Planting seeds is not a tiring job. It is tiring at first, but it does tire your waist. You need to half-bend your body all the time. If you stand up straight, you can't throw the seeds into the pit, and squatting down will waste time.
Seeing that the work of one furrow of land was almost finished, Wen Nuan stood up straight and pounded her aching waist. This job didn't seem to require much effort, but it was not easy at all and it was very demanding on the waist!
"Wen Zhiqing, you must be tired. How about I teach you some farming skills?" Aunt Wu, who quickly caught up with Wen Nuan, asked with concern.
"It's okay, Auntie, I'm fine!" Wen Nuan twisted her waist and said with a smile.
"Oh, these girls from the city are just different. They can't stand such a small job!" At this moment, a sharp and piercing voice sounded in Wen Nuan's ears.
The voice came from behind Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan frowned and looked behind her. A pregnant woman who was doing the same job as Aunt Wu was holding her waist and looking at Wen Nuan with sidelong eyes.
"Third son's wife, what are you saying?" Aunt Wu frowned.
"I'm not talking nonsense. It's been such a long time, and others have already started working on the second ridge of the field. Look at these educated youth from the city. They haven't even finished their first ridge of the field, but they're already taking a break!" The pregnant woman looked at Wen Nuan with disdain, and her sarcastic voice was very harsh.
"I didn't rest, I just stretched my waist..." Wen Nuan said halfway.
"Oh, these city girls are so delicate, a wench is useless!"
Wen Nuan frowned as she looked at the pregnant woman and extracted information about her from her memory. This pregnant woman was called Wang Erni. She was quite sarcastic and particularly biased towards boys. Her family had two girls and she was now pregnant with her third child. She had been showing off that this baby was a boy since she became pregnant. She usually looked down on the female educated youth and often mocked them. It was Wen Nuan's bad luck that she was assigned to work with her today.
"Third brother's wife, shut up!" Aunt Wu said again, and then turned to look at Wen Nuan and said gently, "Wen Zhiqing, keep going, Wang Zhiqing is almost done."
Wen Nuan nodded, ignored Wang Erni, bent down and continued to plant the seeds.
"Well, I would say this female educated youth is shameless. Even after something like that happened, she still has the nerve to come out and see people!" Seeing Wen Nuan keeping silent and working with her head down, Wang Erni said meaningfully.
Hearing this, Wen Nuan felt that she could no longer remain silent. She put the basket aside, turned around and walked towards Wang Erni, "Sister-in-law, please tell me what happened to me? Why am I so embarrassed to come out and see people? Are you going to kill me or something with those two lips of yours?"
"Oh, third son's wife, what nonsense are you talking about again!" Seeing that Wen Nuan was angry, Aunt Wu hurried over.
"What nonsense did I say? I didn't say anything nonsense! She came down the mountain in tattered clothes after dark. Who knows what she was doing on the mountain..." Wang Erni saw Wen Nuan coming towards her with a hiss, and she shrank back, then straightened her chest and said with confidence.
When Wen Nuan heard this, she understood that she was seen coming down the mountain on the day she arrived.
Wen Nuan glanced around and found that several middle-aged women had gathered around them, looking at them with shining eyes. She rolled her eyes and then her eyes became red. "Sister-in-law, what have I done? I went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and fell down the hillside, breaking my head. I finally came back, but you still slandered me like this. How am I going to live?"
Warm tears fell in big drops.
"Xiao Nuan!" Xie Sufang and a few others who were working not far away also saw the situation here and ran over.
