Bai Yajing's expression grew increasingly grim as she listened.
"So, you mean some bastard has taken a liking to my Meiling, and after pursuing her unsuccessfully, he started having wicked thoughts?"
The village chief tapped his pipe. "Well, it wasn't that he was after Liu Zhiqing, but rather her money... Luckily, Qiao Yu was on guard, but... when he rescued her, Liu Zhiqing had already drunk the drug used for breeding boars..."
Then, he beat up that guy surnamed Wang and kicked him out, and afterwards the two of them... well, you know, it's about in-laws.
Bai Yajing was a little puzzled. "Logically speaking, Meiling isn't such a careless person. Knowing that he has a problem, she wouldn't possibly drink the water he gave her."
The brigade leader wanted to curse whenever he thought about it. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Damn it, it was given to her by a female educated youth who was on good terms with her! That educated youth Wan is very vicious. She was jealous of Liu, who was beautiful and from a well-off family, and received packages every month."
This is how they got jealous. On the surface, she was best friends with Liu Zhiqing, but secretly she was dating the man surnamed Wang! The two planned to have the man surnamed Wang seduce her, but Liu Zhiqing didn't take the bait. Now they're getting impatient and plan to force the issue so that the man surnamed Wang will marry Liu Zhiqing.
Then the two of them would have a never-ending source of income! They could live a good life! Hmph, so young, yet so wicked!
The village chief shook his head and sighed, "Don't worry, I've sent both of them to your brother Kang'an's place. I guarantee those two brats will regret it! They'll both be sent to jail!"
Bai Yajing's anger flared up as she listened. If those two bastards were still in the village, she would definitely make them understand why the flowers are so different!
"Phew... Okay, I got it. I'll go check on Meiling at the educated youth settlement first."
That girl didn't tell her about such a big thing that happened, and now she's seething with anger...
Before going to the educated youth settlement, she went home first and took out all the wedding gifts she had prepared for Liu Meiling, packing them in bags. Things had come to this point, and the marriage was definitely going to happen.
When she arrived at the educated youth settlement, there were already quite a few people gathered in the courtyard.
They were all aunties, young wives, and other women who had come to watch the spectacle.
Everyone greeted her warmly as soon as they saw her return.
"Jing'er's back? Where's your grandma?"
"You didn't bring your doll back?"
Bai Yajing patiently replied to each of them, "Aunt Wang, my grandparents are old, and it's cold outside. It would be too much trouble for them to travel back and forth, so I didn't let them come back."
They miss you all so much! Hehehehe..."
"The baby is too small and too much trouble, so I didn't bring him..."
While they were chatting animatedly and happily, the atmosphere was strangely quiet among the few people sitting on the other side.
The courtyard was clearly divided, making it seem like two completely different worlds.
Bai Yajing didn't go over there. She wasn't familiar with them to begin with, and they weren't easy people to get along with. Even if there were one or two good ones, they were basically all trying to protect themselves. She understood and respected that, but she wouldn't provoke them unless absolutely necessary.
After they had finished chatting, she went into Liu Meiling's room in the backyard.
The people over there were secretly watching her. When they saw that she ignored them, some pursed their lips and looked indifferent, some fell into deep thought, and some acted as if it was none of their business. In a short time, a variety of reactions were observed among the small group of people.
As soon as Bai Yajing entered the backyard, Zhao Liang was already waiting at the gate.
"Dr. Bai, you've arrived? They're all inside, please come in!"
Bai Yajing could tell at a glance that this was someone guarding the conversation inside so as not to be disturbed by others.
She smiled and replied, "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhao."
Zhao Liang scratched his head shyly, seemed to want to say something but ultimately didn't, only shaking his head to indicate that it wasn't hard work.
Bai Yajing knew that this was his personality, so she wasn't surprised.
