"Believe it or not, if you go out and ask around right now, there are at least seven or eight versions of the story about yesterday's drowning incident in the village!"
"Each one is definitely more outrageous than the last!"
Rumors are not based on facts!
In modern times, there is a saying that "the game starts with a picture and the content is all made up."
There are so many outrageous stories!
What's more, in this day and age, villagers can distort the smallest things beyond recognition.
Just seeing a clip makes you make up stories!
Since yesterday, the educated youth must have focused their attention on today's recruitment exam.
The educated youth's residence was far away from the villagers, so the educated youth certainly did not hear the rumors in the village about the drowning incident yesterday.
Xu Nanxing and Zhang Luyao had just returned to the village not long ago. After returning, they either went to the educated youth site or returned to the Ye family, so they had not heard the rumors in the village.
But Xu Nanxing was sure that yesterday's drowning incident was so serious that two female educated youth fell in first and were then rescued by two male educated youth.
There were so many villagers watching at that time. For a rural area with a lack of entertainment, this kind of thought-provoking news must have been an explosive event.
There will definitely be a lot of speculation and rumors.
It’s just that they haven’t heard it yet!
But it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Xu Nanxing continued, "If you don't tell the truth and let others exaggerate and make up nonsense, then the right to interpret the matter will not be in our hands in the end."
"Only if we tell the truth can we stop those messy rumors!"
Chen Jiaxin also understood. She really didn't have the energy to inquire about the new gossip in the village these two days.
So I didn't expect that the incident of falling into the water yesterday would be exaggerated in such a way by those aunties in the village who like to add fuel to the fire.
It involves men and women, people falling into the water, and people rescuing people, so there must be a lot of gossip flying around!
If none of the educated youth came out to refute the rumors!
If the rumors become more and more outrageous, it may be impossible to explain them!
Thinking of this, Chen Jiaxin also felt that she should come forward and tell the truth of the matter.
"Well, I'll go find the aunties I'm familiar with and explain the whole story to them so that the villagers won't spread rumors."
Seeing that Chen Jiaxin was being talked about, Xu Nanxing immediately said happily, "That's right! Let's present facts and reason! Let's speak with facts, not nonsense. This will be good for everyone!"
"Well, I'll go with you later! When we talk, we don't need to say too much, just get to the point! First, we want to clarify the truth about yesterday's drowning, second, to bring Gu Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing together, and third, to help Zhang Zhiqing get out of his emotional predicament! So, we're killing three birds with one stone!"
Chen Jiaxin felt that she was not going to spread rumors, but was going to do a great thing, and she was very happy!
Then Xu Nanxing excitedly followed Chen Jiaxin to visit the homes of those aunts who were on good terms with her.
The reason why the auntie has such a good relationship with the little girl Chen Jiaxin this time is entirely because they have a common hobby, which is gossip!
Gossip is human nature, but Chen Jiaxin is the only one in the entire educated youth camp who loves to watch the fun and listen to gossip!
Therefore, Chen Jiaxin is also the most popular one among the educated youth in the village, and the one who is best informed!
The first place Chen Jiaxin took Xu Nanxing to was Accountant Li's house. She had previously had a conflict with Li Xiaoyu about her cousin Li Fuyong, but they reconciled later.
But because the two are of similar age and can get along well, their relationship has always been good!
On the way, Xu Nanxing asked curiously, "Does Li Xiaoyu know about the job recruitment? Did she go there today?"
Chen Jiaxin curled her lips and said, "She went there this morning too, bringing some other girls with her. But in the end, none of them were selected because the factory only recruited male workers!"
Xu Nanxing was a little worried: "Accountant Li had a hard time at the educated youth camp before. If we go to his house now, won't we be kicked out?"
Chen Jiaxin didn't care: "Then let's go to the second one!"
Xu Nanxing: ...You are quite open-minded!
"No, then why don't we just go to the second one?"
"You don't understand. Li Xiaoyu is the most informed person in the village! We can get twice the result with half the effort if we ask her first!"
I understand. It would be easier to find out from Li Xiaoyu, a villager, than from Chen Jiaxin, the educated youth!
Finally, when the two of them arrived at Accountant Li's house, Accountant Li did not drive them away. He just glanced at them and ignored them.
So the two of them met Li Xiaoyu smoothly.
Li Xiaoyu was already unhappy because she failed the job recruitment exam this morning, so she was not interested when she saw Chen Jiaxin and Xu Nanxing.
When Chen Jiaxin saw Li Xiaoyu, she got straight to the point and asked, "Xiaoyu, you came back early today. Do you know if there are any rumors in the village about the educated youth who fell into the water yesterday?"
Xu Nanxing: ...Why did you mention that he came back early? Didn't you remind him that he didn't even pass the written test?
As expected, Li Xiaoyu's face turned even uglier after hearing this, and she pursed her lips. However, she still said in the end, "There are so many rumors!"
He glanced at Xu Nanxing beside him and asked, "Is she also an educated youth? Why haven't I seen her before?"
Li Xiaoyu had indeed never seen Xu Nanxing. She had never seen this female educated youth, whether at the educated youth site, in the fields, or when the aunts and sisters gathered together to gossip.
So now I have this question.
When Li Xiaoyu asked, Chen Jiaxin remembered that she hadn't introduced them to each other yet!
He pointed at Xu Nanxing and said, "Her name is Xu Nanxing. She is indeed an educated youth, but she moved away from the educated youth site a while ago. She now lives in the Ye family, the home of Ye Tian and Ye Yu. She usually goes to the mountains to pick grass for pigs, so you two haven't met her yet."
Then he turned to Xu Nanxing and said, "Hey, this is Li Xiaoyu, the one I often mentioned to you. She and I have the best relationship!"
Xu Nanxing: ...If I hadn’t seen you two quarreling in person, I wouldn’t have known that you two were just fake sisters!
Although she thought so in her heart, she still smiled and said, "Hello! I often hear Jiaxin mention you. My name is Xu Nanxing!"
Li Xiaoyu also said: "Hello to you too!"
Chen Jiaxin urged, "Okay, stop asking questions! Tell us now, have there been any rumors circulating in the village about the drowning incident yesterday?"
"This..." Seeing Chen Jiaxin and Xu Nanxing staring at her with piercing eyes, Li Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "There are so many rumors in the village about someone falling into the water!"
"Some say a young woman who was educated in education committed suicide because she had an affair with someone and got pregnant. The man refused to take responsibility."
