The Bizarre Fat Girl
After lunch, they lay in bed for half an hour. When it was time to work in the afternoon, Jiang Taohua and Wen Shunu put on gloves.
Their skin was too delicate, so this would prevent their fingers from getting chafed.
The villagers watched Jian Mingyue as if she were a joke. Surprisingly, she acted as if nothing had happened and went to the field to work as usual.
Jiang Taohua was right—the female protagonist really did have thick skin.
However, a small incident occurred during the afternoon work.
By now, everyone in the village knew they could hear Jian Mingyue’s inner thoughts.
So in the afternoon, everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what she would say. And indeed, they heard a big piece of news.
【Li Sanba’s husband is so pitiful—a cuckold, a living turtle. He probably doesn’t know that his son, Chen Zhushi, was actually fathered by his wife and his deceased father. Hahaha, he shouldn’t call him his son; he should call him his brother instead.】
“What? Chen Zhushi isn’t Chen Er’gou’s child? That’s too shocking!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful! Treating his brother as his son for over ten years—what a tragedy!”
Chen Er’gou’s veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes seeming to spit fire. He raised his hoe and swung it at Li Sanba’s head.
“I’ll kill you, you adulterous slut! I’ll kill you!!”
Li Sanba dodged while wailing and howling.
“Murder! My own husband wants to kill me because he thinks I’m an old hag!”
The villagers hurriedly restrained the furious Chen Er’gou.
Chen Zhushi also complained, “Dad, can’t we talk this out properly? Why resort to violence?”
The word “Dad” sounded especially grating to Chen Er’gou.
He roared furiously, “Get lost! I’m not your dad!”
Li Sanba lunged forward, “You damned bastard, how dare you yell at my son! I’ll fight you!”
Chen Er’gou was held back by the crowd and couldn’t free his hands. Li Sanba scratched several bloody marks on his face.
“You slut, you promiscuous woman! I’m divorcing you right now!”
Chen Er’gou mustered all his strength and slapped Li Sanba several times across the face. Then, ignoring everything else, he dragged her off to get a divorce certificate.
Seeing that the truth was exposed, Li Sanba broke free from Chen Er’gou like a madwoman and rushed at Jian Mingyue, scratching and clawing at her.
“It’s all your fault, you bitch! You ruined me! I’ll kill you!”
Jian Mingyue looked utterly incredulous, “Are you out of your mind? What does your marital issue have to do with me? I didn’t say anything.”
Li Sanba was furious. She wanted to say that everyone had heard her inner thoughts, but the words stuck in her throat as if someone had choked her.
Jian Mingyue’s face was as disheveled as Chen Er’gou’s, with several bloody scratches on it.
Chen Er’gou turned back again, his hands like iron clamps, gripping Li Sanba tightly.
Only Chen Zhushi remained standing where he was, lost in thought.
Seeing Li Sanba in trouble, a woman who didn’t get along with her couldn’t help but laugh.
【You still have the mood to laugh? Your husband is secretly having an affair with Li Sanba behind your back. Hmph, you don’t even know your home has been stolen from you.】
The woman’s laughter died instantly.
Her husband looked at her guiltily and ingratiatingly.
“Wife, listen to me. How could I possibly be interested in Li Sanba, that old hag? You’re the one I love the most, wife… Ah…”
The woman grabbed him and started punching and kicking him. The man was beaten until his face swelled like a pig’s head. Feeling humiliated, he stopped holding back, and the two of them began tearing at each other in the field, rolling around in a tangled mess.
“Enough, stop it!”
The production team leader couldn’t stand watching any longer and shouted to stop the two.
When they were pulled apart, their clothes were torn and disheveled, covered in dust and weeds.
“If you fight again, I’ll deduct all your work points for today.”
This single sentence hit their vital point—work points were their lifeline. Without work points, they wouldn’t get food rations and would go hungry.
The husband and wife stopped fighting. As the man passed by Jian Mingyue, he angrily kicked her.
It was all because of this educated youth Jian. If it weren’t for her inner thoughts betraying him, would he and his wife have argued? What a jinx!
Jian Mingyue: Are all the people in this production team crazy? Why take their marital spat out on me?
As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Taohua and Wen Shunu returned their farming tools and walked hand in hand back to the educated youth point.
The two changed clothes and took some items to the production team leader’s house to discuss building a house.
Bai Jinchuan suddenly called out to her: “Educated youth Wen, it’s almost mealtime. Where are you going?”
Wen Shunu replied casually: “We plan to build a house at the educated youth point and want to talk to the production team leader about it.”
Bai Jinchuan suddenly ran over: “Wait for us. Brother Yan and I also plan to build a house. Let’s go together.”
Before anyone could respond, Bai Jinchuan hurried back into the room and walked out side by side with Yan Jinghong, both carrying items in their hands.
The production team leader was smoking a dry tobacco pipe in his courtyard. Seeing the four arrive, he first raised his eyebrows in surprise. After hearing their purpose, he readily agreed.
These were people the commune secretary had instructed him to look after—he definitely needed to build good relations with them.
After they left, the production team leader’s wife looked at the gifts on the table and clicked her tongue in admiration.
“My, these educated youths are quite polite, bringing so many nice things.”
She opened a box of malted milk powder, pinched a few grains with her fingers, and put them in her mouth, squinting happily: “So sweet!”
Opening her eyes again, she saw her two grandsons staring at her eagerly.
The production team leader’s wife smiled: “Come, you try some too.”
As she spoke, she poured some malted milk powder into her grandsons’ palms.
They eagerly poured it into their mouths.
“Grandma, this malted milk powder is so sweet!”
“Grandma, I want more!”
“Oh, you little debt collectors!” she said, but still poured more malted milk powder for her grandsons.
When Jiang Taohua and the others returned, the educated youths had already finished half their meal.
She and Wen Shunu ate, then went back to their room to make a bowl of hot milk powder. The room was filled with the fragrance of milk powder.
The next day, the usually lively and cheerful Bai Jinchuan was uncharacteristically quiet.
Jian Mingyue’s inner thoughts had affected him deeply.
As usual, everyone went to collect farming tools for work.
What you fear most always seems to happen.
While collecting tools, Bai Jinchuan saw a short, plump girl with dark skin and a piercing stare.
She walked up to Bai Jinchuan and suddenly said: “You’re the new educated youth, right? I’m Fat Girl. I just asked around—your name is Bai Jinchuan.”
“I want to be friends with you.”
Bai Jinchuan shook his head with a dark expression: “No, you don’t.”
“Can I…”
Before she could finish, Bai Jinchuan quickly said: “No, you can’t.”
Fat Girl suddenly raised her voice: “Educated youth Bai, I’ve taken a liking to you. I’m going to marry you.”
Her dark, plump face glistened with oil, shining as brightly as her eyes.
Fat Girl really had her eye on him, exactly as Jian Mingyue had said, and Bai Jinchuan’s hanging heart finally dropped dead.
No, he refused to believe this damned fate.
Fat Girl leaned in closer. She carried a foul odor, as if she hadn’t washed her clothes in ages, and her hands were caked with layers of black grime—just looking at her was enough to turn one’s stomach.
【Heh, Fat Girl hasn’t bathed in years. Her underwear has turned black. What an exceptional woman, Bai Jinchuan—you’re in for a treat.】
Bai Jinchuan shot a fierce glare at Jian Mingyue, that gloating woman.
Today, when the four of them returned from the production team leader’s house, Jian Mingyue had concluded that the four of them had an unusual relationship. She’d only be happy if everyone around Jiang Taohua met with misfortune.
System 001 suddenly spoke up: “Host, the male lead Shen Zhou has hired an assassin to come kill you tonight.”
Jiang Taohua lowered her gaze. So he couldn’t hold back that quickly? Fine, let him kill her. She was just wondering how to return to the modern era anyway.
Suddenly, a distorted male voice cried out: “What are you doing? Stay away from me!” Bai Jinchuan spoke with righteous indignation.
Wen Shunu suddenly jumped out, hands on her hips, glaring coldly.
“Enough! Bai Jinchuan already said he doesn’t like you. Do you want to force yourself on an innocent man?”
Who would have thought this Fat Girl had such a bizarre train of thought? She believed that since she had her eye on him, Bai the educated youth should belong to her.
She looked at Bai Jinchuan as if he were a heartless scoundrel: “Bai the educated youth, how dare you flirt with other women behind my back? How could you do this to me?”
Bai Jinchuan finally exploded: “Damn it, who are you? I don’t even know you! Where did this mad dog come from? If you want to go crazy, go home and do it!”
But what Fat Girl did next left everyone stunned.
She began tearing at her own clothes while shouting: “Assault! I’ve been assaulted by Bai the educated youth!”
