Su Tian noticed that Liu Jianfeng was stealing glances at Ma Chunling from time to time, especially when she was speaking. Liu Jianfeng would listen to her attentively and sometimes even secretly smile.
Ma Chunling, being so careless, was unaware that someone had feelings for her.
It's best for them to confront this themselves; she shouldn't meddle.
If she says it out loud, but the other person doesn't think that way, her reputation will be ruined.
Su Tian and the others chatted in the courtyard for a long time, while Chen Gang hadn't opened the door since he went in that afternoon.
Su Tian thought: Could this person have been so upset that something happened to them in their room? Why aren't they coming out despite all this noise?
And why isn't that bitch He Hua in the room?
She tugged at Zhao Liguo and whispered, "Don't you live with Chen Gang? We've been keeping the door closed since we started eating. I hope nothing bad has happened to him."
Zhao Liguo said worriedly, "No way, I'll go in and check."
He thought he couldn't open the door, but it opened as soon as he pushed it, and he saw Chen Gang sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Chen Gang, aren't you going to cook dinner? I thought you were still half asleep."
"Oh, I'll go now. You should have finished using the stove by now, right?"
"It's already used up, you can use it now." Without waiting for Chen Gang's reply, he went out to chat with the other people.
Chen Gang stayed in his room for an afternoon, and slowly came to terms with it. If he didn't pass the exam, he didn't pass; he'd just try again next time. Lost in thought, he actually fell asleep in bed, having only recently woken up.
He realized he was hungry and was about to push the door open to go out when Zhao Liguo pushed the door open and came in.
Thinking that He Hua hadn't even cooked yet, so late at night, he felt increasingly dissatisfied with her. Where had she gone all this time?
It turned out that in the afternoon, He Hua called Chen Gang but he refused to open the door, so she got angry and kept running out of the village.
Just then, she spotted a short, thin, and slovenly man.
Isn't this the person Su Tian married in her past life? Hehe, I've got it, Su Tian, this is what you deserve.
This man is a lazy bum from the next village. He's a man of few words and his mother is the head of the household. He does whatever his mother says.
The family was full of lazy men, which led to their poverty. They even borrowed grain from the village, which made the village officials afraid of them.
He used to marry a mute woman, but his mother instigated him to beat her to death. Now, even though he's over forty, no one dares to marry their daughter to him.
His former mute wife was said to have been found in the mountains, but whether she was actually found or not, nobody knows.
A calculating glint flashed in He Hua's eyes. She walked towards the old widower and asked, "Do you want a wife?"
The old widower looked up at He Hua without saying a word.
"If you want a wife, you can go to the mountain in Songjia Village every day and wait for her. She is fair-skinned, tall, and very beautiful. Moreover, she comes from the province and her family is very rich."
The old widower's eyes flickered slightly, but he still didn't speak.
He couldn't figure out why this woman was telling him all this, or why she was being so kind as to send him a wife.
He Hua realized that the old widower was definitely tempted, so she continued, "If you want a wife, go ahead and do it soon. Just wait on the mountain, and the wife will be yours. With a wife, you'll have lots of money."
After finishing her sentence, He Hua quickly ran away. She was also afraid of this old widower; his gloomy eyes looked at you as if you were being stared at by a poisonous snake.
By the time He Hua returned to the educated youth settlement, it was already dark.
She spotted Chen Gang standing at the entrance of the educated youth settlement and called out softly, "Brother Chen Gang, have you eaten?"
"Where did you go?" Chen Gang asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't go anywhere, just wandered around the village," He Hua said guiltily.
"Then come in and eat." After saying that, he turned around and went back into the courtyard.
He Hua followed them into the courtyard. She went to the kitchen to see their dinner: just a small pot of sweet potato porridge. Her face immediately showed a bitter expression.
He grumbled to himself: How can anyone eat this? It's just porridge and sweet potatoes all day long. I really can't live like this.
The next morning, Su Tian stayed in bed. Since the other educated youth didn't have to go to work, they went to town together. Su Tian didn't want to go, so she slept until nine o'clock.
Today she's thinking of going up the mountain to see if she can find any other medicinal herbs.
I took out two meat buns from my storage space, made a cup of malted milk powder, and finished them in five minutes.
Su Tian carried her basket out the door and headed up the mountain.
He Hua got up very early this morning. She didn't go anywhere today, but kept a close eye on Su Tian's room to see if she would go up the mountain today.
Just as she was getting impatient, she finally heard Su Tian's door open. She saw Su Tian carrying a basket on her back and a machete, dressed as if she were going up the mountain.
Her anxiety finally subsided, and she muttered to herself: "Su Tian, you're the one who provoked me. Once you marry into this family and live a good life, you'll thank me."
Su Tian strolled leisurely up the mountain, completely unaware that He Hua had instigated outsiders to plot against her.
She hummed a song as she chopped at the roadside weeds with a knife.
When she reached the top of the mountain, she bent down and carefully looked at the ground for herbs she recognized.
She discovered that there were still many four-leaf clover and single-stemmed chrysanthemums on the mountain, so she quickly squatted down and picked them.
While picking, I also found a lot of Prunella vulgaris and Artemisia argyi, so I picked them too. Prunella vulgaris has the effects of clearing liver fire, improving eyesight, dispersing nodules and reducing swelling, and it is also a very good herb.
In rural areas, mugwort is also known as wormwood or mugwort leaf. The whole plant is used in medicine and has the effects of warming the meridians, removing dampness, dispelling cold, stopping bleeding, reducing inflammation, relieving asthma, stopping cough, calming the fetus, and anti-allergy.
