Chapter 42 Biting out Gu Xiaoru

Upon hearing this, Da Niu's aunt kept shaking her head: "No, that's impossible. You must have hidden my son."

"Hide your son?" A cold voice came from outside the brigade headquarters: "Who do you think your son is? Is he worth Yu Zhiqing's concern?"

Huo Lanci came in pushing his bicycle. He glanced at Auntie Da Niu and said, "Who told you that Niu Erzhuang was with my girlfriend? Tell me who it is, or the militia will take you away later."

"I think you'd be very welcome to stay at Beishan for a while."

Auntie Da Niu's face changed when she heard this. The people over at Beishan had to make ideological reports every month, and she liked to bring people to throw stinky things at them. If she was really thrown to Beishan, she could not beat five people by herself.

She quickly said, "It was Gu Zhiqing. Gu Zhiqing told me that Erzhuang followed Yu Zhiqing into the mountains."

"I saw that it was already five o'clock and Erzhuang had not returned yet, so I went to trouble Yu Zhiqing. I really didn't mean to do that."

Huo Lanci looked at the captain and said, "Captain, please ask someone to call Gu Zhiqing to confront him. We can't let my opponent take the blame for such a disgraceful act."

He sneered: "The person behind this has evil intentions. He wants to destroy the unity between the members and the educated youth. We should not let him off lightly."

The brigade secretary nodded and said, "We really shouldn't have let such a bad apple into the brigade."

"Someone go to the educated youth center and call over Gu."

A child about ten years old jumped up and said, "Secretary, I'll go get Gu Zhiqing."

"I'm going too."

Several children ran away immediately after, but more people gathered outside to watch the excitement.

The captain looked at Da Niu's wife and said, "This is very obvious. Yu Zhiqing has not seen your son today. Could it be that Niu Erzhuang has gone out to play and hasn't come back yet?"

Auntie Daniu shook her head and said, "No, when Zhiqing Gu came to visit my home, he happened to meet my son going out. He told Zhiqing Gu that he was going into the mountains to look for Zhiqing Yu."

Huo Lanci was too lazy to listen to what Auntie Daniu said. He walked over to Yu Wanqing and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay? Did she hurt you?"

"No, I fought back." Yu Wanqing shook her head. She asked Huo Lanci, "How did you know I was here?"

"There were kids playing by the river. When they saw me riding my bike across the bridge, they yelled." Everyone knew that the best-looking Yu Zhiqing was Huo Zhiqing's girlfriend, so they told him about it.

When Huo Lanci learned about this, he wished he could grow wings and fly back.

Captain Lu listened to what the two men said and muttered in his heart: What's wrong with you? The one in trouble is Wu Cuihua. One kick sent her flying two meters away. It was enough for Wu Cuihua to bear it.

Gu Xiaoru didn't expect that the matter would eventually involve herself. She could only walk slowly towards the brigade headquarters. Guo Hongying, Zhang Hongqi and others who got the news all went to the brigade headquarters together. Zhang Hongqi found that Gu Xiaoru was walking very slowly, and he was so angry that he stepped forward, grabbed her wrist and dragged her forward: "Gu Xiaoru, the captain asked you to hurry to the brigade headquarters, but you walked slowly. Do you have any objection to the captain?"

Gu Xiaoru gritted her teeth when she heard this: "Zhang Hongqi, how much benefit did Yu Wanqing give you to make you run around for her like this?"

She tried hard to break free of Zhang Hongqi's hand, but the burly woman held it tightly, making her so angry that she wanted to curse.

Zhang Hongqi glanced at Gu Xiaoru and said, "People like you who are always calculating in everything they do don't understand the value of sincerity, let alone what pure communication is." Thinking of how Gu Xiaoru had been taking advantage of the kids in the alley since she was a child, she felt that such people were really bad to the core.

"Hongqi, why bother talking so much nonsense to such a useless person." Guo Hongying stepped forward, dragged Gu Xiaoru's other hand, and walked quickly towards the brigade headquarters.

"Let's walk faster." Lu Guohua's face was gloomy and his pace quickened unconsciously.

He was afraid that if the people from the educated youth point arrived a little late, Yu Zhiqing would be bullied.

Zhang Tiesheng and the others also looked a little solemn. Their educated youth site was a bit far from the homes of the production team members, so they didn't know about the fight between Yu Wanqing and Da Niu's aunt. It was not until the children came to tell them that everyone knew that Yu Zhiqing had been in trouble.

Gao Qingmei reminded: "The people in the educated youth camp must unite. If one person is bullied, there will be a second one in the future."

Ji Qing, who was quiet and had a low presence, sneered: "What I'm most afraid of is that someone from the Youth League Center is involved in this matter."

He went to the countryside last year, and the educated youths in the educated youth camp got along well with the local members. This was the first time a fight had occurred. They all knew Yu Zhiqing's personality. She was cheerful and generous, and loved to laugh. If no one took the initiative to provoke her, she would not cause trouble.

The fact that the brigade called Gu Xiaoru in only proved that the incident was related to Gu Xiaoru.

Ji Qing, who was most afraid of trouble, cursed in his heart: What a troublemaker.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoru's face turned pale and blue. At the same time, she secretly cursed Auntie Da Niu and Niu Erzhuang in her heart, saying they were useless. Not only were they unable to deal with Yu Wanqing, but they also implicated her.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Guo Hongying shouted, "Captain, Gu Xiaoru is here."

After she finished speaking, she let go of Gu Xiaoru and walked to Yu Wanqing's side and asked worriedly, "Yu Zhiqing, are you okay?"

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "I'm fine, why are you here?"

He Xiaoyuan stepped forward and stood behind Yu Wanqing: "We heard from the kids that you and Auntie Daniu had a fight, so we were worried and followed to see what was going on."

Wang Yuping and others stood behind Yu Wanqing and Huo Lan after they left. Even Li Wenzhou hurried over after getting the news. The sixteen educated youth stood together, with Gu Xiaoru standing between Aunt Daniu and Yu Wanqing. This scene formed a sharp contrast.

The brigade secretary Zhou Ping'an looked towards Yu Wanqing and was surprised to find that not only the educated youth were standing next to Yu Wanqing, but even his own comrade Chen Peiwen (Aunt Zhou) and his sister-in-law, several other women, were all standing next to Yu Wanqing, as if they were ready to support Yu Zhiqing.

Looking again, he saw Captain Lu quietly moving towards Yu Zhiqing, and he suddenly felt a headache. What was so attractive about Yu Zhiqing that made so many people help her?

It’s okay for the educated youth, they have always been united, but Gu the educated youth is the outlier among the educated youth site.

But what about the members of their team?

Everyone was standing next to Yu Wanqing. Who could explain what was going on? Those who didn't know would think that Yu Wanqing brought so many people together to bully Gu Xiaoru and Wu Cuihua.

Secretary Zhou looked at Gu Xiaoru and said, "Gu Zhiqing, did you tell Auntie Da Niu that you saw Niu Erzhuang go into the mountains to look for Yu Zhiqing?"

Gu Xiaoru was shocked when she heard this and looked at Auntie Da Niu: "Auntie, how can you say that? I just told you that Yu Zhiqing went into the mountains, and Niu Erzhuang also went into the mountains. I asked you what was there in the mountains, why did you both run up the mountains, and you said they should go to pick wild vegetables."

"When did I tell you that Comrade Niu Erzhuang went into the mountains to look for Yu Zhiqing? You are wrongly accusing me, Auntie Big Niu. I am so kind to you and share all the delicious food with you, but you slander me like this."

After she finished speaking, tears began to fall from her eyes, and she looked like a weak and powerless white flower in the wind.
