Husband, please lend me your virtues

The gossip made Xu Zijin and Aunt Xiuman's already slow pace even slower. Ding Songqing, who was in front of them, noticed this and was afraid that it would affect Xu Zijin's reputation, so he didn't want to turn around and go back to look for her, so he also slowed down.

Xu Zijin listened with great interest, occasionally exclaiming in response to Aunt Xiuman, which made Aunt Xiuman more motivated to continue speaking.

"She refused to give up and kept pestering her and wouldn't let her into the house until her face turned black and she picked up a branch and pretended to hit her. Only then did she let go and stopped pestering her."

After all, the third sister-in-law's invitation to the educated youth Xiao Xu to live at her home was not that simple. The people in their Qianjin Brigade had already seen through the third sister-in-law's purpose.

She felt that her son, who was a platoon leader in the army, was not worthy of the engaged country girl, so she wanted to find a new daughter-in-law who was worthy of her son.

Humph, not only did he embarrass the girl he was engaged to in person, but he also deliberately used the photo her son sent back to try to get close to the female educated youth.

I've been getting along really well with Deng Jiajia, a female educated youth whose family sends me packages from time to time. We're almost like real mother and daughter.

This is because I heard that little Xu’s father was a hero who died in the line of duty, and that she was a girl from a big city.

She wanted both female educated youth to be alternative candidates for her beloved sons!

Xu Zijin understood that this was the time-traveling heroine trying to please the mother of the golden thigh in advance, wanting to replace Liu Guoan's fiancée and live the life of the leader's wife.

"There are many houses with empty rooms in the brigade. Why did Li Zhiqing only like the house of the third sister-in-law? Is her house better than the houses of other families in the brigade?"

Xu Zijin pretended to be confused and asked Aunt Xiuman with a bewildered look on his face.

"No, my third sister-in-law's house is just a little more spacious, but it's not that good. It's far inferior to the house you're staying in."

Aunt Xiuman waved her hand and said, "I was there at the time."

"This Li Zhiqing has been mentioning my third sister-in-law's son in his words and deeds. I'm afraid he is interested in Guoan!"

The patches on the clothes of the newly arrived Li Zhiqing were almost as many as those of the people in their village. The third sister-in-law obviously looked down on him, but Li Zhiqing seemed not to understand her expression and just kept nagging the third sister-in-law in front of the door.

"I don't know how she, a newly arrived educated youth from the city, knew about Guoan."

Liu Guoan was a promising young man in their Qianjin Brigade, but he was not good enough in the city. How did his reputation spread to the big city thousands of miles away?

Aunt Xiuman grumbled in her heart, but did not shout out her doubts.

Arriving at the warehouse where the brigade stored farm tools, Aunt Xiuman waved at Xu Zijin and hurried into the warehouse without waiting for Xu Zijin to reply.

Xu Zijin came near the captain and glanced around. Not only did he not see Ding Songqing, but even the heroines of those period novels were nowhere to be seen.

Because of Xu Zijin's foot injury, the team leader assigned her to do children's work on her first day at work. Xu Zijin received the farm tools and slowly started weeding the fields.

Suddenly, a face full of smiles appeared in front of Xu Zijin.

Oh my goodness, isn’t this Qin Qingci who had a conflict with her yesterday?

At this moment, his attitude changed drastically when he appeared in front of Xu Zijin, as if the previous conflict did not exist.

"Xu Zhiqing, I heard that you live alone in a villager's home?"

Xu Zijin was stunned. It seemed like she had only been talking to Aunt Xiuman for less than an hour, and now even the educated youth knew about it? The village was not big, so the news spread quickly.

"Yes, what can I do for you, Qin Zhiqing?"

Qin Qingci lowered his head slightly, feeling embarrassed, "It's not safe for Xu Zhiqing to live alone in such a big house, how about we live together?"

Qin Qingci became more and more confident as he spoke, "I'm quite strong, and ordinary scoundrels can't get close to me. If you live with me, your safety will be guaranteed. Xu Zhiqing, please think about this carefully."

Qin Qingci felt that she was a kind-hearted fairy. Not only did she generously forgive Xu Zijin for the conflict between them, she was also willing to live with her. She even planned to help Xu Zijin when the bully's new house caught fire to prevent her from being burned to death.

Such a kind-hearted girl traveled into this period novel and was destined to replace the plain-looking female protagonist, Liu Guoan’s fiancée Lin Rong, and become the new female protagonist of the period novel and make a fortune.

"Don't consider it, Qin Zhiqing. You insulted my father yesterday. Are you still vividly remembering it? Are you coming to me today as if nothing happened?"

Xu Zijin didn't know where this heroine got such a big face. They just had a quarrel yesterday, and today she came over as if nothing had happened, and asked her to live with her as if it was alms?

"I don't have a carefree personality like Qin Zhiqing. I can forget bad things easily. But I'm narrow-minded and still remember them! Forget about our partnership."

How ridiculous and arrogant! Does she think that everyone in the world will obey her?

Qin Qingci rolled his eyes slightly. No wonder this man was destined to be a cannon fodder even though he had the protection of a noble man. He was so petty and vindictive.

Holding back his displeasure, Qin Qingci continued in a gentle voice:

"I already apologized to you yesterday. Can we just write it off?"

Qin Qingci threw the hoe she had been holding in her hand onto the ground where she was standing and came to the land that Xu Zijin was in charge of.

She wanted to hold Xu Zijin's arm and act coquettishly, but Xu Zijin, who was always alert to his surroundings, dodged her.

"Not good." Xu Zijin took a few steps back, "Qin Zhiqing, you're blocking the way."

"You're standing in the grass, trying to stop me from working?"

Xu Zijin put down the hoe unhappily, with an expression as if he wanted to drive someone away.

"Why is Xu Zhiqing so fussy?"

Shameless Qin Qingci pretended not to see Xu Zijin's expression and condemned Xu Zijin for being too calculative.

"Comrades should help each other. If we move in together, you can pay less for the accommodation. It's a win-win situation with no harm at all."

Qin Qingci left the patch of grass under his feet and stood on the ditch. "Why do you insist on harping on my minor verbal blunder and refuse to partner with me? Partnering with me will obviously benefit both of us."

Xu Zijin was so angry that he laughed at Qin Qingci who kept talking and trying to cover up his behavior as a minor mistake. He grabbed the weeds that had just been dug out from the ground and threw them over Qin Qingci's head.

The dirt brought up by the weeds was also splashed onto Qin Qingci's head, making him look dusty and dirty. His hair was full of dirt, and there was a lot of dirt on his face, like a refugee fleeing famine.

The weeds slowly fell down Qin Qingci's face, and a small part of them stuck to Qin Qingci's body.

Qin Qingci was busy cleaning the dirt and weeds off her body. People of this era were really backward. The descendants of heroes from big cities behaved like a country shrew.

Talk to her properly, don't just touch her sore spot or throw weeds at her if you disagree with her.
