"Wife?" Ma Chunhong keenly caught the word, chuckled, and winked at Ma Hongxia, "Hongxia, your Pei Zhuo is really quick. He just said he wanted to marry the educated youth at noon, and she's his wife in the evening?"
A hint of a smile appeared on Ma Hongxia's unsightly face. "The old Pei family's ancestral graves are smoking green smoke. Pei Zhuo is lucky enough to be favored by an educated youth. We just discussed it the other day, and in three days we'll go to the county to get a marriage certificate and have a wedding banquet!"
"Everyone will come to drink!"
The villagers were all surprised. They didn't expect that just because they said a few extra words, Pei Zhuo was really going to marry the educated youth. For a moment, the middle-aged men all looked at Pei Zhuo with envy.
Marrying an educated youth, and a educated youth at that, what a bargain for that silly boy Pei Zhuo!
Upon hearing this, the old gangster Liu Xueliang in the crowd suddenly looked extremely ugly. He glared at Jiang unkindly, his hands clenched tightly.
Chen Zhijie's face suddenly darkened to the extreme. He touched his lips with his fingers and felt so painful that he almost fainted. He borrowed the help of the male educated youth beside him and stumbled to his feet. He shouted sternly: "Village chief, everyone saw it. The wounds on my face and body were all caused by this idiot!"
"I'm an educated youth sent by the state to work in the countryside. I've been in Hongqiao Village for a year. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've worked hard. Just because I'm an outsider, you're bullying me like this?!"
As one of the earliest male educated youth sent to the countryside, Shirong had considerable influence among the educated youth. He was responsible for organizing many major events. When Chen Zhijie was beaten, he stood up and said, "Village head, I know Pei Zhuo is your son, but beating someone is against the law. If you can't treat everyone equally, don't blame me for calling the police!"
"Yes! Call the police!" Chen Zhijie glared at Pei Zhuo fiercely: "I'm going to send you to a labor camp!"
"Chen Zhijie! Shirong!" Pei Aiguo's face darkened, and his sharp eyes cast a cold gaze on Chen Zhijie, "It's true that you have injuries, but everyone in the village knows that my Pei Zhuo has always been well-behaved and sensible. He wouldn't hit you for no reason. If he really did, call the police..."
Pei Aiguo sneered, his sharp eyes looking as if he could eat people: "Then I still need to figure out what you did to provoke my son!"
"Although my son has a brain injury and is stupid, he is a kind and upright person!"
"Fellow villagers, we are all elders who have watched Pei Zhuo grow up. We cannot let our family members be slandered by these educated youths!" Ma Hongxia shouted loudly.
The villagers of Hongqiao Village shared a common hatred of the enemy, not to mention that Pei Aiguo was highly respected in the village, upright and fair in his work.
Chunhong was the first to stand up and sneered, "Call the police! I'd be the first to support calling the police! Pei Zhuo never hits anyone, so why did he hit you? Chen Zhiqing, you must have been the first to start!"
"That's right! You educated youth are the ones who cause the most trouble all day long. We in Hongqiao Village have always been kind and generous. We usually don't hit people. If we do hit someone, we hit the bad guys!"
"I've always felt that this Chen Zhiqing has some shifty eyes. Let's call the police! Find out what Chen Zhiqing did behind the scenes to provoke that stupid Pei Zhuo!"
“…”
In an instant, Chen Zhijie's body suddenly froze, and the voices of discussion rang in his ears. He couldn't help but think of how he had deceived those female educated youth in the past few years, and his blood felt cold as if it was flowing back.
No, you can't call the police!
What if I call the police and they find out about these things?!
A trace of resentment flashed in Chen Zhijie's eyes, but was he just going to blame himself for this beating? This idiot really wanted to beat him to death!
Shirong didn't know what Chen Zhijie was thinking, but when he saw the unfriendly villagers looking at them with disgust on their faces, his heart skipped a beat.
