quite nice!"
"Really? You're not remarrying?"
Liu Dahua was very surprised. She and Xu Xiuzhen had known each other for so many years and were considered close friends. She believed she knew Xu Xiuzhen's character very well.
These words from Xu Xiuzhen today are truly unlike her usual style!
"I want to get married, but the other person has to be willing to marry me! That stubborn mule has already clearly rejected me. I'm not some cheapskate who would throw myself at him!"
"Oh my! This hunter is really ungrateful. Although he has never been married, his family is dirt poor."
Even though you're a bit older, you're still quite good-looking. Marrying you would be better than him remaining a bachelor!
"That's what I was thinking too. We're both childless, so it would be great if we just got together and lived together. But who would have thought that that blockhead would absolutely refuse!"
"Alright, since they've already rejected you, don't think about it anymore. I'll keep an eye out for you in the future, and if there's a suitable match, I'll definitely introduce you to them as soon as possible!"
"Forget it, I don't want to date someone with kids. I can't stand being a housewife with a family to support, so I'd rather live alone!"
"Then you won't be lonely. Even if you dislike having a family, you still need someone to support you, right?"
"We'll see where we end up, no pressure!"
"Hey! Look, isn't that Guo Dongxu from the educated youth settlement? And who's that he's leading? He looks unfamiliar."
"They're probably new educated youth. I heard Li Laoda's wife say this morning when I was fetching water that the brigade leader drove the oxcart to the commune early in the morning!"
"Oh my goodness, this new educated youth has such a handsome face!"
"What good is Jun Ding? He'll be skinned alive after just one afternoon in the fields, and in another week, these fresh flower buds will turn into dried vegetable leaves!"
"You jerk, what are you saying? I bet you're just jealous that girl is pretty!"
"Get lost! I'm already so old, and besides, I don't need to compare myself to her, as long as I can beat you, that's enough!"
"Alright! You just wait here, watch out for my Dragon Claw Hand!"
"Haha, stop tickling me, you crazy woman!"
"You're the crazy one!"
"Alright, stop fooling around. They're already this close. Don't scare the young educated youth any further!"
