Even nearby brigades also invited them to give lectures and training to their own villages. With every talk, the team earned about 50 catties of corn.
Lin Lan was so moved at the notion, so she brought Dong Huaihua there once and brought back 50 catties of corn.
Although it was less than 4 Yuan, food was expensive now. She knew better than anyone that sometimes, even food couldn’t be bought with money.
Lin Lan was very happy.
As the Director, Dong Huaihua was also very generous. She gave Lin Lan 30 catties and asked for 20 catties for herself.

Today, she was preparing for the Brigade talks again when she saw a slim figure walking towards her. She assumed that her eyes were playing tricks on her, but she didn’t think that the silhouette was actually Liu Xiuyun.
She waved to Liu Xiuyun, “Xiuyun, come here.”
Liu Xiuyun smiled at her and ran over quickly, “Auntie, I heard that you are short of manpower, so I will help you.”
Lin Lan said happily, “You’re right, I am in need of manpower. If you can help me out, I’ll have the Secretary Head provide you with some work points.”
Liu Xiuyun smiled, “Auntie, I don’t want work points; I just want to help.”
After working for a while, some people were very curious when they saw Liu Xiuyun. Some members even pointed fingers at her, gossiping about the recent fiasco.
They hadn’t seen Xiuyun for a few days, but now, the girl looked like an entirely different person.
She used to be gentle and would smile at everyone she saw like a little flower. Even though her smile remained, it looked cold, as if she was a thorn that was capable of pricking another.
Two young men stepped forward to tease her, “Xiuyun, I haven’t seen you for a while, did you miss me?”
Liu Xiuyun glanced at them and said coldly, “Who are you?”
These young men had heard the rumours of Liu Xiuyun sleeping with Youth Chen. After getting to know that her marriage was a failure, they deemed her as a reject and was sure that no one would even want her. Since she wouldn’t be able to get married in the future, they assumed that it would be easy to flirt with her and take advantage of her eagerness.

Lin Lan frowned upon hearing the comment and was about to scold Han Huinong, but Xiuyun suddenly raised her hand and slapped the young man with a loud ‘smack’.
Han Huinong was angry, “Liu Xiuyun, don’t be shameless, you are nothing but a broken shoe…”
Lin Lan went up to him with a wooden ruler and whipped him, “When did I ever ask for your opinion? You’re no high-heel nor diving shoes either; you’re just a menace who deserves a good beating!”
Han Huinong didn’t dare to fight with Lin Lan as he was kicked around wildly by her, “Auntie, Auntie, let’s be civil and talk things out.”
Lin Lan, “You, all of you,” She pointed at the young men with the ruler, “Get lost, you are not allowed to attend class today— none of you are worthy!”
The youngsters saw that she was really angry and started to run off, not without adding a remark, “Liu Xiuyun was once so gentle, but she insisted on hanging around with a shrew. Great, now she’s a shrew as well.”
