For a moment, Qin Yu thought she had been caught by the Lai family. The spot she had chosen was not conspicuous, and because it was close to the pigsty, people usually stayed away.
She always believed that she had a good sense of choosing the perfect spot to hide.
"Xiao Yu, what are you doing~" With a coarse voice and a rural accent, Qin Yu turned her head to see another lively country girl.
So rustic.
She used the perspective of a future mistress to look at the girl before her, but wouldn't you know it, she looked just like this girl before she fainted yesterday or after waking up until now — wearing thick cotton pants and an unidentifiable kind of jacket.
But she knew who this girl was.
Li Xiaoyun from Shangxi Village, who went with her to the town's middle school and was in the same class as her.
Perhaps due to Qin Yu's disheartened expression, the young Li Xiaoyun became a bit uneasy. "Xiao Yu, I heard you got knocked out by that stench in the paddy. Is your head still not feeling okay?"
If it weren't for the sincerity in your concern, I'd definitely slap you.
Your head is the one that's not feeling okay!
"Ah, maybe. That place really did stink." Qin Yu already appeared weak and feeble, and she was still leaning against the big tree.
Li Xiaoyun instantly believed her and became even more worried. "Have you done your homework yet? Classes start tomorrow."
Is there anything more tragic than her family's future misfortune?
Yes!
—For example, needing to turn in homework tomorrow.
However, this problem wasn't too big, and Qin Yu soon felt confident enough to say she could solve it.
Li Xiaoyun too was indecisive and unsensitive. After hearing this, she said no more, especially since she saw a group of people coming from the village committee.
"It's the village head and the others..." Li Xiaoyun immediately recognized her village head.
That bald head and big stomach.
Village head Lai Zhengyi indeed had a striking appearance, but according to popular belief, this was a sign of leadership, so he led the village committee members with great pride, giving pointers here and there, occasionally advising his nephew Lai Chun who was following him.
Although unemployed, Lai Chun still felt superior, speaking to his uncle with high regard. However, the group soon noticed the two young girls under the big tree next to the pigsty.
Li Xiaoyun wasn't eye-catching, but Qin Yu... the men present couldn't help but think of her mother's beauty, and thus their thoughts varied.
Lai Zhengyi shifted his eyes and approached the two girls, asking kindly why they were here.
Before Qin Yu could speak up, honest Li Xiaoyun said, "I was asking Xiao Yu about her homework. Classes start tomorrow."
When homework and school were mentioned, everyone looked down on Qin Yu and Li Xiaoyun who were both untidy and unattractive.
Oh, bad grades too.
Dead last kind of students.
If only they could inherit their biological mother's beauty. Not pretty and not smart, this is probably how they'll end up in the future.
Having lost interest, Lai Zhengyi glanced at Qin Yu and said, "Qin Yu, your father's furniture is not bad. Have him make me a few chairs one of these days. Don't ask your father to deliver them. He's busy. Have your mother come instead..."
The others chimed in agreement.
Qin Yu nodded woodenly, "Okay, I'll remember."
As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of a shadow in the background stealing something and spotted something pink...
She narrowed her eyes, maintaining her composure.
What a foolish look that was! Lai Chun chuckled.
The group left, Lai Chun casting one last glance at Qin Yu. For some reason, his gaze lingered at the base of Qin Yu's neck.
With a flat figure, nothing much to see.
He squinted and pursed his lips.
As they walked away, Qin Yu raised her hand and felt her collar button.
It must have been that bastard, but he didn't gain much advantage, only undoing three buttons before running away.
Is it because of the cat?
"Xiao Yu, I just saw something like..."
"Is there anything big happening in your village today?"
With Qin Yu's question, Li Xiaoyun immediately forgot what she was just about to say and answered that a wealthy person from the town wanted to purchase some vegetables and was going to visit their village in the afternoon.
Oh, an event like this, the village committees of several villages and the majority of the farmers should be aware of.
Only one person didn't know.
Qin Yu glanced at the retreating figure of Lai Zhengyi and the others, taking advantage of her father's deafness.
By the riverside, Qin Yu saw the cat stepping on the pink bra.
This pose should have looked cool, but both paws were stepping on it... she saw that it had split the bra into two where it had landed.
Seeing her coming, the cat lifted its chin, "Got it, impressive huh?"
