We arrived at the educated youth settlement in Pingba Village.
Su Xinyi didn't go in directly, but instead watched from outside with Ye Xiaoxin for a while.
The place was empty, lacking the lively atmosphere it used to have.
"Almost everyone at the educated youth settlement has left, except for one or two." Ye Xiaoxin sighed and looked at Su Xinyi, explaining, "Maybe they don't have connections at home and can't go directly back to the city."
Su Xinyi had guessed this as well, because she had also heard the news that Peng Tian had returned to Hangzhou.
Seeing the former educated youth settlement where I had lived for three years suddenly brought me to a sense of melancholy.
If Ye Beiping hadn't taken her back to Hangzhou, perhaps she would have been one of those one or two people.
Thinking of this, his anger towards Qiu Mingyue intensified.
Just then, someone walked out of the girls' dormitory.
When Su Xinyi and the other person made eye contact, the other person exclaimed in surprise, "Su Xinyi?"
Instead, Su Xinyi gave a cold laugh.
"Qiu Mingyue".
It's not surprising at all that I saw Qiu Mingyue here.
She framed herself and even dragged some of her former classmates down with her, although the authorities did not arrest Qiu Mingyue.
But the current brigade secretary is Hou Yongping, how could he easily let Qiu Mingyue leave?
Qiu Mingyue snapped out of her daze and hurried forward, excitedly saying through the fence, "Xinyi, you're back."
Faced with such a shameless classmate, Su Xinyi felt like vomiting.
Ye Xiaoxin, standing next to her, also curled her lip, truly admiring Qiu Mingyue's thick skin.
Seemingly remembering something, Qiu Mingyue immediately opened the courtyard gate and said, "Xinyi, you've come to see the educated youth settlement, right? Come in and talk to me."
She thought Su Xinyi had come back with Ye Beiping to visit relatives.
Unexpectedly, Su Xinyi showed no respect for Qiu Mingyue and stood there coldly saying, "Qiu Mingyue, why did you tell my mother that Ye Beiping knows some important people?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mingyue was puzzled for a moment, and stood there looking at Su Xinyi for a long time.
The two just stared at each other without saying a word.
Ye Xiaoxin was also puzzled as to why Qiu Mingyue would say such a thing. Did she simply not want Su Xinyi to have a good time?
After Su Xinyi's explanation, Ye Xiaoxin roughly knew that Ye Beiping was being ostracized by his mother-in-law in Hangzhou, and his life must be difficult.
That's why I had this idea.
His gaze toward Qiu Mingyue gradually turned cold.
Noticing Ye Xiaoxin's gaze, Qiu Mingyue finally realized what was happening, smiled slightly, and whispered, "Xinyi, why are you asking me about this?"
Um?
Su Xinyi and Ye Xiaoxin exchanged a glance, their confusion deepening.
If we don't ask Qiu Mingyue, then who should we ask?
Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Qiu Mingyue bit her lip and said, "Have you forgotten how Ye Beiping got out of the police station when you were pregnant?"
"This..." How could Su Xinyi forget? It was only after she agreed to marry Ye Beiping that this matter was considered closed. "How could I forget? If it weren't for you, would I have gotten pregnant? And what does this have to do with important figures? That...that is..."
She was too embarrassed to say what came next.
Although the deed is done and I've been with Ye Beiping for so long, I still find it hard to bring it up.
Seeing that Su Xinyi still didn't understand, Qiu Mingyue narrowed her eyes slightly and asked again, "What about the matter at the commune? The commune secretary and the brigade party secretary were both arrested. Don't you know what happened?"
After her reminder, Su Xinyi gradually drifted into her memories.
Su Xinyi was in a coma during the commune incident and had no memory of it. Later, she believed whatever Ye Beiping said.
Even today, Su Xinyi has no recollection of the specific events that occurred.
Qiu Mingyue stood there with a forced smile, her arms crossed as if she had found an opportunity.
"Xinyi, Ye Beiping isn't going to marry you, and he hasn't even told you about it, has he?"
Seeing Qiu Mingyue's expression, Su Xinyi frowned in disgust: "Isn't this something you...?"
She didn't say what she was going to say next because she suddenly realized that the commune secretary and the brigade party secretary had both been arrested. Did Ye Beiping have the ability to do that?
It's important to understand that during the era of rural reform and opening up, the power of a commune secretary was no less than that of a town mayor or even a county magistrate; they wielded real power.
Even if something went wrong, how did Ye Beiping manage to get both the commune secretary and the brigade party secretary arrested in the end?
Seeing that Su Xinyi was silent, Qiu Mingyue seized the opportunity to sow discord, saying, "Although I was wrong about the commune incident, Ye Beiping was also avenging me on your behalf."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened. Thinking of Yan Laoshi's disgusting face, which she still couldn't get rid of even now, Qiu Mingyue was extremely angry.
"But have you suffered any real harm? And what about me? Not only can I not go back to the city, but I'm also considered a slut and a whore by the people of Pingba Village and Ping'an Village. Does Ye Beiping have to be so ruthless?"
Qiu Mingyue didn't even need to think to know that what happened that day must be related to Su Xinyi.
But Su Xinyi definitely couldn't use such methods by herself; someone else would have to help her. Who would help her?
Peng Tian?
It's impossible. Qiu Mingyue knows Peng Tian all too well. Although he sometimes favors Su Xinyi, the way he would retaliate against Qiu Mingyue could not possibly be Peng Tian's doing, and Peng Tian doesn't have that kind of power.
Only Ye Beiping, a native of Pingba Village, knew everything about the village, and he also had two helpers.
