Chu Xi walked leisurely holding Xiao Shitou's hand and followed the large group at a leisurely pace, listening to everyone's discussion about this matter. It has been a long time since they have seen such a lively atmosphere in this small mountain village, and it has been a long time since they have encountered such a top-notch person.
Of course, she watched the show in panoramic mode, with no blind spots in all directions, especially within a distance of about a hundred meters, her mental power was pervasive, and coupled with the sarcastic voice coming from the brigade headquarters, it was enough to piss off the panoramic cinemas of later generations!
Li Cuihua, the first to complain, was still accusing the educated youth of their crimes, tears streaming down her face as if she had suffered a great injustice. However, everyone in the courtyard knew this notorious "troublemaker," so she was basically performing a one-man show. No one paid any attention to her, which made the stone pillar standing behind her feel a little embarrassed...
As they were talking, Liao Wenbo walked into the yard with a group of educated youth. Lu Qi followed in under everyone's escort. However, the moment she came in and heard the words of the evil woman, she began to worry.
When Li Cuihua saw the educated youth coming in, her eyes flickered and she performed even harder.
"Captain, we are a family. They are bullying the Shi family like this. Don't you care?"
"And this young woman, a delicate and weak-looking girl, turned out to be a liar. What she said is as good as her spit. Yesterday she agreed to marry my son, but today she turned her back on me! Ugh, she's from a big city! No way, she must marry my son!"
Those fierce eyes made several female educated youth take a few steps back. Although several male educated youth were embarrassed by the identities of the women in front of them, they all chose to stand in front of the female educated youth!
The protected female educated youth began to murmur. Although Lü Qi wasn't particularly beautiful, she worked very hard. Although she wasn't very strong, her work points were always as high as those of other female educated youth, and sometimes she even earned more than many male educated youth! But they definitely didn't want to marry into the village's elite family. Besides, with a mother-in-law like that, she would be tortured to death if she married!
"She's really crazy! This old lady is so desperate for a daughter-in-law! She doesn't even look at what her son looks like, and she's still asking him to marry an educated youth..."
"No wonder he hasn't found a wife yet, it must be because of this amazing mom..."
"What you're saying is bullshit, bullshit! This is what Lü Qi told me yesterday. She's willing to marry my son, and she won't have to work anymore. She can just stay at home and take care of the kids!"
"I didn't, I didn't! I just said it was too hot in the fields yesterday and I was a little tired!"
Lu Qi couldn't hold it in any longer and started crying loudly, shaking with grievance.
The noise of everyone talking at once made Captain Shi feel overwhelmed. He could not help but reach for his pipe again, carefully pinched out a handful of tobacco from the pipe, slowly pressed it tightly, and then gently lit it with a match. He took a deep breath, relaxed for a while, and then began to speak.
"Stop, stop, stop right there! Shizhu, hold your mother! If you keep making such a fuss, get out of here!"
Finally, the yard gradually became quiet, but the people who heard the noise outside the yard still slowly gathered together. Eating melons is a major entertainment activity in this mountain village.
But the crooked-faced woman looked anxious and started yelling before she even got close.
"I heard that idiot Shizhu is getting married? And she's an educated youth. Shizhu's wife is really capable!"
"That's right. He even took his wife away from the family, and that educated youth couldn't do anything about it. I don't know why Li Cui is so fickle..."
"Well, it doesn't matter how she got married, as long as she's married into the family, and then she gives birth to a big fat boy, then everything will be stable."
"But I heard that the educated youth changed her mind. That's really heartless. Shizhu finally found this wife, and what he promised was set in stone."
Chu Xi listened to these statements that never considered the wishes of others, and sighed helplessly in his heart. It was terrible to be uneducated. What was the difference between forced marriage and human trafficking, not to mention such a shameful method.
She had only heard her grandfather vaguely mention the days when educated youth went to the countryside. Later, she read some stories about educated youth going to the countryside in some books. Beautiful female educated youth were coerced and abused during their time in the countryside. They were isolated and helpless, and were blamed by people around them. In the end, they were forced to marry the person who molested her.
Although what is written in the book may not be true, art comes from life, and there is no wind without waves. Coupled with the special background of the times, it is really possible that this situation will happen, and this woman's life will definitely be ruined.
The theory of victim blaming is ubiquitous in this end-time world where people have lost their conscience and humanity. Someone might have their food stolen and end up being treated badly. But this impoverished era is still considered a peaceful one...
Alas, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing such a thing? Chu Xi decided to have another "ghost come to the house" at night, and it would be a greedy and money-hungry ghost. Although she didn't like the things in their house at all, she wanted to make this kind of person "comfortable" for a while.
"Okay, I've understood the general situation. Just listen to me first!"
"Li Cuihua, you said that Lü Zhiqing was willing to marry your son. Do you have any witnesses to that? Or any written documents?"
Li Cuihua said a few words and turned to look at her son. She knew that her son was a little dull, and her family was really poor, so she had never been able to get married. So she had to take action herself. Today, she was willing to risk her old face and bring a wife home!
"Yesterday, when we were working in the fields together, she was complaining about how tiring it was. I suggested that getting married wouldn't be so tiring, and I mentioned my son, and she agreed. We talked for a long time afterwards, and everyone saw it!"
"I didn't, I didn't!"
When had Lu Qi ever encountered such a thing? With the comfort of other female educated youth, she finally recovered and slowly began to refute. Her eyes became firm. She knew that she had to rely on herself for this matter!
"Yesterday, it was you who deliberately came up to me, complaining about how tiring work was and how hot it was, and you even praised your son for how good he looked. You never mentioned whether I would get married or not, and I just agreed with you!"
"That's right, we were doing just fine, but you, an old woman, got involved and pushed me aside. Now it seems you have ulterior motives!"
A young girl also started to lose her temper. She was a young but somewhat thorny female educated youth who usually liked to be with Lu Qi and hated this kind of bullying the most!
"You slut, you dare to scold me? I'll rip your mouth off!"
Seeing Li Cuihua acting crazy again, Captain Shi held his forehead and felt a headache!
"Shizhu, you know what's going on with your mother. I'm going to take her home right now. If you keep making trouble like this and dare to cause trouble for these educated youth again, I'll kick you out of Shijia Village!"
Shizhu was startled by the captain's final roar, and hurriedly dragged his mother, who dared not make any more noise, away in shame...
