Chapter 56: Accepting Defeat
With a father like him supporting her from behind, she is not afraid that this man will not be punished enough!
The villagers also began to shout in unison: "Carry the turtle! Carry the turtle! Carry the turtle!"
Zhou Yi's face was ashen at this moment, as if he had lost his parents.
If he had been so high-spirited and ambitious at the beginning, he would have won the admiration of so many local young women in Qianjin Village and the female educated youth who went to the countryside with him.
Now he received the same amount of contemptuous looks.
After this test for selecting tractor drivers, Zhou Yi felt like he had slapped himself hard in the face.
This slap was enough to let everyone see whether Zhou Yi was a promising young man or a scum among the ranks of educated young people.
And Zhou Zheng is the man who deserves the admiration and respect of the whole village.
He had never attended a single day of school, but he could still recognize so many Chinese characters and even developed beautiful handwriting.
This was the key to his getting first place in the exam.
No matter how reluctant Zhou Yi was, what he said could not be taken away.
So he had to stick a turtle that someone had drawn with a brush on his back.
That night, Zhou Yi carried the paper with the turtle on it and walked around Qianjin Village.
A group of village children followed him, shouting in a lively manner:
"Turtle! Turtle!"
The other adults also laughed along.
Many people also followed Zhou Yi, as if they were acting as supervisors.
I'm afraid men will be lazy.
The village, regardless of gender, age or status, was more lively than during the Spring Festival.
Some people also said to Zhou Zhengdao:
"You're going to be famous this time, kid!
I didn't expect you to have such a skill. I really underestimated you before."
The person who said this was the old party secretary of the village.
Although he is no longer the Party branch secretary, he is still considered a person with a strong sense of justice.
He did not agree with Zhou Yi being punished to carry a turtle on his back.
So he said to Liu Yu:
"Girl, that's enough, forgive others when you can.
What do you think?
The old branch secretary is kind-hearted and can't bear to see others being bullied and treated as a laughing stock by others.
But Liu Yu said something to stop the old branch secretary from speaking.
She blinked and said, "If it was Zhou Zheng, would anyone else let him go? Would Zhou Yi let him go?"
After these words were spoken, the old branch secretary was speechless.
It’s not that Liu Yu is unwilling to let Zhou Yi go.
He had bad intentions from the beginning, thinking he had a sure win.
I will definitely win this exam.
So he accepted the bet, and since he had accepted it, he had to accept the loss.
Even if his self-esteem was hurt and he was looked down upon, it was his own fault.
Can't blame anyone.
Therefore, Zhou Yi had to carry the turtle around the village, which was something he had to endure.
Chen Gang was so angry that he kept shaking his head.
They are all educated youth.
When Zhou Yi was in his prime, he didn't benefit from him at all.
Now that he is treated like this, he can’t blame the villagers for not giving him face.
He wanted to humiliate others, but ended up humiliating himself.
As for the other two female educated youth, they were Yang Xiaoqing and Xie Ying.
Xie Ying didn't want to see this scene and went back early.
Yang Xiaoqing also followed behind her, and they went back one after the other.
When they entered the educated youth compound, Yang Xiaoqing asked Xie Ying:
"Why don't you speak up for him?"
"How can I help? Can't you see? Liu Yu is deliberately trying to make trouble for him."
Xie Ying turned around and said unhappily.
She must go to Liu Yu to find out whether he is taking the opportunity to retaliate against Zhou Yi.
