When Zhang Yan heard Chen Erlaizi say that he wanted to marry her in front of so many people, she showed a look of horror and shook her head quickly.
"I don't want to marry you, you don't deserve it."
Old Mrs. Chen came late and heard her say this as soon as she entered the yard.
She gritted her teeth in anger and said, "You've already slept with my son, and now you say you're not worthy. What were you doing in bed with him?"
Zhang Yan said that her son was not worthy of her. Old Mrs. Chen got angry when she heard that. She only had this one son, and he was as precious as a gold nugget. Of course, she couldn't let Zhang Yan look down on him.
The people watching the excitement outside were all villagers, and the village chief was also a family member, so Old Lady Chen felt confident.
As if the matter was not serious enough, she shouted at the onlookers to listen to her.
"Look, folks! Zhang Yan is a glutton and a lazy person. She can't even get enough to eat here in the compound, so she often comes to my house to beg for money. I figured she was an educated youth sent to the countryside after all, so I tried my best to treat her well. But now, after eating up all our food, she's ignoring us."
"Look at the way she's dressed. Running around like that every day, how could that man stand it? She slept with my son, but she doesn't acknowledge her relationship with Lai Zi and wants to kick him out!"
"She cheated me out of food and drinks, and even tricked my son Laizi into sleeping with her. She stole my soul."
Old Mrs. Chen doesn’t know yet that Zhang Yan has had sex with someone else, otherwise she wouldn’t have said that.
She kept yelling, and the onlookers didn't know whether to believe her or not.
Their thoughts were in unison, "I don't trust you. Your son isn't necessarily a good person."
Old Mrs. Chen was a notorious stingy person in the village. When she said she often entertained an educated youth, the villagers really didn't believe it.
When Zhang Yan heard her slandering her like this, she yelled and cursed.
"What are you talking about, old woman! Who seduced your son? He was the one who raped me, so you are an accomplice."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to rush over to hit Old Lady Chen, but was caught by Chen Erlaizi and prevented from hitting anyone.
Everyone looked at Old Lady Chen again, waiting to hear what else she had to say.
Old Mrs. Chen took a step back before speaking to her son.
"I told you not to spoil her, but you just wouldn't listen. Look, she even dared to scold her mother-in-law."
Chen Erlaizi also coaxed in a low voice: "Yanzi, this is our mother, how can you hit her!"
Chen Defu saw that their words were getting more and more outrageous, and there were so many people watching. If it got out, their village would lose all face.
Chen Defu said, "Okay, come with me to the office and explain everything to me, otherwise none of you will be able to do anything today."
He then called out to the educated youth who were watching the fun, "You guys go too, everyone can go home!"
When Wang Pozi and several other old ladies heard what the village chief said, they picked up their vegetable baskets and left first.
It's quite unsettling to hear half of the gossip.
Anyway, I've heard almost everything. I'll ask Mrs. Chen about the rest later.
Zhang Hongyang looked at several educated youth and motioned them to follow him.
They go to work and come home every day. Zhang Yan's affairs have nothing to do with them, and they can't do anything if they go. But Zhang Yan is an educated youth, so it would be unreasonable for them not to go.
Zhu Mingsheng didn't want to go. He had to rush to catch the train. If he was delayed, he might not be able to go back today.
He said, "Village Chief, I won't go! It will waste time, and I'm afraid to catch the train."
Chen Defu was about to leave when he turned around and looked at him.
"Comrade Zhu, I don't think you can leave today until this matter is resolved."
"How about this! After I've explained everything that needs to be said, I'll give you a ride in an oxcart."
He wants to leave without figuring out what's right and what's wrong. If anything else happens later, where can he find you?
Zhang Yan was unwilling to do so and was dragged out of the educated youth compound by Chen Erlaizi.
Chen Erlaizi still likes Zhang Yan very much. Even now that such a scandal has happened, he still coaxes her in a gentle voice.
"Swallow, listen to the village chief. He is the fairest."
Old Mrs. Chen was now gritting her teeth in hatred. This woman actually dared to disown her son. Let's see how she will deal with her in the future.
All the people in the compound went to the threshing ground. People in the distance looked at them and knew that something must have happened.
After Wang Po's grandson went around the village to promote the event, even those who were not busy in Chenjia Village but were interested in these things came.
Nowadays, seriousness is boring. When there is excitement to watch, people run away faster than each other.
The educated youth have always been sticking together in their own small groups and are very alienated from the villagers. Now they are fighting, and no one knows what the reason is.
When Jiang Baige heard the news, she thought they were fighting because they had a disagreement.
What she was most worried about was Wu Lili's mouth. She usually didn't control herself. If there was a quarrel, there was an 80% chance that it would be her fault.
So when she heard the news, she immediately came to the educated youth compound.
When we were almost at the threshing ground, we saw a large group of people heading towards it.
Wang Po and the others were still watching the excitement at the intersection and had not gone home yet, waiting to see what happened next.
When she saw Jiang Baige coming, Wang Pozi shouted.
"Scorer Jiang, come here."
As she spoke, she waved to Jiang Baige.
Jiang Baige was about to go over, so she smiled and walked over to them.
Curiously asked, "Auntie, what are they going to do?"
"Oh! Something's happened," said Mrs. Wang. "Stand closer and I'll tell you."
Jiang Baige obediently put her ear close to the woman and said, "Auntie, you say it."
Mrs. Wang began to chatter in her ear for a long time, recounting everything she had heard.
After hearing this, Jiang Baige widened her eyes.
"ah!"
She simply couldn't believe it. In addition to having an unclear relationship with Chen Erlaizi, Zhang Yan also had an ambiguous relationship with Zhu Zhiqing.
Jiang Baige said, "Auntie, you guys talk, I'll go take a look."
Mrs. Wang said, "The educated youth from the compound are also over there, go quickly!"
"Why."
She agreed and headed towards the threshing floor.
Such a big gossip happened in the educated youth compound. After these old ladies spread it, I'm afraid the whole village would know about it in no time.
At the office, because the educated youth did not understand the whole story, the village chief asked them a few simple questions and told them to wait outside.
In the office, only the village chief, Zhu Mingsheng, Zhang Yan, and the mother and son of the Chen family were left.
If you have any private matters, saying them in public would make you lose face. So after the educated youth left, the office door was closed.
When Jiang Baige arrived, the office door was closed and the educated youth were locked outside. A few of them were talking in low voices.
Seeing Jiang Baige coming over, Wu Lili mouthed something to her.
Tell her not to talk, someone is talking inside.
Jiang Baige understood immediately and nodded to her.
