Chapter 60: The Main Point is Still Your Deep Schemes
Song Chu knew he wasn’t angry.
“See through it but don’t say it, Gu, the Academic God, you still need to learn this.”
Then her tone changed and became a bit more serious, “And what I said is also true. Besides wanting to set up a factory and use this kind of machine, I also hope that after you develop it, our country can achieve a technological lead.”
Gu Yue’s eyes and brows were tinged with a smile, “I know, otherwise why do you think I would be so easily fooled by you?”
He could feel that these views of serving the country and the people were her true thoughts, so he was deeply touched and wanted to support her from the bottom of his heart.
Don’t even mention it, this was the first time he discovered that this woman had quite a high level of awareness.
Of course, her schemes were also very deep, and one could easily fall into her trap without paying attention.
More accurately, this woman had a knack for making you want to willingly jump into her trap, even if you knew it was a trap.
“Hehe, it seems that our Educated Youth Gu has a very high level of awareness.” Song Chu said with a smile.
Gu Yue chuckled, “The main point is still your deep schemes.”
He was instantly trapped by her. Just the desire to achieve technological leadership was enough for him to willingly be her laborer.
Song Chu laughed lightly, “No, no, it’s still Educated Youth Gu’s high level of awareness. Otherwise, my schemes would be useless.”
“By the way, Gu, the Academic God, are you good at chemical engineering?” she asked.
Gu Yue smiled and asked back, “I’m fairly good at it. Do you have another idea?”
“I took a look at the machinery factory today and found that the steel and other materials are a bit low-end. So, if you’re good at chemical metallurgy, I’ll provide you with books and materials, and you can contribute to the country’s steel industry.” Song Chu said truthfully.
Gu Yue chuckled, “You’re really treating me like an ox.”
“I believe in your ability,” Song Chu said.
Gu Yue said with a smile, “My chemical engineering is not as good as my physics. However, there is a chemical engineering expert in the cowshed. I used to go to him to learn whenever I had time.”
“You can give me the materials. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll go ask him, and then I’ll try my best to achieve the technological leadership you mentioned in this area.”
The fact that he could say this also meant that he had a sense of trust in Song Chu, which was something he hadn’t even realized himself.
“Okay, I’ll take some time these few days to organize them and then copy them down for you.”
Song Chu continued, “There’s no rush for this. We can take it slowly and research it first.”
Gu Yue nodded, “Okay.”
The two rode a bicycle, talking and laughing as they entered the village. It was already after work hours, so many people saw them.
“People used to say that Song Chu’s relentless pursuit of Educated Youth Gu was useless and that he would never be interested in her. But now I think it’s quite useful. I’ve never seen Educated Youth Gu smile like that.”
“It seems that Educated Youth Gu’s attitude towards Song Chu has improved a lot. He used to barely acknowledge her.”
“Our Song Chu is so capable, can’t Educated Youth Gu see that? I think they’re a good match.”
The person speaking completely forgot that they used to say behind her back that Song, the Village Bully, was like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung when it came to Educated Youth Gu.
At that time, the fresh flower they were referring to was Educated Youth Gu.
“Don’t even mention it, Educated Youth Gu is really handsome when he smiles. No wonder Song Chu is so devoted.”
“The two of them look really good together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and both are capable.”
“Now in the village, I’m afraid only Educated Youth Gu is worthy of Song Chu.”
Soon, the conversation went off on a tangent.
“They look compatible, but if they really get together, if they ever quarrel, can Educated Youth Gu win a fight against Song, the Village Bully?”
“Looking at Educated Youth Gu’s build, I doubt it.”
◈◈◈
“I suddenly feel a little sorry for Educated Youth Gu. It’s better to marry a virtuous wife. Otherwise, it would be too miserable to get beaten up over a disagreement.”
“Maybe Educated Youth Gu has a good temper and won’t mind? Or maybe our Village Bully simply adores Educated Youth Gu too much. With such a handsome face, I wouldn’t be able to hit him either.”
“Haha, so you mean Song, the Village Bully, should only be with someone like Educated Youth Gu. If it were anyone else without that face, they’d probably get beaten up badly.”
The villagers thought more and more that this was a good idea. Song, the Village Bully, should go and pester Educated Youth Gu. The other young men in the village couldn’t withstand her beatings!
Song Chu and Gu Yue had no idea that the villagers had already paired them up in various ways, and many even started to feel sorry for Gu Yue. Otherwise, they would have been speechless and exasperated.
What was all this about?
At the Fang family’s house, Fang Yue Lan’s two sisters-in-law were sweeping the yard and sorting vegetables.
Seeing Fang Yue Lan return home with a bad expression and looking absent-minded, the two of them simultaneously pursed their lips and exchanged a knowing look. They deliberately started chatting.
“Did you see that just now? Educated Youth Gu and Song Chu rode back together from the county town, talking and laughing. They seem to have a really good relationship.”
Previously, when the whole village received sugar, Song Chu, not holding any grudges, had also given some to their Fang family. However, their younger sister had instigated the two elders not to accept it, which made the two sisters-in-law even more upset.
“I saw them. Educated Youth Gu is an educated person from Kyoto, and Song Chu is now capable. They are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.”
“That’s right, unlike some people who aren’t that good-looking and like to put on airs all day. No wonder Educated Youth Gu doesn’t like her. If it were me, I would also choose the beautiful and capable Song Chu.”
“Some people are just like toads trying to eat swan meat. Educated Youth Gu isn’t blind.”
Fang Yue Lan had also just seen Gu Yue and Song Chu riding together into the village. She didn’t know what Song Chu said, but Gu Yue was smiling from ear to ear.
It was the first time she had seen Gu Yue show such a sincere smile. He was usually cold and distant, like an aloof and unapproachable flower on a high mountain.
But why would he be so close and friendly with a rude and fierce woman like Song Chu?
The smiles of the two deeply stung her eyes and made her heart ache. That’s why she returned home feeling so lost.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she heard her two sisters-in-law’s sarcasm. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she couldn’t help but rush up and push them.
“Who are you talking about? Who isn’t worthy of Educated Youth Gu?”
She vented, “Educated Youth Gu and Song Chu are not a good match. How is she worthy of him? Why can’t you be on my side? You’re too much.”
Fang’s Second Sister-in-Law lost her balance and fell.
Just as she was about to stand up and retort, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, “Ah, my stomach hurts.”
Seeing this, Fang’s Eldest Sister-in-Law immediately helped her up and found blood on Fang’s Second Sister-in-Law’s pants. She was shocked.
She then shouted for her husband and Fang Lao Er, and they took her to the village clinic.
Fang Yue Lan was also startled and felt a pang of panic.
She didn’t mean to do it. Who told them to say behind her back that she was inferior to Song Chu and that she wasn’t worthy of Educated Youth Gu?
After thinking for a while, she ran to find Fang Mother and, with some embellishment, first complained about how excessive the two were. She emphasized that she didn’t do it on purpose.
After hearing this, Fang Mother hurriedly took her to the village clinic.
Only then did they learn that Fang’s Second Sister-in-Law was pregnant, and the fall had almost caused a miscarriage.
Although the baby was safe, she needed to rest and take care of herself to ensure a healthy pregnancy. After returning home, Fang Yue Lan was scolded by the whole family.
This made Fang Yue Lan hate Song Chu even more, feeling that everything she was going through now was caused by her.
