"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?"
"Is Zheng Fang just wishful thinking? If she wasn't, wouldn't Wang Jianshe stay in our village, marry Zheng Fang, and become an adopted son-in-law?"
Laughter erupted from all around.
There wasn't anything negative said about it.
For someone like Wang Jianshe, who gets married because of an embarrassing incident, the only way to appease the situation is to marry into Zheng Fang's family.
Anyway, he didn't have a quota to enter the city, and he didn't have an urban household registration. This was the only way for people belonging to the brigade.
There are rules for the brigade.
How could Wang Jianshe possibly marry into a family? Especially not Zheng Fang, whom he would never even consider.
But now the people who truly speak for the commune are the ones who usually manage them.
He had to play the victim, he had to take a gamble, and blame all the mistakes on Zheng Fang.

"Yes, last time you said we should all make He Zhiqing drown in a pig cage, but then the two of them fell in love, it was a free love. Isn't that what you guys are doing!"
"But since you brought it up, you have to carry it out now. We're all watching. Wang, the educated youth, doesn't like you."
"Have some self-respect, this is kind of dirty."
Wang Jianshe firmly stated, "As an educated youth, I am also a victim. Although I am a man, Zheng Fang truly harbored improper intentions towards me."
"Many people know that Zheng Fang likes me. I have no choice but to accept it."
