“Waa…”

Wen Taohua cried out in pain.

“It hurts!”

Her whole body was in pain!

After being kicked by that wretched Gu An’an yesterday, the bruises on her body had yet to heal. The pain would come in waves from time to time. And now, she was unlucky enough to have fallen again. How was she going to bear with all this pain?

Wen Taohua lay on the ground and cried loudly, disregarding her image. Within a few minutes, the women living nearby quickly gathered around.

Looking at the scene in front of them—

“Oh my… Oh my…”

“What is going on?”

“Why is there a young girl crying and shouting at the entrance of the village chief’s courtyard?”

Looking at her crying like a baby with snot and tears streaming down her face, it was simply…

Unbearable to watch!

“Guizhi, what’s going on here? Who is this girl? And why is she crying right here outside your door?”

“Exactly, she looks like she’s around nineteen? A young girl who is crying so sorrowfully, is there a chance that your youngest son has bullied her and is shirking responsibility?”

Woah!

Those words instantly piqued everyone’s curiosity.

The crowd was now staring at the village chief, his wife, and Wen Taohua. While scrutinizing the three of them, the curiosity in their eyes was obvious.

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Chen Guizhi’s face darkened immediately. She glared at the woman who was stirring up trouble and said fiercely, “Zhou Zhaodi, I’m warning you. If you dare to slander my son again, don’t blame me for throwing rancid water at your doorstep!” She was truly giving her face.

“You!”

Zhou Zhaodi’s sallow face, which was covered in freckles, instantly turned dark with anger.

“Then what is she…” A woman who was on good terms with Chen Guizhi pointed at Wen Taohua, who was lying on the ground, with a look of confusion in her eyes.

“It’s all because…”

Chen Guizhi glanced at Wen Taohua coldly and immediately clapped her hands. Hearing this loud clap, Wen Taohua’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t care about crying and could hardly feel the aches on her body anymore. Getting up from the ground, she quickly ran away.

“Hey, why are you running? Weren’t you crying very hard just now? Why have you stopped? Hey, hey, hey, don’t go…”

The louder she shouted, the faster Wen Taohua ran. In less than two minutes, she had disappeared.

Seeing this, Chen Guizhi spat on the ground with a mocking look in her eyes. “Ptui! I really thought how pompous she was, but she’s nothing but a spineless coward!”

“What’s going on? Why was she crying at your door?” A woman couldn’t help but ask. She was extremely curious about the girl who had just run away.

Upon hearing the woman’s question, Chen Guizhi immediately rolled her eyes and said, “What else could it be? She was sent here by the youth commune yesterday. Our village was assigned with four of them. There were three women and one man.”

“My youngest son came back last night and said that the other two female youths looked quite honest, but the girl, Wen Taohua, who had just run away, and the male youth, were both troublemakers.”

“Especially Wen Taohua. She started causing trouble the minute she got off the train…”

Chen Guizhi didn’t try to cover up for Wen Taohua at all. She told everyone about every single thing that the girl had done.

“Wow! She truly has thick skin.”

“Yeah, how could she have the audacity to ask for someone to drive them to town in the tractor? What was she thinking?”

“Village Chief, you can’t indulge them. These two have been causing trouble since they arrived. If you don’t teach them a lesson, who knows how much trouble they will cause in the future.”

“That’s right! Village Chief, why don’t you assign that male youth to clear the manure when he starts work tomorrow? As for the girl, let her clean the cow shed for ten days to half a month. Even the most unruly person will become obedient and settle down.”

…

After Chen Guihua finished speaking, everyone found out the truth behind the matter. In the countryside, they were not used to having troublemakers who stirred up trouble all the time. Hence, everyone immediately started discussing how to deal with those two.

For a moment, there were all kinds of comments. Some scolded Wen Taohua for being evil, some scolded her for being vicious. There were also those who believed that her thinking was incorrect and that she deserved to be reprimanded and corrected.

In short, Wen Taohua and Huang Dahai’s actions had successfully made them the talk of the village.

In the end, Wen Taohua made her way to town by foot, her heart filled with resentment. On the way, she bumped into Huang Dahai and they parted ways after a big fight.

…

On the other side, Wen Taohua and Huang Dahai were rushing to town with extremely dark expressions. But at this moment, in town…

Gu An’an was walking on the streets with her shopping bags. Her mood was no longer as good as before.

As there was a lot of yellow clay on this road, thick sand kept flying towards her, making it quite hard for her to endure the feeling of eating dirt.

After walking for a short while, she felt that her face, head, and clothes were covered in a thick layer of soil.

After countless gusts of sand blew past her, Gu An’an couldn’t help but sigh. She had taken a bath and washed her hair for nothing.

“Comrade Gu, do you need me to help you carry your bags?”

Just as she finished sighing, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.

“…” This voice??

Gu An’an stopped and turned around. Seeing that it was indeed the village chief’s son, Zhao Mingyu, she said, “Thank you for offering to help. I can carry them myself.”

She thanked him politely.

And then—

“I can see that your hands have turned red from the weight. I’ll help you carry them. You’re going to the ox cart anyway and I am going the same way.”

Without giving Gu An’an a chance to refuse, Zhao Mingyu reached out and grabbed the things from her hand before striding off. He was so fast that it looked as if someone was chasing after him. After a few long strides, he had moved quite a distance from her.

“!!!”

Gu An’an was dumbfounded. “What was going on?”

“Hurry up and follow me!” The man’s cold voice sounded from in front.

When Zhao Mingyu saw that Gu An’an was not catching up with him, he turned around and called out to her.

Hearing this, Gu An’an nodded slightly and replied with a soft “Oh!” Then, she continued walking ahead in a daze.

Her expression looked normal, but her mind was filled with countless thoughts.

She didn’t quite know what he was up to. When she saw him suddenly appear behind her and swooping in to help her with her bags, she was momentarily confused.

Yesterday, he was behaving like a cold and mean man. Even this morning, when they were on their way to town this morning, he was constantly wearing a distant and indifferent expression on his face. What had caused the sudden change in him?

Gu An’an walked forward in confusion. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn’t figure it out…
