She remembered hearing in the city that some wealthy city dwellers preferred the complexity and challenge of this kind of emotion.
Su Qifen, as a woman with marriage experience, junior high school education and extraordinary appearance, has a high opinion of herself and believes that she is fully qualified to win Wang Song's attention.
So, she decided to take the initiative and take advantage of this chance encounter.
"Comrade Wang Song, where are you going in such a hurry?" She approached him with a smile on her face, step by step like a lotus. Her extraordinary temperament and beautiful face made it almost impossible for Wang Song to ignore her presence.
He was quite surprised to see such a fresh and beautiful girl in this small village, who was completely different from the simple rural girls in his memory.
After working in the fields together for a few days, Wang Song was no stranger to Su Qifen, who was responsible for recording work points, and he also knew the benefits of maintaining a good relationship with her.
So he stopped and politely responded, "Oh, Comrade Qifen, what a coincidence! Comrade Xu asked me to go to the county town to handle some matters, and I was just about to leave."
Hearing this, Su Qifen frowned slightly, her tone filled with confusion and concern: "Since it was her arrangement, why didn't she let you ride a bicycle? This mountain road is long and rugged. We are exhausted after just one hike. What's more, you are new here and haven't fully adapted to life here yet."
Wang Song smiled bitterly. From Su Qifen's reaction, he became more and more certain of the intention behind this arrangement.
How could Xu Qinghe not know the hardship of hiking? It was obviously intentional!
Wang Song was full of doubts. What happened between him and Xu Qinghe that made her "take care" of him so much?
He silently chewed over these turbulent thoughts in his heart, but on the surface he still maintained his honest and simple appearance. "It's okay, maybe he wants me to take this opportunity to exercise. I'll finish my work as soon as possible and come back. Let's not waste time."
Just as Wang Song was about to turn around and leave, Su Qifen suddenly called out to him, "Hey, wait a minute!"
Su Qifen's fingers lightly hooked around his wrist as if accidentally, and the instantaneous contact of skin made her heart tremble violently.
She suddenly realized that her actions were too rash, and a blush quickly climbed up her cheeks and up to her ears.
In a panic, she hastily loosened her clenched hands, and her words were a bit shy and stuttering: "I... I mean, I happen to have a bicycle at home, I can lend it to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the blush of embarrassment seemed to spread even more wantonly on her face, almost overflowing from her cheeks and spreading to her delicate neck.
Wang Song, a dashing man in the city, has seen countless women. He understands Su Qifen's slightly immature but sincere show of affection clearly.
During this period of time, he lived in Sun Youfang's home, and every day his ears were always filled with the trivial gossip of the village.
Sun Youfang's narration was vivid and detailed, giving him a general understanding of Su Qifen's background.
Trying to hear a few words of praise about Su Qifen from Sun Youfang is like looking for fish in a tree.
Despite this, Wang Song had to admit that Su Qifen was still quite dignified and beautiful, and as the village scorekeeper, her identity was somewhat special.
He thought to himself that even if it was just for fun, it would be a good deal to get along with her.
On the surface, he maintained a polite distance and said calmly, "This isn't a good idea. It would be better for me to walk..."
How could Su Qifen not notice Wang Song's tactics of playing both sides together?
She knew very well that he wanted to borrow the bicycle, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
So, she smiled generously and responded cheerfully: "Don't be polite, we are all family. The bicycle is idle anyway, so just ride it. Come on, I'll take you to get it!"
After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to lead Wang Song towards the Yin family.
Coincidentally, the bicycle originally belonged to Yin Yunjie and was forgotten here when the family split up. Now it has unexpectedly become the "exclusive property" of the Yin family.
Finally, Wang Song rode Yin's bicycle and leisurely set out on the journey into the city.
Su Qifen, on the other hand, spread the word throughout the village, claiming that Xu Qinghe had a bad attitude towards the newly arrived educated youth, and accused such behavior of being detrimental to collective unity and being unkind.
In fact, there was already a gap between Su Qifen and Xu Qinghe, so it was not surprising that they said some sarcastic things behind each other's backs.
However, as fate would have it, this time, Su Qifen's gossip was heard clearly by Xu Qinghe himself.
Xu Qinghe had just completed the routine inspection of the workshop and was planning to go home and rest after informing the village director, but unexpectedly, on the way to find the village director, he inadvertently heard Su Qifen's discussion.
"Xu Qinghe is such a mean person! The new educated youth didn't provoke her, so why would she be so heartless? Forcing them to walk such a long way, isn't this clearly provoking conflict?"
"Comrade Wang Song is not cut out for physical labor. He's out of breath after walking a few steps. If he keeps walking like this until dark, he won't be able to come back. In the end, won't we have to trouble the village chief to send someone to look for him?"
"It's the busy farming season now, and everyone is exhausted. How can we have the energy to look for someone? That's why I lent my bicycle to Comrade Wang Song..."
Su Qifen had her back to Xu Qinghe, completely unaware that he had quietly approached her, and was still immersed in her own endless chatter.
Several aunts and sisters noticed Xu Qinghe. Since the success of the vegetable project had benefited the entire village, they were grateful to Xu Qinghe. Therefore, when Su Qifen made negative remarks, they chose to remain silent.
At this moment, seeing Xu Qinghe appear in person, they hurriedly moved aside, their faces filled with embarrassment, and hurriedly explained, "Qinghe, we were not involved. She was the one who said that."
Everyone nodded in agreement, eager to distance themselves from the matter and prove their innocence.
Xu Qinghe smiled gently, and there was a subtle meaning in that smile. She looked straight at Su Qifen with calm eyes.
"It's okay, I understand."
This smile made Su Qifen, who was originally talking incessantly, feel like being struck by lightning, and she froze on the spot.
She never expected that Xu Qinghe would hear it with her own ears. The mixture of embarrassment and panic made her at a loss for a moment.
"My niece-in-law, you used my uncle and aunt's things to do favors, and you gossiped about my aunt behind her back. In this whole village, besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who can do such a thing." There was a hint of chill in Xu Qinghe's words, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Su Qifen's face changed slightly when she heard this. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly turned around and tried to defend herself: "They are not mine. After the family was divided, they are all considered public property."
Hearing this, Xu Qinghe sneered, "Hey, it seems like you're addicted to doing bad things, and you're even turning your elbows outward.
