The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature

After talking for a while, seeing that Zhou San's family wanted to keep dinner for them, Grandma Zhou quickly declined, "Laiying and his family are usually busy, and it's a rare trip back home, so we still have to eat at home. Yanhong has already prepared a few dishes, and we have to go back to eat at noon."

Zhou Sannai knew that what she said was true, so she didn't try to keep them. After chatting for a while, Grandma Zhou took the family out.

Unexpectedly, not long after coming out of Zhou Sannai's house, I saw Zhou Lanxiang turning from the fork in the road in front, and a young man of about 26 or 27 years old was following her.

Hua Rendong recognized at a glance that the young man was an educated youth from the old educated youth site. He had an ordinary appearance, but had a bit of arrogance as a scholar, and usually looked down on the farmers in the brigade.

Some of the people in the new educated youth sites were sent in after the last incident, and some were sent to other brigades. Those who were in the old educated youth sites who were able to return to the city have returned in recent years, and most of those who could not return to the city have married girls in the village.

Pei Yue, who had a good relationship with the monk Huaiyu before, also became upset because he mistakenly thought that he had angered the mountain god. He fled back home overnight. His family used their connections to get a certificate from the hospital and he was transferred back to the city for recuperation.

Now there are only six educated youths left in the old educated youth site, including Shang Huaiyu. This educated youth was one of the first group of educated youths who went to the countryside to Taohuawan Brigade. Hua Rendong didn't know his name, only that his surname was Xu, and everyone in the village called him Xu Zhiqing.

After all these years, he is the only educated youth left among those who went to the countryside with him.

Why did he come to see Zhou Lanxiang at this time? Seeing how they were talking to each other, they didn't seem unfamiliar with each other.

Grandma Zhou snorted angrily: "This troublesome girl!"

He looked back at the younger generation following behind him, and finally said to Hua Dahua: "Dahua, go call your cousin back!"

Hua Dahua agreed and chased towards the fork in the road.

Fortunately, Zhou Lanxiang and Xu Zhiqing were not walking fast, so Hua Dahua caught up with them in a few steps. Soon she heard her loud voice, "Lanxiang, grandma asked you to go home!"

Hua Honeysuckle used her special ability to probe out and observed through the willow tree next to them. She saw Zhou Lanxiang glaring at Hua Dahua and said in annoyance, "Don't lie to me. How could grandma still think of me as her granddaughter?"

"You don't know what's good for you!" Hua Dahua didn't say much to her. She took her hand and dragged her home. However, Zhou Lanxiang was determined not to go back with Hua Dahua. One hand tightly held Xu Zhiqing's hand, looking like a pair of star-crossed lovers who were about to be separated.

Xu Zhiqing was holding her hand, and his rough hands rubbed the back of her hand twice, but his eyes were on Hua Dahua's face, with surprise and greed in his eyes.

Hua Honeysuckle almost vomited when she saw this, and she swung a willow branch at Xu Zhiqing, which hit him in the face and immediately left a long scratch on his face.

Xu Zhiqing screamed in pain, shook off Zhou Lanxiang's hand, and covered his face in horror.

When he saw Shang Huaiyu and Pei Yue being punished by the "Mountain God" before, he thought they were suspicious. Now that they were really hit by a willow tree, he could also feel the fear in their hearts at that time.

But sadly, Pei Yue was able to escape back to the city from the Taohuawan Brigade, but he didn't even have a chance to escape.

Hua Dahua and Zhou Lanxiang, who were pulling at the tree, were also confused. They didn't understand why a good willow tree would whip people. Zhou Lanxiang thought of Shang Huaiyu and Pei Yue, who were rumored to be punished by the mountain god.

Hua Dahua thought of Old Chen's wife who was strangled by a willow tree by the river. A similar thing happened next to her. Hua Dahua looked at the tree in confusion. She just didn't like the educated youth and wanted to hit him. Could it be that the willow tree sensed her anger? Or did it have some special ability?

Otherwise, why does she happen to be there every time something supernatural happens?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Hua Dahua burst into laughter and said, "Oh, you are a bad person. Even the willow tree dislikes you."

Being ridiculed, Xu Zhiqing had no time to get angry, and he ran away in fear. Zhou Lanxiang saw that the Zhiqing she had hooked up with with great difficulty had run away, and she wanted to chase him, but she was held back by Hua Dahua and couldn't get away.

"Let go! Why are you holding me? Do you think I need your control?" She didn't understand. Hua Dahua grew up in the city, so why was she stronger than her who was used to doing farm work in the countryside?

Hua Dahua said proudly, "If grandma hadn't asked me to take you back, do you think I'm nosy about your business? You're stupid if you want to be deceived. Anyway, I don't live here, and you can't ruin my reputation."

Zhou Lanxiang was so angry that she almost cried, but she still defended Xu Zhiqing, "Why would a country boy like me be deceived by Xu Zhiqing? It was Xu Zhiqing who was willing to teach me during the slack season, unlike you who only laughs at my lack of education."

Hua Dahua curled her lips, "Tsk tsk, you are the only one who can make flirting sound so fresh and refined. So you blame me for your lack of education? Back then, you refused to continue studying before finishing elementary school. Did I ever persuade you? Did my mother ever persuade you? At that time, you didn't even want to go to school, you only wanted to earn work points to save up for your dowry. Who are you pretending to be for now?"

Zhou Lanxiang was hit on the heart, but she still refused to give in, so Hua Dahua dragged her back. Zhou Lanxiang sat on the ground and refused to get up, but Hua Dahua ignored her. The snow on the ground was thick, and there were no protruding stones except for some chicken and duck feces, so there was no fear that she would get hurt.

When they returned to the fork in the road, Zhou Lanxiang looked at Grandma Zhou's gloomy face, hurriedly got up from the ground, dusted off the snow on her body, and timidly hid behind Hua Dahua.

Grandma Zhou snorted at her, "How does Zhang Yun discipline his daughter?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked back.

Now Zhou Lanxiang didn't dare to compete with Hua Dahua anymore. She followed behind obediently without being dragged by Hua Dahua.

As soon as they got home, Grandma Zhou called Zhang Yun over and asked without making any noise, "Do you know who Lanxiang has met outside these days?"

Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Mom, are you talking about that educated youth? I think that young man is a little older, but he is educated and knows more than us country people. A while ago, two teachers from the village primary school returned to the city. It seems that he will be able to teach at the village primary school in the spring. He will also be a salaried person in the future. I heard that his family sends him five yuan every month. Then Lanxiang only needs to take care of the family's private plot and won't have to work in the fields. If his family can use their connections to transfer him back to the city, Lanxiang will marry him and become a city dweller in the future."

Grandma Zhou snorted, "You are dreaming. If his family could use connections, they would have done it long ago. He hasn't been back to the city for so long, so he could just cheat on some girls in the countryside. I'm telling you, I don't agree with this. If you insist on marrying Lanxiang to him, and he gets a chance to return to the city and dump her, don't cry to me."

Zhang Yun was stunned and murmured, "No way? I don't think Xu Zhiqing is that kind of person."
