Planting area.
Jiang Linchuan rolled up his sleeves and headed towards the seedling nursery on the back hill.
Although he had a day off yesterday, the injury on his shoulder is still there.
Liu Hu stood on the ridge of the field not far away, playing with a small shovel in his hand. Looking at Jiang Linchuan's back, he sneered, "Some people are just born with a lowly fate, doing the kind of work only intellectuals do. They deserve to die from exhaustion!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was just loud enough for the people around him to hear.
Xu Xinghe was watering the plants when he heard this. He stopped, looked up at Liu Hu, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
She turned to look at Wang Lili, who was silently watering the plants beside her. "Wang Lili, don't you want to ask Liu Hu for an explanation? What does he take you for? Even if he's just playing you, you should at least figure it out yourself, right?"
Her gaze swept over the subtle glances from the other educated youths around her, and she continued, "And you'd rather suffer a loss yourself? Now that everyone knows about this, why should you be the laughingstock while Liu Hu gets to live a carefree life? He got the better deal and is even bragging about it to everyone. Can you really swallow this insult?"
Xu Xinghe knew Wang Lili's personality all too well: impulsive, narrow-minded, and unable to tolerate even the slightest grievance, let alone being played like this.
Sure enough, Wang Lili tightened her grip on the bucket, her knuckles turning white, and her eyes instantly blazed with anger.
She gritted her teeth, growing angrier the more she thought about it.
Yeah, since everyone already knows, what else does she have to be afraid of?
Why should Liu Hu be able to live a carefree life while I have to suffer injustice?
Zhao Xiaoyan sensed something was wrong and quickly tugged at Wang Lili's arm, whispering, "Lili, don't listen to Li Juan. Let's just let this go and not cause any more trouble."
But Wang Lili was no longer listening. Her initial goodwill towards Liu Hu had been replaced by anger and humiliation, leaving her with nothing but resentment.
She pushed Zhao Xiaoyan's hand away, put down the bucket, picked up the hoe next to her, and walked straight towards Liu Hu.
Liu Hu was chatting and laughing with several former educated youths when he saw Wang Lili approaching. He smiled frivolously, assuming that she had come to find him because she couldn't stand being alone.
He exchanged a knowing glance with the older educated youth, then deliberately raised his voice, "Oh, Comrade Wang Lili, is there something you need?"
Wang Lili ignored his teasing and said coldly, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Liu Hu was even more pleased with himself, thinking that Wang Lili wanted to go with him to a secluded place to do something, so he immediately followed her into the depths of the forest.
As Wang Lili walked ahead, she could clearly feel the mocking gazes of the older educated youth behind her. Those gazes felt like needles pricking her back, fueling her anger.
Xu Xinghe is right, everyone knows that!
She really was just a laughingstock for Liu Hu and his gang!
The two walked into a dense forest, a place rarely visited by people, so quiet that the only sound was the wind rustling through the leaves.
Liu Hu was about to reach out and put his arm around Wang Lili's waist when Wang Lili pushed him away.
"What are you doing?" Liu Hu immediately became impatient, his face darkening. "If you're not going to do anything for me, why did you call me here? Are you playing me for a fool?"
Looking at his impatient face, Wang Lili felt a surge of grievance and anger. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Liu Hu, you said you liked me, is that true?"
Liu Hu was taken aback for a moment, then scoffed, "Of course I like it, why wouldn't I?"
He said he liked it, but his eyes were full of insincerity.
"Then marry me!" Wang Lili suddenly raised her voice, her eyes filled with the last glimmer of hope. "We'll go to town to get our marriage certificate tomorrow. Do you dare?"
"Are you crazy?" Liu Hu's face instantly turned ugly. He thought Wang Lili was a smart person and that they could each get what they wanted from each other. Who knew that this woman would actually pester him!
Marry her?
How is that possible!
Does she deserve it?
Liu Hu was very experienced in dealing with women like this. He knew that you had to make things clear from the start. If you said things too nicely, these women would act as if they couldn't understand human language and would continue to pester you.
Although we'll lose a toy in the future, at least we'll be free of trouble.
Liu Hu, hands in his pockets, scanned Wang Lili up and down, his eyes full of contempt. "Who wants to get a marriage certificate with you? Look at yourself! You've only been in the countryside for a couple of days and you're already sleeping with a man. Who knows how many people you've been with before? I don't want to marry a woman as promiscuous as you! Besides, your family is just an ordinary family. You can't help me at all. What use would I be to you if I married you? Don't even dream about it!"
Looking at Liu Hu's face full of disgust and disdain, Wang Lili finally realized that she had been his plaything from the very beginning.
There was never any real feeling involved; it was all just wishful thinking on her part!
Overwhelmed by grief and humiliation, Wang Lili could no longer contain herself. She raised the hoe in her hand and smashed it down hard on Liu Hu's shoulder!
With a muffled thud, the hoe blade struck Liu Hu's shoulder squarely, and blood instantly seeped out, staining his coarse cloth shirt red.
"Ah!" Liu Hu let out a shrill scream, clutching his bleeding shoulder and rolling on the ground in pain.
The screams were particularly piercing in the quiet woods, and soon attracted the attention of the educated youth and villagers in the nearby planting area.
"What's going on?"
"It sounds like someone is calling. Could they be injured?"
"Let's go take a look!"
Wang Lili stood there, holding a hoe, staring at Liu Hu screaming on the ground, her eyes bloodshot.
She knew she had made a huge mistake, but she didn't regret it at all!
Why should the other person be able to live a carefree life, saying such hurtful things, and even looking down on and despising her?
Why should I become the laughingstock of those old educated youth, and be looked at with such disgusting eyes by them!
That's not fair!
Liu Hu's screams continued, and the educated youth and villagers rushed over.
The first to arrive were Zhang Guoming and several older male educated youth.
Seeing the situation on the field, they froze in place.
Liu Hu lay on the ground clutching his shoulder, blood streaming down his fingers, while Wang Lili stood to the side, holding a blood-stained hoe, her eyes filled with madness—the scene was utterly horrifying!
It's like... a murder scene!
"My God! What happened?" Zhang Guoming took a step back in fright, his voice trembling. "Why is Liu Hu bleeding? Wang Lili, what... what did you do?"
More and more people gathered around, and Xu Xinghe and Zhao Xiaoyan also rushed over.
"My God, this is... Liu Hu was chopped up by Wang Lili?"
"My God, what's going on? Why did they suddenly start attacking?"
"Wang Lili, what's going on? Say something!"
Just as everyone was discussing the matter, Wang Lili suddenly raised the hoe in her hand and shouted at the crowd, "That beast Liu Hu! He raped me in the woods! I didn't agree, so he forced me to the ground and took my virginity! I'm calling the police! I want him shot!"
