It's so cold!
My body is cold and aching!
In her previous life, Qin Yuzhu had air conditioning and heating, but this was the first time she had experienced the cold of Northeast China in the 1970s.
Her quilt was thin, and her bed was far from the stove, so the little heat from the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) couldn't reach her at all. Even though she was dressed and wrapped in a quilt, there was still a chill in the air around her.
She now believes what Wang He said.
It's really cold here at night!
Qin Yuzhu regretted it.
I regret not buying warm clothes and thick quilts; I only cared about buying pretty clothes.
Qin Yuzhu, her teeth chattering from the cold, vaguely recalled Wang He's suggestion.
Go and beg that bitch Yu Mingxiang for forgiveness...
Of course she didn't want to!
But if this continues, she won't even live to see the male lead return; she'll freeze to death!
Thinking this, Qin Yuzhu wrapped herself in a quilt and climbed down from the communal bed.
The educated youth sleeping next to her was woken up by her noise and grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why aren't you sleeping at night? Are you sick?"
Qin Yuzhu glared and shouted, "You're the one who's sick! Your whole family is sick!"
This woke up the other educated youths who shared the room.
Anyone who's been sleeping soundly and gets woken up will be in a bad mood.
They didn't tolerate it and started cursing right away.
"Qin Yuzhu, are you out of your mind? Making such a scene in the middle of the night!"
"We've had the worst luck in the world to live in the same room as you!"
"Can't we just live here in peace? If you can't, then get out!"
"..."
Qin Yuzhu had long disliked these older educated youths who ostracized and isolated her, and upon hearing this, she immediately retorted, "Fine, I won't stay here. Do you think I want to live with you peasants?"
"They all have no connections, no skills, and can only work as laborers in the countryside. What are they trying to prove by pretending to be big shots in front of me?"
The other educated youth who lived with her: "!!"
She's really got me all worked up from all that scolding.
Realizing what had happened, they all stood up and started criticizing Qin Yuzhu.
"Who's really putting on airs?"
"You have connections and you're capable? If you're so capable, didn't you also go to the countryside?"
"You think you're so great, huh? You heartless, ill-mannered bastard, you really think you're something special!"
"..."
While the educated youth settlement was bustling with noise, Yu Mingxiang finished making about two hundred plasters, neatly tied them up, but instead of going to the backyard immediately, she started tidying up the kitchen.
Seeing this, Gu Guanhai frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Wait a little longer."
Yu Mingxiang said without looking up, "You go to sleep first, I'll sleep later."
Gu Guanhai: ...
I wanted to ask her what she was waiting for, but...
Considering their relationship, she ultimately didn't ask.
He glanced at the still-burning embers on the stove, and thinking that the kitchen wasn't cold anyway, he turned and left.
After Gu Guanhai left, Yu Mingxiang continued tidying up at her own leisurely pace.
Stack the firewood behind the stove, scrub the pot, and prepare the ingredients for tomorrow...
She is waiting.
Waiting for Qin Yuzhu.
Having lived together for decades in their previous life, Yu Mingxiang knew Qin Yuzhu all too well.
Her wicked adopted daughter can't endure any hardship.
The conditions at the educated youth settlement were so poor; the houses were small and dilapidated, and the communal sleeping area was nothing like their homes, with firewood constantly burning on the kang (heated brick bed) at night.
She saw Qin Yuzhu wearing a cotton-padded jacket during the day.
The floral print cotton-padded jacket is quite flattering and looks good, but unfortunately...
It's not thick enough.
It's simply not enough to withstand the severe cold of Northeast China.
Yu Mingxiang didn't even prepare a thick cotton-padded coat, so she figured Qin Yuzhu probably hadn't prepared a thick quilt either.
