Li Qiong took out the things in the basket and placed them in the empty seat under the co-pilot seat.
She whispered in Chen Tan's ear: "Sister, just do it with confidence. If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it."
"Thank you, Sister Qiong," Chen Tan nodded gratefully. "You can rest assured about the quality. I won't let you down."
"Okay, okay, I'll come see you again after the New Year."
"Goodbye, Sister Qiong."
After saying goodbye to Li Qiong, Chen Tan walked back carrying the empty basket and basket. When he reached the center of the village, he was stopped by a short and thin woman.
The woman had sallow skin and thick lips on her delicate and small face, which gave people a sense of disharmony between her features.
She grabbed the two long braids in front of her chest with both hands and stared at Chen Tan's beautiful face, which was as smooth as egg white, with hostility in her eyes.
Then his eyes fell on the scarred face and he asked sarcastically, "You are the Shen Caihua that my fourth cousin brought back, right? I am his childhood sweetheart."
Chen Tan knew her; she was He Fangcao, the daughter of Qin Li's aunt.
Three years ago, after her mother died of illness, the woman her father remarried abused her. Seeing that the Qin family lived a better life, she moved in with them and was unwilling to go home.
These things were just gossip that the original owner heard while working with the brigade members.
Chen Tan stared at her coldly and continued walking forward.
She had just left in a hurry and didn't bring her scarf or hat. She didn't believe that He Fangcao didn't recognize her.
Seeing Chen Tan ignoring her so much, He Fangcao became angry and chased after her, shouting, "Hey, Fourth Cousin only married you to take care of his aunt. Don't even think about spending your whole life with him."
Chen Tan didn't stop, but walked faster. She never thought of being with Qin Li for the rest of her life.
Seeing this, He Fangcao was furious and wanted to hold her back, "Hey, you little bitch, did you hear what I said? Fourth cousin and I are a couple, you are just a servant he paid for."
Chen Tan has been practicing self-defense for so long, and with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, he has become much more agile.
She moved to the side, grabbed He Fangcao's arm, and pulled her forward with force, causing He Fangcao to fall flat on her face.
"Everyone in the team saw me wearing my red wedding dress and being carried back by Qin Li, yet you said he and you were a couple. Do you want to learn from the feudal dregs and become Qin Li's concubine?"
Chen Tan's voice was quite loud, and the village women who came to watch the fun gathered around with their sleeves rolled up, sneering at He Fangcao.
"Fangcao, your corrupt ideas are unacceptable. If they get out, our entire team will suffer."
"If the old Party Secretary heard that you wanted to be Qin Li's concubine, he would definitely put up a sign criticizing you."
He Fangcao crawled out of the mud, her clothes on her chest were soaked with mud and water. She listened to what everyone was saying and roared in anger.
"Don't talk nonsense. Who said I was going to be my fourth cousin's concubine? Chen Caihua didn't get married to my fourth cousin. She's just a lowly servant. How dare you say that to me?"
"National leaders say that we farmers have risen up and become masters of our own destiny. I am the wife Qin Li married home, but you call me a servant. You are not only a feudal dregs, but also have reactionary ideas."
After Chen Tan finished speaking loudly, he looked at the middle-aged woman behind the crowd.
"Aunt Yu, I'm reporting He Fangcao for having reactionary ideas. Uncle Meng, please hand her over to Party Secretary Fang for a thorough investigation. Don't let her bring disaster to our Hongyao Brigade."
The middle-aged woman is named Yu Hongying. She is Meng Wenwu's daughter-in-law and has a good relationship with Wu Xia in private.
She had heard Wu Xia talk about Chen Tan and knew that she was a well-behaved girl. She was fully aware that He Fangcao was unwilling to help Qin Li take care of Qin Qiuniang.
At this time, after hearing what Chen Tan said, he came to He Fangcao and said sternly: "You are a servant no matter how you open your mouth or close your mouth. You really need to educate yourself on this kind of thinking. When the old branch secretary comes back, I will give you a thorough trial."
He Fangcao was scared the moment Yu Hongying appeared. Now when she heard the word "education", she turned pale with fear.
"Aunt, I was wrong. I won't talk nonsense again. Please don't tell Uncle Meng. I beg you."
She didn't want to stand on the stage with a sign and be scolded by everyone.
"Humph, the whole team heard it. How can I help you?" Yu Hongying touched Chen Tan's shiny black hair lovingly. "Tan Ni'er, don't worry. I will talk to your Uncle Meng and teach her a lesson."
Seeing that she was so gentle to Chen Tan, He Fangcao's eyes rolled, and she immediately bent down to Chen Tan, saying in a flattering tone, "I'm sorry, Chen Caihua, I'm not very good at talking, please don't bother with me."
Chen Tan ignored her and smiled gratefully at Hong Ying, "Thank you, auntie. I'll go back and take care of grandma first."
"Well, go back soon." Yu Hongying waved her hand.
"Goodbye, aunts and sisters-in-law."
Chen Tan grabbed the empty basket and the basket, bowed to all the women watching the fun, and then turned and walked up the hillside.
The women didn't expect her to greet them before leaving, and they were a little flattered.
"Tsk tsk, he's worthy of being a child raised by my aunt. Look at how much this cauliflower has changed."
"Of course she is. Look at her. She looks like one of those educated youth from the city. She is fair-skinned and polite. Qin Li is so lucky."
Yu Hongying listened to their words with a smile on her lips. This girl is not only polite, but also very thoughtful.
She turned around and glared at He Fangcao, who had been looking at her pleadingly. "Go home and copy the Chairman's Quotations a hundred times. Once you've corrected your thinking, I won't tell the Party Secretary about it."
"Yes, I'll go back and copy it now."
After saying this, He Fangcao ran away like crazy.
The women who were watching the fun were laughing so hard that they were bent over.
"You little bitch, if you dare to snatch Cauliflower's man, we won't let her go."
"Yes, if you dare to come to Qin Li again, we will hang her as a slut."
