Ruan Mingfu walked on the path back to the educated youth site with an unhappy look on her face.
You can run so fast, you must have long legs, right?
She was depressed and picked a branch of wild flowers blooming on the roadside, muttering: "I don't even think he's mean."
Such a rare opportunity doesn’t come often. Next time I want to stop Xie Yanzhao, I don’t know where to go.
So annoying!
Was the original owner ugly?
Ruan Mingfu quickly put her face close to the small ditch beside her and looked at her reflection in the water. Only then did she feel relieved. The original owner looked exactly like her. If it weren't for the teardrop mole the size of a pen tip under her left eye, she would have thought she was wearing a mask.
Seeing this, Ruan Mingfu became even angrier.
What kind of man is Xie Yanzhao? He can remain indifferent when looking at a beauty like her.
Ruan Mingfu ruthlessly destroyed the flower and threw the crumbs in her hand into the ditch as if to vent her anger.
The uncle of the local snake is the boss of the G Committee. No matter how beautiful Ruan Mingfu is, no one is willing to offend the county's top leader for a woman. Xie Yanzhao is a soldier with a high rank. As long as she marries him, she can follow the army and leave this place.
I can't give up, I have to force this melon...
Ruan Mingfu really didn't believe that with her charm, she couldn't win over Xie Yanzhao.

Ruan Mingfu had just finished giving herself a boost when she arrived at the entrance of the educated youth center and heard a noise coming from inside.
"…No one is seen this early in the morning…"
"I guess she's going somewhere to seduce gay men again."
Ruan Mingfu had a good-looking face. After she went to the countryside, the eyes of the male comrades in the surrounding area lit up, and all of them came to her to show their affection. But she didn't know how to behave, so other female comrades rejected her openly or secretly.
"The Wu family's son is getting married today, so I should go and join in the fun."
The educated youth with two long braids sneered, "Do you believe it?"
Ruan Mingfu remembered that the female educated youth was called Hu Lihong. She had a pretty face, but because of her straightforward personality, she could get along with everyone and was the first to know any news in the village.
"What's the meaning?"
Hu Lihong smiled pretentiously, "The Wu family's son is a soldier. He came back to get married and brought back several comrades."
"Tsk, they all have families..." This voice was so disappointing.
These soldiers had just arrived at the Wu family, and before they could even get comfortable, the old ladies with daughters waiting to get married came to the house. Soldiers are the most popular these days, and they are the best in the blind date market!
Who knew they were already married?
The old women's enthusiasm disappeared completely.
Hu Lihong glared at her, "Who said that? There's still one thing that hasn't been tied yet!"
"who?"
They have no hope of returning to the city, but their families will give them subsidies to make their lives a little better. Others want to make their lives better, and the only option left is to get married. Rather than marrying villagers, they prefer those who are soldiers.
"Hey, hurry up and tell me."
Hu Lihong cleared her throat and then said, "It's the tallest one."
The educated youth thought about it for a moment, and then trembled as if they were frightened.
"That man looks fierce."
"That's right, he wouldn't hit anyone, would he?"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
The eyes of the masses are sharp. Even though Xie Yanzhao looks so fierce, if she had any other choice, she would not hang herself on him.
"Pah!" Hu Lihong spat at them. "They have all killed people on the battlefield. It would be strange if they were not fierce."
"That's true...but what does this have to do with Ruan Mingfu?"
Hu Lihong: “…”
She has no sensitivity to gossip at all. If she really couldn't find anyone to chat with, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to these people.
"Isn't Zhou Peng interested in Ruan? Why is she trying to flirt with him? How shameless!"
"When it comes to shamelessness, all of us combined are no match for her."
"…Why is she so popular with gay men?"
"Let's go..."
The educated youth who said this had a face as sour as a lemon.
"Could she really be the reincarnation of a fox spirit?"
"A soldier is a man of integrity. Would he not fall for her trick?"
"It's hard to say. Look at these male comrades. They look at Ruan Zhiqing like flies looking at shit."
The educated youth who was speaking obviously had a huge conflict with Ruan Mingfu, and every word he said was belittling her.
"I hope that our military comrades will not be mesmerized by the vixen..."
"Come on, have you ever seen anyone escape her clutches? This... at most seven days, do you believe it?"
"How could she be so shameless!"
"Oh, how can she have the face to do that? She seduces all those gay men and has no sense of self-discipline at all. Looking at her frivolous behavior, I guess she has already been touched by gay men."
"Oh my god..."
Hearing the increasingly inappropriate words, Ruan Mingfu's face darkened, and she pushed open the door and walked in. When the educated youth in the yard saw her figure, they were like little chickens with their necks pinched, and they were silent.
Hu Lihong couldn't hold back after being caught gossiping, no matter how thick-skinned she was.
"Mingfu is back," Hu Lihong saw Ruan Mingfu's hand from the corner of her eye and was startled, "What happened to your hand?"
Xie Yanzhao had great strength in his hands, and the marks became deeper and deeper as time went on, looking even more terrifying.
Ruan Mingfu said coldly: "I met some gossipers and had a fight with them and that's what happened."
Hu Lihong: “…”
Just click on me here.
Ruan Mingfu didn't even look at these people, and turned back to the house. When she entered the door, she paused and turned back slightly: "I heard what you said just now, don't worry, I will try my best."
The door opened and closed again. The female educated youth, who had long been dissatisfied with Ruan Mingfu, rolled her eyes, threw the washed shoes into the water, and said unhappily:
"Why are you so proud? Bitch! You'll be criticized sooner or later."
The educated youth next to her pulled her and said, "Hurry up and brush your teeth. You still have to go to work tomorrow."
The female educated youth then shut up.
The youth educated center was converted from an old house owned by a landlord. The conditions were not very good, but there were quite a few rooms, and it was divided into a front and back yard, separating the male and female youth educated in the center, but the dining areas were all together.
The original owner was lucky and was assigned a small room where he could live alone.
The room was very basic.
When he first arrived, he only had a tattered bed, so the original owner went to find a carpenter in the village, who also made a small table and a cabinet for clothes.
Ruan Mingfu opened the cabinet, which was filled with the original owner's belongings. She took out an iron box, which contained some needles and thread and a few banknotes.
After counting, there was about four thousand dollars left, as well as some scattered bills.
The original owner was sent to the countryside by her parents, and all the money in the family was given to her. It was more than 5,000 yuan. The original owner was very extravagant, and after deducting the money she spent on buying things and sending money to her parents, she only had this much left.
Ruan Mingfu put the iron box back to its original place and locked the cabinet.
*
Ruan Mingfu woke up at dawn the next day.
**There was only a thin mattress on the bed, and the bed was very hard, making her sleep very uncomfortable. She was always in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. When she heard the noise outside the room, she could no longer sleep.
A female educated youth was busy outside. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Ruan Mingfu. Usually, this delicate young lady would sleep until dinner time, otherwise she would never get up.
"Ruan Zhiqing, you got up so early?"
The female educated youth looked very kind and even smiled at her.
Ruan Mingfu was comforted.
She's not the reincarnation of a nasty person, and her popularity isn't that bad.
"I got up when I couldn't sleep."
The smile on the female educated youth's face deepened. "Ruan Zhiqing, it's the end of the month. Do I need to help you cook next month?"
The educated youth all ate from the same pot, and two people were assigned to take turns every day.
But the original owner never did it.
First, she had never cooked before and the food she cooked was terrible, and second, she could pay someone to cook for her.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
No wonder she smiled so kindly, it turns out she was the honorable Party A.
"……want."
The original owner didn’t know how to cook, so could she?
Ruan Mingfu had grown up without even knowing where her kitchen was. Thinking about how she had boasted about her kitchen skills in front of the victim, she actually felt a little guilty.
She went back to the room and found the canned food that the original owner had bought and handed it over.
Private transactions are not allowed these days, and Ruan Mingfu certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to give the money directly.
The female educated youth took it with a smile and looked at Ruan Mingfu with a kinder look.
She was weak and could not earn many work points, so her life was certainly not very good. She could exchange the canned food for eggs to supplement her nutrition.
Breakfast was a bowl of porridge so clear that you could see your reflection in it, and two palm-sized sweet potatoes.
Ruan Mingfu looked up and saw that everyone was eating the same way. However, the male educated youth had a bigger appetite, so they had two more sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes were just out of the pot and were still steaming.
Ruan Mingfu picked it up carefully.
The white jade-like hand holding the sweet potato made the hand look even more slender and long. The male educated youth stared in amazement, and one of them was even pinched hard by the female educated youth sitting next to him.
“Does it look good?”
The male educated youth was about to nod in a daze, but then quickly shook his head.
"No... it doesn't look good."
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
The female educated youth snorted coldly, then loosened her hands that were grabbing the male educated youth's soft flesh on his waist, and did not forget to glare at Ruan Mingfu and curse inwardly.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
These two educated youth have been dating for a long time. They have reported it to their parents and are just waiting to get their marriage certificate by the end of the year.
After dinner, Ruan Mingfu was about to leave when someone called her.
"Ruan Zhiqing, since you didn't eat much this morning, I'll give you this boiled egg."
Those who had not yet left the educated youth point all looked over.
The female educated youth who had scolded Ruan Mingfu yesterday saw this, pouted with disdain and winked at the educated youth next to her.
Ruan Mingfu swallowed the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Thank you."
The male educated youth's face turned red, he lowered his head shyly and scratched his head embarrassedly.
"No…you're welcome."
She took the egg and looked at the female educated youth. She saw that she was so angry that her face was puffed up and she was glaring at her unkindly.
Ruan Mingfu smiled brightly, and the female educated youth was so angry that she fell backwards.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the captain quickly said: "We should go to work."
The first crop of rice this year has already been planted, saving the trouble of transplanting rice seedlings. Ruan Mingfu knew that there was a kind of creature called leech in the paddy field, which specialized in clinging to people's legs to suck blood.
When transplanting rice, if you go down barefoot, you will soon be covered with these leeches. If you are unlucky, they may even burrow into your flesh...
Ruan Mingfu shuddered.
That scene is terrifying just thinking about it.
Ruan Mingfu was assigned to pull weeds.
It was a field of rapeseed flowers. The flowers had already fallen, and on top were tender green bean pods. After the spring rain some time ago, the grass in the field was taller than the rapeseed flowers.
Ruan Mingfu was petite and was squatting to pull weeds, so you couldn't even see where she was.
The ground was softest after the rain, and the grass was freshly grown, very tender and crisp. Ruan Mingfu pulled a large handful at a time, and soon there was a thick pile of grass behind her.
Ruan Mingfu was a little proud.
Farm work isn't that difficult, except that the grasshoppers jumping around in the grass are a bit annoying.
"…The son of my sister's nephew's neighbor's relative beat his wife to death…"
“Is this true or false?”
"How can it be fake since the body has been dug up?"
"I heard that the one in front of his son was beaten and ran away. This one was unlucky and was beaten to death."
Ruan Mingfu pricked up her ears quietly.
"No children?"
"We've only been married for half a year, how can we have a child?"
“What a pity…”
…
A few ladies sighed for a while and then started a conversation again.
"Have you heard? The Zhou family has taken a fancy to an educated youth and is waiting for Zhou Peng to come back, so they are looking for someone to act as a matchmaker."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Old Zhou family?
The local tyrant who fell in love with her was called Zhou Peng.
"Didn't Old Zhou's wife fall in love with Yujiao? Why did she change?"
"What's the point of Old Zhou's wife taking a fancy to her? She has to like her son. Zhou Peng took a fancy to that educated youth and he insisted on marrying her. Old Zhou's wife couldn't do anything about it."
"Yujiao is the best. She is diligent and pretty."
"Boys love sex, but when they get older they will know who is good."
"You haven't said which educated youth it is yet?"
"She's the most beautiful one among all the enchanters. Her name is Ruan... Anyway, her name contains a..."
Ruan Mingfu didn't listen carefully to the rest of the words, as her mind was filled with the words "Wait for Zhou Peng to come back and propose to her".
If she married into the Zhou family, it would be the end of her.
Zhou Peng was paranoid and sick. He looked at her as if he was looking at an object, which made her feel sick and want to vomit. She always felt that Zhou Peng had an antisocial personality. If she really married such a man, she was afraid that she would die one day without knowing it.
No, she had to find the scapegoat to save her life!
