Chapter 35

There were villagers all around, so naturally everyone favored Tian Yuzhen.

Someone asked, “Yu Lulu, how much money did you lose? Why did you keep such a valuable thing on you?”

“I lost more than 50 yuan, as well as sugar coupons, cloth coupons, and meat coupons. I kept them with me to prevent them from being stolen, but who knew they were still stolen.”

Yu Lulu felt very aggrieved.

Only when she went to the village did she realize how hard life was. Fortunately, her parents gave her a lot of money. Zhao Chunhua also said that the villagers were poor and told her to be careful about her money being stolen and it was better to carry it with her.

She put all her money and bills in the inner pocket of her clothes and never took them out even when she slept, so she wouldn’t worry about them being stolen.

Unexpectedly, during the break, Zhao Chunhua asked her to borrow money. When she opened her inner pocket, she found that more than half of her bills were missing, and she immediately became panicked.

Without these money and notes, she would have to live a hard life.

Zhao Chunhua is also anxious!

She depends on Yu Lulu for her livelihood, and her money is her own money. Without her money, her job in the town will be ruined.

After searching in vain, the two decided to make a big deal out of it.

Even if they can’t find it back by then, the village will have to find a way to compensate her. The educated youth had their things stolen right after they arrived. Let’s see if they still want to keep their reputation.

When they heard that more than fifty yuan was lost, everyone knew that this was a serious matter.

In the village, if someone’s family is missing one or two eggs, people will make a big fuss, let alone more than fifty eggs.

Tian Yuzhen also became anxious.

She really didn’t steal! If this matter was blamed on her, wouldn’t their family have to compensate Yu Lulu more than fifty yuan?

When she thought of the consequences, Tian Yuzhen immediately started yelling.

“I don’t care how much money you lost, it wasn’t stolen by me anyway.”

“You spent money lavishly, and now that you’ve lost all your money you want to blame it on me, making me the scapegoat.”

“Bah!”

Having said that, she sat down on the ground and started to act like a scoundrel.

“Everyone come and see!”

“The educated youth are blackmailing people.”

“They obviously spent all their money, but now they are blaming me for it. Aren’t they just bullying me because I’m uneducated? Maybe they are educated people!”

“They are not bullying me, they are bullying us rural people.”

“I feel so wronged…”

Although Tian Yuzhen could not read a single word, she had full experience in rural survival and directly escalated the matter to the point where the educated educated youth looked down on the uneducated villagers.

After hearing her fuss, the villagers, who were already fence-sitters, began to waver and looked at Yu Lulu and the other girl with slightly unfriendly eyes.

“Do you have any evidence that Sister Yuzhen stole your money? Did you see her steal it with your own eyes, or did you find money hidden on her?”

“Lulu lost the money and bills, not mine.” Zhao Chunhua hurriedly clarified, fearing that he would be dragged into it.

Yu Lulu firmly believed that it was Tian Yuzhen who stole it, and said confidently: “She stole it.”

Zhao Chunhua whispered, “Lulu and I are tired from work and are resting here. Lulu took off her coat, and Brother Li Changcheng said he saw Sister Yuzhen stop here for a while, but he didn’t know what she was doing.”

“You little bitch, how dare you wrongly accuse me? I was just speaking up for you before. I think you are just an ungrateful person.”

When Tian Yuzhen heard that Zhao Chunhua was talking about her in every word, she became so angry that she reached out to grab Zhao Chunhua.

Zhao Chunhua was slow to react and failed to run away in time, so Tian Yuzhen grabbed her hair and the two started fighting.

Seeing Zhao Chunhua, the only one who helped her, being beaten, Yu Lulu hurried forward to help, and the fight between the two turned into a chaotic fight among three people.

For a moment, everyone was a little confused as to how a fight broke out all of a sudden. Several sisters-in-law and aunts who were usually on good terms with Tian Yuzhen also rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.

Many people who were dissatisfied with Yu Lulu and the other educated youth took the opportunity to vent their anger in the chaos.

In the fields nearby, three honest bachelors’ eyes suddenly lit up. They quickly dropped the farm tools in their hands and ran over shouting to try to stop the fight.

They used their hands and feet to pull apart the young girls, young wives, and middle-aged aunts who were mixed together.

“Don’t fight, don’t fight.”

“Yes, we are all from the same village. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk it out. Fighting won’t solve the problem.”

“Don’t get hurt. It costs a lot of money to go to the hospital for treatment.”

…

Seeing the melee expanding, it was about to affect him.

Jiang Yan pulled He Hongxiu to stand a little further away, and then continued to watch the show happily. Isn’t this more exciting than the TV drama?

Looking at the chaotic fight, He Hongxiu exclaimed, “These villagers are really tough!”

But soon, something went wrong.

A woman in her forties cried out in pain, “Ouch, who shamelessly touched my breasts?”

As soon as the voice fell, another aunt shouted, “Who? Who is shameless enough to grab my butt?”

Upon hearing this, the young girls and wives in the melee immediately stopped and stood far away.

If your reputation is ruined, it will be hard to get married in the future.

The man who was pulling the people looked at everyone and said with a smile: “That’s right, if there is any problem, solve it properly and don’t start a fight at every turn.”

Everyone was angry but dared not say anything. He Hongxiu, who was standing next to them, also spat quietly.

“Bah, you filthy rascal.”

Jiang Yan also shook her head. She saw it clearly just now. Those men were not trying to stop the fight but taking advantage of it. The women who tried to stop the fight basically suffered.

It’s just that young girls and wives don’t dare to say it out loud for fear of affecting their reputation.

The two aunts who dared to speak out probably had their husbands died and didn’t care about their reputation at all.

“Bah, you filthy rascal.”

“Shameless.”

The two aunts also had hot tempers and spat directly at the three people.

The three of them said confidently, “Sun Guihua, we are here to help with the fight out of kindness. There are bound to be bumps and bruises when you try to stop a fight, so please don’t wrongly accuse a good person.”

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? Why did it get to the point of a group fight?”

A man in his forties or fifties jogged over with a pipe on his waist.

Seeing that everyone’s clothes were disheveled, their hair was a mess, and there were bloody scratches on their faces and hands, the man couldn’t help but frown and his voice became more serious.

“What’s going on?”

“Are you old ladies going to turn the tables?”

Tian Yuzhen quickly started crying and said that she didn’t want to take the blame.

“Village Chief, Yu Lulu spent all her money lavishly, and now she wants to blame it on me, saying that I stole her money.”

“Heaven and earth have conscience.”

“I, Tian Yuzhen, am a poor peasant for eight generations, but I have never done anything sneaky. You have to believe me.”

“The last time Doudou got lost, it was my man who found her.”

“Ahem.”

The village chief coughed lightly and looked at Tian Yuzhen reproachfully, “Let’s stick to the facts. Why are you bringing up the past? I’m the village chief and I don’t favor anyone.”

She looked at everyone and said, “Tell me everything exactly as it happened. Don’t leave out any details.”

Zhao Chunhua took the initiative to come out and tearfully told the whole story, which was all beneficial to herself and Yu Lulu.
