Chapter 573: Gossip
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The villagers were very curious about why Gu Qingming could be a technical consultant for the National Agricultural Investment Corporation.
After all, when Gu Qingming came, she was a rich young lady who had never done anything. She could cut her hand just by picking vegetables. Had she become a farming expert in just a year? The villagers found it unbelievable. Hence, when Gu Qingming went to the various greenhouses to check on the planting and growth of crops, all of them were very curious.
“This is Shi Lichun’s niece from Stoneback Village. She’s so beautiful!”
“Yes, she’s so beautiful. I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl. Her skin is so fair and tender, her eyes are big and watery, and she’s so tall. Tsk tsk, this girl is 1.7 meters tall, right?”
“She’s 1.7 meters tall. She’s really too tall. Not many girls in our village can grow to 1.7 meters. I’m afraid people like us look like children when we walk with her.”
“Haha, you’re just 1.4 meters tall. Aren’t you just like a child when you walk up to her?”
In the past, other than genetic problems, women basically had nutritional problems. They weren’t tall.
“Is that young man her husband?”
“Which young man?”
“The man on her left. You didn’t notice, but that man kept holding her hand.”
“That must be her husband. Otherwise, if they’re not a couple, how can they hold hands casually in broad daylight? I know all the children in the Shi family. This man doesn’t look like them.”
“I heard that they even had a child, but they didn’t get married. I wonder what happened?”
“Ha, you’ve already given birth to a child. Why don’t you get married? If you don’t get married, are you going to let the child take her mother’s surname? This will be criticized in the countryside.”
Although the treatment of women was less harsh in modern society, they still do not enjoy equal status in rural areas.
If she had a child out of wedlock, she would definitely be criticized for not keeping herself pure, not loving herself, and being shameless.
Back then, when Gu Qingming’s belly was getting bigger and bigger, many villagers in Stoneback Village were discussing and pointing fingers in private. However, these people did not make it public.
“She’s rich, so what’s there to be afraid of? I heard that this girl’s family is very rich, and her parents only gave birth to her. In the future, all the family assets will be inherited by her. Regardless of whether she gets married or not, this child will definitely take her surname.”
“Her family is rich. I wonder how much money her family has.”
“I heard they are billionaires.”
“Oh my god! Her family is so rich. What is she doing in the countryside? Is she here to experience the joy of farming?”
“Nothing is certain. Rich people have so many tricks up their sleeves.”
Gu Qingming’s ears were sharp, so she naturally heard these discussions.
She heard people talking about Little Orange’s birth again, and her eyes darkened.
Mo Junyan looked at the silent Gu Qingming and asked with concern, “All Ming, you don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell? Are you too tired? Do you want to rest?”
President Chen looked over and realized that her expression was indeed not right. He immediately said with concern, “CEO Gu, if you’re tired, take a break. Anyway, this checkup won’t be delayed!”
At this point, he thought of something and comforted her. “Don’t force yourself too much. Although the country is anxious about the growth of these crops, the country is even more concerned about your health and safety.”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, 1 understand.. I will!”
