Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 217 Human Heart

Even though the onlookers tried to stop them quickly, Chen Lei and the man still had several cuts on their bodies.

One was concentrated on the arm and the other on the back, and the emerald green corn leaves were stained with a hint of blood.

Zhuang Shouren rushed over angrily, smashing the hoe in his hand in front of the two men. He glared at them and shouted, "Go ahead, keep fighting! Come on, grab the sickle and hoe and keep fighting! If you kill me, I'll help you dig a hole and bury you! Keep going!"

"Captain, it's not that I want to fight, it's mainly because Chen Zhiqing's words are so rude..." The man, with shoe prints gradually appearing on his face, was busy trying to excuse himself.

Chen Lei was so angry that he pointed at the other person and cursed, "You think you can be nice when you talk? You've been asking me for meat like a beggar all morning. How dare you say that? Why are you embarrassed to admit it? You have no shame!"

"Okay, shut up! Chen Zhiqing, you should say less. Just let him talk nonsense. It's his own fault that he's talking so much. Just focus on picking your corn." Zhuang Shouren shouted, then looked at Chen Lei with a frown.

Chen Lei snorted in dissatisfaction, "Am I deaf? They can harass me as they please, saying this for a while, then that for a while, what am I made of? Do I have no temper?"

"It won't hurt me to say a few words to you! You are an educated youth and an educated person. Why do you bother with these ignorant farmers?" The captain of the third team stood up and used moral blackmail.

Chen Lei glanced at him, then at all the villagers around him, and saw that they all looked at him with disdain, as if he was the one who was making trouble and provoking the dispute. For a moment, he felt chilled and angry. He clenched his fists hanging beside him, bit his cheeks and endured it again and again, and finally lowered his head, "I understand."

Because I am an educated youth and an outsider, is it my fault that I quarreled with the villagers and fought with them? Chen Lei turned around with self-mockery, broke off a corn and threw it into the basket, one after another, and he continued to work silently.

When the other villagers saw that he was so sensible, they turned around with satisfaction and smiled at the man with the shoe prints.

Seeing that the quarrel had subsided, Zhuang Shouren and the captain of Team 3 left with satisfaction.

In the whole incident, the only people who suffered injustice were Chen Lei and other educated youth with the same status as him.

The villagers vented their emotions openly and also found out the bottom line of the team leader and his men, and they were all extremely satisfied.

After the sun sets, the educated youth who went out to work return to the educated youth site with heavy steps.

In the backyard, smoke was already rising; the wild boar meat had been stewed for a long time and the aroma was already spreading.

But when the old educated youth smelled the scent, they suddenly no longer found it fragrant. Perhaps it was because they felt bitter inside, they didn’t even have the mood to cook dinner.

Luo Xinci walked to the backyard and fell directly on the steps. She looked at the sky outside the patio and murmured, "How terrible."

Yuan Jiaojiao also sat down and nodded after hearing her words, "Yes, it's very different from when we first came here. Sometimes when I think about half a year ago, I feel like it was a dream." But the reality is horrifying.

Not because of being excluded, but because of their hypocrisy, the masks they wear.

If their masks were never removed, Yuan Jiaojiao would not be able to see the truth behind them, and she would not have to worry about more terrible things happening in the future. But now that she has seen and experienced it, she does not know where the bottom line of the villagers in the construction team is, and she is afraid because of the unknown.

Luo Xinci looked at her, held her hand and smiled, "Sister Jiaojiao, don't worry, my brother will definitely complete the formalities and come here soon."

"Yeah." Yuan Jiaojiao nodded. She could only place her hopes on Luo Chengxin.

Xue Li looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "You don't cook?"

"I don't have much appetite." Luo Xinci didn't want to eat. She felt her stomach was heavy and oppressive.

"No matter what, you still have to go to work tomorrow and eat. Otherwise, how can you handle the heavy workload during the harvest?" Although Xue Li didn't know what happened, he still felt that eating was more important.

Luo Xinci sighed. She knew that not eating was bad for her health, but she really wasn’t in the mood right now.

"Your brother is still waiting for dinner." Xue Li pointed to Zhao Chunjiang's room.

"If he wants to eat, just get up and cook it himself! He has a sullen face all day long, as if I owe him something! Every time I cook for him, he complains that it's unpalatable, tasteless and unnutritious! I'm too lazy to serve him!" It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as she mentioned her brother, Luo Xinci exploded.

Luo Chengli was indeed a bit unreasonable. He was sarcastic because of Li Fenfang. If it was directed at another person, everyone would say that Li Fenfang deserved it. However, he picked on the weak and bullied his own sister every day. It was really speechless.

There were several times when he threw his chopsticks and scolded Luo Xinci for wasting food and her poor cooking skills, and he really didn't hold back his voice at all, wishing he could shout until the entire educated youth site could hear him.

Luo Xinci didn't bother with him because he was injured. But she was also wronged by the villagers today. The two combined made her explode. Whoever wants to serve her can serve her!

The next second, there was a sound of something falling in Zhao Chunjiang's room.

Luo Xinci snorted, turned around and shouted at the door, "Go ahead and throw everything off your bed! I'm not the one with nothing to use anyway! You lunatic, if you have the guts, get up and show off to Li Fenfang, what's the point of tormenting me! I don't owe you anything!"

"Shut up!" an angry roar came from the room.

"If you have the guts, come out and hit me!" Luo Xinci became even angrier. When she was at home, she was the darling of the family and everyone had to give in to her and coax her. Why should she have to endure Luo Chengli's bullying after coming to the countryside?

It was obviously not her who did anything wrong, and she had been good enough to this sick brother during this period of time. If he was angry, he could go to whoever he wanted to go to. She would not suffer this pain!

Luo Chengli didn't know what he had dropped.

Xue Li looked at the clanging room and shook his head. This kind of man, tsk.

Just then, Li Fenfang walked into the alley and was about to go to the room to get food.

Originally thinking that she would be embarrassed, several people who wanted to watch the show immediately stared at her.

But Li Fenfang was not affected at all. She walked into the room calmly, filled up half a bowl of rice grits, locked the door, and walked back to the front yard calmly.

"It's so funny! People don't care about you at all! Just keep on acting like that!" Seeing this, Luo Xinci shouted even louder towards the room. After she finished shouting, she felt much better.

As expected, people should never waste their energy on internal consumption. If you are angry, you should vent it. If you are unhappy, you should speak it out! Whoever makes me unhappy, I will make him even more unhappy!

Luo Xinci raised her little head and proudly went into the room to get food.
