When Aunt Chrysanthemum saw them asking questions back and forth, she thought something had happened and asked them worriedly what was wrong.
The two smiled knowingly and said, "Aunt Juhua, someone tricked me yesterday by saying that Comrade Li Weidong was looking for me. I felt something was wrong, so I came over this morning to ask Qiuzhen what was going on."
"Why did Wei Dong come to see you so late at night? What's he up to?"
“He came to see me once yesterday during the day and said he had gotten a job for the village and asked if I could do it. I went with him to see the village head. I don’t know which scoundrel asked me to go out late at night. I’m a girl, and I didn’t dare to go out. I went to see Li Weidong early this morning, but he said he didn’t have it. That’s why I came to ask Qiuzhen.”
Aunt Chrysanthemum immediately recognized the voice. Who was this bastard trying to cause trouble? She quickly pulled her youngest daughter aside and asked what was going on.
Unfortunately, Qiu Zhen only knew that someone told her about it and gave her candy, but she couldn't remember who it was.
It would be strange if he could remember anything after Chen Qing used the system's medicine on him.
“Aunt Juhua, Qiuzhen is still young. If she doesn’t remember, she doesn’t remember. It’s not a big deal. We’re about to start work. Su and I will go to the brigade leader’s house to ask Zhang for leave.”
"Hey, don't go yet."
Aunt Juhua quickly stopped them and whispered, "Last night, Captain Chen's family and Zhang Lao Er's family had a fight, it was around midnight."
Xue Zhenzhen and He Wan exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Aunt Juhua, do you know why?"
Aunt Juhua was about to speak, but then she remembered that the two of them were still young girls, so she stopped and changed her words, saying, "In any case, you shouldn't go for the next couple of days. If you need to ask for leave, go find the Party Secretary."
He Wan smiled and agreed. The two of them didn't ask any more questions and left Aunt Juhua's house.
The two even deliberately turned towards the brigade leader's house, wanting to pass by and take a look.
As the two approached the captain's house, they saw Zhang Aimin's eldest brother and Deputy Captain Zhang emerge from Captain Chen's house with somber expressions.
After standing there for a while, I noticed that all of Captain Chen's neighbors, around him and on all sides, were standing at their doorways with bowls of rice in their hands, peering outside.
They both seemed quite gossipy. As the two slowly walked towards Captain Chen's house, they heard arguing coming from inside.
The two didn't dare linger and hurried to the Party Secretary's house. But as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the Party Secretary's wife complaining in the yard: "What are you doing going there at this time? The two families are still discussing things, and you're the one who's showing off."
“I’m the Party Secretary. If I don’t care, who will? Besides, this concerns the atmosphere of the whole village. We can’t let people slap us and spread rumors throughout the village. If you ask me, we should hurry up and arrange the marriage.”
Upon hearing this, the two dared not go in and quickly ran away hand in hand.
After they had run a distance, He Wan belatedly realized, "Chen Lemin also caught it last night. What does the Party Secretary mean by that? Could it be...?"
Xue Zhenzhen naturally understood what she meant. Seeing that no one was around, she whispered to her, "I had a fight with Zhang Aiying after I went out last night."
"Oh, you got into a fight with her?"
"Hmph, I can't stand the Zhang family, so I went to the commune to report them several times in the past few months, but I didn't get any response. So I went to the county town, but unfortunately, the county town didn't do anything either."
I had nowhere to complain and was filled with resentment, so I had to take it out on the Zhang family. Yesterday morning, I was in the field when I overheard Zhang Aiying talking to one of her friends. She said she had a crush on Chen Lemin and was currently tutoring his younger sister, going to her house every day and not returning home until very late. I got angry when I heard that.
So as soon as it got dark, I went to stand guard outside the brigade leader's house.
"Then you waited for her to come out and got into a fight with her."
"Of course, I scratched her face and gave her a good scolding. I was determined to ruin her marriage with her brother."
However, I didn't really notice Chen Lemin going out at that time.
He Wan chuckled: "Chen Lemin and Zhang Aiying should have gotten together last night. Things are going quite well."
"What's so great about her? Someone like Zhang Aiying, so arrogant and proud, actually wants to be with a fine young man? Pah!"
He Wan took her arm and laughed, "Chen Lemin isn't necessarily a good person either."
