He then looked at Luo Yonghao and sneered, "To catch a thief, you need to catch him red-handed. You think you can be sure it's my house just by hearing the sound? There's no one around my house."
"We heard everything, are you still trying to deny it?"
Suddenly, among the female educated youth, Qiu Mingyue stood up, pointed at Ye Beiping, and shouted.
"Yes, yes, we all heard it."
The other female educated youth echoed this sentiment.
Seeing that the other side had a large number of people, Ye Beiping could only purse his lips, knowing that one mouth could not out-argue a dozen mouths.
He could only stare at Peng Tian and change the subject, saying, "You guys can all change the subject one by one. Peng Tian, I'm just asking you, are you going to pay me back or not? Don't give me that nonsense."
"In the entire Pingba Village, or even the entire commune and surrounding villages, who doesn't know that I, Ye Beiping, am a rogue and a scoundrel? So what if I have a woman? Maybe one of the female students from your educated youth settlement couldn't stand the loneliness and climbed into my bed. Or maybe it's from the educated youth settlement in the next village, who knows?"
At this moment, Ye Beiping secretly winked at Wu Di.
Wu Di, belatedly realizing the situation, also stood up to support Ye Beiping: "Yes, yes, yes, isn't Beiping incredibly charming? Besides, who doesn't know about the petty affairs of you female educated youths?"
After searching around, Wu Di pointed directly at Qiu Mingyue and said, "Qiu Mingyue, last month I saw you spend a long time in Ding Hama's office in the production team. Does that mean you and Ding Hama are having an affair?"
Ding Hama was actually Ding Quan, the production team leader. Because his face was pockmarked, the villagers named him Ding Hama.
“You…” Qiu Mingyue pointed at Wu Di with her finger in anger, her whole body trembling. She could only run to Peng Tian in tears and grievance, grabbing his arm and pleading, “Peng Tian, I didn’t, he’s wronging me.”
Ye Beiping could only scoff at this scene.
Then he wondered if his words might have caused Su Xinyi to misunderstand him, making her think he was a reckless person.
Heavens, you've wronged me!
The widow had seen many, but last night was her virgin night.
He looked at Su Xinyi, who was staring at Peng Tian and Qiu Mingyue's backs, her lips pressed tightly together.
If Ye Beiping still can't understand this, then he's truly a fool.
It's obvious that Su Xinyi likes Peng Tian, and Peng Tian also likes Su Xinyi; it's mutual affection.
But is someone like Peng Tian really a good match for Su Xinyi?
Even without what happened last night, Ye Beiping didn't think highly of Peng Tian's character. The fact that Peng Tian could chat so easily with those two lecherous old men, Xu Dabang and Zhong Tian, meant he wasn't a good person either.
Xu Dabang was the commune director, and he would often come down to inspect the area, having the brigade or production team cadres entertain him with drinks. Others might not know, but Ye Beiping was well aware that Xu Dabang had defiled many female educated youths, and had once gotten drunk and harmed countless women.
Even afterward, these female educated youths, concerned about their reputation, dared not expose the matter. Not only would they be unable to face anyone, but they would also have offended Xu Dabang, the commune director, meaning they would have no chance of returning to the city.
Zhong Tian, the brigade secretary, was also a cunning old fox. He always followed Xu Dabang around eating leftovers, so they were like brothers in misfortune. He thought that by clinging to Xu Dabang's coattails, he could play around without getting into trouble.
At this moment, Peng Tian patted Qiu Mingyue on the shoulder and said, "Mingyue, I believe you. They are a bunch of uncultured and uncivilized people. We don't need to take them too seriously."
"Oh my!"
These words displeased Ye Beiping, who sneered, "If you're so capable, why don't you compensate me for the money we owe you?"
Peng Tian was speechless for a moment.
They were all sent to the countryside as educated youth, and after several years, they had long since spent all their money.
Besides, his own family wasn't wealthy enough, so it would have been wrong of him to offer compensation at the time, but when it came to actually getting the money, how could he possibly come up with it?
Luo Yonghao, who was standing next to him, seemed to have seen through Peng Tian's thoughts. They had been classmates for many years, and Luo Yonghao knew about Peng Tian's family background.
He proactively took out the few cents from his pocket: "Peng Tian, I'll lend you this."
Then a group of educated youth began to reach into their pockets, with Qiu Mingyue taking out the most—one yuan.
“Peng Tian, we don’t owe him any money, and you don’t need to pay me back.”
Finally, Su Xinyi gave the money to Peng Tian. She pursed her lips, handed the money to Peng Tian, and then walked to the back without saying a word.
Peng Tian looked at Su Xinyi with a dazed expression, his eyes slightly red, and said sincerely to everyone, "Thank you, thank you everyone, I will definitely pay you back."
This scene made Ye Beiping uneasy. Others might not know, but he knew for sure that Su Xinyi was his woman.
Ye Beiping whispered to Wu Di, "Go and get the money, then we'll go."
As he said this, his eyes never left Su Xinyi.
In both his past and present lives, Su Xinyi was his first woman. Some things can't be done so easily.
Upon hearing Ye Beiping's words, Wu Di went straight over and snatched the money from Peng Tian's hand, counting it as he walked back, saying, "It's less than three yuan, what are you going to do, Beiping?"
A door isn't expensive, but it's not cheap either; three yuan definitely isn't enough.
However, it's not a problem to rebuild one myself.
Ye Beiping pursed his lips and gave Su Xinyi one last look before turning around and saying, "Let's go, this score is settled. But Peng Tian, this isn't just for your sake, so don't mess with me again."
"Are we leaving already?" Wu Di glanced at the money in his hand, glared at Peng Tian, and immediately caught up with Ye Beiping.
