A TV drama from the 90s was once the origin of Yu Yin's nightmares, and its ending theme song deeply influenced her.
Yu Yin's childhood was filled with the sounds of her parents argui...
Yu Yin didn't ask who orchestrated all of this. Instead, she asked Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang to help her take the female educated youth and the child who brought the news to the Revolutionary Committee.
"Please, aunties, this matter needs to be addressed. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, how will we live our lives?"
Those who had been watching the commotion earlier were no longer indifferent. Those who lived in the county generally had jobs. If, as Comrade Xiao Yu said, someone else came to their home and pulled a similar stunt, it was uncertain whether their husbands could remain as composed as Teacher Lu. The crowd stopped watching and began pushing and shoving the sobbing female educated youth and the frightened child towards the Revolutionary Committee.
Inside the Revolutionary Committee office, Wang Wenye, Lu Shuqi, and several others were present; even Director Chu hadn't left. They were still working on their day off; it was unclear whether they were being diligent or had something to discuss.
"Why is it so noisy outside? Something seems to be happening."
Qian Weiguo was a chatterbox but also quite active; he ran out as soon as he finished speaking.
Not far away, a group of aunties and older women pushed and shoved a crying girl over. What shocked him most was that Sister Lu was also with her.
"Uncle Chu, something terrible has happened!"
Qian Weiguo turned around and shouted as he entered the office, as if the enemy had broken in.
"I'm fine. What are you yelling about? Be more composed."
Chu Jianguo said with disdain, "That's the only bad thing about this kid; he's too loud and boastful."
"No, a group of aunties and grandmas came in from outside, along with a woman who was crying and sobbing. Most importantly, Sister Lu was with them, looking very serious."
Qian Weiguo spoke as if he were on a live broadcast, making it very vivid.
Chu Jianguo sensed something was amiss and went out first, followed by the others.
Outside, Yu Yin and others also arrived at the entrance of the Revolutionary Committee.
What happened?
"Director Chu, if a man's ill intentions towards a woman are considered 'hooliganism,' then how is it defined if a woman has ill intentions towards a man?"
"Wow……"
"ah……"
"Women to men?"
Yu Yin's words were like a thunderbolt, shattering everyone's understanding.
"How dare you speak to me like that? How am I being malicious?"
The female educated youth was named Yao Hong, and she had been in the countryside for less than half a year. She had never done heavy work before. Since arriving, her hands were blistered, her feet were bitten by leeches, and her face was tanned. The worst part was that she couldn't earn enough to feed herself. It was too hard.
However, she also knew that if the charges against her were proven today, she would be in even worse shape, so she tried her best to distance herself from the situation.
"If you didn't have any ill intentions, why were you splashing around in water that barely reached your waist, and even sent a child to my house so my husband could save you? And when Aunt Wang pulled you up, you didn't even look at her before throwing yourself into her arms, and you even unbuttoned your clothes. What were you trying to do?"
"I... I didn't send anyone to call Lu Zhiqing. I'm not familiar with him."
Yao Hong was relieved that she hadn't personally arranged for the child to call for help; as long as she didn't admit it, there was nothing they could do. In a critical moment, her mind came to work.
“Director Chu, the child is here, and Aunt Wang and the others can also testify to what she said.”
Yu Yin didn't argue with her; things were cleared up, and there was no point in arguing.
"Kid, come here and tell me, who told you to go and call Teacher Lu to save people?"
The child was terrified. If only he hadn't been greedy for those few pieces of candy.
“A female educated youth gave me a few White Rabbit milk candies and asked me to go to Teacher Lu’s house, saying that an educated youth had fallen into the water and asked him to go and save him.”
Do you know which female educated youth she is?
"I don't know her. She stopped me on the way and told me."
After hearing this, Chu Jianguo realized that things were going to get complicated. There were so many female educated youths on the farms of the Production and Construction Corps that even the children might not be able to recognize who gave them the candy.
What's your name?
Chu Jianguo decided to start with the female educated youth, as she was the only breakthrough point.
"My name is Yao Hong, and I am an educated youth from Sichuan Province."
Yu Yin thought to herself that she was incompatible with Sichuan Province, and her mother was also from Sichuan Province.
“You say you have no ulterior motives, but someone has testified that you rushed into the arms of the aunt who was pulling you while calling out the name of Lu Zhiqing. Are you still going to deny it? Confess honestly, or you will face more than just a little punishment.”
When Uncle Chu gets serious, his aura is something that most people can't withstand.
Looking at the serious-looking Director Chu, Yao Hong felt frightened, remembering the public denunciations she had witnessed.
“I told you, I told you, it was Wang Mengyao who said that Lu Zhiqing is a good catch, but he's been tricked by the wrong person. He's being treated like a son-in-law, living a life worse than death. If someone lends him a hand, he'll be very grateful and will definitely get a divorce. Teachers have good benefits, high salaries, and good pay. I've secretly seen Lu Zhiqing, he's good-looking, and I'm attracted to him. Wang Mengyao mentioned it so many times that I decided to rescue Lu Zhiqing. Wang Mengyao said she would arrange for someone to find Lu Zhiqing to rescue me, and all I have to do is pretend to fall into the water, then Lu Zhiqing can get a divorce and marry me.”
Everyone looked at Yao Hong as if she were a fool. She believed everything others said without ever asking around.
"Go and fetch Wang Mengyao."
Yu Yin felt like she'd swallowed a fly; she was disgusted. This Wang Mengyao is like an unkillable cockroach, incredibly resilient!
A short while later, Wang Mengyao arrived.
"Wang Mengyao, Yao Hong said you helped him plot against Lu Zhiqing, is that true?"
"No, she's lying. I've known Lu Zhiqing since I was a child. I was classmates with his younger brother, and my elders are also good friends. Why would I scheme against him?"
Wang Mengyao remained calm, and her arguments were logical, well-founded, and irrefutable.
"You, didn't you say you would rescue Lu Zhiqing and even help me find someone to notify him to come and rescue me? Why are you denying it now?"
