Xu Yan pronounced the last two words very softly.
It only rolled lightly on the tip of her tongue, almost inaudible unless you listened carefully, but Ye Wei heard it clearly.
The sound was deafening.
She suddenly raised her head, and a soft "click" sounded from her neck.
But she couldn't care less about that at the moment. Her eyes were filled with terror as she stared at Xu Yan, her clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Despite the bright sunshine, she was shivering with cold.
"you……"
How did you know?
Ye Wei's lips trembled violently, and she spoke haltingly.
My palm had just been scratched raw, and then I rubbed it on the ground, so the dirt and blood were mixed together.
She reached out to grab Xu Yan, but Xu Yan dodged her hand dismissively.
How do you know? Who told you?
That night at the educated youth settlement, Xu Yan blurted out that her family was rich. Although Ye Wei felt guilty, she just thought that Xu Yan was being pushed to the limit and was talking nonsense.
It just so happened that it hit some of her issues, I never expected...
She really knew everything.
Ye Wei has been in Qingshan Brigade for almost three years, and no one has ever doubted her identity. She has also kept all her past secrets well hidden, so it is impossible for anyone to know!
But Xu Yan accurately called out her original name.
what is going on?
Ye Wei's mind went blank, and her eyes grew increasingly panicked as she looked at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan looked at her and laughed, "Don't worry about who told me."
She had only spoken half a sentence when she saw a large group of people walking towards her, seemingly on their way to work in the fields.
Song Guangming walked at the front with a dark expression.
Xu Yan glanced around and then turned her gaze to Xie Zhuo, who was walking lazily at the back of the crowd.
The man was more than half a head taller than the people around him. He had changed the faded navy blue short-sleeved shirt he wore at lunch into a black one, which was still covered in patches. The shirt sleeves were haphazardly rolled up to his shoulders, revealing his muscular arms.
Despite being practically screaming "shabby," his upright posture and perfect face made him stand out excessively in the crowd.
Xu Yan glanced at it, then glanced at it again.
She only reached out to pull Ye Wei from the ground when the group was almost upon them.
Ye Wei was still immersed in fear when she saw her suddenly reach out, and she instinctively trembled again.
Xu Yan turned to look at her with concern, "Are you alright? Be careful next time you walk, the road here is uneven, it's easy to slip and fall."
Ye Wei stared at Xu Yan's face in disbelief, then looked at the crowd that was about to reach them.
She desperately wanted to stand up and yell, "You're the one who pushed me down!"
But when he met Xu Yan's eyes, the words stuck in his throat could no longer be uttered.
She knows everything, and she'll tell everyone.
No, no, this absolutely cannot be told!
"Will you be able to stand up again?" Xu Yan asked worriedly.
“Yes…yes,” Ye Wei said, using her strength to stand up.
"Move your legs and see if there's anything wrong with them," Xu Yan said.
Ye Wei obediently stomped her foot.
When Song Guangming saw two people sitting and standing at the entrance of the educated youth settlement from afar, he wondered what had happened. But when he walked over quickly, he found that it was Xu Yan and Ye Wei.
The irritability subsided slightly.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw that Ye Wei's sleeve was being pressed down by her hand, and it was obvious that it was torn. His expression changed again.
"Did you educated youth fight again at your settlement?" Song Guangming asked.
Of course, he didn't suspect that Xu Yan had damaged Ye Wei's clothes like that. Given Xu Yan's personality, it would be good enough if he wasn't bullied by others.
Song Guangming glanced into the educated youth settlement.
It was quiet inside.
Ever since he told the educated youth in the fields that they could choose not to work, they have been doing nothing, and when the time came, they showed no sign of coming out.
A bunch of lazy bums who love to eat and do nothing.
Song Guangming cursed inwardly.
Then Ye Wei said, "No."
Song Guangming snorted, then asked, "You're all back now. Have you finished weeding the fields?"
As soon as he said that, Ye Wei's expression froze again, and then she shook her head, "No."
Song Guangming's brows immediately furrowed.
Ye Wei then said, "Captain, everyone else has finished hoeing their plots, but there's still some left on mine. Could you only deduct my work points?"
As she spoke, she looked at Song Guangming with pleading eyes.
But Song Guangming wasn't buying it at all.
He said with a dark face, "Why don't I give you my position as the brigade leader? I said we'd all be penalized if we didn't finish, so let's all be penalized. Besides, the other guys didn't even deliver their hay bags to the hay yard."
Of course.
Several hundred kilograms of straw bags.
Even if several female educated youths carried the load back and forth, it would still take them several hours.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for them specifically at lunchtime.
Song Guangming knew long ago that they had no chance of getting those five work points.
Zhou Jingjing and the others were inside the house. Song Guangming's voice was loud, so they all heard it. Liang Qian wanted to argue a bit, but in the end, she didn't dare to go out.
Forget it, it's just three work points.
I can just go back to work and earn it back when it gets colder.
With that thought in mind, they continued washing and wiping.
Ignore what was said at the door.
After finishing his speech, Song Guangming didn't linger at the entrance of the educated youth settlement. He then called for people to continue walking into the fields.
Xie Zhuo watched as Xu Yan dashed into the educated youth settlement, then put on a straw hat, picked up a hoe, and quickly followed.
