Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Chapter 175 The Daughter Sold 39
"Xiaoying, I heard that your daughter Yuanchun has returned home to earn work points. Oh, tell me, why did you support your adopted daughter to study so much? You wasted so much money, and in the end, she still has to go back to the village to work in the fields to earn work points."

"That's right. You and Yuanchun's father spent so much money to support a high school student, but he couldn't go to college. So much money wasted in vain. I don't know how much you two must regret it now."

"Hey, Qian Xiaosan has come to our village as an educated youth. He is also a high school graduate. What's the point of studying? No matter how much you study now, you will still have to do farm work in the end. It's better not to study in the first place."

"Xiaoying, are you still going to support your two sons? Why not let them drop out of school early and go home to help you earn work points, so that your three sons can have an easier time. It will cost you two a lot of money to support three children in school."

……

These days, when Qian Xiaoying was recording work points for the villagers, a group of village women would gather around her, talking about this and that.

Qian Xiaoying just smiled and responded with a word or two, not paying much attention to them and letting them talk whatever they wanted.

Isn't it just that she is jealous and envious of Yuanchun for supporting her studies while their daughter can't read a single word? Now that she sees Yuanchun returning to the village to work in the fields and earn work points, she becomes complacent and makes sarcastic remarks in front of her.

She doesn't care.

Only her family members knew how outstanding her Yuanchun was. She did not work in a factory, but the money she and her husband received every month was no less than what an office worker would earn.

"Mom, I got ten work points today. I have finished all the work assigned to me by the team leader." Yuanchun smiled and pushed aside the aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law who were surrounding her adoptive mother.

There was a sudden silence all around.

Qian Xiaoying was the quickest to react and said with a smile, "My Yuanchun is amazing. Not only does she always get first place in her studies, but she is also very good at working in the fields. She can even catch up with the work points earned by the men in the village."

The highest work points in Gejia Village were 12. Women generally did work worth eight work points.

Yuanchun had only been working for three days, but she had already done ten work points.

This made a group of aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law who had been gloating over Qian Xiaoying's misfortune, suddenly dumbfounded.

Some people didn't believe it and went to see the fields where Yuanchun worked. It turned out that her work was better than that of some old farmers.

Even the team leader and the old village chief gave her a thumbs up and praised her.

As a result, all the aunties, aunts and sisters-in-law in the village were convinced by Yuanchun and were no longer embarrassed to mock Qian Xiaoying. Some of them were even more cunning and wanted to marry Yuanchun home as their daughter-in-law.

There is only one girl in the whole village who is knowledgeable, hardworking and good-looking, and that is Ge Yuanchun. Moreover, although Ge Yuanchun is the adopted daughter of Ge Sangen and Qian Xiaoying, the couple loves Ge Yuanchun more than their own twin sons. The dowry given to Ge Yuanchun in the future will definitely not be small.

So, after the slack season, the threshold of the Ge family was almost trampled flat by the matchmakers.

Qian Xiaosan was a little anxious when he heard the news, and ran to find his aunt, "Aunt, my sister is still young and doesn't understand anything yet. You and uncle can't just marry my sister off casually."

Qian Xiaoying said with a smile, "Look how anxious you are, little monkey. Am I the kind of person who can't figure things out? Choosing a husband for Yuanchun is a big deal, and we must all sit together to discuss it."

"Besides, our Yuanchun is still young. We can talk about her marriage in a few years. I have already rejected the matchmakers' proposals."
