“Xiuxiu is such a well-behaved and sensible girl, how could we bear to force her to marry a divorced old man with a child? We can’t treat her like this. There are plenty of promising young men around here,” Aunt Zhou said with a pained expression.
Grandma Hu was surprised that so many people liked to meddle in other people's business, and she gave Zhao Chunyan a look.
Zhao Chunyan immediately put her hands on her hips and shouted, "What's it to you? Xiuxiu is my daughter. How could I not want what's best for her? Wang Jianguo earns thirty yuan a month. Do you even earn that much? You can't earn that much in a whole year."
She looked at her with disdain.
“No matter how good his conditions are, Xiuxiu will have to take care of two children right after she marries him. She’ll be busy with all sorts of things, worrying and working hard, and she’ll also be gossiped about behind her back. It’s all for nothing, so why bother?” Aunt Zhao also spoke up.
As soon as Zhao Chunyan saw Zhang Hongxia, she gave a mocking smile and said, "You should mind your own business first. It's disgusting to even talk about your son and sister-in-law getting involved together."
Zhang Hongxia's face flushed red with anger, and she glared fiercely at Zhao Wen, who was watching the commotion from the side.
She grabbed his ear and pulled him away.
Zhao Chunyan laughed loudly and scolded, "You're just meddling in other people's business."
Cai Shaoyun had recovered by now and glanced at Hu Hanxiu, who was being helped up by Yunling and was crying sadly.
She immediately said, "Don't be afraid, I'll stand up for you."
Zhao Chunyan glared angrily.
If Cai Shaoyun hadn't interfered today, Xiuxiu and Wang Jianguo's relationship would have been settled.
One bad apple spoils the whole bunch.
Cai Shaoyun was not afraid at all. He glared at her and said, "As long as I am here, you can forget about forcing Xiuxiu to get married. Otherwise, I will report you to the county town."
"You dare?" Zhao Chunyan asked in astonishment.
Cai Shaoyun raised an eyebrow and said, "What's there to be afraid of? As long as your Hu family dares to do it, I dare to report it."
Normally, if no one reports it in the team, the brigade will directly execute the offender.
But this is how you should deal with Zhao Chunyan and Old Lady Hu, this unruly mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
She became the first person to report the incident to the Yunxi Brigade.
Zhao Chunyan was instantly frightened.
She had witnessed the miserable state of those who were reported in the county town.
She was bullied—shaved bald, forced to use the toilet, and pelted with stones. Anyone could bully her.
She thought for a moment and immediately said, "My mother-in-law makes all the decisions in my family."
Old Mrs. Hu: ...
She said with a long face, "Alright, since Xiuxiu has high standards and doesn't like Wang Jianguo, and absolutely doesn't want to marry him, then don't marry him."
Hu Hanxiu was overjoyed.
But she also knew that her grandmother wouldn't let her off easily.
Sure enough, Old Mrs. Hu looked at her and said sarcastically, "Since Xiuxiu has such high standards, you must find us a grandson-in-law whose conditions are no worse than Wang Jianguo's in the future."
With her face red and swollen, Hu Hanxiu sobbed, "I will try my best."
Anyway, it's not like I'm forcing her to find someone right now, so I'll just agree for now.
"Hehe, then I'll wait. I hope I can see it before I die," Old Mrs. Hu continued sarcastically.
She turned and went back into the house, slamming the door shut.
Zhao Chunyan lowered her head and remained silent.
There was no more excitement to watch; the people who had been lying on the courtyard wall and those who had gathered at the gate had all left.
Cai Shaoyun gave her another warning before leaving with Yunling.
Yunling retrieved the small ball used for filming.
The mission is complete, and the reward is a roast chicken.
happy!
Another pleasant day.
*
I spent an hour in the afternoon organizing the materials the team leader requested, and then there was nothing else to do.
Yunling made an excuse to slip away and went to the back mountain to eat the roasted chicken that the system had rewarded her with.
It was plump and chubby, and half of it was left over. I put it back into the system space.
On the way down the mountain, I saw Chen Rong and Tian Gang acting suspiciously.
She followed him, thinking there was some secret involved.
The result is this...
Tian Gang hugged Chen Rong tightly and confessed his love.
Chen Rong had her back to him.
From where Yunling hid, she could clearly see the undisguised disgust on Chen Rong's face.
She clicked her tongue twice.
Leave decisively!
It's really boring.
As Yunling descended the mountain, she saw something red on the hillside, faintly visible, like agate.
She took a piece of wood and used it to probe the way. When she got closer, she found that it was Schisandra chinensis, which was already fully ripe.
They're in strings, bright red, and look delicious.
She picked the plumpest bunch, took a bite, and the sweet juice exploded in her mouth.
So delicious!
I immediately picked some and put them in my pocket.
External objects cannot be placed into the system space.
Both pockets were stuffed full, and a large bunch was picked, with plenty still left.
I memorized the route, but didn't go to the team's compound; I went straight home.
He gave some to Qin Tiantian and Qin Rui, took Qin Rui to the field, and then led Qin Tiantian to pick the remaining Schisandra chinensis.
"So sweet, so delicious! I've been to the mountains countless times since I was a child, but I never knew there was a Schisandra chinensis orchard here," Qin Tiantian said with a beaming smile.
Schisandra chinensis can be eaten as a fruit and is also a medicinal herb.
It's very good for your health.
It's just hard to find; they're usually picked before they're ripe.
"Third Sister-in-law, how did you find out?" Qin Tiantian asked curiously.
Yunling blinked.
Of course, it's impossible to say that she was just idly loafing around and came up the mountain to eat roast chicken.
She said she came with Chen Rong and Tian Gang.
Qin Tiantian said "Oh," and then asked gossipily, "Third Sister-in-law, do you think Tian Zhiqing and Chen Zhiqing are together? I often see them walking together, and Tian Zhiqing is very protective of Chen Zhiqing."
"Didn't you notice? Chen, the educated youth, looks down on Tian, the educated youth. There's no way the two of them can be together," Yunling said decisively.
I reckon even Tian Gang wouldn't be as good as a fish in Chen Rong's fishpond.
Qin Tiantian was a little confused; city people were really strange.
In their team, if the men and women are close, it usually means that they are dating and will get married in the future.
After picking the Schisandra chinensis berries, the two followed the path down the mountain.
Qin Tiantian took some baskets home, while Yunling finished her fishing and went back to work.
Continue chatting with Aunt Cai.
Before you know it, you'll be in the fields recording your work points.
From beginning to end, the last one was an educated youth.
It's still the same old story; work points have neither increased nor decreased.
Fang Yuyan sighed. She wanted to change jobs, but the team leader wouldn't allow it.
Every day I see Chen Rong's pretentious old face and Zhang Lanhua's shrewish face.
So annoying!
She deeply regretted that she had acted rashly after being provoked by her family, and had packed her bags and gone to the countryside.
Every day felt like I was soaking in bitter water.
She called her parents, wanting to go back to the city, but they told her to stay put.
Nothing went smoothly.
