During the lunch break the following day, Feng Qingqing was chatting with a group of older women when she overheard some gossip about an educated youth. Upon hearing it concerned one of them, her interest was instantly piqued. Having been there for some time, she rarely heard rumors about the Educated Youth Point, largely because it was quite far away and the women’s attention was usually focused on the brigade members.
Since this was the first time she had heard such a thing, Feng Qingqing waited in anticipation to find out who it was. The woman who had been speaking saw everyone’s eager expressions and, feeling quite proud, held her head high and said excitedly:
"Last night, after finishing work, I took a detour to the river to wash some things. As I rounded the bend, I saw two people standing by the bank. When I got a little closer and looked carefully, the man was Baoguo, that good-for-nothing from the brigade leader’s house. And you’ll never guess who the woman was!"
