Li Hua returned to Zhoujiazhuang, still under the guise of being sent down to the countryside.
Not to mention Shen Banxia's astonishment, many who knew about what happened back then couldn't believe the news they were hearing.
Shen Banxia's gossip radar went off, and she immediately rushed home. Sure enough, this was the very thing they were discussing.
"Old man, what exactly happened with Li, the educated youth? Why was she sent down to the countryside? Didn't she go back to the city to go to university?"
"Don't inquire about this matter," Zhou's father said, not wanting to say more.
“You old man, there are no outsiders here. Besides, she has been sent down to the countryside. She must have done something bad. We must know what she did to distance ourselves from such a bad element.”
Although Zhou's mother was illiterate, she was very familiar with these kinds of slogans because her husband was the brigade leader.
Shen Banxia couldn't help but nod inwardly.
"Alright, let me remind you about this too. You all know why Li Hua returned to the city in the first place, right?"
Everyone nodded.
They found out after what happened to their younger sister.
"There's more to that story than meets the eye," Zhou's father said, falling silent at this point.
He never expected that Li Hua, that girl, would be so ruthless.
I really underestimated her back then.
"Tell me quickly, what's the secret?" Zhou's mother urged.
"She orchestrated that whole thing herself."
"What? No way? That's a woman's reputation! How dare she do that?" Zhou's mother couldn't believe what she had just heard.
How could any woman use such a thing to slander someone?
“There’s nothing we wouldn’t dare to do. There’s nothing we wouldn’t do to get back to the city,” Zhou’s father now understood.
"Even if that's the case, is Zhao Zhigao a fool? Doesn't he know whether things will succeed or not?"
"He was drunk at the time, and that was the scene when he woke up," Zhou's father said.
"That's not right, old man. How would you know about such a secret if she didn't tell you?" Zhou's mother really couldn't understand.
Shen Banxia also couldn't understand how that girl who wore glasses and was easily shy could be this kind of person.
Is there some misunderstanding here?
Back when we were assigned to work together, she always helped me, intentionally or unintentionally.
Therefore, when she overheard the conversation between Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingjiao, she decided to teach Zhao Zhigao a lesson.
Unexpectedly, things didn't go as she thought.
"She tried the same trick again, but this time she failed. Then, during the interrogation, her affair with Zhao Zhigao was exposed."
Zhou's father was the brigade leader, and he already knew the details when he handed over this matter.
"Oh dear, it's true that you can know a person's face but not their heart. Who would have thought that little girl would be such a ruthless person?"
Even Zhou's mother couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking back to the time when her daughter was friends with Li Hua, she felt a chill of fear.
With my daughter's naive nature, how could she possibly outsmart Li Hua? I'm afraid she'll end up being sold out and still helping the other party count the money.
Thank goodness, Zhou's mother couldn't help but feel relieved that her daughter was alright.
Zhao Zhigao was stunned when he heard the news. He repeatedly asked Zhou Mingjiao for confirmation, "I... I was the victim? Waaaaah, I was actually the victim? Ahhhh, I thought I was a genius."
Shen Banxia, who was out for a stroll: ...
Is this a normal human reaction?
Zhao Zhigao was still wailing, "Ahhh, I want to write a letter, I want to tell my parents, you damned bitch, I did nothing wrong!"
Shen Banxia couldn't help but shake her head. Zhao Zhigao really made himself sound quite innocent; flies don't land on eggs without cracks.
Moreover, according to Zhou's father, if they deliberately got him drunk, wouldn't Zhao Zhigao have been unaware of what might happen before he went to the appointment?
He simply hadn't expected things to turn out the way he thought.
"Brother Zhao, don't be too sad. This matter has now been cleared of your name."
Zhao Zhigao looked at Zhou Mingjiao with a mournful face, "It's too late, it's all too late."
His marriage to Zhou Mingjiao has been finalized, and the things that were initially covered up have now been revealed.
Although he was ultimately the victim, his image...
He was clearly a refined, well-educated, and polite educated youth from the city, but what happened to him?
Don't think he didn't hear; flies love poop.
Pshaw, he's not shit.
Realizing he had been vulgar, Zhao Zhigao looked at Zhou Mingjiao with mixed feelings; this was originally the best choice for him.
But now...
Thinking of Shen Banxia, that wicked woman, Zhao Zhigao felt like crying. Why was his life so full of hardship?
Zhou Mingjiao comforted her, "It's not too late. As long as you talk to Dad and make things clear, he will definitely agree."
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Mingjiao immediately went to find Zhao Zhigao.
She believed that he certainly couldn't resist the temptation to return to the city.
Zhou Mingjiao looked on with anticipation.
"Comrade Zhou, rest assured, I am not a treacherous person who goes back on his word."
Zhou Mingjiao was dumbfounded.
"No, Brother Zhao, I can't hold you back. I feel I'm not good enough for you," Zhou Mingjiao said, belittling herself in an attempt to escape the marriage.
"Comrade Zhou Mingjiao, I know how good you are, you don't need to say more, my parents have already agreed."
Zhao Zhigao was secretly furious. Why couldn't they have received the news sooner?
Now things are fine, my parents have agreed, and they even told me to treat Zhou Mingjiao well.
