In Chapter 17, Su Ruobai, with an icy expression, came out carrying Wang Meizi.



"There are still grains of rice on your pillow, and you still accuse me of spreading rumors." Su Ruobai frowned.

She's really tired today.

I don't want to kick people anymore.

"I ate rice today, is it normal to have rice grains in it?"

Zhao Lu's eyes narrowed.

For lunch, they ate sorghum flour buns and stir-fried water spinach.

"There's also the matter of catching a thief red-handed. You say I stole your lunchbox, but where are the things?"

"You're making baseless accusations; I'll sue you!"

Su Ruobai narrowed her eyes.

...

Just then, Zhou Yizhi's voice came from outside: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy? What happened?"

Outside the door, several male educated youths gathered around after hearing the commotion.

However, due to the distinction between men and women, it was inappropriate to lift the curtain and enter the room.

The female educated youth, however, did not have these concerns.

They came right in.

And so, the towel lying on the ground was seen by several people.

"No fighting. If there's anything, come out and talk it out. We're all comrades." In that short time, Zhou Yizhi saw what was on the ground.

Quickly speak up to stop them.

Hearing Zhou Yizhi's voice, Wang Meizi seemed to have found her pillar of support: "Captain, Su Ruobai bullied me as soon as she arrived, and she even accused me of stealing her food!"

"She even accused me of stealing her lunchbox, but I didn't do anything."

I was sleeping when she threw my blanket on the floor.

"My mom just sent me a towel blanket! It cost eleven yuan and twenty cents! I even need a coupon!"

"She got everything dirty!"

Wang Meizi was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) wearing only a vest, so she couldn't come out and quickly put on a shirt.

When Zhou Mo entered the house on the weekend and saw the mess, he frowned.

This happened on his very first day here; things are probably not going to be peaceful from now on.

“Su Ruobai, are you mistaken? We’ve lived with Wang Meizi for so long and have never found her stealing anything. How come you’re accusing her of stealing as soon as you arrive?”

“That’s right, wherever you go, things get lost. I think the problem isn’t with Wang Meizi, but with you,” Zhao Lu, who came with them, also spoke up for Wang Meizi.

After Zhao Lu finished speaking, she nudged Li Fang with her elbow.

The little girl blinked her big eyes, as if she wanted to speak.

She glanced at Wang Meizi again and pursed her lips.

In the end, he didn't say anything.

Seeing that she didn't make a move, Zhao Lu rolled her eyes at Li Fang.

When no one was looking, he pinched Li Fang's stomach.

Li Fang groaned in pain, but ultimately said nothing.

Su Jiaqi found a place as far away from Su Ruobai as possible.

She stood at the doorway, not daring to go inside.

After all this time, Su Ruobai should be a person by now, right?

...

Zhou Yizhi's voice came from outside the door again: "Su Ruobai, please pay attention to your image. You are now an educated youth, and you represent the vast number of educated youth."

Don't make statements without evidence.

You say Wang Meizi stole your food, what proof do you have?

Su Ruobai frowned even more deeply.

This requires evidence; it's such a small matter.

"That's right, Su Ruobai, you need to provide evidence! We've lived together here for so long and nothing's been stolen, so why is it that things are being stolen from your place!"

"Slandering someone is punishable."

Then a few more voices came over.

It's very noisy.

Zhou Aiguo saw that these people knew nothing, so they all sided with Wang Meizi.

It seems these former educated youth are determined to unite as one.

Isn't this bullying them, the newly arrived educated youth?

Just as he was about to speak, Xu Mingzhao tugged at his hand.

“Su, Wang, what's going on? Come out and talk it out! Let's all face each other and clear things up.”

Whether or not something was stolen depends on the evidence.

Xu Mingzhao pulled his brother-in-law behind him and started speaking.

"What evidence do you need? We've been here for so long and haven't heard of anything being stolen. You guys have been here for a while and now something's gone. I think it's not the items that are the problem, it's the people." Qian Huan, with his three-seven split hair, stood next to Xu Mingzhao with his arms crossed.

He glanced sideways at these people!

He just couldn't stand these male educated youths.

Especially this kid.

He hadn't forgotten the infatuated looks Wang Meizi and the others gave him when he introduced himself.

Bah! What kind of taste do you have? You only like this kind of gilded exterior but rotten inside!

Qin Ruixian was indignant when he heard Qian Huan's words: "Comrade Qian, that's not how it works. We haven't done anything wrong. You can't generalize and condemn everyone."

Qian Huan picked at his ear with his little finger. "Oh, where did I say something wrong? If you don't believe me, ask those guys if anything has ever been stolen from here."

He took his finger out of his ear, put it to his mouth, and blew on the stuff on it.

Xu Mingzhao then noticed that the man had a fingernail about one centimeter long on his left little finger.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Aiguo immediately took a step back.

Their family won't allow us to keep this.

Zhou Yizhi continued to persuade him like a good older brother: "That's really not the case, Su Zhiqing, you should come out and talk things out properly, so as not to ruin the harmony!"

"Captain, stop trying to persuade him. I think this person is just deliberately looking for trouble!" Wang Meizi, who had already gotten dressed, heard so many people outside defending her.

With an arrogant look on his face: "I said I didn't eat, and that's final. This is a youth settlement. You're a newcomer, so you'd better be careful!"

Once Su Jiaqi was certain that the Su Ruobai in front of her was human, she was no longer afraid.

He stepped forward and spoke to Su Ruobai: "That's right, Xiaobai, we're new here, so we should be careful. Wang Zhiqing said we didn't eat, and that means we didn't eat!"
