"And who is this?" Li Muqing, who was always popular with men and never lacked male admirers, saw through Xu Dading's intentions at a glance. She felt a surge of disgust, but still asked with a faint smile.
Liu Chuncao, unaware of her husband's thoughts, introduced him casually, "This is my husband, Xu Dading."
"Chuncao, is this the new educated youth from the city?" Xu Dading asked lecherously, stroking his chin.
Liu Chuncao nodded. "Her name is Li Muqing, and she is Li Xiyue's younger sister."
"So you're Dr. Li's sister. No wonder you're so unusual." Xu Dading's smile became even more blatant.
Li Xiyue is beautiful, has good medical skills, and most importantly, she is rich. She wears new clothes and has a bicycle. I heard that she eats meat every meal.
Li Muqing is her younger sister, so she must be just as good.
If he could marry a woman from the city like this, wouldn't he be set for life?
He does have a wife, but Liu Chuncao is a barren hen, and her family is dirt poor, bringing him no benefit whatsoever.
If Li Muqing agrees to marry him, he can divorce Liu Chuncao at any time.
"Da Ding, what are you looking at? Aren't you going to work?" Even Liu Chuncao, who was usually quite dull, noticed that something was wrong with her husband's eyes. She pulled him aside, urging him on.
Xu Dading gave an impatient reply and still carried the water out the door.
There's no rush. We can talk to Li Muqing privately when Liu Chuncao isn't around.
The ugly man finally left, and Li Muqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What was that country bumpkin thinking? With his ugly appearance, he still wanted to make a move on her. He was like a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Once inside, Liu Chuncao poured her a bowl of water.
Li Muqing was a little disgusted when she saw that it was just ordinary well water. She had already given her two fruit candies, couldn't this woman make her a bowl of brown sugar water?
Only takes in, never gives out; a miser.
Thinking this to herself, but showing no sign of it on her face, she asked with a smile, "Sister Chuncao, besides the village officials, who has the most prestige in our village?"
"Besides the village officials, it's just Grandpa Liu and Dr. Li." Liu Chuncao peeled a piece of candy and put it in her mouth, instantly revealing a look of enjoyment.
Fruit candies are so delicious. The educated youth from the city were really rich; they were willing to buy fruit candies that cost a penny each.
Two pieces cost two cents, which is equivalent to one work point.
She patted her pocket; she had to save the rest for later. Such good food couldn't be eaten all at once.
Li Muqing frowned. Sixth Grandfather was the barefoot doctor Uncle Xu, who was in cahoots with Li Xiyue. She couldn't possibly win him over. She continued, "Besides the two of them?"
"Uncle Dashan."
Xu Dashan was a hunter and seemed to have a good relationship with Li Xiyue. She saw Xu Dashan bring things to Li Xiyue several times, including food, supplies, and game from the mountains.
Li Muqing took a sip of water and asked again, "Is there any more?"
"And then there's Xiangyang." Liu Chuncao said, then asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you asking about these things?"
Li Muqing tried to cover it up by saying, "It's nothing, I was just asking to avoid offending them."
Liu Chuncao, unsuspecting, continued to enjoy sucking on the sweet fruit candy, saying smugly, "You've come to the right place to ask me about these things. Others are fine, but you absolutely mustn't offend Xu Xiangyang; he's ruthless."
No one in the entire production team dared to provoke Xu Xiangyang.
"I understand." Li Muqing memorized the name.
