Chapter 28, Episode 0028: I always feel like I can't lift my head.
Li Bin and Yu Mengmeng were both a little scared when they faced Er Gou Niang. Their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to say a word. They had a feeling that they would be beaten up if they opened their mouths.

Er Gou's mother didn't wait for them to respond. She turned to the villagers outside and said loudly, "Er Gou found Su Xiaohong at the station. She was standing with a man in his thirties. Er Gou initially thought the man was her relative who had come to escort her to the wedding. But as soon as the man saw Er Gou, he ran away, shouting, 'The child has nothing to do with me.'"

“This matter is unclear, so the marriage definitely cannot take place. Yesterday afternoon, I asked my dog ​​to inquire. Su Xiaohong and the others don’t treat our dog like a human being at all. They don’t hide anything when they do things in the commune. The man works at the steel factory, lives in the commune, is divorced, and has two sons. Many people in the commune know them and assume they are dating.”

"Everyone, be the judge. Isn't she just playing with our family?"

“My Er Gou is stupid. Everyone in our Hongxing Brigade knows who Su Xiaohong is, but he’s blind and insists on marrying her.”

"This is also a lesson for my dog. We won't say anything. He insisted on swallowing dog poop, so he has to swallow it no matter how smelly it is."

"The marriage can't go on now, she's decided to become a stepmother, but the money and bicycle ticket were for Er Gou's wedding. I just want to get the money and ticket back. Is that okay?"

Er Gou's mother suppressed her anger the whole time and didn't start a fight with anyone as soon as she arrived. Before coming, she had specially gone to a high school student in the Fourth Brigade to ask him for advice on these 'reasonable and well-founded' arguments with two eggs.

Er Gou's mother didn't want to offend the first team, or more accurately, she didn't want to offend the second, third, and fourth teams, because offending them was like offending a wolf, and not just one wolf.

Only by reasoning with a large group of people can you get justice when you are on the side of reason.

No one in the village responded to her. No matter what, Su Zhiqing's settlement was still in the First Brigade. If she lost face, it would be the First Brigade's face that was lost. No matter how much they disliked her normally, they would definitely side with the educated youth in front of the Fourth Brigade. At least they couldn't just accept whatever she said.

If what Er Gou's mother said is true, then not only will the educated youth lose all face, but the entire brigade will also suffer.

Yu Mengmeng stood there facing the crowd's open or subtle disdainful gazes, feeling as if her face had been stripped away. She turned around and stormed into the room next door in anger.

"Su Xiaohong, stop crying and crying. What exactly happened? Is it really as she said?"

Su Xiaohong was indeed beautiful, with an oval face, a pair of large, watery eyes, a pert nose, and a small mouth. She was charming with a touch of allure, but not in a seductive way. Especially now, with tears welling up before she could speak, and a troubled expression on her face, she looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't, which made people feel sorry for her.

The problem is, things are already at a critical juncture, the enemy is at the gates, and you're still hesitating to speak.

Yu Mengmeng ignored her and pulled her out of the house. "Don't hide when you encounter trouble. If you're wrong, admit it. If you're not, explain it to the other person."

Don't always drag them down. They've had enough of the days of harvesting on empty stomachs.

Damn it, because of her, the reputation of all the female educated youth in the entire educated youth settlement is ruined.

The reputation of male educated youth has gradually recovered over the years, but the reputation of female educated youth has become increasingly tarnished because of one or two bad apples.

They always felt ashamed in the village.

If it weren't for the good atmosphere in the brigade, she wouldn't dare imagine what terrible things the female educated youth might encounter.

The Hongxing Brigade has its own militia team, with patrols every day except during the harvest season, mainly to prevent kidnapping.

Although people disliked the educated youth, patrol teams would still make a point of patrolling the vicinity of the educated youth settlements at night, out of concern for the safety of the young women there. In some places, once the reputation of female educated youth was tarnished, hooligans and old bachelors would immediately swarm around them, forcing them to marry just anyone, and there were even cases of women being driven to suicide.

This phenomenon doesn't exist in the First Brigade. There are very few rumors. Everyone is either a family member of a martyr or a military family member. Everyone must have a high level of ideological awareness, otherwise you will be looked down upon by everyone when you go out, and you will be embarrassed to admit that you are a member of the First Brigade.

Most importantly, those who don't perform well won't get any of the benefits, like the distribution of pork.

Therefore, in the Hongxing Brigade, as long as the educated youth did not do anything reckless, their personal safety was generally not a problem.

The brigade did not allow villagers to use their reputation to coerce educated youth. If people from other brigades tried to bully educated youth, the brigade would stop them. And those who used this tactic, well, isn't that a coincidence? They were all educated youth.

Er Gou's mother rushed over to Su Xiaohong and grabbed her arm. "Su Zhiqing, I don't care what your relationship is with that man, or whether you're pregnant with his child or not. You're getting married to someone else now. All I want is our family's money and bicycle ticket. They weren't a gift from our family; they were our family's dowry for Er Gou. We'll be in the right no matter where we go. Give us back the money and the ticket, and this will be over. Otherwise, I'll report you for having an affair."

Having extramarital affairs can range from being sent to a farm to being shot.

Su Xiaohong dared to cause trouble in the brigade because the villagers in the brigade were all too easy to talk to, giving her the feeling that the people in the brigade were easy to bully.

But Er Gou's mother wasn't part of the main group, and these words immediately frightened Su Xiaohong. She didn't dare to try to get away with crying anymore. "I, I'll go get it for you."

It seems that the little girl hasn't used the bicycle ticket yet, but as long as she doesn't have the money and ticket, Er Gou's mother won't feel at ease, so she dragged Su Xiaohong into the house together.

In the end, the matter ended with Su Xiaohong returning the money and Er Gou's mother leaving triumphantly with her two powerful daughters-in-law.

Not to mention how disgusted the people inside the educated youth settlement felt, even the villagers watching the spectacle felt uneasy.

This is equivalent to the First Brigade being slapped in the face by the Fourth Brigade.

It started off spectacularly, but ended abruptly and unexpectedly, leaving everyone feeling utterly disgusted.

This made everyone's impression of educated youth even worse!
Two days later, something even more speechless happened.

Su Xiaohong is getting married. A man in his thirties, over 1.6 meters tall, with a face full of pockmarks, is coming to pick her up on a slightly worn bicycle decorated with red flowers.

No need to look, there's no one else, just him alone, riding a bicycle with nothing on it.

The people at the educated youth settlement just want Su Xiaohong to leave as soon as possible. Although the villagers haven't said anything to them these past two days, their attitude of avoiding them like the plague is frustrating for everyone.

No matter how you arrange the wedding, as long as you're willing to leave the educated youth settlement, they won't care if you crawl out; they'll just send you off.

Today, Lin Yuexi rarely went out of the house to take a walk in the yard. Ren Yan became her little helper, bending slightly over and reaching out to support her while telling her about the lively scene at the educated youth settlement.

"Su Xiaohong is really stupid. Her husband is old and ugly, and he didn't give any dowry. She'll suffer a lot in the future. Er Gou isn't much better, but at least he's good-looking, his dowry is nice, and he works in a furniture factory."

"However, the two were equally matched. When Su Xiaohong left, she only carried a small bundle. Judging from its size, it contained only a few thin clothes."
