Chapter 93 The Ugly Girl from the Countryside 15
For the past two weeks, Qingyu has spent most of her time studying at the educated youth settlement. Due to recent rains, the house repairs have been delayed, and since everyone needs to go to work, the time cannot be rushed for the time being.
During this time, Qingyu not only finished learning junior high school knowledge, but also gradually began to learn high school knowledge. She was extremely busy every day. At first, the people around her liked to look at her beauty, but over time, they also developed a competitive mentality and wanted to show off in front of Qingyu.
Immediately, the learning atmosphere at the educated youth settlement reached an unprecedented high.
The villagers just laughed it off, since there were no schools anymore, what was the point of studying? It wouldn't make them successful anyway.
The only one who agreed was that Liu Meifen should study together, and he even sent several of his nephews and nieces to study with her as well.
He thinks far ahead. In ancient times, scholars were highly valued, which proves that learning is definitely worthwhile. It may seem useless now, but what about in the future?
He also knew that these educated youths were willing to pick up their textbooks again because of Qingyu, so he put even more effort into repairing the house, just so that his daughter and nephews and nieces could seize this opportunity to learn.
Furthermore...
Qingyu is truly becoming more and more beautiful. Who wouldn't be moved by her now? The ugly girl who was ignored back then is now the focus of everyone's attention in the village.
Qingyu wasn't overly surprised or surprised by the villagers' kindness; she was simply meant to be loved by everyone.
Watching Chang Jiaojiao and Li Ziqi constantly glaring at each other, she also felt a bit of a headache.
The two of them fell out even earlier than in the main story, and every time they argued, it was always about Qingyu. After a while, Qingyu started to get annoyed.
For example, this time, Li Ziqi took the things that Chang Jiaojiao had made to curry favor with her, which made Chang Jiaojiao so angry that she was about to fight with Li Ziqi. However, the latter pointed out that the things she took were different from those of Chang Jiaojiao.
Chang Jiaojiao couldn't produce any evidence, but she knew that Li Ziqi was behind it, which made her even more furious and relentless.
"Qingyu! Whom do you believe?"
Whom should we believe? Naturally, we should believe Chang Jiaojiao.
Qingyu could tell at a glance that Li Ziqi had used special methods to target Chang Jiaojiao time and time again, and these methods were most likely obtained from the taskers attached to her.
She was a little worried, worried that these things would be used on her. "System, haven't you figured it out yet?"
The system was almost numb; it had been going through a lot of bad luck lately, making it seem like a useless piece of trash. When Qingyu asked it a question, it felt guilty and powerless.
"I... I can't detect anything. All I know for now is that the other person is indeed our colleague, but their rank is definitely higher than ours..."
In the end, even the system wanted to cry. It dared not look up at Qingyu, for fear of seeing her mockery.
Qingyu wasn't surprised at all; she even nodded casually. "It's alright. I have a feeling that the other side will take the initiative to contact us."
This is the conclusion Qingyu has drawn after interacting with him for so long.
During this period, she would occasionally receive some outrageous little gifts—such as a crab roe-flavored bun, a cup of milk tea, or a fashionable dress…
Everything seemed out of place for this era, and Qingyu occasionally sensed a familiar feeling emanating from Li Ziqi.
This made her quite restless.
Perhaps that person isn't even a colleague, so it's normal that the small system can't detect it.
"Qingyu, your house is almost finished being repaired. Shall we go together to celebrate your new house together?" Liu Meifen took Qingyu's hand and gently stroked it a couple of times, her heart fluttering.
"A greenhouse?" Qingyu was quite surprised to hear this term for the first time.
"Although the house isn't newly built, it's been recently renovated. Let's all get together and have some fun." Besides, Liu Meifen knew that Qingyu lost her parents when she was young and had to live cautiously all these years, so her life must have been very difficult.
She had never had the chance to discover Qingyu's beauty before, but now that she has, she wants to protect her.
Qingyu seemed to be deep in thought. She didn't object to the dinner party, but she couldn't possibly pay for it anyway...
She just remembered that there was a period in the story where it rained every day, the rainwater accumulated, the river embankment collapsed, and the village was half flooded, but fortunately no one was injured.
Looking at the time now, it's been raining for the past few days, so it's probably around this time.
Qingyu didn't want a dinner party, nor did she want her new house to be flooded. She immediately pulled Liu Meifen over to make a suggestion, but unexpectedly, Li Ziqi's voice came from behind her, "With such heavy rainfall these past few days, you might as well go check the river embankment. Something might happen!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled. Qingyu looked up at Li Ziqi and realized that it must have been the so-called mission taker who told the latter.
Tsk, what exactly does this mission taker want to do?
"Oh? How did you know?" Qingyu asked with a smile, her expression indifferent.
For a moment, Li Ziqi's face became unnatural. For the first time, she dared not look Qingyu in the eye. She turned her head away and said softly, "I've read some books and this is just my guess."
Qingyu chuckled softly and didn't ask any more questions.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. The group looked at each other in surprise, and finally Jiang Yuan went to open the door.
"Why is it you?" Jiang Yuan's tone was somewhat impatient, and then he saw someone push him aside as Sun Ping'an walked in through the rain.
He rushed straight to Qingyu, still panting heavily, clearly having run there.
He looked intently at Qingyu, his eyes filled with worry. "The river is probably about to overflow, Qingyu. I've built a house on the mountain. Why don't you go and stay there for now?"
He made no attempt to conceal his words, as if he wanted to tell everyone else.
Qingyu was surprised that Sun Ping'an knew about this. Her eyes widened slightly as she asked in astonishment, "How did you know?"
In reality, he had already thought it through. In the story, Sun Ping'an liked the female lead, but the female lead liked the male lead and was unwilling to leave. Sun Ping'an didn't tell others much, also because he was afraid that he might say something wrong and thus protect himself.
Upon hearing this, Sun Ping'an astutely seized upon the loophole in the statement, his brow furrowing. "Also? You know?"
Qingyu looked at Li Ziqi and nodded, saying, "Li Zhiqing just mentioned this too. Are you also a reader?"
Sun Ping'an's sharp gaze fell on Li Ziqi, like a vicious wolf, making Li Ziqi's body stiffen, and he said dryly, "I was just saying it casually."
Sun Ping'an looked away, lowered his eyes, and answered Qingyu seriously, "I travel around the mountains all year round and know a bit about astronomy and geography. Qingyu, you can trust me."
By the end, his tone had become somewhat anxious.
Qingyu believed it, but she had a different idea and immediately suggested loudly, "Why don't we repair the river embankment in advance? I don't want my house to be flooded right after it's been built."
As she spoke, she lowered her head in disappointment, her delicate profile filled with sadness, which made the others' hearts tighten and they responded one after another.
"Qingyu is right, we must repair it!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Running away isn't the solution!"
"I'll go tell my dad right now!" Liu Meifen reacted quickly, and ran off to find the brigade leader.
