Yang Huifang left Su Yu, who was in a daze, and turned around and ran out of the Youth League compound.

Su Yu sighed helplessly and muttered, "It's easy to dodge an arrow from the open, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."

“Boom boom boom…”

"Shishi, are you home?"

Song Shishi and Xu Li, who were preparing to have lunch, looked at each other.

Xu Li glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate and said, "It sounds like Sister Huifang."

Song Shishi stood up and said, "Maybe something happened. I'll go open the door."

She opened the gate and looked at Yang Huifang, who looked anxious. She was a little surprised. "What's wrong? Why are you running so fast? What happened?"

"Let's go in and talk." Yang Huifang looked around and pointed in the direction of the main hall.

...

...

Song Shishi stepped aside to let Yang Huifang in, then led her into the main room.

Yang Huifang ran over in a fit of rage, completely forgetting the time.

Seeing Xu Li shoveling rice into her mouth, Yang Huifang smiled awkwardly, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

"It's okay. Have you had lunch? If not, just have a bite here."

Song Shishi didn't think it was a big deal. After all, Yang Huifang had always been nice to them. It was just a matter of adding a set of bowls and chopsticks.

"That's embarrassing. I just want to talk to you and then I'll leave." Yang Huifang blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xu Li rolled her eyes, put down her bowl and chopsticks, smiled and stood up, pulling Yang Huifang to sit on the bench next to her, "Sister Huifang, why should we be polite to each other? If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

After saying that, Xu Li turned around and ran out again. After a while, she came back with a set of bowls and chopsticks.

Looking at the white rice in front of her, Yang Huifang felt a little sour in her nose.

She has never eaten white rice since she went to the countryside.

Thinking about how she had to live frugally with just a little bit of coarse grain every day, and then looking at the simple life that Song Shishi and Xu Li are leading now, she was really envious.

"How about... let's talk after dinner?" Song Shishi sat down next to him.

Xu Li nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah, I'm starving. If you have anything to say, let's talk after we eat."

"Sister Huifang, try the dishes my sister cooks, they are delicious." Xu Li said as she picked up some food for Yang Huifang.

Seeing Song Shishi and Xu Li like this, Yang Huifang stopped being shy.

The three of them finished their meal quietly. Xu Li took the initiative to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen, leaving space for Song Shishi and Yang Huifang to talk.

In the main room, Song Shishi asked while making tea: "You came to see me, is there something?"

Yang Huifang repeated to Song Shishi word for word what Jiang Cuihua had said in the Youth League Home.

"You have to be careful of Jiang Cuihua in the future. Today, she blamed all the faults on you in front of us. It really pissed me off. I have never seen such a shameless person."

Yang Huifang was originally not used to Jiang Cuihua's usual behavior, so when she described it to her, she inevitably exaggerated it.

However, she still felt Yang Huifang's good intentions.

She said calmly, "I know what's going on. In fact, it's not just Jiang Cuihua. Zhou Xingxue has also been targeting me because of An Jinsheng's incident. Last time in the grain field, Aunt Liu spread rumors like that, most likely at the instigation of Zhou Xingxue."

"What? There is such a thing?" Yang Huifang frowned, but after thinking about it, she felt that what Song Shishi said made sense. "No wonder, I was just wondering, that day it was clearly a conflict between Shen Hongying and the others, how did it suddenly lead to you."

Speaking of this, Yang Huifang remembered that when she came back from the mountain that day, she heard that Song Shishi was beaten, but she was not there that day and could not help.

Yang Huifang said apologetically, "Su Yu pestered me to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables that day. When I came back, I found out that you were implicated..."

She quickly understood what Yang Huifang meant. She waved her hand and smiled at Yang Huifang, "It's okay. I know Aunt Liu very well. Even if you come, you can't handle her."

"Come to think of it, it makes sense. I heard that she was beaten by Shen Hongying that day and her waist was injured. In the past two days, she asked her son to carry her to the gate of the Youth House and pestered Shen Hongying, saying that if Shen Hongying didn't compensate her, she would come to the Youth House every day."

"But Chen Hongying is not a pushover. She goes out before dawn every day and never goes to work. I don't know where she goes."

Where else can you run to?

Chen Shanhe did not go to work for Carpenter Zhao and did not give an explanation, so Shen Hongying would naturally not let him go easily.

"Then have you seen Wei Xiaoxuan?"

Yang Huifang sneered, "Wei Xiaoxuan? Although Chen Shanhe had been protecting her that day, they were no match for Shen Hongying's strength. She went to town as soon as she came back that day. I heard from Deputy Captain Zhang that she will have to stay in the hospital for several days."

No matter when, the third party is hated.

Wei Xiaoxuan was afraid that even if she came back, she would not be able to stay in the Huaiqing Brigade.

However, everyone has their own way of living, and no one can predict what the final outcome will be.

Originally, this matter had little to do with Song Shishi, but if she wanted to deal with Zhou Xingxue, she needed to use Shen Hongying.

"It's almost time. I have to go to work. I'll come and play with you guys in the evening."

When Yang Huifang left, Xu Li had just finished cleaning the kitchen, and the two of them went to the fields together.

Song Shishi and Xiao Shiwu were the only ones left at home. Song Shishi prepared some food for Xiao Shiwu, while she took a low table and a stool and sat under the eaves to translate documents.

I have to go to town to mail a letter to Carpenter Zhao tomorrow. I'll stay up today and finish translating the document. I'll be able to send it back to Director Zhao tomorrow.

The events that happened one after another in the village made her more determined to leave here early.

"Is Song Zhiqing at home? There is a letter for you."

She sat there for several hours. Just as she stood up to move around, she heard someone calling her from outside the yard.

When she opened the gate, she saw a middle-aged man dressed as a postman standing at the door. He smiled and took out a letter from the green cloth bag hanging on his bicycle and handed it to her: "Is this Song Zhiqing? Here is a letter for you."

"OK, thanks."

She took the letter from the postman and went into the house.

Her mother had just started writing to her not long ago. Normally, she wouldn't have written to her so frequently unless something special happened.

I looked at the return address on the envelope and it turned out to be Qinghe Town.
