Chapter 22
While thinking this in his mind, Yu Xiaoyu also asked it out loud.
"Yin Yin, what nonsense are you talking about?"
A virgin girl, being framed by rumors and being seduced by her boyfriend, could still laugh?
He was absolutely mad, absolutely!
Meng Yinyin didn't answer her right away, but winked at her and continued to shout to someone outside: "If it weren't for a kind-hearted person who spread the news for me, Lu Chen and I wouldn't know how to inform everyone that we are together. So, thank you to that kind-hearted person."
"I just don't know how the kind-hearted person knew that I sent clothes to Lu Chen. Could it be that he secretly followed me? This is not good. If the kind-hearted person wanted to know, he could just ask me directly. It's so cheap to peek at me."
At the end, Meng Yinyin deliberately put on a regretful tone.
But at this moment, no one cared about Meng Yinyin's tone. Everyone's attention was shocked by the huge amount of information in her words.
It is not difficult to hear a few key points from Meng Yinyin's words.
First, she and Lu Chen were really together.
The second is that they haven't told anyone yet, but someone deliberately made the fact that they were dating known to everyone.
Third, regarding the matter of Meng Yinyin making clothes for Lu Chen, did that person know about it by secretly following Meng Yinyin?
Oh my God, there is someone behind this who is fanning the flames. No, to be more precise, he is deliberately destroying the reputation of Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin!
Everyone was just watching the fun at first, but at this moment, Mo Ming felt a chill on his back. Someone was actually doing something behind the scenes!
Who is this person? Why is he so vicious? Will he target them in the future and destroy their reputation?
Thinking of this, the entire youth group was in a panic.
Yu Xiaoyu finally came to her senses from the news that Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen were really together.
She moved her lips, wanting to ask why Meng Yinyin was so depressed that she was actually with Lu Chen?
Of course, she didn't just say this to look down on Lu Chen, but she felt that they were educated youth from the city after all. Although they had to go to the countryside for training due to current policies, who knows if the policies changed in the future, they might be able to return to the city again.
As a result, Meng Yinyin went straight to dating a local member. If she got married in the future, wouldn't her household registration be forever in the Nanjiao Brigade, in the countryside, and she would never be able to go back?
Yu Xiaoyu truly regarded Meng Yinyin as a friend, which was why she felt so sad at the moment, thinking that she was ruining her own future.
Meng Yinyin understood her feelings very well, but she could only say with a guilty conscience: "But Xiaoyu, do you think I can eat on my own...?"
Yu Xiaoyu: “…….”
How could I forget that this is the most difficult job in the Nanjiao Brigade.
But after she was silent for a moment, she suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at Meng Yinyin with suspicion.
"So Yinyin, you're with Lu Chen...you're not just attracted to his work points, are you?"
She looked skeptical and really didn't want to doubt her friend like that.
Meng Yinyin touched her earlobe guiltily, lowered her head and responded in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I will treat him well in the future."
Yu Xiaoyu: “…………..”
She gave up and decided to ignore this girl!
How could she be stupid? She was clearly as smart as a fox!
"Okay, then I hope you don't get discovered by Lu Chen. Otherwise, I don't think Lu Chen is easy to deal with."
In the end, Yu Xiaoyu could only sigh heavily and said this to Meng Yinyin with a worried look on his face.
Meng Yinyinsi didn't take Yu Xiaoyu's worries to heart at all. Instead, she patted her shoulder comfortingly.
"Don't worry, I'm smart and will never let Lu Chen find out the truth!"
Judging from the time she spent with Lu Chen, Lu Chen was even more like a simple, poor little thing than she was. He was being fooled around by his uncle's family and didn't realize anything. How could he, with his brain, guess her brilliant plan?
Yu Xiaoyu: “…….”
I don’t know where Meng Yinyin gets her confidence from.
But never mind, things have come to this point. As long as Meng Yinyin doesn't leave the educated youth dormitory, she can always keep an eye on her.
After the two of them whispered something in the room that they couldn't tell anyone else, they finally walked out of the dormitory again.
When they came outside, a group of educated youth saw Meng Yinyin. The expressions on their faces were no longer the lively ones at the beginning, but a bit more sad.
They just discussed it and felt that this incident must have been done by the people at the educated youth site.
Why do I think so? The reason is very simple. When this news gets out, the person who is most affected is definitely Meng Yinyin.
After all, Lu Chen's reputation was not very good to begin with, and he was a grown man, so spreading such news would not have much impact on him.
On the contrary, Meng Yinyin, a female educated youth, has her affair with Lu Chen known to everyone. Will she ever get married in the future?
Therefore, this matter was definitely directed at Meng Yinyin, and the only people who had any connection with Meng Yinyin were those at the educated youth point.
When everyone thought of this, they couldn't sit still anymore and were determined to catch this rat!
One of the educated youth stood up in anger.
"Meng Zhiqing, don't be afraid. If something like this happens, we will help you find the bad guy who spread the message behind it!"
"That's right, that person even harmed his own companions. He is definitely a black-hearted person. Such people must be found out and taught a lesson by the captain. Let everyone know how despicable it is to deliberately damage the reputation of others!"
Everyone was talking at once, as if they were the victims themselves.
But from a certain perspective, they may indeed be future victims.
Meng Yinyin had no objection to this. She was so happy that someone was helping her.
So she smiled and said, "Thank you in advance. When Lu Chen and I get married in the future, we will invite you to the wedding."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally could only smile and say yes.
But almost everyone was sighing in their hearts, wondering how could Meng Yinyin be so stupid to actually be together with Lu Chen. She was afraid that she would have to settle down in the countryside for the rest of her life.
At the corner of the dormitory, there was a person with an ugly expression.
That person was none other than the mastermind behind this incident—Lin Xiaoxia.
She never imagined that Meng Yinyin was actually together with Lu Chen, and she even told the truth on purpose, making everyone else at the educated youth center angry!
She thought that everyone was just making fun of and talking about Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen for a while to embarrass them, and after a while they would stop teasing them when they saw that they were not together.
Who could have imagined that things would turn out like this!
Especially since she heard the educated youth say they must find the person, what would they do and how would they find him?!
If the conspiracy is really traced back to her, she's done for!
When she thought of this, Lin Xiaoxia's lips turned pale.
But on second thought, almost everyone in the brigade is talking about the news, and even if those educated youth are very determined, it is impossible for them to ask everyone one by one.
They probably don’t even know how many people are there in the entire team!
After thinking about it this way, she felt a lot more relieved.
But what she never expected was that at the morning meeting the next day, the team leader did not lead everyone in shouting work slogans for the first time. Instead, he gathered everyone together and said he had something to announce.
Looking at the serious expression of the team leader, Lin Xiaoxia, who was standing in the team of educated youth, froze and had an inexplicable premonition of something bad happening.
"...Everyone should have heard about what happened yesterday. As the captain, I am very saddened that someone maliciously spread rumors. Our Nanjiao Brigade has always been a harmonious place, but I didn't expect that there would be people who deliberately smear others' reputations!"
"So in order to continue to maintain the good atmosphere of our Nanjiao Brigade, I decided to find out the first person who passed the message as a warning. Anyone who dares to deliberately cause controversy in this way with malicious intent will be severely punished!"
After listening to what the captain said, everyone realized the truth and seriousness of the matter. In particular, if this person was caught, he would be dragged out and educated in front of everyone, which would be so embarrassing!
For a moment, no one dared to say a word, and at the same time, they couldn't help but look around to see who was the one who deliberately spread the news.
Lin Xiaoxia's face had turned as pale as earth.
How could...
Why would the captain interfere in this matter and take up the morning meeting time in such a ostentatious way!
What she didn't know was that the captain hadn't figured out how to find out the person behind it at first, and it was Lu Chen who came to him last night and mentioned this idea to him.
When the captain heard this, he thought it was a good idea.
While everyone in the group is present, I ask each of them one by one who heard the news from whom, and then continue asking upwards along the source, layer by layer, until I can always find the first person who said this.
News can't just grow legs and run out on its own. It must come out after someone says it.
Although the method is simple and crude, it is indeed effective.
"From me, I listened to Liu Jinhua!"
After the captain finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to the aunt named Liu Jinhua.
Liu Jinhua's face turned pale with fright and she waved her hands in panic.
"I, I, I, I didn't spread it. I heard it from Zhao Xiulan!"
Now everyone's attention turned to Zhao Xiulan again.
Zhao Xiulan was also so frightened that she didn't dare to delay for even a second before telling the person where she heard the news from.
"I heard it from Li Dazhu, you can ask him!"
Next up is Li Dazhu, and then his source of information...
Because everyone was so nervous and afraid that they couldn't clean themselves up, the speed of tracing the source was much faster than expected.
Finally, a weak female voice sounded, and then she looked involuntarily in the direction of the educated youth team.
The moment she saw the man clearly, Lin Xiaoxia's expression changed drastically, and she could hardly control herself and ran away.
"I, I heard it from Lin Zhiqing... She said someone saw Meng Zhiqing giving Lu Chen clothes and asked us if we knew about it... I really wasn't making it up. If she hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it."
The girl blushed, afraid that others would not believe her, and looked at Lin Xiaoxia intently.
"Lin Zhiqing, you told me this yesterday at noon when we went to work together. Do you still remember it? Of course you remember it!"
Lin Xiaoxia was in a state of confusion, her head was buzzing at that moment, and everyone's eyes were on her.
She didn't know how to start.
However, the expressions of the educated youth around him changed slightly at this moment.
In fact, they were already suspecting Lin Xiaoxia yesterday. After all, everyone in the educated youth center knew that she had been targeting Meng Yinyin, and she was the only one who had such a motive.
However, since there is no evidence, everyone is embarrassed to speak out their guesses, for fear of wrongly accusing someone and getting a bad reputation for making random suspicions.
But at this moment, everyone has concluded that Lin Xiaoxia had deliberately spread the news.
The captain also walked up to Lin Xiaoxia at this moment and looked at her with a gloomy face.
"Lin Zhiqing, where did you hear this news? Or did you tell the news?"
"No, it's not me, it's really not me..." Lin Xiaoxia's mind was in a mess, and she had no idea how to get rid of her doubts. She could only keep repeating, "It's not me, it's really not me!"
"Then tell me, if it's not you, then who is it?"
There are bad-tempered aunts around who can't stand it anymore.
"I said it, our Nanjiao Brigade has such a good atmosphere, how could anyone do such a shameless thing? Bah, it turns out that some outsiders are deliberately affecting our unity!"
"That's right, I never thought that this educated young woman Lin, who is usually so kind, could be so evil behind the scenes. She is also a lesbian, how could she not know how important reputation is to a lesbian?"
"Captain, you must punish them severely and show no mercy!"
Lin Xiaoxia's reaction had already given her everything away, but the captain still asked her again with a cold face.
"Lin Zhiqing, since you can't tell me who told you this news, I can only assume that you were the first one. According to the rules I just announced, you should first apologize to the parties involved, Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen, and obtain their forgiveness. Then, read a letter of apology in front of everyone at the morning meeting tomorrow, and the matter will be over. But you must never commit the same mistake again in the future, otherwise, the punishment will not be so simple!"
After she finished speaking, before Lin Xiaoxia could open her mouth to argue, Meng Yinyin suddenly covered her mouth and looked at Lin Xiaoxia with tears in her eyes.
"Lin Zhiqing, how could you do such a thing? Although I know that you and I had some friction before, I thought we were both magnanimous people and that we would let the misunderstanding go. I didn't expect you to spread news about me behind my back. I, wuwuwu, how have I ever let you down? You're going too far!"
When Meng Yinyin said that she and Lin Xiaoxia had a conflict, the eyes of the members around her lit up, as if they were saying with their eyes: My goodness, it turns out that the two of them still have a conflict, then it turned out that Lin Xiaoxia was deliberately taking revenge!
Lin Xiaoxia: “…”
Lin Xiaoxia was almost pissed off by Meng Yinyin!
After she said this, even if he wanted to put the blame on Meng Yinyin herself and say that she was the one who told him the news, it was no longer possible!
After all, everyone knew that the two of them had a feud, so how could Meng Yinyin take the initiative to tell her about her boyfriend?
Lin Xiaoxia's last way was blocked, and she could only stare at Meng Yinyin with despair and hatred.
But before he could even blink a few times, he was frightened by another bone-chilling gaze.
Lu Chen appeared behind Meng Yinyin at some point and was looking at her expressionlessly.
Coupled with the "rumors" surrounding him, Lu Chen at this moment was like a devil that had crawled out of hell. Anyone targeted by him would have the illusion that they were about to be persecuted.
Lin Xiaoxia's face turned pale. She no longer dared to glare at Meng Yinyin, nor did she dare to make any more excuses.
In the end, the matter ended with Lin Xiaoxia accepting the captain's arrangement.
The others wanted to gossip about what happened between Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen, but they were all rushed back to work by the captain.
Just kidding, they have been delaying for so long in catching Lin Xiaoxia, and they still don’t hurry up and get to work. What do these people want to do? They are dreaming!
The captain was so angry that after seeing that everyone else had left, he looked dismayed at Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin who were still there.
"Why aren't you two going to work yet?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen looked at Meng Yinyin subconsciously.
And Meng Yinyin responded as a matter of course.
"Captain, didn't we agree yesterday that I won't have to work anymore? Lu Chen's work points are enough for the two of us to live on."
Captain: “…….”
This time he was so angry that his beard was standing on end!
Finally, he couldn't help but glared at Lu Chen fiercely to see what good idea he could come up with!
Lu Chen did not react and quietly allowed the captain to vent his anger.
"Lu Chen, if you don't get 15 work points today, you are not allowed to leave work. Do you understand me?"
Lu Chen hummed lightly and responded in a good-tempered manner.
In fact, he could do 20 work points a day, as long as other people in the team didn't say anything.
Seeing his stubborn look, the captain lost his temper completely and finally turned around and left angrily.
If he looked at these two people one more time, he felt like he might explode.
After the captain left, Lu Chen also planned to go to work.
He didn't plan to let Meng Yinyin continue to follow him because he intuitively felt that she might want to go back to the dormitory and sleep at this moment.
However, before leaving, he did not forget to take out the snacks he brought for Meng Yinyin.
After work yesterday, he remembered that the loquats behind his yard were ripe, so he hurried home to pick a few loquats for Meng Yinyin.
Because time was running out, he didn't have time to pick the big, red ones on the top of the tree, so he could only hurriedly pick a few fruits from the bottom. He was worried that Meng Yinyin would find them not tasty.
But yesterday she only took one bite and couldn't wait to say she liked it.
So last night after Lu Chen returned from the captain's house, he specially brought out a ladder and picked all the ripe loquats from the top of the tree.
The quantity was not much, but it was enough for Meng Yinyin to eat for several days.
He took out the familiar handkerchief from his pocket again.
When she saw his action, Meng Yinyin swallowed subconsciously.
Based on previous experience, this handkerchief definitely contains food for her!
The handkerchief was slowly unfolded, and when Meng Yinyin saw the big red loquat wrapped inside, she couldn't help but cheered again.
“Wow, it’s loquat!”
Although I ate it yesterday, this one looks bigger and sweeter!
"Well, you said you liked it."
So I picked it for her.
Seeing her so happy, Lu Chen suddenly felt as sweet as if he had eaten a loquat, and his heart was filled with sweetness. At the same time, he secretly swore in his heart that he would give Meng Yinyin more good things in the future.
"Then I'll go to work?"
"Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, good luck at work!"
Meng Yinyin didn't even raise her head, all her attention was on eating, so she naturally didn't notice Lu Chen's helpless yet gentle look.
Lu Chen nodded silently and was about to turn around and leave, but Meng Yinyin behind him suddenly came to her senses and asked a question that made Lu Chen stagger and almost fall.
She said, "Lu Chen, when can I live in your house?"
Lu Chenhun froze, hardly able to believe what he had just heard.
It took him a few seconds to suppress the shock and shame in his heart, then he turned around, trying his best to maintain a calm expression, and then spoke in a difficult tone.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Meng Yinyin tilted her head, frowned, and looked at him with an expression that said, "Isn't this a matter of course?"
"We are together now, have you never thought about living together?"
"Or did you agree to date me yesterday and plan to keep this relationship going?"
How can that be possible!!!
She couldn't wait to leave the cramped space of the educated youth dormitory, and she didn't want to live with Lin Xiaoxia every day!
What's more, she knew very well that there were many empty rooms in Lu Chen's house, and her moving in would not interfere with his life.
And then she could pay his rent.
Lu Chen had no idea what Meng Yinyin was thinking. His mind was filled with only one thought:
He is going to live with Meng Yinyin.
She would move into his own home and live and eat with him.
Is this too fast?
Lu Chen, who was always used to hiding his emotions, rarely had his entire face flushed.
