Chapter 20: Another bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong!

Zhou Hao...

I have never seen such a careless woman. How do you manage to eat while talking about shitting?

The other educated youths, however, quickly moved away from the two of them.

This old lady is so careless.

"Hurry up, gather."

Hearing the call for assembly, everyone put down their weapons and ran out.

There was a large courtyard not far from the educated youth site, which was also the threshing ground of the village.

Therefore, all those who can work are gathered here and assigned tasks uniformly.

The educated youth and villagers were also separated. Soon, Xu Jun came back with a small note:

"Today we are paving the land."

"Ah, aren't you pulling weeds?"

Yang Hongmei had a bitter face. She didn't like hoeing the ground. She kept hunching over. After working for half a day, her back and waist were sore. It was so uncomfortable.

"No, the village chief told us to work hard. After we finish hoeing the corn this time, we will need some corn in a few days. Now, go get the stuff."

Xu Jun usually doesn't talk much, and after work he doesn't chat like other educated youth. He likes reading, and when he has nothing to do, he reads a book with great interest.

"All right."

Although people don't want to do it, they can't refuse.

Otherwise, you will be accused of having negative thoughts and will never be allowed to return to the city in your lifetime.

After all, people like Zhou Hao who have connections are a minority.

"That's not right. We are all going to hoe the land, so what about Xia Liang?"

Yang Hongmei looked everywhere for Xia Liang, but there was no sign of her. She had left last night and had not returned.

"Yeah, where's Xia Liang? She took a break yesterday. She won't take a break today, will she?"

The villagers had already left, leaving only a few educated youths chattering. Yang Aiguo came over and asked sullenly, "Why don't you get back to work?"

"Village Chief, where is Xia Liang? Is she going to rest today?"

Yang Hongmei, who has never liked making a fuss, is particularly active today.

"Xia Liang, the educated youth, has other things to do." The village chief didn't want to explain.

"What's the matter? She had already taken a day off yesterday. Can we educated youth take two days off a month?"

Li Xue stopped doing it.

"Xia Liang has more important things to do. She won't be working with you guys for the next half month."

"Okay, get to work, or everyone will have their work points deducted today."

Yang Aiguo looked serious, but his words were like a thunderbolt, which stunned everyone at the scene.

What does that mean? No need to go to work for half a month? Is Xia Liang going to die? If she doesn't go to work, she won't get any work points, and she won't get any food. Is she going to eat for free at the educated youth camp?

Li Xue said angrily:

"On what basis? Xia Liang just stayed at your house for one night and didn't have to go to work. Village chief, you wouldn't have slept with her, would you? Xia Liang is really unscrupulous. In order to avoid working..."

Before Li Xue could finish her words, there was a loud slap and she was slapped in the face.

"What are you talking about, you little bitch?"

I don't know when, the village head's wife Li Xiujuan came over. After hearing what Li Xue said, she was so angry that her eyes were blazing with fire. She slapped Li Xue with all her strength and said angrily:

"Xia Liang has more important things to do. Yesterday she slept with my daughter Xiaohong. Li Xue, you are an educated educated youth, right? Why is your mouth so foul? Your thoughts are so dirty? Are you coveting my Patriot?"

Li Xiujuan stared at Li Xue with her sharp eyes. Li Xue was rude to the educated youth, but she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the village head's wife, who had a sharp tongue.

She knew that if she refuted it, the news of her failed attempt to seduce the village chief might spread throughout the village before noon.

"I...Auntie, I just..."

"Okay, let's get to work."

Yang Aiguo waved his hands, looking impatient.

Although a few educated youth were unwilling to do so, they finally had no choice but to pick up hoes and do the work.

When they were leaving, Xia Jing was the last one to leave. She asked pitifully:

"Uncle Yang, my face hurts today. Can I rest for one more day?"

When she spoke, her eyes were watery and pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Does your face hurt?"

Before Yang Aiguo could say anything, Li Xiujuan sneered, "Did you use your face to shovel it?"

Puff... I don't know who laughed out loud, but several educated youths not far away were holding back their laughter.

"I……"

Xia Jing felt even more aggrieved. She had never met such an unreasonable woman.

"Ahem, ahem, Xia Jing, you educated youth, you dig the ground with your hands, not your face."

Yang Aiguo spoke seriously, but for some reason, the trembling corners of his mouth made people want to laugh.

Xia Jing knew it was impossible to rest, so she could only go out reluctantly.

"Xia Liang is really lucky."

"That's right. Who would have thought that in just one night, I could be so close to the village chief."

"I'm really lucky."

The places where the educated youth worked were all connected, and everyone was very jealous, but unfortunately there was nothing they could do.

Everyone was more curious about what Xia Liang had done. Did he get any work points today?

No one paid attention to Xia Jing today. She wanted to go to the field, but Xia's mother came to Zhou Hao and asked in a low voice:

"Have you asked your family? When are you getting married?"

Mother Xia was too close to him, and it was unknown how long it had been since she had brushed her teeth. The sour smell from her mouth, coupled with the spit from her mouth, almost made Zhou Hao spit out the biscuit he had eaten in the morning.

He tilted his head, took two steps back, and distanced himself from Mother Xia:

"Aunt, my mother will come over tomorrow at the latest."

"Is your mother coming over?"

Mother Xia's eyes lit up. What did this mean? People valued her daughter. If not, why would the mother-in-law come here in person?

“That’s a good feeling.”

Mother Xia left happily and went to share her good news with Xia Jing.

Xia Jing was also very happy when she found out. She secretly looked at Zhou Hao, but saw him lowering his head, bending his waist, and working seriously.

Green wheat with ears of wheat and a tall and handsome man. It would be great to marry him.

Zhou Hao's family has connections, so if they get married, they should be able to return to the city soon.

As for Xia Liang, it would be best if you stayed in this little valley for the rest of your life and never go back!

Xia Jing's eyes turned cold. She hated Xia Liang for what happened yesterday. Everything she had endured was for Xia Liang.

If it wasn't for Xia Liang, how could she be beaten? How could she become infamous?

As long as she is sure that Zhou Hao is fine, she will definitely find a way to trap Xia Liang in this remote mountain valley forever.

Humph, Xia Liang was lucky enough to escape once, she didn't believe she could be so lucky every time.

Xia Jing didn't know how to do farm work, and she wasn't very fast. Today, Xia Liang didn't come, so there was no one to help her. She also felt uncomfortable on her face, so she couldn't do much.

"Mom, can you help me?"

Xia Jing has never been a person who can do physical work, whether she was at home or later went to the countryside, but she is very eloquent. She looked at Xia's mother for help.
