Gu An'an was quite satisfied with the village chief's handling of the situation.
Did you beat him up?
Zhou Yue nodded, "After Brother Zhao found him, he beat him so badly that he was running for his life before sending him away."
Gu An'an was even more satisfied. Wouldn't it be too good for that beast to go without teaching him a lesson?
After confessing her secrets, Zhou Yue finally got excited.
"Lin Qingqing and Li Yumei have broken up."
"Has Li Yumei finally grown a brain?"
The group was amused by Gu An'an's description. Thinking back on Li Yumei's past behavior, she really seemed brainless, being used as a pawn by Lin Qingqing every day.
"Judging from her recent behavior, she has indeed become a bit smarter."
"You don't know, the educated youth compound has been quite lively lately. The diligent ones want to go up the mountain to pick vegetables, but the wild vegetables need to be blanched. Two groups of people are arguing fiercely over that little bit of water and firewood."
"Lin Qingqing is being gossiped about by the villagers because of the time she framed you, but I don't think she has reflected on it. She still goes to work as carefree as before, and doesn't even think about picking vegetables to earn money. Instead, she focuses her attention on Li Yumei."
"At that time, Qian Xiaojun left, and everyone else was busy going to work or up the mountain. Lin Qingqing was the only one who was free in the educated youth compound. She took advantage of the fact that no one was around and tried to steal Li Yumei's money. But Li Yumei was lucky that day. She ran into a large group of people in the mountains and came back earlier than usual. She caught Lin Qingqing trying to pick her lock, and the two of them had a falling out."
Gu An'an really didn't expect that Lin Qingqing, who always liked to put on airs, would actually become a thief. This is completely different from the original plot.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the male and female leads are both ruined, what's the difference if the female supporting character is ruined too?
She heard about it and moved on, treating it as a joke, but she didn't expect to run into the person involved the very next day as soon as she stepped out the door.
"Are you feeling smug?"
"Is the breakfast at the educated youth compound shit? At least brush your teeth before going out. Have some public decency, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu An'an saw that Lin Qingqing's already unpleasant face now looked like it had been smeared with excrement.
"You! Don't think that just because the whole village fawns over you you can do whatever you want."
Gu An'an really wanted to crack open her brain to see if it was filled with brain mush or mush.
"Teasing me first is shameless, but if you don't want to get scolded, stay away. I don't have time to argue with you."
Gu An'an really thought that Lin Qingqing was an idiot. Although she had been sent to the countryside, she was lucky to be assigned to Xiaowang Village. Now that she had a way to make money, as long as she worked hard, her life would be no worse than in the city.
Even with a script like this, she's unwilling to put in even the slightest effort. What else is there to say?
Lin Qingqing was about to say something to salvage the situation when she saw the village chief jogging over, carrying a large package. "Gu Zhiqing, here's your package."
The village chief smiled smugly. It was all thanks to his son, Ah Heng, who delivered a package every month. That's how you make your presence felt. It seems his chances of being Gu Zhiqing's uncle have increased even more.
Looking at the large package handed to her, Gu An'an knew without even thinking who sent it, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
"Uncle, I can get it myself next time."
The village chief waved his hand repeatedly, "It's alright, it's alright. It's good to run around more. You take the package back and put it away first, and then we'll go to the village committee to discuss the follow-up matters."
Since she was going to see the village chief anyway, Gu An'an had no objections. "Uncle, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."
"Okay, no rush."
Lin Qingqing had been standing to the side the whole time, and when she saw the sender's name, she almost bit her lower lip until it bled.
Seeing that the village chief didn't even glance in their direction, they finally left in shame and indignation.
When she turned back to the educated youth compound, the village chief frowned and glanced at her, his eyes full of disdain.
He felt he had been as fair as possible among the village officials, but seeing someone like Lin Qingqing, he still couldn't help but get angry.
She has neither the ability nor the willingness to work hard, and she only thinks about getting something for nothing. Who would tolerate her!
After Gu An'an put her things away and came out, the village chief quickly said, "Stay away from that Lin Zhiqing in the future. She's not a good person. Don't let her hurt you."
Although he would do his best to protect Gu An'an, people's hearts are truly unpredictable.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I know what I'm doing."
If the other party dares to make a move, she will definitely make that person regret it.
"Is everything we ordered ready?"
The village chief nodded. "It's all ready. My colleague Dahai said he'd come to install it this morning, so he should be here soon."
"However, our village's pine nut stock is almost gone. If I had known, I would have told everyone to go up the mountain and bring back more last year."
The village chief was filled with regret! This was all money, something he could see but couldn't earn; it was like having his heart ripped out.
"What did the commune leaders say?"
If it were in the future, Gu An'an would definitely have the village chief go to other villages to buy up large quantities of goods, but these days you have to think things through before doing anything, and she's really annoyed.
The village chief's story is even more troubling: "The Party Secretary asked us to help other villages."
This is not surprising, after all, they are in charge of the entire commune and of course they hope for common prosperity, but helping out does not mean being free labor.
"Of course we'd appreciate your help, but we're not going to be taken advantage of. We have our own things to do, and it's not good for us to be busy for others every day."
The village chief nodded vigorously, "That's exactly right."
"If the Party Secretary allows us to earn some extra money for our hard work, then it's not something we can't do."
The village chief figured out what he meant. "You mean something like a supply and marketing cooperative?"
Gu An'an nodded, "Uncle, you can talk to the Party Secretary. If he agrees, we'll do it. If he doesn't, we'll just live our own lives. After all, helping others sell their products requires us to pay for labor, transportation, and resources. None of these things can be obtained without spending money."
