Meeting Gu An'an's encouraging gaze, Zhou Yue took a deep breath and began to retort.
"You find excrement disgusting? Do you even know that the vegetables, rice, and wheat you eat grow thanks to the excrement you despise?"
"Now that you're going to the countryside, you'll be dealing with those rare fertilizers. Since you're so disgusted by them, how do you plan to work there?"
Zhou Yue covered her mouth in surprise, "You're not planning to go to the countryside to be a pampered young lady, are you? Then who are you going to do your work for? Other educated youth or the villagers? No way! We're not the landlord's long-term laborers, we don't serve a landlord's young lady like you."
As the landlord's daughter landed with a thud, Qin Xue panicked, terrified of being criticized, and cried while trying to explain herself.
"Zhou Yue, don't talk nonsense. I'm not a landlord's daughter! Our Qin family has an upright family background and can withstand the scrutiny of the Party and the State."
Just when I thought Zhou Yue would give up, she continued, "Is it that Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin's education was flawed, or is it that your own thinking is wrong? Otherwise, why would you complain about precious fertilizer? You should know that complaining about precious fertilizer is complaining about the villagers who work hard to grow crops for us, and complaining about yourself who is about to go to the countryside to farm!"
Seeing Zhou Yue elevate excrement and urine to such a high level, the people around her suddenly felt embarrassed not to say something, so they chimed in, "That's right, if it weren't for those natural fertilizers, what would we eat and drink?"
“I think she’s just never experienced hardship. Let her go and experience those famine years and she’ll understand.”
"This young girl is the best. She's beautiful and has a high level of awareness. She's the hope of our country!"
Qin Xue: ......Ahhh! She's going to kill this bitch.
Even though she was inwardly cursing, seeing that everyone was starting to put down her and praise Zhou Yue, Qin Xue could only hold back her anger for the time being, and wait until she got to the village to find a way to get revenge.
Qin Xue said through gritted teeth, "I was wrong. I just thought the toilet smelled bad, I didn't mean to discriminate against farmers."
"No?"
Qin Xue nodded vigorously. She didn't want to be labeled a pampered young lady; it wasn't like she was complaining about having too much of a comfortable life.
"If you say no, then no!"
Although she said that, Zhou Yue's expression clearly told others that she was just agreeing with her out of pity, which was full of sarcasm.
"I need to be more careful about what I say in the future. I shouldn't just say what I think. Not everyone is as nice as me."
After saying this, Zhou Yue looked at Gu An'an with a plea for praise. Although An'an had reminded her of many things, the fact that she was brave enough to say them was progress.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xue almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Zhou Yue was simply going too far.
Bathed in the gazes of those around her, Qin Xue felt utterly humiliated; she had never felt so ashamed in her entire life.
She looked to Xie Yuan for help, but he didn't even glance at her, let alone speak up for her. Furious, she quickly got up and went to the bathroom. She was afraid that if she didn't leave to calm down, she would lose control and attack Zhou Yue.
Putting aside whether Xie Yuan would protect Zhou Yue, Gu An'an was not someone to be trifled with. She really didn't want to end up like that old lady, having intimate contact with excrement and urine.
Qin Xue was immersed in her own world and was about to wash her face to calm down when she didn't notice a fat woman standing next to the sink, frantically washing her face and rinsing her mouth.
Just as she splashed a handful of water on her face, her hair was grabbed.
"You little slut, don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
Qin Xue quickly covered her hair, and upon realizing that the person behind her was not someone she knew, she immediately asked, "Let go!"
The plump auntie was the one who had been disciplined by Gu An'an. Ever since Gu An'an left, she had been constantly scrubbing and cleaning this place, but no matter how she washed it, she still felt there was a strange smell.
Feeling down, Qin Xue squeezed in to wash her face, and sure enough, she ran right into the line of fire.
Both of them were furious and wanted to vent their anger, and a big fight was about to break out.
In general, when women fight, they pull each other's hair. Qin Xue was thinner than the fat woman and had her hair down, so she lost her chance of winning.
Even after the train police separated the two, they continued to hurl insults at each other, showing no intention of reconciliation whatsoever.
Half an hour had passed when Qin Xue returned with her hair all messed up.
Xie Yuan frowned at Qin Xue's "outfit," "What's wrong?"
Qin Xue was like a wronged child who had found someone to confide in. "I wanted to wash my face, but I ran into a crazy fat woman who started hitting me for no reason. Brother Yuan, why don't you go and help me?"
Xie Yuan did hear the commotion over there, but his mind was preoccupied with how the village could win Zhou Yue's heart, so he didn't bother with such trivial matters.
"If she hits you, won't you run away?"
Qin Xue stopped crying. Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan not only did not comfort her, but also seemed to be blaming her for making trouble for no reason.
"She came up and grabbed my hair, and I couldn't run away."
Feeling annoyed and unwilling to listen to these things, Xie Yuan said again, "If you can't beat them, admitting your mistake is better than making a mess of things like this."
Not only were her hair and clothes a mess, but her neck also had several scratches. This was only because Qin Xue desperately protected her face; otherwise...
Qin Xue felt a sense of unfamiliarity when she looked at Xie Yuan like this. If it were Zhou Yue who had been beaten, would he have rushed over to settle accounts with that old woman long ago?
Definitely.
The more Qin Xue thought about it, the sadder she became. She simply sat down in her seat without saying a word, and later even lay down and sobbed silently.
It wasn't that she didn't want to cry loudly, but she knew Xie Yuan liked gentle and tender girls, and of course, she didn't want Zhou Yue to see her make a fool of herself.
Zhou Yue and Gu An'an exchanged a glance. "Why do I feel like the person she's talking about is the one you cleaned up?"
Gu An'an nodded. She had noticed the conflict when it started, but what did it have to do with her?
Seeing that Gu An'an had admitted it, Zhou Yue's eyes lit up. "What a coincidence."
What a coincidence! She and An'an's defeated rival met again in another setting and even got into a fight. If only she had known, she would have squeezed over to watch the show.
"Oh dear! Why didn't we go check it out earlier?"
What a pity! I slap my thigh in frustration.
Qin Xue paused when she heard her partner sobbing, then started crying again a few seconds later, only this time the sound was much louder than before.
When it was time to rest, the sound of snoring gradually filled the carriage.
"An'an, you go to sleep first."
Zhou Yue wasn't that she didn't want to sleep, but everything that had happened today had excited her so much that she wasn't sleepy at all. So she volunteered to take turns sleeping and watching the luggage.
Gu An'an didn't argue with her. Anyway, she was used to it in her previous life. She could detect any disturbance and wasn't afraid of petty thieves at all.
Three hours later, a heavy weight was placed on her shoulder. When Gu An'an opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Yue's head resting on her shoulder.
Just as she was about to go back to sleep, she suddenly saw two familiar faces diagonally opposite her.
Huh? Why are they in this carriage again? Could it be...?
