Chapter 88: Replacement, Bachelor Village

Zhao Leyi's father looked at his daughter and sighed. All his children are debts to him. "If you continue to stay in Dafeng Village, you won't be able to find a partner. Even the educated youth outside will look down on you. I will ask the village chief to find a way to apply to the higher authorities to transfer you away."

Zhao Leyi stopped crying and looked up at her father with tears in her eyes, "Can I be transferred?"

"We have to give it a try. If it succeeds, the place we will be transferred to may have worse conditions than Dafeng Village."

Zhao Leyi lowered her eyebrows, thinking of the way the villagers looked at her and the words they said at the door of He Qianghai's house, "I'll go, as long as I can go."

As long as no one knew what happened to her in Dafeng Village, she would still be the glamorous and beautiful educated youth who went to the countryside in the new place.

Zhao Leyi's parents took her to the village chief's house.

He Haiming looked at the expressions on the three people's faces, which were completely different from the way they had just thrown a tantrum at He Qianghai's house.

Zhao Leyi's father: "Leyi has been in Dafeng Village for more than a year. Thanks to the careful care of the village chief, this child has been spoiled at home. When she came out, her mother and I were so worried that we couldn't sleep day and night. After all, she is our biological daughter. We came too hastily today and didn't understand the matter clearly. Tomorrow, her mother and I will go to the town to buy some things and send them to He Qianghai's house to apologize."

He Haiming's eyebrows twitched. They probably didn't want to see it. Anything they brought in would be smashed out. "I can't say I take care of them. There are so many educated youth in the village. I treat them all equally. Whether they live well or not depends on themselves."

Zhao Leyi had a blank expression on her face.

"I came to see the village chief today because I have something to ask. This child has caused a lot of trouble in the village, so her mother and I are thinking about whether we can find a new place for her to work in the countryside."

He Haiming was a little confused. He was in a different rural area and dared to say that!

"Where the educated youth go to the countryside is decided by the higher authorities. If I, as a village head, have any way to prevent them from coming, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."

Zhao Leyi's father quickly explained: "We don't want to be transferred to other places. There are many villages under Yihe Town. We can just transfer to one that is far away."

Changing provinces and cities is too difficult, and they haven’t thought about it. As long as it’s not near Dafeng Village, it’s fine.

He Haiming sighed, straightened his back and said seriously: "You may not know the actual situation. The educated youth in the city have a high level of education, but they know nothing about farm work and are weak. Every year when the educated youth come, the villagers welcome them on the surface, but actually despise them in their hearts. When the leaders above give orders, we have to follow their lead."

"No village is willing to accept more educated youth, especially female ones. Even if I report this to the town, I will be rejected. Unless someone from another village is willing to make the switch, there is nothing anyone can do."

Zhao Leyi's face turned pale. He had condescended to come to the countryside to farm, but he didn't expect that they thought this way.

Zhao Leyi's parents looked heavy-hearted. They had no relatives or connections in City D. How could they find educated youth who were willing to move to another place?

Zhao Leyi's mother looked at the village chief and begged, "The child's problem has not been resolved. His father and I may have to stay in the village for two days. I wonder if there is room? It will be fine as long as we can squeeze in."

He Haiming didn't know what to say at this moment?

There is no place for outsiders to stay in the village. Isn't this embarrassing? "There is really no place in the village. You can go to the guesthouse in town to see if there are any beds."

After several requests were rejected in a row, Zhao Leyi's parents were too embarrassed to stay any longer.

After leaving the village chief's house, Zhao Leyi's father said to her, "Your mother and I will go to live in the town. I will find a chance to inquire about the situation tomorrow. You should stay in the village quietly for the next two days, talk less and do more, and wait for news from your mother and me."

Zhao Leyi nodded, "Can you hurry up? I don't want to stay here any longer."

Zhao Leyi's father had a heavy expression on his face. He turned around and pulled Zhao Leyi's mother towards the town.

When He Qianghai came to Zhang Meili's house to look for her, he was very quiet. What happened today was a huge blow to him. "I'm sorry, I should have been more alert when you asked me that day, otherwise what happened today wouldn't have happened."

If He Fengfeng and the other kids hadn't seen Zhao Leyi jump into the river by herself, today's incident would definitely not have been resolved in a short time, and in the end he might really have to marry Zhao Leyi.

Zhang Meili smiled and said, "It's okay. She just saw that you are kind and would not stand by and watch someone die, so she did this. As long as the matter is resolved, evildoers will be punished. You don't have to think it's your fault."

He Qianghai smiled bitterly and said, "Next time I will never jump into the river to save a girl again."

The next day at work, He Qianghai and Zhang Meili were so inseparable that no one around them was willing to work.

Wang Shuning watched it with his own eyes, and inexplicably felt a sense of desolation in his heart. He shook his head to throw away his troubled thoughts, stood up and looked in the direction of Zhao Leyi, and he felt much quieter.

At noon, Zhao Leyi's mother brought a pound of flour and half a pound of brown sugar to He Qianghai's house to apologize, but was kicked out by He Qianghai's mother. The director did not confiscate anything and became a complete enemy and refused to forgive.

A few days later, Zhao Leyi's father hurried to the village and took Zhao Leyi to see the village chief, and then the three of them went to the town.

He Haiming was very surprised when he learned that Zhao's parents had found an educated youth who was willing to exchange with Zhao Leyi. He thought that two outsiders could actually accomplish such a thing. They wouldn't have found someone more bizarre than Zhao Leyi to transfer here, right?

The four people arrived at the government office, where the staff were already sorting out the materials.

He Haiming picked up the personal information of the female educated youth who was about to be transferred over and looked at it.

When I saw the column about the location of the rural youth, I realized that it was no wonder that a female educated youth could be replaced by a male educated youth. It turned out to be a famous bachelor village in Chaoyang County. It was located in the mountains and one had to cross five mountains to get to the town.

The local village chief was eager to have a female educated youth. It didn't matter if she did little work, as long as she could get married and have children.

He Haiming signed the agreement very happily, but the person transferred here was a male educated youth, and the vacant bed at the educated youth center was in the room for female educated youths, so he had to live with Zhao Heping, and he didn't know if that guy was willing to do that.

Zhao Leyi's parents took the certificate and went straight back to the village to help Zhao Leyi pack her things. They headed for the mountains that afternoon. They had been in Yihe Town for four or five days, and it cost a lot to stay in the guesthouse every day. They had to finish their business quickly so that they could go back the next morning.

Luo Pengcheng felt very refreshed when he arrived at Dafeng Village carrying the sack. Staying in a remote place with no roads for half a year really made him feel suffocated.

When he knew that he would have to share a double room with Zhao Heping and pay two yuan in rent every month, he agreed without hesitation.

He has been in the countryside for more than half a year and has not spent a single penny in the bachelor village. Everything in the village is self-sufficient. When he came here, he climbed five mountains on foot, which completely scared away his desire to go out.

Zhao Heping stood in the room and watched Luo Pengcheng pack up his things. The single room was gone.
