Chapter 34: Arguments Between Women Are Terrifying

Iron Orchid was unaware that the three robbers were all crying. She was riding her bicycle, huffing and puffing as she made her way along the road.

The mountain path was really difficult to ride. There were rocks everywhere, causing her to bump and jolt, her body shaking uncontrollably on the bicycle.

During this time, she put the three things she had seized into her space and threw them in the corner of the yard. She wanted to throw away the candy wrapped in a leaf. But thinking of Silly Egg’s drooling face and his loud cries, she subconsciously stopped.

Forget it, it was something he cherished, she would just leave it aside.

After riding the mountain road for over an hour, Iron Orchid felt like her butt had split into two. Finally, she saw a large stone ahead. The stone was engraved with the three characters “Guihua Village”, and the village entrance was not far ahead.

Iron Orchid quickly got off her bicycle and unloaded the net bag and suitcase. It was still daytime, everyone was working in the fields, and there was no one at the lively village entrance under the big tree.

Since no one saw her riding a bicycle, she would put the bicycle away in her space first. After all, she had just arrived in the countryside, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Iron Orchid was carrying the net bag and suitcase, and she had just entered the village when she heard a commotion. Soon, a little girl with pigtails and a sky-blue short-sleeved shirt ran out from a side path.

The little girl covered her butt and cried loudly, a woman with a bamboo stick was chasing after her.

“I’ll beat you to death, you little brat! You even dared to skip school to dig for bird eggs, if the teacher hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known you hadn’t been to school for three days!”

“Mom, I don’t want to go to school! What’s good about school, I’m always falling asleep, it’s so boring!”

The little girl argued, while running away.

The woman behind her was panting and chasing after her, scolding:

“You dare to talk back to me, stop right there, I’ll beat your butt until it blooms!”

“Hee hee hee! I won’t stop!”

The little girl made a mischievous face.

The woman, angry, increased her speed and caught the girl.

The bamboo stick slapped her butt a few times, and the little girl immediately opened her mouth and howled.

Iron Orchid stopped aside and watched for a while, taking out a handful of sunflower seeds.

Bamboo stick fried meat?

This was the legendary giving a child a complete childhood, right?

Not bad, not bad, the crying was sharp enough.

Iron Orchid finished the sunflower seeds in her hand and prepared to leave. After all, she had important things to do.

But… where was the educated youth compound?

Iron Orchid looked around.

After beating the child, the woman with the bamboo stick left. Only the little girl, still crying, remained sitting on the ground.

Why not ask her?

Iron Orchid walked over: “Little girl, stop crying, I have a question for you.”

Hearing the voice, the little girl looked up. Her rosy cheeks were still wet with tears.

Seeing a stranger, she looked cautious: “Who are you?”

Iron Orchid: “I’m an educated youth who just arrived in the countryside today, do you know where the educated youth compound is? Can you tell me?”

The little girl’s bright eyes twirled, she looked sly:

“I can tell you, in exchange, you have to give me a candy.”

Iron Orchid laughed, this little girl was quite clever.

She took out a hard candy from her pocket, actually from her space, and handed it over: “Here you go.”

The little girl’s eyes lit up instantly.

She quickly wiped away her tears, took the candy, stood up, and smiled sweetly:

“Pretty sister, the educated youth compound is at the end of the village, I’ll take you there!”

Iron Orchid smiled: “Okay, let’s go.”

This little girl has such a sweet mouth, I wonder who she inherited it from.

After walking for about 20 minutes, they finally saw a row of earthen houses at the end of the village.

The house was also decorated with a red banner: “Forge a Red Heart in the Vast Fields, Take Root in the Countryside and Carry Out the Revolution!”

When they arrived, the little girl was ready to leave.

“Pretty sister, my name is Song Xue, I’ll come and play with you when I have time.”

Iron Orchid smiled: “Okay!”

Everyone likes a sweet-talking girl.

Iron Orchid took out another fruit hard candy and gave it to her.

Song Xue thanked her and left happily.

Iron Orchid walked into the educated youth compound, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she ran into He Ailing.

“Iron Orchid… how did you get here so quickly?!”

He Ailing looked guilty.

Iron Orchid smiled at her: “Someone gave me a ride, actually, I have to thank you, your plan fell through, didn’t it?”

He Ailing’s face changed, she looked a little embarrassed: “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I called you this morning, you were just lazy and wouldn’t get up, it has nothing to do with me.”

Zhang San and Li Si also walked over.

They both looked at Iron Orchid with dissatisfaction.

Zhang San: “Comrade Iron Orchid, now that we’re in the countryside, we have to be diligent, we can’t act like city girls.”

Li Si: “Yeah, I heard that last night you asked Comrade He Ailing to fetch you hot water, your thinking is problematic, you need to correct it!”

Iron Orchid twitched her mouth: “Did He Ailing tell you that?”

Zhang San and Li Si nodded: “Yeah.”

Iron Orchid looked at He Ailing speechlessly: “You’re really good at lying.”

He Ailing pretended to be wronged: “Comrade Iron Orchid, I’m telling the truth, we had a disagreement last night as soon as we arrived.”

She was evading the issue, completely ignoring the fact that she had lied.

The key was that after she finished speaking, she secretly gave Iron Orchid a provocative smile.

It seemed that she had made up her mind, she thought Iron Orchid couldn’t refute her. After all, they were the only two in the room last night, no one knew what happened.

Iron Orchid smiled and continued her words:

“Yes, last night I asked you to fetch me hot water because you said your butt was rotten and it smelled too bad, I helped you fetch hot water as an apology, but now you’re twisting the truth.”

Slander, everyone can do it!

As soon as she said that.

Zhang San and Li Si both had an indescribable expression on their faces.

They even moved away a little in disgust.

He Ailing was about to cry.

“Iron Orchid, what are you talking about, my butt… no, there’s nothing wrong with me, don’t talk nonsense!”

Iron Orchid raised her eyebrows: “Oh? Then why did I ask you to fetch me hot water?”

“That’s because… that’s because…”

He Ailing’s eyes rolled, she wanted to lie again.

But when she met Iron Orchid’s smiling face, she suddenly became timid.

She was afraid that Iron Orchid would use more disgusting words to slander her, and she would lose more than she gained.

“Maybe I remembered wrong, I was just joking with you, don’t take it to heart.”

Iron Orchid nodded: “I was just joking too.”

As she spoke, she deliberately turned to look at Zhang San and Li Si, and smiled:

“Did you two hear that? He Ailing’s butt being rotten is not true, don’t take it seriously.”

Zhang San and Li Si: …

Could they say that they didn’t want to hear this kind of joke?

Arguments between women are terrifying.

“We didn’t hear anything, we’ll go busy now!”

After saying this, Zhang San and Li Si quickly left.

Seeing that the two of them had left, He Ailing didn’t want to act anymore, her face immediately fell.

“Iron Orchid, I just told a little lie, why are you slandering me like this!”

Iron Orchid sneered: “I’m slandering you? Didn’t you slander me first?

He Ailing, remember this.

If you talk nonsense again, I guarantee I’ll slander you even worse than today, believe me or not?”

“You… you’re bullying me! I’m not talking to you anymore!”

He Ailing’s face panicked, she immediately cowered and ran away.
