So when she heard them say such things, Wenxi obviously didn't believe it. After she finished introducing herself, she sat there and listened to everyone introduce themselves casually, noticing that the male lead's good friend Lu Xiaoyun was looking at her the whole time.
Wen Xi found it strange. His sweetheart, Nie Xiulan, was also there. Why was he staring at him so openly? Was he deliberately trying to provoke Nie Xiulan and make her accept him faster?
Alright, then she'll add fuel to the fire so he can win the heart of his sweetheart sooner. Let's lock up that scumbag and bitch as soon as possible, so there won't be any more innocent victims.
So, Wen Xi rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at Lu Xiaoyun, "Comrade Lu, why are you staring at me like that? In my subconscious, only when a boy likes a girl does he look at her so infatuatedly. But we've only just met today, so what does it mean that you're looking at me so infatuatedly, Comrade Lu? It can't be that you like me, right? After all, we've only just met, so it's impossible for love at first sight to happen, right?"
Wen Xi stared straight at Lu Xiaoyun, her smile carrying a hint of provocation.
Upon hearing Wen Xi's words, everyone's gaze immediately fell on Lu Xiaoyun's face. When Nie Xiulan looked up at Wen Xi after hearing her words, she was clearly stunned for a moment, and then a deep jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Why would someone be so beautiful if they had nothing to do with it?
She's such a vixen.
"Wen, you should be more careful with what you say, young lady," Nie Xiulan thought to herself. "Shameless."
Wen Xi wasn't angry, she just smiled faintly, "Nie Zhiqing, I was asking Lu Zhiqing, not you, why are you interrupting? Is Nie Zhiqing Lu Zhiqing's spokesperson? Then I'd like to ask, what is the relationship between Nie Zhiqing and Lu Zhiqing? Are they husband and wife? Are they lovers? Or is it just that Nie Zhiqing likes Lu Zhiqing and forbids other female comrades from speaking to her, and if any other female comrade says a word to Lu Zhiqing, Nie Zhiqing will retaliate against that person?"
As Wen Xi spoke, she hugged her arms in fear, feigning a terrified expression, "I just said something to Lu Zhiqing, will Nie Zhiqing retaliate against me?"
Then Wenxi leaned on Shen Jiaojiao's shoulder and said fearfully, "Jiaojiao, what should I do? I think I've offended Nie Zhiqing by accident. What if Nie Zhiqing retaliates against me?"
Shen Jiaojiao patted Wen Xi's shoulder and said softly, "Xiao Xi, don't be afraid. If Nie Zhiqing dares to lay a hand on you, I dare to report it to the police station and go to the educated youth office to find the person in charge. I want to ask them whether we came to the countryside to support rural construction or to be retaliated against?"
Wen Xi and Shen Jiaojiao's back-and-forth banter infuriated Nie Xiulan so much that her face contorted in anger, and she almost slammed her fist on the table and stood up. It was Chu Wan'er who stood up and calmly smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, everyone was just joking. Let's eat quickly, it's cold now, the food will get cold soon."
Wen Xi was satisfied to see Nie Xiulan's distorted features and her true colors, because Nie Xiulan always appeared delicate and polite, but all of this was just a facade.
Otherwise, everyone will always think she is a good person who would not do anything to hurt anyone, but such a person can be quite cunning behind the scenes!
"Wan'er, why are you protecting them? We're all here to support rural development and contribute to the country. We should all eat and live together. Why should they get special treatment and move out? Capitalist hedonists like them should be sent to the most difficult places to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants." Seeing that the conflict was about to be resolved, Liang Zhaodi quickly stirred up a new one.
From the moment she first saw Wenxi, she felt a strong aversion and dislike for her.
Why should a money-loser wear a watch?
“Liang, you’re envious? There’s still an empty house in the village, isn’t there? If you’re envious, go and exchange it, so that when the next batch of educated youth comes and moves in, you won’t be able to exchange it even if you want to.” Wen Xi rested her chin on one hand and tapped the table lightly with the other, as if drumming on everyone’s hearts.
"What? Doesn't Liang, the educated youth, have the money to pay for it?"
“That shouldn’t be the case. I remember that everyone who signed up to go to the countryside received a resettlement allowance, and it wasn’t low; it was enough to buy a house in the village.”
"What about Liang Zhiqing's resettlement allowance? Could it all have been spent? Or is it that Liang Zhiqing was not favored at home, and her family confiscated the resettlement allowance, not giving her a single penny?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Liang Zhiqing to be so miserable. Well, I'm different. Although my parents are just an ordinary working-class family, they are very good to me. My older brother and younger brother are also very good to me. They gave me all the resettlement fees in full. I'm a restless sleeper and like to kick and punch at night. They were afraid I would hurt others, so they let me move to a different house in the village to live on my own. So, my move out is not for hedonism, but for the sake of everyone."
"Liang Zhiqing, do you understand now?" Wen Xi looked at Liang Zhaodi with a smile, raising her eyebrows provocatively.
Liang Zhaodi was so angry that her face turned green and her eyes were blazing with fire, making her look quite frightening.
People with this kind of name usually come from families that favor sons over daughters and are not favored at home. So when they see others dressed well and eating well, they feel jealous. They don't try to change their own lives or circumstances, so they seek a sense of existence from others.
"Alright, everyone, say less. We're all former educated youth sent to the countryside, so we need to stick together from now on," Zhu Jiawen stepped in to smooth things over.
Wen Xi said with a smile, "Zhu Zhiqing, since you can advise me to say less, then I hope that next time you can advise others not to wrongly accuse people. Living in your own house is hedonism, then every household in the village has its own house, does that mean everyone is a hedonist? Would you dare let the villagers hear that?"
They always meddle and try to smooth things over without ever judging right or wrong. All they do is wrong the victims. Don't they realize that doing so is aiding and abetting evil?
In her past life, she suffered a lot of injustice because they always liked to smooth things over and never truly dealt with the problems.
Just as Wenxi was about to pour the three dishes she had brought into the other dishes on the table, a commotion suddenly came from outside the educated youth compound.
"Zhu Jiawen, you shameless bastard, get out here! A grown man like you is dragging my daughter along to chop firewood for you! Look at the state of her hands! If you don't come out, I'll bring some people and tear down this whole educated youth compound. I'll even go to the police station and report you, saying you're a rich landlord who made my daughter work for you for free..."
