"Dashan, wait for me!" At that moment, a woman ran and waved in this direction.
Xu Dashan stopped and waited for the person to come over before introducing them, "Li Zhiqing, this is Wang Cuihua, you can just call her Aunt Cuihua."
"Hello, Aunt Cuihua," Li Xiyue greeted politely.
Wang Cuihua climbed onto the donkey cart, plopped down, and began firing off like a machine gun: "Li Zhiqing, going to town to buy things again? I saw you bought a new bicycle last time. Your family must be well-off, right? What do your parents do? How much do they earn a month? How many people are in your family?"
“Sister-in-law, why are you asking about this instead of something else?” Xu Dashan said.
Why does it feel like they're checking your household registration right from the start?
Wang Cuihua scoffed at him, "That's all I wanted to talk about. What's wrong with that? It's not like Li Zhiqing's money came from shady sources, so why can't I say anything?"
Li Xiyue had heard Xu Guoqing say that Wang Cuihua was a notorious gossip in the village, who spent all her time prying into other people's private affairs and was disliked even by dogs in the village.
She has a son who is in his mid-twenties and still unmarried. He idles away his days away. Her husband loves to drink and often gets into fights when he's drunk. The whole family is a mess.
Xu Guoqing told her to stay away from Wang Cuihua when she saw her.
But now that they're in the same car, Li Xiyue can't even move away if she wants to.
Wang Cuihua was an easygoing person. She shifted her large bottom and sat down next to Li Xiyue. "Li, you're an educated youth. Tell me, what does your family do?"
"Just an ordinary worker." Li Xiyue was a little annoyed by the way she spit when she spoke, and moved a little to the side.
Wang Cuihua pouted, "Can an ordinary worker have such good conditions as you? Look at what you're wearing, not a single patch, and your shoes are brand new. You even have a hair accessory, and your face is so clean and fragrant, it smells like Bai Que Ling."
She sniffed Li Xiyue like a dog, "It even smells like soap, Li Zhiqing, you're really particular."
In the countryside, many families go three days without washing their feet and five days without taking a bath. It's not summer, so there's no need to wash every day. Wouldn't it be better to save some firewood?
Who's as fussy as Li Xiyue?
Li Xiyue disliked her sniffing around like that, and pushed her away, "Auntie, if you're going to talk, can you not get so close?"
Little White cleverly squeezed in and raised its head to separate the two.
"What, you're looking down on me?" Wang Cuihua slapped her knee. "I haven't even looked down on you, a city girl sent to the countryside, and you're already looking down on me? None of you female sent-down youths are any good. Someone like you might just be..."
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Dashan interrupted her, "Have you forgotten what the brigade leader said?"
Wang Cuihua covered her mouth, looked around to make sure no one was watching, then lowered her hand and said, "I didn't say anything."
Li Xiyue frowned slightly. What was the sentence Wang Cuihua hadn't finished saying?
Did the female educated youth do something to offend the villagers, which is why the villagers are so disgusted with them?
But what did he do? Why won't Xu Guoqiang allow anyone to mention it?
For a moment, no one spoke. It wasn't until they left the village that Wang Cuihua turned her gaze back to Li Xiyue's fair and rosy face, clicked her tongue, and asked, "Li Zhiqing, you're eighteen this year, right? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Li Xiyue shook her head, "I just turned eighteen and I don't have a boyfriend yet."
"How about I introduce you to someone?" Wang Cuihua said with a shameless grin.
Although Li Xiyue is an educated youth from the city, she is beautiful and rich. If he marries into her family, wouldn't his family also become rich?
Li Xiyue refused outright, saying, "I have no intention of getting married in this lifetime."
Wise people don't fall in love, while fools repeat the same mistakes. There will always be a bunch of fools who will fight to the death for love. They might as well be rich and contribute to building a beautiful motherland.
