Chapter 116 Private Handling
In the crowd, Tong Xiaojun spat and said, "Hey, I never expected that Xia Zhiqing, who usually acts like a proud little peacock, would be so cunning behind the scenes! If I had known, I would have gone and slept with her too!"
Some people sympathized with Xu Yirou: "Poor Xu, the educated youth, was forced to give up her room and bed so that Xia Yi could seduce men. If it weren't for Aunt Gu taking her in, she probably wouldn't even have a place to sleep at night."
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I didn't..." Seeing that things were getting out of control, Xia Yi looked at Xu Yirou with a fierce but weak expression: "Xu Yirou, you quickly explain to them, that's not how it is at all..."
Xu Yirou took a step back, avoiding her hand: "Isn't it clear what happened? If you don't approve of Tong Yaozu, you can go directly to the police. I believe the police will investigate the matter thoroughly."
Upon hearing that Xu Yirou was going to report to the police, Xia Yi hesitated.
If the police come and find out that I was the one who planned to send Xu Yirou to Tong Yaozu's bed, wouldn't I also have to go to a labor camp?
Xia Yi's silence directly confirmed the fact that she and Tong Yaozu had met in secret.
Tong Liqun tapped his empty pipe on the sole of his shoe, emptied the ash, and said, "Now that things are cleared up, everyone should go back and rest! Yaozu, since you slept with Xia Zhiqing, even though it was Xia Zhiqing who took the initiative, you are still a man, and you can't shirk your responsibilities..."
Tong Liqun actually believed Xia Yi's words.
Tong Liqun already knew that Tong Yaozu had taken a liking to Xu Yirou and had always wanted to marry her, but had been rejected.
However, Xia Yi herself dared not explain the real reason behind the matter.
It can only be said that Xia Yi wanted to harm Xu Yirou, but accidentally got herself involved.
For Tong Liqun, being able to resolve this matter privately now is the best possible outcome.
After all, in their village recently, Hou San, Xie Manman, and Yang Junqing have all been arrested and sent to labor camps.
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to face anyone at the next meeting in town.
Upon hearing Tong Liqun's words, Xia Yi jumped up in fright and exclaimed, "I don't want to! I don't want to marry Tong Yaozu! I absolutely don't want to marry him!"
Tong Yaozu snorted coldly: "If you don't want to marry me, I'm not willing to marry you either! If the Party Secretary hadn't spoken up, do you think I would want to take responsibility?"
Tong Yaozu is a reckless scoundrel, but he's not stupid. Now that the whole village knows he slept with Xia Yi, if he doesn't marry her, he'll probably be charged with hooliganism and shot.
Xia Yi's face turned deathly pale with anger.
She's not stupid; she knows perfectly well that Tong Yaozu doesn't want to marry her at all.
But does she really want to get married?
Even a fool could tell that if she married Tong Yaozu, she would definitely suffer the consequences.
"Give up! I will never marry you." Xia Yi said, looking at Zheng Haiyang.
When Zheng Haiyang saw Xia Yi looking at him with hopeful and pleading eyes, he felt as if he were being burned by her gaze and quickly looked away.
The scene of Xia Yi being pinned down by Tong Yaozu kept replaying in his mind: when he and Liu Xian opened Xu Yirou's door.
Xia Yi has already slept with Tong Yaozu...
Zheng Haiyang was filled with anger and resentment.
You know, he and Xia Yi were classmates, and she was the girl he had been waiting for for several years.
It finally grew to maturity and was ready to be harvested, but Tong Yaozu picked it.
How could he possibly swallow this insult?
But what can you do if you can't swallow it?
These mixed feelings caused Zheng Haiyang's feelings for Xia Yi to change.
dislike……
That's one of them.
Xia Yi clearly saw the hint of disdain in his eyes.
Suddenly, I felt a chill all over my body, and I staggered, almost fainting.
Zheng Haiyang, he...
Dislike her?!
Is it because she was forced to sleep with Tong Yaozu?
"Fine! If you don't want to marry me, I don't want to marry you either!" Tong Yaozu saw their little actions and smiled mockingly.
Xia Yi must have some serious illness; does she really think she's someone special?
Someone like her, if he married her, he'd be afraid she'd cheat on him!
If she doesn't want to marry, that's fine!
"Xia Yi, you're really unwilling to marry Yaozu?"
Tong Liqun frowned and asked, then angrily lit his old pipe again.
It wasn't that he was really that kind-hearted and wanted to help Xia Yi handle the aftermath.
I'm really worried that we won't resolve this issue today.
Then these educated youths took the matter to the police station.
At that point, it won't be something that I, as the Party Secretary, can handle.
"I..." Xia Yi wanted to speak without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xian suddenly ran out, grabbed her, and said to Tong Liqun, "Secretary Tong, Xia Yi is quite emotional right now, and it's getting late. Why don't we let everyone rest first, and talk about everything tomorrow, okay?"
Xia Yi didn't understand why Liu Xian wanted to stop her at this time.
However, she had gotten used to it and would listen to Liu Xian's ideas in everything.
He didn't say anything more at that moment.
Seeing their reaction, Tong Liqun nodded and said, "In that case, everyone should go home and rest!"
Hearing Tong Liqun say this, everyone still felt they hadn't had enough of the show.
But they all obediently scattered in all directions to avoid incurring Secretary Tong's wrath.
After all, the incident involving Xie Manman and Yang Junqing just happened not long ago.
Now that this has happened, Secretary Tong is probably seething with anger right now!
Nobody wants to be the target of Secretary Tong's wrath.
Before long, everyone dispersed.
Only Gu's father and mother, and Xu Yirou, who stood silently to the side, remained at the educated youth settlement.
Tong Liqun glanced at Xu Yirou, and although he didn't want to talk to her, he still said, "Xu Zhiqing, everything has been taken care of. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on Yaozu."
Xu Yirou nodded, understanding that Tong Liqun was making a promise to her.
As the Party Secretary of Bakushu Village, he naturally didn't want the matter to escalate to the town's police station.
He nodded immediately: "Thank you, Secretary Tong."
Gu's mother glanced at Xu Yirou, thinking of how her lips had turned purple from the cold, and looked at the messy room. She sighed and said, "Xu Zhiqing, why don't you stay at my place tonight? We can clean up this room tomorrow during the day!"
