"You're welcome," Chen Fang said with a smile, having a good impression of Fu Wenwen. "May I be so bold as to ask, why were you with the police?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you more next time I have a chance," Fu Wenwen replied with a smile, whispering to Chen Fang. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Chen Fang nodded. After watching Fu Wenwen and Xu Lin leave, she immediately called out, "Next!"
After leaving the post office with Xu Lin, Fu Wenwen headed towards Honghe Village.
Meanwhile, in Honghe Village, Su Xiaoxiao, who was working in the fields, felt gazes from all directions. The nearby villagers looked at her as if she were some kind of pest.
It wasn't just Su Xiaoxiao; the educated youths all felt that the atmosphere in the village today was off.
Although their relationships hadn't been great in the past, there had at least been some smiles.
Today, the villagers' gazes were filled with scrutiny and wariness, and some even avoided them directly.
The two female educated youths stood in a line with Su Xiaoxiao. They also felt the villagers' stares, and though they were puzzled, they couldn't ask.
It wasn't until they finished a morning's work and were resting in the shade that one female educated youth went back to the educated youth dormitory to cook. The remaining female educated youths, preferring to stand with the male educated youths rather than Su Xiaoxiao, finally understood who the villagers' stares were directed at.
Because Su Xiaoxiao stood alone under a different tree, all the villagers' eyes were fixed on her.
Upon noticing this situation, a female educated youth asked the male educated youths, "What did Su Xiaoxiao do to make everyone stare at her like that? Do you know?"
"If you don't know, how would we?" a male educated youth quickly replied.
"I find it strange. Their attitude towards us today is so bad, and they keep glancing over. They were originally looking at Su Xiaoxiao," another male educated youth said, raising an eyebrow and looking at Liu Zihua. "Zihua, do you know?"
"No," Liu Zihua replied. He watched the villagers stare at Su Xiaoxiao with disgust. Though he found it strange, he didn't want to get involved.
"Aren't you going to help her?" the female educated youth glanced at Liu Zihua. Didn't he always help Su Xiaoxiao? Why was he so indifferent now?
"That's her problem. Why should I help her?" Liu Zihua said indifferently.
They were in Honghe Village now. Offending the villagers of Honghe Village was clearly an irrational move. He didn't know when he would have a chance to return to the city, and he didn't want to offend anyone.
Hearing Liu Zihua's words, the educated youths couldn't help but exchange glances. They looked at Liu Zihua and fell silent.
Seeing that they knew nothing, the female educated youth decided it was better to ask herself. She walked to the shade of a nearby tree and approached an aunt she usually got along with. "Auntie, did something happen? Why is everyone staring at Su-zhiqing today?"
Aunt Xu glanced at the female educated youth. Seeing her clueless expression, she pulled her closer and told her what had happened the previous night.
"You mean... Fu Wenwen's incident was all Su Xiaoxiao's plan?" the female educated youth looked at Aunt Xu in shock.
Aunt Xu nodded. "Zhang Laosan said it himself, so it must be true! We were all wondering! We didn't know where Fu-zhiqing had gone at the time, but Su-zhiqing led us straight to that small grove. How could you say Su-zhiqing wasn't involved?"
