Gu Xinyi is just a bit naive because she has been too well protected by her family. She is not stupid. Due to the panic of just transmigrating and her lack of understanding of this era, she may have done some things that caused her to suffer losses.
However, through this period of observation and exploration, Gu Xinyi gradually understood some things and realized that she had acted too high-profile and flamboyantly in the past, especially being too careless with money.
Otherwise not
The main reason she attracted the attention of someone like Yang Wanqiu was that Yang Wanqiu had revealed her family's wealth from the very beginning.
Unlike Zhong Lingling, who receives monthly gifts from family and has a legitimate reason to spend lavishly.
But she was different. Not only was she an orphan, but her only relatives were like bloodsuckers, wanting to drain her blood dry. She had already told them all herself on the train there.
So even with a cheat device like her spatial ability, she didn't dare to take out the entire supermarket's worth of items.
Even though she eats and uses her own things, people say she's being supported by a man. It's really frustrating no matter how you look at it.
But since things had come to this, there was no use in regretting it, and she could only think of other ways.
But before that, she needs to become more capable, at least so that she won't be targeted by someone like Yang Wanqiu again, and she can't let anyone take advantage of her easily anymore. After all, no matter how much she has, there will be a day when she can't use it all up.
She couldn't farm in her space, and she had to make the most of what she had in the space to accumulate some initial capital in the years before the reform and opening up, so that she would have the capital to do business after the reform and opening up and make her life better in the future.
This is also the main reason why Gu Xinyi has become so formidable. Li Yanhong was quite angered by her just now, and she was about to fight if the others hadn't held her back. She was only calmed down after being dragged away by several other educated youths.
Because there were many people helping out, and two chefs, Chen Shuning and Gu Xinyi, were cooking at the same time, the wedding banquet didn't take long.
The wedding banquet started promptly at noon.
Besides the educated youth in the educated youth compound, many former educated youth who had married locals also came to help, as well as some young women and wives from the village who had a good relationship with Liu Shumei.
Although there were more people helping, the three tables that were originally prepared were not enough to accommodate everyone. Fortunately, Zhong Lingling, who was in charge of purchasing wedding banquet supplies, was a big spender and bought a lot of vegetables and meat, so the meat and vegetables for the two extra tables were enough.
It was tough on the two chefs who were cooking. Stir-frying large pots of food was already tiring, and the addition of a table at the last minute meant they had to cook twice. By the time the food and drinks were served, they were so exhausted that they could barely lift their arms.
Gu Xinyi, having few friends, could only find a seat at the village girls' table. Chen Shuning, on the other hand, was able to sit in a better spot thanks to Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi reserving seats for him, making it convenient for him to observe the wedding of this era.
The wedding proceeded smoothly from there. Following the wedding customs of that era, the two couples first sang "The East Is Red" together, then recited two excerpts of the great leader's "supreme instructions," and bowed three times to the portrait of the great leader to express their respect.
Since neither set of parents was present, the step of bowing three times to their parents was omitted. Instead, the bride and groom bowed to each other before toasting the guests and distributing wedding candies.
Because Zhong Lingling was willing to spend money, the food and drinks at the wedding banquet were excellent. The feast, with its wine and meat, satisfied everyone who hadn't had meat in a long time.
The banquet lasted from noon until it got dark. Of course, this is because in Heilongjiang Province in October, it gets dark as early as five or six o'clock in the evening.
As everyone chatted and ate, the banquet lasted quite a while, and even the village girls, who weren't shy, eventually left clutching their stomachs.
Because they were in charge of cooking, Chen Shuning and Gu Xinyi were really exhausted. So after the banquet, everyone said that they shouldn't help with the cleanup, but instead, they would receive the same treatment as the bride and groom: they should go home and rest early.
Yang Wanqiu, who is usually not very sociable, surprisingly stayed behind today to help tidy up.
Moreover, when Chen Shuning and Gu Xinyi were leaving, he made a sarcastic remark that was quite annoying: "Some people only talk a good game. Everyone here has been helping since yesterday. Everyone is still busy. Why are you two so precious that you have to go back and rest?"
Chen Shuning hadn't planned to leave early. After nearly two months of farm work, she was no longer as delicate as when she first arrived. Although she was indeed very tired when she came down from the stove, she had recovered by now.
She simply couldn't stand Yang Wanqiu's smug and arrogant attitude, so she slowly walked up to Yang Wanqiu's side. Just as Yang Wanqiu thought she was about to attack again and started to back away...
Chen Shuning smirked and placed the bowl and chopsticks in Yang Wanqiu's hands. Then, mimicking Yang Wanqiu's tone, he said sarcastically, "Thank you for the compliment. Compared to you, Xinyi and I are indeed better at talking and more likable. So, we'll leave these chores to the taciturn and annoying Yang Zhiqing."
After saying that, Chen Shuning looked at Yang Wanqiu's face, which was ashen with anger, and smiled as she turned around and pulled Gu Xinyi, who was also packing up, saying, "Everyone is so kind to let us rest, so let's go back. Let's not let everyone's kindness go to waste."
After saying this, Chen Shuning turned around and sincerely thanked the others who were tidying up, before taking Gu Xinyi's hand and walking towards the backyard.
