Jian Dan's face was full of despair. Even if she knew, she was helpless, right?
Judging from Tang Sumei's expression and the undisguised worry in her eyes, it was clear that it was related to the rumors about her being violent. It was obvious that she was afraid that she would encounter danger.
However, she still felt very awkward, especially in front of so many people.
Tang Sumei was angry just now. After calming down and thinking about it, she realized that the child was all alone and that only by being tough could he make people wary of him and better protect himself.
Otherwise, wouldn't they have been chewed up long ago?
"Why!"
Before Jian Dan could even figure out how to coax her, Tang Sumei had already coaxed herself. Moreover, she felt even more sorry for Jian Dan and then started blaming herself for being careless.
The activities of the troops in the deep mountains were naturally not made public. However, Cheng Jin still informed Secretary Lin in the form of an official document. The villagers did not know, but Liu Jianshe did know some of it. So before going up the mountain, he told the villagers that they would not go hunting in the deep mountains this year, and the villagers were not allowed to go beyond the outer perimeter.
Although they might not necessarily succeed in hunting, the villagers were still somewhat disappointed at losing an opportunity. What if they had succeeded?
This year, they had income from sources other than their farmland, so they had more savings and confidence. Their vision was also much broader than others, so although they felt sorry for the loss, they didn't make a fuss.
However, some people were muttering to themselves,
"If only Xiao Jian, a former educated youth, could go up the mountain, she might even be able to hunt a wild boar."
When it comes to meat, everyone craves it, but most people are reasonable and can distinguish right from wrong. Before such words could even spread, they were immediately lectured by their fellow villagers.
"How dare you say that? You want to eat meat, so you want Xiao Jian to make mistakes?"
"That's right. We'll stay here for the rest of our lives. We don't dare to go deep into the mountains. Just because Xiao Jian, the educated youth, is good, and he did hunt wild boars for us a few times, doesn't mean he has to take on this responsibility and hunt wild boars for us."
If you want meat, go to the commune and buy it yourself.
"Yeah, she's just a young girl, and you're all strong men in your family. How can you say something like that?"
This kind of talk happened more than once in the village, but Jian Dan was completely unaware of it. If she knew that so many people in the village were protecting her, she would be very gratified.
Tang Sumei spent the day with the village women and wives, and everyone in the village knew that Xiao Jian's aunt had come to help her find a partner. Although they were all intimidated by her strength, Jian was indeed capable, more capable than the people in the village who earned full work points every day.
He is strong, skilled, and can hunt wild boars.
Even with her ability to hunt wild boars, there are still quite a few people secretly eyeing her.
Jian Dan knew that her peaceful days would be over after today, but she couldn't say that Tang Sumei was worrying unnecessarily. She still cherished this kind of family affection.
Ling Weidong from the educated youth compound was the same. From the moment he heard the rumors, he was in a state of extreme irritability and depression. Yuan Ye and Qian Cheng were helpless. They had tried to persuade him and even tried to persuade him to quit.
When I really didn't know how to persuade him, I even encouraged him to just confess his feelings directly, since there was still a 50% chance of survival.
Unfortunately, Ling Weidong is not the decisive type. Perhaps he only becomes insecure, hesitant, or even retreats when faced with simple problems.
Therefore, it's not surprising that the opportunity was missed.
This is the third day since she finished her work. Jian Dan watched from afar. In the past two days, people have been coming to see Tang Sumei in an endless stream. Whether she knows her or not, after exchanging pleasantries with Tang Sumei, they all shower her with praise.
Her ears have been burning for the past two days and the fever hasn't gone down.
To be honest, she wasn't that angry, since she knew Tang Sumei's thoughts perfectly well and had made them clear to her that night.
If it were someone trying to exchange her for money or other benefits, she would have cut them off without hesitation.
However, Tang Sumei had no selfish motives whatsoever, and didn't hide anything from her, which left Tang Sumei somewhat at a loss.
Mingzhu followed the gaze and couldn't help but smile.
"Look at you, you're not worried, but someone else is worried for you, isn't she?"
A simple sigh,
"Ugh, this is so embarrassing."
"Are you embarrassed? They didn't even come to you. Your second aunt isn't embarrassed at all."
you say,"
Mingzhu herself is quite gossipy.
"Do you think your second aunt's taste is on the same page as yours? What kind of son-in-law would she choose? A sent-down youth? It can't be a villager, right? I don't think your second aunt would let you live in the countryside forever,"
This topic inevitably leads to mention of Ling Weidong.
"Do you think he can be better than Ling Weidong?"
Jian Dan clenched her fists, wondering if things would have turned out differently if she had actually agreed to Ling Weidong's request.
She completely forgot that Ling Weidong never had the courage to break the ice with her. She wanted to agree, but she didn't have the chance yet!
He angrily uttered harsh words to Mingzhu.
"If he appeared in front of me right now, I would say yes."
Mingzhu knew her well enough to know that these words were said in anger. However, given her stubborn nature, one could never be sure what she would say when she was angry.
However, it is clear that Ling Weidong will not have that opportunity.
Because early in the morning, Ling Weidong led two of his underlings to the county town.
Mingzhu couldn't help but wonder what kind of fate this was.
I just want to cooperate, but there are no conditions for it.
Why!
Turning his head slightly, he saw Mingzhu's somewhat regretful and disappointed gaze. Suddenly realizing what he had said, he slapped his forehead hard.
