Chen Qishan had been listening quietly in the back.

Hearing Chen Yaohua call him out of the blue, he jumped up and answered respectfully, "Uncle, I'm back to take care of some business."

Chen Yaohua asked casually. He knew that Chen Qishan worked in the city, and that he must have something to do if he came all the way back. Otherwise, who would come back?

"Alright, since you're already here, don't rush home. Help us clean up the room next door later."

Thinking that Comrade Lin had arrived so late and probably hadn't eaten yet, Chen Yaohua gave the brigade leader another instruction.

“This young comrade has come from a long way, and it’s late now. She probably hasn’t eaten much. Have your wife cook her a bowl of noodles and bring it over.”

Yueyao felt uneasy ever since she arrived here.

When the topic turned to her, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, no need, don't waste food on me. I'll take a nap and it will be dawn soon. I'll make myself something to eat when it's light."

Now every household has a food ration. If I eat their food, what if they mind? I've just arrived, so I shouldn't cause them any trouble.

But the captain didn't mind, waving his hand dismissively: "It's alright, how much can a little girl like you eat?"

Lin Yueyao thought to herself, "I actually have a pretty big appetite."

But she was too embarrassed to say it out loud; Chen Yaohua could see her hesitation.

They said, "You've just arrived in the countryside. We have your rations here, so don't worry about eating them. You can bring more rations to the brigade leader later."

After all, this is their first time here, so they need to handle things properly.

After explaining everything, the three of them went to tidy up his house, while Lin Yueyao rested inside.

After the house was tidied up, the brigade leader's wife cooked a bowl of noodles for Lin Yueyao.

This looks pretty good, with some greens and chili peppers added, but it's just a watery broth, though they've put in a lot of salt...

People eat less salty food.

.........

After Yueyao arrived in Chenjia Village, time flew by, and before she knew it, half a month had passed.

In the past two weeks, Yueyao has gone from being very cautious to being so tired that she can't even straighten her back.

I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow every day, with no time to think too much. The blisters on my hands burst and calluses form, and this cycle repeats itself endlessly.

Lin Yueyao was on the verge of becoming withdrawn from this kind of life every day. She knew that rural life was not easy, but she never imagined it would be this difficult!

Half a month! A whole half month! She didn't get a proper rest at all.

She had only been there for one day and the team leader was already introducing Yueyao to everyone.

Then he threw her a hoe, assigned her a job, and made her follow the young girls and wives to the cornfield to weed.

He went off to attend to his own business.

Yueyao squatted by the stream, looking at her reflection in the water.

Although her face was a bit dark, it was still much fairer than the women in the countryside who were tanned dark by the sun all day.

When people first meet Yueyao, they compare her to rural women, which is quite an exaggerated comparison.

After all, although Yueyao wasn't valued in the Lin family, she had never done any heavy work, no matter how tough things were at home.

It's sheltered from the wind, rain, and sun; even if it gets dark, how dark can it get?

In other words, washing dishes, doing laundry, and doing housework, the biggest harm Yueyao suffered at home was the psychological trauma inflicted by the Lin family.

Years of mental stress have led to Yueyao's mental health issues.

Actually, Yueyao is very pretty and not dark-skinned at all.

Back in the Lin family, she dared not stand out too much.

Whether it's academic performance or appearance.

Lin's mother harbored deep hatred towards her daughter, which Lin Yueyao couldn't understand when she was young, and she still doesn't understand now.

She didn't understand why, but every time her mother stared at her face, she would have a terrifying expression on her face.

Until one day, while cooking, she accidentally wiped her face with her hands, which were covered in soot.

It made her originally fair and delicate face look dark.

Upon seeing this, Lin's mother looked away, and her eyes, which had been fixed on Yueyao, were no longer on her.

It was only then that Yueyao realized that her mother couldn't stand her being good-looking.

So Yueyao learned how to use the flatbread to gently spread it evenly on her face, making her face appear less white and less tender.

Gradually, as long as Yueyao wasn't outstanding or remarkable, and didn't attract the attention of the three men in the Lin family, Lin's mother stopped tormenting her.

As a result, Yueyao's face never turned pale again for the next few years.

Yueyao's ability to get into university was a last-ditch effort.

The reason Lin's mother allowed her to attend school for so many years was because she initially thought Lin Yueyao's grades were not good.

In addition, her husband prides himself on being a cultured man, and if he doesn't let their youngest daughter go to school, people will always gossip about it.

Anyway, Lin's mother felt that since Lin Yueyao was useless and wouldn't amount to anything even if she studied, then she should let her continue studying.

The Lin family never expected that Lin Yueyao would achieve such remarkable results in the college entrance examination, outperforming even the two sons whom Lin's father had painstakingly taught.

Although Lin Yueyao was admitted to university, her mother still strongly opposed her going to university.

However, considering various factors, Lin's father still let Lin Yueyao go.

Yueyao in her previous life did indeed bring benefits to the Lin family, allowing them to weather the storm safely.

In this life, Yueyao escaped from the Lin family ahead of time, which caused the Lin family to suffer a silent loss!

After Yueyao finished work in the evening, the people who worked with her kept their distance from her.

Firstly, we weren't very familiar with each other, and secondly, I heard she was a college student, so I felt a distance between her and cultured people.

However, when young women and wives go home together, they always have endless topics to talk about, so now everyone gathers together and chatters away.

Li Meiduo walked among them, filled with curiosity about this educated youth she had never met in her previous life.

Perhaps it's because she was reborn, which changed reality.

After all, she didn't have a son in her past life, but she has one in this one!

"Third Sister-in-law, what are you looking back for? Hurry up!"

A girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old noticed Li Meiduo tilting her head to look behind her as she walked, and couldn't help but remind her.

Li Meiduo casually agreed, putting away her doubts.

"Why is this new educated youth working with us every day? She's an educated person, shouldn't she be doing different things than us?"

A young woman who had just married into Chenjia Village brought up the matter that had been puzzling everyone for the past few days.

At first, when the brigade leader introduced this new city girl to them so seriously, everyone thought she was a remarkable person!

But after observing for the past few days, everyone felt that these educated youths were nothing special.

Aren't we just like them, going to work and coming home together?

What's so special about it?
