Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Li Meifen's voice had become a little hoarse amid the noise. In contrast, Lan Ying, who was arguing with her, remained energetic, with a gleam in her eyes.

A figure nearby, who had been watching the quarrel closely, slowly moved towards them.

When their eyes met, Lan Ying's voice suddenly became louder.

"Everyone stop arguing, Deputy Captain Feng is here!" Someone shouted this, and the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Deputy Captain Feng walked forward calmly.

Seeing the person she was expecting approaching, Lan Ying's cheeks, which had turned slightly red due to excitement, became even redder.

"What's going on? They're arguing while we're having dinner?"

Deputy Captain Feng stood in front of everyone and looked around. His gaze did not linger on Lan Ying's face for too long, but instead paid more attention to Li Meifen's expression.

"Captain Feng, please be fair and just, everyone, please have your meal. These people did that early in the morning and are now denying it. Our young people have clearly seen that they are lying. How can we tolerate such nonsense?" Lan Ying was the first to come out to explain.

"It was you who started the dispute first! If you hadn't taken the initiative to attack and stir up trouble by throwing dirty water, would the quarrel have started?"

"You did it but you don't dare to admit it, and you insist that it never happened. Are you denying the facts? Are you afraid of our accusations? Or are you feeling guilty?" Lan Ying accurately grasped the loopholes in Li Meifen's words and fought back without any hesitation.

However, thanks to the presence of Deputy Captain Feng to control the situation, the other young people involved in the war of words did not speak out in the end.

Deputy Captain Feng quickly stopped a new round of quarrel: "Okay! Is that enough? Didn't you just say that the other party started the trouble first?" His sharp eyes turned directly to Lan Ying.

"You guys who love to show off, go back to the clinic and stop messing around here."

Unexpectedly, the gloomy-faced Deputy Captain Feng would stand on her side. Before Li Meifen could utter a word of counterattack, the young people around her dispersed one after another. Only then did Bai Luwei feel at ease and leaned against a big tree to rest.

"Deputy Captain Feng... I didn't mean it just now..." Watching the crowd gradually disperse, Lan Ying was unwilling to be outdone and raised her foot to chase after Deputy Captain Feng who was about to leave.

"It wasn't intentional?" Deputy Captain Feng turned around when he heard the shout, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Lan Ying nodded quickly, as if she was afraid that the deputy captain would not believe her.

"If what you did was not deliberate, there would be no deliberate people in the world! The gossips in the village all day long, I think you are just doing nothing!" After Deputy Captain Feng said this bluntly, he inadvertently glanced at Li Meifen who was standing silently, and immediately walked towards her.

Although she was dissatisfied, Lan Ying still had to follow him.

"Deputy Captain Feng, is there anything wrong?" Li Meifen, who was immersed in the argument, asked in a low voice.

"A truly innocent person does not need to get too close to others, otherwise he will confuse right and wrong, which is not wise." Deputy Captain Feng said a meaningful sentence and then turned and left.

Although she still wanted to follow, Lan Ying, who had been taught a lesson before, realized that if she continued to stick to him like jelly, she would be laughed at by others, so she had to stand still.

"Do you think what Vice Captain Feng said just now was on your side? The Vice Captain is usually the most tolerant and generous person. He just knows your nature and doesn't want to say it." Hearing Vice Captain Feng's protection of Li Meifen, Lan Ying felt indignant.

Everyone in the village knew that Deputy Captain Feng was always indifferent to things outside of work, and even when participating in activities for young people, he was the strictest one, which made him more respected. It was this characteristic that made Lan Ying like him so much.

Therefore, what Deputy Captain Feng said to Li Meifen before leaving just now deeply hurt Lan Ying's heart.

"If you still insist on arguing, I will reject your kindness." Li Meifen's voice was hoarse, but her momentum should not be underestimated.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not argue with them. Didn't the deputy captain say it? There are too many people and too many mouths. Even if we are really innocent, we can't explain it clearly to them." Bai Luwei stood up and waved his hands to persuade them.

"Okay, let's begin the afternoon work!" Li Meifen said no more after hearing this, and only responded softly.

After the person in charge of dispatching shouted twice through the radio, the group of young people reunited for a while, but now they had to disperse unwillingly and return to their work posts.

The hard work in the morning made Su Wanwan and Li Meifen's afternoon tasks much easier, with almost nothing to do. They worked hard all morning, and the work they were given was not much.

Su Wanwan silently harvested with a sickle for an hour, and the rice field in front of her was empty, so there was no need to work anymore.

"Where were you when the argument was at its most intense?" Li Meifen asked when her rice field was almost completed.

"The room in question yesterday was not my residence. I didn't flee back in a hurry this morning, so why should I get involved?" Su Wanwan grabbed the sickle, tied the remaining rice ears into a bundle, turned her back and prepared to leave. In the production team, many young people could leave work early after finishing their work. Now, except for Li Meifen, there was no one familiar with her in Baihua Village, and it was boring to stay here.

Li Meifen followed closely, biting her lower lip and asked, "Are you afraid that they will vent their anger on you?"

She was slightly worried.

"You're right," Su Wanwan nodded in agreement. "You know your behavior is inappropriate but you still insist on doing it. It just shows that you are stupid. It's not enough to be stupid yourself, but you also want to implicate others. This is really bad."

Li Meifen was deeply hurt, but she suppressed her anger and did not show it.

"Even if you leave now, you have nowhere to go. The village chief said this morning that he would adjust our accommodation and asked us to write a self-examination. Have you written it?" she asked.

Li Meifen had just taken out the blank self-apology form she received in the morning and had not yet read it carefully when Su Wanwan's answer flew into her ears.

"I have already written the inspection." Without even raising my eyelids, "I wrote it at noon when I was arguing with them."

As the two were about to follow the instructions and reach the fork in the road, a figure appeared in front of them.

"Have you finished today's work?" A captain with an armband appeared in a hurry, mud on his hands, as if he couldn't stop for a moment.

Su Wanwan answered mechanically, "Yes, please inspect it." She did not stop.

"Well, your work can indeed be completed within the specified time. Okay, go back when you're done. After the next intersection, there will be someone waiting on the roadside who will take you to your new residence." After giving the order, the team leader quickly returned the same way.

Su Wanwan and Li Meifen quickened their pace and headed in the direction the captain pointed.

"Due to some indecent behavior, the village decided to separate men and women for accommodation," explained the youth team leader.

After hearing the explanation, Li Meifen's heart was like being splashed with water, and the anger that had been suppressed since the afternoon was rekindled: "What is the misunderstanding? How can it be called 'indecent'!"

The young man who led the way seemed to ignore her question and continued to lead Su Wanwan and the others in the opposite direction of their original residence. After they walked about half a mile, they passed most of the village and finally entered a simple courtyard.
