I silently lit a candle for him.
Feel sorry for him for three seconds, and then...
Hahahaha.
As if he wanted to vent all his grievances through teaching, Old Du taught Qin Yu very 'strictly' for half an hour, then assigned him homework and kicked him out of the room.
"Don't show your face in front of me until you've finished all this homework."
Old Du's voice came from the room, and Xia Lan, who was sitting in the courtyard looking at the flowers, saw Qin Yu come out.
The door slammed shut behind him with a 'bang'.
"You got really badly scolded." Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu with a smile and teased him.
Qin Yu stepped forward, hugged Xia Lan, and kissed her cheek.
"He needs to vent."
"You're not angry even when I scold you like that?" Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu and asked with a smile.
"His pride wouldn't allow him to bow his head and weep." Qin Yu accompanied Xia Lan as they looked at the flowers he had planted.
"After suffering for so many years, he couldn't process it all at once. He was someone who could accept death so easily, but now he can only vent his pent-up anger in this way."
Xia Lan rubbed Qin Yu's hand and said in a muffled voice.
"You feel sorry for him, but I feel sorry for you."
"I'm content with you caring for me." Hearing Xia Lan's words, Qin Yu's chest tightened, and he hugged Xia Lan tightly, saying happily.
"You silly man." Xia Lan turned around and hugged Qin Yu, sighing inwardly.
He remembers even the smallest kindness shown to him and repays it a hundredfold.
The news that Qin Yu had taken Old Du home was seen by many people and spread quickly throughout the village, with people saying that Qin Yu had taken in that stinking intellectual.
Seeing that they were starting to make a fuss, Xu Fulin went to Qin Yu's house.
"What were you thinking? Why did you invite him home?" Xu Fulin could secretly help Old Master Du, but he couldn't do it in public.
Qin Yu, on the other hand, simply took the person home?
Moreover, he took the person home in front of the villagers.
Wouldn't that be giving them ammunition against us?
“Those people have already dispersed, and they are no longer considered intellectuals. Why can’t we bring them back?”
Qin Yu glanced at Xu Fulin indifferently.
The reform and opening up has begun, the old system has ended, and no one can arrest him to criticize or parade him through the streets anymore.
Qin Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this; someone as knowledgeable as Elder Du shouldn't be treated this way.
After Xia Lan took the college entrance examination, Qin Yu had a lingering worry in his mind: he didn't want her to be too far away from him.
He wanted to keep up with her and stand by her side.
The first thing is to learn knowledge.
Old Du will definitely help.
"Have you thought about the consequences of what you're doing? They've been envious of you for a long time, and things aren't fully open yet. By doing this, you're giving them the opportunity!"
Xu Fulin glared angrily at Qin Yu. Wasn't this kid supposed to be very shrewd?
Why are you so upset right now?
"I have to pull Old Du out at a time like this, otherwise he'll never be able to hold his head up high again," Qin Yu said firmly, glancing at Xu Fulin.
He knew all of these things he was talking about, but he still chose to bring Old Du home in public.
It was all to give Old Du a legitimate identity, a respectable one.
What kind of behavior is it to hide at home? He can clearly see people, so why can't he?
Just to please these people?
"You little brat..." Xu Fulin finally understood; this kid was doing this on purpose.
"Aren't you afraid? What about Xia Lan? Do you want her to be surrounded and attacked?"
Qin Yu's eyes sharpened.
"Anyone who dares to touch her, I'll chop off their hand!"
The fierce aura emanating from him made Xu Fulin tremble.
"You brat."
Xu Fulin was right. The villagers had been envious of him for a long time. This time, he openly brought that stinking intellectual home, which was the perfect handle to use against him.
Someone secretly went to tell the guards, wanting them to arrest Qin Yu.
The once-glorious Red Guards have long since been disbanded, and their members have been replaced by people wearing black Zhongshan suits.
"What did you say? Someone brought that stinking intellectual home?" The man in the Zhongshan suit immediately exchanged a glance with his deskmate upon hearing the whistleblower's words.
One person pulled out a notebook and asked the other person with slight nervousness.
Do you know that stinking intellectual's name?
"Uh...this...isn't that just a lowly intellectual?"
The visitor wasn't very familiar with Old Du's name either, and scratched his head.
"Fellow villager, think carefully, what's that stinking intellectual's name? It's very important to us."
The man in the Zhongshan suit stood up and addressed the newcomer with a serious and tense expression.
"Let me think...it seems...his surname is Du!"
The man grabbed his head and finally remembered his surname.
"Surname Du?" One of them looked at his companion who was holding a notebook, and saw the other person quickly searching for people with the surname Du in the list on the paper.
"His surname is Du, and he lives in Shanghe Village..."
Both of them looked at the person searching for the list, waiting for his message.
"Found him! Isn't that person named Du Wenqing?" The man in the Zhongshan suit looked up excitedly as he found the name on the list.
"Yes, yes, that's the name of that stinking intellectual!" The man nodded immediately, as if that was indeed his name.
"Found it!"
"Fellow villager, we're calling for help. Please take us to him!"
The two men, dressed in Zhongshan suits, exchanged a glance. One of them quickly went to make a phone call to call for help, while the other kept the newcomer calm, as he needed to lead the way.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you."
Seeing that Qin Yu was about to be arrested, the person who came was very happy, even a little impatient.
One of them made a phone call to his superior and reported everything. Shortly after, two cars came to a screeching halt at the entrance.
Where is he/she?
Two middle-aged men got out of the car and said urgently.
“This fellow villager will take us to…” Two men in Zhongshan suits saluted the newcomer, then pointed at him and said earnestly.
"Let's go, let's set off now!" The two middle-aged men exchanged a glance and immediately beckoned them to get in the car.
"Fellow villager, please lead the way," the man in the Zhongshan suit said with a friendly smile to the newcomer.
"Okay, okay." Looking at the car, the person was riding in a car for the first time, and didn't know where to look, excitedly pointing the way all the way.
Meanwhile, in Shanghe Village, a group of people were surrounding Qin Yu's house, blocking the door to prevent him from escaping.
"What are you doing? Open the door!" Xu Fulin shouted at the door from inside the house.
"Village chief, no matter what you say, we won't open the door! Qin Yu took that stinking intellectual home to raise without permission, so he's a stinking intellectual too, and from now on, he'll be one of the five black categories!"
"What are you trying to do?"
Xu Fulin's face turned red with anger upon hearing this.
"He did something wrong, and we have an obligation to make him realize his mistake!" someone shouted.
"Hey, you from the Hu family, don't think I can't recognize your voice! Open the door right now!" Xu Fulin had been in the village for so many years, he recognized the voice immediately.
