Can't you two have any shame at such a young age? If it weren't for me, would you two have walked out unscathed? I should have just ignored you two ungrateful wretches.
As she spoke, she spat fiercely at the two of them.
Seemingly unable to contain her anger after thinking about it, she still told the truth.
"And Queen Qingqing, I thought you were a little girl, and I thought you must have been scared and panicked when that old beggar grabbed you, which is why you did that."
Now it seems that's not the case. You just wanted to drag me down with you, that's why you're clinging to me so tightly, right? Otherwise, with my skills, how could I have been held back by that old beggar?
As soon as she said this, everyone around her became very curious and started asking what was going on.
"You all wouldn't believe it, would you? A girl this young could have such a ruthless mind!"
At first, Zhu, the educated youth, was stopped by the old beggar. Then I pulled her out, and the old beggar then aimed at Wang, the educated youth, and yanked her over.
When I went to pull him again, the old beggar was already holding him in his arms.
Zhu Zhiqing was useless and couldn't help at all. Seeing that I couldn't pull her away in a few tries, she just hugged me, which is how I got caught by the old beggar for a while..."
Widow Wang had a decent reputation in the village, and since she was also from their own team, while Zhu Pandi and Wang Lan didn't have good reputations, everyone immediately knew who to believe.
"Tsk, so-called educated youth, going to the countryside to help farmers? I never expected educated youth to be like this, they've really opened our eyes!"
"That's right, there aren't many good people in this educated youth settlement!"
Ding Yuzhen and Xing Chunhua happened to be among them and, upon hearing them say that educated youth were bad, immediately spoke up to refute them.
“Hey—we can’t generalize and condemn everyone. Little Zhu and Little Si are great, aren’t they? They really came to help us. Look how long they’ve been here and they’ve already helped us make money.”
"Yes, yes, we can't condemn all educated youth at once, or we'll disappoint the two young educated youths."
At this point, the others realized what was happening and readily agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes, but we can't count Xiao Zhu and Xiao Si, the educated youths."
"Of course we can't count them. You see, those two definitely don't like this group of people, so they've both moved out to live separately. That's why we didn't include those two young educated youths in our count at all."
"Yes, yes, the educated youth we're talking about are specifically the group at the educated youth settlements, not including Zhu and Xiao Si."
"..."
The villagers chattered and compared the two, making Wang Lan and Zhu Pandi pale with rage. They wished they could tear the pair they were comparing to to pieces.
They can have bad reputations, and everyone can have bad reputations together, but why, why must two people with good reputations be chosen to highlight their bad reputations?!
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian never expected that even though they weren't even there, they would still be resented by Wang Lan and Zhu Pandi.
Of course, even if the two of them knew, they wouldn't care too much.
Hold a grudge, then. If there's any action, deal with it. If there's no real action, holding a grudge won't hurt you.
