The village chief's wife was extremely fond of Deng Yuyuan. The more they interacted, the more she discovered Deng Yuyuan's uniqueness. She didn't like manual labor because her talents lay elsewhere. She was educated and could carve wooden hairpins better than anything sold at the town's supply cooperative. She was also incredibly efficient, getting the most done in the shortest amount of time, like a seemingly lazy but secretly energetic kitten.
Although she had been foolish in the past, she was clear-headed now. Naturally, she wouldn't let herself be trapped in this small village for the rest of her life. The village chief's wife wanted to form a good relationship with this younger generation girl.
