Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

All the educated youth present knew about the entanglement between Qi Hongsheng and the Jiang siblings, so when they saw Qi Hongsheng suddenly becoming so attentive, they all looked at him with disdain.

Jiang Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief at Qi Hongsheng's actions. After all, the relationship between the group had become somewhat distant before, especially since they had been busy acquiring supplies recently. But she had never thought of giving up on Qi Hongsheng completely.

These thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. Jiang Yun nodded slightly to Qi Hongsheng, glanced at the crowd in the courtyard, and seeing that no one was speaking, followed Qi Hongsheng into the boys' dormitory.

This was Jiang Yun's first time entering a boys' dormitory. As soon as she entered, she felt an unknown smell emanating from the room. Jiang Yun endured it but did not show it. However, Qi Hongsheng next to her looked embarrassed.

To cover his embarrassment, Qi Hongsheng quickly walked a few steps to the bedside of the Jiang brothers. Seeing the smelly socks and clothes scattered everywhere, Jiang Yun pursed his lips but didn't say anything in front of Qi Hongsheng. He simply packed a few clothes and carried them out since he couldn't find a bag.

Seeing them come out, militia company commander Lü Tianhua spoke again:

"Everything's packed, let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and left the educated youth settlement, and the other cadres followed him out.

Jiang Yun quickly went inside, grabbed a nylon bag to put his brothers' clothes in, and also took a cup and a basin before hurrying out to catch up with the cadres.

Ma Mingchuan hesitated for a moment in the courtyard, then decided to go and see what was going on. After all, he was the person in charge of the male educated youth, and it was only right and proper for him to go.

The educated youth in the courtyard looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw that the courtyard had suddenly become much emptier. However, since it was still dark, it was too early to get up, so they could only continue to lie on the kang (a heated brick bed). But with such a big thing happening, they couldn't fall asleep.

So, conversations could be heard in twos and threes coming from the rooms of the male and female educated youth.

Feng Qingqing followed Hu Fangming into the room. Although it wasn't cold on the October morning, it was still a little chilly after standing for a while.

The three of them took off their shoes and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed). Hu Fangming was the first to speak, and she said angrily:

"You know, Jiang Yun is really something. She just made up these lies to frame you. I think she can't stand to see you doing well. She'll push all sorts of messy and rotten things onto you."

Feng Qingqing remained silent, lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), without uttering a sound.

Hu Fangming nudged her with his hand, reminding her:

"I'm asking you a question, what are you thinking about?"

Feng Qingqing snapped out of her daze, patted her hand to indicate that she had heard her, and said calmly:

"Didn't you understand after the last time she lost money? What's so surprising about this? She's just trying to drag me down with her because she's having a hard time herself."

She paused, then lowered her voice, but didn't deliberately avoid speaking to Zhuang Shan, who was in the same room:

"I was just thinking, after Jiang Hongjun injured his leg and was discharged from the hospital, did he go back to the city or continue to stay in our educated youth compound?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, as if even the air itself had solidified.

In those days, no educated youth wanted to go to the countryside, and of course, very few of them were able to return. However, there was one exception that might allow them to return to the city: if they were injured, and seriously injured at that.

It is clear that Jiang Hongjun's condition is likely serious, which would make it very likely that he would be allowed to return to the city.

At this moment, even Zhuang Shan, who had been sleeping casually beside them, gently turned her body to face Feng Qingqing and the other person, listening carefully.

Hu Fangming seemed startled, and even stammered as she spoke:

"Go back...go back to town. Can I go back to town if I'm injured? Can she go back to town if she's injured?"

The words "finally returning to the city" were spoken with a noticeably louder tone. It's no wonder Hu Fangming didn't know; even Zhuang Shan next to him was hearing it for the first time. Only Feng Qingqing, with her lifetime of experience, knew that some educated youth could return due to special circumstances, not just because they had job quotas, as some educated youth had thought.

Of course, this situation is extremely rare, and the brigade would not publicize or promote it, which led to many educated youth being completely unaware of this rule.

Feng Qingqing gave a soft "hmm," but that one "hmm" made the other two people in the room start to have their thoughts wander.

After a while, Hu Fangming leaned closer to Feng Qingqing, clearly indicating that he wanted to whisper something.

Feng Qingqing glanced at her indifferently, but she roughly knew what she wanted to say.

Sure enough, after Hu Fangming approached Feng Qingqing, he lowered his voice, almost whispering, and said to her:

"Do you think Jiang Hongjun was injured because he wanted to return to the city, and he deliberately caused this scene?"

It's no wonder Hu Fangming thought that way. If it were her, Hu Fangming thought about it and realized it was quite possible. After all, suffering for a few months in exchange for returning to the city was worth it.

Feng Qingqing wasn't surprised that Hu Fangming asked that question, but it wasn't appropriate for her to say it herself, so she avoided the main point and said:

"It's hard to say; it depends on the results of Company Commander Lü's investigation."

Zhuang Shan, who was listening to the two whispering, roughly guessed that they were talking about returning to the city, and at the same time, she started to think about it.

While everyone at the educated youth compound was discussing Jiang Hongjun's injury, Jiang Yun and Ma Mingchuan, who had gone out with the brigade cadres, followed them all the way to the brigade headquarters.

There was already an oxcart parked there, and the driver had already harnessed the oxen. There was also a person sitting on the oxcart. Upon closer inspection, Jiang Yun realized that it was Ye Da Niang, the brigade leader's wife.

At this moment, Aunt Ye was completely different from her usual self. Her eyes were slightly swollen and red, her hair was casually tied back, and she looked extremely anxious. When she saw Jiang Yun and the others coming over, she kept urging them on.

"Hurry up, what time is it? Stop dawdling. If you don't want to go, say so now, so as not to waste time here."

The tone was quite impolite.

For Jiang Yun, who became a scorekeeper not long after arriving at the brigade, this was truly a rare occurrence.

After all, as a scorekeeper, and given her sweet talk and social skills, most people spoke to her politely.

For a split second, I was stunned and didn't react.

Seeing her like this made Ye Dahua even more impatient:

"What are you standing there for? Get in the car now. Do I have to beg you three or four times?"

Although Jiang Yun didn't understand why Aunt Ye, who usually seemed kind and greeted her politely, had suddenly changed so much, it didn't stop her from quickly climbing onto the oxcart with Ma Mingchuan after hearing the urging.
