"Hey, look, isn't that Yu Sui?"
"...Yeah, didn't he say he hanged himself? He's not dead?"
"What? It's been three days. If someone's dying, they're definitely going to have a funeral! Keep your voice down so her mother doesn't hear."
"I heard something was wrong. They said Yu Sui had a crush on those educated youth and was determined to be with that soldier from Xia Jiajiao...what's his name, oh, Xia Linsheng! She cut off all ties with Xia Linsheng before hanging herself! This is her own daughter's shame, and she still has the nerve to scold them!"
"Tsk tsk, this girl is such a fool. That Xia Linsheng said he's already a company commander, and the monthly allowance is much higher. Maybe he can take her to a big city in the future, and she still doesn't want it?"
"That's why you're stupid! Smart face, stupid gut!"
"Shh! Stop talking, here it comes!"
In early September, the sky was high and the clouds were light, with a gentle breeze. Several members of the cooperative who were weeding in the fields seemed to be in a particularly good mood, pointing at a little girl who came out of the village and talking about her in secret.
The little girl was wearing a coarse cloth shirt with a stand-up collar. She lowered her head, with her long black braids hanging on both sides. She looked very gentle and well-behaved when she looked at her from behind. Even her back revealed a sense of sternness. She didn't look like the stupid person that people talked about.
Seeing that she didn't greet people as heartlessly as usual, several women couldn't help but look at each other.
One of them curled his lips and couldn't help but shout mischievously, "Hey, Yu Sui, where are you going? Are you here to see your opponent?"
Another woman also smiled maliciously: "Your company commander said he hasn't come for three years. If he comes again, he will definitely marry you, right?"
Yu Sui turned her head, revealing a small face with a rosy complexion.
She looked towards the woman, anger and embarrassment flashing across her bright, large eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she said nothing and continued walking forward.
What can she say?
After traveling here, she has no memories of her master!
She was completely clueless about this place. Her family had just figured it out, and she didn't recognize any of these aunties and grandmas. They were arguing with each other? She was afraid she wouldn't perform well!
Yu Sui chose to treat them as black fans first.
Just ignore them! Suffocate them to death!
In fact, she was wronged. She stayed up late to read this period novel, and when she woke up, she found herself in this book. At that time, she was a cannon fodder character who didn't survive more than two episodes.
However, the character has the same name and surname as Yu Sui.
As for her, she fell in love with an educated youth who had been sent to the countryside to work in the fields. When she heard that her childhood betrothed was about to return from the army to visit her parents, she used an idea that her best friend came up with and pretended to hang herself to threaten her parents to cancel the betrothal.
The ending accidentally turned the fake play into reality and he really hanged himself, in exchange for Yu Sui, a post-90s girl.
Yu Sui hasn’t finished reading the online novel yet, so she doesn’t know the ending. She only knows that the male protagonist is called Xia Linsheng and the female protagonist is called Yu Qiu, who is Yu Sui’s cousin.
Because Yu Sui died, Yu Qiu helped Xia Linsheng a lot. In the end, rumors of an affair started to spread, so she simply married Xia Linsheng. The two fell in love after marriage and lived a good life in the 1970s and 1980s.
Yu Sui stayed up late to read the first part, which happened to be the content where the two of them just started to interact. The male protagonist was kind-hearted and the female protagonist was smart and lively. They went from being speechless to falling in love with each other. The overall scene was quite heartwarming. After ten chapters in the book, there was no mention of the couple again. This person's death was in vain.
Yu Sui couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought about this.
She had heard what people were talking about just now. Fortunately, her stepmother gave her two dollars, saying that she could buy some meat from the commune to entertain the child marriage partner who might come.
It would be better to keep the fact of her hanging a secret so that no one would know. After entertaining her future son-in-law, the truth would be revealed.
But people are talking about it.
If the boyfriend knew about this ugly girl, would he still marry this silly woman?
Yu Sui pinched the two coins in her pocket and muttered softly, "Haha, still hiding it? I think we're done for!"
It was over, and she felt nothing.
Men don't mean much to her, they only affect the speed at which she makes money.
Even though it was meat, Yu Sui still wanted to eat it.
Originally, she was a handmade blogger with millions of followers. She tried to eat less greasy food in order to show her attitude. But after coming here for a few days, all she ate was either porridge or wheat bran rice without a drop of oil. She even started to crave for something greasy.
No wonder the literature of that period always says that people like to eat fatty meat. The author is not lying.
What should the commune do?
She didn't dare ask the women weeding. If she did, wouldn't she, an outsider, be exposed?
We can only go outside the village and talk about it later.
Yu Sui boldly crossed a stone bridge and left the village.
There was a T-junction ahead. Yu Sui was hesitating which way to go when a man on a bicycle turned from the left.
In the morning, the man came covered in sunshine, his whole body golden.
Yu Sui couldn't see his face clearly, she only saw that his grass-green clothes were illuminated by the sunlight and turned a tender green.
Yu Sui's father also wears this kind of clothes.
Eight out of ten people dress like this these days.
Yu Sui quickly put her hands on the awning and shouted, "Hey, comrade, please stop for a moment. I want to ask something."
The cyclist turned his head to look at Yu Sui, squeezed the brakes, and stopped the bike with a slight stretch of his legs.
"Which side is closer to the commune?"
Yu Sui walked over a few steps and just said a word, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
What is this person doing? Why does he have this expression?
Even when riding on the bike, they all looked tall, with short hair, a broad forehead and a tanned tan. Their appearance was like the tough guys in old-fashioned gunfight movies, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a hard, cold face.
His arms, resting on the handlebars, were long, and his sleeves were stretched tight by his muscles, making it clear that his arms beneath his clothes were definitely strong and solid.
These were nothing. The most important thing was the cold look he gave Yu Sui.
It was as if Yu Sui owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This expression made his face look even tougher. It was hard to tell his age, but he looked quite prickly.
"Uh... if you don't know, then forget it." Yu Sui looked at him and took a step back.
The man finally spoke, his voice deep and solemn: "Which commune do you want to go to?"
Which commune? Are the two sides different?
Yu Sui tried hard not to reveal herself: "...Come closer."
"What are you doing?" The man seemed even more impatient. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Yu Sui curiously.
To be honest, Yu Sui started to feel a little nervous.
The man was already strong, and when he looked at people in that way, he no longer looked like a tough guy. Instead, he looked like a gangster boss who asked people you must answer your questions.
"I'm going to buy some meat... Oh, my friend from the army is coming to visit his family, so I'm going to buy some meat to treat him. He's... very strong, so he eats a lot, haha."
Yu Sui gave full play to the meaning of the answer.
This can also be considered a form of self-protection, just like "Family of a soldier, please don't do anything stupid."
The man looked at her again with his dark eyes, frowning, and it was unknown what he was struggling with.
After a while, he raised his hand and pointed to the right: "Then you go over there, Taoyuan Commune."
"Thank you."
Yu Sui nodded politely and quickly turned to the main road on the right.
But I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: This man is actually not bad looking, is it necessary for him to ask so many questions with such a fierce look?
Are all people these days like this, looking at everyone as if they were enemy spies, and even checking them before asking for directions?
It's difficult!
