There was a brief moment of silence after he said that.
Everyone present was completely stunned.
My brain felt like it had been violently stirred with a stick, instantly turning into a mess.
A top student from Tsinghua University, an engineer at a major factory in Beijing...
Why give up a leisurely job that fell from the sky, earning twelve work points a day, just to give your partner an easy job?
Has this person lost their mind?
A multitude of gazes, a mixture of shock, confusion, and even a hint of pity, all fell upon Yan Yu.
The commune members looked at him as if he were the foolish son of a landlord who had squandered his family fortune.
When he looked at Ruan Tang, who was being protected so tightly beside him, his expression became even more complicated.
Mixed within the sympathy was a hint of envy and jealousy that were hard to define.
They didn't think it was Ruan Tang who instigated it.
Everyone saw it during lunchtime; Yan, the educated youth, was quite domineering!
A man with great abilities but not very bright brains, no matter how capable he is, how could he be worthy of such a delicate and soft-looking girl who looks easy to bully?
Oh my!
Everyone reached a consensus: they had to help Xiao Yan keep a close eye on Ruan Zhiqing from now on!
What if Ruan, the educated youth, can't stand it and runs away one day? Wouldn't Yan, the educated youth, go crazy?
Once he goes mad, their precious little darling, whom they just acquired, will be left unattended!
Even Chen Fengshan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Ruan Tang, who was completely protected by Yan Yu.
This young girl, it's not easy for her to have such a suitor.
Just as he was about to nod in agreement, a sharp and sarcastic female voice suddenly drifted out from a corner of the crowd.
"Tsk, look at that seductive look. Girls from the city really know how to seduce people. They've got a whole repertoire of skills."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a poisoned needle, precisely piercing the eerie silence of the scene.
Everyone turned around and saw Liu Cuihua pouting with jealousy, her eyes practically spitting out venom.
She had been slacking off under the trees by the field, but when she saw the commotion, she reluctantly came over. Just then, she overheard Yan Yu saying he was going to change Ruan Tang's job, and she couldn't hold back her sour feelings.
Why should I?!
Does being good-looking mean you don't have to work?
"Liu Cuihua, you troublemaker! You can't stand seeing others do well just because nobody cares about you, can you?" Chen Jia Da Zui, standing next to her, put his hands on his hips and took a big step to the side in disgust. "If you're so capable, go home and take care of your Da Gen. What are you doing here gossiping!"
Liu Cuihua, her face turning pale after being publicly exposed, immediately launched into a tirade: "Chen Dazui, you're talking nonsense! Jealous? What am I jealous of? It's true! There are so many educated youths in the team, why is it that Yan, the educated youth, is swapped with Ruan, but not someone else? If there isn't some shady business going on here, how could..."
"ah--!"
Before the words were finished, a piercing scream tore through the air without warning.
Liu Cuihua suddenly clutched her head, as if struck hard on the back of the head by an invisible iron hammer. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Her face turned deathly pale in pain, and her body convulsed violently. Apart from that scream, she couldn't utter another sound.
The people around were startled and scattered in a flash, pointing and whispering, wondering what this woman was up to now.
Yan Yu's eyes remained completely unmoved.
He didn't even turn around, but tightened his grip on Ruan Tang's small hand slightly, pulling her behind him and using his body to shield her from the farce in front of him.
It was as if all of that was nothing more than noisy flies, not worthy of his attention.
Chen Fengshan looked at Liu Cuihua rolling on the ground and roared with a dark face, "Liu Cuihua! If you're sick, go see Doctor Han. Don't play tricks here and delay everyone's work!"
