With Lu Ze moving out of the educated youth center, the only new educated youth left were Lu Chuan, Feng Qingqing and Li Wenli.
Because of the falling out with Feng Qingqing, Li Wenli no longer helped with the work, and no longer tolerated Feng Qingqing and Lu Chuan. The three of them quarreled almost every day.
Li Wenli was at a disadvantage facing the two of them alone, and her family sent her a letter scolding her and asking her to apologize to Feng Qingqing and take good care of her, otherwise she would be in trouble.
Li Wenli was a little regretful and was thinking about whether to give in. After all, Feng Qingqing and Lu Chuan were really rich and their families were willing to spend money. But when she saw Feng Qingqing's smug look, she couldn't help but get angry.
Li Wenli then found a man to marry in the village. The family was pretty nice, and Li Wenli was hardworking and good at pleasing people, so the man treated her well.
After all, it is not easy for a rural man to marry a city girl, and Li Wenli is innocent and looks good. The family is not well off, so it is considered a good deal for her.
Xiao Xiao only learned the news when she was invited to dinner. For a moment, she couldn't help but admire him, he was also a ruthless person.
I just don't know if he is sincere or just wants to get away from Feng Qingqing and his family.
But Xiaoxiao couldn't care less. With Li Wenli's marriage, the ladies in the village seemed to have taken an interest in matchmaking, and many of them asked Xiaoxiao.
What can Xiaoxiao do? She can only perfunctorily get by. If it really doesn't work, she will say that she is still young and will not consider it for the time being.
Zhang Yumei said that she has already written to her family, hoping to move to a place closer to home, and her family is already taking action.
Two months later, just before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yumei passed away, and Lu Ze and the team leader rented Zhang Yumei's house.
Lu Ze also told his family that he wanted to move, but his family disagreed and asked him to look after Lu Chuan, saying they were afraid that Lu Chuan would cause trouble. But he really didn't want to care about it anymore.
He felt that as long as Feng Qingqing was there, Lu Chuan would never have a brain.
There was no other way, so he simply told his family to send all the money and bills to him in the future, otherwise he would not care about Lu Chuan anymore.
His family agreed and sent him a large amount of money at one time, asking him to spend it frugally, saying they would give him the rest later.
In fact, the Lu family's situation has become bad. They used to have the support of the Zhang and Feng families. But now that Zhang Yumei has returned, the Zhang family no longer cares about them, and the Feng family also has an ambiguous attitude. The Lu family's already bad situation has become even worse.
Soon, the Lu family was demoted. When Mr. Lu got the news, he took the initiative to cut off relations with the younger generations in the family before being demoted.
Lu Ze and Lu Chuan still got the news from Feng Qingqing.
This time, Lu Ze simply concealed the fact that his family had sent him money and bills. He felt that Lu Chuan would have to suffer.
Whenever Lu Chuan changed his mind, he would give half of the money to Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan didn't feel anything at first, but as the next month came and the money from home hadn't been sent to him and his money had been spent long ago, he finally began to feel it truly.
He went to find Lu Ze, but since Lu Ze had decided to teach him a lesson, he naturally would not indulge him anymore and ignored him altogether.
Feng Qingqing also distanced herself from him. Later, she got in touch with Wei Jingchuan from the old educated youth side and started fighting with the old educated youth.
Lu Chuan felt betrayed and questioned Feng Qingqing:
"Why? Haven't we been doing fine? Why did you abandon me too? Are you afraid that I will get you into trouble, or do you think I don't have money to spend on you?"
Feng Qingqing said with a wronged look on her face: "Brother Lu Chuan, how can you say that to me? Didn't you spend your own money?"
Lu Chuan: "Aren't most of them bought for you?"
Feng Qingqing: "But every time I refused to accept it, you insisted on giving it to me. How could you say that to me? We grew up together. Am I such a person in your heart?"
As she spoke, tears began to fall, as if she had been insulted.
If it were in the past, Lu Chuan would have admitted his mistake and tried to cheer her up, but now, it seems like Lu Chuan's brain has returned?
He looked at Feng Qingqing and said, "Then why didn't you tell me before running off to the old educated youth?"
Feng Qingqing said aggrievedly: "But there are only two of us, and I can't cook. I'm just afraid that you'll be too tired and don't want to add to your burden, so...
I didn't expect you to misunderstand me and say that to me, wuwuwu..."
Well, say half of what you said and leave the other half to the other person's imagination. Well, at the critical moment, turn the tables and seize the initiative.
Lu Chuan's mind ran away from home again, and he began to feel at a loss.
"I'm sorry, Qingqing. I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such nonsense. Please don't leave. Let's stay together. I'm not afraid of getting tired. Trust me, I can take good care of you."
Feng Qingqing: You can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of me? I'm a fool to trust you.
She didn't respond, but just cried in grievance.
"Qingqing, please believe me. I can definitely do it. I will work hard starting tomorrow and I will definitely take good care of you.
And there is my brother. I will go to him tomorrow and apologize to him. He must be rich. Don't worry. I won't let you live a hard life."
Feng Qingqing was still crying.
After a while, Lu Chuan had no choice but to sit aside dejectedly.
Feng Qingqing went straight back to the house.
Her family had already sent her a letter, forbidding her to have any contact with the Lu brothers, saying that she would be implicated. Thinking of the people she had seen being sent down to the countryside and the people in the cowshed, she was a little scared.
So, when she knew that Wei Jingchuan had a crush on her, she expressed to him her wish to be with other educated youth.
With Wei Jingchuan's help in speaking up, and her paying for the meat for everyone, it was indeed easy for everyone to accept it.
Wang Xiuxiu was arranged to be in the same group with her for cooking. Wei Jingchuan said that she was honest and hardworking. As for Liu Lili, who was originally in the same group with Wang Xiuxiu, she continued to be in the same group with Wang Meiling and Long Lingling.
Although Feng Qingqing felt that it was a bit unfair to have two people on one side and three people on the other, she couldn't object. Besides, Wei Jingchuan said that Wang Xiuxiu could help, so she planned to see if it would work first.
Because there was less work, Xiaoxiao would go to the mountains to collect firewood when she had nothing to do, and would continue to exchange sugar with other children. However, now every family was busy preparing firewood for the winter, and her family would not allow her to exchange sugar.
Xiaoxiao really wants to be like the heroine in the period novels, catching rabbits and pheasants when she has nothing to do, and occasionally hunting wild boars, and then exchanging them for money on the black market. Unfortunately, that is totally impossible.
She tried to see if she could fit it into the space, but it turned out that she had to have contact with it. She could only see pheasants and rabbits, but she couldn't catch them, so she could only envy them.
She had no hunting skills, so she tried various methods but finally gave up.
