Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Chapter 2220: Chapter 2221: The Cousin Is a Capitalist Lady 40

Zhao Yadong knew he couldn’t hide this from Zhang Yu. "It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you. I was worried if I told you in advance, you wouldn’t act, and what if that crazy woman saw through it."

"You know, Zhan Min is always watching the two of you."

"We actually just found out about this a couple of days ago. To avoid suspicion, we made sure people knew about it."

Zhao Yadong didn’t want to be targeted by Zhan Min. It’s not that he couldn’t handle her, but he’s busy - busy reading, busy making money. Who has the time to mess around with a lunatic?

"Oh, I see," Zhang Yu responded with a sound of understanding. Regardless of the truth, at least it explained a few things. "Why him?"

"It’s simple; that man used to pursue Zhan Min, but she didn’t agree and even talked bad about him outside, saying he’s like a toad lusting after a swan, making the man sound terrible."

Which guy pursued Zhan Min? Zhang Yu worked with a group of older women and mostly focused on her own affairs. She wasn’t closely connected with many intellectual youths and was completely unaware of this.

"I only saw him a few times. It seems he helped Zhan Min with work." Yes, even the older women who worked together mentioned it, actually wanting to ask Zhang Yu if they were together. "I thought Zhan Min was quite capable of deluding people."

Zhang Yu truly had not expected a man to pursue Zhan Min, "His taste really is..." She couldn’t understand how anyone would find Zhan Min attractive.

"Yeah, I don’t get it either." When Zhao Yadong heard about it, he didn’t know how to react for a long time. "You could say beauty is in the eyes of the lover."

Otherwise, how to explain it? Zhao Yadong felt there was only that explanation.

Zhang Yu nodded, "But why did it fall apart?"

"He was already helping her with work, such a nice young man." Zhang Yu simply couldn’t comprehend.

"I know, the man thought they were getting on in age, and since Zhan Min didn’t object, he thought they should get married before the team distributed the grain." Zhao Yadong whispered.

What? So rushed? Zhang Yu knew Zhan Min was older than her and had started school late to take care of her younger siblings. "It’s only been a few months, and they’re rushing to get married. And why rush before the grain distribution?"

Although she disliked Zhan Min, Zhang Yu found the timing of the man’s marriage proposal problematic.

"During the grain allocation, we intellectual youths are accounted for as individuals. But if you’re married, the calculations would naturally combine."

Zhang Yu understood this and found no issue, "Once married, of course, everything must be calculated together, after all, they must live as a household."

"Yes, but it’s unfortunate the man was planning to send half of the grain back home before the snow blocked the roads, once they received it." Even after a long time, Zhao Yadong couldn’t believe what he had heard.

Send half of the grain back? Zhang Yu’s eyes widened as she looked at Zhao Yadong in disbelief. She wondered if there was something wrong with her hearing to catch such a shocking phrase.

"That’s right, your ears didn’t deceive you. That’s what he meant. He even said for Zhan Min to marry him, they are now one family. To make his parents approve, Zhan Min needs to prove herself well."

Oh my goodness, such a character. Zhang Yu was almost unable to hold back anymore. "How could there be someone like him, expecting Zhan Min to prove herself well?"

"As if he’s tired of supporting the family and just wants a woman to help share the burden." Zhang Yu snorted coldly. "He really shouldn’t get married if he doesn’t want to trouble his wife or his future children."

"So be careful." Qian Hao, who was practicing calligraphy, suddenly threw in a comment.

What? Be careful? Zhang Yu quickly caught on, "Are they targeting me?"

It can’t be. She had already made quite a few people change their minds, so they no longer saw her as an ideal wife candidate. How come it’s starting all over again?

"Yes, quite a few intellectual youths have their eyes on you. After all, having 15 each month, even if you’re not efficient at work, they might think once they marry you, they’ll push you to work harder, not settling for just three or four work points."

"Really, ugly people have big dreams." Zhang Yu snorted coldly again. "It’s really unnecessary to pity some people."

"Right, right, right, right, it’s unnecessary to pity them." Zhao Yadong nodded continuously. "Those two really aren’t good people."

"So that’s why you chose him." Zhang Yu started to understand why Zhao Yadong would choose that person.

"By the way, you mentioned that Zhan Min wanted to hold a meeting. What’s she planning now?" Zhang Yu worried that once Zhan Min recovered, she’d start causing new trouble.

"Don’t worry, she won’t cause more trouble, at least not before the New Year." Zhao Yadong reassured Zhang Yu.

See, knew this guy knows quite a bit. Looking up at someone, the latter straightforwardly said, "I just heard those two discussing New Year’s Eve dinner together."

New Year’s Eve dinner together? Zhang Yu’s first reaction was, "Really, ugly people have big dreams. What kind of New Year’s supplies are they preparing?"

Anyone with means has already started their own cooking or teamed up with others. Zhang Yu knew that those still sticking with communal dining were mainly those without means, including Zhan Min and that guy.

"This isn’t right." If the two of them discussed having New Year’s Eve dinner together, isn’t that good for both of them? Why did they fall apart?

"All because of Zhan Min’s past troubles?" It’s all in the past; how could it still cause a fallout?

As for this, Zhao Yadong glanced at Qian Hao, unsure how to respond. Should he say that Zhan Min was eyeing Qian Hao, planning something?

Instead of answering the question, he kept looking at Qian Hao. Zhang Yu remembered when Zhan Min found out all six of them were heading to the Pioneer Team. She constantly observed Qian Hao’s expressions.

"So she’s chosen Qian Hao." Guo Bo, although initially people thought his family condition was pretty good, time revealed bits and pieces. If his family truly remembered him, wouldn’t they frequently send packages and money?

He was one of the few who earned high work points. If Zhan Min chose him, that would be an issue.

As for Zhao Yadong beside her, sure he’s good-looking, but unfortunately, his words always anger people and he’s clashed with Zhan Min many times. Choosing him would be problematic.

As for Qian Hao, not to mention, packages frequently arrived for him. It was obvious his family remembered their son.

More importantly, he’s soaked in the scholarly aura. Not to mention Zhan Min, even from the village chats that Zhang Yu overheard among elder women, Qian Hao was the man many young women in the village most wanted to marry.

Even young married women couldn’t help but glance him over when they saw Qian Hao. Luckily, when Qian Hao spoke with others, he always kept a distance and never accepted anything from anyone. Even though many young men in the village were discontented with him, the villagers still had a positive impression of Qian Hao.
