Xu Xiangfeng had not intended to ask any more questions, but seeing Lin Meng's thoughtful expression, he couldn't help but ask:
"What's the relationship between Comrade Lin and Zhou Zhiqing? Why do I feel like the people in your team don't like Zhou Zhiqing?"
To be honest, Lin Meng doesn't like Zhou Manman either.
He's just an ordinary educated young man, I don't know why he's so arrogant all day long.
Lin Ran is the heroine, but she is not as arrogant and showy as her.
Wait a minute, although Zhou Manman has a bad personality, she is still pretty and belongs to the bright and beautiful type.
Could it be that Xu Xiangfeng has taken a fancy to her?
That won’t do!
As a good citizen, how could she watch the soldier fall into the fire pit!
He immediately curled his lips in disgust.
"Comrade Xu, to be honest, maybe not only the people in our brigade, but also all the educated youth with her don't like her."
"Because of jealousy?"
What the hell?
Lin Meng's face almost twisted when she heard this, and she glanced at Xu Xiangfeng in disbelief.
I finally understood what it looked like to have that look of clear stupidity in it.
He is indeed worthy of being called a straight soldier.
Xu Xiangfeng felt very uncomfortable with Lin Meng's gaze. He subconsciously touched his nose with a confused look in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"
"This must have been what Zhou Zhiqing told you, right?"
Although she had only known Xu Xiangfeng for less than two hours, she could guarantee that with his personality, he would not have such thoughts.
The only possibility is that Zhou Manman is just trying to flatter herself.
So she spoke with confidence at this moment.
Sure enough, Xu Xiangfeng fell silent and avoided Lin Meng's sight.
But silence meant consent, so Lin Ran sneered and spoke.
"Of course, it's possible that I'm jealous of her good living conditions."
"After all, she eats rice, white flour, canned meat, and even her snacks are imported chocolate and various fruits. I think it would be hard for anyone not to be jealous, right?"
"Especially in the countryside where even eating meat is a luxury."
Xu's mother beside him exclaimed in amazement:
"My God, this standard of living is so good! Even our county town can't compare."
Director Xu's expression had turned serious.
In his opinion, this kind of extravagant lifestyle is totally unacceptable.
However, Xu Xiangfeng's focus was not on this. He asked anxiously:
"If it's not jealousy, then why don't you like her?"
He now realized that Zhou Manman's later explanation might have been a lie.
Because what Lin Meng just said was similar to what Lin Ran and the others said in the department store.
It can be seen that these should be the facts, but Zhou Manman refused to admit it and insisted that others were jealous of her and deliberately slandered her.
Lin Meng's goal was to prevent Xu Xiangfeng from being fooled, so naturally she would not cover up Zhou Manman's shame and would directly expose all her past.
"Who would like an educated youth who just slacks off all day, looks down on others, and stirs up trouble everywhere?"
"And she almost ruined the morale of our team."
"As a lesbian, it's fine if you like other gay men, but it's fine if you hang around them all day. Why do you treat all the young lesbians in the team as public enemies? If anyone dares to get close to that gay man, she'll go crazy and even get physical."
"Take today's example, she threw a tantrum in the car, and in the end, everyone had no choice but to kick her out of the car before it could move on."
Xu Xiangfeng was stunned when he heard this.
Is this still the confident and outspoken Zhou Manman he saw today?
"Is this true?"
He was originally wondering why everyone in the car just watched Zhou Manman being kicked off the car. If this was the case, then it would make sense.
Lin Meng thought Xu Xiangfeng didn't believe it, and immediately became anxious, wanting to swear and prove himself.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, go ask the others in our team. If I tell even one lie, I'll punish myself by not eating meat for the rest of my life."
The three members of the Xu family all looked at the vegetable and meatball soup, which had not even a drop of soup left. Hmm...
The oath was so strong that it was hard for them not to believe it.
Because of this, Xu Xiangfeng became even more certain that Zhou Manman had lied to him. He became extremely depressed for a moment, with his head hung, not saying a word.
Seeing this, Lin Meng quickly shut up. Was she going to hit the soldier too hard?
She smiled awkwardly at Xu's father and mother, wanting to say something to make amends, after all, she was counting on them to take her in tonight.
I thought that Mr. and Mrs. Xu might have some opinions about me, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu patted my hands in an extremely kind and gentle manner, and asked me if I was full. She still had a bag of peach cakes.
The smile on his face was much more sincere than the superficial politeness he had shown before.
What is going on?
In fact, if even Lin Meng could guess it, how could Xu's mother not notice anything unusual?
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. As soon as Xu Xiangfeng mentioned Zhou Manman, she could feel that her son had some affection for the female educated youth.
It was probably because they had just met, so even Xu Xiangfeng himself didn't notice it.
In fact, it was not that she wanted to interfere in her son's lifelong affairs, but based on what Lin Meng said, she would never agree to her son finding such a lesbian to bring shame to the family.
So at this time she was naturally very grateful to Lin Meng. Thanks to Lin Meng's reminder, her son was able to recognize the other person's character in advance and withdraw early.
If you wait until your son is completely stuck in the mud, it will be too late to regret!
Lin Meng certainly didn't know what Xu's mother was thinking. Her mind was full of the peach cakes that Xu's mother had just mentioned, and she swallowed subconsciously.
She wanted to eat it so badly. You know, ever since she entered the book, she had been eating nothing but sweet potato porridge every day, and she couldn't even feel full after eating the porridge.
Occasionally, if you are lucky, you can pick some wild fruits to satisfy your cravings.
But she still had some shame. Although she really wanted to eat it, she had just eaten so much other people's food. How could she have the nerve to eat other people's peach cakes now?
Just when she was struggling to decide whether to refuse, Xu's mother had already seen through her thoughts. Amusement flashed in her eyes, and she stopped asking her questions and got up to go into the house to get it.
Before, she was worried that Lin Meng might have some intentions towards her son, but now it seems that she was really overthinking it.
Apart from being a little greedy, he was a nice person who was willing to eat a little.
At this time, Lin Meng had no idea that she had single-handedly changed the plot of the book next door to the point that even her own mother didn't recognize it.
So when He Xiaoyue saw the following plot, she fell into deep doubt. Was she sure she had traveled through a book?
…
The next day, morning.
The Lin family was working in the fields when they heard a child shouting on the edge of the field:
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, your relatives from the city are coming over, you should go back quickly!"
"What city relatives?"
Shen Wenfang, who was digging the ground, was a little puzzled when he heard this, but he still said hello to others, put down the shovel, wiped his hands on his trouser legs, and prepared to go back and take a look.
