As the person in charge of the educated youth settlement, she naturally hoped that those who stayed would be easy to manage, rather than someone like Yang Wanqiu who spoke in a pretentious manner and seemed like a troublemaker.
“Liu is right. Chen, you should stay at the educated youth settlement. It’s really not good for you to eat with the villagers in your situation.”
Then the brigade leader looked at Yang Xiaohong and Yang Wanqiu and asked, "Chen Zhiqing has a head injury and it's not good for him to eat with the villagers. Zhong Zhiqing's situation is also not good for him to eat with the villagers. You two, see who can go to the villagers' house to eat with them."
The brigade leader is really having a tough time. These days, every family has a bunch of kids. Take his family for example, with three grandsons and two granddaughters who are all at the age where they're causing trouble. Even someone like Chen Zhiqing, who has a bad head, sometimes feels like he could strangle those little brats who are giving him a headache.
Chen Shuning easily secured a spot to stay at the educated youth settlement, while Yang Xiaohong and Zhong Lingling had already started laying out their bedding on the kang (a heated brick bed), clearly indicating they didn't want to share meals with the villagers. As a result, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yang Wanqiu.
At this moment, Yang Wanqiu's face, which was already pale from the bumpy ride of the tractor, turned even paler, deathly pale without a trace of color.
She never expected Chen Shuning to have this trick up his sleeve. She had just seen the injury on Chen Shuning's head, which looked really scary. Now that everyone was looking at her, she couldn't maintain her innocent, tearful image anymore. She shook her head with a ferocious expression and said, "No, no, I won't go to the villagers' homes to eat. I'd rather die than go. If you force me, I'll go to the educated youth office."
If Chen Shuning didn't want to eat with villagers because she felt it was inconvenient and unsafe, then Yang Wanqiu was genuinely afraid of eating with villagers because in her previous life, she had a conflict with the people at the educated youth settlement and couldn't stay there any longer, so she found a villager to eat with, ultimately ruining most of her life.
Even now, knowing that she has been reborn and everything has changed, Yang Wanqiu still feels a chill run down her spine whenever she thinks about the inhuman treatment she suffered in her previous life.
"I'm not going either. Why should I go if neither of them are going? You can't bully me just because I'm honest."
Although Yang Xiaohong had never witnessed the villagers plotting against the female educated youth, she had heard of it. Moreover, she wasn't stupid; seeing that no one else was going, she naturally wouldn't go either.
Seeing that none of them wanted to eat at the villagers' homes, Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi, who were standing nearby, although they didn't quite understand why, also spoke up and said that they didn't want to eat at the villagers' homes either.
None of the six wanted to eat at the villagers' homes, so the atmosphere became a bit tense, and everyone's faces looked rather unpleasant. The team leader's already wrinkled old face wrinkled up like a walnut.
