"The brigade leader is quite angry and has ordered all the educated youth to attend a meeting at the brigade headquarters tonight. Please convey this message to the female educated youth!"
Wang Lihong nodded upon hearing Lin Jianhua's words, then sighed.
"Sigh! Our reputation as educated youth is going to be ruined again! We've finally managed to get along peacefully with the village for a while, but now that this has gotten out, it'll definitely be bad for our reputation!"
Lin Jianhua also sighed. What could he do? There were always troublemakers who would trample on the reputation of the educated youth!
"Sigh! This is probably just our fate as educated youth. Let it be!"
Wang Lihong didn't know what to say anymore; it seemed pointless to say anything now! Just like Lin Jianhua said, let it be!
Lin Jianhua shook his head, feeling exhausted, and went back to his dormitory.
Wang Lihong also turned around and went back to the female educated youth dormitory. She was very angry. Everyone was there. She looked at everyone and said something that made it clear that she was being sarcastic.
"I really didn't expect some people to be so cunning! They know to go out and report, so they can't stand to see others doing well, right? Everyone knows who went out a few days ago, so it turns out they went to report, right? Now that you've admitted who went to report, we educated youth can all talk things out!"
None of the female educated youth spoke. Those who hadn't done it themselves were just watching the show, while those who had done it themselves had to remain silent. Even if they all knew that she had been released, they couldn't admit it!
Xiao Dongmei stood up, walked straight to Luo Qiuping, and stared at her intently.
"It was you, wasn't it? You went to town a few days ago, didn't you? You're not going to deny that you did it, are you?"
Luo Qiuping would never admit that she was the one who delivered the message, so she shook her head and denied it.
"I don't know what you're talking about. When did I go to town? Besides, even if I did go to town, can you be sure it was me who delivered the message? Is it someone who pretends to be on good terms with you but secretly dislikes you and that's why they delivered the message?"
Xiao Dongmei knew that Luo Qiuping would not admit it, but she was convinced that it was Luo Qiuping, but she was frustrated because she had no evidence to point to her!
Xiao Dongmei said nothing, returned to her seat, and told herself to remember this grudge and get her revenge when she had the chance! Just wait!
A female educated youth named Gu Xiaoxiao was furious. Luo Qiuping, after doing something herself, ended up dragging Gu Xiaoxiao down with her. Wasn't being close to Xiao Dongmei a way of talking about herself?
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're trying to pin your own actions on me? You're dreaming! I admit I'm close to Dongmei, but you can't say I betrayed her by reporting her to the authorities. I've always been with Dongmei; she knows where I go!"
Xiao Dongmei nodded when she heard Gu Xiaoxiao's words.
“Xiaoxiao has indeed been with me these past few days. We’ve been together whether we’re at work or eating. She even sleeps next to me at night. And Xiaoxiao has no reason to hurt me! I believe it couldn’t be Xiaoxiao!”
Luo Qiuping stroked her braids and gave a mocking smile.
"Ha! You can know a person's face but not their heart, who knows!"
Luo Qiuping's actions are a classic case of the thief crying "stop thief!" and shifting the blame eastward.
Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to argue with her.
Xiao Dongmei smiled at Gu Xiaoxiao and shook her head, meaning don't waste your breath talking to her!
Gu Xiaoxiao understood what Xiao Dongmei meant, glared at Luo Qiuping, and remained silent.
Bai Shuangxue watched them go back and forth quietly, like watching a model opera, and found it quite interesting. Ever since she decided to let go some time ago, she had been in a bad mood, and it was a rare treat to have something to do.
If it weren't for the fact that making a commotion now would be inappropriate, Bai Shuangxue would really like to grab a handful of melon seeds and crack them open! This is so much fun!
Wang Lihong specifically chose Luo Qiuping. She already knew Luo Qiuping's character, but she still chose her, hoping that Luo Qiuping would come forward and admit it. The rest would be a matter between the educated youth themselves!
It seems Luo Qiuping won't admit to reporting the news! I shouldn't have had any illusions about Luo Qiuping in the first place!
Wang Lihong was also exhausted. Whatever! Let it be! She announced it directly to everyone.
"The brigade leader wants us to go to a meeting at the brigade headquarters tonight. Everyone should take care of themselves!"
Luo Qiuping felt a moment of panic, but quickly calmed down, since no one had any evidence against her.
Lin Jianhua returned to his dormitory and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), not wanting to do anything but lie there.
Suddenly he remembered that there were still three educated youths who hadn't been notified, so he resignedly got up and went to inform them.
On the way, Lin Jianhua lamented that he was destined to worry a lot, and that no one was as unlucky as him.
Lin Jianhua went directly to Zhuang Zhimeng's house, intending to notify Zhuang first, and then Su and Jiang. He happened to run into Zhuang Zhimeng, who had just arrived at her doorstep.
Zhuang Zhimeng asked Lin Jianhua curiously.
"Captain Lin, you wanted to see me? What's up?"
Lin Jianhua nodded.
"Yes, Zhuang, I'm here to inform you that there's a meeting at the brigade headquarters tonight. All of us educated youth need to attend. Please tell Jiang and Su that I won't go to inform them separately!"
Zhuang Zhimeng was puzzled, but she still responded.
"Okay, I'll tell them!"
After Lin Jianhua saw that the matter had been communicated, he said goodbye to Zhuang Zhimeng and went back.
When Zhuang Zhimeng returned home, she was still wondering if something had happened that she didn't know about.
She and An Qingbai went to the secret base in the mountains today. The weather has been particularly hot these past few days, so they went there to cool off.
The advantages of the secret base became apparent at this point; it was really cool and refreshing.
Zhuang Zhimeng felt it for a moment, and it felt just like being in air conditioning—so comfortable.
Zhuang Zhimeng also took out two ice creams from the warehouse and gave one to An Qingbai. The two sat on the stone bench in the secret base, eating ice cream and chatting, feeling extremely comfortable!
"Brother Qingbai, how long has this cave been formed?"
