"Gu Zhiqing!"
Ye Qing and his two companions had just entered the village and were about to walk towards the educated youth point when they ran into Gu Wenqing who was also walking towards the educated youth point. There were about five or six people walking in groups of three or four on the road at this time. When they heard Ye Qing calling Gu Wenqing, they all looked over curiously.
When Gu Wenqing heard Ye Qing calling him, he turned his head and looked over, "Qing...Comrade Ye, what's the matter?"
Ye Qing raised a kind smile and took two steps forward. "It's like this, Gu Zhiqing. My family has been spending a lot of money recently, so I wanted to ask if you could pay me back first? You said you would pay me back a few days ago, but I waited for several days and you didn't come to pay me back. Are you too busy to remember?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people around him instantly became more gossipy, and their eyes kept turning between Ye Qing and Gu Wenqing. Gu Wenqing felt a little embarrassed when he saw the looks people were giving him, and he knew Ye Qing was doing it on purpose.
"I'm sorry, I was really busy these days and forgot about it."
With so many people watching, he couldn't cheat even if he wanted to. After all, he still had to live in this village and couldn't get a reputation for not paying back his debts.
"What favor did you forget? I see you just don't want to pay it back!"
Shitou couldn't stand his hypocritical appearance, and although he said it in a mumble, he made sure that everyone present could hear it.
"You! What right do you have to slander me!"
Gu Wenqing also has a temper. He and Shitou are not familiar with each other, but Shitou said this to him, so he must be angry.
Shitou sneered, crossed his arms, and looked at him relentlessly, "How can you be busy 24 hours a day? Everyone knows that you, an educated youth from the city, only earn five work points a day, and you are not as capable as a seven or eight-year-old child. You are a man!
What are you busy with?
"What's it got to do with you? Who are you and what qualifications do you have to say that to me?"
"Why is it none of my business? Sister Qingqing is my second sister's younger sister, which means she is my sister. You owe my sister money, so can't I, as her younger brother, stand up for her?"
Shitou is a stubborn guy, but he knows exactly what to say in different situations. He knows the gossips of these people in the village very well, so he will naturally not let Ye Qing be in the spotlight.
Ye Qing naturally wouldn't stop someone from standing up for her. She felt happy when she saw Gu Wenqing being humiliated.
"Qingqing, why would Gu Zhiqing lend you money?"
Some people only care about satisfying their own curiosity and never know what "sense of boundaries" is, just like the woman who is speaking now.
Ye Qing looked at her and smiled. "Before, Gu Zhiqing was sick and had no money to see a doctor or buy medicine. I happened to have some money so I lent it to him for emergency use. People left their hometown to come to our countryside to support rural construction. We can't just stand by and watch them die, right?"
Whenever a man and a woman are involved, people's curiosity will be infinitely magnified. They were more or less disappointed when they heard Ye Qing's explanation.
The woman also smiled and nodded, "You're right, we all live in the same village, so we'll help if we can."
"Gu Zhiqing, Qingqing's family is in financial difficulty and needs money urgently. If you have money, please pay it back quickly. It's not easy for any family."
"Yes, a penny can make a hero fall. Without money, you can't do anything!"
Everyone seemed to have determined that Gu Wenqing didn't want to pay back the money. Although this was true, Gu Wenqing still felt very aggrieved and resented Ye Qing even more. She had spent the money voluntarily, and she didn't borrow it. Now she turned her back on me and asked me for money again! I was living a tight life every day, so how could I be willing to give her money? But now it seemed impossible not to pay it back.
Gu Wenqing gritted his teeth and glared at Shi Tou fiercely, intending to go back to get the money. However, when Shi Tou saw that he dared to glare at him, the anger in his heart suddenly surged up. He was already very sad because of the breakup today, and now he had a punching bag right at his doorstep.
"Why are you staring at me? Believe it or not, I will dig your eyeballs out!"
Shitou took two steps forward and grabbed Gu Wenqing by the collar. Although Gu Wenqing was three years older than Shitou, he was not as tall as Shitou, nor as tough as Shitou. Seeing Shitou's look as if he wanted to eat him, he immediately backed off and said, "You can't hit me, I'm an educated youth!"
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the fist was about to fall, Ye Qing quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, "Shi Tou, let go!"
It would be fine if he just cursed a few times, but Ye Qing would never let Shitou really beat someone up for him. If Gu Wenqing refused to give in, Shitou would be in trouble, and he would feel bad about it, after all, he was standing up for himself.
"He deserves a beating!"
Shitou stuck his neck out and looked unhappy.
Shi Chunmiao stepped forward and slapped him on the back, "Can you calm down? You're just waving your fist!"
She was also frightened just now, fortunately Ye Qing stopped her in time. Although she also disliked Gu Wenqing, he was from the city after all, so it would be better for her not to have any conflicts with him.
Just as Shitou was about to say something, he was interrupted by a scream.
"Stinky Stone! Let go of Brother Wenqing!"
Sun Erni cut off Ye Baozhu's food for the night. The family members were eating around the kang table. Her stomach was rumbling with greed, so she ran out to avoid seeing anything. Thinking that she had just brushed her teeth and exhaled, she felt that there was no taste, so she wanted to go to Gu Wenqing to complain and see if he had any food to eat. Unexpectedly, she saw Gu Wenqing being bullied by Shitou halfway through. How could she tolerate her man being bullied? Ye Baozhu had already forgotten Gu Wenqing's instructions at this moment, and was determined to rescue him. She rushed up while shouting, and Shitou was pushed away by her before she could react.
Ye Baozhu opened her arms to protect Gu Wenqing, staring at Shitou with her eyes fixed, "Shitou, you are courting death! How dare you bully Brother Wenqing!"
Shitou laughed when he heard her words, "Brother Wenqing? Hey~ What's the relationship between you two?"
Gu Wenqing looked at the gossip laser eyes coming from all directions and suddenly had an urge to die. This Ye Baozhu was really good at causing trouble but not helping anything!
Ye Baozhu suddenly reacted after hearing this. She stammered, "I...I...it's none of your business!"
"Comrade Ye Qing, I will go back and get the money for you now. Please wait here for me."
If there was a crack in the ground right now, Gu Wenqing would have wanted to crawl into it immediately. He wanted to escape from the scene as soon as possible.
"Brother Wenqing, what money?"
Gu Wenqing growled, "Shut up!"
Every time he heard the name "Brother Wenqing", his brain exploded. He was really impressed by this brainless woman.
