Gou Sheng knew he wasn't a good young man in the eyes of the public, but apart from being idle and not doing any proper work, he had never done anything illegal.
Even among his group of buddies, none of them had ever done anything as wicked as petty theft, bullying men, or harassing women.
They usually either get together to drink and play cards, or they make a little money by trading on the black market.
Nowadays, he simply cannot bring himself to directly connect with human traffickers and do such heinous things!
"coward!"
Yuan Xiaoya looked indifferent.
"Breaking the law will result in being sent to a farm for reformation; in serious cases, they might even be forced to eat peanuts."
Gou Sheng said seriously, "I may have been a bit of a scoundrel, but my parents always told me that I must never do anything illegal..."
Daughter-in-law, you only have suspicions about Er Gouzi's wife, but you don't have any solid evidence.
Even if you have evidence, it would still require the police to intervene and convict Er Gouzi's wife based on the evidence you provide.
If we retaliate in private, you'll go from being the victim to becoming the perpetrator, just like Er Gouzi's wife. Is that what you want?
"Wouldn't we be more careful when we did it?"
Yuan Xiaoya retorted, "If the police can't find out, then we'll be fine!"
"Wife, don't oversimplify things. You have to know that nothing stays hidden forever."
Gou Sheng tried to persuade him.
"You won't admit you're a coward, fine, just pretend I didn't say anything to you!"
Yuan Xiaoya said irritably, "I want to be alone for a while. Now get out of my sight."
She was chasing people away.
Upon hearing this, Gou Sheng's eyes showed a hint of hurt, but he didn't say anything more and turned to leave their bedroom.
The former residence of educated youth.
"Can you please stop looking at me so strangely?!"
After lunch, the educated youth returned to their dormitories in twos and threes. Song Jiaojiao noticed He Xiaomiao's gaze, looked over, and immediately gave her a cold look.
"Why do I look so strange?"
He Xiaomiao said nonchalantly, "If you have nothing to hide, why do you care what kind of look I give you?"
"Explain yourself clearly. Why would I be guilty?"
Song Jiaojiao questioned in a cold voice.
"Is it fun to play dumb? Song Jiaojiao, do you dare say that it wasn't because of something you said to Yuan Xiaoya that Yuan Xiaoya and Yang He got into a fight in the fields after work?"
He Xiaomiao's gaze fell on Song Jiaojiao with disdain: "I've never seen anyone as fond of gossiping as you."
We're all former sent-down youth, and instead of trying to get along, you're always stirring up trouble and spreading rumors.
"You've turned the educated youth compound into a complete mess. If you ask me, you probably haven't given up on Chen, have you?!"
"You're the one stirring up trouble! You're looking for something to criticize me for no reason, and then you dragged Chen Zhiqing into this, trying to smear me. He Xiaomiao, don't go too far!"
Song Jiaojiao was furious. How could she have encountered such a mad dog that would bite her whenever it saw her!
"When you started work at noon, you went up to Yuan Xiaoya and started talking to her. We all saw it clearly. And when Yuan Xiaoya finished work..."
When Yang He reached her side, the two began to tear at each other. "Do you think we're all fools who can't see through this?"
Yang He said sarcastically, "Besides, before Yuan Xiaoya and I fell into the hands of kidnappers, you visited Yang He's house quite often. Anyone would think that you two had a good relationship."
On the other hand, your relationship with Yuan Xiaoya broke down a long time ago, and as a result, Yuan Xiaoya and I were sent back to the village by the police.
You seemed to have forgotten your past conflict with Yuan Xiaoya, and leaned in to whisper to her. Then Yuan Xiaoya's gaze fell on Yang He, and the two of them started wrestling on the ground.
"Song Jiaojiao, I have a guess, would you like to hear it?"
The other female educated youths did not participate in the argument between He Xiaomiao and Song Jiaojiao. They appeared to be resting on their respective bunks, but in reality, they were listening intently to the conversation between He Xiaomiao and Song Jiaojiao.
"I don't care what your guess is, it has nothing to do with me, so don't offend my ears!"
Song Jiaojiao felt that He Xiaomiao was definitely not going to say anything nice, and even had a premonition that what He Xiaomiao was about to say would be very detrimental to her.
The more she tried to avoid hearing something, the more He Xiaomiao would say it.
"Was it you and Yang He who were behind Yuan Xiaoya and me falling into the hands of kidnappers?"
Regardless of Song Jiaojiao's expression upon hearing this, the other female educated youths lying on their respective bunks all stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
"He Xiaomiao, what nonsense are you spouting? Let me tell you, that's slander!"
Song Jiaojiao was on edge, but her expression was one of uncontrollable rage.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or you're too cunning to admit it, only you know the truth in your heart."
He Xiaomiao looked directly at Song Jiaojiao: "You probably never expected that Yuan Xiaoya and I would return safely, right?"
Thinking back, Yuan Xiaoya and I were able to be rescued thanks to Comrade Song Lan! She happened to see us on the train at the Beijing Railway Station, and then asked the railway police to intervene, which successfully rescued Yuan Xiaoya and me from the kidnappers.
"Song Jiaojiao, you and Comrade Song Lan are clearly sisters, so why aren't you as kind as her? All you do is stir up trouble; you're truly despicable!"
"You're a mad dog!"
They seized on her to attack her, used her to drag Chen Dongze into the mess, and now they've dragged in that bitch Song Lan... He Xiaomiao, she's courting death!
Song Jiaojiao's eyes blazed with fury as she glared at He Xiaomiao: "You're attacking whoever you can get your hands on! You suddenly dragged Chen Zhiqing into this to smear me!"
