She had already explained things to Gu Guanhai.
The two will no longer have any emotional entanglements.
What kind of person she was in his heart was naturally no longer important.
When Gu Guanhai heard her come and go, he couldn't help but clench his hands at his sides.
No one knows how much effort he put into maintaining his distance and discretion these past few days.
His self-control, which he had always been proud of, was constantly on the verge of collapse and disintegration when facing that woman.
Sometimes he really wants to...
I really want to put aside my dignity and pride, and selfishly try to fight for it again.
But.
He can't!
A moment later, Gu Guanhai finished applying the compress to his eyes, and it was time to cook.
He composed himself, went into the kitchen, and skillfully climbed over the stove to light the fire and start cooking.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
I heard him leave the house, but I didn't hear him do anything about dealing with the wastewater.
She frowned slightly. "Where's the water? You didn't actually drink it, did you?"
Gu Guanhai's lips twitched. "I didn't!"
"What about the water?"
Yu Mingxiang was still thinking about feeding the chickens.
Gu Guanhai took a deep breath and said, "I've packed it up. I plan to sell it to a few acquaintances of mine at a high price later. I'll give you all the money from the sale."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang asked, "???"
Wastewater that had been used as eye compresses was then sold at a high price to acquaintances?
This man...
No wonder his black market business is so big; he's a complete swindler!
"Selling for money is fine, as long as you don't sell me."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Possessing a treasure is a crime; I just want to live a peaceful life."
Gu Guanhai nodded and assured him, "I understand, don't worry."
Smoke curled up from the chimney, and the kitchen returned to silence.
However, things were not peaceful at the Qingqing settlement.
After Qin Yuzhu was dragged back by the educated youth, she caught those educated youth and gave them a good scolding.
The older educated youth already disliked her, and after hearing about her actions, they disliked her even more.
For a time, the educated youth avoided her like the plague, and even in the communal dormitory, Qin Yuzhu was only assigned a corner far away from the stove.
"As expected, shallow waters breed many turtles. They're still trying to isolate me. Do they really think I care?"
Qin Yuzhu received the fifty jin of grain that the village had allocated to the newly arrived educated youth. She went to the well to wash it while cursing. As soon as she touched the cold water, she, who was already dressed in thin clothes, immediately shivered from the cold.
It's so cold!
This darn weather in Northeast China is so cold!
The cotton-padded jacket and trousers she bought in Beijing were no match for the severe cold here.
As Qin Yuzhu trembled as she washed her clothes by the well, Wang He, who had been secretly observing her, approached her closely, carrying his washing basket.
The educated youth settlement consisted of two courtyards located behind the village. Male and female educated youth each lived in one courtyard, but they shared a single well.
When Qin Yuzhu saw someone coming, she moved aside in disgust.
Those country bumpkins smelled terrible, and even these educated youths, after spending a lot of time with them, started to smell bad themselves.
She would never stoop to associating with such people.
"You must be Qin, the educated youth who just arrived?"
Seeing that she was ignoring him, Wang He tried to make conversation, "Hello, Qin, my name is Wang He. I was sent to the countryside in the same batch as your mother and the others."
