Chapter 84: Looking at Everyone Equally

Shi Luo looked at the two people fighting and felt a little strange. Where was the male protagonist? He was so old. He searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him. He could only ask, "Where is Li Baoguo? Wasn't it because of him that the fight started? Where is he?"

Not only Shi Luo was looking for her, but Deng Jiao was also looking for her.

Before Xie Chen could answer, Shi Luo heard Deng Jiao's sharp voice.

"Li Baoguo, you coward, you just watched your mother beat me."

"You little bitch, you dare to scold my son? I'll strangle you to death."

Old Lady Li stopped slapping people, after all, her hands would hurt if she slapped too much, so she started pinching people, specifically picking Deng Jiao's tender flesh.

Deng Jiao screamed in pain.

But it was no use. No matter how loudly Deng Jiao shouted, Li Baoguo didn't come out.

Shi Luo had no choice but to look at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen pointed inside the Youth League compound and whispered, "Didn't you see him when you came out? He was squatting behind the door. He hasn't come out since his mother came here."

Shi Luo really didn't see it. After all, he was frightened before he even left the Youth League Home, so he didn't have the mood to look behind the door.

Jiang Hao thought about Li Baoguo and whispered to Shi Luopu, "Li Baoguo lost his father when he was three years old. His mother never remarried because of him, so Li Baoguo has always depended on his mother for everything. Naturally, he is very afraid of her, so it's normal that he doesn't dare to go out."

"What did Deng Jiao see in Li Baoguo? She can't even marry him just because of his mother. How scary!"

Li Zhe felt pain when he saw Old Lady Li beating people.

Jiang Hao said matter-of-factly, "Aside from being afraid of his mother and listening to her, Li Baoguo is pretty good. He earns full work points every day and can get pheasants and rabbits in the mountains. Besides, he only has his mother, so the burden is small. His mother can also earn work points, and many people in the village want to marry him."

Shi Luo waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, it's not advisable to obey his mother so much. If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight in the future, their daughter-in-law will be bullied to death."

A few people were discussing happily. Old Lady Li was also tired of beating her. She stood up, straightened her clothes, looked down at the almost broken Deng Jiao and said condescendingly, "Little bitch, remember this, if you dare to seduce my son again, a beating won't be enough for you."

After saying that, she stood there and shouted towards the educated youth compound, "Li Baoguo, pick up my shoes and go home."

Shi Luo now knew whose shoe it was.

Shi Luo looked at the gate of the Youth League Institute and saw Li Baoguo half bent over, holding the shoe that almost hit him, and running out.

Li Baoguo squatted down to help old lady Li put on her shoes, glanced at Deng Jiao lying on the ground, and before he could speak, he heard old lady Li say,

"Look up again or I'll whip you too. Don't you know that educated youth are restless? You want to get married? No problem, I'll find you a good one tomorrow. Come home quickly."

After hearing what Old Lady Li said, Li Baoguo shrank his neck and dared not say another word. He supported Old Lady Li and went home.

When Deng Jiao saw Li Baoguo leave, she slowly got up and limped back to the Youth League Home.

After all three parties had left, the onlookers naturally dispersed as well.

Xu Qianjin followed Shi Luo and the others back together. After entering Shi Luo's room and finding a place to sit down, he asked, "Are Deng Jiao and that Li Baoguo finished?"

Xu Qianjin didn't want these two people to be finished, because he felt that Deng Jiao was getting closer to him again some time ago.

Shi Luo recalled the scene a few days ago when Xu Qianjin and Xie Chen were playing cards in his room. Deng Jiao knocked on the door and called Xu Qianjin's name in a clipping voice, which scared Xu Qianjin so much that he almost fell under the kang. He couldn't help laughing "Hahahahahahahaha"

When Xu Qianjin heard Shi Luo's laughter, he knew what he was laughing at, and his face suddenly turned dark.

"Don't laugh at me. The only people in our brigade who have good conditions and low burdens are Jiang Hao's brothers and a few workers here and there. The rest are just the ones in our backyard. Jiang Hao's brothers are all married and have children, but we don't. So I'm not the only one who's interested in this educated youth home."

After hearing what Xu Qianjin said, Xie Chen agreed and said, "Although the workers in the brigade have good conditions, they haven't separated yet. They have elderly parents to support and nephews and nieces to take care of. We are the only ones who have no burden, and our families support us. We are also not short of money.

Ever since the Su Niannian incident, the reputation of the female educated youth in our educated youth academy has become even worse. There are really few families in the brigade who are willing to marry them.

So, the possibility of them targeting us is even greater, especially since winter is coming soon and they are short of food. Maybe they want to find a scapegoat to feed them."

Li Zhe was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. "Ah, I was wondering why Li Zhaodi keeps coming to our backyard these days. Didn't she learn enough from Jiang Hao last year? Hey, who do you think she's got her eyes on now?"

Li Zhaodi was helpless. Some time ago, her family wrote to her, asking her why she stopped sending things home and questioning whether she abandoned her family and cared about her own brother.

God knows, she is not that kind of person. It's just that her reputation has become bad, and the men in the brigade who used to like her no longer like her and stop sending her food. She really can't save the rations to send home.

In fact, Li Zhaodi didn't really want to move to the backyard because her reputation was too bad. No one in the team would like her. She also knew that the ones in the backyard looked down on her, but what if, what if she found an opportunity to rely on them? Then she would have to marry them even if she didn't want to.

If she could really marry one of these men, it would be a great way to subsidize her family.

So Li Zhaodi always went to the backyard, not targeting any one of them, but targeting everyone equally, ready to seize the opportunity, wait for the right moment, and rely on whoever she could.
