When Song Yan entered the village, he happened to run into Wang Wenjuan and the others leaving the village.

Dong Mingming's face and body were covered in blood. Was that dirt stuck to her face? What happened that I missed?

When Song Yan arrived home, Jiang Xiaoxiao was still furious.

This isn't something that can be hidden; there were so many people around at the time. Jiang Xiaoxiao recounted the whole story.

Song Yan sighed, "I was too soft-hearted."

…

If a tooth falls out, it's gone. What can you do about it? A minor cut in your mouth isn't a big deal either.

The commune doctor repeatedly disinfected the area. He gave Dong Mingming some painkillers and charged her one yuan.

Wang Wenjuan was furious because Dong Mingming had made her miss meals. Dong Mingming was an eight out of ten dislike at the hospital, but when she went to the brigade leader, she made it a ten out of ten.

Dong Mingming said she was injured and shouldn't have to pay for it. Whoever injured her should pay.

The commune doctor had already treated her; how could they refuse to pay her? Dong Mingming just lay there like a corpse. Wang Wenjuan had no choice but to pay him one yuan. She went back and told the brigade leader about it.

The team leader waved his hand. "It's nothing, just have Accountant Shen keep a record and deduct it from your salary at the end of the year." Dong Mingming had only returned to work after two days of rest. She had also gone to see Team Leader Wu, demanding compensation for being beaten.

"If the women are fighting, go find Director Wang." With just one sentence, Captain Wu sent Dong Mingming to Wang Wenjuan.

Wang Wenjuan must be exceptionally eloquent to have become the women's director.

Fine, you want money! But let's talk about your character first. What kind of problem is it that you slandered military families?

They hit you because you provoked them first, so it's understandable.

My position is low and my abilities are limited. If you think what I said is wrong, then go find the educated youth office!

If the educated youth office comes to investigate, we will tell the truth.

Anyway, you educated youth tend to stick together. They'll probably side with you, right? Let them testify for you.

If he didn't infuriate Dong Mingming, then all the beating he took was for nothing?

She made a move to go to the office for educated youth.

What good would it do to go to the educated youth office?

Wang Wenjuan, go ahead and go. If you keep making a fuss, the brigade leader will go to the educated youth office and send you back directly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao is such a good girl! She got into a fight with Dong Mingming. The other members of the brigade took sides, and Cheng Ersao couldn't stand it and hit her.

To put it vaguely, let's switch the order of the battles!

Nothing's wrong!

After two days of feeling frustrated, Dong Mingming had no choice but to go to work. If she didn't earn work points, how would she get her share of grain at the end of the year?

Youfu's slap was quite hard; you can still see the bruises on his face.

Dong Mingming looked at Song Yan provocatively.

Li Yuanzhao sighed. What kind of person was Dong Mingming? She locked the door early in the evening and wouldn't let Li Yuanzhao or Shen Hanyang near it. She was afraid they would secretly open the door and Song Yan would come and deal with her.

She's clearly terrified. If she's afraid of dying, she should just stay quiet. Why are you causing trouble?

Before Li Yuanzhao could pull herself out of her thoughts, she heard someone exclaim, "Song Zhiqing!"

Song Yan walked past Dong Mingming, spun around, and knocked her to the ground before leaving.

Dong Mingming: "Song Yan hit me! Did everyone see that? Song Yan hit me!"

Song Yan: "I was just walking past you, who saw me hit you?"

By publicly challenging Dong Mingming, Song Yan was making his stance clear.

There's a saying: "One should not provoke the wrath of the masses."

The Cheng family has four brothers, plus their own relatives and friends, and also those who are on good terms with Song Yan. This covers almost half of the brigade.

Besides, how can you expect the locals to forgive you when a young educated youth from out of town is bullying them?

Almost everyone in the brigade was angry at Dong Mingming.

From the day she started working, Dong Mingming broke the farm tools. She said the tools were already broken when she gave them to her.

Broken? You took something broken and used it? Who would believe that? Hurry up and compensate for the public property.

Why did you uproot all the seedlings? You'll lose work points!

Dong Mingming was not satisfied. She looked back and saw that her row of corn seedlings was missing a lot.

I didn't do it! But since I did it, Dong Mingming can't deny it.

Deducting work points isn't enough! Dong Mingming needs to go to the field to find two more trees, move them over to make up for the missing ones, and ensure they survive.

Replanting seedlings isn't difficult, but ensuring their survival is key. Let's water them!

Even during lunch break, Dong Mingming didn't have a chance to rest.

The village only has one river, which is quite far from here. Just one bucket of water is enough to exhaust Dong Mingming. Watering these seedlings would require at least five or six buckets!

Dong Mingming was tired and hungry, so she decided to go back and eat first.

These past few days, Dong Mingming has been refusing to cook, citing her injury as the reason. Fine, if she doesn't want to cook, then so be it—people just won't eat with her, right?

When Dong Mingming returned to the educated youth settlement, she still had to cook for herself.

Dong Mingming felt she really couldn't hold on any longer. She never imagined that a single lie would provoke so much hatred. If she had known this would happen, she would never have said it.

Pan Bo took Shen Hanyang's bowl out to wash it.

Dong Mingming was exhausted, so she asked Pan Bo to help her carry two buckets of water.

Everyone knows what's going on with Dong Mingming. She brought this trouble upon herself, so who's going to care?

Pan Bo refused immediately, saying, "I have a girlfriend. If I go there to fetch you water, it'll be hard to explain."

Shen Hanyang came out when he heard the voice.

"Go inside and lie down for a while, you still have work to do this afternoon." Pan Bo felt sorry for Shen Hanyang, who looked tired.

Shen Hanyang smiled slightly, "Yes, I'll go right away."
