Chapter 20 Rules of riding an oxcart



"That's right. Zhang Zhiqing didn't say anything. Why are you barking like a dog? What does it have to do with you? Does it show your ability? Ugly people often do weird things. They don't know what they are doing." Li Li returned the ugly words Zhao Guihua had used to scold her to her without any change.

Zhao Guihua was furious. She was from the city, yet she was scolded by a village woman. It was clearly her who had taken the position by force, and it was clearly her fault. Zhao Guihua wanted to scold Li Li, but Zhang Meihua covered her mouth tightly.

He Aiguo and Xu Jianan, two male educated youth, were also troubled when they saw Zhao Guihua like this. They both thought she was embarrassing. If it weren't for the fact that they were both educated youth, they would have wanted to turn around and leave.

"Sister-in-law, I'm very sorry. Zhao Zhiqing is an impulsive person. I hope you don't mind. The rule of the ox cart is first come first served, and we naturally abide by it. This seat should indeed be occupied by you." After Xu Jianan finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Jiang Shushu, hoping that Jiang Shushu would help them, the educated youth, to reconcile with the villagers for his sake and not make the relationship so awkward.

Jiang Shushu felt a gaze on him, looked up, and saw Xu Jianan's eyes with a hint of pleading.

Jiang Shushu ignored him, pretending not to notice. He turned his head back and continued to sit on the oxcart and watch the show. What did the affairs of the Youth House have to do with him? Why did he have to speak up and offend others? Xu Jianan's wishful thinking was really beautiful. He had ignored the original owner before, and the only smile he gave was reluctant. Now that he needed the original owner, he was so embarrassed?

Xu Jianan hadn't expected Jiang Shushu to be so disrespectful. Didn't this Jiang Shushu like him? Who wouldn't even do a small favor? No, the way she'd looked at him just now wasn't loving at all. Could it be that she didn't like him anymore? But he was so handsome, right? Xu Jianan looked up at Jiang Shushu again and found her absorbed in the drama, not even glancing at him. Thinking about how Jiang Shushu hadn't been at the Youth Hostel for several days, Xu Jianan had to believe that Jiang Shushu wasn't playing hard to get, but genuinely didn't like him anymore.

Do likes and dislikes come and go quickly? To be honest, Xu Jianan felt a little disappointed. When Jiang Shushu liked him, he'd been bothered and pretended not to understand. And when she suddenly stopped liking him, he felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that his charm couldn't even seduce a village girl?

Xu Jianan unconsciously touched his face and it felt rougher than before. He must have gotten tanned from working so hard recently.

Seeing Zhao Guihua's anger and unwillingness, Li Li was also very unhappy. "Why are you apologizing for her? Does she have no mouth? Or does she have no brains? Look at her face, does she look like she knows she's wrong? I really didn't check the almanac before going out today, and I ran into a crazy woman. It's my bad luck."

Zhang Meihua was in such a state that she knew it was impossible for Zhao Guihua to apologize. She could only pray in her heart that Li Li and the others would leave quickly. If they didn't leave, she really wouldn't be able to stop Zhao Guihua.

Li Li saw Zhao Guihua jumping up and down in anger, wanting to scold herself but unable to, wanting to hit herself but unable to, and she finally calmed down a little.

Li Li turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle Eight, everyone is here, we can set off, we have been delayed for several minutes." She finally got a day off, and she couldn't let Zhao Guihua affect her mood to go shopping in the city.

"Okay, sit tight, let's go." Uncle Jiang raised the whip lightly and tapped the cow's butt gently. The force was so strong that even the cow would dislike being tickled.

The ox cart moved forward slowly, leaving the four educated youths looking at each other in bewilderment.

The ox cart had gone a long way, but Jiang Shushu could still hear Zhao Guihua's roar.

"Zhang Meihua, why are you stopping me?" There was a sense of grievance in the voice.

Zhang Meihua was also angry. She had been kicked several times by Zhao Guihua because she had stopped her. She was in pain now. She didn't expect that when she let go of Zhao Guihua, she would have the nerve to yell at her, "Why did I stop you? Don't you have any idea? Don't you see what you have done?" Their Youth League Institute was about to be badly harmed by this idiot.

"I'm not wrong. It's clearly Li Li who's wrong. None of you three helped me. We're all educated youth. Why did I do this? I just wanted the villagers to think we educated youth are not easy to bully. But in the end, I'm the only one left looking like a clown."

Xu Jianan's face darkened. "That's enough. If you want the three of us to help you, you have to be right! How can we help you if you keep making such unreasonable demands? The captain has told us about the rules of riding in ox carts since the first day we arrived at Hualing Brigade. There are many people but few carts, so the competition is fierce. Riding in an ox cart is first come, first served. Whoever touches the cart first gets to sit. It's a local custom, don't you understand? The more than 1,000 people in Hualing Brigade can abide by this rule. What makes you think that four of us outsiders can change this rule?"

Zhao Guihua lowered her head and said nothing. Could she say that she hadn't paid attention to what the captain said when she first arrived? She had completely forgotten the rules of riding in an oxcart.

Xu Aiguo, who usually looked down on Zhao Guihua's loud temper, also spoke up. He didn't want Zhao Guihua to bring trouble to the Youth League Institute, and thought that if he didn't teach Zhao Guihua a lesson, she would go to hell.

"Zhao Guihua, don't blame others for speaking harshly. You were the one who spoke harshly first. I heard that Li Li hates being called ugly the most, but you just walked right into their sight. You're lucky they didn't hit you. Don't you see where this is? Is this the kind of place you can throw a tantrum? Li Li was born and raised in the Hualing Brigade. To put it bluntly, the entire brigade is her relative. Her relatives could drown you with a single spit."

When Zhao Guihua heard what He Aiguo said, she felt scared, afraid that Li Li would retaliate against her. "Then what should I do? I didn't listen carefully to what the captain said when I first arrived, and I forgot the rules of riding in the ox cart."

The other three: "..." Forgot? You didn't even listen!

He Aiguo said angrily, "What else can I do? Wait until Li Li comes back and go apologize." You're not going to apologize? Are you waiting for others to cause trouble for our Youth Home? Everyone has their own consequences. You should solve the trouble you caused yourself. I don't want to pay for your mistakes.

Zhao Guihua felt embarrassed at the thought of being asked to apologize, but thinking about her future life, she nodded and said, "I understand. I'll apologize when Li Li comes back."

Then the four of them turned around and went back to the Youth League Home, because no one was in the mood to go shopping in the city anymore, they were so annoyed.
