Team leader Zhao is not one to be easily deceived; standing there, he could clearly see how Zhang Yunxi’s sister described her despair and the details of her rape.

At that time, he had wanted to deal with Zhao Hongqiang, that malignant tumor.

But Zhao Hongqiang’s parents cried and made a scene, and with Zhang Yunxi’s sister being manipulated by him, there was simply no way to handle the situation.

Now that Zhang Yunxi has arrived, it’s time to properly settle these old grievances.

The moral atmosphere of the brigade is important; it must not be corrupted!

After reading, Team leader Zhao looked at Zhao Hongqiang with a stern face: “What do you have to say for yourself?”

“I didn’t do it!!!”

Zhao Hongqiang absolutely could not admit to having done such a thing at this moment, and he fiercely pinched Yuan Guixiang, who was standing beside him in a daze.

Yuan Guixiang, feeling the threatening gaze of Zhao Hongqiang, trembled all over and immediately fell to the ground, raising her hands to the sky and crying out: “Oh heavens, why is my life so bitter? I worked so hard to raise Zhao Mo, and now her aunt has just arrived and wants to kill my man. How am I supposed to live like this!”

“Can’t you live without a man?” Zhang Yunxi asked.

Yuan Guixiang’s crying stopped abruptly.

How was she supposed to answer that?

If she said yes, she’d be mocked for being desperate for a man.

If she said no, wouldn’t her man be executed?

“Wuwuwu, oh heavens, the new educated youth is bullying a remarried, honest woman! I worked myself to death for the family, taking care of her little niece, raising her, and now she comes and slanders my innocence. Why doesn’t a thunderbolt strike her dead? Oh heavens, look at this poor woman, being driven to death…”

Everyone watched as Yuan Guixiang cried and shouted.

They also secretly observed Zhang Yunxi’s expression, who coldly said: “Aiding and abetting can be punished as being an accomplice.”

Yuan Guixiang’s crying stopped again.

She looked at Team leader Zhao in disbelief.

Team leader Zhao, with his hands behind his back and a slightly hunched back, had clear and righteous eyes: ‘Zhao Hongqiang, I ask you, did you do such a thing back then? If educated youth Zhang, gives the letter to the Educated Youth Office, I can’t protect you. If you confess now, since we are of the same clan, I can still send you to Beidahuang for reformation!’

‘No!’

Reformation in Beidahuang is like being cut by a thousand knives, dying bit by bit.

It’s no different from being executed directly.

Zhao Hongqiang saw Zhao Mo and pulled her over with such force that Zhao Mo was choked by her clothes and coughed several times in a row.

Zhao Hongqiang didn’t care at all: “Go get that piece of paper from your aunt, or else you won’t eat a bite of food later.”

‘I…’ Zhao Mo’s voice was hoarse, and she coughed several more times while holding her neck.

Team leader Zhao couldn’t stand it anymore and scolded: ‘Zhao Hongqiang, don’t go too far!’

‘Team leader, why are you so biased towards the new educated youth? Could it be because you find her attractive? Don’t be so shameless in your old age!’ Zhao Hongqiang sneered. Since Zhang Yunxi and team leader Zhao were being unkind, he wouldn’t be righteous either.

Team leader Zhao’s face turned red with anger.

Zhang Yunxi, however, remained calm, “So, is justice meant to be slandered? Did you cover up the fact that you raped my sister back then by currying favor with higher-ups? Which leader was it? Why not tell us? A female leader probably wouldn’t be interested in you, so was it a male…..”

“Zhang Yunxi!!!”

Zhao Hongqiang roared.

The veins on his neck bulged.

Zhang Yunxi sneered, “What’s the rush… Stop!”

Zhao Hongqiang couldn’t lay a hand on Zhang Yunxi, so he raised his hand to slap Zhao Mo.

Seeing Zhang Yunxi’s anxiety, Zhao Hongqiang became smug, “Aren’t you quite the talker? Speak up!”

Zhao Mo was restrained and couldn’t move.

The onlookers, seeing Zhao Hongqiang’s bullying demeanor, also advised Zhang Yunxi,

“”Little girl, don’t be so impulsive.”

“Zhao Mo’s mother is gone. She can’t afford to get into trouble.”

“That’s right, look at how pitiful Zhao Mo is.”

…

Zhang Yunxi took a deep breath.

Zhao Hongqiang became even more smug.

Zhang Yunxi said fiercely: “I can choose not to report you, but I have conditions. If you fail to meet them, even if you use Zhao Mo, I won’t be merciful. I’ve only known her for a day, but my sister took care of me for over ten years!”

Zhao Hongqiang’s heart stirred slightly, “Speak.”

“Back then, you promised my sister a bride price of thirty-eight yuan for my family. You should give it, right?” Zhang Yunxi asked.

After the threat of death, even though Zhao Hongqiang was reluctant to part with the thirty-eight yuan, he didn’t hesitate and agreed immediately, “Fine.”

“Zhao Mo must have her own room; she can’t sleep in the woodshed anymore, and she must go to school!”

Yuan Guixiang immediately started to protest, “Don’t go too far.”

Zhang Yunxi took out a knife from her bag and pointed it at Zhao Hongqiang, “If you don’t agree, then I’ll report you! I have a knife, and if you dare to snatch it, I won’t mind slashing at you.”

The crowd quickly backed away.

This girl… is ruthless!

Zhao Hongqiang saw her determination and clenched his teeth. “Fine.”

“Hand over the money!” Zhang Yunxi reminded him. “Let’s settle this in front of the team leader, and move Zhao Mo’s things now.”

Zhao Hongqiang shot a glare at Yuan Guixiang.

Yuan Guixiang, sulking, went to fetch the money and start clearing out the room.

The bride price was thirty-eight yuan.

Schooling would cost one yuan.

Yuan Guixiang’s heart was bleeding.

The onlookers, however, were impressed by Zhang Yunxi’s boldness, using her sister’s bride price to immediately earn thirty-eight yuan.

In this times, most households didn’t even have a hundred yuan. Thirty-eight yuan was a huge sum!

But what they didn’t expect was what happened next.

Zhang Yunxi handed the thirty-eight yuan to the team leader. “Team Leader, you’re a good person, and I trust you. Keep this money. If they don’t hit Zhao Mo for a month and let her eat properly, give them one yuan. But if they lay a hand on her, I hope you’ll step in.”

The team leader was briefly stunned.

He had wanted to properly punish Zhao Hongqiang, but he didn’t expect Zhang Yunxi’s ultimate goal was to protect Zhao Mo. Under the girl’s clear gaze, he nodded, “Alright.”

Zhang Yunxi believed that in three years.

She could grow strong enough to protect Zhao Mo.

For now, Zhao Mo would have to endure living with the Zhao family.

As for Zhao Hongqiang…

A rapist, one day, Zhang Yunxi would make him face the punishment he deserved!
Zhao Hongqiang also didn’t expect the situation to turn around, with the money ultimately coming back to him, so his anger subsided considerably, and he pushed Zhao Mo away.

Zhao Mo staggered.

Zhang Yunxi stepped forward to support her and then said to Zhao Hongqiang, ‘Tomorrow, I will take Zhao Mo to town to buy clothes, which will be lent to Zhao Mo. If the clothes are damaged by your children, I will demand compensation!’

Zhao Hongqiang couldn’t be bothered with such trivial matters.

He wanted the letter in Zhang Yunxi’s hand more, “Fine, give me the letter.”

Without evidence.

No one could do anything to him.

Zhang Yunxi pursed her lips and handed him the “letter.”

Zhao Hongqiang couldn’t read, but he recognized his own name; he knew the character for ‘Qiang,’ and seeing many instances of ‘Qiang’ on the paper, he decisively tore it up.

Then he glared at the onlookers, “Don’t you all have dinner to eat?”

Having watched a great drama, everyone was quite satisfied, though their impression of Zhang Yunxi changed from a beautiful and intellectual educated youth to a fierce and beautiful educated youth.

What kind of good girl talks about execution as soon as she opens her mouth.

And pulls out a big knife at that.

Zhao Rencheng also turned to leave; he was just there to watch the show, after all.”
