"Bullshit! I'm much richer than you. My family sends me money every month. Who cares about your little money?"
"I don't care. I have to see it today. If you don't feel guilty, just open it and let me see!"
Xie Tang advised from the side: "Xue Qing, you don't have to feel guilty about something you haven't done. Let her see it, otherwise if it gets out of hand, it will be bad for the reputation of the educated youth."
Xue Qing reluctantly opened the locked cabinet and started rummaging through it in front of everyone.
Luo Mei wanted to take action, but Xue Qing pushed her away. "Just watch. Can I really hide under your nose?"
"Are you satisfied now? I said I didn't take it, so I didn't take it."
Luo Mei was very annoyed and turned her gaze to Shen Zhaodi.
Shen Zhaodi trembled and moved in front of her luggage bag.
She didn't even dare to look Luo Mei in the eye, and only whispered, "I didn't take it. I don't have any."
As soon as Luo Mei saw Shen Zhaodi's actions, it was obvious that she had something to hide.
Pushing her away without explanation, the frail Shen Zhaodi could not withstand the powerful push from the angry Luo Mei.
Shen Zhaodi, who was pushed to the ground, no longer had the courage to stop Luo Mei.
Luo Mei rudely opened Shen Zhaodi's unlocked box. Inside, besides a few patched old clothes, there was actually a can of malted milk.
"Chen Zhaodi, you still say it wasn't you? Where did you get the money to buy malted milk? You thief!"
"It's not me! It's not me! I didn't steal it!" Shen Zhaodi denied it repeatedly, but her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"You came with me, your clothes were patched, and you were so poor that you had to borrow even a few cents for seasoning. How could you get the money to buy malted milk?"
Luo Mei kept questioning, but the cowardly Shen Zhaodi didn't know how to explain and just kept saying it wasn't her.
Xue Qing stood aside and just watched impatiently.
Xie Tang, who has always been a caring elder sister, just watched quietly from the side this time.
"You must have stolen my money, you thief! Give me back my money."
As she spoke, Luo Mei started to attack Shen Zhaodi.
Shen Zhaodi curled up her body, protecting her head and crying.
Xie Tang curled the corners of her mouth subtly, then stepped forward to stop Luo Mei, but Luo Mei was too strong and she couldn't stop him for a while.
The noise became louder and louder, and Su Cheng hesitated at the door and didn't dare to go in.
Although Xu Zhiyi was in the kitchen with Gan Tiantian, she heard the whole thing with her sensitive ears.
The other people in the dormitory watched coldly as Shen Zhaodi was beaten, and Xu Zhiyi felt extremely uncomfortable listening to it.
He dropped the firewood in his hand, turned around and walked out quickly.
Gan Tiantian hurriedly followed Xu Zhiyi.
He walked into the room where the trouble was happening, pulled Luo Mei over, and spoke in an extremely cold voice.
"Stop hitting me! This malted milk isn't hers. She's at work all day, where can she buy it?"
"Then where did she come from?" The pain in her arm made her a little more sober.
"Chen Zhaodi, where did you get this dress? If you don't explain it clearly today, do you want to bear the crime of being a thief for the rest of your life?"
Xu Zhiyi was in a bad mood, and his voice was not as calm as usual.
Gan Tiantian came in later and silently helped up Shen Zhaodi, whose clothes were disheveled and in a mess.
Hearing what Xu Zhiyi said, Gan Tiantian felt Shen Zhaodi's body become stiff.
All I heard was Shen Zhaodi's timid voice, "It was sent by Zhou Shuan from the village."
"Why would he send you?"
“…”
Shen Zhaodi lowered her head and said nothing.
"Then go call Zhou Shuan and ask him, and you'll know why." Xu Zhiyi made the conclusion for her first.
Gan Tiantian understood immediately.
He turned around and went to find Su Cheng at the door. He must know who Zhou Shuan was.
Zhou Shuan is from Xiangyang Village. He was picked up by Grandma Zhou, and the two depended on each other for survival.
Later, Grandma Zhou died of old age and illness, leaving him alone.
Zhou Shuan has a bad reputation.
He has a bad temper and is always ready to fight. He is a scoundrel and often hangs out with some hooligans from other villages.
When the villagers saw him, he was often injured. As time went by, no one dared to approach him.
When Grandma Zhou was alive, he would be more reserved. But later, when he was alone, I rarely saw him working.
He had a bad reputation in the surrounding area. At the age of twenty-three or twenty-four, he was poor and no one dared to marry their daughter to him.
But he is so good, he is lazy all day long, and if he eats well, the whole family will not be hungry.
The village chief has no control over this person. He is a sensible person. As long as the villagers don't provoke him, he won't cause trouble for them.
What else can I do? I just turn a blind eye.
After all, Aunt Zhou asked him to take care of the child before she died.
Zhou Shuan lay on the bed with his legs crossed, planning to go drink with his brothers from the next village while it was still daylight.
"Zhou Shuan! Zhou Shuan! Are you home? I have something urgent to talk to you about."
Su Cheng was running in hurriedly outside the door.
Zhou Shuan kicked his shoes and walked out of the house with a sullen look on his face. "What do you want from me?"
"Do you know Shen Zhaodi, the educated young woman? She's in trouble!"
Su Cheng was about to take a breath and tell what happened when he saw that the person who was at the door just now was gone.
All that was left was the unstable door shaking.
"I haven't finished yet..."
Zhou Shuan didn't care about so many things. He just wanted to know what happened to the little girl who was more timid than a rabbit that made her come to him.
Every time she saw him, his eyes would turn red before he even spoke, as if he was bullying her.
It really left him speechless and helpless.
Zhou Shuan ran into the courtyard of the educated youth camp, grabbed Shen Dahai and asked, "Which dormitory is Shen Zhaodi in?"
Shen Dahai was startled by the person who came in. Without thinking too much, he pointed at the open door.
Zhou Shuan ran in and looked around for the person he was looking for.
He looked Shen Zhaodi up and down, only her eyes were red and her hair was a little messy, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He put on a nonchalant and unserious look and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Chen Zhaodi said that you gave her this malted milk, is that right?" Luo Mei asked impatiently.
Zhou Shuan raised his eyebrows and said venomously, "Whether it was sent by me or not is none of your business!"
"How come it's none of my business? She stole my money!"
"You're talking nonsense! She's quite capable just because she can come up with some money! Those things were given to her by me! With how much money can you have, even a mouse wouldn't even want to think about it."
Zhou Shuan attacks people with poisonous words and indiscriminately.
"Comrade Zhou, please be careful with your words! This concerns Zhaodi's reputation. Don't speak carelessly. Having casual sex is against the law."
Xie Tang kindly advised from the side, and his words were truly for the two of them.
"Tsk! I'm dating Shen Zhiqing, so what's wrong with giving her something? You're really meddling in other people's business."
Zhou Shuan did not have a good face towards the two female educated youth who kept talking to them.
Xie Tang's face turned pale and red.
