Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Chapter 17 The Dumb Bride of the 7th Generation 7

Shi Yan had no say in Fu Sheng's affairs. Moreover, textbooks were extremely precious at that time and could not be given to them just by asking for them.

Shi Yan didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, until the female comrade standing at the edge spoke up and interrupted the atmosphere.

"Cai Feng, why are you saying this to her? She's a mute and can't respond to you."

"Let's just sit here and wait. When Fu Zhiqing comes back, we'll ask him for it. Don't waste time talking to her."

After saying this, the man walked towards the table in the yard where Shi Yan studied, and then he saw the high school textbooks and exercise books on the table at a glance.

"Look, aren't there high school textbooks here?"

Fang Feifei picked up the textbook on the table, her face full of joy, and when she saw the matching exercise books on the table, Fang Feifei wanted to take these books away right away.

When the others heard what Fang Feifei said, they also came forward.

"Really. It's from a high school textbook."

"I've only finished half of this exercise. This is Xiaohua's, right? From the above, you can tell that I got interrupted halfway through writing it." Cai Feng said, feeling a little embarrassed.

When Shi Yan heard them mention her, she hurried over to take the textbook away, but Fang Feifei took the textbook and workbook first.

"Comrade Fang, what are you doing? How can you touch other people's things without permission?"

"What do you mean by moving it around? Why would a mute like her study and get into university? It's a waste of resources, why not let us use it?"

As Fang Feifei spoke, she glanced in Shi Yan's direction with disdain.

Shi Yan tried to grab the textbook and Fang Feifei hid. The two struggled for a while. Fang Feifei became impatient and pushed Shi Yan hard, and Shi Yan fell to the ground.

Tears as big as beans slid down her face. Everyone watched as Yan twitched and sat on the ground, feeling sorry for her.

"Don't pretend to be nice people. Don't you want these books? She is a mute but she has books and exercise books. It's obvious that Fu Zhiqing gave them to her. Just think about how many sets of books Fu Zhiqing could have. He gave them all to this mute. What else can we borrow?"

"Everyone should go to the house and take a look while there is still time. Maybe the whole set of books is there. Let's take them away quickly. Even if Fu Zhiqing comes back, he won't be able to find out who took them away. After all, no one saw us coming."

"This mute can't speak, so we can do this without anyone noticing. Even if Fu Zhiqing comes looking for us, we will just deny it."

Fang Feifei walked into the house first. As soon as she entered the room, she saw piles of neatly arranged textbooks on the desk by the window. She immediately walked forward to choose some, and they turned out to be a complete set of high school textbooks and workbooks.

"Look, here are a whole set of books. If you don't come and take them, then all these things will belong to me."

Fang Feifei tried to get everyone to stand on the same front with her, but unexpectedly no one responded to what she said.

"Everything belongs to you?"

A male voice with suppressed anger sounded. Fang Feifei looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fu Sheng supporting Shi Yan, who was still shedding tears.

"Fu Zhiqing, you're back. We came here to borrow textbooks today. Xiaohua agreed to lend them to me. I can't carry them by myself."

Fang Feifei pretended to remain calm and moved towards the gate.

"Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

"Fu Zhiqing, I don't understand what you are saying. I have to go home to see my kids, so I'll leave first."

Fang Feifei was one of the first female educated youth who married a fellow villager in Tianshui Village. Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, it is her only way to return to the city. She has had enough of her illiterate husband, her extremely partial parents-in-law, and her daughter who just cries every day.

As long as she returns to the city after taking the college entrance examination, she can escape from the poor life here and become a city dweller again.

So she is now shameless. Even if she is caught by the real owner, she still wants to run out of the yard immediately with the book in her arms. However, she didn't expect that when she was about to leave the yard, Zhuang Ze appeared at the gate, and following behind him was her mean mother-in-law.

"You shameless money loser, it's bad enough that you can't give birth to a son, and now you run out to steal things, I'll beat you to death."

Although the woman had some gray hair on her temples, she was full of energy. She walked up to Fang Feifei, grabbed her ear and dragged her out, while the book in her hand was snatched away by Zhuang Ze who was standing beside her.

Although Fang Feifei was dragged away by her mother-in-law, the matter was not over yet. There were still three men and three women standing in the yard with their heads lowered in shame.

"Are you guys here to borrow books too?"

Fu Sheng put great emphasis on the word "borrow", and the faces of those who followed Fang Feifei blushed even more.

In the end, Cai Feng, feeling guilty, was the first to speak up:

"Fu Zhiqing, I'm really sorry. We originally wanted to find a few educated youth to borrow books, but Comrade Fang was a little too radical after seeing the books. But we were also wrong for not stopping her immediately."

"Xiaohua, I'm really sorry."

Cai Feng's attitude was very sincere, and his eyes were full of guilt when he looked at Shi Yan.

Fu Sheng also turned his gaze to the little girl, wanting to see what she was thinking. Seeing the sincere expressions of these people, he also had some plans in his mind, but he still had to put the little girl's will first.

Shi Yan's display of weakness and grievance just now was just to maintain her character. Even when she fell to the ground, she used her plant-based abilities to protect herself, and she didn't feel any pain at all.

In view of Cai Feng's sincere attitude, Shi Yan twitched and nodded, indicating that she forgave him.

The people present all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shi Yan's actions.

"Since you are here to borrow books, you are from the same village as Xiaohua, so it's not impossible for me to lend you books, but I only have this set of high school textbooks. Usually, when I see Xiaohua has nothing to do, I will teach her high school knowledge. I don't need to review, so I don't need to use the books."

"But Xiaohua wants to study. She is quite talented. If she studies hard, she can definitely come back to the capital with me to take the college entrance examination."

"You come to borrow books now, but Xiaohua is missing some of them in her studies."

The people present were all feeling anxious because of what Fu Sheng said.

"Let's put it this way. We are all from the same village. I have been here for such a long time and I want to give back to the village. If everyone can get into college and achieve academic success in the future, they can also give back to the village."

"I have a day off tomorrow, so I'll ask the team leader if he can clear out an empty room in the team headquarters. Then we can study there every day and take turns using books. When it's time to get off work, Xiaohua can take them home."

"This kind of centralized learning not only creates a good atmosphere, but also eliminates the worry that someone will take the book home and damage or lose it. The most important thing is that we can learn together and ask each other for help if we don't understand something. What do you think?"

Fu Sheng is not a kind-hearted person. He did this just to make the little girl less bored when she was alone at home. At the same time, these people felt guilty and would take better care of the little girl.
