Chapter 8 drove the person away with its insults.
Hearing what the other educated youth said, she immediately perked up, "Let me tell you, Qiao An is my second sister-in-law. Yesterday, she made our family suffer."
"She kept saying she wanted a divorce and that she didn't want the child anymore. But when she came back yesterday, she was like a completely different person. She shrugged off what she had said and denied it! She even tried to extort 240 yuan from us."
"What? 240? She's got some nerve! That's more money than you can earn in a year."
"That's right. She's the laziest person in the family. She won't even pick up a fallen oil bottle. She beats the children if she's not happy. We only take care of her because we feel sorry for her since my second brother lives in the Northwest. But look what happened, she got bitten off by a vicious dog."
"Just you wait and see, someone like her won't be long before she's begging to come back to us."
Qiao An approached and chuckled.
"Ouch! No wonder it smells so bad under this old walnut tree. Turns out someone's farting." Qiao An covered her nose.
Only then did the people under the tree notice that it was Joan walking over.
Two long, jet-black ponytails, each tied with a colorful hair tie at the end. Those hair ties were clearly not cheap; at least, the town's supply and marketing cooperative certainly didn't have them.
And those green cargo pants, and that white shirt whose material you can't tell.
When Qiao An stood there, she didn't look like a country girl at all.
Like women in big cities.
As she approached, Xu Chunping smelled a faint fragrance of osmanthus on her.
It smells so good.
Xu Chunping couldn't help but twitch her nose.
Wang Shuyun was somewhat incredulous when she saw Qiao An dressed like this.
Yesterday she looked like a pitiful beggar, but today she looks like a city person.
His face and hands looked much paler.
"Where...where did you get these clothes?"
"I bought it with the money I snatched from the mouth of a vicious dog," Qiao An casually remarked.
Wang Shuyun was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that Qiao An was cursing at her.
"You're talking nonsense! I just paid you back yesterday, and it's only been one night. Where are you going to buy clothes?"
Joanne raised an eyebrow. "Oh! So you know that money was to be returned to me?"
"Do you even know what 'still' means? You even went to school? I think you went to the dogs."
"Qiao An! How dare you talk like that!" Wang Lijuan couldn't sit still any longer.
Wang Lijuan is 19 years old this year. She graduated from high school and is the most educated woman in Lianchi Village.
Because of their high level of education, they also have high aspirations.
He doesn't work in the fields normally; he just stays at home writing articles and submits them to various newspapers. He's been doing this for two years, but hasn't received a single paper.
Her family tried to arrange a marriage for her, but she either disliked the man because he was too short or too poor.
They have nothing to complain about except that others are uncultured.
In her past life, Wang Lijuan came to Wang Shuyun's house once.
Qiao An happened to be passing by the east wing where Lao San's family lived when she heard two people talking inside.
Wang Lijuan called him "Brother Huo" so affectionately.
They also inquired about when Huo Jiyun would return and how his relationship with Qiao An was going.
It's as clear as day.
"Who do you think you are, interrupting me when I'm talking to Wang Shuyun? Who do you think you are?"
Qiao An was always said to be domineering in her past life, and even after transmigrating into this book, she still has the same personality, which she can't change.
"Is my sister wrong? Everyone knows how you treat Brother Huo's child, do we need to say it?" Wang Lijuan said angrily, her face flushed.
"Second Brother Huo?" Qiao An pinched her nose and mimicked her voice, "You call him so affectionately, anyone who didn't know better would think Second Brother Huo is your man!"
"Why...why are you saying such hurtful things?" Wang Lijuan looked up and met Qiao An's eyes, feeling as if Qiao An could see right through her.
"There's something even worse, do you want to hear it?"
Joan put her hands on her hips. Since the tractor hadn't come anyway, she figured she might as well just sit around doing nothing.
"Huo Jiyun's child isn't yours. The Emperor isn't worried, but you, the eunuch, are. What? Are you eager to become someone's stepmother?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking? Being so old and still unmarried means you're eyeing other women's men. Have you no shame?"
"Your sister cheated my man out of money, and you, on the other hand, directly tried to sleep with him. My God, your Wang family is truly one of a kind, like a scorpion dropping shit."
Wang Shuyun and Wang Lijuan's faces instantly turned a deep purplish-red.
"Qiao An! You...you..." Wang Shuyun's lips trembled for a long time, and she didn't know how to reply.
Wang Lijuan had never been in a relationship and was easily embarrassed; a few words from Qiao An made her cry.
"Sister, I...I'm going home first, I'm not going to town." Wang Lijuan covered her face and ran into the village.
"Even great men say we must be realistic and pragmatic. How come we can't even listen to a single honest word? Sigh! Our thinking is still not sophisticated enough."
After Qiao An finished speaking, she sat down in the spot where Wang Lijuan had just been sitting, which saved her the trouble of wiping the dirt.
Xu Chunping, Feng Xiaoli, and several other educated youths squeezed to the side.
She wanted to stay away from Qiao An, afraid of getting herself into trouble.
Wang Shuyun was so angry that her chest heaved, so she simply turned her head away and refused to look at her.
Not long after, a series of "bang bang bang" sounds came from afar.
Li Qiusheng drove his tractor over and parked it next to the old walnut tree.
He glanced around, and finally his gaze settled on Joan.
Her clothes were clean and neat, and her two thick black braids hung down to her waist. Standing there, no one would think she was a woman who had given birth to two children.
For the first time in so many years, Li Qiusheng clearly saw what Qiao An looked like.
I must say, he's really handsome.
Those big, bright eyes seemed to speak volumes.
Yesterday, Li Qiusheng heard from his wife that Qiao An had caused a scene at the Huo family. He didn't believe it. Qiao An had been married into Lianchi Village for four years, and she always walked with her head down when she saw people outside. She was so quiet that she wouldn't say a word.
Can someone as timid as him really cause trouble for the Huo family?
"Brother Li!" Qiao An got up, patted his butt, and ran to the front of the tractor.
Qiao An took out a dollar from her pocket and gave it to Li Qiusheng through the window.
"Wait here, I'll give you your change later," Li Qiusheng said with a smile as he took the money.
"No need to look, Brother Li. I don't want to sit in the back. Anyway, the seat next to you is empty, so can I sit here?"
The tractors in the village were imported goods that had been phased out by the town. They had separate cabs and were two-seaters.
Joanne remembers that the driver's seat even had a cushion.
She didn't want to be stuck in her back pocket eating dirt.
Li Qiusheng was stunned for a few seconds.
One dollar!
Just so I could sit in the driver's seat?
Qiao An's wife is really a spendthrift. Huo Jiyun is quite unlucky to have such a wife.
"Okay, come on up." Li Qiusheng opened the side door for her.
Xu Chunping and the others also came over.
Upon seeing that Qiao An had actually gotten into the driver's seat, he immediately objected, "Why is Qiao An sitting there?"
"Exactly, everyone gets the same pay, so why does she get to sit in the driver's seat while we're crammed into the back?" Feng Xiaoli asked, frowning.
Li Qiusheng disliked these educated youths from the start; not only did they slack off at work, but they also looked down on them as rural people.
"If you give me a piece of paper, I'll let you make the driver's cab too."
piece!
Wang Shuyun's heart was bleeding when she heard this.
The money Qiao An has is all taken from her yesterday.
I paid a dollar just to sit in the driver's seat.
damned!
When Xu Chunping and Feng Xiaoli heard that Qiao An had actually given them a dollar, they immediately shut their mouths.
Although my family sends money every month, it's too extravagant to spend a dollar to ride a tractor.
Xu Chunping snorted coldly and climbed into the back of the shed with Feng Xiaoli.
The tractor roared again.
Just as Qiao An was feeling dizzy and about to vomit, the tractor finally stopped.
She almost lost her balance as soon as she got off the car.
