The duo who had been loafing around for eight or nine days finally returned to the main team.

The previous four days were spent cooperating with the county public security bureau to encounter the "hundred-man killing" incident at Yunqi Mountain.

He spent three days on the scheme, and the two of them spent eight or nine days playing outside, so they had been away from the village for more than half a month.

Although the two men confidently declared they weren't afraid of the brigade leader, they were actually quite panicked when they returned to the village.

To be honest, Liu Dazhu's cold expression was a bit creepy.

The two had just entered the village and hadn't even met the village head when they encountered Tang Liping.

Su Qingci was both surprised and puzzled. Why was she back?

What's puzzling is that the crime of hooliganism wasn't very serious back then? Didn't they have to hold meetings and parade people through the streets as punishment?

Surprisingly, Tang Liping looks very different.

She used to be cheerful and always smiling. She had two short, black braids that reached her shoulders, and she looked sharp and capable.

Now she exudes a gloomy aura, her braids have been replaced by short hair that reaches her ears, her whole body is dark and yellow, and her cheeks are so thin that they are sunken.

The half-worn clothes hung loosely on his body, looking as if they were about to be blown away by the wind.

Tang Liping met the eyes of the two men for a moment before quickly lowering her head.

She was carrying a bundle of peanut vines that had been harvested, ready to throw them into the cowshed.

Seeing Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou walk past him, Cui kept his head down and didn't say a word.

But Su Qingci still saw a strong hatred in her eyes as she looked down at her.

Tang Liping used to help Su Meifang scheme against Su Qingci in order to become a female soldier. There was no conflict between them. Now, it's all because she hates her.

Although there is no evidence to prove that Su Qingci was responsible for her affair with Yu Zhengbao.

But she knew that this matter was 100% related to her, or at least caused by her.

Looking back on the torment of the past twenty days, she really wished she could kill Su Qingci.

But the man's icy, warning gaze just now felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her restless heart.

Add to that the madwoman Shen Chuntao, who inexplicably cornered her in the outhouse the night she returned.

The words spoken while holding a sharp sickle to her neck instantly extinguished her desire for revenge.

That was the first time she felt so close to death.

They're all lunatics, either lunatics or perverts.

She had to leave quickly.

She was unwilling to marry Yu Zhengbao before, and now it's even more impossible.

Because Yu Zhengbao has already been dismissed.

These past two days, the villagers have been staring at him like he's a monkey, and some bachelors have even been making all sorts of lewd and insulting jokes.

The people at the educated youth settlement avoided her like the plague, making all sorts of veiled insults and sarcastic remarks.

Even Aunt Liu, who lived at the very edge of the village, would carry a bowl around most of the village during mealtimes and come to the educated youth settlement with a few other women to see her.

Wherever she goes, the conversation will begin.

Every minute she spent in the Gaotang production team felt like she was suffocating.

More than seeking revenge, she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

It seems that Old Lady Yu already knows that Yu Zhengbao is in trouble.

When I first came back, I treated her like she wasn't even human.

This morning, however, he seemed like a completely different person. He came over with a kind expression to discuss marrying her.

What could she do?

We can only drag it out for now.

Before returning to the production team, she had already sent a telegram to Su Meifang.

He lied and claimed that he had completed the task she had assigned, and that he was about to be imprisoned himself because he had helped her.

I hope she can get herself back soon.

She's so far away, there's no way she could come to verify it.

As long as Su Meifang keeps her word, her life can be restarted.

She can't touch Su Qingci, but she won't let anyone else who bullies her get away with it.

If you dare say she's disgraced everyone and ruined everyone's reputation, then let's all be disgraced together.

Since you think she's dirty, then let's all be dirty together.

She dared not offend those she couldn't afford to offend, but Tang Liping was not someone anyone could just step on.

After returning to the village, Song Jingzhou went to the brigade leader's house. No one knows what he said to Liu Dazhu.

Liu Dazhu did not cause any trouble for the two.

The next day, Su Qingci followed the others, carrying stools to sit under the shade of a tree to pick peanuts.

"Wow, these young people nowadays, they really know how to have fun."

"You're wrong about that. Not all young people from every place enjoy thrilling activities."

"Exactly, how could we country kids dare to do that?"

"Only cultured people from the city would dare to do this."

"Hey Tang, when are you and Zhengbao going to have your wedding banquet?"

"Then Auntie can also come and give a gift to share in the joy."

"Yes, things have already come to this point, you need to get your business done quickly."

"If my belly gets bigger later, people outside will start gossiping."

"Hehehehe, Cuihua, look at what you're saying."

"How could that simpleton Yu Zhengbao be so capable?"

"After just one more time, your belly has gotten so big?"

"Lian Shun's mother, isn't it obvious?"

"The whole brigade personally witnessed this once, so who knows how many times there have been unseen incidents?"

"If Yu Zhengbao wasn't so formidable, why would these educated youth from the city, who are known for their shrewdness, be willing to associate with him?"

"But Tang Zhiqing, you have such good taste. You chose the luckiest man in our brigade."

"That old woman Yu really treats her husband like the apple of her eye."

"Once you're married into the family, all you need to do is have children."

"There are four members of the Yu family, including the eldest and second eldest sons, inside and outside the house."

"Tch, now that you're talking about it, it sounds like it's something to be proud of."

"If something like this happened in my family, my husband would have beaten him to death long ago."

"I don't know what's wrong with the commune. They just sent them all back. I'm afraid they'll set a bad example for the children below."

"With her shamelessness, even if she really gets a stab in the stomach, who knows whose it is?"

"You all have the energy to care about others, but I advise you to take better care of your own men and sons."

"Don't let things get out of hand, or you'll end up in your house instead of the Yu family's."

"If it really comes to that, and we're sitting at the same table eating, then...tsk tsk tsk..."

While picking peanuts, Su Qingci listened intently to the gossip.

Every now and then, he would secretly peel a couple and stuff them into his mouth.

They threw peanut shells directly into the farm to destroy evidence.

I must say, these fresh peanuts have a unique flavor.

It has a refreshing and sweet taste.

Listening to the women's gossip, she finally understood why Tang Liping had developed such a gloomy demeanor in such a short time.

The other person was working calmly, as if they hadn't heard the unabashed chatter.

Even Su Qingci had to admire her "composure".

If it were her, she would definitely slap Aunt Cuihua and Aunt Liu until their faces were bruised and battered.

Although I feel a little sorry for her, I have to say, it was really satisfying to hear this gossip.

On the other side, Tang Liping, with her back to everyone, looked like a walking corpse, her face numb, mechanically going about her work.

It's like not being able to hear what everyone is saying.
