Chapter 14: Unwed and Unbetrothed, You’ll Be Submerged in a Pig Cage!

Su Wantang almost vomited up her dinner after hearing his words.

This man was incredibly audacious!

She’d seen arrogant men before, but never one this arrogant!

Su Wantang stepped out from behind Shen Yu and spat directly at Fang Shishen.

“Ah！Do you think you’re gold or silver? You have a high opinion of yourself! If you hadn’t acted pitiful in front of me every day, begging me to help you, would I have ever spoken to you?”

“Just because I’m soft-hearted, easy-going, and like to help people, you think I’m interested in you? I’ve helped so many people, does that mean I’m interested in all of them?”

“Everyone in the village knows I have a military officer fiancé. He’s a great hero who defends our country. I wouldn’t leave such a hero for you. Anyone with eyes can see who to choose!”

A certain great hero, just arriving at the entrance of the educated youth center, stopped dead in his tracks upon hearing this.

His gaze was fixed on the girl speaking inside.

Fang Shishen, furious, clenched his fists, trying to get up, but was held down tightly by another educated youth.

Su Wantang pulled out a stack of letters from her pocket and handed them to the village chief.

The village chief opened them to reveal letters filled with Fang Shishen’s explicit love letters to Song Shiyi!

Su Wantang pressed her advantage, continuing, “You said you want to marry Song Shiyi? Unwed and unbetrothed, cohabiting—in the old days, you would have been drowned in a pig cage! And you still want to get married on the spot?”

“And these letters, I found them in Song Shiyi’s room. You’ve been plotting against Song Shiyi! She didn’t refuse you either; this time, it’s probably because her mother went to the farm, so she eagerly offered herself, wanting a man to rely on!”

“You’ve cohabited without being betrothed, your morals are corrupt, you’re lawless, and your conduct is improper! If people like you can get married, how many comrades will follow your example, cooking the rice before the wedding, then saying they want to get married? Wouldn’t the relationships between men and women be completely messed up?”

Song Shiyi looked at Su Wantang in terror.

How did she become so eloquent and so good at twisting things around!

Now, even if she had a thousand mouths, she couldn’t explain herself!

The people in the educated youth center were furious, shouting, “People with such incorrect thoughts should be sent to the farm to correct their thinking! Absolutely no leniency!”

The educated youth holding down Fang Shishen was also swept up in the fervor.

He raised his hand and joined the passionate shouts.

Fang Shishen, consumed by rage, saw the educated youth release him.

He abruptly stood up and lunged at Su Wantang.

He cursed, “You bitch! Die!!!”

Seeing Fang Shishen suddenly pounce, Su Wantang was about to kick him away.

But someone beat her to it, kicking Fang Shishen away.

He fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

Su Wantang looked up slightly.

In the moonlight, that cold, stern profile appeared even more three-dimensional.

She was actually a little captivated by his handsomeness.

(???)

Song Shiyi in this book is truly a waste of resources!

She painstakingly killed the cannon fodder Su Wantang in the book and designed a drowning incident to successfully marry Fu Yanci.

But unable to bear the loneliness, she hooked up with Fang Shishen, that skinny stick of a man.

Tsk tsk.

Indeed, people are fickle; they don’t cherish what they have.

Fu Yanci’s gaze lingered on Su Wantang’s face for a moment, confirming she wasn’t shocked.

Then he beckoned to Uncle Tu, who was still standing dumbly at the entrance of the educated youth center: “Uncle Tu, come and tell the village chief and the others about this.”

Uncle Tu came to his senses and walked to Fu Yanci, recalling, “Ah, it’s like this. A couple of days ago, Comrade Song told me that her family’s cow needed to be bred, so she asked me for a pack of livestock breeding medicine. I just remembered that Old Su’s family doesn’t even have a cow!”

“It worried me so much, I hurried to find Comrade Song to get the medicine back. On the way, I heard that Comrade Song was at the educated youth center. Luckily, I met Captain Fu on the way home, and he gave me a ride.”

After Uncle Tu finished speaking, he looked at Song Shiyi, who was kneeling on the ground in disheveled clothes.

A sense of unease welled up in his heart: “Comrade Song, where’s that bag of medicine?”

An educated youth looked at Song Shiyi with disdain and pointed at Song Shiyi and Fang Shishen on the ground.

He sneered, “There, it was eaten by the two cows kneeling and lying on the ground.”

Uncle Tu was immediately flustered.

He said anxiously, “My god! That’s medicine for livestock! It’s potent! If people take it, if they take too much, they could die!”

That’s right!

Su Wantang in the book was killed by this bag of medicine!

The village chief and Shen Yu looked at Song Shiyi kneeling on the ground, their eyes full of disappointment.

With Uncle Tu’s words, everyone understood.

The medicine wasn’t given to them by Su Wantang, but by Song Shiyi herself.

The village chief said angrily, “This matter must be dealt with seriously! Shen Yu, lock them up first, and assign someone to guard them! Tomorrow, we’ll hold a general meeting of educated youths to publicly criticize Song Shiyi and Fang Shishen! After the criticism, we’ll send them to the farm to correct their wrong thinking!”

Shen Yu nodded; he agreed with the village chief’s decision.

Such behavior must not be tolerated.

Otherwise, with so many young men and women in the educated youth center, if they all followed this bad example, it would be utter chaos!

Song Shiyi kept shouting that she was framed by Su Wantang, but no one believed her anymore.

She and Fang Shishen were dragged away…

Seeing the matter finally settled, before going home, Su Wantang didn’t forget to flatter Shen Yu and the village chief.

She smiled innocently, “Uncle Shen, Village Chief, thank you for being so just and upright. Having good comrades like you guarding Pinghe Village is truly a blessing for the entire village!”

After hearing Su Wantang’s words, the village chief and Shen Yu both widened their eyes slightly.

They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with appreciation.

The village chief nodded slightly, while Shen Yu smiled at Su Wantang.

This girl, she’s a smooth talker!

Shen Yu stepped forward, looking at Su Wantang with affection, “Little Wan, it’s so late, Uncle Shen will send you back.”

Su Wantang quickly waved her hand, about to refuse, but before she could speak.

Fu Yanci said, “No need to trouble yourself. I’m sending Uncle Tu back, and it’s on the way to send Comrade Su back as well.”

Shen Yu wouldn’t feel at ease if someone else sent her.

But this was Fu Yanci!

Not only was he a military officer, but he was also Su Wantang’s fiancé.

He would send Su Wantang back safely, Shen Yu was one hundred percent assured.

Shen Yu smiled, nodding for Su Wantang, “Alright, alright! Then I’ll trouble Captain Fu. Be careful on the road!”

Su Wantang had no choice but to follow Fu Yanci out.

After walking a few steps, she saw a jeep parked not far ahead.

Thinking that it was only a short distance from the educated youth center to her home, she could walk home before getting in and out of the car.

She simply bypassed the jeep and walked straight towards home.

Uncle Tu, looking at her back, poked his head out of the car window and asked, “Hey, hey, hey! Little Wan, why aren’t you getting in the car?”

Su Wantang turned back, pointed to her house, and replied, “Uncle Tu, my house is just ahead, I’ll just walk back myself, goodbye!”

Uncle Tu smiled and whispered to Fu Yanci, who hadn’t gotten into the car, “Captain Fu, I think Little Wan is shy, isn’t she?”

Hearing Uncle Tu’s words, Fu Yanci finally came to his senses and straightened up.

He called out to her, “Comrade Su, please wait a moment.”
