Su Tian returned to her room, put down the firewood in her hand, and took the basket on her back to a sunny spot to spread the mugwort on the ground to dry.
Just then, the voices of Ma Chunling and the others could be heard coming from the courtyard gate.
"Hey, Su Tian, what are you doing?" Ma Chunling asked as she walked up to Su Tian.
"Dry the mugwort in the sun, and then burn it in the yard to repel mosquitoes."
"Don't we have mosquito nets? Why burn them?"
"Even with a mosquito net, a lot of mosquitoes get in. They're so noisy, and I get bitten even when I'm sitting during the day."
"Then I'll go pick them with you next time. I'm going back now." After saying that, Ma Chunling went back to her room.
"Sigh, I have to go transplant rice seedlings tomorrow. The seedlings have grown well," Li Chanjuan said with a sigh as she sat on the bed.
"What?" Ma Chunling asked in surprise as soon as she returned to her room.
"I just heard from an old lady in the village that they said it will take a whole day to plant the rice seedlings tomorrow."
"Tingting, can you finish this in just one day?"
"It can be done. You don't know yet because you just arrived. The whole village is mobilized. Moreover, transplanting rice seedlings is simple and quick, much better than harvesting rice."
"Remember to wake me up when you get up tomorrow," Ma Chunling instructed.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely call you. We don't want you to slack off."
"You're the one who's slacking off."
"Hahaha……"
Su Tian spread the mugwort and prunella vulgaris on the ground to dry, and immediately busied herself cooking lunch.
In another room, He Hua sat on the bed, feeling increasingly uneasy.
She kept waiting for Su Tian to come and settle accounts with her, but she waited and waited and she never came.
'No, I need to talk to Brother Chen Gang.' She turned and left the room, knocking on Chen Gang's door, but no one answered.
Did he go to see that village girl again? No, we absolutely cannot let them be together.
She rushed towards the village entrance, searched several large banyan trees, and finally found them under a large tree 500 meters from the village entrance.
She watched Chen Gang and Zou Daying being affectionate, her anger growing stronger.
Seeing them embracing, He Hua finally couldn't take it anymore. She rushed over, pulled Chen Gang apart, and slapped Zou Daying across the face.
Chen Gang and Zou Daying then noticed He Hua's presence. By the time they realized what was happening, Zou Daying had already been beaten by her.
"You bitch, I'll teach you to seduce Brother Chen Gang, I'll teach you to seduce him!" He Hua said, pulling Zou Daying's hair and pinching her with her hands while hurling insults at her.
“You’re the slut, your whole family are sluts. Who seduced Brother Chen Gang? You’re the one who seduced him. We’re dating openly and honestly.”
The two then began to wrestle. They pulled each other's hair, the pain in their scalps making their expressions even more ferocious.
Zou Daying grabbed the other person's hair tightly with one hand and scratched and clawed at the other person's body with the other hand.
Their bodies were tightly intertwined, sometimes pushing, sometimes pulling, rolling and wrestling on the ground.
Chen Gang was stunned by what he saw. It was the first time he had ever witnessed women fighting, and he was shocked: were they fighting so fiercely?
He quickly tried to pull the two apart, but couldn't manage it for a long time, and even got hit by them.
Then he let go and sat quietly watching them fight. As they fought, they finally got tired and stopped.
Chen Gang watched as their clothes became disheveled during the fight, their hair became a mess like a bird's nest, and they looked like shrewish women.
Both of them had handprints and fingernail marks on their faces. Zou Daying spoke first, asking, "Brother Chen Gang, you tell me, who seduced whom? Aren't we dating?"
He Hua retorted, "When did he start dating you? He's dating me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Gang looked at them with deep affection: "Actually... sigh, I haven't been in a relationship with any of them yet. Aren't we good friends?"
He Hua felt a surge of resentment. She knew Chen Gang would say that. If it weren't for the fact that he could become a high-ranking official in the future, she would have dumped him long ago.
She was filled with fear and resentment because of Su Tian's situation, which is why she needed to vent it.
It's her own fault for getting together with them when she was at her angrier.
He Hua could heed Chen Gang's words, but Zou Daying could not.
"Chen Gang, what did you say? You're not dating me? If you're not dating me, then why did you accept so many things from me and eat so many of my meals?"
You also said you missed me a lot, and couldn't sleep at night if you didn't see me for a day.
"I miss you, but it's the kind of missing someone you have as a friend. Wouldn't it be better if we just stayed the way things were?"
"No, I was thinking of marrying you. I'll give you another chance. Are we dating?" Zou Daying's eyes burned with anger.
Chen Gang looked at Hehua, then at Zou Daying. He saw no hope in Hehua, and he couldn't get anything out of Su Tian, so he could only cling tightly to Zou Daying as his lifeline.
“Yes, we are dating. He Hua, don’t come looking for me again.” Chen Gang said to He Hua with a hardened heart.
"Did you hear that? He's my boyfriend. Stay away from him from now on and don't try to seduce him again," Zou Daying said triumphantly, staring at He Hua.
She tidied her hair and clothes, then called to Chen Gang and they left together.
He Hua, left alone and speechless, said, "Ha, a boyfriend? I'll make sure you two don't end up together. Chen Gang can only be mine."
He Hua combed her hair, wiped the blood off her face, dusted herself off, and walked toward the educated youth settlement with a gloomy expression.
Halfway there, Zou Daying turned to Chen Gang and said, "Brother Chen Gang, when you get off work tomorrow, wait for me at my door. I'll introduce you to my family, okay?"
