"Zhiyu, don't be angry. They're all just a bunch of people who believe anything they hear."
Seeing that she looked unwell, Wu Wenwen comforted her.
"Sis, I'm fine, I'm just feeling annoyed."
"Don't blame everyone. We responded to the call to go to the countryside to build up rural areas, but without money and materials, we can't get anything done. The enthusiasm we had has long since dissipated. We have no goals and live like walking corpses. When we see hope, we always want to grasp it, so it's inevitable that we get a little excited."
Liu Shengnan also looked sad after hearing these words.
Wang Qing couldn't help but tear up: "My mother is in poor health, and my younger sister is still too young to take care of others. I don't know how she is doing. I miss home."
Ye Zhiyu looked at them helplessly. She had never advised anyone before, so how could she offer any advice?
"Hey, don't cry, I... I don't know how to comfort people."
The atmosphere fell silent, and everyone burst out laughing.
Ye Zhiyu was stunned. What's wrong? Why is she laughing again? Has she gone crazy?
Wu Wenwen smiled and pinched her cheek, "How can you be so cute?"
Liu Shengnan sat next to her and said, "Really? Let me see what's cute about it."
As he spoke, he reached out and tickled Ye Zhiyu.
"Hahahaha, Liu Shengnan, hahahaha, let me go, I... hahahaha."
Wang Qing also joined in.
Seeing that this was not working, Ye Zhiyu stopped defending and began to counterattack.
He groped Liu Shengnan.
For a time, Ye Zhiyu's room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
Everyone else had complicated expressions, while Li Xi's eyes were sinister, his pupils dark and piercing.
Zhou Xue, who shared a room with her, was so frightened that she hid under the covers, trembling, and dared not come out.
This is terrible, Mom, I want to go home.
Behind them, in the mud-brick house, Xu Fen's face was full of hatred as she held a needle and kept stabbing a small figure.
After tying it enough, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He hid it under the mattress and then covered it with his pillow.
......
The next morning, I heard a lot of noise outside.
Ye Zhiyu got up, poured some hot water from the thermos, added some cold water, and slowly washed up.
She combed her long, black, algae-like hair and braided it at the back. With her spiritual power, she wouldn't mistreat herself; she used a cleansing spell every day, otherwise she would feel terrible.
It's easiest to sweat in the middle of summer.
I picked out a sleeveless denim dress from the closet. It was an A-line dress that reached below my knees, and I put on white sun-protective arm sleeves.
Only then did he go out to see what was going on.
"What's wrong?" asked Liu Shengnan.
"Grandma Feng's youngest son is missing. She went to knock on the brigade leader's door early this morning, and they're organizing a search for him right now."
Liu Shengnan spoke of Granny Feng's family with disgust, saying, "If you ask me, they're probably out drinking and partying somewhere, sleeping in some nook or cranny. They'll just wake up and come back on their own. What's the point of looking for them?"
Wang Qing: "There's nothing we can do. It's a human life too. If we don't go to Granny Feng, she'll make a scene."
Ye Zhiyu lowered her eyes; it seemed that the man from yesterday was Granny Feng's youngest son.
He glanced at Li Xi, who was sitting there fussing over Fu Tingshen. Was it not her who instructed him?
Just as I was thinking this, the educated youth settlement was completely surrounded by people.
Outside, cries of agony echoed, "Oh dear, why is my life so miserable?"
A group of people, led by Lu Weimin, carried in a stretcher. Lying on it was the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face from yesterday. They found him so quickly.
The woman wailing and lamenting next to him must be the madwoman. Ye Zhiyu was just waiting to see what kind of show they were going to put on.
When Granny Feng saw Ye Zhiyu standing there so gracefully, she rushed over, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.
"You little bitch, I'll fight you to the death."
Lin Yueze and Liu Yuan quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Ma'am, let's talk this out, don't resort to violence."
But women's fighting methods are unpredictable; they just start by scratching.
The two women couldn't withstand the attack, and Granny Feng rushed up to Ye Zhiyu and slapped him across the face.
Things happened too fast for Liu Shengnan and the others to stop.
Fu Tingshen called out in a panic, "Zhiyu."
Li Xi heard this and secretly resented it. It would be best if he were disfigured. Let's see how he seduces Brother Ting Shen after he's disfigured.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished.
Ye Zhiyu grabbed Granny Feng's arm and exerted force, causing a look of pain to appear on Granny Feng's face.
Seeing that he couldn't pull it out, he tried to grab it with his other hand, but Ye Zhiyu grabbed it as well.
"You bitch, let me go!"
Liu Shengnan shoved her: "You old hag Feng, you're a crazy woman, coming to our educated youth settlement to cause trouble, do you think we're easy to bully?"
"That's right, what are you trying to do? We can sue you for bullying educated youth sent to the countryside."
"That's right, we're not easy to bully either."
Lu Weimin watched this scene with a headache and shouted, "Old woman Feng, when we find your Daqiang, you say that Ye Zhiqing is the one who harmed him. Even if we ask you again, you won't say anything and you have to cry and make a scene to come here."
"Now you can talk, right? If you don't give me some solid answers today, you'll be doing the work of carrying manure from now on."
Old Man Feng had passed away long ago. His daughters, Da Niu and Xiao Niu, were sold off by her for exorbitant dowries, and neither of them ever returned.
All that's left is Feng Daqiang, who just drifts through the village day after day, earning only two or three work points a day. Even the kids are better off than him.
Granny Feng was always stirring up trouble; eight out of ten fights were caused by her.
Upon hearing that they had to collect manure, Granny Feng quickly said, "Captain, you must stand up for me! My son went out yesterday saying he was going to find that slut, but he didn't come back all night. If he hadn't found her, she would have ended up like this."
"Oh, my son."
Liu Yuan blurted out, "Impossible."
Wu Wenwen and the others also said that she was lying, "Zhiyu came back when it was just getting dark yesterday, you're talking nonsense."
But nobody listens to them; they only care about what they want to see.
The way everyone looked at Ye Zhiyu instantly changed.
"Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiqing liked Feng Daqiang's taste."
"I knew she was no good from the start. She always dresses up so flashy and seduces people."
