Chapter 73 What goes around comes around



Ye Weiwei saw right through Xu Meijun's thoughts; this girl really wore her heart on her sleeve.

"What goes around comes around."

Seeing Ye Weiwei's expression, which seemed completely unaffected and as if it had nothing to do with her, Xu Meijun couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. "Ye Weiwei, you've really kept this a secret."

Previously, he was being played like a fool by Ye Wanwan and Zhao Mingzhe, but now that they've turned on him, they're showing absolutely no mercy.

The key is that even though you know she used underhanded tactics, you can't bring yourself to dislike her at all; on the contrary, you find her actions particularly satisfying.

Ye Weiwei explained in a serious tone: "You're really wronging me! Have you ever heard the phrase 'lust makes one lose their mind'?"

"Pfft!" Xu Meijun couldn't help but laugh. "You really dare to say that!"

Here it comes!

It's this open and honest attitude—saying whatever comes to mind without hiding anything—that's what it's all about.

"But Huo Xiao is definitely much more pleasing to the eye than Zhao Mingzhe!"

Ye Weiwei glanced at the small hills and streams not far away to make sure they couldn't hear her before she said nonchalantly, "That pretty boy looks like he's impotent, how can he be compared to my Huo Xiao!"

Xu Meijun's face turned bright red instantly, like a big tomato. After a while, she rolled her eyes and said, "Shameless!"

If this woman were an ancient emperor, she would surely be a tyrant!

Listen to what she's saying. Is this something an unmarried young girl would say?

Even married young wives wouldn't dare say that!

Ye Weiwei shrugged.

Xu Meijun looked around suspiciously, then lowered her voice and asked Ye Weiwei, "That Zhao Mingzhe, he's not really... you know, is he?"

Now, the villagers have great faith in Ye Weiwei's medical skills.

Especially since she said that Granny Sun was sick without even taking her pulse a few days ago, and Granny Sun died just a few days later. Although some people in the village said that Granny Sun's death was suspicious, Granny Sun was old after all, and it was normal for her to die suddenly from an illness. In addition, Wu's eldest brother and sister-in-law insisted that she died from illness, and Granny Sun was not well-liked in the village, so no one really investigated the matter.

However, Ye Weiwei's medical skills were thus exaggerated to an even greater degree.

Therefore, when Ye Weiwei said that Zhao Mingzhe had that kind of disease, Xu Meijun asked out of curiosity.

Ye Weiwei thought for a moment, "That's a good idea."

Xu Meijun almost rolled her eyes again. What do you mean by "it's okay to have"?

What does this mean?

This guy couldn't possibly be...

Xu Meijun shuddered.

From now on, I must never mess with Ye Weiwei.

If she takes a dislike to me and accidentally poisons me, I'll be in big trouble.

After Ye Weiwei handed in her mission, she returned to the educated youth settlement with Xu Meijun and found the atmosphere there to be very oppressive.

The recent series of events are all related to their educated youth settlement, which makes everyone feel unlucky!

Liu Xiangqian called everyone together for a meeting.

This was instructed by the village chief to let him, an old educated youth, take the lead and guide everyone in their work while also ensuring their ideological progress.

It was like a heavy slap in the face to these educated youth, leaving everyone feeling burning with embarrassment.

“I have conveyed the village chief’s message. Now, let me tell you about the current situation of our educated youth settlement. There are only nine educated youth left in our settlement. Ye Wanwan is marrying someone from the village and will be moving out of the settlement today. Ye Weiwei will also move out after she gets married in a while, and there will be even fewer people in the settlement. But no matter how few people there are, we are still a collective. I propose that we elect a formal person in charge to manage all the affairs of our educated youth settlement.”

Ye Weiwei raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Could it be that Liu Xiangqian has heard something and wants a formal title?

Although Liu Xiangqian always claimed to be the person in charge of the educated youth settlement, it was only because he had arrived two years earlier than them. At least Ye Weiwei did not acknowledge his status as the person in charge, and Liu Xiangqian had indeed not done anything for the educated youth settlement; he was just a figurehead.

The thought that this person in the book would get a spot at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University next spring made Ye Weiwei feel uneasy.

The college entrance examination was not reinstated until 1977, so the number of places for worker-peasant-soldier university students in 1974 was still very precious.

She remembered that Liu Xiangqian, Ye Wanwan, and Zhao Mingzhe had always had a good relationship in the book.

On the surface, he seems like a nice guy who doesn't offend anyone, but he's done plenty of things like taking sides like last time!

Then this quota cannot be given to him. Xie Ning and Wu Yue in the educated youth settlement are both more senior than Liu Xiangqian, so he shouldn't be chosen based on seniority.

It's just that neither of them likes to be in the limelight, and they usually have a very low profile.

Ye Weiwei: "Although I'm getting married soon, as long as I haven't returned to the city, I'll still be a sent-down youth in Daqingshan Village. If you need anything, you can still come to me. Even after I get married, I will definitely help if I can."

They want to exclude her from voting? No way!

Xu Meijun immediately said, "Don't worry, with your medical skills, you'll be a go-to person for anyone who has a headache or fever in the future!"

The two exchanged a glance, tacitly understanding each other's thoughts.

"Comrade Ye Weiwei is absolutely right! Don't worry, even if you want to leave our educated youth group, we won't let you go!"

"Comrade Ye Weiwei will always be a member of our educated youth settlement!"

Liu Xiangqian's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Then let's select the person in charge of the educated youth settlement now. Anyone who wants to volunteer can do so now. I'll start by throwing out an example and count as a number of people."

Hearing Liu Xiangqian's words, everyone looked at each other in surprise. After a while, Hou Zheng raised his hand and said, "I also hope to have the opportunity to contribute to everyone."
