"Thank you, but no thanks."
Zhou Jianming quickly looked away, his face calm as water, and rejected Xia Zhiqing's kindness in a light tone.
He is not a stupid person.
During this period of time, Xia Zhiqing had always met him frequently. If someone said that this was just a pure coincidence, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.
In his opinion, the only reasonable explanation was that the other party did it on purpose and his purpose was to get close to him.
He has always been aware of the ulterior motives and deliberate flattering behaviors of lesbians.
Unfortunately, he already had someone in his heart, so in the face of these endless attempts at kindness, he always maintained a firm attitude of rejection.
"Zhou Zhiqing, Xia Zhiqing has such good intentions, why are you always so ungrateful?"
"That's right, it's broad daylight now, and everyone is watching. No one dares to say a word against Xia Zhiqing. It's really no big deal for you to accept the bottle of water that the female comrade handed over!"
"Xia Zhiqing, please put the kettle here and find a place to rest. Leave the rest to us. We will definitely help you persuade Zhou Zhiqing."
These male educated youths in Hanshan Village usually have a good relationship with Zhou Jianming. They naturally know that Zhou Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing are childhood sweethearts.
However, from what they saw, that Liu Zhiqing always seemed to be indifferent to feelings.
So they discussed privately and felt that instead of letting Zhou Zhiqing hang himself on a tree, it would be better to consider the enthusiastic and proactive Xia Zhiqing in front of them.
"Thank you."
Xia Chan said softly with a red face, her expression full of gratitude, but there was also a bit of embarrassment and grievance in her expression.
She never thought that Zhou Jianming would be so difficult to pursue, but even so, she would never give up easily!
At this moment, other villagers who were working hard in the fields happened to see this scene, but no one said a word of ridicule about it.
After all, everyone is already exhausted from working all day, so how can they have the extra energy to talk about other people's right and wrong?
Besides, Xia Zhiqing pursued Zhou Zhiqing openly and honestly, without resorting to trickery or making trouble in secret like some people did.
As the saying goes: When a woman pursues a man, it's easy for him to succeed.
Maybe one day Xia Zhiqing's sincerity will successfully move Zhou Zhiqing, and then the two of them will get married. Wouldn't that become a story that people will talk about with relish?
In this way, wouldn’t it be a great thing for the entire village?
The reason why Weisha said such good things is because Zhou Zhiqing is so handsome!
Originally, the three brothers of the Jiang family were all very handsome. Since they were from the same village and were within the five generations of relatives, their daughter would not have any unrealistic thoughts about them.
Now, Zhou Zhiqing is not from the same village, not in the five generations of mourning, and he is a city kid. His temperament is different from that of rural kids, and he looks gentle and refined.
During this period, they would occasionally see their daughter in a daze, or trying to show her kindness to Zhou Zhiqing.
But they are not willing to do that. When it comes to husbands, rural boys are better.
Putting aside the benefits of knowing one's ins and outs, the educated youth will have to return to the city to live in the future. For rural girls, if they go to the city, they will just marry far away, and if they are bullied, they will be powerless to do anything about it!
If Xia Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing were together, wouldn't their daughter give up?
"ah--"
Suddenly, a terrified scream resounded through the sky, as if tearing the entire sky apart.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thrilling scene taking place in the golden wheat field where the female educated youth were.
Liu Zhiqing was lying on the ground in a miserable state at this moment. There was a shocking bloodstain on her originally fair and delicate neck, and just a few centimeters away from the wound, there lay an extremely sharp sickle with a cold glow.
This thrilling scene made everyone gasp and guess what had happened.
"It wasn't me! It really wasn't me!"
Wang Zhiqing, who was standing nearby, was filled with fear and anxiety. She waved her hands frantically, trying to explain things to everyone, while shouting incoherently:
"I didn't push her at all. She fell down accidentally!"
However, facing the scene before him and the suspicious eyes of the people around him, Wang Zhiqing felt that even if he opened his mouth a thousand times, it would be difficult to explain himself clearly.
She was so anxious that her face turned red and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She gestured wildly in the air with her hands, trying to make everyone believe what she said.
However, the villagers still looked at her with eyes full of doubt and accusations, as if they had already determined that it was she who pushed Liu Zhiqing to the ground.
Wang Zhiqing felt extremely aggrieved. He had done nothing wrong, but he had to suffer such injustice.
She felt that the whole world had become dim and dark, and the noise around her seemed to be getting farther and farther away, leaving only her helpless heart trembling constantly.
At this moment, she wished someone could stand up and say something fair for her, but the reality was so cruel and ruthless that no one was willing to believe her, an educated youth from outside.
"Woo woo woo~"
"Wang Zhiqing, I know you're angry with me because of the unpleasant things that happened before."
"But I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to help you bundle the wheat, but you told me to get out and pushed me."
"I never thought you would want to harm me!"
"Fellow villagers, you all saw it. It was Wang Zhiqing who pushed me, and I almost got my throat cut by a sickle. If anything were to happen to me, and the higher-ups investigated, I'm afraid the entire Hanshan Village would be disgraced, right?"
Liu Yili argued with reason, her tears still streaming down her face. The blood flowing from her neck was horrible.
"I didn't, I really didn't!"
Wang Zhiqing was so angry that her whole body was shaking. It was clearly Liu Zhiqing who came to provoke her and tried to anger her, but she ignored him. The other party grabbed her hand and fell backwards!
It was obvious that the other party had premeditatedly framed her and it had nothing to do with her!
"The captain is here, everyone make way."
The crowd parted into a path, and Jiang Jianguo appeared.
After seeing the situation, he frowned, then signaled the villagers to help Liu Zhiqing up and send him to the town clinic to bandage his wounds. Then, with his hands behind his back, he looked at Wang Zhiqing in silence...
Wang Zhiqing's heart skipped a beat, and the ominous thought became stronger...
