The food was already on the table, and the aroma of the food wafted through the air. Everyone waited patiently for a while, and Zhang Guihua frowned and said, "Why haven't your father and third brother come back yet? Eldest brother, go and check on them."
"Liu Yun, go to the kitchen and get two bowls. Leave some food for them; we'll eat first," Zhang Guihua called out.
After a long day of work, smelling the aroma of food but not being able to eat it is pure torture.
Liu Yun quickly went to the kitchen, grabbed two bowls, scooped out some vegetables, and then looked at her mother-in-law expectantly.
Seeing the children staring intently at the food, Zhang Guihua picked up her chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first!"
Everyone else ate quickly as usual, and Yunling, unlike her slow pace in the morning, quickly picked up some food and put it in her bowl before eating slowly.
"Mom, a fight broke out at the educated youth settlement?" Qin Shan ran back, his face flushed, and said breathlessly.
Yunling also heard the "Gossip System's" voice in her mind: [Ding! Mission: Please go to the educated youth settlement to gossip.]
Zhang Guihua asked curiously, "What happened?"
Everyone except the children looked up, and Yunling even sped up her eating; she wanted to go and watch the drama unfold.
Oh my, I'm so excited!
Qin Shan sat down, drank half a bowl of water in one gulp, and then said, panting, "It was two female educated youths who got into a fight. Fang, an educated youth, lost money that she had put in the cabinet and said that Chen, an educated youth, had stolen it. The two started arguing, and then they started fighting."
"Who stole it?" Yunling asked.
"No, they were still arguing when I left. My dad is investigating what happened," Qin Shan said, rubbing his nose.
Yunling finished eating quickly, put down her chopsticks, and looked at her mother-in-law with bright eyes, asking expectantly, "Mother?"
Zhang Guihua waved her hand: "Go if you want to. Tell your dad and third son to come back early, the food is getting cold."
“Mom, I’m going too,” Qin Tiantian said immediately.
Liu Yun glanced at her mother-in-law furtively and said cautiously, "I want to go too."
Zhang Guihua said impatiently, "Your legs are your own, you can go whenever you want."
Qin Tiantian smiled and led Yunling outside, with Liu Yun and Wang Xiuxiu following behind. Qin Tao held Qin Yan's hand and chattered away.
Normally, everyone works hard in the fields, with little entertainment, and life is peaceful. Suddenly, there's something exciting to see, so who wouldn't want to go?
The group walked briskly, as if on a picnic, and soon arrived at the educated youth settlement, where a crowd had gathered at the entrance.
As soon as Yun Ling arrived, Zhao Chunyan, who was on the periphery, shouted, "Yun Zhiqing has arrived! Everyone, please make way so that if anyone gets bumped or hurt, we won't be the ones to blame."
Everyone knew that Yunling was sickly, so they all made way for her.
Zhao Chunyan raised an eyebrow, patted Yun Ling's shoulder, and said meaningfully, "Yun, you should go in quickly! You are one of the educated youth."
Yunling: "Thank you then."
He pulled Qin Tiantian and squeezed inside. The educated youth settlement wasn't big. It used to be a landlord's courtyard, but it had fallen into disrepair and was dilapidated. The team repaired it and let the educated youth move in.
There are two main rooms and one kitchen. There are currently five female educated youth and four male educated youth.
Fang Yuyan and Zhao Qing'er, two female educated youths, and Jiang Fan and Song Chi, two male educated youths, were the educated youths who went to the countryside with Yunling this time.
As soon as Yunling entered, she saw a girl in a white shirt with red eyes. It was Chen Rong, an older educated youth. Two male educated youths were quietly comforting her, while an angry female educated youth, Fang Yuyan, stood opposite her.
On the other side, the brigade leader Qin Baoguo was talking to a male educated youth, who was gesturing from time to time.
Yunling's eyes darted around, and she saw Qin Chuan sitting leisurely under a tree, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
She pulled Qin Tiantian over and sat down next to him. From there, she could see Chen Rong crying softly, her face streaked with tears, looking so pitiful.
Look, the two male educated youths next to him look distressed.
Yunling glanced at Qin Chuan, their eyes met, and Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow at her.
Yunling smiled, beckoned, and moved closer to him, saying, "Mother wants you and Father to go home for dinner early."
Qin Chuan nodded: "It will probably take a while."
Just as Yunling was about to speak, a quarrel broke out on the other end.
"Fang Yuyan, that's enough! You say Chen Zhiqing stole it, but you have no evidence. We searched the whole place and couldn't find it. What more do you want? You always bully Chen Zhiqing, making her do this and that for you. Now you're even falsely accusing her of swindling money. Don't go too far!" Tian Gang, standing next to Chen Rong, said righteously.
Fang Yuyan was also furious. She pointed a trembling finger at Chen Rong and said loudly, "We've been outside all day. She was the only one at the educated youth settlement. If she didn't steal it, who did?"
Chen Rong shook her head, her eyes red, and sobbed, "It really wasn't me, I didn't take it..."
Fang Yuyan chuckled coldly, her face expressionless.
Chen Rong clutched the hem of her clothes, shook her head, and said with red eyes, "Really...it wasn't me."
Tian Gang felt extremely sorry for her when he saw her like this. Looking at Fang Yuyan, he felt that she was a despicable person who was wronging an innocent person. He mocked, "Enough. There is no evidence. Why do you say that Chen Zhiqing stole it? I knew you were jealous of Chen Zhiqing. Maybe you secretly hid the money and deliberately smeared Chen Zhiqing."
Fang Yuyan stomped her foot in anger, and seeing Tian Gang's smug and self-righteous look, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
Tian Gang was slightly taken aback. He had been hit by a woman, and in front of the person he liked no less.
Ugh! I'm so angry!
He was hit by a woman, and she hit him in the face.
He clenched his fist in anger, staring intently at Fang Yuyan with eyes as fierce as a wolf.
