Soon, the news that Zhou Yue had been arrested spread throughout the village.
Everyone looked at Tang Meilan with wariness.
Tang Meilan tugged at Aunt Wang's sleeve and said, "Aunt, what's going on? Why are people looking at me so strangely?"
When those people met Tang Meilan's gaze, they quickly lowered their heads.
After Tang Meilan looked away, he stared at her and whispered.
"Don't you know? Everyone's saying it was because Zhou Yue cut up your clothes and you reported it to the police, so they arrested her."
Tang Meilan felt extremely aggrieved. It was clearly her own fault, so what did it have to do with him?
She slept peacefully last night and got up early this morning to go to work. Who has time to take care of her?
Su Qing met Tang Meilan at the foot of Dahei Mountain.
The little girl sat alone on the ground, sighing towards the sky.
Su Qing wanted to skip it, but Tang Meilan's sobbing was heard behind him.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Su Qing asked.
Tang Meilan raised her head and cried, "Everyone says I'm petty. They say I'm mean and scheming because I reported a damaged piece of clothing to the police."
After asking about what happened, Su Qing didn't want to pay any more attention to it when he heard it was related to Zhou Yue.
"Stay away from Zhou Yue from now on. It's not that you're afraid of her, but there's no need to waste time on someone like her."
Tang Meilan looked at Su Qing in surprise: "Do you hate Zhou Yue too?"
Is it annoying? I think it is really annoying.
Su Qing nodded.
Tang Meilan jumped up and down as if she had found money, "Great, finally I'm not the only one who hates her.
I tell you, she's a very pretentious person, always pretending to be weak, and many superficial men fall for it."
Tang Meilan seemed to have found an outlet and started to attack Su Qing crazily.
Finally, he concluded: "So Zhou Yue is really not a good person, don't get close to her."
So what? Is the point whether Zhou Yue is a good person?
The key is to find out why Zhou Yue was put in jail and prove his innocence.
"Don't worry about it for now, and don't get into conflict with the villagers. The village chief should hold a meeting to clarify things."
"Okay, my name is Tang Meilan, what's your name?"
"Su Qing."
"Okay, then we'll be friends from now on."
Fortunately, the village chief convened a meeting in the afternoon, using Zhou Yue as a negative example and severely reprimanding the villagers and educated youth.
“I know that you educated youth may not have experienced any hardship before going to the countryside, and you may not be able to accept the life and labor intensity in the village all at once, but this is not a reason for you to run away.
If you're caught, you'll end up like Zhou Yue: either serving time in jail or paying the fine. We village officials won't go to town to redeem you, so you should consider your own financial resources before you act.
Although the misunderstanding about Tang Meilan was resolved, Tang Meilan was more or less wary of the villagers and the educated youth living under the same roof, but she slowly opened her heart to Su Qing.
Half a month later~
Zhou Yue was escorted back by the police.
"Village Chief Wang, we've delivered the people to you. According to instructions from higher-ups, we're assigning the heaviest tasks to educated youth with negative and bad attitudes, to serve as a warning to others."
The village chief bowed and nodded as he sent the person away, then took Zhou Yue to the large pond in the village where manure was fermented.
"See? These three large pools must be filled for me.
Now it’s time for every household to collect manure. You will go from house to house to collect manure and then bring it here.”
After saying that, the village chief walked away with his hands behind his back without caring about Zhou Yue’s reaction.
Zhou Yue looked at the village chief's departing back and wanted to say something several times, but in the end she just moved her lips.
Before Zhou Yue had time to take a breath, he immediately started his life of carrying manure.
But she still overestimated her abilities.
The two dung buckets were filled to the brim. A palm-wide shoulder pole fell on his shoulders. He used all his strength, but the dung buckets did not move at all.
After several attempts, he accidentally knocked over the bucket, and feces and urine flowed all over the floor.
Zhou Yue is now paying for Ma Zi's family.
When Ma Zi's mother saw that her backyard was covered with feces, she took a willow branch and hit Zhou Yue.
"What can you do? What can you do?
I saw you were very agile when you were running. What's wrong? Can't you just pick up some manure? If you don't clean it up for me today, I'll make you pay for it."
After everyone left, Zhou Yue looked at her shoes and trouser legs that were soaked with feces, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
I quickly comforted myself, "It will be over soon, just bear with it."
When Zhou Yue returned to her residence after a busy day, she found that her things had been thrown out and her clothes were scattered all over the floor.
"What's that smell on you~ Ugh~"
Several female educated youth pretended to vomit in front of Zhou Yue, and they did not hide the disgust in their eyes at all.
Yang Xiaoya looked down at her and said, "We don't want to live in the same room with people who have been there before. It's unlucky."
Strangely, Zhou Yue did not resist, but quietly packed up her things and moved to the woodshed.
The days go on and on.
Just when everyone was about to forget about Zhou Yue, something unexpected happened. The old house of the He family caught fire.
Fortunately, a male educated youth got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. He saw the billowing smoke and woke up his roommates.
I don’t know why, but everyone slept particularly soundly today.
No matter how much the male educated youth shouted, there was no response.
"Stop knocking, kick the door."
