Si Tian herself felt disgusted, after all, her hands were covered in saliva, so she quickly went to wash them, answering Zhu Qinghao's question without even looking up as she did so.

"Oh dear, I was so angry at the time. Who told him to spew such filth? If he didn't want his mouth anymore, I might as well tear it off. It was the first time I'd ever experienced tearing someone's mouth off!"

Hearing her novel description, Zhu Qinghao even conducted an interview with great interest from the side:

"So how was the experience?"

Surprisingly, Si Tian actually tilted her head and thought about it for a moment:

"It felt pretty good, quite enjoyable. It was just that I couldn't bring myself to do it at first, but when I saw his annoying face, I completely lost that feeling."

If you hadn't stopped me, I would have ripped his mouth to shreds. Humph, a grown man going around gossiping.

At this point, she stopped washing her hands and turned to face Zhu Qinghao.

"Okay, okay, I don't think things are that simple. I knew from the beginning that it was those crazy women at the educated youth settlement who were talking nonsense. I said they were planning something big, but I didn't expect it to be such a dirty trick to ruin their reputation."

How about we go to their place tomorrow, or go now and teach them a lesson? We just got a written agreement from Chen Hui, so they're not afraid they won't admit it!

Seeing that Zhu Qinghao frowned and pondered after hearing her suggestion, remaining silent for a long time, she thought that her suggestion was not good, so she thought about it and changed her suggestion.

"Or we could go talk to the brigade leader. We can't just let them say whatever they want, can we? They'll turn white into black. Ugh, I'm so worried!"

Zhu Qing had long ago decided to take advantage of the moment to catch the educated youth red-handed and go to the educated youth settlement, but before she could think it over carefully, Si Tian became anxious.

"Don't rush, don't rush. We will definitely go to their door, but we need to go strategically, you know? Otherwise, we might get ourselves into trouble."

Although Si Tian was anxious, she also felt that there was some truth to what she was saying. After all, if they were not careful, they could become the ones who started trouble.

If someone is new to the area and repeatedly causes trouble, it will definitely leave a very bad impression on the captain and the team members.

Although she didn't really care about these things, she was going to be staying here for a long time, so it was better to avoid trouble.

But she couldn't swallow this insult. Why should they be the ones spreading rumors about them when they're doing nothing wrong?

The people at the educated youth settlement were clearly spreading malicious rumors, but who would care whether it was malicious or not once it got out? They just wanted it to be a fresh topic of conversation.

That's just how it is in the countryside; there are always people who make wild accusations and turn anything, black or white, into something yellow.

When the day comes that rumors spread everywhere, they might not even have anyone to cry to.

So Zhu Qinghao did consider the simple and brutal method Si Tian mentioned: to go directly to their door, drag them out, and beat them up.

This could completely escalate the conflict between them and the educated youth settlement, but they had no intention of having any dealings with those people at the settlement.

Therefore, whether this contradiction exists or not seems to be of little importance.

Finally, they unanimously decided to first go to the brigade leader's house to say hello, briefly explain the situation, and then try to resolve the issue at the educated youth settlement on their own. If that didn't work, they would then ask the brigade leader for help.

Without hesitation, the two made their decision and immediately set off for the brigade leader's house, without even having dinner.

When they arrived, the brigade leader's family was cooking dinner.

Neither of them tried to cover up for the people at the educated youth settlement; they told the whole story directly.

After hearing the purpose of their visit, the brigade leader and his family were quite angry, especially Tian Haiying. As a native rural woman, she knew all too well how much harm these rumors could cause to women.

"What?! How can such young children have such vicious tongues? Are they trying to kill us?!"
