After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 123, Episode 0127: Recuperating and Enjoying the Show (Part 5)
Aunt Feng approached Aunt Zheng mysteriously and asked, "Did Si Hui and Yang Zhiqing really break up?"

Aunt Zheng was immediately puzzled. "I haven't heard anything about it. Did you hear something? Or did you see something?"

Aunt Feng didn't answer her immediately, but instead looked at Aunt Wu.

Because of the special location of Aunt Wu's house, Aunt Zheng also turned her attention to Aunt Wu for information.

Aunt Wu glared at Aunt Feng, thinking, "Having someone like this is truly a blessing for me."

"On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, I saw Yang Zhiqing and Wu Sihui talking at the entrance of the educated youth settlement. Wu Sihui seemed to be delivering something to Yang Zhiqing, carrying a basket this big [Aunt Wu gestured with her hands to indicate the size, which was about 20 centimeters in diameter]."

“A while ago, everyone was saying that the two of them were discussing their engagement. I stood in the corner of the yard and listened for a while. At first, I couldn’t hear clearly because they were both speaking very softly. Then suddenly they started arguing. Yang Zhiqing said that Sihui was selfish, and Sihui called Yang Zhiqing shameless.”

Wu Sihui was a child they had watched grow up. She was only fifteen years old. They were already very unhappy that she was dating a sent-down youth, so how could they watch her be bullied by a sent-down youth?

So Aunt Wu rushed out, helped Wu Sihui scold Yang Zhiqing, then took Wu Sihui home to calm her down before personally taking the child home.

She hadn't paid much attention to this matter at first, as she was busy during the Lunar New Year. But just three days after the New Year, some unfriendly gossip started circulating in the village, basically saying that she looked down on educated youth and that she had broken up relationships between village girls and educated youth.

Aunt Wu was stunned. "So the rumors in the village were about Si Hui. I thought it was Xiao Song, the educated youth."

Lin Yuexi? "..."

How did this get so widely discussed?
Song Tingyu has been dragged into this again!

Aunt Zheng was about to grab some melon seeds when she heard Aunt Wu's words and her hand froze in mid-air. She looked at her like she was a fool, then reached out and patted the back of Aunt Wu's hand.

"Are you out of your mind? Little Song was just unlucky, who would think it was a breakup?"

Song Tingyu got entangled with that girl, Da Hua, in the village. Everyone in the village thought he was incredibly unlucky!

Turning to look at Aunt Wu, she said, "No wonder Si Hui looked like she had been crying when she returned on New Year's Eve. Not long after she returned, Aunt Liu stormed out."

At the time, she thought that Si Hui had been bullied by the villagers. Since there was a job opening, she thought that someone in the village had heard the news and was jealous and was causing trouble.

Seeing Aunt Liu rush out, she didn't move. There weren't many women in the village who could beat her in a fight, so she would just be a cheerleader.

Looking back now, Aunt Liu must have gone to the educated youth settlement to find Yang, and it's highly likely that she broke off her relationship with Yang on behalf of Si Hui.

It's good that it's over. She's only fifteen years old, what's the point of dating?

This girl is usually quite smart; she skipped grades in elementary and middle school. How could she be so easily fooled by a few sweet words?

Aunt Wu shifted her position and said in a low voice, "After I heard some people gossiping about me, I went to inquire and found out that Yang Zhiqing is a real scoundrel. He was coaxing Sihui while dating Liu Zhiqing."

Everyone present exclaimed in unison, "What?"

Aunt Wu pursed her lips and nodded emphatically, "I have evidence, I'm not just making this up, but I'm telling you all today, so just keep it to yourself and don't spread it around." Everyone nodded in unison again, "Yes, yes."

Who am I? I promise I won't tell.

“Sihui told me personally that when she was in school in the county, she saw Yang and Liu eating at the state-run restaurant in the county. She saw them several times, but Sihui was naive and never suspected anything.”

"It was one of Si Hui's classmates who felt that their relationship was not right. Her classmate's father was a policeman, and it seems that he taught her classmate some methods for investigating cases. I can't quite explain what he meant, but the gist of it was that Si Hui's classmate suspected that Yang Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing were deceiving Si Hui together."

Nowadays, students have a lot of freedom in school, and teachers are actually afraid of students. Whether students go to school or not is entirely up to them. Even if they don't attend a single class in a semester, they still have to get their graduation certificates.

But Wu Sihui's classmates didn't have that freedom. The reason was simple: her father was a policeman. People knew the importance of knowledge, and if you dared not go to school, they would break your legs.

Wu Sihui's situation conveniently gave her classmate an excuse. Her classmate was indeed quite capable; in half a month, she not only found out that Yang Zhiqing had deceived Wu Sihui, but also took Wu Sihui, Yang Zhiqing, and Liu Zhiqing to watch a movie "together".

The implications of a young man and woman watching a movie together are obvious to outsiders. Upon hearing their conversation, Wu Sihui almost instantly lost her love.

For more than two months after that, Wu Sihui did not contact Yang Zhiqing again, and Yang Zhiqing seemed to have forgotten about Wu Sihui as well. She didn't look for him, and he didn't look for her either.

But first love is always hard to let go of, and in the end, Wu Sihui couldn't just let go. On New Year's Eve, she still brought food and went to find Yang Zhiqing.

To everyone's surprise, Yang, the educated youth, immediately started blaming her as soon as he opened his mouth. He blamed her for not helping him with chores after the holiday, saying that he had to do all the work himself and that his hands had become rough and that he hadn't stored enough firewood, so he had been freezing all winter. He also blamed her for not bringing him food, saying that he had to endure the cold and go hungry at the same time.

When Wu Sihui asked him about his relationship with Liu Zhiqing, Yang Zhiqing impatiently told her to mind her own business.

Aunt Lu, who had the worst temper, slammed her hand on the table and roared, "What the hell are they? How dare they bully the girls in our village like this? And that girl Si Hui, she usually seems pretty smart, how come she got bullied like this and then willingly offered herself up?"

The other older women were also angry, and while they were angry, they were also disappointed in their children.

Well, Wu Sihui's background made them feel more sorry for her. In addition, they had a good relationship with Aunt Liu and had watched Wu Sihui grow up. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they treated her like a daughter.

Another thing is that although their family has sent their daughters to school, either their daughters are not good enough to get into high school, or they are not old enough. So they especially like Wu Sihui, who has already graduated from high school and is still in senior high school.

That's why they were particularly angry and disappointed when they learned that Wu Sihui had been completely fooled by an educated youth they could all see through.

Aunt Zheng quickly reassured everyone, "Aunt Liu must already know about this. You don't know Old Liu's temper. She definitely won't let Yang, the educated youth, get away with it."

"Moreover, Sihui seems to have truly seen through Yang Zhiqing's true colors this time. Otherwise, given Lao Liu's doting nature on his daughter, there wouldn't be any gossip in the village saying that they've already broken up."

That's true. If it weren't true, if anyone in the village dared to spread rumors about Wu Sihui, Aunt Liu, that tigress, would block the door right away.

The brigade was considered a relatively open-minded brigade in the entire commune, so there was a phenomenon where girls who started dating too early would be laughed at.

Not only would the girl herself be laughed at, but her family elders and even the entire clan would be ridiculed for being incompetent and using the girl to earn dowry money.

Northeasterners can have anything, but they absolutely must have face.
