Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1909 - 1910: Female Passerby Intellectual Youth 52
When she woke up the next day, Zhang Wei and the others were sitting at the table having breakfast, and they paused for a moment when they saw her.
To avoid disturbing her rest, Zhang Wei and the others had lowered their volume, worried about waking Zhang Yu.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Yu woke up on her own. "Little Yu, you’re up so early. Why don’t you go back to rest a bit more?"
Zhang Yu shook her head, "I’m already awake. I’ll pack up and head out to fish."
"I’ll go fishing in the morning and come back for a nap at noon."
Something occurred to Zhang Yu, which Yao Ying had mentioned before about taking over for a few months, "Mom, are you still working now?"
Yao Ying nodded happily, "I’m working. After the person gave birth, her health wasn’t very good, and with no elder at home to help, I continued covering for her."
"I get the full salary and benefits." Yao Ying knew the person continued resting at home because she trusted her not to take over the job permanently.
"That’s great." If it weren’t for Zhang Jie needing a job, Yao Ying would still be working at the factory. She’s at the perfect age for building her career, "Otherwise, I’d be idle anyway, and Xiao Jie hasn’t married or had children yet."
Looking into the memories of the original character, Zhang Jie was definitely an example of late marriage and late childbirth, previously due to being young and the need to support Zhang Yu, never marrying.
Later, after the college entrance exams were restored, he was busy preparing for university, and it wasn’t until after graduating and starting work that he married and had children through colleagues’ introductions.
In this life, without her stirring things up, it’s unknown whether he would marry early or follow his previous life pattern and marry after finishing university.
Zhang Jie, while quietly eating breakfast by the side, was surprised when Zhang Yu suddenly brought up the topic of marriage and childbirth.
"Sis, I’m still young, and you haven’t married either." Zhang Jie had decided he must wait until Zhang Yu marries before he feels comfortable doing so himself.
With the mention of marriage, Yao Ying recalled something she had forgotten, "Zhang Yu, let me tell you, don’t get married on the farm."
"Your dad and I are both trying to find jobs." Even though their daughter has gone to the countryside, the Zhang family hasn’t given up on job searching, "If you marry in the countryside, even if we find jobs, you won’t be able to return to the city."
This isn’t Yao Ying trying to scare Zhang Yu; it’s really how the policy is now, "Also, be careful with your regular activities."
"You had a falling out with Wang Yan, she’s surely upset. Now she seems to be behaving, but is she really?"
"If she ruins your reputation..." Yao Ying works on the street, so she’s aware of many messy affairs involving intellectual youths, always worrying about what if her own child encounters such things and how she would deal with it.
"Mom, don’t worry, I’m not alone when I go out."
"And we don’t need to collect firewood or anything." Zhang Yu explained she always brings people along when she heads out for work, "I’m not stupid."
The previous life’s protagonist was good to Wang Yan, yet Wang Yan aimed to deceive her; in this life, being on bad terms, Wang Yan surely would hold grudges, and Zhang Yu won’t be unprepared.
"But you can’t always avoid being alone." Yao Ying scrutinized her carefree daughter, finding it worrying that her daughter might be underestimating the situation.
Seeing Yao Ying’s anxious and concerned expression, "Mom, rest assured, I’m prepared."
Zhang Yu took out a paper packet from her pocket, "Inside here is some lime powder."
"And Mom, don’t forget, your daughter here has been a farmer for half a year in the countryside. I’m quite strong..."
"I even run every day after work."
"If I can’t fight, surely I can run." Zhang Yu knew her weakness, that she wasn’t skilled in martial arts. Transforming into a martial arts expert was out of reach, but she could excel in running.
"I’m also planning to get some chili powder; it’s quite handy." If used correctly, there’s nothing to worry about being foolish.
The Zhang family members were stunned by Zhang Yu’s words, looking at each other, aware that many intellectual youths encountered dirty problems, and they just aimed to gently remind and inform their daughter. Unexpectedly, their daughter was well-prepared. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Not only was she prepared, but extremely prepared. What happened that their daughter anticipated requiring such precautions?
"Sis..." Zhang Jie’s first thought was that Zhang Yu definitely ran into something, otherwise why would she say these things.
He used to always find Zhang Yu a bit too naïve, never recognizing Wang Yan’s simple and crude tactics, what else could explain her oblivion?
At that time, he wished his sister would be a bit wiser and not always gullibly predictable.
But now seeing his sister worrying left and right, he felt the previous version of his sister was preferable, at least not overly jumpy and anxious about everything.
"It’s good, my health is excellent now."
"Besides, I even have an income. Mom, you don’t know, there’s plenty of trouble at the farm, but lots of excitement to witness too."
"Moreover..." Zhang Yu, even knowing she was at home, lowered her voice, "There are some old professors and military veterans on the farm too. They used to receive criticism every month, but haven’t these past few months."
"And I’ve even noticed some people are no longer at the farm." Zhang Yu indeed observed, not aiming to curry favor with these so-called big shots.
She’s just a minor character, arriving during the late stages of the movement, with university entrance exams about to be restored in a few years; staying cautious is wise.
Especially with Wang Yan following her, for her safety, it’s best not to stir things up, or if Wang Yan discovers something, it will undoubtedly cause trouble for the family.
It didn’t stop her from mentioning it to the family, giving them some mental preparation.
Zhang Wei, hearing his daughter’s words, had a fleeting thought, but seeing the time, it was almost time, "Off to work, off to work."
Heading to work first, discussing when he returns in the evening, and considering further, things seemed beyond his understanding.
Zhang Yu affirmed, "Perfect, I need to go fishing too."
After seeing Zhang Family’s three-person work group off, Zhang Yu tidied up at home slightly, then picked up the fish tank to head out for work.
When the nearby neighbors saw her, about to speak, Zhang Yu began greeting people as if reciting sutras.
When the sound of her greetings faded, she had already walked quite far, as if chased by someone.
The crowd, observing her manner, held back their words; this girl had become more slippery through time.
"I just saw her holding a fishing rod; could she be going fishing?" An elderly woman widened her eyes.
