The young man's words became more and more sharp, and Zhong Qingqing's face became redder and redder.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to talk about me behind my back."

Maybe there were too many people talking, and although everyone's voices were not loud, Zhong Qingqing could hear them without listening carefully. Knowing that these people were deliberately disgusting her, Zhong Qingqing reluctantly listened for a while, her heart sank, and she gritted her teeth and spoke.

There was a sudden noise around.

"Make way, Secretary Wang is here!"

The circle of young people squeezed together to create an extra seat, making it easier for Secretary Wang to walk directly to the cow that was giving birth.

"How's it going? Did the delivery go well?"

In the production team, all cattle, horses, pigs and sheep were the public property of the production team. Having these livestock meant having sufficient means of production, so Secretary Wang was so concerned about the birth of cows.

"It's okay, it's a bit difficult to give birth."

After briefly observing the cow's condition and confirming that there would be no major problems, Secretary Wang pushed his glasses and turned to look at the young people who had gathered around to watch the fun. He cleared his throat and said, "It's lunch time, everyone is here."

It was rare to see Secretary Wang, who was usually kind, put on such a serious face. All the young people immediately felt that something was wrong. They looked around and stopped joking and joking as before.

"Have you heard about what happened in the county?"

As soon as Secretary Wang finished speaking, Su Wanwan's heart suddenly trembled.

Could it be that what the young man said outside the radio station just now was true?

"What's going on? Secretary Wang." There were some people in the crowd who didn't quite understand.

"It's still about the Xu family. Xu Yan disappeared in the county town." Secretary Wang closed his eyes tiredly. "We don't know where he is now. If anyone in our village knows about him, please report to me as soon as possible."

"I heard a few years ago that the third son of the Xu family was dishonest. At that time, I didn't believe it and thought that it was Old Man Xu who wanted to embarrass his son. Now everyone sees it, right? The third son of their family was born to collect debts!"

I don't know who started the conversation, but the group of young people who had been quiet all nodded in agreement.

In this day and age, whether or not one can have a full meal is a problem, but Xu Yan can actually drive a car. At first, everyone thought there might be some other hidden secrets, but later, after learning more, they realized how much the car was worth, and the inevitable jealousy gradually surged in their hearts.

Therefore, many people have speculated that Xu Yan may have ways to make money that they don't know about.

Naturally, the initial curious observation turned into watching the fire from the other side of the river.

Everyone hoped that this fire would burn Xu Yan to death.

"It would be fine if he just gave birth to a bad boy, but I heard that this time Old Man Xu was making a fuss about returning home from the village clinic because he couldn't stand what happened to his third child and felt he had no face to continue living in the clinic!"

Listening to the discussions around him, Secretary Wang's expression seemed to change, but upon closer inspection, he still had a kind face, which made people feel vaguely unfamiliar.

Ever since Secretary Wang said the last sentence, Su Wanwan felt her brain buzzing. Although she could hear the sounds around her clearly, she seemed to have lost the ability to think.

She struggled to go over and ask Secretary Wang what was going on, but her legs were out of control, forcing her to stand still without moving.

"Hey, Qingqing, what on earth did you like about him in the first place? Was it because he had all that money from speculation that attracted you?"

A few nosy young women from the countryside did not miss any opportunity to embarrass Zhong Qingqing and immediately turned the conversation to Zhong Qingqing.

Zhong Qingqing, who had just been tough, was still blushing, half of her body leaning on the crutches in her hands, and she was nervous and excited.

"Can you please stop spitting blood on me? I went to Xu's house to cook before because there was no one to go back and cook, and there was a younger brother who needed to be taken care of!"

Zhong Qingqing's explanation simply fell on deaf ears to the young men nearby.

"Oh, I remember Xu Yan looked quite handsome. He was one of the more handsome young men in our village." Several young women gathered at the railing, obviously wanting to laugh at him collectively.

"If you're talking about handsome, Yan Wenxuan from our village is also quite handsome. He's a clean-shaven young man who went to the countryside. Unfortunately, he's too thin and his personality is average. It's a pity for his face."

The young men who were making a fuss pushed the atmosphere here, and five or six young women formed a small circle, completely surrounding Zhong Qingqing in the middle.

"Oh, I was wondering, no wonder she wanted to get so close to Yan Wenxuan before. It turns out that she fell in love with Yan Wenxuan's face and deliberately approached Xu Yan before. Are we overthinking it? Maybe she just fell in love with Xu Yan's handsomeness!"

Listening to these people insulting her over and over again, Zhong Qingqing bit her lower lip and unconsciously clenched the crutch at hand.

"Are you done yet? It was indeed my suggestion to go to their house to cook, but I was only considering work at the time. Besides, Third Brother and I don't communicate much. Even if I really want to get close to him, I don't have the chance. You are just slandering people without any basis!"

"Hey, 'Third Brother' is out, and you're still quibbling? Was it your 'Third Brother' who held your hand and walked around the village last time?"

Zhong Qingqing's face turned even redder.

When these people mentioned Xu Yan, Su Wanwan also looked sideways and happened to see Zhong Qingqing's embarrassed look surrounded by a group of people.

Ever since she went to the town to watch a movie last time, Zhong Qingqing's reputation in the village has been completely ruined, especially in the circle of young people in the village. Both local youths and those who have moved to the countryside have deliberately kept a certain distance from her.

Not only that, other young women who went to the countryside also huddled together.

Because the young people who went to the countryside to work in the production team lived in uniformly allocated dormitories, it is possible that Zhong Qingqing had an unpleasant experience with these people in the dormitory, so that this unpleasantness had escalated from the dormitory to the point where it became known to the whole village, and Zhong Qingqing was isolated.

"What are you doing here? So many people are surrounding a little girl. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are holding a private struggle session!"

In the crowd, a figure suddenly flashed by not far from the small circle.

Fang Jili passed by with a shovel in his hand at some point, and just happened to see Zhong Qingqing being embarrassed by everyone.

When they saw Fang Jili coming, several female educated youth who had gone to the countryside were stunned. Then, they exchanged glances and said even more unpleasant words.

"Everyone knows that there is an open space in front of the radio station. How could you really have sprained your ankle? If you are pretending, just say you are pretending. Who are you trying to show off your pity to? Your 'third brother' is not here."

"That's right. Everyone knows that the radio station is run by our village chief's daughter, Su Wanwan, who works as a broadcaster there. Why did you go to look for her? Didn't you know about her past with Yan Wenxuan? Or did she not know about your past with Yan Wenxuan?"
