Chapter 18 The Troubles of the Educated Youth Settlement

"Wen Shuang, I will tell you about this once I have investigated it thoroughly. Remember, you must bring Granny Qin back!"

Lord Liu doesn't know what to say now. Could it be that your sister isn't your sister?

Seeing his father's serious expression, Brother Liu knew that this matter was of great importance, so he immediately went to the estate to fetch the man himself.

While Lord Liu of the Great Qian Dynasty was trying to pry the truth out of Granny Qin, Yang Mingyue in Majiatun was facing a troubling matter.

"Li Zhiqing, please stay away from me!"

I don't know what's wrong with this Li Zhiqing, he keeps getting close to her and saying things that seem plausible but are actually nonsense.

"Mingyue, this vegetable dumpling is something I specially saved for you!" Li Zhiqing insisted on giving Yang Mingyue a vegetable dumpling.

"Li, please call me Comrade Yang! We're not that close yet!"

Yang Mingyue was annoyed. He kept saying that it was specially saved for her, but didn't she get her share of the food at the educated youth settlement? The vegetable dumplings were clearly made with everyone's food, so how did he make it seem like it was something he had saved for himself?

Don't think she doesn't know what this educated youth Li is up to; he just wants to take advantage of her because she works so well.

You should know that when she first arrived at the educated youth settlement, this educated youth, Li, didn't even glance at her when he heard that her family was an ordinary working-class family.

She's being so enthusiastic now, doesn't she realize that this educated youth Li has ulterior motives?

Under these circumstances, how could Yang Mingyue possibly pay any attention to him?

Moreover, since she knew there would be a college entrance exam, Yang Mingyue had no intention of finding a partner.

Her childhood experiences taught her that no one is worth relying on except herself.

Besides, this Li Zhiqing is too weak, and she doesn't like him.

Yang Mingyue's words made Li Zhiqing's face turn ugly.

However, he quickly composed himself and continued to pretend to be concerned.

"Ming... Yang Zhiqing, I was just concerned about you!"

To be honest, Li, the educated youth, really did have the idea of ​​taking advantage of Yang Mingyue. There was nothing she could do, since she was the most capable among this group of educated youth.

This group of educated youth has been here for a month, but they are still not used to doing farm work. They can't even get the work points stipulated by the brigade every day, except for Yang Mingyue.

No one knows where she got her strength from, but she worked silently every day. Even though she wasn't the prettiest girl in the educated youth settlement, Li, the educated youth, still had his eye on her.

Having learned that she was the second child in her family and had been sent to the countryside because she was not favored, Li, the educated youth, decided to "care" for her more. After all, she was a girl, and with a few sweet words, she would be easily won over, and then someone would do her farm work.

He never expected that Yang Mingyue wouldn't fall for it.

Before Yang Mingyue could continue to refute, another female educated youth at the educated youth settlement spoke up.

"Brother Li, some people don't appreciate kindness! You've been so good to her and still care about her!"

The speaker was Gao Xiaoling, who was considered the wealthiest person in the educated youth settlement.

It's also because Li Zhiqing cast a wide net that he was able to attract so many people. He had a refined and gentle appearance, and seemed to be kind and caring to everyone. How could a young girl like Gao Xiaoling resist Li Zhiqing's charm?

Li Zhiqing thought he was going to suffer a defeat, but Gao Xiaoling spoke up for him.

In his mind, Gao Xiaoling was also a good catch, a suitable big fish.

According to his inquiries, Gao Xiaoling was very spoiled at home and brought a lot of things with her when she went to the countryside.

As for Yang Mingyue, he wouldn't give up on her either, since it would be difficult for her to make a living in the countryside on her own.

Li Zhiqing cleverly planned to develop two relationships: one to help him with chores and the other to provide for his food and drink.

Thinking of this, he quickly pretended to be hurt, "Xiaoling, don't say that. Maybe Yang Zhiqing doesn't like vegetable dumplings. It's my fault."

"Brother Li, food is so precious these days, and you've even saved your own rations! I think it's just that some people don't appreciate it!"

When Gao Xiaoling saw that the person she liked was actually speaking up for Yang Mingyue, she immediately glared at Yang Mingyue disapprovingly.

Yang Mingyue was speechless. Going to work every day was hard enough, and then she had to deal with this kind of thing when she got home. It was so annoying.

Listen to how nicely this educated youth Li speaks; anyone who didn't know better would really think she's ungrateful!

If she remembered correctly, Li Zhiqing's vegetable dumplings were made from the rations of everyone in their educated youth settlement, so how did they become his own rations?

Gao Xiaoling is blind and ignorant. Can't she see what's obvious? Yet she's still speaking up for that Li Zhiqing!

She initially thought it was normal for the other person to be young and not fully recovered from being deceived, but now it seems that Gao Xiaoling is treating her as a love rival and deliberately targeting her.

Who would want this Li Zhiqing!

She wasn't saying it herself, but everyone in the entire educated youth settlement could tell what kind of person this Li educated youth was. Only Gao Xiaoling seemed to be blinded by love, thinking that her sweetheart was so wonderful!

The others who hadn't visited the educated youth settlement remained silent, their faces showing amusement at the spectacle.

Thinking of this, Yang Mingyue said bluntly, "What's there to cherish? Is he saving his own food rations? This is made from the food rations of everyone in the educated youth settlement. Is he trying to act like a big shot by taking other people's things? If you like it, take it. I, Yang Mingyue, don't need this little bit of stuff!"

"You! How could you say that about Brother Li? He was only doing it for your own good!"

"Just because he means well, does that mean I have to accept it? Besides, if he really means well, he shouldn't use other people's things to save face! He should bring out his own food!"

The other members of the educated youth settlement nodded silently after hearing Yang Mingyue's words.

"Alright, you two stop arguing over me!" Li Zhiqing thought, if this continued, Yang Mingyue would really ask him to bring out something to eat.

He was reluctant to leave, not knowing how long he would have to stay in the countryside. His family wasn't as well-off as Gao Xiaoling's; he had tricked his way back all those things.

"You're arguing for me? How can you be so shameless! I think you're just reluctant to part with your things!" Yang Mingyue knew, of course, that she had touched a nerve with Li Zhiqing.

"Of course I don't have any. We are all revolutionary comrades, so it is only right that we share something. But as you know, my family is in difficult circumstances, and I also need to take care of my younger siblings, so I don't have much."

Li Zhiqing's complaining manner immediately aroused Gao Xiaoling's pity.

"Brother Li is already so upset, and some people just have no heart!"

Gao Xiaoling realized she couldn't win an argument with Yang Mingyue, so she glared at her and ran back into the house.

The others watched the scene with great interest. There was no other way; life in the countryside was so tough, and a little relaxation now and then was quite nice.

As for Li Zhiqing taking everyone's rations to save face, it's okay, they'll take it back at the next meal.

When Li Zhiqing saw Gao Xiaoling running away after speaking up for him, he didn't chase after her. Instead, he casually returned to the table with the vegetable dumplings in his hand and continued eating.

Fortunately, Yang Mingyue had already finished eating, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to eat in front of such a person.

She sighed. If the atmosphere at the educated youth settlement continued like this, she would have to consider whether she should start her own firefighting operation.

It's busy farming season now, and she still needs to cook for herself after work. She's worried she won't be able to manage, so she's decided to put up with it for now. Luckily, the other educated youth are all normal people.

As for what Li Zhiqing was thinking, he didn't think he had failed, after all, he had never failed in the city.

He simply took Yang Mingyue's resistance as a sign that she was timid and shy because she had just arrived in the countryside. He was sure he could win her over in time.

And then there's Gao Xiaoling. She only had to beckon him, and he immediately latched onto her, which made Li Zhiqing's confidence soar.

At this time, Yang Mingyue was unaware that this Li Zhiqing was a playboy who wanted to keep her in a pond.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Li, the educated youth, had understood what she said and would stop bothering her.

Little did they know, they were planning to slowly boil the frog in water.

Life in the countryside was indeed tough. Yang Mingyue had never done so much farm work before, but she had read the novel on the train beforehand, so she was mentally prepared.

Besides, she's still thinking about the college entrance exam. She needs to consider the expenses after she gets into university.

The more work you do, the more work points you accumulate, and the easier things will be for you in the future.

As for her family, she hadn't received a letter or package from them even after a month in the countryside. She was initially upset, but she eventually came to terms with it and decided that she would rely on herself more in the future.

She didn't want to think about it anymore; she still had to answer Grandma Liu's question.
