"What's going on? Are there conflicts between you educated youth and the villagers?" Chu Xi was very curious. After all, she was also an educated youth and knew too many things like this. Especially some educated youth who looked down on the villagers and had high expectations but poor skills, which was really annoying.

“When I first came here, I was quite popular…”

Chu Zewen seemed to want to dig out a secret that was buried deep in his heart.

It turned out that when Chu Zewen first went to the countryside as an educated youth, he was a young boy with a cheerful personality. He got along well with the young people in the village, worked diligently, and was good-looking. Many young girls also liked to work and chat with him.

But as he grew taller and more mature in the past two years, many nearby rural families with young girls began to make their own plans.

Many rural families want to marry their daughters to city dwellers, as they feel that city dwellers have no worries about food and drink and do not have to work in the fields for food, so they are very happy.

So, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and each showed their magical powers.

The common tactic was for rural boys and girls to get acquainted with the educated youth (male or female) they liked, to build relationships with them, or even to have private dealings with them. This was a taboo in that era. If one was not careful, they might be defined as adulterers, and their reputation would be ruined.

There were indeed some successful cases. Some educated youth, both men and women, could not stand the hardships in the countryside but had no choice but to accept other people's kindness, got married and lived in other people's homes. After all, their lives were better.

The more despicable tactic is to force a man and a woman to marry. For example, if a man and a woman are caught in the same room together, or in the woods together, and they happen to be seen by many people, with irrefutable evidence, they will say that you have tarnished the other person's innocence and must get married, otherwise they will sue you for hooliganism!

Chu Zewen's situation was better, as he saved a young woman who fell into the water.

Although the person was rescued, there was physical contact between them after all, so the girl's family demanded that he marry her on the grounds that he had tarnished the girl's reputation.

Chu Zewen disagreed, so they went to the educated youth camp and the commune to make trouble. Finally, the girl came to her senses and realized that the man was unwilling to marry her and that they would not be happy if they really got married. So she persuaded her parents and even threatened to commit suicide.

In the end, her parents asked him for fifty yuan as compensation...

Fifty yuan is not a small amount in this era. Most rural families cannot save fifty yuan after working hard for a year.

Chu Zewen estimated that he would need to save for a year, after all, he had just come down at that time and might not have adapted yet.

Chu Zewen was actually quite grateful to the girl, but he just didn't want to meet her ungrateful parents, so he would stay in the village if possible to avoid running into those snobbish and ungrateful parents who would pay him for saving someone. He would really have no place to seek justice then.

Chu Zewen felt much more relaxed after saying these words. These were words he had been holding back for a long time. Since he had no family to talk to, he would rather keep them to himself, so there was no one he could talk to.

It is not the same man as a gentleman who does not seek revenge. Chu Xi felt that such a person must be punished. Taking advantage of their climbing time, Chu Xi found out the address of the family in the mountain village. From the top of the not very high hill, the village below was clearly visible.

After returning to the educated youth camp, Chu Xi quickly proposed to leave.

"I'm going back to the county guesthouse today and will come back tomorrow. Is there anything else you need? Tell me, I'm worth hundreds of thousands now, don't disbelieve me."

Chu Zewen obviously didn't believe it and thought his sister was playing a joke on him.

"There's really nothing missing. You've brought a lot, it's more than enough."

"Okay, let me take a look. You can keep the 500 yuan and the ticket first. If you need anything in the future, you can make up for it yourself." Chu Xi took the money calmly.

Chu Zewen couldn't believe his ears. Not to mention their family now, even when nothing happened, it would not be easy for them to take so much money at once. He looked at the money in a daze...

"Don't be dazed, keep it well, or you can deposit it in the post office. Remember, money is not as important as life!" Chu Xi showed her elder sister's authority.

After thinking about it, Chu Xi took out a thermos cup from the bag he was carrying on his back, which was actually a space.

"This is the Chinese herbal medicine I brewed. You can keep it and drink it. You can only drink one sip a day. Don't drink too much. You may have diarrhea at first, but it's normal. It can improve your body's resistance."

This was actually something she had just diluted slightly with the spiritual spring water from the space, and she deliberately added some Chinese herbs such as ginseng and wolfberry to disguise it. The spiritual spring water would definitely improve his physique, and hopefully it would ward off some disasters and diseases.

"And that bicycle, I bought it just for you today. I'll leave it to you when I leave tomorrow."

"Come with me to the county tomorrow and show me around."

"Okay, I'll ask for leave later. You guys drive slowly." He believed that his sister could get here safely after traveling more than 3,000 miles, so this distance was nothing.
