Liang Shurui was taken aback, then said, "She didn't bully you, you're the one who bullied her, He Zhiqing. What you did was wrong. I haven't told anyone else about this, but if the other educated youths find out, you won't be able to stay in the educated youth settlement. Apologize to her. I still have half a pound of brown sugar; give it to her as compensation. In the future..."

“From now on, what’s yours is yours and what’s mine is mine. Liang Zhiqing, what kind of relationship do we have? Do you need to help me send her gifts as compensation? Also, you only listened to her side of the story and asked me to apologize to her. I think you’ve been fooled by her words.”

Liang Shurui blushed as she retorted: "How can you talk like that? I just think you and my sister are about the same age. It's not easy for you to come here at such a young age. You're still young, so you can't be so reckless in the future. If you continue to act without considering the consequences, it will be very difficult for you in the educated youth settlement."

"Thank you for your concern, Liang Zhiqing. I can take care of myself. I think you should stay away from me in the future; I might be better off at the educated youth camp." He Wan said as she stood up, looked at Chen Qing who was sulking not far away, and walked straight over. Chen Qing was really scared by her posture and quickly stepped aside, hiding behind Liang Shurui: "He Zhiqing, we're at the educated youth camp now. Do you want to hit someone?"

“You won’t learn your lesson unless I beat you.” Pointing at Liang Shurui, he said, “Look, you’re starting to act all innocent again in front of others. Oh, being innocent means that this woman is actually dark-hearted and morally corrupt, and she just pretends to be pure and noble. She’s like Chen Zhiqing now. Even though she pushed me today, she insisted that she didn’t. She’s very good at playing the victim in front of others.”

Hearing her explanation, Xue Zhenzhen's eyes lit up.

Chen Qing said aggrievedly, "He Zhiqing, it was my bad luck to run into you today, but you can't push me down and beat me like this just because I was careless." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She then said to Liang Shurui, "Liang Zhiqing, forget it. She's still young. I'll just let it go."

This act of being so magnanimous and aggrieved made the men at the educated youth settlement feel a little sorry for her, thinking that He Wan had gone too far.

Liang Shurui spread his arms to protect Chen Qing behind him and said to her, "He Zhiqing, I never knew you were so savage. You've disappointed me greatly."

"I am who I am, Liang Zhiqing. Stop with that 'I'm doing this for your own good' act. My family doesn't need any more brothers." After saying that, she squatted down on the ground and burst into tears: "I came to the countryside at such a young age, and I just wanted to do my part for the country. I'm not strong, and I can't keep up with you in terms of work, but I've tried my best. But today, I don't know what happened. Chen Zhiqing bumped into me, and then she deliberately pulled me, actually pushing me down. Someone bullied me, so isn't it right for me to fight back? According to Chen Zhiqing, she can bully me, but I can't hit her?"

You're all twisting the truth! You're just bullying me because I'm young, waah...

Upon hearing this, the others agreed. If someone was bullying them, they certainly couldn't be cowards and let others bully them. Seeing that Xiaohe, the educated youth, was so aggrieved that she didn't care about her image and started to throw a tantrum.

Was today's incident really Chen Qing's fault?

Wang Jianguo and Wang Xiaorong didn't know who to advise. There were so many people at the educated youth settlement, especially the female educated youth, who would quarrel from time to time, and they were used to it.

They don't know what happened today.

Xue Zhenzhen sat to the side, cracking sunflower seeds, looking on with amusement.

Ding Shaoling and Xie Meihui tried to persuade Chen Qing.

However, if He Wan hadn't told them today, they wouldn't have known that He Wan is only fourteen years old. They had no intention of bullying the younger one.

Seeing He Wan crying her heart out, Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao quickly pulled her up.

Su Ranran said, "He Qing, don't cry. You are the youngest in our educated youth group. From now on, we will be your big brothers and sisters."

Zhang Cuicao said, "Yes, you're one of the educated youth here, so we're practically family. Ranran and I will protect you from now on. Chen, you should stay away from He Wan from now on. She's so young, and you're an older sister, how can you be so unreasonable? Besides, you know best what happened today."

At this moment, Chen Qing walked out from behind Liang Shurui, wiped away her tears and said, "Of course I know. My good intentions were taken for granted. Not only was I beaten, but I was also accused of bullying the weak. What did I do to deserve this?" With that, she ran away feeling wronged.

Liang Shurui couldn't figure out who was right and who was wrong at this moment. Looking in the direction Chen Qing ran, he thought about it and ultimately decided not to chase after him.

In the end, Chen Qing refused to eat out of spite, and He Wan also refused to eat out of spite, which benefited the others.

So He Wan didn't have time to enter the space that day.
