“还可以，换个新环境住两天就习惯了。”
"So you're Song Qing's sister. I'm Aunt Tian, and I live in the village. You can come to me if you need anything."
Look how lovable this little girl is. Although she comes from the city, she doesn't complain about this place at all. Besides, she's Song Qing's sister-in-law, so Aunt Tian is especially hospitable.
"Aunt Tian is my third aunt. You can go to her if you need anything."
The educated youth in the dormitory came out when they heard the noise. They looked at Lu Ronghui in surprise when they heard what they were saying. No wonder she was so familiar with the villagers who came to pick them up. It turned out they were all acquaintances.
Bai Rongjun was also stunned. Even if she was out of touch with reality, she knew that she had to get along well with the villagers when she arrived in the village.
If there are any quotas for recommending people to return to the city in the future, the villagers will be willing to recommend her. Unexpectedly, Song Qing's third aunt is actually in this village.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'm glad you don't mind me being a bother, Auntie." Lu Ronghui immediately changed her address and started calling her Auntie, just like Song Qing.
Aunt Tian then began to tell her about the educated youth, such as what time they started and finished work each day, how their work points were recorded and calculated, and how many work points they needed each day to ensure they wouldn't starve to death next year.
The Guangxin educated youths who had been educated under Lu Ronghui listened with great interest. Now they felt more at ease and were not as panicked as before.
"Although the people in our village are all kind, we should always be wary of others, especially young girls. It's best if you don't go out at night, and try to go in groups wherever you go."
Don't listen to the nonsense spouted by those slick-talking guys in the village; they just want to fool you city girls.
Don't panic if something happens. If you have any problems, just find our brigade leader and village chief. They will definitely stand up for you.
These city girls are different; each one is as beautiful as a flower. Every bachelor in the village is green with envy.
There's nothing wrong with simply liking someone, but some people have bad intentions and will stop you halfway through to do things that ruin a girl's reputation, forcing you to be tied together.
This isn't just Aunt Tian exaggerating; something similar happened in the commune next door. The girl was a tough one, so she went straight to the educated youth office and sat down at the door to start crying.
In the end, that commune, from top to bottom, plundered countless people.
After talking for a while, Aunt Tian was about to leave. Song Qing was still standing there thinking about helping Lu Ronghui tidy up. Bai Rongjun took a deep breath.
"Sister-in-law." The educated youth, including Aunt Tian, all looked over in surprise. How come there was an acquaintance there?
Song Qing also looked puzzled. The Bai family and the Lu family had both fallen out like this. That day, Song Qing had even gone to the factory director's office with Lu Yang, yet Bai Rongjun still called her sister-in-law.
It's really strange. Back when Song Qing was still in Xin'an, she would occasionally return to the Lu family. As long as no one was around in private, Bai Rongjun would never call her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, I was so immature before, can you forgive me?"
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes reddened again. Before anyone else could say anything, Zhou Han had already pulled her behind him.
“You don’t need to be subservient to the Lu family anymore. Since they treat us like strangers, then let’s just be strangers from now on.”
Oh ho, is there still a show to watch? The educated youth exchanged glances and stood still.
Lu Ronghui rolled her eyes. Bai Rongjun was really like a persistent ghost; she couldn't help but feel disgusted for a moment.
What did you do in the past that offended me?
Song Qing didn't want to reveal that Bai Rongjun used to live in the Lu family's house. That way, she would be considered Lu Yang's adopted sister, and if she did anything messy here, it would involve them.
"Although we live in the same compound, we weren't close before, so there's no need to talk about forgiveness."
We've already agreed that we have no relationship.
"I……"
Bai Jiamei didn't know if her younger sister was really stupid or pretending. It was obvious that the Lu family had connections in this area. She had offended them before, and now instead of quietly hiding here, she dared to jump out again, as if she was afraid of not being noticed.
Aunt Tian was in a hurry to go back, so she took one last look at Bai Rongjun, who was still in tears, before leaving.
Song Qing went straight into the dormitory with Lu Ronghui. Bai Jiamei was about to turn around and leave when Bai Rongjun called her back.
"Second Sister"
"Second sister?" The educated youth were startled again. After traveling by train for so many days, they had no idea that Bai Jiamei and Bai Rongjun were actually sisters. Apart from sharing the same surname, they looked nothing alike and hadn't spoken to each other at all during the journey.
"No, no, no, just call me Bai Jiamei."
Looking at her stupid appearance, she's bound to be a big problem in the future. Bai Jiamei doesn't care about living an easy life; she insists on taking on trouble for herself.
She pushed open the courtyard gate and was about to walk out when suddenly a group of people carrying a woman on their backs rushed towards her.
"Quickly, quick, there's a pregnant woman about to give birth here, make room for her right away."
Only then did she realize that they were carrying a pregnant woman, and she quickly moved aside.
The women in the vicinity all ran over, and Song Qing, hearing this, hurriedly came out of the dormitory, only to discover that the pregnant woman was actually Zhou Lian.
"Your water has broken, go boil some water quickly."
There was no midwife in the village, and everyone was about to go and call one. However, these women had given birth to several children and had some experience. After settling Zhou Lian on the kang (a heated brick bed), they hurriedly instructed people to prepare things.
"Should we take her to the hospital?" Zhou Lian's belly was too big, and her face was deathly pale, making her look somewhat frightening.
Her children also came over, but everyone told them to sit in the kitchen and wait because they were in the way.
"Hey girl, what do you think?"
Several women were also a little nervous; could she be a twin?
"It's okay, I've had so many children, I'm experienced."
Everyone else was kicked out, leaving only a few people inside. Song Qing went to help boil water.
The female educated youths hadn't expected to encounter such a thing upon their arrival, and they all sat in the kitchen with panicked expressions. Liu Ruo was a little nervous, so she struck up a conversation with Zhou Lian's children, asking them their names.
"Aren't you afraid?"
The older children shook their heads; everyone was used to his mother having so many pregnancies.
Bai Jiamei, who was banging on the table, suddenly looked up at the children with a look of panic and shock.
A flood of thoughts rushed through her mind. She recognized the names of those children; they were clearly the disobedient stepchildren of the female protagonist in the book.
Could that woman be Wang Minggui's first wife?
"Your mother's name is Zhou Lian?"
Er Ya looked up at the young educated youth with some curiosity and nodded. How did she know her mother's name?
Holy shit?!
So this is the power of the plot? No matter how she tried to escape, she still ended up here, and even the male lead's first wife died in childbirth as described in the book?
"What are you doing?" Bai Jiamei suddenly stood up, startling everyone.
She ran straight into the yard without saying a word, just as Song Qing was standing there.
"Get her to the hospital quickly, she's going to have a difficult labor!"
