"Do you believe I won't go to the Revolutionary Committee and report you for slandering and defaming our revolutionary comrades? I want to see who will ultimately suffer the consequences!"
Gu Xinyi laughed when she heard this. In both her past and present lives, Gu Xinyi was least afraid of arguing, so she retorted without backing down: "Oh my, look how smug you are! You even slander and defame revolutionary comrades!"
"Someone like you, who loves to gossip and spread rumors behind people's backs, dares to call yourself a revolutionary comrade? Come on, let's go to the village committee right now and have a serious talk with the brigade leader. Let everyone judge for themselves whether I've wronged you or if you're deliberately fabricating rumors to ruin someone else's marriage."
As Gu Xinyi spoke, she pretended to go forward and pull Shen Hongmei, which frightened Shen Hongmei so much that she hid behind Yang Wanqiu.
Upon realizing she was actually going to the village committee, Shen Hongmei's heart pounded. Already feeling a bit apprehensive, she was now in a state of panic.
After all, she knew perfectly well that her words were malicious. If she really took the matter to those experienced and insightful village officials, with her meager skills, she would be showing off her limited abilities and asking for trouble. It would be strange if she got away with it.
In the end, she was just an educated youth from out of town. If the local brigade headquarters were to be alerted, even if the educated youth were not well-liked in the village, the local village officials probably wouldn't stand up for her.
Thinking of this, Shen Hongmei immediately changed her attitude, adopting a condescending and disdainful demeanor, but her tone softened considerably: "Alright, alright, I don't have time to argue with someone like you!"
I'm Wanqiu and Shuning's friend, and I don't want to cause them trouble over such a small matter.
But seriously, lady, you'd better watch your mouth in the future. Don't be so reckless, or you might run into someone you don't want to mess with, and you'll be in for a world of trouble!
Chen Shuning, who was inside the house, suddenly heard Gu Xinyi and Shen Hongmei arguing outside. He was about to get down to help Gu Xinyi.
She had expected a fierce argument, but to her surprise, Shen Hongmei's fighting ability was far less than she remembered, and she was defeated after only a few words.
Chen Shuning felt bored, thinking that if he went out again, given Shen Hongmei's personality, there would definitely be another endless entanglement.
She wasn't afraid of her, but it was freezing cold, and Xin Yi already had a cold. Before Gao Hongyu and Wang Zhi went to visit their relatives, they specifically asked her to take care of Gu Xin Yi. If she caught a bad cold because of arguing for her, she couldn't bear the responsibility.
So Chen Shuning simply stopped wearing shoes, sat back down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and shouted loudly, "Alright, Xinyi, don't bother with that kind of person!"
It's freezing cold and the wind is biting. There's no need for us to argue with her. The important thing is to go inside and warm up. If you get sick because of someone like that, your brother Gao will be heartbroken when he comes back, and I can't bear the consequences.
"Come inside quickly! I've made fruit tea, and also your favorite chestnut cake and red bean pastry. Come in and try them!"
Although Chen Shuning deeply loathed Shen Hongmei, it didn't mean she would easily swallow the injustice and humiliation she had just suffered.
It should be noted that Chen Shuning was not the original owner of this body, who was mentally unstable and incompetent. He also had no childhood friendship with Shen Hongmei, so there was no need for him to be polite to her.
After hearing Gu Xinyi respond and open the door, he immediately shouted, "Shen Hongmei, I advise you to be more careful with your words in the future! I have already made it very clear to you that my relationship with Zhou Weiguo is completely innocent and there is no illicit affair between us."
The reason I no longer want to be friends with you is purely because of your bad character, and it's not as offensive as your nonsense suggests!
If I hear of you spreading rumors about me and Zhou Weiguo again, don't blame me for reporting you directly to the Revolutionary Committee!
At this moment, Chen Shuning didn't care about Shen Hongmei's entanglement anymore. Anyway, she was sitting on the warm kang, drinking sweet fruit tea and eating snacks. Chatting with Shen Hongmei for a while was just a way to pass the time.
As for the two outside, Chen Shuning glanced at the heavy snow that had started falling again outside the window and smiled, saying, "If you're not afraid of the cold, then let's have a little chat."
Gu Xinyi had obviously thought of this as well. After entering the room, she turned around and locked the door. Then, she brushed the snowflakes off her clothes before smiling and going inside.
She said loudly, as if deliberately trying to annoy me, "It's really cold today. Quickly pour me a cup of your fruit tea. You've spoiled me so much these days. I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink that sweet taste every day."
Chen Shuning understood Gu Xinyi's meaning and naturally wouldn't refuse her. He smiled, took a cup, poured her a drink, and said very warmly, "It must be cold outside. Hurry up and get on the kang to warm up."
Shen Hongmei may not be afraid of Gu Xinyi, but her original intention in coming here was to reconcile with Chen Shuning.
Therefore, despite being quite displeased with Chen Shuning's tough attitude, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak up in defense.
"Shuning, you know me. I really didn't mean anything by it back then. I just regretted being blinded by greed and trying to climb up to Brother Weiguo. Love between people of different social standing will never blossom and bear fruit."
It wasn't until I was completely bruised and battered that I realized that a family like Weiguo's was simply beyond the reach of someone like my family.
Shuning, I know that Weiguo's mother has liked you since you were little, which is why she always thinks that if you were the one dating Weiguo back then, his mother would definitely not have objected.
