Chapter 22: The Asshole

Luo Ya did not follow him. She simply tidied up the things in the house, picked up the things on the ground and put them away, then threw some firewood into the stove to heat up the kang.

Then he had a light sleep. At five o'clock, he cooked a bowl of noodles in a small clay pot. After eating, he went outside to chop firewood.

When I'm lucky, I might pick up a wooden stick as thick as my arm, but it's not easy to burn it directly.

Ever since Wang Ling and Li Dongcao went to repair the bridge, Luo Ya has taken on the tasks of chopping firewood, heating the kang, and cleaning the house, and she would leave a pottery jar of hot water for the two of them at night.

Wang Ling and Li Dongcao were so moved that they would secretly give back some leftover steamed buns to Luo Ya.

The two of them shared a steamed bun made of two ounces of flour and brought back one for Luo Ya.

Luo Ya didn't refuse either. She took it happily every time and put it in the cabinet like a treasure.

Soon it was seven o'clock. The educated youth came back dragging their tired bodies. From a distance they saw only one chimney with smoke coming out. Yang Lan's heart was numb at this moment, and she felt even more unspeakable grievances.

As lesbians, Luo Ya goes out to collect firewood every day, while Wang Ling and her husband have hot water to wash their faces and feet when they come back, and the house is warm.

But what about me? I still have to heat the kang when I come back, which is fine, after all, I need hot water. But those two people didn't even pick up firewood and still thought about asking me for food, especially Lin Ping, who had a sad face every day.

Luo Ya heard the noise outside and walked out of the house. "Go inside and check your things. I happened to run into the three of them stealing things when I came back from collecting firewood today. I just cleaned up our house simply and no one else's stuff went into the house. After we're done, let's go to the village committee. Everyone is there." Luo Ya's expression did not fluctuate much.

"Luo Ya, I hope they didn't hurt you." Zhou Jun, Wang Ling and Li Dongcao rushed up at the same time, their faces full of concern.

The rest of the people rushed back to their rooms.

"I'm fine, I beat them up." Luo Ya gave the three of them a big smile. It really felt good to have someone care about you.

"Go check your things quickly, then we can go to the village committee." Luo Ya urged them.

"Let's go back to the house together." Wang Ling and Li Dongcao held Luo Ya's arm together.

Zhou Jun touched his nose and returned to his room silently.

No one was left alone in Zhou Jun's room. Only Luo Ya, Han Shengyang and Yang Lan's rooms were searched.

Everyone took a quick look and then came out, and a group of people went to the village committee in a mighty manner.

At this moment, Wang Liming and Zhao Xiaomei had already woken up. Lin Ping was sitting in the corner crying, Wang Liming was making a noise, and Zhao Xiaomei was silent and had her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Uncle Yang, we are all here. Please decide what to do about this matter." Han Shengyang glanced at the three of them without any extra emotion.

Just because of this calmness, everyone present looked up to him.

"Do you have any ideas?" Yang Shengli looked at the educated youth.

"On the way here, we had a brief discussion. Because Luo Ya came back in time, there wasn't much property loss, basically just food. But we can't accept the three of you returning to the educated youth site. After all, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days." Yang Lan stood up, her eyes red.

The one who suffered the most here was Yang Lan. Although everyone had a cabinet, the three of them lived together day and night, and the two of them basically knew everything Yang Lan had.

I found it without any effort and ate it in the morning.

"We are all educated youth who went to the countryside. Where else can we go if not to the educated youth center?" Wang Liming was a little panicked.

"In that case, we can only leave it to the educated youth." Yang Shengli took a puff of his cigarette and sighed.

This group of educated youth is so annoying.

"I won't go to the Youth Office, why should you send me there? We came to the countryside and we can't even get enough to eat." Zhao Xiaomei's voice suddenly became very sharp. "If you can't get enough to eat, then you should work hard. You don't work hard to earn work points." The village party secretary looked at Zhao Xiaomei with disdain.

"No matter how hard they try, they still have a pair of legs and everything." Zhao Xiaomei glanced at the female educated youth next to her with sarcasm.

"You, a female comrade, have serious problems with your thinking." The village party secretary was so angry at Zhao Xiaomei's criticism that he slammed the table hard.

Luo Ya and Zhou Jun looked at each other, then saw curious looks in each other's eyes, and then looked at Zhao Xiaomei together.

"I have a problem with my thinking, but Wang Juan has no problem with her thinking. There's nothing wrong with it if you, the Yang family, raise your brother as your son." Zhao Xiaomei said this and suddenly laughed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people present changed. They were saying that Wang Juan and Yang Wanshan were having an affair.

"What are you talking about?" The village party secretary was so angry that his hair stood up.

"Shut your mouth and send him to the Youth League Office tomorrow." Yang Shengli knocked on the table with his pipe, trying to end this farce.

"Brother, we need to let this girl explain clearly, otherwise my spine will be broken." The village party secretary was anxious.

"Wanshan!" Yang Shengli gave Yang Wanshan a complicated look.

"If you are upright, you have nothing to fear from your shadow. This educated youth with problematic ideas can't help you. Let's all go back." Yang Shengli said in a serious voice.

But the excitement in the eyes of those watching the fun did not dissipate.

There are many people in rural areas who gossip about their wives, and they like to make groundless accusations.

Also, people used to say Taotao looked more like his grandfather, but now his grandfather may become his father, so everyone’s divergent thinking began to take effect.

"Uncle Yang, let's go back first. When yours comes out tomorrow, let the three of them pack their luggage." Han Shengyang didn't want to help them pack their luggage.

"Okay, you should go to bed early." Yang Shengli nodded.

"Yang Lan, you don't have to go to work tomorrow. Yang Dongjun, one of you should stay behind and keep an eye on them while they pack their luggage." Han Shengyang said to them on the way back.

"Okay." Yang Lan and Yang Dongjun agreed.

Zhou Jun crossed his hands, placed them behind his head, and marched at a pace of 2.58 million.

"Luo Ya." When they were almost at the educated youth point, Zhou Jun called out to Luo Ya.

"Is there something?" Luo Ya looked at Zhou Jun with a little surprise.

"Luo Ya, you mentioned Wang Juan..." Zhou Jun frowned slightly.

"Are you afraid that Zhao Xiaomei will be retaliated against?" Luo Ya immediately understood what Zhou Jun said.

"Zhao Xiaomei will be handed over to the Youth League Office tomorrow. If he reports Wang Juan and Yang Wancheng, these two families will be completely ruined. The consequences are not something Wang Juan and Yang Wancheng can bear." Zhou Jun whispered to Luo Ya.

"If someone dies, it will be bad for the village and our educated youth." Zhou Jun couldn't bear to see Zhao Xiaomei get into trouble.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Luo Ya frowned.

"I'll go find Han Shengyang, and then we'll go find my uncle quietly. It's better to be safe than sorry." Zhou Jun's face was serious.

"If something happens to Zhao Xiaomei, wouldn't that prove what she said today?" Luo Ya frowned.
