Xu Xiangyang didn't move. He couldn't leave Li Xiyue alone. His uncle was emotionally unstable. What if he hurt her?
Xu Jianmin knew exactly what his nephew was thinking and assured him, "I won't do anything to her."
Xu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly went out the door.
"Sit down," Xu Jianmin said to Li Xiyue, glancing at the stool beside the bed.
Li Xiyue thanked him and sat down gently.
Do you know why I called you here?
Li Xiyue shook her head, "I don't know."
Seeing that her eyes were open and honest, without any ulterior motives, Xu Jianmin tightened his grip on her clasped hands and said to himself, "In 1968, the first batch of educated youth came to our Red Sun Production Team. As the deputy leader of the first production team, I had to deal with them every day."
Li Xiyue was surprised. He had called her over to talk about his past.
Moreover, Xu Jianmin used to be the deputy captain of the first squad?
"Although only two educated youths came, they were both people who couldn't lift a finger or carry a heavy load. In particular, the female educated youth Lin Rou couldn't do any work and was always taking leave. She was so delicate."
Lin Rou? That must be the name of the female educated youth who later married and moved to the county.
Li Xiyue didn't disturb him and continued listening to him.
"That autumn, when I was passing by the river, I saw Lin Rou fall into the water. The situation was critical, and without thinking, I jumped in to save her."
Li Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he deliberately fell into the water to frame Xu Jianmin?
As expected, that's exactly right.
Xu Jianmin clenched his fists, his hands turning completely white. "I kindly saved her, but she accused me of taking advantage of her and threatened to kill herself to force me to marry her."
Li Xiyue frowned. Isn't this a real-life version of the story of the farmer and the snake?
“But I was already engaged at the time. Xiulan and I had already set a date for our wedding, so of course I wouldn’t agree.” Xu Jianmin gritted his teeth and said, “But she said that if I didn’t agree, she would call the police and accuse me of being a hooligan.”
It turns out that Gao Xiulan was engaged to him before, no wonder Gao Xiulan was here.
“Xiangyang was about to join the army that year. If I went to jail, Xiangyang wouldn’t be able to join the army. For Xiangyang’s future, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and agree.”
"Xiulan and I broke off our engagement and I agreed to marry her. But I never expected that shortly before the wedding, she would get involved with a GWF man. Later, she went to the county and married that man."
Huh?
Lin Rou's actions were truly...
"I suddenly became the laughingstock of the whole village. I was furious and chased after her to the county town to demand an explanation. But to my surprise, she had already gathered a group of people waiting for me. As soon as I arrived, they rushed out and surrounded me without saying a word, beating me..."
He stroked his crippled legs, his eyes blazing with fury. "They almost beat me to death. I passed out, and when I woke up, I was in the hospital. The doctor said both my legs were broken, and I could never stand up again. I'm a cripple!"
As Xu Jianmin spoke, his emotional wall was on the verge of collapse. He punched the bed, his cheeks clenching so hard they pounded: "But that vicious woman still didn't let me go. She actually reported me to the GWH for being a hooligan. If it weren't for the team committee members testifying for me and paying some compensation, I would have been arrested."
Li Xiyue's fists clenched as she listened. That female educated youth named Lin Rou was too shameless!
Needless to say, she initially plotted against Xu Jianmin to escape farm work. For her own selfish interests, she cruelly separated a loving couple. Later, when she found a better place to go, she heartlessly abandoned him.
If she had apologized and made amends afterward, she would have at least some humanity. But instead of repenting, she maliciously committed violence and assault.
She broke both of Xu Jianmin's legs, ruining a perfectly healthy person like that!
Lin Rou single-handedly ruined the reputation of all the female educated youth; she's truly a remarkable person.
