Are there really people with brainless, love-obsessed minds these days?
Oh no, we're not in a romantic relationship yet.
Tsk tsk!
"This thought process is truly bizarre!"
Wei Shujuan and Su Hong didn't quite understand what "brain circuit" meant, but it wasn't hard to connect the dots; it must be related to Wei Qiang's abnormal thinking. They nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it seems like it can't understand anything,"
Su Hong thought for a long time but couldn't think of a way to describe his state, so Wei Shujuan chimed in.
"It's like he only has Chu Rou in his eyes. He came here for Chu Rou. We and everyone else don't exist in his eyes at all. Is that the feeling?"
"Yes, yes, he only has Chu Rou in his eyes and heart. Chu Rou is very bossy towards him, but he seems to enjoy it."
It's simple, really. I feel like I've opened my eyes again. There are all sorts of people, and you never know when you might run into someone.
"Doesn't Liu Erhong have any objections?"
Wei Shujuan pouted.
“She hadn’t said a word until before we left, when she went to Wei Qiang to ask for the promised compensation. That’s how the argument started,”
"That's all?"
It's a bit of a shame that I only read half of the gossip; it was neither here nor there.
Suddenly, Su Hong squinted and looked ahead.
"The follow-up is here..."
Jian Dan and Wei Shujuan exchanged a glance, then quickly turned around and looked at the bustling village office.
Liu Erhong covered her mouth and sobbed, rushing into the village office and standing in front of Liu Weimin and the village officials who were busy working.
Because they were far away and the scene was noisy, Jian Dan couldn't hear what was being said, but their expressive body language was enough for them to imagine what was going on.
Looking around at the people, I decided it wasn't appropriate to cut in line again.
Liu Weimin was furious. Were these educated youths never going to stop?
"What happened now?"
Liu Erhong gritted her teeth and tilted her head back.
“Village chief, Wei Qiang injured me, but I didn’t intend to hold it against him. I just wanted him to compensate me for the lost work time. I didn’t need any special treatment.”
You helped me with this, and I trust your fairness and impartiality. That's why I'm here to ask you: is this compensation an act of extortion? Am I not entitled to what I'm asking for?
If you felt it was inappropriate, why didn't you object at the time?
The compensation has been delayed for a long time, and during this period I have been able to rely on my meager savings and the little things I found on the mountain. Just when I was about to run out of money and asked him to pay the compensation, he came out and said that I was not worthy.
How come I didn't know that I, the victim, was in the wrong?
Isn't this compensation for my injury and the inability to work?
Many villagers were present at the scene, and immediately some came forward to testify.
"How could that be? We all saw it; he hurt you,"
"Exactly, how can that be called extortion? He prevented you from working, so compensating you for the lost days of work is only fair, isn't it?"
"Oh dear, this educated youth, Wei, seems like a good person, so why is he so clueless?"
Liu Weimin was also speechless.
"Liu Zhiqing, why didn't you come to see me sooner? It's been so long!"
Liu Erhong originally planned to use the large number of people to force Wei Qiang to feel embarrassed and hand over the compensation.
Hearing Liu Weimin's words, she immediately felt a surge of grievance, her eyes reddened again, and the one who had been so fierce just moments before became a wronged child, her hands slipping and her voice choked with sobs.
“Village chief, as you know, I’ve been borrowing grain from the village since I arrived. I was hoping to work hard and earn a lot of work points during the autumn harvest, but I can’t go on like this for so many days without earning a single work point.”
These days, while everyone else goes to work, I can only worry. Fortunately, I went up the mountain a few days ago to pick some wild vegetables and mountain produce, and the educated youth have been helping me from time to time these past few days. Otherwise, otherwise, I really would have starved to death.
The villagers started talking again.
"It's true, this girl has gotten even thinner after not working for so long."
Liu Erhong was wearing a patched jacket today, which some sharp-eyed villagers noticed.
"Is that the dress you wore on the morning of the autumn harvest?"
During the autumn harvest, villagers have to go to the fields around four o'clock. There is still dew, so they usually wear a light jacket. By the time they return home for breakfast in the morning, the dew has mostly evaporated.
"It seems so. Oh my, in this weather, you should wear a sweater or something underneath, right? But why do I look like I've gotten even thinner than during the autumn harvest?"
You know, once someone starts something, everyone else's eyes will... Hey? You're right, I've noticed that too.
This is often the mentality, especially after others have expressed their opinions, and people tend to follow suit closely to prove that they are also wise.
Two followed, three formed a group.
The villagers were in a panic, and Liu Weimin noticed that Liu Erhong's expression was also not good.
Hmm, these clothes are too big.
Liu Weimin's expression wasn't good either. Firstly, it was today's grain distribution, a major event in the village, and being disturbed like this was bound to upset him.
Furthermore, objectively speaking, he was the one who made the decision, so Wei Qiang's thoughts reflect his dissatisfaction with him as the village chief, believing that his decision was unfair. This is something he cannot tolerate.
He knew himself well enough to know that he didn't have any great ambitions. He just wanted to stay in his little plot of land and do his best to improve the lives of his fellow villagers. He would be happy if he could help them eat more grain and meat.
However, one thing at a time, he may be timid and prone to trying to smooth things over, but when it comes to fairness, he is always capable and competent, and he doesn't show any favoritism towards you or himself.
For him to say that was an insult to himself, something he couldn't bear. Anyone who didn't know better would think there was something fishy going on.
His face immediately darkened again.
"Where is that educated youth, Wei?"
After Liu Erhong ran out of the educated youth compound, even if Wei Qiang was stupid, he knew he had to chase after her. He knew that grain was being distributed today, and the thought of the village office being full of people made him want to rush out right now.
Unfortunately, Chu Rou insisted on going to see her, which resulted in Liu Erhong receiving a lot of sympathy at the village office. Liu Weimin's face darkened considerably, and Wei Qiang hurriedly helped the limping Chu Rou to the scene.
Putting aside Liu Weimin, the suggestive distance and intimate support suggest that they wish there were no gossips in the village.
The groups of educated youth queuing at the village office looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Does Wei Qiang have no brains?
They even knew to chase after me.
If he has a brain, why would he do such a thing and say such a thing?
“Wei, I remember you were the one who started Liu’s injury, right?”
Wei Qiang paused in his steps.
"...Uh, yes."
