Chapter 38 Chapter 38 The Victim's Cowardice
At this time, Ma Xiaomei appeared here, vaguely holding an envelope in her hand. The four people had nothing to understand. Li Wenbin even lied to Ma Xiaomei!
The four girls exchanged glances, and Xie Xiaoju's eyes inquired, "What should we do? This is Ma Xiaomei. What if she faints from anger, or even dies, if we tell her the truth?"
Zhao Xiaofen didn't know what to do, and the other two girls looked at each other. No one dared to take the responsibility, but it seemed unfair not to tell Ma Xiaomei.
On the other side, Ma Xiaomei received Li Wenbin's letter and bravely went to the grain drying yard. She usually stayed at home and seldom talked to people. Others knew that she was in poor health and that she was prone to overthinking, so they rarely interacted with her.
Ma Xiaomei has had few friends since she was a child. Although she envied others who were in pairs, she knew that she was an unpopular person in the village. Others were afraid that she would cause trouble, so Ma Xiaomei was sensible and always kept to herself.
Until that day, Li Wenbin took the initiative to talk to her, praised her as a special girl, and said that he could see her pure and flawless soul from her eyes. Ma Xiaomei fell in love with him immediately.
Ma Xiaomei also received a poem from Li Wenbin. Li Wenbin compared Ma Xiaomei to the moon, which made Ma Xiaomei's heart beat fast. The moon is such a beautiful thing. Ma Xiaomei had never thought that she could be treated so gently by someone, and she began to pay more attention to Li Wenbin.
So today when Ma Xiaomei received Li Wenbin's letter, even though she was afraid, she decided to come to the grain drying yard.
Ma Xiaomei bravely came to the grain drying yard, but did not see Li Wenbin. Instead, she saw four girls from the village. Why did these four people come to the grain drying yard at this time?
Ma Xiaomei paused and observed the four people in front of her with a frown. She could vaguely see that two of them were holding the same white envelope as hers.
Ma Xiaomei's head buzzed. She wasn't usually talkative, but she was very observant and definitely not stupid. She didn't care about anything else at this moment. She quickly walked forward and asked in a trembling voice, "Why are you here? What's with the envelope in your hands?"
Zhao Xiaofen quickly hid the envelope in her hand, and the other girl hid the envelope as well. Ma Xiaomei immediately felt something was wrong and continued to ask, "Tell me what's going on?"
Xie Xiaoju sighed. She knew she couldn't hide the truth, so she simply said in a few words: "It's like this, Xiaomei. We were all deceived by Li Wenbin. He used the same routine when writing poems and sending flowers. He even sent a poem to several people one by one. He is a bastard!"
Ma Xiaomei clutched her chest in disbelief and said, "How is this possible? I don't believe it. You must be lying to me!"
Seeing Ma Xiaomei's stubbornness, Zhao Xiaofen couldn't help but speak up, "Ma Xiaomei, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe it. Several of us have received his poems. How about I help you memorize them?"
Zhao Xiaofen recited the lines of the poem: "You are the moon in the sky, I am the river underground. I will walk around you until we are together."
Exactly the same, the girls who received the poems were once again certain that they had been deceived. The other two were so angry that their nostrils flared, and Ma Xiaomei was in tears.
"How could it be? He compared me to the moon, he said I was unique, how could it be? It can't be a coincidence, it's all a coincidence!"
Ma Xiaomei shook as if she couldn't bear it. "I know you all hate me and don't want to talk to me, so this is a prank, right? You asked these questions on purpose? You deliberately lied to me, didn't you?"
Xie Xiaoju didn't expect Ma Xiaomei to be so stubborn. She said angrily, "Ma Xiaomei, why should we lie to you? We would lie to you in the middle of the night. What good would it do to lie to you?"
Xie Xiaoju glanced around at the people present. "We weren't familiar with each other to begin with. If it weren't for that bastard Li Wenbin, how could we have gotten together? Did we get together just to deceive you? Are we just bored?"
The other two girls also nodded: "Ma Xiaomei, what we said is true. We only found out today that Li Wenbin lied to us."
Ma Xiaomei shook her head desperately: "Impossible, he is a liar, would he lie to me? Why would he lie to me?"
Xie Xiaoju sighed. Ma Xiaomei felt very pitiful. "He's a liar and a bastard. Don't feel sad for him. Everything he said was a lie. I guess he copied that poem from somewhere."
Ma Xiaomei didn't say anything but just kept wiping away her tears. She did not hide her sadness at all, and her whole state looked like she had suffered a major blow.
The atmosphere fell into a gloom for a moment, and the other two girls were infected by Ma Xiaomei and started sobbing. They had never liked anyone before, but they didn't expect that the love they sincerely entrusted to others was a scam. How could they not be sad?
Xie Xiaoju couldn't stand it any longer: "What's the point of crying here now? Let's go find Li Wenbin to settle the score!"
Zhao Xiaofen also agreed: "We are going to go and talk to him now, do you want to come?"
Ma Xiaomei suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears. She closed them slightly, feeling very painful: "I won't go, you guys go."
Xie Xiaoju was surprised: "Why? He lied to you so much, why don't you go?"
Ma Xiaomei shook her head, her voice broken by the wind. "I'm not going. I don't have a good reputation in the village. People say I cry a lot, overthink things, and am sick. No one wants to talk to me, no one wants to interact with me. Finally, he came over and praised me for my good qualities. I thought he was the person who understood me the most, but I didn't expect everything to turn out like this. Woo woo woo, go ahead and leave me alone."
Xie Xiaoju and the others felt a little sad, and they no longer cared about being angry. Xie Xiaoju comforted Ma Xiaomei: "It's all his fault. It has nothing to do with you. He is the one who should be punished, and he is the one who should cry bitterly."
Ma Xiaomei shook her head: "No, no, no, it's me, it's my own fault. I misjudged the person, I trusted the wrong person, it's my fault, I deserved to be deceived, it's all my fault!"
Ma Xiaomei started to cry again. Xie Xiaoju's scalp tingled. She was not good at comforting people. She looked at Zhao Xiaofen again. Zhao Xiaofen also looked embarrassed. Not to mention the other two girls. They were also stimulated by Ma Xiaomei and kept wiping away tears.
Xie Xiaoju said stubbornly, "You trusted him so much in the beginning. He's a piece of shit. Don't blame yourself. The most urgent thing is to make him get punished. He lied to you so much. You should at least beat him up, right?"
Ma Xiaomei shook her head. "No, if I go to him and argue with him, everyone will know that he cheated me. Who knows what rumors they'll spread. I don't dare. I already have a bad reputation. If this goes on, my reputation will be ruined. Then I won't be able to live like this anymore. I'm not going."
Xie Xiaoju was stunned. She had not thought of this. Zhao Xiaofen hesitated for a moment after hearing this. The other two girls were also a little hesitant. They only wanted to argue with Li Wenbin, but they did not expect that after finding Li Wenbin, everyone would know about them and Li Wenbin. Even if nothing substantial happened, the gossips in the village would definitely spread it outrageously.
The other girls all shuddered. They had never been in a relationship and were at the age of getting married. If some gossip were spread at this time, how would they find a partner and get married in the future?
Everyone backed off, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while. Xie Xiaoju was fed up: "What's wrong with you? We are clearly the victims. If we don't teach him a lesson now, he will deceive others. And are you willing to let him fool you like a fool?"
Several girls kept their heads down and didn't say anything, even Zhao Xiaofen, who had supported Xie Xiaoju at the beginning, didn't say a word.
Jiang Xi, Qi Yu'an and Liu Zhiqiang had been squatting beside a haystack not far away and listening for a long time. When they first saw these girls going to find Li Wenbin to argue, Jiang Xi couldn't help but clench her fists. She supported them very much and was willing to help them when necessary.
But after Xie Xiaomei came, everyone became concerned because of her concerns. Jiang Xi was extremely anxious. She could understand their thoughts very well, but if she left Li Wenbin alone and allowed him to continue to deceive people, Jiang Xi would definitely not accept it.
Qi Yu'an had thought of this a long time ago, so that's why he proposed that plan. Jiang Xi couldn't help but look at Qi Yu'an. The girl would not identify Li Wenbin for the sake of her reputation, but fortunately they had another plan.
When Jiang Xi looked at him, Qi Yu'an also looked at Jiang Xi. Although he had expected this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt how special and powerful Jiang Xi was, as he always stood up bravely to seek justice for him.
Qi Yu'an's skin was very fair, gleaming like pearls in the moonlight. He looked back at Jiang Xi, a hint of a smile clearly visible in his eyes. Because he was deliberately suppressing his voice, his voice was low and a little hoarse: "Execute Plan B."
Jiang Xi nodded at him, and the two of them understood each other without much communication.
"Zhiqiang and I will bring Li Wenbin over. You are responsible for keeping them stable."
Jiang Xi hummed, and Qi Yu'an reminded him worriedly before leaving: "Don't act rashly. Although I know you want to help them, the most important thing is yourself. Your own safety is the most important thing."
Qi Yu'an emphasized it twice on purpose. His low and hoarse voice made Jiang Xi's ears feel hot. Qi Yu'an gave her a very different feeling today. She always thought that Qi Yu'an was a saint, the kind of person who was willing to sacrifice himself for others. But today, he reminded her like this, asking her to think more about him. Jiang Xi felt a subtle feeling in her heart.
Jiang Xi suddenly remembered what Qi Yu'an had said during the day: "Don't think I'm too upright. Sometimes I have selfish motives too."
