In the end, Li Juan still accepted the two cents.
Liu Linlin said sarcastically from the side, "Serving her for a while wasn't without its benefits. I was wondering why you were running around so frequently."
Li Juan's face flushed red: "I didn't."
Song Wei glanced at Liu Linlin: "You don't even live by the sea, yet you're so nosy. This is between me and Li Zhiqing, what right do you have to interfere?"
Liu Linlin slammed the pot down on the stove: "Song Wei, what do you mean? Besides, Li Juan and I weren't even talking, why are you interrupting?"
Li Juan: "Stop arguing."
Liu Linlin: "You really did get a temper from jumping into the water and ending up in the hospital, and now you can't even be criticized?"
Li Juan quickly explained: "Liu Linlin, don't say that. Song Wei didn't jump into the water, she accidentally fell into the river."
Because Song Wei's explanation on the oxcart was quite logical. After all, if it were her, she had given Luo Yecheng so much, and she wouldn't be willing to accept not getting anything in return.
Liu Linlin scoffed, "You say so, so it is? Everyone knows that Song Wei shamelessly chased after Luo Zhiqing. It's normal for her to be heartbroken and jump into the river when she suddenly hears that he's going to form a revolutionary partnership with someone else
. After all, some people are truly shameless." Song Wei retorted, "I don't know if I'm shameless, but I do know you're quite shameless. After all, I have some connection with that bastard Luo Yecheng because we're from the same place.
But you're different. If I remember correctly, when Luo Yecheng was dating Jiang Xiaowan, you even gave him gifts a few times. Do you really think everyone else is stupid and blind?"
Liu Linlin was clearly short-tempered and had become enraged after being reprimanded by Song Wei. She lunged at her.
"Song Wei, you bitch!"
Oh, so she wanted to fight.
She stretched her arms and legs, and in Li Juan's shocked and dumbfounded gaze, she grabbed Liu Linlin's outstretched wrist and then lightly tossed her away.
Li Juan: !!
She thought Song Wei would be the one who suffered, after all, she looked so weak.
This scene was witnessed by the educated youth returning from work.
Song Wei glanced at them but ignored them.
"You started it!"
Liu Linlin fell to the ground, hitting her nose face-first, and screamed in pain, cursing as she did so.
The educated youth, realizing what was happening, rushed forward to stop her: "Song Wei, what are you doing?"
Luo Yecheng quickly helped Liu Linlin up from the ground and then said to Song Wei, "How could you hit someone!"
Liu Linlin covered her face, her eyes red as she glared at her angrily.
Song Wei sneered and rolled her eyes at him: "Luo Yecheng, you're not only a scumbag, but you're also blind. Are your eyes on a dog's head? Didn't you see she was the one who wanted to hit me?"
"You..."
Luo Yecheng was completely taken aback by Song Wei's words, his face immediately darkening: "You shouldn't have hit her so hard."
"Stop talking nonsense! I not only want to hit her, I want to hit you too! Give me back all those tickets Luo Yecheng gave you! You took so much from me and then got into a fight with another woman! Do you think I'm a sucker?"
Luo Yecheng's expression turned ugly: "Song Wei, stop making a scene. You just came from the hospital and need to rest first..."
"I'm telling you now to save you face. Don't force me to cause trouble at your wedding with Jiang Xiaowan; then nobody will have any face left."
Luo Yecheng hadn't expected Song Wei to say all this in front of everyone.
He frowned, wanting to retort, but Song Wei didn't give him a chance.
"Luo Yecheng, I have an IOU for the bicycle tickets."
She looked at Luo Yecheng expressionlessly.
“I still have the letter you wrote when you asked me for the tickets. Don’t try to renege. Since you don’t like me, give them back now. If you’re a man, don’t take advantage and then deny it. That’s really despicable. Of course, if you really don’t want to give them back, fine. I don’t mind publicizing what kind of person you are.”
“I advise you to prepare the tickets and return them to me in the next few days.”
After saying that, she rubbed her head, rolled her eyes at Luo Yecheng and Liu Linlin, and looked like a weak Lin Daiyu with one hand supporting her head.
“I’m so angry my head hurts. I’m going back to rest. Don’t bother me unless it’s important.”
After saying that, she went straight back to the female educated youth’s room, not giving Luo Yecheng a chance to explain.
Everyone:…………
After a few seconds of eerie silence, everyone went back to what they were doing after one of the older educated youths tried to calm things down.
But Luo Yecheng was completely humiliated now, his face turning ashen.
And Liu Linlin too.
But what everyone was more curious about than that was Song Wei’s change.
"How come she's changed so much?"
"They've completely fallen out and aren't giving Luo Yecheng any face at all."
"Li Juan, do you know what happened?"
Li Juan was also angry, but she was too shy to speak ill of Luo Yecheng in front of him.
"It must be what Song Zhiqing said."
She said vaguely, "But Song Zhiqing didn't jump into the river for Luo Zhiqing, everyone misunderstood her."
Li Juan could still help explain this, so she explained Song Wei's story on the oxcart to everyone again.
Song Wei didn't jump into the river because she was heartbroken, but accidentally slipped and fell in, which surprised them all.
One of the female educated youths widened her eyes: "But everyone says it's..." She didn't
finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she was going to say next.
Li Juan said angrily: "That's all what that old woman Niu spread. Didn't Song Wei have a conflict with her when she first came to the countryside? She deliberately spread that!"
Song Wei, who was in the room, could hear their discussion at this moment, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
Her head still ached a bit; the original owner had hit her head on a rock when she jumped into the river, leaving a large bump. She decided
to take a nap first.
When Song Wei woke up, the other educated youths had already left and were probably at work. She, having just been discharged from the hospital, was entitled to a day off.
After getting up, Song Wei packed her things; the original owner hadn't brought much money or coupons.
Her family situation was somewhat complicated: her father was her biological father, but her mother was her stepmother. Her stepmother, her biological father, and their son, along with a daughter brought by her stepmother, were all involved.
As the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and this was quite fitting for the original owner.
The original owner didn't have to go to the countryside; her biological mother had saved her job before she died, waiting for her to graduate from school and take her place.
However, one of the two girls in the Song family who had just graduated from high school had to go to the countryside.
So, Song Wei's job was taken by her stepmother, who signed her up for the countryside without her knowledge. By the time she found out, it was too late.
