Chapter 17
But he is going to move in. Although we don’t eat together, we have to use water together. The rules cannot be broken just for him.
Originally, Shen Muye had just joined and should have been assigned to fetch water and chop firewood at the end, but the people at the educated youth site were not very welcoming to him because he had a capitalist mother and sister.
Zhou Guanqing, the person in charge of the educated youth site, stood in the yard with Shen Muye and called a meeting with the educated youth who had just finished work.
When everyone saw what he was carrying, they had some vague guesses. When Zhou Guanqing said it out loud, everyone's faces turned pale, and everyone's dissatisfaction and disgust towards him were written on their faces.
But they couldn't say anything. Shen Muye was originally arranged to go to the countryside as an educated youth. He just didn't live in the educated youth site before.
It was reasonable for him to move back now, but several educated youths looked at each other, and a man wearing glasses spoke first: "If educated youth Shen moves in, do we also have to arrange for him to fetch water and chop firewood?" The man who spoke looked at Shen Muye fiercely, but Shen Muye didn't even look at him.
The others did not speak. The person who spoke just now was called Xiong Li. Originally, it was his turn to fetch water today, but now everyone was not very welcoming to Shen Muye, so no one spoke for Shen Muye.
Shen Muye has been very sensitive to the emotions around him since he was a child, so he can naturally sense the disgust and dislike of people around him.
Maybe it's because I've experienced a lot since I was a child and I've already gotten used to it.
Zhou Guanqing knew what they were thinking, but as someone who had been the head of the educated youth site for so long, how could he not see the special way that several village cadres treated Shen Muye?
"Shen Zhiqing is only here for the first day today, so he should be at the back of the queue!"
Zhou Guanqing usually has a good relationship with people. Since he has spoken, the others can't say anything even if they have complaints. However, Shen Muye has been like this since Zhou Guanqing introduced him.
He seemed to have been drained of all his energy and spirit. He was numb and looked as if his soul was wandering in the sky.
Hearing Zhou Guanqing's words, he first thanked him lightly, and then continued: "Let me fetch water first today. I didn't bring any food, so I won't eat with everyone."
After saying that, Shen Muye turned around and took his things and walked towards the bed that Zhou Guanqing had arranged for him.
Everyone was stunned. Only Xiong Li reacted and spat on the ground: "I don't know what he is so proud of. He still wants to live here? Doesn't he know who he is? He doesn't deserve it! Bah~"
Zhou Guanqing patted Xiong Li on the shoulder and said, "Alright, he's also an educated youth. You should be more careful with your words and don't affect unity."
"Zhou Zhiqing, you're just too nice. Who wants to get involved with someone like that? If it were me, I'd just go live where I'm supposed to live. How can you have the nerve to waste resources living in a educated youth camp?"
The person behind Xiong Li patted his shoulder and gestured with his chin for him to look at the door, and then he saw Shen Muye carrying two buckets and walking out without looking around.
His tall body made Xiong Li take two steps back guiltily, but when he saw Shen Muye walked away without saying anything, he began to toughen up again.
"What is he afraid of? Doesn't he know his own identity?"
The others looked at Xiong Li and said nothing. They were all very tired after work, and they didn't want to be like the village gossips who liked to talk about others behind their backs.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable about Shen Muye moving in, Zhou Guanqing was right. Shen Muye was an educated youth, and there was no problem with him living here.
Since Shen Muye passed the review and was able to go to the countryside, it meant that his identity had nothing to do with his mother's, and they went about their own business.
Xiong Li felt like a rooster that had won a battle. For the first time, everyone was on his side. Most importantly, many people were privately talking about how powerful Shen Muye was.
Especially when working, Shen Muye is also an educated youth, and he is also an educated youth. The villagers and village cadres always like to compare them.
While eating, he saw that there was only half of rice in his lunch box, and with a roll of his eyes, he started to complain:
"Why is half of my meal missing for no apparent reason? It never happened before. I wonder if some people are so dirty, even their hands are dirty, right?"
At first, no one reacted and wondered what he was doing here, until Shen Muye walked past them carrying a load of water.
Originally, Shen Muye only needed to fill the water tank, but everyone had just finished work, some were cooking, some were taking a bath, and the water tank was never full.
In the past, everyone would wash directly at the river and then come back, but today everyone tacitly took a bath directly at the educated youth site, resulting in the water tank never being full.
Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with Shen Muye through actions. Water was difficult to choose, so they usually used it sparingly, but this time they would rather pour it out.
Shen Muye has been doing this since he arrived at the educated youth point and has not stopped until now.
When everyone sat down to eat, they habitually forgot about Shen Muye, but suddenly heard Xiong Li say this, and everyone remembered that Shen Muye was still carrying water.
Everyone was a little restless. Carrying water was very tiring. One bucket weighed fifty or sixty kilograms, and Shen Muye carried it for two or three hours.
If it were them, they would have been too tired to stand up straight.
Everyone didn't hate Shen Muye to that extent. After hearing Xiong Li's words, Shao Changsheng couldn't help but stand up and say something fair: "Xiong Zhiqing, don't go too far. Shen Zhiqing didn't even stay in the kitchen. How could he steal your food?"
Everyone nodded, and seeing this, Xiong Li glanced at Shen Muye who was unmoved, and always felt that he was laughing at him.
He slammed the lunch box on the table: "Don't forget his identity, you actually speak for him?" He rushed to Shen Muye with a look of pain on his face and kicked over the wooden barrel.
The water from the two buckets spilled all over the ground and splashed onto people.
After Xiong Li did all this, he looked at Shen Muye, who was half a head taller than him. He felt a little guilty at first, but when he saw that Shen Muye just frowned, he wanted to pick up the bucket.
He suddenly became even more arrogant and kicked the bucket far away: "Bah, you capitalist, you still want to come to the village to enjoy the good life? You even stole my food! Get out of the educated youth camp and live in your shed!"
As he was about to take action, Zhou Guanqing reacted and quickly pulled Xiong Li.
Shen Muye was hit twice and just stood there in a daze, not moving at all. Xiong Li felt that he was very handsome and great today. There was nothing wrong with what he did and he looked very majestic.
Shen Muye must have been frightened by himself, so he didn't dare to fight back. He must have had problems with the information, so he didn't dare to fight back.
The evil in his heart was magnified. When Zhou Guanqing wanted to stop him, he waved him away and pointed at everyone and said, "Why, do you also think that the Z family should not be reformed, but should stay with us?" This was a serious statement. Who would dare to admit it?
Seeing that no one spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I know, you must have been led astray by this ZB family. How can you be soft-hearted towards such a person?" As he said that, he picked up the stool on the ground and threw it at Shen Muye.
Shen Muye didn't hide or avoid, but just stood there blankly. The stool hit his forehead and blood dripped down his eyebrows. Everyone was shocked.
Xiong Li also felt guilty for a moment, but since he was standing in public, he became tough and smashed the stool at Shen Muye.
"Look, he must have used money to gain connections, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to fight back? He's just guilty!"
