Upon hearing this, Xie Ersao immediately came over, "Who wronged you?"
Xie Qingyu frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. "That Liu Zhiqing, I originally wanted to say a few words to her. We were walking by the river when she slipped and fell in. I reached out to pull her up, but I couldn't hold on, and she fell in. After she was rescued, she said that I pushed her in!"
Xie Qingyu was pampered and spoiled, and she was also very straightforward in front of her family.
"What Liu Zhiqing? You mean the weakest one at the educated youth settlement?" Xie Ersao asked.
Seeing Xie Qingyu nod, she began to speak, "She looks quite nice, how can she be so malicious?"
"Did you talk about her?" Wang Guifang didn't have time to pay attention to Xie Ersao.
"With so many villagers here, how could she possibly wrong me?" Xie Qingyu clapped her hands nonchalantly.
Wang Guifang breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just returned from digging the ditch when she heard someone say that Xie Qingyu had been wronged. Although she immediately found out the whole story and knew that Xie Qingyu was fine, she was still relieved to hear it from her own ears.
"You're making baseless accusations and ruining your reputation!" Wang Guifang was furious; her daughter had never suffered such an injustice in the village.
"It's alright, she apologized to me and knows it wasn't me who pushed her," Xie Qingyu quickly comforted Wang Guifang upon seeing the situation.
Seeing Wang Guifang looking at her, she quickly said, "I'm very sharp-tongued, I silenced her completely."
Seeing Xie Qingyu like this, Wang Guifang's expression softened a bit.
Xie Ersao, who was standing to the side, quickly chimed in. She was always the first to suffer if her mother-in-law got angry, so she cooperated with Xie Qingyu at this moment, saying, "You're only like this when you're at home. You become timid when you go out. Your mother spoils you so much that you're a bully at home."
"I didn't."
Seeing Xie Qingyu's lively demeanor, Wang Guifang finally felt completely relieved. "It's good that you're alright."
"Yes, yes, maybe she just mistook your pulling gesture for you pushing her." Xie Ersao tried to get the matter off Wang Guifang's hands as soon as possible.
It would have been better if she hadn't brought it up, because Wang Guifang exploded as soon as she did: "What do you mean you can't tell the difference? Can't you tell the difference between murder and saving someone? If there weren't so many people watching, she would have wrongly accused someone to death as soon as she opened her mouth."
Knowing she had said the wrong thing, Xie Ersao dared not utter a sound.
Fortunately, the rest of the family returned at that time.
In front of them were children who had gone to call the adults back for dinner, followed by Xie Qingyu's three older brothers and her sister-in-law.
Several people came back, put down their farm tools, and came over, especially her third brother, who was a year older than Xie Qingyu even though they weren't married yet. He came over and patted her head, "What happened? I heard you were bullied."
The two older brothers who came over didn't say anything, but they were also waiting for Xie Qingyu's reply.
"Who dares to bully me?"
"Who can't be bullied? You have no brains at all." Third Brother Xie reached out to flick her forehead, but she dodged it with lightning speed.
"Alright, let's eat first." Xie, the Party Secretary, who followed in, knew what had happened from the sight of the family surrounding Xie Qingyu. He smacked his lips twice, still holding the welding fumes in his mouth.
Xie Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief when no one questioned her further.
Today, it was Sister Xie's turn to cook. Her cooking is always bland and lacks flavor. Everyone ate in silence, no one spoke, and they just finished eating quickly.
After finishing his meal, Xie Sange immediately got up and left.
"It's just a misunderstanding, just behave yourself!" Secretary Xie said.
Without turning his head, Xie Sange said, "I'll just go ask. Don't worry, sir."
He has long legs and walks fast; his nonchalant manner clearly shows he didn't take Secretary Xie's words to heart.
Of the family members, the third son is the one who loves to bicker with the youngest daughter the most, and he is also the closest to her.
So Secretary Xie could tell at a glance that he was in such a hurry because he wanted to seek justice for his little girl.
Normally, he wouldn't stand for anyone bullying his daughter.
But he is the brigade party secretary, and just a few days ago the higher authorities emphasized that none of the educated youth under his command should get into trouble.
There have always been some villages that have gone too far in bullying educated youth, especially female educated youth, who are most likely to be targeted by some hooligans.
Therefore, he cannot do anything right now.
Seeing this, Xie Ersao began to wink and communicate with Xie Dasao beside her.
Unfortunately, Sister-in-law Xie, who was supposed to be on her side in the family, never took the bait, which made Sister-in-law Xie feel bored.
However, she wasn't against it.
Even if her husband went to avenge Xie Qingyu, she wouldn't stop him.
A man should be someone who stands up for others; otherwise, what's the point of being a man if he doesn't even dare to speak up when his family is being bullied?
Although Xie Ersao herself was a bit clueless, she still had some experience when it came to finding men.
"Go and take a look later, and tell your third brother to start digging the ditch as soon as possible," Secretary Xie said to Xie Qingyu.
It's late summer now, and the autumn harvest is just around the corner.
With the autumn harvest approaching, there have been many torrential rains. Last year, mudslides blocked most of the irrigation ditches, so they need to be dug up early this year.
Almost everyone in the village was doing this work; even Sister Xie Er only worked for a while before coming back early to cook.
It was clear from Secretary Xie's words that he only wanted Xie Laosan to dig the ditch, and had no intention of letting Xie Qingyu do it at all.
"I understand. I'll go find him later and make sure he's not delayed from work at all," Xie Qingyu said firmly.
"Alright, go to work first. We'll talk about it when we get back tonight." Secretary Xie walked away with his hands behind his back, and the rest of the people followed.
Even Xie Ersao, after washing the dishes, lingered for a while before going.
The children disappeared as soon as they finished eating.
Xie Qingyu first went back to the house and familiarized herself with everything inside.
Looking at the rattan-lined kettle, the several large quilts made of pretty fabric, the big wardrobe, and the face cream on the dressing table, one can tell how pampered the original owner was at home.
This is also why she has always been confident and self-assured.
So when those educated youths first went to the countryside, she was only curious, not envious.
Most of the educated youth didn't even live as well as she did.
It wasn't until this batch of people, when Liu Qingqing and He Shen went to the countryside, that the original owner became very interested and took the initiative to approach Liu Qingqing.
But this plot twist is truly outrageous.
They have been in the countryside for more than three months now, and they have basically become familiar with the village.
Even Xie Qingyu couldn't figure out what Liu Qingqing was trying to do by falsely accusing her.
The original owner had never shown any affection for He Shen, so she shouldn't have incurred Liu Qingqing's wrath.
Xie Qingyu didn't understand for a moment.
However, if that's the case, there must be a reason.
Xie Qingyu didn't dwell on this matter.
After familiarizing herself with the room, she opened the door and went out to find her third brother, Xie Xixing.
Before they even left the courtyard, Xie Xixing returned.
Xie Xixing's expression was neither good nor bad. He simply handed Xie Qingyu a few candies and said, "Don't go near those educated youths if you have nothing to do. With your little tricks, you're no match for them."
