Cuihua rolled her eyes at Chen Weidang. Chen Weidang smiled, looked around, and seeing that there was no one else, he reached out and took Cuihua's hand, and strode towards the village.
Cuihua quickly shook off Chen Weidang's hand. As a village cadre, she had to pay special attention to the impact of her behavior, otherwise it would be bad if she was caught as an example.
Chen Weidang also understood the seriousness of the matter and walked forward quickly alone, but Cuihua could tell from her man's pace that he was waiting for her.
As soon as he returned to the village, Chen Weidang walked around the village beating gongs and drums. When the villagers heard the drums, they knew something had happened, and it was a big deal.
Everyone hurriedly picked up their small stools and teacups. Those who could afford it put a handful of melon seeds in their pockets and ate them while listening to what the village chief said.
Miao Qing couldn't contain her excitement and pulled her mother towards the threshing ground. Thinking that the second-rate guy might eat the peanuts and Cheng Qiao would soon become a widow, she felt extremely happy.
When Cheng Qiao becomes a widow, she will introduce her to an old man who is worse than a second-rate guy, so that Cheng Qiao will never have a good life in her life.
Seeing that almost all the villagers had arrived, including Li's mother and Li Le, Chen Weidang quickly waved for the two to come up.
Li's mother and Li Le were extremely nervous. They learned from the villagers that Li Huan had killed someone and Cheng Qiao was sent to the hospital. They were all stunned.
When Li Le learned that Miao Qing said these words, he became like a little madman. He took a firewood stick and wanted to go to Miao Qing's house to fight, but was suppressed by Li's mother:
"Le Le, remember what mom said. Your second brother and his wife are not here, so we have to endure it for now, okay?"
"Well, mother, I won't be impulsive anymore."
Seeing his mother's bloodshot eyes, Li Le finally calmed down and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook. In case his second brother and his wife came back, he had to prepare hot rice and soup.
Hearing the sound of the village chief beating the drum, Li's mother was so nervous that she almost couldn't breathe. Li Le still held Li's mother's hand and walked out. She knew whether it was a blessing or a disaster.
When Miao Qing saw the two of them coming over, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he secretly stretched out his foot, wanting to trip Li's mother, preferably to make her fall to the ground.
But Qian Longkun stepped on her foot hard. Miao Qing felt pain, but she didn't dare to scream. Otherwise, if Qian Longkun kept stepping on her foot, anyone would be able to see her sinister intentions.
"Let me go."
Miao Qing said in a low voice.
"No."
"I called you a hooligan."
"Shout, or I'll shout first, you're being a hooligan..."
Miao Qing didn't expect Qian Longkun to actually shout out, and she wanted to retract her feet anxiously, but she was a girl after all, and she was not as strong as Qian Longkun.
Everyone looked over, and Zhao Xiaobao pointed at Qian Longkun's feet, and then at Li's mother's feet which had already stopped. Just two steps and Li's mother would have tripped.
"Miao Qing, what on earth do you want to do!"
Cuihua was angry. She had already learned from her husband that the person who wrote the anonymous letter might be Miao Qing, but Miao Qing hated Cheng Qiao so much, how could he have the kindness to report the letter? So Miao Qing went to report it.
Looking at the position of her legs, it was obvious that she was going to trip Li's mother and embarrass her. It was really too much.
"I... He stepped on my foot, but he called me a hooligan. Who is the hooligan?"
No one said anything. They saw the right and wrong and kept it in their hearts. It was just because Miao Qing's father, Chen Fenqiu, was as his name suggested, and his behavior and actions were like a dung ball, which made people disgusted.
Qian Longkun released his feet. At this point, Miao Qing should not cause any more trouble. Sure enough, Miao Qing felt his feet being released and quickly stepped back.
"Brother Longkun, thank you."
Li Le bowed to Qian Longkun to express his gratitude. Qian Longkun quickly shook his hand and said that Cheng Qiao and Li Huan had helped Zhao Guoliang and others, and this kindness should be remembered in their hearts.
"Fellow villagers, today we have great news to announce. Great news! Li Huan from our village has made a great contribution. He has eliminated harm for the people and made great contributions to the prosperity and strength of our country."
"A meritorious service, a second-rate person's meritorious service, isn't it a murderer?"
"Miao Qing is a girl that can be listened to, you idiot."
"I'm stupid, you didn't tell me that."
"Who should I listen to?"
"Of course I will listen to the village chief. Miao Qing has suffered at the hands of Cheng Zhiqing."
"That's true. Ever since Cheng Zhiqing married the second-rate guy, she has become more upright, and the second-rate guy's family has also gradually gotten better."
Listening to the discussions of the villagers around her, Miao Qing suddenly looked up in the direction of Chen Weidang. Was she hallucinating? It wasn't that the second-rate guy wanted to eat peanuts, but that he had made a contribution. What kind of contribution could he have made? It was just a ruffian's contribution.
"Miao Qing, go home."
Daya held her daughter's hand and walked back. It was all her fault for being so mean and saying bad things about others behind their backs. Otherwise, Miao Qing wouldn't have been hit on the back by Cheng Zhiqing with a stone, and nothing would have happened later.
Thanks to Chen Weidang's tireless propaganda, the atmosphere in Xiangyang Village became much more lively. However, in the next two days, Chen Weidang did not receive the certificate of honor he had been longing for. Instead, he received a notice from above that several more educated youth would be coming.
"Wife, Li Huan said that the educated youth named Wang Qin was the bad guy who tricked Cheng Qiao into going to the countryside. If you have time, go to the village and chat with her and spread the news."
Cuihua nodded. Li Huan brought a lot of good things last time. It was her job to take money from others and help them get rid of disasters.
Wang Qin never thought that she, who was supposed to be going to the Northwest, was told to change trains and come to the place where Cheng Qiao went to the countryside.
She never expected that a disaster that would ruin her life was waiting for her, and Cuihua's gossip was nothing but a minor incident compared to her future disaster.
At the educated youth site, Han Chunmei and a few others were tidying up the woodshed. The village chief had already said that three female educated youth would come this time, but the dormitory for female educated youth at the site was too small and could only accommodate two people at most. The remaining one would have to sleep in the woodshed.
The woodshed was leaking everywhere and there was no kang to keep warm. Originally, Chen Weiliang was worried that if the educated youths froze to death in the camp, it would be detrimental to Xiangyang Village. But Li Huan's meaning was very clear: Wang Qin was sent here on purpose.
In this way, even if this educated youth named Wang Qin died, no one would hold her accountable. Indeed, Wang Qin's name had been secretly cancelled long ago, so if she really died, she was dead.
"Sister Chunmei, no one can live here. Don't let them freeze to death."
"Then you live."
Zhang Yuefang rolled her eyes at Xiaofang with disgust. Xiaofang immediately shut up and swore in her heart that she would never pretend to be a good person again.
Wang Qin arrived a day later than the other two female educated youth. When she arrived, only the woodshed was left. Looking at the place where she could feel the cold wind even with the doors and windows closed, Wang Qin's heart sank.
