Chapter 21



The next day at noon, An Meixue was feeling a little proud after Zhu Yingfang went to the community to report Yang Shuying, but when she returned to the educated youth point, she heard many people gossiping about the matter.

The gossip they were discussing was of course about Yang Shuying's response to a few middle-aged ladies yesterday evening.

After a night of rumors spread among the whole village, several aunties revealed that An Meixue was not Jiang's fiancée and that she encouraged Yang Shuying to pursue Jiang.

Including educated youth sites.

This matter has been discussed by many people, and everyone has his own opinion.

Before An Meixue came back, someone immediately asked, "Meixue, there are people in the village saying that you are not Jiang Zhiqing's fiancée, and they are encouraging Yang Shuying to pursue Jiang Zhiqing. Is this true?"

An Meixue's face froze and she didn't have time to reply.

Someone immediately defended her, saying, "How could An Zhiqing help Yang Shuying chase Jiang Zhiqing? An Zhiqing is not stupid."

Xu Mengqi continued, "This must be Yang Shuying trying to steal An Zhiqing's favor and frame Mei Xue, thinking that Jiang Ge will like her. He doesn't think about the fact that he is just a country bumpkin and is not worthy of Jiang Ge!"

Wang Jing and Zhou Ming, two educated youths who had a good relationship with Jiang Jingyan, also thought that Yang Shuying deliberately framed An Meixue.

They both felt very sorry for An Meixue.

Not only Zhou Ming and Wang Jing thought so, almost everyone at the educated youth site stood on An Meixue's side.

Not to mention how good An Zhiqing's reputation is.

They usually think that the relationship between An Zhiqing and Jiang Ge is very unusual, so how could they not be an engaged couple?

Besides, An Zhiqing deliberately helped Yang Shuying pursue her fiancé. Only a fool would do such a thing.

It was obvious that Yang Shuying had failed in his attempt to undermine An Zhiqing's influence, so he took the opportunity to take revenge in the village and deliberately ruin An Zhiqing's reputation.

When An Meixue learned that the news had spread throughout the village, she felt dizzy.

"An Zhiqing, why don't you say anything?"

"An Zhiqing, Yang Shuying has been so deceiving you, you have to be careful with her. Don't be as foolish as before and treat her as a good sister. Such people are poisonous snakes, and they will bite you back if you are not careful!"

An Meixue looked heartbroken and said, "Why did Shuying accuse me? Was it because she asked me to help her ask Jiang out last night and I didn't agree immediately?"

An Meixue's words "unintentionally" pissed off everyone at the educated youth center.

"What? She still has the nerve to ask you out for Brother Jiang?"

"Doesn't she know about your relationship with Brother Jiang?"

"Is there anyone who bullies others like this? An Zhiqing, I think Yang Shuying is bullying you because you have such a bad temper."

Educated Youth

Only Mu Qingqing and several other old educated youth did not comment on this matter.

Mu Qingqing's impression of Yang Shuying was neither good nor bad. She just felt that this girl from the Yang family was too naive and love-brained.

She knew that Jiang the educated youth didn't like her but still rushed to get close to her. What else could she do but to ask for trouble?

As for An Meixue, after living in the same room with her for such a long time, she not only felt that An Meixue was fake and pretentious, but also had deep thoughts.

It's quite possible to fool a little country girl.

If what the daughter of the Yang family said was true, An Meixue not only encouraged the daughter of the Yang family to pursue Jiang Zhiqing even though she was already engaged to him, but also encouraged him to pursue her.

What exactly does An Meixue want to do?

Thinking of the notorious reputation that the daughter of the Yang family had in the village these days, Mu Qingqing felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.

Mu Qingqing didn't know that she had accidentally touched upon the truth. At this moment, everyone in the educated youth center was filled with righteous indignation on behalf of An Meixue and was condemning Yang Shuying for his ruthlessness.

At this time, Jiang Jingyan also came out of the house, with a very ugly face, and said to An Meixue: "Meixue, Yang Shuying is a woman with ulterior motives. Stay away from her in the future. Don't worry, I will seek justice for you in the evening!"

"Brother Jiang, it's a good thing you didn't get involved with such a vicious woman like the daughter of the Yang family!" Zhou Ming and Wang Jing said in unison.

Xia Shanshan and Xu Mengqi also echoed this, and put Yang Shuying in the mud.

An Meixue saw that everyone at the educated youth site was fighting against Yang Shuying for her, and Jiang Ge also saw Yang Shuying's "true face" more and more clearly, and he was particularly happy.

But thinking about how Yang Shuying had become more and more beautiful in recent days, she didn't want Jiang Ge to go look for Yang Shuying.

What's more, she felt a little guilty about encouraging Yang Shuying to pursue Jiang Ge.

Before today, she never thought that Yang Shuying would make this matter known to the whole village.

Obviously, that idiot had promised her not to tell anyone about it.

For some reason, An Meixue always felt that Yang Shuying had become a different person, becoming smarter and more difficult to control.

As for her black koi carp tattoo, she still doesn't know whether it was taken away by Yang Shuying.

If she had not tasted the sweetness of the nectar that made her beautiful and white, she would not have felt so uncomfortable.

But having tasted the sweetness of becoming beautiful through nectar, no one knows the feeling of despair and anger better than her.

An Meixue felt uneasy for some reason, and her heart sank, but she smiled gently and said, "Brother Jiang, forget it. I guess Shuying didn't mean it. I'll persuade her later!"

"Meixue, she has ruined your reputation so much, why are you still speaking for her? You are just too soft-tempered and too kind. Maybe Yang Shuying is the one who is really...

You must be too good-tempered and easy to bully, so you won't bother with her, so you are ruined." Xia Shanshan said.

Following Xia Shanshan's lead, others also said that An Meixue had a good temper and was easily bullied.

"An Zhiqing, you can't be soft-hearted towards a woman like Yang's daughter who has such a ruthless heart! It's because you have such a good temper that Yang Shuying dared to ask you out with Jiang Zhiqing and openly try to steal your favor."

"That's right. Fortunately, Brother Jiang has never paid any attention to Yang Shuying, otherwise she would be even more shameless." Zhou Mingyi said angrily.

Jiang Jingyan was also worried that he would be entangled if he tried to seek justice.

He is really fed up with this woman Yang Shuying now.

In the end, Jiang Jingyan's attempt to seek justice for An Meixue came to nothing.

An Meixue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Jingyan had given up on seeking justice from Yang Shuying.

She raised her eyes and just caught a glimpse of Jiang Jingyan's disgust towards Yang Shuying, and she was delighted.

In this life, she watched how Yang Shuying relied on the halo of the heroine to marry Brother Jiang, and how she made Brother Jiang fall in love with her!

After lunch, the educated youth had to go back to the fields.

An Meixue didn't feel proud at the educated youth center for long. When she passed by the village path, she heard the villagers talking about her encouraging Yang Shuying to pursue Jiang Ge. Her face looked very unhappy.

Compared to the bias of almost all the educated youth towards An Meixue, some people in the village still believed what Yang Shuying said.

I feel that this silly girl from the Yang family has been cheated by the people in the city and her reputation has been ruined.

After all, before the educated youths An and Jiang came to Hongyang Society, the daughter of the Yang family was such an honest and down-to-earth girl.

Although he is a little spoiled and arrogant at home, he is usually quite polite to others.

Some villagers also thought that the girl from the Yang family was the one who ruined the reputation of the village after the arrival of the educated youths An and Jiang.

And this educated youth An seemed to have gained an exceptionally good reputation in the village by riding on the reputation of the daughter of the Yang family. Even several production team leaders in the village sympathized with her because the daughter of the Yang family had poached her, and assigned her an easy job.

Hearing these gossips, An Meixue's face turned blue with anger. Unfortunately, she wanted to defend herself, but there were too many people in the village gossiping about this matter.

An Meixue held her breath and could only hope that Zhu Yingfang would act quickly. As long as she could report Yang Shuying, her reputation would only get worse.

Shuying had just returned to Yang's house after picking mushrooms at around ten o'clock. She put the basket of mushrooms in the yard and immediately went to the kitchen to make some delicious meals for her family.

In the morning, the Yang family ate all the leftover buns from last night. Each person ate half a bun. They were not full at all, so they drank a lot.

I go to work with a full stomach.

The cool water was boiled water cooled by the shadow of the tree. She didn't allow the Yang family to drink unboiled cool water anymore, as it would easily cause diarrhea.

The sun was very hot during the summer harvest and the work was tiring. Shuying saw that even Xiaohu had gone to pick wheat ears. How could she, an adult, feel embarrassed to stay at home?

Yang's mother asked her to do some chores at home, but there was not much work at home, so she finally mustered up the courage to ask to go to the fields to help in the morning.

Unfortunately, Yang's mother refused to let him go.

It wasn't that Yang's mother wanted to raise her daughter as a lady of a landlord's family, but she dreamed of her daughter finding a good partner.

If he is not a military officer, then he should be a city worker at best.

Her daughter's reputation in the village has improved in the past few days. Mother Yang plans to take this opportunity to send a message to the second son in a few days, asking him and his wife to return home.

She planned to ask the second son and his wife to find a worker for her daughter.

If she gets tanned, how can she find a partner?

Yang Shuying didn't know how loving her mother was, and she didn't know that her mother was planning to arrange a marriage for her.

Shuying knew that the summer harvest was tiring and busy, and the Yang family didn't know when they would be able to return home for lunch.

There are many people in the village who miss lunch because of the summer harvest and do not return home until one or two in the afternoon. Most of them come to have meals delivered to their families.

Shuying Gancui went to the kitchen to prepare lunch and would take it to the fields later.

She wanted to prepare more nutritious food and send it to the Yang family.

Unfortunately, supplies were extremely scarce in those days, and she had no idea where Yang's mother had hidden the white noodles she brought back last night.

She could only continue making pancakes with cornmeal and salted vegetables.

She worked efficiently. After the fire was lit and the dough had risen, she brushed some oil on the mixed buns and salted vegetables and fry them one by one.

Soon, she had baked a large stack of pancakes.

Afraid that the Yang family would find it too dry, she boiled a large pot of water, added some hard candy and put it in the well to cool. After it cooled, she took a sip. It wasn't too sweet, but had a slightly sweet and icy taste. It was quite delicious on a hot summer day.

Shuying saw that the sun was almost up outside, so he put a pile of salted vegetable cakes he had made into a basket, put a few bowls in it, and with his other hand carried a large pot of cold water as he went to Yang's fields.

When I was locking the gate of the courtyard, I ran into my next-door neighbor, Aunt Huang, and asked her what her family had eaten last night and why it smelled so good.

My neighbor, Aunt Huang, is a gossipy person who is extremely patriarchal.

The situation is completely opposite to that of the Yang family. Aunt Huang's family has three daughters and one son. The son is a treasure, but the daughters are all weeds.

Seeing that Feng Guifang doted on his daughter so much, the two families didn't interact much and their relationship was average. Of course, Shuying would not tell the truth.

People were jealous, and before the other party reached out to lift the basket, Shuying said a few perfunctorily and left.

When the shadow of the tree went away, Aunt Huang spat in her direction unhappily: "This girl is dishonest, just like Feng Guifang! No wonder she does all kinds of things to steal people's relationships, and still wants to marry well, spit!"

The Yang family is working hard. They had a good meal last night, so today's work is not too tiring.

Father Yang, eldest brother Yang, and fourth brother Yang were still thinking about their youngest daughter's (youngest sister's) cooking skills, so they would be happy even if they only gave her the fragrant and crispy salted vegetable mixed noodle pancakes she baked last night.

I don’t know if it was because Father Yang, the eldest brother, and the fourth brother of the Yang family were too concerned about Shuying, but they soon saw Shuying’s figure.

Fourth Brother Yang was the first to shout excitedly: "Little sister!"

When Fourth Brother Yang shouted, the other workers hurriedly raised their heads.

By now Shuying had put the basket and the water bottle beside the ridge of the field. Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, Da Ya and Er Ya and several other children surrounded Shuying and called her "Auntie".

Shuying agreed to all of them, and said to Yang's parents with a smile, "Dad and Mom, I'm here to bring you lunch!"

Not long after Shuying's voice fell, someone pointed the way not far ahead: "The daughter of the Yang family is over there in the field!"

Not long after, someone from the village production team came and called her over, saying that Director Wang from the commune was looking for her. Shuying found out after some investigation that Zhu Yingfang had actually reported her, and reported her for only caring about pleasure and not working, and for being a capitalist?
