Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 187 She is just an ordinary village girl
"Come in!" Xia Chan nodded and invited the two to come in.

I led them to the table and sat them down. The weather was very hot in this season, so there was no need to lead the guests to the kang table. They could just sit at the big table. Then Xia Chan made them chrysanthemum tea.

"This chrysanthemum tea is a good thing when it's hot in the summer. It can dispel wind and heat, detoxify and improve eyesight." Afraid that they would not dare to drink it, Xia Chan explained.

"Xiao Chan, thank you. I didn't know that chrysanthemums can be used to make tea!" Yuan Bingbing smiled embarrassedly.

Xia Chan felt a little embarrassed when Yuan Bingchao looked at her, so she said, "There are many things that can be used to make tea, such as dandelion leaves, honeysuckle, peach blossoms, roses... and many, many other things I have never heard of."

"Comrade Xia Chan, thank you for saving our Bingbing before. Now thank you for your help and care for our Bingbing during this period. This is a little gift from my parents, and I hope you can accept it. This is our family's sincere thanks." Yuan Bingchao put the things he brought on the table and said to Xia Chan.

Xia Chan smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle and aunt are really too polite. Bingbing and I are so familiar with each other, why do you need to do this? I don't lack anything at home, and I don't need these. Anyway, Bingbing is here, I will give them to Bingbing slowly in the future, so that Bingbing doesn't have to go out to buy them. It's quite troublesome for us to go out here."

Since she knew the Yuan family's purpose, Xia Chan naturally could not accept the things they bought, lest others mistakenly think that she had accepted their son.

It's true that Yuan Bingchao is a soldier defending his country, and it's also true that she respects and admires soldiers very much, but that doesn't mean she has to find a soldier husband. She's just an ordinary country girl and isn't worthy of him.

Let him find a girl with a good family background and who is worthy of him!

Because the girl had a good family background, a good job, and was pretty, Mrs. Yuan didn't dare to plot against her and could only obey her orders.

But that person definitely wouldn't be Xia Chan.

At this moment, everyone is discussing it.

"I just saw two people carrying large and small bags going halfway up the mountain. Xia Chan's family lives there. They must be going to Xia Chan's house to propose marriage. Otherwise, who would be so generous as to send so many things to Xia Chan's family?"

"Didn't Xia Chan say that she wouldn't consider getting married within five years?"

"She wanted to be a tractor driver and deliberately lied to you. You didn't think it was true, did you? You are too gullible, aren't you?"

"Don't you think about it? Xia Chan was seventeen years old at the time. In five years, she will be twenty-two. Will anyone still want her at that age? Just think about it and you will know that she can't wait until she is twenty-two."

"No, since she's getting married, she can't be the tractor driver anymore."

"Correct!"

So several aunts who had been whispering to each other ran up to the team leader and spoke at the same time, like a group of parrots. Their central idea was that Xia Chan could no longer be a tractor driver, and their children should be the ones to do it instead.

The captain rolled his eyes. All the young people in the village had learned it before, so naturally all the children in their family had learned it, but they were all so stupid that they couldn't learn it. Now they only knew how to stare at Xia Chan. Even if Xia Chan really didn't want to be a tractor driver, it wouldn't be their children's turn. The captain was so angry that he almost laughed. He had to ask the people around him to call Xia Chan over to ask if she was going to propose marriage. When Xia Chan came over, he would know once he asked.

Xia Chan was talking to the Yuan brothers and sisters when she heard an urgent knock on the door. Her face darkened and she hurried out to open the door. She saw a young man from the village. Before Xia Chan could say anything, the man panted and said, "Xia Chan, the captain wants you to go over right now. He looks very angry. Be careful."

Xia Chan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what he had done to make the captain so angry, so he quickly said to the young man, "Thank you, I understand. I'll pack up and go down right away."

Then he turned around and went back to the Yuan brothers and sisters and said, "Brother Yuan, Bingbing, I'm sorry, the captain wants me to go downstairs. Maybe there is something going on, so I have to close the door and go downstairs."

"Okay, then we won't bother you anymore." Yuan Bingchao stood up and said.

After that, Xia Chan locked the gate, and the three of them went down the mountain together. Xia Chan came to the field and found the captain, and asked puzzledly, "Uncle Captain, what's the matter with you calling me over here?"

The captain struck the gong, and everyone gathered around when they heard the meeting was about to begin.

The captain pointed to the most excited women in the front and said, "You guys go ahead and speak."

After hearing their chatter, Xia Chan was almost laughing out of anger. She then looked at the captain and said, "Captain, how do you plan to deal with people who spread rumors and cause trouble?"

"Take turns to carry manure for a month." The team leader said seriously, and then said to the accountant, "Write down their names and take turns to carry manure for a month. If they don't want to do it, let their men do it. Anyway, each family must send one person to carry manure for a month."

The accountant quickly wrote down the names of these people.

One aunt protested, "Why do you punish us to carry manure? We have done nothing wrong."

"Isn't it wrong to spread rumors and cause trouble?" Xia Chan sneered, "If we weren't all from the same village, I would have reported it to the police. I was kind to you and caught fish for you and shared them with you, and you treat me like this, right? Are there people like you in this world?"

"They said they came to propose marriage, so did you go to ask? Without even asking, you wrongly accused me and ruined my reputation. Do you think that just because we don't have parents, you can bully us at will?"

"Xia Chan, you should explain the matter carefully so that everyone knows the truth, so that these people won't fan the flames and cause any misunderstanding about you." Aunt Lin said helplessly.

Some people in the team are really not good. They eat with their bowls and curse when they put them down.

"Let me explain." Yuan Bingbing squeezed in from the crowd, "Because Comrade Xia Chan saved my life before, and my brother happened to be home for the holiday this time, my mother asked him to bring me something, and also bring some gifts to Comrade Xia Chan to express her gratitude. I'm not coming to propose marriage. I hope everyone will stop talking nonsense, otherwise if my brother can't find a wife in the future, don't blame my parents for coming to your house to ask for compensation."

Afterwards, Yuan Bingbing apologized to Xia Chan again, "Comrade Xia Chan, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that everyone would make such a small matter so serious that they would force you to step down as a tractor driver."

"They are petty-minded and have nothing to do with you. They have been waiting to find fault with me. Now that they have finally caught something, they should make a fuss about it, right?" Xia Chan also said sarcastically.
