“Chen Ying, didn’t you used to like Educated Youth Song?” Li Cuihua, hearing others gossiping, nudged Chen Ying who was squatting down pulling weeds. “Now Song Aloof belongs to the village flower of the Tang family. Bet you didn’t see that coming.”
Chen Ying shot the regretful-looking Li Cuihua a disdainful glance. “Who said I liked him?”
“Oh? You didn’t? Didn’t you secretly try to give him eggs before? I saw it,” Li Cuihua’s voice was a bit loud. “But he didn’t take them. Haha, that’s Song Aloof for you.”
Chen Ying frowned, clearly annoyed. “Cuihua, don’t talk nonsense about things you have no proof of. I’m engaged. When have I ever been involved with Educated Youth Song? If you keep ruining my reputation, don’t blame me for going to your Li family to sort things out.”
“Pft…” Li Cuihua felt a bit annoyed. She’d clearly seen it with her own eyes. Ever since Educated Youth Song came to the village, Chen Ying would come up to talk to him every few days. Anyone with eyes could see it. Now she was pretending like it never happened, suddenly acting like her reputation mattered?
How shameless. Already engaged and still trying to flirt with Educated Youth Song. Just look at her dried-out appearance. Does she think someone like him would be interested?
“Sister, is what Cuihua said true?” Chen Fangfang had been close by. She came over quietly after hearing Li Cuihua’s words. “Were you really interested in Educated Youth Song?”
“No such thing.” Chen Ying was starting to get annoyed. Rebirth might be a good thing, but dealing with her family was just as much of a pain.
Chen Fangfang wouldn’t let it go. “Sister, do you not like Xie Shijun?”
“If you don’t like Xie Shijun, why not ask Mom to say something and let me marry him instead? He’s serving in the army right now. I’ll be eighteen in two years, and I don’t mind that he’s older. You don’t like him anyway, so if I marry him, it can count as making up for it.”
Chen Ying nearly brought her hoe down on Chen Fangfang. This little sister of hers was just as shameless as in their past life.
She hadn’t even broken off her engagement with Xie Shijun yet, and here this one was trying to snatch him away.
“Fangfang!”
“Sister, why are you yelling at me?” Chen Fangfang shrieked, throwing a fit. “You obviously don’t like Xie Shijun, and there’s nothing wrong with what I said. We’re both daughters of the Chen family anyway…”
“Shut up!”
Chen Ying really wanted to jump up and tear Fangfang’s mouth apart. How could she have such a shameless younger sister?
Luckily, Li Cuihua hadn’t noticed what was going on over here. There weren’t many people around, and those farther away only gave a glance. Even so, Chen Ying’s face was already dark with anger.
“Mom, look, sister is being mean to me.”
Seeing Chen Fangfang run off toward Ding Yuzhen, Chen Ying nearly choked from holding back her rage.
Tang Guo, holding a kettle, stood at the edge of the field, watching Song Ye plow the land. As for Chen Fangfang and Chen Ying’s little drama, she had heard every word and couldn’t help but laugh a little.
“She didn’t get a golden finger when she was reborn? Like a portable space or something?”
[Nope, Host. Maybe the author wanted to show that the female lead could carve out a new life without cheats.]
At that moment, Song Ye had finished plowing a section of land. He wiped the sweat from his brow, and Tang Guo hurried over to greet him, pouring him a bowl of water.
Song Ye took a sip and immediately felt a coolness settle in his chest. Looking at his fair-skinned little wife in front of him, he said, “Guo Guo, go back inside. The sun’s too strong.” In truth, the weather wasn’t hot, the sun just looked harsh. Song Ye was sweating from the work of plowing.
“Ah Ye, I’ll wait for you here.”
“Alright.” Faced with his little wife’s sweet smile, Song Ye couldn’t resist and agreed instinctively. Right after agreeing, he looked at her a little helplessly. “Go sit under the tree.”
