Chapter 32 Flattery



Lu Weimin also realized that this was to make amends for Ye Zhiyu, and it was also their fault. Seeing that it was getting dark, they hadn't thought of seeing her off.

"Yes, we're going to say it last."

Tian Hongfang looked at them with disdain and said, "Get out of here! It's not like you two are the ones being framed."

Lu Weimin touched his nose.

Seeing the way the group acted, everyone understood.

Yesterday, Ye Zhiqing was brought back by Lu Ze. If they had really run into each other on the way, they wouldn't be arguing here now; they'd probably be at the police station by now.

What? You mean he and Ye Zhiqing wouldn't collude together?

Are you kidding me?

Unrelated people, yet they helped Ye, the educated youth, harm others?

Are you out of your mind, or am I out of my mind?

Looking at the captain's henpecked attitude, they couldn't help but smile.

"Captain, why are you afraid of your wife?"

Lu Weimin didn't tolerate them at all: "Get out, get out, all of you, as if you're not afraid."

Several people carried Feng Daqiang and his wife to the brigade headquarters.

Ye Zhiyu looked at Tian Hongfang gratefully: "Auntie, thank you so much."

If it weren't for their family saying that, even though things are clear now, there's no guarantee that some unpleasant rumors wouldn't have spread, such as that Feng Daqiang was murdered after having an affair with Ye Zhiyu, and so on.

With Lu Ze as a witness, what can anyone say?

Tian Hongfang felt guilty for lying, but she had no choice but to tell the truth.

If this isn't handled properly, Lu Chen might kill someone when he gets back. He said he was going out to clear his head and forget what he should forget, but feelings aren't something you can just forget.

Tian Hongfang waved her hand: "No need to thank us, it's our fault, we should have given you a farewell."

"Sigh, even if you had offered to give it to me back then, I would have refused. Who can predict what other people are thinking?"

“Yes, Auntie is overthinking it.” Tian Hongfang patted Ye Zhiyu’s hand.

Wow, this girl is really great!

......

As a result, Granny Feng not only had to work in the village, but also had to carry manure every day.

Even after Feng Daqiang's leg healed, he wrote a guarantee promising not to cause trouble for Ye Zhiqing again.

Moreover, if anything happens to Ye Zhiyu in the future, it will be their doing.

Granny Feng and Feng Daqiang were unwilling.

"If she offends someone outside, why should we be held responsible?"

Lu Weimin said, "I don't care. You're just unlucky. You can choose for yourselves: write a guarantee or go to jail."

His thinking was that it would be good if they went to jail, but since nothing substantial had happened, they wouldn't be sentenced to more than a few days.

It'll cause trouble again when he gets out, so it's better to let him off this time and have him write a guarantee so he'll remember it.

This guarantee is like a knife hanging over their heads; if they ever want to do something bad again, they'd better think about the consequences first.

He also paid Ye Zhiyu ten yuan in compensation for emotional distress.

Granny Feng cried and wailed, but nothing changed. The man who came to collect her money mocked, "If only you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Now you regret it? Humph, serves you right. If you had done fewer immoral things, you wouldn't be in such a situation where you don't even have anyone to plead for you."

No matter how painful it is for her, she has to accept it. She doesn't want to go to jail. She's already so old, and once she goes in, she might not even come out alive.

Actually, her worries were unnecessary. Judging from her fighting style, she'll live for at least another ten years.

Everyone left, and the educated youth at the settlement also hurried off to work.

Xu Fen blurted out, "Ye Zhiqing has a really good relationship with the brigade leader's family. I suppose it won't be long before he can return to the city."

Instantly, everyone remembered what happened yesterday, and their expressions turned solemn.

Fu Tingshen said unhappily, "Zhiyu, you're being too frivolous. You were the one who wanted to go to the countryside in the first place, and now you're making a fuss about going back after such a short time."

This is a classic case of sour grapes.

Ye Zhiyu glanced at him from head to toe, sneered a few times, and rolled her eyes.

Since they're already so sure, there's no point in explaining further. Besides, she's not the one who'll be criticized, so let's just wish them success.

"It's up to each of us to rely on our own abilities." He left after saying that.

Ye Zhiyu enjoyed a few comfortable days in a leisurely manner.

Since Li Xi's system failed to absorb Ye Zhiyu's luck and was attacked by her instead, it has not made any further moves against her.

Li Xi was also very well-behaved. She had seen Ye Zhiyu's changes these past few days and dared not make any rash moves.

Especially since her brother Ting Shen had become somewhat perfunctory towards her, she couldn't accept it.

As a result, in the past few days, everyone has often seen Li Xi showing concern for Fu Tingshen, occasionally touching his hand or wiping his sweat.

Li Xi blushed and became shy whenever there was any physical movement. With the system's blessing, her beauty reached its peak. Her bashful appearance made not only Fu Tingshen but also Ye Zhiyu want to hug her.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Young people like to engage in little flirtations.

(We're saying that some people seem to have no self-awareness, even though they know who was being affectionate just a couple of days ago.)

Another reason why Li Xi was so well-behaved was because of one thing: she had told these educated youths that there was a quota for returning to the city that had been allocated from above.

Those guys were all trying to curry favor with Captain Lu Weimin. One would quietly give him a gift, another would help him with chores, and yet another would flatter him.

This left Lu Weimin completely bewildered. The key point was that it was obvious something was wrong, but they wouldn't say what it was.

Finally, they got so annoyed that they called everyone together for a meeting, and that's when they found out that what they wanted was a spot to return to the city.

Lu Weimin immediately sneered, "If that's what it's for, then you can forget about it."

Some educated youth were indignant: "Why? Just because Ye Zhiyu gave her gift earlier? We should compete fairly."

"What does this have to do with Ye Zhiyu?" Lu Weimin looked at Ye Zhiyu in confusion.
