Yang Xiaoya was speechless and couldn't help but look at Liu Danzhen. Shi Leyan saw it. She had known for a long time that Liu Danzhen was not a good person. Her fall into the water this time was not that simple, but she had no evidence.
With a sneer, Shi Leyan said, "You are also a woman. No one can guarantee that they will fall into trouble in the future. I hope you can have such an opportunity before getting married.
Otherwise, you will end up like me in the future, divorcing your husband and marrying your lifesaver?"
Yang Xiaoya was furious. "Shi Leyan, don't bother with me. I'm not as unlucky as you. Who knows if you did something that angered the heavens and the people, and that's why you suddenly fell into the water?"
Shi Leyan said, "I didn't do anything wrong. I was pushed into the water by someone. Those who do evil will eventually suffer. I believe that the person who pushed me into the water will be even more unlucky."
Yang Xiaoya's face suddenly changed. Many people saw it and thought about it.
Liu Danzhen smiled and said, "We are all from the same educated youth camp, so let's just stick to the facts and avoid personal emotions. We are now discussing how to minimize the impact of this incident.
It's true that Xie Zhiyi saved you, and that's something you should repay for saving your life. It has nothing to do with us. But it's also true that Xie Zhiyi hugged you and touched you. You're not the only educated youth, and you've ruined the reputation of the entire group."
What she said really made sense. Almost everyone felt that what Liu Danzhen said made sense. First, it should be based on facts; second, saving people and destroying their innocence are two different things.
Shi Leyan laughed angrily and said, "Liu Zhiqing, you were there when I was pushed into the water. You knew that Xie Zhiyi's rescue would ruin my innocence, so what should I say about you not saving me?
According to you, drowning is a minor matter, but breaking one's chastity is a major one. The Qing Dynasty has forgotten about this for hundreds of years. Are you planning a restoration?"
Liu Danzhen's face suddenly turned pale, and with a cold expression, she said righteously, "Shi Zhiqing, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
Shi Leyan looked around and saw that those who had supported her before now all looked like they wanted to be cowards. She sneered in her heart. She would not stay out of these things. Just now, everyone wanted to force her to die, thinking that since she was rescued, she really should marry Xie Zhiyi.
She didn't think that Xie Zhiyi was a country boy and that his status was not worthy of her. What she wanted was a marriage like her parents', where they would stay together all their lives and love each other deeply. She would be willing to do that even if she had to eat coarse food.
However, she did not have such feelings for Xie Zhiyi, and he already had a fiancée.
"Did I say anything nonsense? Fine, since you all think I've ruined the reputation of the educated youth just to stay alive, let's vote now. Those who think I should marry Xie Zhiyi, raise your hands. If you're in the majority, I'll follow your wishes."
There are many traps in this statement, but no one can hear it at this moment.
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Shi Leyan was just letting the minority obey the majority to decide whether she would get married or not.
Xie Zhiyi is a country boy, born and raised in the countryside. He is 1.75 meters tall, which is considered quite tall. He is not good-looking, but he is not ugly either.
Although their family is a little poor, who isn’t poor these days?
Shi Leyan was not good at working. She had been in the countryside for two or three years, but she still couldn't earn enough work points. If this continued, she would starve to death.
Kang Mingcheng said loudly, "I object. Xie Zhiyi is doing good things, and he already has a fiancée. You are forcing Shi Zhiqing to marry him, which is ruining his good deeds."
Liu Danzhen was so angry that her teeth were itching. She and Kang Mingcheng went to the countryside together. Logically, they shared hardships and should have formed a revolutionary friendship earlier, but Kang Mingcheng always kept his distance from her. After Shi Leyan came, Kang Mingcheng took great care of Shi Leyan.
Liu Danzhen hated Shi Leyan so much that she wished she would die. It would be great if she could marry Xie Zhiyi.
Xie Zhiyi is a second-rate guy in the village. He has a childhood engagement. It is said that the girl has always wanted to cancel the engagement, but she has been holding back for the sake of her reputation.
Xie Zhiyi rescued Shi Leyan, and the woman took this opportunity to break off the engagement. Shi Leyan ruined the marriage and had a bad reputation, so in the end she had to marry Xie Zhiyi.
But Kang Mingcheng came out to sabotage it.
Liu Danzhen had the upper hand at this moment and was too lazy to care about Kang Mingcheng. She gave Yang Xiaoya a wink.
Yang Xiaoya cleared her throat. "Since this matter requires a vote, it won't be effective just because one person objects. Let's vote by raising our hands. I think Shi Zhiqing should marry Xie Zhiyi. Anyone who agrees with me can raise their hands!"
After saying that, she raised her hand without hesitation.
Liu Danzhen also raised her hand. She looked left and right, and then looked forward and backward. Her eyes were a little sharp, as if anyone who disagreed with her was singing a different tune.
People raised their hands one after another.
"Han Wei, don't you think it's wrong?" Liu Danzhen asked a short male educated youth. The other party was very young and had just arrived this year, sixteen years old. He seemed to have not yet developed, but he was very good at fighting and had little strength.
"What the hell do I have to tell you my opinion? Whether someone gets married or not is none of their parents' business. Do they need you idiots to express your opinions here?" Han Wei spoke very rudely.
He was a thorn from the moment he arrived, and everyone knew it.
Liu Danzhen was also a little afraid of him, so she tried to persuade him kindly, "But this matter concerns the reputation of all the educated youth. If Shi Zhiqing doesn't marry Xie Zhiyi, her reputation will be ruined. We all benefit from it..."
"Rong bullshit, if your father committed hooliganism, does that mean all the men in China are guilty of hooliganism? Shi Zhiqing just fell into the river and was rescued, and you fucking mean that she should have drowned in the river. I even said that you committed murder!" Han Wei spoke mercilessly.
After working for half a day, a bunch of idiots don’t go to cook and eat, but are here discussing whether to get married or not. Are you sick?
"If you don't want to vote, then don't vote. Why are you cursing at me?" Yang Xiaoya said weakly.
"What's wrong with me scolding you, you follower, you idiot!" Han Wei was hungry and a little irritable.
Yang Xiaoya was scolded and felt so aggrieved that tears came to her eyes. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Liu Danzhen.
Liu Danzhen looked at the last person, Lin Yanran, and asked, "Lin Zhiqing, what do you think? Don't you support Shi Zhiqing getting married?"
Lin Yanran is a very cold girl. You can tell at a glance that she has a good family background. She gets two work points a day, lives in a single room, and eats quite well. After she came here, she has been plucking grass for pigs every day and has never worked in the fields.
She was wearing a white Dacron shirt and black trousers. While others had two big braids, she only had one braid that she threw behind her head.
He rolled his almond-shaped eyes and said indifferently, "Liu Danzhen, do I need to report my opinion to you? It doesn't matter if you have dirty thoughts. After all, anyone who is not a saint will inevitably do something bad in secret. But forcing someone into a desperate situation is an evil act!"
After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "I'm hungry. I'm going to cook. You guys can have fun by yourselves!"
