Chapter 112: The Riot at the Youth Education Point
Xia Juanjuan suddenly felt a pain in her heart and she looked at Liu Lan in shock.
On the wedding night... Lizhan rushed back in the middle of the night, it turned out that he did not come back to attend the wedding with her, but... to break off the engagement?
Fortunately, she was very touched at that time and felt that the man she met in the arranged marriage was not that bad.
It turns out...she was just stupid and misunderstood.
Liu Lan continued:
"How can a country woman like you compare with a university student from the city? Besides, Fu Zhiqing's family is a high-ranking official in Beijing! Why does Zhan'er want a country slut like you instead of Fu Zhiqing? You should divorce Li Zhan as soon as possible, otherwise... I will tell my son about your cheating on me. By then, your reputation will be ruined, and you will never be able to get married again!"
Xia Juanjuan looked at Liu Lan's arrogant face and calmed down.
Even if Li Zhan really came back to break off the engagement, that was a matter between her and Li Zhan. It was not the turn of this old hag to jump up and down! And she even scolded her!
She took a few steps towards Liu Lan and said coldly, "Who are you calling a slut?"
In fact, Liu Lan was a little scared of Xia Juanjuan. She stepped back in fear, groaning "ouch!" and accidentally tripped and almost fell backwards.
Xia Juanjuan raised her hand as if to grab her hand, and shouted in shock: "Grandma, be careful!"
But when he grabbed Liu Lan's hand, he suddenly pushed her hard. Liu Lan, who had been able to stand on her own, fell down with a bang and lay on the ground, crying and unable to get up for a long time.
"Xia Juanjuan! You...you dare to push me!"
Xia Juanjuan squatted down and looked down at Liu Lan, her eyes full of ice. She sneered and said in a voice that only she and Liu Lan could hear: "Yes. I pushed it. But did anyone see it? How can you prove that I pushed it?"
Liu Lan looked at Xia Juanjuan's expression and felt a chill in her heart. She stepped back quickly and said tremblingly, "You...I...I'm going to sue you at the commune! I'm going to sue you for beating and scolding your mother-in-law! Let's see what the commune says. I'll fight you!"
Xia Juanjuan smiled coldly and said coldly, "Go ahead and sue me. I'm also going to go to the commune to sue you for colluding with that Fu Zhiqing to fabricate bad things about me and ruin my reputation, just to force me to divorce so that Li Zhan can marry Fu Zhiqing!"
When Liu Lan heard this, she became anxious. She went to the commune to complain in order to ruin Xia Juanjuan's reputation, not to ruin Fu Zhiqing's.
If Xia Juanjuan really talked nonsense and dragged Fu Zhiqing into it, wouldn't Fu Zhiqing and Li Zhan's marriage be ruined?
"Don't...I, I won't sue!"
Xia Juanjuan smiled, and it seemed that she had touched the old woman's sore spot. She continued, "Li Zhan came back to break off the engagement on the wedding night. Was it that Fu Qingye who told you that?"
Otherwise, Liu Lan wouldn't have said it today. She would have said it a long time ago to provoke her!
"Also, she must have promised to treat you well after she married Li Zhan, so you worked so hard to pass on her message, right? Hmm... let me guess, maybe she promised to take you to the city to enjoy a good life in the future?"
Liu Lan widened her eyes in shock.
Xia Juanjuan...how did you know?!
When Xia Juanjuan saw her expression, she knew that she had guessed right.
She always thought that Liu Lan was relatively smart in the countryside, but she didn't expect her to be so stupid.
I was deceived by just a few words.
But... when you think about it, it's no wonder.
The reason why Liu Lan could tolerate Li Qiaoqiao having an affair with Xu Jiayuan before getting married was because Xu Jiayuan was an educated youth who had the opportunity to return to the city, right?
She probably dreamed of living a good life in the city.
Fu Qingye used the things she had been thinking about day and night as bait, and even the smartest person would be hooked.
She looked at Liu Lan coldly, tilted her head and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, hurry up and go home. If you stay in my yard any longer, and you accidentally fall and break your arms or legs, I, your daughter-in-law, will never be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River!"
Liu Lan shuddered.
For the first time, she felt... Xia Juanjuan was so scary!
If she stayed any longer, she might really break her arms and legs!
Looking at Liu Lan climbing up in a panic and leaving in a mess, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but smile.
She locked the door and went to settle the score with Fu Qingye.
This White Lotus! If you dare to use such a despicable method, don't blame her for revenge!
I walked out the door and headed towards the youth education center. The youth education center was right next to the village, not far from the back mountain. Not many people from the village came here.
Xia Juanjuan walked to the gate of the educated youth center and inadvertently saw Li Zhan standing face to face and talking with a woman at a bush that was not easily found at the foot of the mountain.
Xia Juanjuan's heart sank. She stopped and looked carefully.
If that woman isn’t Fu Qingye, who else could it be?
I was too far away to hear what they were saying, but Fu Qingye suddenly rushed over and hugged Li Zhan!
Xia Juanjuan's eyes turned cold.
But Li Zhan quickly pushed Fu Qingye to the ground, and then walked towards the mountain without looking back.
Xia Juanjuan didn't come forward, but just stood there quietly waiting.
After a while, Fu Qingye came over with red eyes. Seeing Xia Juanjuan standing at the entrance of the village, she was stunned for a moment, but still walked over with a forced smile and greeted her, "Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Are you looking for someone?"
As long as Li Zhan doesn't divorce Xia Juanjuan, she can't fall out with Xia Juanjuan. Instead, she has to pretend to be a loving sister, otherwise... she will definitely give people a reason to talk about her in the future!
Xia Juanjuan sneered twice, then suddenly raised her hands and slapped her twice quickly and fiercely!
Fu Qingye was stunned by the beating. He covered his face which was swollen immediately. Anger flashed in his eyes. He looked at Xia Juanjuan: "Xia Juanjuan you! Ugh...sister-in-law...what right do you have to hit me..."
Xia Juanjuan said coldly: "Don't call me sister-in-law all the time. I don't know you well! Keep pretending! If you dare to say bad things about me in front of my mother-in-law and throw dirty water at me, I will beat you!"
Fu Qingye was stunned for a moment, then played dumb: "Sister-in-law... I don't understand what you are saying... what are you saying..."
They stood at the gate of the educated youth center. It was winter and most of the educated youth were in their houses. At this time, many of them had come out to see the excitement.
Because Xia Juanjuan was so beautiful, she was also very famous in the eyes of these arrogant educated youth.
As for Fu Qingye—he will be famous after today.
Xia Juanjuan tilted her head and smiled, "Hmm... don't understand? Then let me remind you, you gossiped in front of my mother-in-law, saying that I went to the county town to steal men. Did you say that?"
Fu Qingye was stunned.
Don't country women value their reputation more than their lives? When people gossip about them, they keep it to themselves and refuse to explain, so they just suffer the consequences.
Why didn't Xia Juanjuan play by the rules? She actually said it out loud in front of so many people! Did she not care about her reputation?
"Sister-in-law..., no, I...I didn't!"
Xia Juanjuan sneered:
"No? Do you dare to go to the commune with my mother-in-law and confront her in front of the secretary and everyone else?
Anyway, my mother-in-law said that these dirty words must have come from your educated youth camp!
If it's not you, then it must be some other educated youth! I must find out today who sent me there!
I want to see how you educated youth from the city can improve your thinking and be qualified to return to the city after you slander a country girl like me! "
When it comes to the question of qualifications to return to the city, all the educated youth are unwilling to do it.
If this matter really got to the commune and caused them to lose the qualification to return to the city, everyone would hate Fu Qingye to death.
Even if it wasn't embarrassing, if a distinguished educated youth made up dirty talk about a young woman and spread it out, wouldn't all the educated youths in the educated youth center be embarrassed too!
Wang Ling, who lived with Fu Qingye, immediately said, "Fu Qingye, I saw you with my own eyes carrying a few boxes of snacks towards the village! Do you still dare to say it wasn't you?"
"That's right! On the way back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Jiayuan talked about this topic with another educated youth. She asked very carefully! It must be her!"
"Yes! On the way here, she kept asking about the wife's husband, Lizhan. She must have fallen for the husband and went to the mother-in-law to discredit him, hoping to take over! How shameless!"
Several female educated youth rushed to Fu Qingye and shouted, "Fu Qingye, you should take responsibility for your own actions and admit it! Don't implicate us!"
Fu Qingye saw that she had suddenly become the target of all the educated youth. She couldn't help but feel panic. She knew that if she didn't admit it, she would definitely be isolated and targeted in the future. She had no choice but to pretend to be weak and pitiful and cried:
"I...I also heard it from others...I...I..."
"Did you hear it from others? How dare you spread something you heard from others? You have no shame, but the rest of us educated youth still have some dignity! Bah! You even went to school! What despicable things you did!"
One educated youth asked: "Xu Jiayuan talked about this with another educated youth on the road? Who was it? Come forward! When one rat spoils the other, the other pot of soup will be the culprit! If this gets out, all the educated youth in our educated youth camp will be blamed!"
"I know, it's him!"
A male educated youth was pushed out.
The educated youth was almost crying: "I...I...I also heard it from Xu Jiayuan! He said he saw it with his own eyes, but he couldn't tell anyone, so he gave me three yuan and asked me to say that I saw it with my own eyes..."
All the educated youth looked at the male educated youth with disdain, and some of them even spat at him!
At this time, the leader of the educated youth point spoke up:
"Xu Jiayuan saw it with his own eyes? You probably don't know yet? Xu Jiayuan has been arrested by the police in the county and Jincheng! I heard that the crime he committed in Jincheng was exposed! Can you believe what this kind of person says!"
"But...why did Xu Jiayuan make up these rumors?"
"Isn't it because that Li Qiaoqiao always pesters him and he can't get rid of her, so he holds a grudge against her..."
"I heard him talking about Xia Juanjuan several times. I guess he has bad intentions and wants to break up the couple so that he can take advantage of the situation!"
The leader of the educated youth team said coldly, "Okay, everyone, stop arguing! If anyone dares to spread this matter again, don't blame me for reporting to the higher-ups and saying that the person's thinking is substandard!"
After saying that, the team leader looked at Xia Juanjuan and discussed with him, "Comrade Xia, we educated youth were wrong in this matter! We will actively carry out self-criticism and mutual criticism in the future, and earnestly help educate the backward elements. Can you please... not make a fuss about it to the commune secretary?"
