Chapter 192 -193: Want to Go Back to Town?
Xu Qingqing clenched her fists in anger, jealousy filling her eyes. Xu Ying had such a good job, so why wouldn’t she give it to her?
Even though she was younger and more educated, Xu Ying was leveraging her position at the food factory to manipulate things for her personal advantage.
“Sister-in-law, we’ll come back tomorrow,” Xu Qingqing said with a smile, turning to leave with her mother.
On their way back, Liu Yuefen’s face showed confusion, “Why are we leaving? Your job isn’t settled yet.”
“You didn’t see my aunt by marriage just doesn’t want to bother with us,” Xu Qingqing said with resentment, but she had no solution.
Liu Yuefen got anxious on hearing this, “Why won’t she help us? We’re relatives after all!”
“What does being relatives matter if they look down on us,” Xu Qingqing spoke as she walked briskly forward. She turned her head and saw Dong Wenzhong carrying a shot put.
A sly glint passed through her eyes, and she quickly cheered up, “Mom, you go ahead, I have something to do.”
Liu Yuefen, brimming with anger and ready to vent on a man, didn’t care about what her daughter had to do and hastily went home.
After her mother had left, Xu Qingqing called out to Dong Wenzhong.
Dong Wenzhong stopped when he heard her, facing Xu Qingqing’s expressionless face, “What is it?”
“Dong Wenzhong, look at Xu Ying now, she’s so capable, can make money and has skills. Are you really content with this?” Xu Qingqing asked.
What could Dong Wenzhong do about his discontent? Xu Ying had become indifferent towards him, treating him as if they had a blood feud.
Dong Wenzhong ignored Xu Qingqing and continued walking.
“The village has opportunities to return to the city now; there are two spots,” Xu Qingqing said hastily.
Sure enough, Dong Wenzhong stopped in his tracks.
“What are you getting at?” he asked.
“Don’t you want to go back to the city?” Xu Qingqing posed the question.
She hadn’t noticed that someone was standing next to a large tree nearby.
Dong Wenzhong gave her a suspicious look, “Do you have a way?”
He definitely wanted to return to the city. He had put up with Xu Ying because he thought it would make life easier and hoped to use the opportunity to return to the city. Xu Ying’s father was a team leader, and back then, he would have had the final say on who got the spots.
Xu Qingqing smiled widely, “The opportunity to return to the city is in my uncle’s hands, and given how much my cousin detests you now, I’m afraid you have no chance of leaving.”
Dong Wenzhong’s face darkened, and he turned to leave. Was this woman just here to mock him?
“But don’t forget, we also have a village chief in our village. He has to agree to all major decisions. If you can get him on your side, you’re bound to get one of the two spots,” Xu Qingqing said with a smile.
Dong Wenzhong’s eyes lit up. Yes, there was the village chief indeed.
The shadow by the tree also got excited upon hearing this and quickly disappeared.
“I know something about the village chief, something that will guarantee your return to the city. But you’ll have to marry me, otherwise, I won’t help you,” Xu Qingqing said proudly.
Ever since she was young, she liked to compete with Xu Ying and enjoyed snatching what was hers. Though she didn’t understand why Xu Ying disliked Dong Wenzhong now.
But the man was someone Xu Ying once loved deeply, and if she married Dong Wenzhong and brought him to visit Xu Ying’s house during festivals, it would disgust her.
What mattered most was that Dong Wenzhong was from the city, and staying home meant her mother would sell her for a bridal price. Rather than marrying an uncertain man, she preferred settling for someone who was a decent match.
Dong Wenzhong had a complicated look in his eyes but eventually nodded, “I agree to marry you. Now can you tell me what you have on the village chief?”
Xu Qingqing shook her head, “Wait until you bring a two hundred yuan dowry to my family to propose. Then I’ll naturally help you.”
“Why should I believe what you’re saying? What if you’re deceiving me?” Dong Wenzhong was a bit angry.
Xu Qingqing shrugged her shoulders, “Dong Wenzhong, you’d better think about your current status. In the village you can’t get warm or have enough to eat. If you can’t go back to the city and give me a good life, only a fool would marry you.
We both want something out of this, just marry me, and once I’m back in the city having a good life, I will definitely help you.”
Dong Wenzhong’s gaze darkened, and he finally nodded his head.
His big cousin had some unbelievable luck, actually marrying a girl from the county who was an official, and now not only did he return to the city, but he also found a job.
With his education and skills, he was no worse than Dong Wenqiang; if he could get back to the city, he would definitely find a good job.
“Then hurry up, that way we can both get back to the city sooner,” Xu Qingqing urged.
Dong Wenzhong nodded, and the two of them reached an understanding.
At the same time, inside the Youth Corps, a woman thought about what Xu Qingqing and Dong Wenzhong had said earlier, her face alight with excitement.
Compared to their upright team leader, the village chief was not a good man, but it was precisely because he was a bad man that there were opportunities to be seized.
Thinking of what the old village chief had said that day, promising her a chance to return to the city if she spent the night with him, Niu Yuqin wasn’t sure if it was true so she had rejected it.
Now that Xu Qingqing actually mentioned there was a quota to return to the city, Niu Yuqin’s mind became active again.

She was among the first batch of youth corps members to come down to Xujia Village, having been here from the age of sixteen until now, eight years gone by.
Many people couldn’t bear it and had married into the village, but she had been patient, always hoping to return to the city one day.
Now that there was finally a quota, she was determined to seize it no matter what.
“Yuqin, where are you going?” Zhang Qiuling usually got along well with Niu Yuqin, and now seeing her going out late at night, she became curious.
Startled by her shout, Niu Yuqin guiltily replied, “I’m going for a walk. I ate too much tonight, feel uncomfortable, need to digest.”
Zhang Qiuling, concerned, said, “Isn’t it too dangerous for you to go out alone this late? I’ll go with you!”
Niu Yuqin quickly shook her head; if Qiu Lin came out with her, how would she go see the village chief?
“No need, I’ll just stroll around close by and come right back. If anything happens, you’ll hear me call out.
Besides, you’ve been tired all day, you should get to bed and rest.”
Seeing this, Zhang Qiuling couldn’t say much more and just nodded as she cautioned, “Just don’t go too far.”
Most people in the village were good, but there were always some old bachelors and troublemakers around, so girls still had to be extra careful outside.
Niu Yuqin left the Youth Corps, her heart pounding as she walked toward the village chief’s house.
The village chief had gone to bed early and was highly irritated by the knocking at his door, but upon opening it and seeing Niu Yuqin, he was instantly thrilled: “Why have you come? Have you thought it over?”
Seeing the village chief, who was about the same age as her father or even older, Niu Yuqin felt a wave of revulsion.
But thinking of the endless farm work, she suppressed her disgust and asked emotionlessly, “Can you really get me back to the city?”
The village chief looked at her with a smile, sizing her up, “Of course, our village received two quotas for returning to the city. Just spend the night with me, and I’ll give you one.”
Niu Yuqin’s face showed wariness, “Are you saying this to all the women in the village?”
The village chief’s face changed, a flicker of something crossing it, “Why would you think that of me, Yuqin? You know, I’ve been alone since my wife passed, and from the moment I saw you, I took a special liking to you.
You look so much like my late wife. If I weren’t already so old and you weren’t so young, I’d marry you myself.”
