Jiang Wan couldn't eat dinner anymore, so he stood up to clear the table and planned to go to the educated youth site later.
She didn't plan to go back to the educated youth point, so she had to get her things over.
Outside, Lu Xiao walked up the mountain with a gloomy face.
She really regretted it.
It was clearly her who dragged him to the Party Secretary's place and said she wanted to marry him, and she also lived with him regardless, and took the initiative to...
Are you asking him again now?
She wants to pretend that she knows nothing and nothing happened, so that she can go back to the educated youth center and rekindle her relationship with her childhood sweetheart?
Yes, they all came from the city, were educated youth, had education and status, and were a thousand times better than him, a landlord's son with a bad background.
Lu Xiao leaned against a crooked tree and watched a slender figure walk out of the yard and head towards the educated youth site without looking back.
The dry branch in his hand broke with a "crack".
………………
Educated Youth Point
Tears welled up in Qiao Wenwan's eyes, making her look even more pitiful.
"Brother Jiaming, it's all my fault. If I hadn't fainted from my weak body, you would have been able to stop Wanwan from doing such a foolish thing..."
When she finished speaking, Qiao Wenwan covered her chest with her hands, looking heartbroken, and couldn't help coughing twice.
"Brother Jiaming, I think you should go find Wanwan and explain things to her. I think she'll listen to your explanation..."
Du Jiaming's expression was very grim. "What do you think is the point of me looking for her now? I really underestimated her. She actually dared... She really dared..."
After not coming home all night, they are alone again.
Whatever I wanted to do was done.
"Wanwan is not that kind of person," Qiao Wenwan said firmly.
"Brother Jiaming, even if others don't know Wanwan, don't you and I know it? She went there just because she couldn't stand those rumors. You know Wanwan's temper. She's just spoiled by her family and has a bad temper. In fact, she still cares about you very much. She was just angry at those people for making groundless accusations..."
"What groundless speculation? So many people saw her being rescued by that landlord's son. How could people not gossip about the two of them hugging each other, wet as hell? I told you I don't care about it, but she still... I think she's not only been spoiled by her family, but I've also been too indulgent."
Du Jiaming felt uncomfortable whenever he thought of this.
It was clearly Jiang Wanwan who did something wrong.
For a grown man like him, what's the difference between listening to those rumors and being cuckolded?
He even comforted her in return. Wasn't he doing enough?
She actually went to find that landlord's son.
When Du Jiaming thought about the possibility that the two of them might have... last night, he felt a wave of green in his head.
When Qiao Wenwan saw Du Jiaming's expression, she felt happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"My Lu Xiao did it on purpose. He saved people and even took off his vest. If he wasn't naked, would there be so much gossip? But Brother Jiaming, don't be too angry. No matter what, Wanwan would never fall for a peasant. Don't forget her status. How could Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang let her marry a bad guy?"
Mentioning Jiang Wanwan's identity, Du Jiaming's expression finally brightened. "I'm just angry that she can't tell me anything. Am I really that untrustworthy? I trust her so much."
"It's my fault, actually. If I could swim, I could have rescued Wanwan and we wouldn't be in this situation now."
Qiao Wenwan sighed, and her eyes became even redder.
Du Jiaming frowned slightly. "How can you be blamed for this? No one would have thought that a person of her age could fall into the river."
"Then... when Wanwan comes back, you will forgive her, right, Brother Jiaming?" Qiao Wenwan asked eagerly.
Du Jiaming was a little annoyed. "Of course I will forgive her, but I have to teach her a lesson this time. Otherwise, who knows what she might do in the future."
It was clearly her fault, but she still wanted to control him.
He would wait for her to come back and give her some time to relax. When she truly realized her mistake, he would forgive her.
…………
When Jiang Wanwan arrived at the educated youth site, it was time to get off work.
Because she didn't have a watch, when she got up she only felt that the sun was quite high. Looking at the groups of people on the street, she realized that she had slept a little too long.
People could be heard whispering as they passed by her.
The original owner had experienced a lot of such gazes and scrutiny during this period, which almost drove her into depression.
Jiang Wanwan didn't care and went straight to the educated youth site despite everyone's gaze.
The brigade they were in was called the Red Star Brigade. There were dozens of households in the village, and there were only nine educated youth at the educated youth point, including her, four girls and five boys.
The educated youth site was also very simple, with only three adobe houses.
There is one room for men, one room for women, and one room for cooking and storing miscellaneous items.
It's hot now, so we set up a big pot in the yard to cook.
The educated youth had returned from work and were cooking and tidying up things around a big pot in the yard, but without exception they were all talking about one topic.
"Why didn't Jiang Zhiqing go to work? Did she really marry that landlord's son?"
"I don't think so. How could she marry a peasant if she loved Du Zhiqing so much? I think she just wanted to get a reaction from Du Zhiqing and control him."
"What attitude do you want? Du Zhiqing has made it very clear that he doesn't care about the rumors outside. Now that things have come to this, what else do you want Du Zhiqing to do?"
"What can I do? Marry her. You know she went to the countryside just for Du Zhiqing. She's crazy about marrying him. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this matter and make it happen."
