Lin Sisi was angry, so she vented her anger on Lin Guanghui: "You really are a coward. Didn't you say you weren't afraid of her before you came? That she wouldn't dare to cut you? Look at how cowardly you were just now."

"I... I've been tricked by her before, haven't I? She even cut my hand that time."

Lin Sisi scoffed, "That tiny cut can be considered an injury?"

“I’m afraid she might actually do it. What if she really does slash?” He was afraid Lin Sisi would laugh at him, so he continued, “I knew she was just bluffing. I’m not afraid of her, and I doubt she would dare to do anything serious.”

Lin Qingyan and Yi Zhiheng served the rice, and because the rice was getting cold, they finished eating quickly.

The other educated youth finished eating a little earlier than them and went back to their dormitories to rest.

Lin Guanghui was still angry, but now that he was lying on Lin Qingyan's bedding, he felt a little better.

This bedding is his; that brat can sleep on the mud bricks tonight.

Just as Lin Qingyan and Yi Zhiheng were about to leave the kitchen, Du Xiaoyue quietly came over and told Lin Qingyan, "Qingyan, that man took your bedding. He said it was his."

"What!"

Lin Qingyan immediately flew into a rage, "Those are my bedding! He's blatantly stealing them!"

She made a move to rush into the male educated youth dormitory. It was daytime, and the male educated youth would be mindful of their image, so she wouldn't see anything she shouldn't.

"elder sister."

Yi Zhiheng followed her.

When Lin Qingyan went inside, she indeed saw Lin Guanghui shamelessly lying on her bedding. However, she did not ask Lin Guanghui for it directly, but instead reported it to Wang Qiang first.

"Comrade Wang Qiang, Lin Guanghui took my bedding as soon as he arrived, and he's lying on mine now."

As the person in charge of the educated youth settlement, Wang Qiang had to live up to the title of that person.

He walked up to Lin Guanghui and said, "You took Comrade Lin Qingyan's bedding. Return it to her immediately."

“This is mine, not that brat’s.” Lin Guanghui looked at Wang Qiang: “Wang Zhiqing, you may not know, but this girl is from our family. She stole my bedding when she came here. This was originally mine. She is the thief who stole the bedding. I just took back what was rightfully mine.”

"Lin Guanghui, you really have no shame. You, your mother, and Lin Sisi have lived in my mother's house for over ten years for free, and everything in that house belongs to me. Besides, look at the flowers in this house, would a man sleep under a blanket like this?"

"What business is it of yours what kind of building I use? I like it just the way it is." Lin Guanghui had the air of a rogue.

Lin Qingyan asked Wang Qiang, "Wang Zhiqing, what do you think we should do about this?"

Wang Qiang also felt a headache coming on. "Comrade Lin Guanghui, no matter what, this bedding was brought from home by Comrade Lin Qingyan. I don't care whose it originally belonged to; I only believe what I see. Now, please return the bedding to Comrade Lin Qingyan immediately."

"I'm not paying you back, what can you do about it?"

Lin Guanghui was a habitual scoundrel and didn't take Wang Qiang seriously at all.

"Then I will report your behavior to the village truthfully."

"Go ahead and report it. I just got my things back. I did nothing wrong."

Wang Qiang was at his wit's end because he was so shameless.

He couldn't very well fight Lin Guanghui over the bedding of other educated youths. Besides, Lin Guanghui was quite tall, and even if they fought, it wasn't certain who would win.

He has never advocated using force to solve problems. If force could decide everything, then as the person in charge of this educated youth settlement, he would have been in countless fights and would have died many times over.

He said to Lin Qingyan, "Since he refuses to give it to us, Lin Qingyan, why don't we report it to the police? It would be best to let the police handle this matter."

"What?"
