The young educated youth is the king of melon eating

"Why is a woman like this still alive? She is scolded by people every day, and I just want to die."

"No, I simply can't do such a despicable thing, don't you think?"

Xu Shiqing was afraid that Shen Lu would not understand and follow suit, so she spoke up quickly.

"Shen Lu, this dustpan is almost done, let's go and tidy it up."

You can't just respond to what the second old lady says casually, especially you can't express your opinions, otherwise when she passes it on later she will say, "Look, that educated youth also said that, blah blah blah..."

Everyone in the village knows the reputation of the second old lady. She has been talking nonsense for a long time.

The biggest difference between her and Mrs. Yu is that Mrs. Yu only talks about things she doesn't like, so everyone hates and is annoyed with Mrs. Yu.

The second old lady told me that I heard someone say something like this...

It was originally something she spread, but as it spread, many names were added to it, and those things that were originally her imagination were placed in what others said...

She has become a person who only spreads messages. All the slanderous and malicious words were said by others. Once she cleared herself of the rumors, no one would bother with her anymore.

The one who was hated inexplicably became someone else...

The key is that people who hold grudges hold grudges secretly and trip others up silently. No one is stupid enough to ask others to verify what the second old lady said: "You said something about my family, did you really say it?"

The second old lady is lucky to be alive and well!

Xu Shiqing didn't care about the second old lady's fate, but Shen Lu couldn't. As long as she took the call today, not to mention the old bachelor, even the Ermao family would not let her go...

The Ermao family has always been our family. What happens is our own closed-door business. You don't have to worry about it even if they kill you. How can you, an outsider, have the right to point fingers at them?

Watching the two people leave, the second old lady pouted. It didn't matter to her if other people didn't say it out loud, because since she said it, it was said.

But that was a military coat, she had to think about it, she was here to make friends!

Forget it, it’s just like she’s entertaining these two people today. Anyway, when she releases the news later, she will definitely hear what she wants to hear.

Shen Lu, who was pulled out, was undergoing special training. Xu Shiqing explained carefully,

"No matter who you listen to, don't get involved in this kind of thing. Just listen. If you are asked for your opinion, it means you have no opinion. You have ears but no mouth. Remember that?"

Shen Lu nodded. She knew that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. She came here just to get some attention. Otherwise, she wouldn't have responded. It was also for the sake of getting more information from the second old lady.

But she knew her limits. She hadn't intended to respond to that remark just now. She had seen people like this before when she was working. They said one thing to one person and another to another. They said something so ridiculous that they wanted to move the needle on the other person!

She had suffered losses before, but she was straightforward and called the two people over directly to talk things out face to face!

Which words were said by me and how I said them? When we are confronted face to face, I can explain it all clearly!

In the end, the person who spread the rumor resigned, and since then no one dared to play with her...

"Yeah, I see."

Seeing that she was obedient, Xu Shiqing didn't say anything else. The two of them went to exchange peanuts. In the room, Gu Xiulan and Gu Mingjuan were one putting peanuts into a basket while the other was weighing them. Xie Lan was recording on the side and then pouring them into a dustpan.

This kind of work with low work points but still requiring constant busy work was assigned to the cowshed or educated youth in other brigades, but since Xie Jianmin took over as village chief, this work has been done by their own family members.

This is also why they are the only two brothers who can become officials in the surrounding villages.

No matter how old the people in the cowshed were, Xie Jianmin asked them to reclaim land at the foot of the mountain. There was no regulation on how much they had to produce every day before they could leave.

Those old people also knew that such treatment would not be found anywhere else. Now that they have special status, they don’t want to cause trouble for Xie Jianmin, so they never have much contact with the villagers on weekdays.

The reason why the educated youth were not allowed to work was simply because they had too much to do...

Gu Xiulan and Gu Mingjuan's eyes lit up when they looked at Shen Lu.

"Are you tired, Mr. Shen? If you are tired, take a rest, or your hands will still hurt tomorrow."

"Your aunt is right. If you are tired, take a rest here and talk to us."

Gu Mingjuan has been particularly nice to Shen Lu ever since she was told by Gu Xiulan. She has liked Xie Yao since she was a child, and she is very happy now that Xie Yao has a girl he likes.

This little girl has a sweet smile, is capable, not pretentious, and polite. The little girl next to her is also very quiet. Then look at the one at home...

Alas, let’s not talk about it!

These past few days, she and Xie Jianguang took turns to counsel her, but she still couldn't give up. She was still thinking about Ouyang Hua!

She also knew what her daughter had said: "She is grown up and can no longer be controlled by her mother." The key point is that the old couple have also carefully observed Ouyang Hua. If he is capable of supporting a family, they, the old couple, will work hard for their daughter until they can no longer work!

But no matter how the two of them looked at it, Ouyang Hua only had a good face, and the rest of his merits were nothing to speak of...

How will her daughter live from now on?

It's fine for Xie Jianguang to be the team leader now, but what if they get old and can't work anymore? Should she let her daughter go to the fields to support Ouyang Hua?

Absolutely not!

Therefore, the atmosphere in Xie Jianguang's home has been a bit tense these days. Gu Mingjuan and Xie Jianguang have been refusing to give in, and Xie Lan is also stubborn...

Just like this, everyone is holding their breath and no one is convinced~

"Xie Lan, when you have time, play more with Shen Zhiqing and Xu Zhiqing. A little girl should have a few good friends. Little Shen Zhiqing, can she come and play with you guys?"

Gu Mingjuan thought about going to find this Shen Zhiqing later to see if she could help persuade them with a few words. The old couple really had no other options. She wouldn't listen to her family members, but she could always listen to what her friends said.

Especially since they are all educated youth, they must have a deeper understanding of Ouyang Hua.

"Of course, Auntie, there's nothing wrong with that. We'll ask her to take us to dig wild vegetables when the time comes."

Xie Lan is chubby but fair-skinned, which is quite rare. Shen Lu and Xu Shiqing both like her very much. They look at Xie Lan and wait to see if she is willing.

Xie Lan blushed when being looked at by these two pretty girls. She not only likes good-looking men, but also women!!!

"Yes, I know there's a field of shepherd's purse that's growing really well. Whenever you two want to go there, I'll take you there."

When Gu Mingjuan saw that Xie Lan agreed so readily, she knew that this was the right move, but they had just started their relationship, and she couldn't let them talk about Ouyang Hua so quickly.

This matter can only be discussed after the relationship between the three people is stable and Xie Lan trusts the two.
