Grandpa Huang glanced at Zhou Ying, who had just caught up with them.

He misunderstood Qin Yatou. It was all that harlot's fault. If she hadn't been so shameless and infatuated with Qin Ye, the little girl wouldn't have been taught a lesson.

Yes, the girls and boys in their village are all good; the fault lies with the outsiders, especially these educated youth—they're such a nuisance!

The male educated youth turned pale with fright when he saw that Qin Xiaoxiao looked like she was about to die.

If something were to happen to this woman, would the educated youth still have a good life afterward?

They came to pick them up, but instead of being grateful, they angered the people. If they were other educated youth like them, the people of Qinjiagou might turn a blind eye and not push the responsibility onto them. But these two are siblings, and the female educated youth is obviously from this village. If something really happens, how can they be okay?

The male educated youth looked around in bewilderment and saw Zhou Ying dragging her tired body to sit down on a large rock to rest.

Upon seeing this, the male educated youth's eyes reddened, and he took a step forward and grabbed Zhou Ying's wrist.

"How dare you rest here? Go apologize to this woman right now."

As soon as Zhou Ying sat down, her wrist was grabbed, and her face immediately turned pale. "What are you doing? Let go of me, or I'll call for help."

The male educated youth got even angrier. "Go ahead and shout! There are so many people here. They can all testify that I harassed you behind your back. I just want you to apologize. If it weren't for you, this woman wouldn't have gotten sick from anger. Go now."

The faces of the educated youth were not good either. Although they had come in the same car as Zhou Ying and were all educated youth, and should be united, if something really happened to Qin Xiaoxiao, none of them could escape responsibility. The people of Qinjiagou would definitely blame them for everything.

They've already angered the villagers as soon as they arrived; will they have a good life from now on?

Over the years, they have come to realize that going to the countryside is not so simple; it cannot be done with just enthusiasm. Without the help of the villagers, they would be in for a lot of hardship.

"Apologize, apologize to this woman."

"Hurry up, if you hadn't angered her, would she be like this?"

"She became like this because of you, so apologize quickly."

"Hurry up, we're exhausted. Let's apologize and head back to the village to rest for a bit."

...

Zhou Ying was furious.

Didn't these idiots see that the woman was faking it? Are they blind?

But now that Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes are closed and she's so weak she looks like she's about to die, if she doesn't apologize and something really happens, these educated youths might just devour her alive.

Zhou Ying gritted her teeth and apologized to Qin Xiaoxiao while crying.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't know you and this man were siblings, I..."

Qin Ye waved his hand impatiently, "Shut up, can't you see my sister has fainted again? What are you apologizing for? She can't hear you right now. If you really care, wait until you've saved my sister."

After Qin Ye finished speaking, he gestured with his chin to Grandpa Huang, "Grandpa Huang, hurry back. I need to take my sister to the medical station. If all else fails, I'll take the tractor to the county hospital."

After Qin Ye finished speaking, he turned to Zhou Ying and said, "You, it's all your fault that my sister is like this. You'll have to pay for her medical treatment, or else..."

Qin Ye clenched his fist and gestured at Zhou Ying, "Otherwise, I'll beat you to death. Our Qin family doesn't have a habit of not hitting women."

It's that line again. Her brother said it to Miao Feifei when she first arrived. Later... well, Miao Feifei died. Now it all depends on this. She wonders when Zhou Ying will die. If she dies too, she'll start to suspect that her brother is carrying something.

Qin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes a crack and carefully examined her good older brother.

Her nose was high and straight, and her skin... was a bit dark, but that was fine, a healthy complexion, she knew that. Her lips were of moderate thickness, suitable for receiving... Ah, she couldn't think about that, or it would be too disgusting. Her eyes were big and bright, um, sharp enough, and they were quite scary when they glared at her.

Scary?

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly for a moment, then she decisively closed them again.

Qin Ye glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao and reached out to cover her eyes.

That carefree girl can't even concentrate on acting; people should be able to tell she's faking it by now.

But Qin Ye's act of covering it up caused a misunderstanding.

"What? What happened to her? Is she gone?"

"No way? The lady is gone just like that?"

"Weren't they apologizing? How did they die like that?"

"My God, Comrade Zhou, you've gotten yourself into trouble."

"You're finished! You've angered someone to death! Should we call the police?"

“Comrade, we don’t know this educated youth at all. It was all her fault, it has nothing to do with us.”

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with us, so don't cause us any trouble."

...

The educated youth were terrified and quickly moved away from Zhou Ying, looking at Qin Xiaoxiao with pity.

Her body was so weak, she died so easily? How did she manage to survive until now?

I heard that working in the countryside is quite tiring. She probably survived thanks to the villagers' care.

Zhou Ying was also dumbfounded.

Dead, dead?

No way? She's really dead? She died of anger?

Oh my god, this is terrible, she's in big trouble!

Qin Ye stared blankly at everyone.

What nonsense are these people spouting? Who died? His sister?

Damn! We've gone too far!

How is he supposed to continue acting like this? He can't exactly act out a funeral, can he? He's afraid his father will die of anger too.

Oh, there are two elderly people at home. His grandparents will definitely kill him before they die of anger, because he didn't protect his sister.

Qin Ye rubbed his forehead.

These people really have a vivid imagination.

Before Qin Ye could explain, he heard Zhou Ying sobbing.

"I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, I didn't want to anger her to death, sob sob sob... Why am I so unlucky? Being sent to this godforsaken rural area is bad enough, and now I'm involved in a murder case, sob sob... I might as well die with her, that would save me..."

Qin Ye didn't listen to what Zhou Ying said after that; he was so annoyed by her crying that his head was throbbing.

"That's enough, stop crying, my sister is fine."

As she spoke, she removed her hand from Qin Xiaoxiao's face, "I just wanted to check if she had a fever. I didn't get the distance right and touched the wrong spot, which is why I covered her eyes and caused you to misunderstand."

Qin Ye, his face dark, lashed out at Old Huang with his whip and walked away without looking back.

"Hurry up and leave, my sister is waiting for treatment."

He needed to make it clear that his sister had gotten sick from anger, and teach that woman a lesson. He had a feeling that if he didn't crush her this time, he'd be in for a lot of trouble later.

The educated youth stared in astonishment at Qin Ye's retreating figure.

The person isn't dead?

Why are you covering your eyes if the person isn't dead?

Touched the wrong place? Who would believe that!
