Sun Yeshu wasn't familiar with the group of educated youths, so she didn't strike up a conversation. She simply brushed past them.
She hadn't even fully passed them when she overheard a voice.
"Ruoyu, you're the lucky one. If I had known Gu Jiaojiao was so capable, I would have tried to get on her good side back then."
The young woman said, her face full of envy.
Becoming a teacher at the commune meant a monthly salary and grain rations. Who wouldn't want a job like that?
Gu Jiaojiao had landed such a great post, only to turn around and give it to Chen Ruoyu. The other educated youths were filled with envy and regret.
If they'd known Gu Jiaojiao was so generous, they would have done whatever it took to get on her good side.
This wasn't the first time Chen Ruoyu had heard such catty remarks. At first, she tried to explain herself, but she eventually realized it was useless. Now, she didn't even bother responding.
Inwardly, however, she was grateful to Gu Jiaojiao for the job.
