Shortly after Yin Yin returned to school, Di Heping received a job offer and became a full-time employee at the cannery.

As soon as the news came out, countless more people came to propose marriage to Di Heping, forcing him to go to town ahead of schedule.

By the time Di Heping had established himself at the cannery, Yin Yin was nearing the end of her high school years.

When she graduated, neither the cannery nor other units in the town were hiring more. Although she could have found other ways to stay, Yinyin still chose to return to her hometown.

As a fresh high school student with no one to steal her thunder, her popularity surpassed that of Di Heping back then.

Although she is a girl, she is of sound mind, a local, and has impeccable revolutionary credentials.

Given that both were high school students, the production brigade naturally preferred to use her over the educated youth from outside the area.

Moreover, although Yinyin is a high school student, she has a good personality and never looks down on people because of their education. She also speaks nicely and can chat with people from the brigade or educated youth who come to the meeting.

Because she was young and unmarried, many people privately called her the most beautiful girl in the brigade.

"Yinyin, have you heard?" On the way to Qinghe Village, Comrade Zheng, an older colleague who had become familiar with Yinyin, seemed to suddenly remember something, "Do you still remember that educated youth named Feng Mingyue from Qinghe Village a few years ago?"

"I remember," Yinyin calculated the time, "Did she come out?"

Comrade Zheng nodded and said mysteriously, "I heard that someone saw her in town a few days ago."

"In our town?" Yinyin said in surprise. "Shouldn't she go home? Or does she have to go back to Qinghe Village after she gets out?"

“There’s no rule about that,” Comrade Zheng thought for a moment, “but if she comes back, we still have to take her in. We just need to be more careful with the management.”

Comrade Zheng sighed as he spoke, "Given how big a fuss she caused back then, I guess she can't go home anymore and can only come back to our brigade."

This is not necessarily true.

Yinyin thought that even if Feng Mingyue had somewhere to go, she couldn't leave Qinghe Village.

Who told her that the male lead she had been longing for was here?

Speaking of the male lead, as far as Yin Yin knows, he has returned, but his family has already arranged a marriage for him.

The girl was the male protagonist's original wife.

Without Feng Mingyue causing trouble, the girl wouldn't have been bitten by a snake, the rescue time wouldn't have been delayed, and she wouldn't have met Di Heping.

She returned to her original marriage line, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she was destined to have a harmonious and loving marriage for life.

If something unexpected happens...

When Yinyin arrived at Qinghe Village, she discovered that people in this world are truly not someone who can withstand a single word of complaint. They had only mentioned Feng Mingyue on the way, and now they saw her.

Feng Mingyue was blocked at the entrance of Qinghe Village and was not allowed to enter by the villagers.

"I was assigned to Qinghe Village, why won't you let me in!"

"You were assigned here, that's true, but you know in your heart how many good deeds you've done in our village," the villager said irritably. "Get out of here, go wherever you want, our village doesn't welcome you!"

Feng Mingyue retorted, "What do you mean 'knows what'? When I was in the village, did I not get along with you all?"

“Harmony,” an older woman scoffed, “so-called harmony is just giving advice behind people’s backs, telling them to tie up a child who hasn’t even grown up yet and suck their blood for life?”

“That’s right,” someone chimed in. “The child hasn’t even met her yet, and she’s already doing this to harm people behind their backs.”

"Oh right, I remember she also spread rumors about other people's children, didn't she?"

"If it weren't for those two female educated youths from Dijia Village coming to visit, we would all have been deceived by her."

One voice after another echoed: "Yeah, if she treats complete strangers like this, what good things can she say about us in private? She might be even worse!"

"That's right. I wouldn't dare let such a ruthless person live in our village. Otherwise, I'd feel a chill down my spine even lying at home in the middle of the night."

At first, Yin Yin was just listening, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Didn't Feng Mingyue only talk about her brother and the educated youth sisters in her old house? Could it be that she also talked about it in Qinghe Village?

Yinyin couldn't stand it anymore. She frowned and called Comrade Zheng. They quietly took a shortcut around the area.

After Yinyin went over, she pulled aside an aunt who was watching the show on the side and asked with a grim expression, "Auntie, do you know whose rumors Feng Mingyue spread before?"

“It’s Officer Di,” the auntie blurted out. “It’s Liu Laosan’s son, Heping, and those two female educated youths from Yuejin Village.”

"By the way, you're not from our village, you probably don't know that."

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Another auntie next to her pulled her aside. “Officer Di is Heping’s cousin.”

Comrade Zheng listened to a few words beside Yin Yin and roughly understood what was going on.

She frowned: "Yinyin, I remember your brother isn't much older than you, is he?"

“My brother is only two years older than me,” Yin Yin said angrily. “When Feng Mingyue came to our village to visit her friends, my brother and I were both still in junior high school.”

"Besides, Zhu Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing have a good relationship with my aunt. What did it do to her that she would talk about my brother and them behind their backs like this?"

Comrade Zheng was so angry that he almost cried, which made him feel even worse towards Feng Mingyue.

"As expected of someone capable of undermining society, they are truly of low character and evil to the core."

As soon as Comrade Zheng said this, many people nodded in agreement.

But it wouldn't be right to let Feng Mingyue cause trouble here, so Comrade Zheng led Yinyin to the village chief and secretary, and only reminded them after they finished what they needed to do.

"If you can't handle Feng Mingyue's matter, why don't you report it to your superiors?"

"The more detailed the materials are, the better the higher-ups can help you with the review."

The village chief's eyes lit up, and he urged the secretary to pack up and go back to the brigade with Yin Yin and the other girl to give the brigade leader a heads-up.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to take in Feng Mingyue; it was just that after Feng Mingyue went to jail, everyone turned against her, and things that people hadn't dared to say or couldn't say before were now being said.

Some people initially thought that although Feng Mingyue had some issues with her conduct and had indeed committed the crime of speculation and profiteering, she was still quite nice to them, speaking softly and gently, and had helped many people.

However, after hearing what everyone said, Feng Mingyue's reputation in Qinghe Village was immediately ruined.

If it's a small matter if everyone has something hidden in their heart, then when all these things are put together, how can it be called small?

Everyone just felt that Feng Mingyue was too frightening.

So what if she helped me before? How can someone who can scheme against a child they have never met, with whom they have no grudge, be a good person?

And look at the life Aunt Liu is living now. Although she is also a stepmother, her husband is clear-headed, and she lives a sweet life with her stepchildren. Isn't that better than the bitter water she used to drink?

Then look at the educated youth who were close to her before, what kind of life did they lead before the incident, and what kind of life are they leading now?

Everyone has their own internal scale.

The villagers may have a low literacy rate, but they are not blind.
