But Song Jiaojiao is different. In my opinion, she's a clown, a toad. She's not good enough for you at all. Don't get involved with her!
What a fool! Yet he thinks he's so clever. He doesn't even know where he is now. He offended his adoptive parents as soon as he arrived and stirred up trouble in the village. Even though he used to be familiar with all the villagers, this incident has changed everything. Plus, he's back in the village where he grew up and he's putting on an arrogant act. His life in the village will definitely not be easy from now on!
“I’m not familiar with Song Jiaojiao, so don’t mention her in front of me. As for… as for Lanlan, she’s married, and there’s probably no possibility between us anymore.”
As Chen Dongze spoke, especially when she heard him call Song Lan "Lanlan," a hint of jealousy flashed in Yuan Xiaoya's eyes. Although it was fleeting, she knew very well that she was jealous of Song Lan from the bottom of her heart.
Even though they've broken up and she's married to another man, Chen Dongze still can't forget her. If they get divorced, maybe... maybe Chen Dongze will feel hopeful again and go back to her.
Yuan Xiaoya thought to herself, she didn't want this to happen!
Therefore, Song Lan had better not divorce her current husband, otherwise, don't blame her for taking action against him!
"Da Wang, you guys hurry up! If Song Jiaojiao doesn't pay us a hundred yuan today, you're all going to beat her up!"
Zhu Guihua walked very fast, urging the five Song brothers to quicken their pace, completely ignoring the educated youth walking back to the educated youth compound.
Song Dawang: "Isn't one hundred yuan a bit too much?"
"What a load of rubbish! We women were beaten because of her. If she can't come up with a hundred yuan, I'll make sure she can't stay in the educated youth compound any longer!"
Zhu Guihua spat as she thought to herself that Song Jiaojiao was already being very lenient by not asking for two or three hundred yuan. If she couldn't get a hundred yuan in compensation, she would lie on Song Jiaojiao's bed and refuse to leave.
We'll see if that little girl pays then!
As the educated youth walked along the village road, a gust of wind suddenly swept by, followed by a cloud of dust. They couldn't help but frown, their gazes toward the backs of Zhu Guihua's mother and the others filled with disdain and contempt.
"Could they be going to our former educated youth compound?"
"Definitely!"
"Going to do what?"
"I think they're probably going to settle scores with Song, the educated youth."
"That's true. If Song hadn't spoken recklessly, there wouldn't have been this commotion."
"What do you think Song Zhiqing was thinking? She was switched at birth in the hospital, it wasn't her adoptive parents' fault, so why didn't she acknowledge this new relationship? Didn't she know that having someone to rely on in this village would make her life as an educated youth easier?"
"Haven't you heard people say that she doesn't want to hurt her biological parents?"
“I think Song Zhiqing is completely insane! The kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them. But she’s gone and doesn’t even acknowledge her adoptive parents anymore. Moreover, she’s ruining their reputation as their biological daughter in the village. In their adoptive parents’ hearts, they must think they raised a thankless wretch.”
"We're all former educated youth. When we get back to the educated youth compound, don't say anything out of line, lest you embarrass Educated Youth Song."
"She's so arrogant, I can't be bothered with her."
...
The educated youth walking together were not only talking about Song Jiaojiao among the female educated youth, but also whispering among the male educated youth.
When these educated youths returned to the educated youth compound, they found Song Jiaojiao arguing with Zhu Guihua.
No one stepped forward to speak up for her, which infuriated Song Jiaojiao. When she looked at Chen Dongze, her eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Brother Dongze..."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, Chen Dongze walked into the dormitory where he and two other male educated youths lived. On the way, he didn't even look at Song Jiaojiao, as if he hadn't heard what she was saying at all.
Song Jiaojiao was undoubtedly embarrassed by this.
With no one to help her and unable to argue with Zhu Guihua, she saw the other woman rush into her dormitory room and quickly followed, asking, "What do you want to do?"
Which bed is yours?
Zhu Guihua asked.
Why are you asking this?
As she said this, Song Jiaojiao's gaze involuntarily fell on a bed. Seeing this, Zhu Guihua quickly walked over and then flopped onto the bed: "If you don't pay my medical bills, I'm not leaving!"
"Auntie, how could you do this? It wasn't me who asked you to say those things in front of my mother. You have no right to ask me for compensation. Besides, it wasn't me who hit you and Brother Dawang..."
Song Jiaojiao spoke with a sob in her voice, but Zhu Guihua interrupted her: "You don't acknowledge Da Meizi as your adoptive mother, and Da Meizi doesn't have you as her adopted daughter either. The accountant already said that their family has nothing to do with you."
Don't you dare call Da Meizi "Mom" in front of me. I'm getting my compensation from you today, or I mean it—I'll just stay in your bed and wait it out!
Not wanting to become the focus of other educated youth's gossip, Song Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and said, "Ten yuan, no more."
Zhu Guihua: "One hundred!"
Song Jiaojiao: "I'll add five more yuan."
Zhu Guihua: "One hundred!"
There were all sorts of comments coming from the courtyard, and Song Jiaojiao was furious: "Auntie, you're being unreasonable!"
"Little girl, don't think I don't know you're using me as a pawn. Now you think you can get rid of me with a little money? No way!"
Zhu Guihua not only lay down on Song Jiaojiao's bed, but also vigorously wiped her muddy hands on the sheets. Seeing this, Song Jiaojiao felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
"Thirty, that's it. I don't have any more. If you don't want it, fine. It's not like I'm the one who made you get beaten up!"
As she spoke, Song Jiaojiao walked toward the dormitory door, but then she turned back to look at Zhu Guihua: "This dormitory isn't just for me. If something goes missing, the other educated youths living with me will definitely report it to the police station. No matter if you took it or not, you'll be suspected."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Guihua's heart tightened. As an ordinary citizen, she, like most people, was most afraid of seeing government officials in uniform. If she were to be falsely accused by the educated youth living in this house, even if she proved that she hadn't taken anything, the way the villagers looked at her would probably change...
Furthermore, she has three sons who are still unmarried, and it's hard to guarantee that her situation won't affect their future marriage prospects.
Zhu Guihua was struggling with her inner conflict.
Thirty yuan is a lot; it's equivalent to a city worker's monthly salary. Besides... besides, today's incident was because she was gossipy and couldn't control her tongue. She kept spreading the gossip she heard to Da Meizi, actually wanting to see Da Meizi make a fool of herself, which is why she got slapped in the face.
In other words, if she wants compensation, she can't actually get it from that brat Jiaojiao.
Thinking of this, Zhu Guihua sat up and said to Song Jiaojiao's retreating figure as she was about to leave, "Give me the money."
Song Jiaojiao was angry and felt like she was being taken advantage of. Even though she didn't want to pay, she still took out three ten-yuan bills from her pocket.
Zhu Guihua snatched the money from her hand: "If you ever try to use your aunt as a pawn again, it won't be enough to just give you thirty yuan." She stuffed the money into her pocket, feeling very happy. As soon as she left the dormitory, she called to the five Song brothers to leave.
