A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling
Chapter 12 On the Way to the County Town
"Exactly! If you ask me, it would be better to save that money to buy meat, or to buy some cloth for the family to make new clothes. How can a young girl spend money so carelessly? She doesn't know how to manage a household!"
The old woman with the whites of her eyes quickly echoed her old friend's words, implying that Yun Shu was spending her family's money.
The other two older women curled their lip at this shameless argument and rolled their eyes at these two opportunistic people.
Yun Shu was startled by this sudden action. After she came to her senses, she saw the impolite actions in his hands and the slanted eyes that kept flashing, which seemed to be pushing his luck. She was immediately furious.
Lin Jingshu, who was standing to the side, had just reacted and hadn't had time to stand up for her best friend when she saw her sweet and soft best friend, who was like a little bread roll, suddenly shake off the hand of the woman with the slanted eyes, and then frowned and spoke righteously to the two old women.
"Auntie, if you want to talk, just talk. Don't get physical."
"Besides, you're overthinking it. I spent money to buy this outfit, which doesn't mean I'm not good at managing money, nor will it mean we'll go hungry because of this outfit."
Those with slanted eyes and three-white eyes dared to make a direct move because they saw that Yun Shu and the others were unfamiliar faces, and Yun Shu looked particularly young, so they thought she was an easy target for bullying a new educated youth.
She really didn't expect that she, who had been so domineering in the team for so many years, would be humiliated and lose face by a little yellow-haired girl.
The old woman with slanted eyes, who had been shaken off, was stunned at first. After she came to her senses, she immediately flew into a rage, forgetting the lessons that Captain Xie had taught them over the years. She put one hand on her hip and the other directly in front of Yun Shu.
……
"You little brat, who are you trying to embarrass! Don't you even know who in Fengsheng Brigade dares to mess with me!"
Zhang Cuihua, with her slanted eyes, had probably been holding back for a long time, and now that she finally had a chance, she was able to unleash her full potential. Moreover, Captain Xie wasn't around, and if it weren't for the fact that she was on the oxcart restricting her actions, she would have jumped up and torn Yun Shu apart.
Upon hearing her introduce herself, Yun Shu immediately understood why this old woman was such a scoundrel. It was because this old woman was Zhang Cuihua, the one who repeatedly targeted the original female lead, Lin Jingshu, in the book, and even tried to marry the original female lead, who was losing money, to her good-for-nothing son.
"I was speaking to you so nicely and trying to advise you on how to manage a household, and I still managed to give you the wrong advice... Ouch!"
Zhang Cuihua started swearing, and her fingernails, still covered in black dirt, were gesturing in front of Yun Shu. Lin Jing Shu was so frightened that she quickly pulled her best friend back to prevent her from touching her, while stepping forward to take her best friend's place.
Three men walking nearby also tried to intervene, but before Zhang Cuihua could finish her shouting, Grandpa Zhang, who was driving the cart ahead, suddenly turned around and whipped her gesticulating and waving hand.
Zhang Cuihua immediately clutched her hand and cried out in pain. She looked up at the livid-faced old man driving the cart, but the words she wanted to shout were swallowed back down in fear.
There was nothing she could do; after all, this old man was her uncle from the same clan. He was her father's older brother, and he had beaten her quite a bit when she was little.
Zhang Cuihua was whipped, and her rationality returned somewhat, but she was also a woman in her forties with children who were about to get married. She was truly unwilling to be humiliated like this by a teenage girl.
So she covered her hands, looking aggrieved, and cried out again, "What are you doing! I didn't do anything, sir, why are you hitting me..."
"Still talking back! What else do you want? Who are you cursing at?!"
"Don't think I don't know what bad ideas you have. What business is it of yours what those young educated youth wear, good or bad? Why are you here to criticize and point fingers?"
"What! Do you think you can spend this money or manage it?"
"You dare to lay a hand on me again? I'll tell the brigade leader when I get back! Last year, you were just grabbing and pulling at some female educated youth, and it escalated into a fight that even the educated youth office knew about. How many work points did your family lose? You, Zhang Cuihua, never learn, do you!"
"If you dare cause trouble again, get out of here and go back to your unit! Don't embarrass yourself in public!"
"You worthless piece of trash! And you, Li Xiaohua, are the same, do you understand?"
"Did you hear me clearly..."
"Listen carefully and apologize to Xie Zhiqing! You're so old, yet you're not even as good as the kids in the village. Have you been dead for ages?"
"Thank you, educated youth, I'm sorry..."
The forest path, usually quiet and peaceful with birdsong and insect chirps, was suddenly shattered by Grandpa Zhang's outburst, which sent the birds and insects into flight, making it feel like Silent Hill.
The two "little grasshoppers" who had been called out huddled together, trembling. They dared not disobey, and having lost face, they had no choice but to nod in agreement. In their hearts, they were filled with remorse for not being able to control their mouths and hands today, and they were thinking about how to explain it to their men at home that night, and how to face the brigade leader's "little trouble".
……
After this commotion, things have finally quieted down.
Yun Shu, who had been apologized to, and Lin Jing Shu, who hadn't had a chance to speak, looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Ming, on the other hand, was the first to react. He quickly stepped forward and took out the half-empty box of Double Happiness cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Grandpa Zhang.
"Grandpa, you're a real man!"
Yun Shu quickly thanked him and took out a few White Rabbit candies from her pocket to give to Grandpa Zhang.
"Thank you, sir. Please take these candies home and give them to your children to sweeten their mouths."
"What are you doing! These are all good things, you can keep them for yourselves! Don't give them to me! You... hey, you kids~"
Unable to overpower Chen Ming and the eagerly waiting Yun Shu, Grandpa Zhang could only awkwardly stuff the items into his pocket.
Her mood was obviously even better, and she glanced at the two troublemakers behind her. Although she had some reservations about how these newly arrived educated youths were indeed generous and didn't know how to manage money, she knew that they were old enough to know what to say and what not to say. So, along the way, she stopped and started, explaining a lot about Fengsheng Brigade to the group.
When the oxcart arrived in the county town, Grandpa Zhang spoke to the group.
“You can send anything back first, and I’ll keep an eye on it for you. Or you can send it back to the educated youth station in the team first. The ox also needs to go back to rest and eat some feed. The morning bus will be back at ten o’clock.”
"Okay, sir, please wait for us a moment. I'll go to the post office to pick up the package my parents sent, and then I'll trouble you to take it back for me."
"I'll give you the key then. Could you please put my things inside and lock the door for me? You can give me the key back when I come back this afternoon."
There shouldn't be anything that could be hidden from the original owner's family after they mailed it; she could check it later and then have Grandpa Zhang take it back first. After all, she figured she would need to buy quite a few things from the supply and marketing cooperative, which would take up a lot of space, so sending some back first would be a good idea.
