With the intervention of Fang Yuan and his group, the truth of the matter was thoroughly investigated.
Chen Hu was arrested by the Public Security Bureau on suspicion of drugging and raping Liu Chunfang.
Because it involved educated youth, and the matter had become quite serious, Zhou He and a group of educated youth had been paying close attention to it.
Chen Hu, who was originally likely to be imprisoned for a few years at most, was directly sentenced to twenty years of labor reform.
Moreover, they were exiled from the Northeast to farms in the Northwest frontier.
The news quickly spread to several surrounding brigades, much to the delight of the educated youth.
After all, during their years working in the countryside, they had all experienced harassment or strange looks.
Now that things have been done this way, those scoundrels who still have designs on things will have to think twice.
It's just a pity for those educated youth who were forced to marry because of this.
After crying at home, she eventually fell silent.
Some people have gotten used to it, some have already had children, and some have been directly threatened by men. In the end, no one else was able to stand up.
But after this incident, those who had previously targeted the educated youth gave up on their plans.
It's time to harvest corn now; after watching the excitement, it's time to get back to work.
The team members quickly learned about Liu Chunfang's situation, and many people discussed it.
What he said was similar to what the village party secretary and village chief said.
She felt that she was greedy for what men had, and that since she had taken what was his, she should marry him.
But ever since Chen Hu was sentenced to twenty years of labor reform, none of the village women have been talking nonsense anymore.
"Fang Yuan, thank you for speaking up for me back then."
Fang Yuan, who was picking corn in the cornfield, suddenly heard someone talking to her.
She looked up and saw that it was Liu Chunfang.
"Didn't you take a day off? What are you doing here at this hour?"
Fang Yuan looked Liu Chunfang up and down, noticing that she was carrying a ceramic jar and two bowls in her hands, and felt a little curious.
The woman seemed much more composed today; at least she didn't seem so fake as before.
"I was having a lot of random thoughts at home, so I made some mung bean soup and brought it to you to thank you."
As she spoke, she poured a bowl of mung bean soup and handed it to Fang Yuan.
"No need, I'm not thirsty. Give it to Jia Hui, she's thirsty."
Fang Yuan shook his head and politely declined.
She has mung bean soup in her space, which she can drink from time to time; she really doesn't think much of what others make.
"Do you not want to forgive me, or is it because I was bullied that you look down on me and refuse to drink my food?"
Liu Chunfang looked at Fang Yuan with a grim expression and asked.
She felt that Fang Yuan, who had spoken so passionately and righteously in front of the village party secretary, must be different from these villagers.
But now she won't even accept the mung bean soup she's offered. Does that mean she actually looks down on her too?
"Didn't I tell you to give it to Jia Hui? How am I looking down on you? Are you sure you're awake?"
Fang Yuan was speechless. Was he still getting stuck on a nitpicky point?
"I really want to thank you. I don't have anything else to thank you for. I put sugar in this soup, which is the best thing I can think of."
Liu Chunfang looked at Fang Yuan with a wronged expression, as if she desperately needed her approval.
Fang Yuan: "If you just get rid of your habit of being greedy for cheap things, we won't look down on you. Take out your old books and read them when you have time, and stop doing these unnecessary things."
After saying that, he turned around and left the cornfield.
I know she hasn't quite come to her senses yet, but she's not her mother, so saying these things shows she's not holding a grudge.
Liu Chunfang also came out.
Zhou Jiahui also emerged from the cornfield not far away and emptied the corn from her back into the basket on the carriage.
Turning around, she saw Liu Chunfang there and asked curiously, "Hey! Liu Chunfang, what are you doing here? Weren't you resting?"
"I was bored at home, so I made some mung bean soup and brought it over. I wanted to offer it to you, and I added sugar."
As Liu Chunfang spoke, she handed the bowl that she had just poured for Fang Yuan to Zhou Jiahui, looking somewhat uneasy.
Zhou Jiahui's eyes lit up when she saw the mung bean soup, and she accepted it without hesitation: "Thank you, I'm so thirsty!"
Seeing Zhou Jiahui drink the mung bean soup she gave her, Liu Chunfang finally showed a slight smile.
"There's still quite a bit left in this jar, so you can have it all. Comrade Zhou He and Comrade Luo Jin, please help me distribute some to them."
With that, she placed the jar on the ground and turned to leave.
"What's wrong with her? Why is she so generous as to give us soup?" Zhou Jiahui asked Fang Yuan, looking puzzled.
"She's in a very sensitive phase right now. She was very happy that you didn't refuse her soup," Fang Yuan said helplessly.
"Oh? Did you learn your lesson and change your ways? You don't want to take advantage of others anymore and want to give things away?" Zhou Jiahui murmured.
Hearing this, Fang Yuan could only laugh. "Alright, if you want soup, then drink soup. If you don't like it, you can save it for your brother and the others."
"Drink~ Why wouldn't I drink? They brought it to us, I'll have two more bowls."
Zhou Jiahui didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up the earthenware pot and poured two more bowls.
"Then you can drink slowly, I'll go back to picking corn."
Fang Yuan ignored her and, after resting for a while, planned to continue working inside.
They've only cleared a small portion of this plot of land; there's still quite a bit left.
"Sister Yuanyuan, picking corn is so tiring, should I ask for leave?" Zhou Jiahui asked, holding a bowl.
She didn't want to work anymore; harvesting corn was no easier than cutting rice.
The corn had to be picked off the stalks one by one, put into a basket, and then carried out on your back when it was almost full.
Some of the corn had bugs on it, which was terrifying, and the corn leaves were so painful to cut.
"Why not? Just ask for leave if you want," Fang Yuan said with a laugh.
The heat was so intense that she was almost ready to quit.
It was better in my previous life; at least I didn't have to toil in the fields under the sun and wind every day.
"Then I'll ask for leave later, and I won't come tomorrow." Zhou Jiahui nodded immediately upon hearing Fang Yuan's words.
"OK!"
Fang Yuan nodded.
No sooner had he finished speaking than several "oohs" rang out, and a group of wild boars charged down from the mountain behind them.
From a distance, there were more than ten of them, quite a few of them, and one or two of them seemed to be small.
The wild boar at the very front must weigh at least 400 pounds.
"My God! The wild boars are coming down the mountain! The wild boars are coming down the mountain!"
A middle-aged woman who was picking corn closest to the foot of the mountain was startled and quickly ran in the opposite direction with her basket on her back.
That speed was so fast that even corn stalks couldn't stop it.
She ran incredibly fast while carrying a basket on her back, just in case a wild boar attacked her.
"What's going on? Why are the wild boars coming down the mountain now?"
Upon seeing a group of wild boars coming down the mountain, another man carrying corn quickly grabbed his carrying pole to be on guard.
"Women, hurry up and leave the cornfield! Wild boars are coming! Men, hurry up and get your weapons to hunt them!" Team leader Chen Wenbing hurriedly called out.
This is the worst luck imaginable! Why did this wild boar have to come down the mountain today of all times?
They dared to rush down in broad daylight; were they looking for death?
