Sheng Huaian also found a place to stay, leaving only Ye Xinchen, Gu Xi and Zhang Yuejin.
Then we passed by the home of the village accountant: "This is the home of Accountant Zheng in our village.
Accountant Zheng's son just came back from work and asked, "Uncle Xu, why are you here? Come in quickly."
The village chief smiled and replied, "Zi Rong is back. I am helping the new educated youth find a place to live."
Zheng Zirong nodded and called into the house, "Dad, Uncle Xu has brought the new educated youth home."
Accountant Zheng greeted them with a smile, "Come in and have a look. There are four people in our family, two sons. After the eldest son got married, he went to work in the department store in town and only came back during the Chinese New Year. This is my youngest son, Zirong, who is working as a cashier in the factory in town or as a temporary worker.
My wife is away taking care of my eldest son's children, so I cook for the family and we get by. "
Seeing that the family was simple, Ye Xinchen asked, "Can I stay here? I just came to the village and don't know anything, so I can learn. I'm not very good at cooking, but I'm not picky, as long as I'm full, that's fine."
Accountant Zheng also immediately welcomed him: "It's my pleasure. I see you have a good physique. It's a good opportunity for my son to exercise with you."
Ye Xinchen also settled down.
The village chief took Gu Xi and Zhang Yuejin to continue searching. They passed by a relatively old house. Inside the house, a little girl was cleaning the yard by herself. She was dressed neatly and was about 18 years old. Zhang Yuejin beside her suddenly called out, "Wanxi."
The girl sweeping the floor saw him, frowned, greeted the village chief, ignored Zhang Yuejin, turned her back and continued sweeping the floor.
The village chief wanted to tell everyone to leave, but Zhang Yuejin walked into the yard and walked towards the girl. Because he had his back to her, he didn't notice anyone entering the yard. Seeing this, Gu Xi quickly said, "Hey, how can you just walk into someone's house?"
When the little girl heard this, she quickly turned around and saw Zhang Yuejin approaching. She nervously backed away and bumped into the table. She frowned in pain and her eyes turned red.
Zhang Yuejin even approached him deliberately: "How is Wanxi? You were so careless, are you okay?"
Wan Xi wanted to retreat but there was no way, so he held his injured waist and tried to hide to the side.
Zhang Yuejin wanted to get closer, and the little girl felt very scared. Gu Xi couldn't bear it, so she ran over and pulled him away: "You are a man, entering someone's yard without invitation, and why are you getting so close? There is a difference between men and women, and it is the most basic principle to maintain a safe social distance."
When Wan Xi saw Gu Xi helping, she quickly and nervously hid behind her.
Zhang Yuejin saw Gu Xi coming forward. She was beautiful and had good conditions, and was also one of his targets. So he pretended to obey: "I was inconsiderate. I just wanted to say hello. Wan Xi, I'm sorry to bother you."
He looked at Gu Xi again, put on a smile that he thought was handsome, and said innocently, "Is this an apology? I didn't mean it. You're so mean."
Gu Xi almost vomited because of the oil. Suddenly, a man rushed in from outside the door and punched Zhang Yuejin as soon as he entered the door: "Why are you coming to my house? Didn't I warn you? Stay away from my sister. I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
After saying that, he threw another punch. The men in the village are always strong and usually do physical work.
Wan Xi was so scared that tears fell down her cheeks: "Brother, please stop hitting me. I'm fine. This educated youth helped me. He didn't get close to me."
The village chief also rushed into the house and pulled the two apart: "Hey, Wan Hexing, let go quickly, I'm here, he didn't do anything, don't worry."
Wan Hexing then noticed the presence of the village chief and a girl: "Uncle Xu, I saw this bastard just now, but he was so angry that he didn't notice anyone around."
The village chief waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll take the people away first."
The village chief dragged Zhang Yuejin away, but Zhang Yuejin was still not convinced after being beaten: "Village chief, you saw it with your own eyes. I just walked into the house and said hello, and Wan Hexing came in and beat me without saying a word. He must apologize and compensate me."
Wan Hexing was just about to let him go, but when he heard his shameless words, he got angry again: "Bullshit, if you didn't come into my house, how could I beat you? You have bad intentions when a weasel pays New Year's greetings to a chicken."
Zhang Yuejin covered his face and refused to give in: "You have to testify for me. I just said hello. She bumped into the table by herself and I just wanted to help her. You and your friends are uneducated barbarians."
Wan Hexing wanted to beat him up again, but Wan Xi quickly went up to stop him, "Brother, stop it. I was just a coward and bumped into the table myself. Forget it."
Then he looked at Zhang Yuejin with red eyes: "It was my brother who misunderstood today, but it is understandable. Who asked you to come in by yourself? Go away."
Seeing her timid and frightened appearance, Zhang Yuejin wanted to bully her even more: "If you beg for mercy, I will definitely give you face. Then you can apologize to me on behalf of your brother."
Gu Xi was furious as she watched from the side: "You are really an eye-opener, your face is thicker than a city wall. I can testify that you were the one who bullied Wan Xi first, broke into a private house, scared people, and harassed them verbally. Wan Xi felt harassed, and I also think you were harassing her. It's useless for you to argue.
If you still insist on asking for an explanation, go to the village committee or the joint defense team and let everyone judge whether you should be charged with hooliganism. The investigations from above are very strict now, and you can be punished in no time. "
The village chief knew that Gu Xi was trying to help him out, so he quickly cooperated: "The crime of hooliganism is being severely punished now, and it is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Don't make trouble, leave quickly."
Zhang Yuejin himself knew that the crime of hooliganism could result in a decade of imprisonment at the lightest, or even life imprisonment at the worst. Gu Xi was pretty but sharp-tongued, came from a well-off family and knew a lot, so he was no match for her.
"Village chief, let's forget about it for your sake. Let's not bother with the barbarians. Let's go."
Wan Hexing was still angry: "If you have the guts, don't leave. Go up and ask for an explanation."
Gu Xi patted Wan Xi and asked her to hold her brother back and not to get involved. Then he winked at the village chief, who understood and quickly pulled the man away.
Gu Xi sighed and looked at the aggrieved Wan Xi: "Are you okay? Go wash your face and calm down. When you are alone at home in the future, you must keep the gate closed. If someone breaks in again, hide in the house or kitchen first, use a knife or a stick to defend yourself, and then shout for help, understand?"
Wan Xi nodded: "Thank you, I'll remember it."
Wan Hexing saw that Gu Xi helped his sister, and immediately thanked him: "You are the new educated youth, right? My name is Wan Hexing, and my sister is Wan Xi. Thank you for your help today. My sister has been timid since she was a child and doesn't dare to talk to people. The more she is like this, the more she is bullied."
Gu Xi waved her hand: "You're welcome. I'm leaving now. I still need to find a place to live with the village chief. Goodbye."
Wan Xi said softly, "Come to my house when you have time. I will cook for you as a thank you."
Gu Xi smiled and agreed: "Okay."
Wan Hexing was very surprised: "This is incredible. This is the first time I see you take the initiative to speak and invite people to dinner."
Wan Xi felt embarrassed by what her brother said. She glared at him and went to get a towel to wipe her face.
