If we can't unite and stick together against external forces, who knows how we'll be bullied!
Therefore, what happened to He Xiaolan cannot be let off so easily.
So one by one, they all wanted to find out the truth of the matter first.
Then they sought the help of Gu Chengde, the relatively fair brigade leader, and Wang Qing, the secretary, to make the decision for them.
"He Zhiqing, who tricked you? Tell us, and we'll definitely get justice for you!"
"Yes, although we are outsiders, I suppose the brigade leader and secretary can't be too protective of the people in the brigade."
"Don't be afraid to tell the truth. With us here, we will definitely not let you be bullied."
They were very clear about their plans, even if they didn't like He Xiaolan.
They couldn't just stand by and watch her being bullied by the people in the brigade, and remain indifferent.
If they hadn't shown up this time, wouldn't they have been seen as easy targets?
From now on, anyone can climb over them and embarrass them.
If things were really as they thought, He Xiaolan might even be moved by their words.
But in reality, she only felt embarrassed!
He left only one sentence: "I wasn't bullied by anyone, so don't overthink it."
She then went straight to her room to tidy herself up.
The group of educated youth and Lin Siqi and Shen Muling were left speechless.
He Xiaolan didn't want to talk about it, but there were still people in the know, weren't there?
Let them ask someone else.
So Zhuang Xue, wanting to know the truth, passed the question to Lin Siqi:
"Siqi, what's going on with He Zhiqing?"
Lin Siqi looked at the inquisitive crowd and her lips twitched involuntarily.
They all thought He Xiaolan had been bullied and were determined to help her get justice.
She didn't know whether she should tell the truth or not.
However, judging from their persistent appearance, they wouldn't give up.
She spoke the truth in a voice that He Xiaolan couldn't hear:
"She just accidentally stepped into a hole and fell down."
These words truly surprised Wei Sheng, Zhuang Xue, and the others.
The group looked at each other, relieved, but remained silent for a long time.
The main reason is that no one expected that walking back from the fields would result in them falling and getting hurt.
I admire you to the extreme; I have no words to say what you have to say.
One by one, they all turned to look at the girls' dormitory, without any difference.
He unilaterally expressed his admiration for He Xiaolan.
Their lunch afterwards was also spent in a strange atmosphere.
Seeing this, He Xiaolan knew that these people already knew the truth.
Even though I'm a grown adult, it's still a bit embarrassing that I can fall down on flat ground.
Fortunately, none of the educated youth expressed any opinion on this, so she forced herself to forget about it.
After watching He Xiaolan's lively performance, Shen Muning saw that they had all gone to eat.
She also brought out the stove that she had placed in the space, which was still burning.
Set up a pot full of water, pretending to cook rice, and stir it every now and then.
In reality, they had already been eating the meal they had prepared the night before in their own room.
After resting, the group of educated youth returned to the rice paddies and worked up a sweat.
Before this, He Xiaolan inevitably started making a scene.
Seeing Lin Siqi and Shen Muling chatting and laughing as they headed to the fields together.
She greeted him warmly, "Siqi, it's getting late, let's go!"
It was as if their relationship had returned to what it was like when they were in school, going to and from school together.
Although Lin Siqi was unwilling, she thought that keeping her around would be useful.
Only by giving her the opportunity to get close to him and frame him.
Only then could she follow the clues and find the mastermind behind the Lin family's downfall.
Therefore, even though she was disgusted, she still agreed:
"Yes, it's getting late, we need to hurry up and get going."
He grabbed Shen Mu Ning's hand and pulled her out of the courtyard first.
Unaccustomed to being so close to people, Shen Mu Ning subtly withdrew her hand.
He walked shoulder to shoulder with her, striding forward.
He Xiaolan noticed that although Lin Siqi responded to her, she still left with someone else first.
I've just left myself hanging here.
He cursed inwardly in anger, and his face contorted in anger.
But thinking of her cherished wish to return to the city, she could only suppress her anger.
Calm yourself down and adjust your facial expression.
I quickened my pace and caught up with the two of them.
The educated youth who witnessed He Xiaolan's rapid change of expression felt a chill run down their spines and their bodies trembled.
They used to say they didn't want to associate with her because she was brainless.
From then on, everyone was terrified and had no desire to get close to her.
After that, the educated youth treated He Xiaolan with official business.
No one wanted to, and no one dared to, have any private relationship with her.
Everyone is afraid of people who are kind to them on the surface but are actually malicious at heart.
Even Hu Meiling, who considered herself quite shrewd, didn't dare to outwit her.
After all, she really couldn't do what she did, saying one thing to someone's face and another behind their back.
After raising his guard against He Xiaolan even further, he followed in their footsteps.
I really don't understand what those three are up to.
After all, in their eyes, Lin Siqi was a person who was both beautiful and intelligent.
She must know He Xiaolan's character well, so why did she get involved?
Furthermore, how can He Xiaolan keep up with Shen Mu Ning's pace?
Everyone was puzzled, but no one asked any questions.
They must all have their own reasons, so why should they interfere?
With their own thoughts in mind, the group arrived at the fields.
Not to mention that He Xiaolan clung to Lin Siqi and Shen Muling for several days afterward.
It will be good to find an opportunity to implement your plans.
The autumn harvest in Xinshan Brigade is in full swing.
Take Sun Wu and Yan Bin for example. Ever since Shen Mu Ning dug up the people behind the antique resale business, they've been dealing in these things.
The men they sent first put the person under surveillance.
They secretly searched for evidence of their involvement in the trafficking of cultural relics.
They didn't seem to intend to arrest him right away.
After all, they had a powerful provincial party secretary-general above them—Shi Zhixin.
They haven't found him yet; he's the mastermind behind the trafficking of cultural relics.
The testimony obtained solely from Xin Chi after Shen Mu Ning hypnotized him.
That's not enough to bring him down from his high position.
If they act rashly and alert the enemy, that would be bad.
Therefore, Sun Wu and Yan Bin had no choice but to block the news and investigate secretly first.
Ideally, we should find evidence that Shi Zhixin and Xin Chi colluded to traffic in cultural relics.
Of course, it would be even better if the stolen money could be found.
After all, judging from the embezzled funds they seized and the results of Shen Mu Ning's interrogation.
Over the past few years, their business has been incredibly profitable.
The money they received was no small sum.
If Shi Zhixin hid it, that would be fine, but if not a single penny was found, then... that would be a bit scary.
