Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 185: Spreading Those Rumors

"I've been saying this since the beginning. Stop talking about other people's family affairs and other people's right and wrong. What good will it do you to talk about these things?"

Just as Zhao Ying continued to wipe her tears, her father Su Yang, who had never spoken a word, turned around and lit a cigarette for himself. Although he didn't look at anyone, it was obvious that his words were meant for Jiang Panhua.

"Listen, listen to your father more often. Wanwan and his friends went to Baihua Village to do so much work and came back after such a long time. Instead of saying you felt sorry for them, you grabbed them and asked them all these nonsense questions. Is this how you act as a sister-in-law?"

Since his father Su Yang had spoken, the third brother Su Di naturally could not remain silent.

"Didn't I just walk by and listen? How can I not ask about something so immoral? My little sister is back now, can't I ask?"

After finishing the meal, Zhao Ying took Su Wanwan back to her room, and with a distressed look on his face, he helped Su Wanwan unpack their luggage.

He even asked about every day she spent in Baihua Village.

Su Wanwan had to find ways to speak more normally every day to prevent Zhao Ying from having any suspicion.

"Wanwan, did you unpack the luggage your mother gave you before you left? Why do so many things inside seem to have never been moved?"

Mother Zhao Ying was unpacking the large luggage that weighed about 50 to 60 kilograms, while she frowned and counted the things she took out from it.

Su Wanwan nodded helplessly: "Except for this luggage, the other things I brought are enough for daily use. There is no need to take out everything in it with so much effort."

"Oh, it's all mother's fault. I was worried about you because this was your first time traveling far away, so I wanted to bring you everything I could use..."

Zhao Ying gradually took out the things from the huge bag that was full of things. "You just told mom that you went to work in the fields every day in the first few days?"

Su Wanwan nodded.

"Then is the task assigned to you by Baihua Village heavy? What time do you leave in the morning?"

"Um... ahem, I go to the fields around eight or nine in the morning, and finish work at four or five in the evening and go back to the dormitory." When answering this, Su Wanwan even wanted to laugh.

"Then why did you tell mom that you got up at around four in the morning?"

Zhao Ying narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Wanwan with a look of confusion.

Su Wanwan: “…”

Did she just say that?

"Wanwan, tell me the truth. Is your life in Baihua Village like what you just said? I've heard some rumors these past few days. It seems like you're being treated specially in Baihua Village."

Upon hearing what Zhao Ying said, Su Wanwan immediately became alert.

Even Jiang Panhua could hear some rumors about their situation in Baihua Village from other people. As a mother who was much more popular than Jiang Panhua, she could find out most of the news in the village if she wanted to...

After she left, her mother must have asked the villagers about everything about her life in Baihua Village out of concern for her...

"Wanwan, don't worry. Although your father doesn't have any great abilities, he is the village chief after all. If you are really treated specially by them, you must not endure it. Tell your father everything. Your father can still handle these things for you."

Although she didn't know what rumors her mother had heard in the village, she thought it was probably not good news. Su Wanwan suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, but she still tried to smile.

"Mom, didn't I tell you before? This might be the first time their village has accepted exchange youths, so they don't have much experience. The work assigned to us was a bit too much, but later I went to work at the health center, didn't I? The work points they calculated for me were still the same as the work points I earned from harvesting rice in the fields. So, in the end, I made some money."

Naturally, Su Wanwan would not take the initiative to tell her father about the grievances she had suffered in Baihua Village. After all, in addition to being wronged during the exchange, she also discovered many things she had never known before.

If the matter really escalates to the level of mutual investigation between the two villages, not to mention the strained relationship between the two villages, more importantly, the young people who have had contact with these exchanged youths, such as Wang E and Lan Ying, will definitely be investigated.

At that time, the words of some young people will become evidence of understanding the situation.

Su Wanwan felt a headache just thinking about how complicated things would become if she did this.

"Wanwan is usually the most well-behaved person and would never lie to your mother. Are the things you just said true?"

After pushing all the organized things aside, Zhao Ying once again pulled Su Wanwan's hand with heartache.

"Mom, I promise that I'm telling the truth. You don't have to believe all the rumors in the village. You know, because of my work... many people in the village have long been fed up with me, and Xu Yan, who went with us to exchange, also..."

At the end of her speech, Su Wanwan suddenly didn't know how to continue.

Dad and Mom already knew that she was interested in Xu Yan...

"Now that you mention this, I was just about to ask you something." Zhao Ying seemed to have remembered something and squeezed Su Wanwan's hand hard. "Although I don't believe what your third sister-in-law said just now, please tell me clearly, what is the relationship between Li Meifen and Xu Yan?"

After all, it concerns Su Wanwan's lifelong event. Although Zhao Ying upholds the concept of freedom and believes that Su Wanwan will never make mistakes at critical moments, she is a mother after all, and it would be a lie to say that she doesn't care.

If Xu Yan was not her ideal son-in-law, she would never marry her precious daughter off!

"Well..." Su Wanwan eased the embarrassment with a smile.

If she were to tell other people... this wasn't a complicated matter, she could explain it in just one or two sentences, but after all, she was facing Zhao Ying...

It's always a bit embarrassing to talk about this kind of topic in front of my mother...

"Hehe, there's nothing at all between the two of them. As for those rumors, I already said it when we were having dinner just now. It was because the kang collapsed..." Su Wanwan was telling the truth.

Zhao Ying nodded after listening and said, "Wanwan, I think Xu Yan is a good young man, but you have to open your eyes. When Yan Wenming first went to the countryside, he was also a good young man. Look at him now. The villagers can't wait for him to return to the city."

Su Wanwan nodded as she listened, and even felt like laughing.

How can Yan Wenming be compared with Xu Yan?

When she fell in love with Yan Wenming, she was just blind.

"Wait, Mom, what did you just say? Go back to the city?"

"Yes, your father has been busy with this matter these past two days. The educated youth who were sent to the production team before can now return to the city one after another, but the work arrangements in the city cannot keep up, so they have to return to the city in batches."

Zhao Ying folded Su Wanwan's clothes and separated the dirty ones.

"If I had known the temperature would drop so much in the past few days, I would have brought you some thicker clothes. Look how cold our family is every night."
