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

Chapter 55, Episode 0055: Dead Memories Resurface
“Sun Hua is a complete scumbag. Although Wang Laidi is a scoundrel, Sun Hua is even worse.”

The words were so unclear that Lin Yuexi and the others were at their wits' end.

I stare—

Feeling chills run down his spine from being stared at by several pairs of eyes like wolves and tigers, Xu Zhichuan quickly explained the details of what he had found out.

"The matter is as complicated as a sesame ball, let me explain it to you one by one."

"Let's start with the matter between Sun Hua and Wang Laidi. This story begins with Wei Miaomiao."

"I haven't been able to find out the source of the conflict or hatred between the two of them, but I suspect it's very likely that it's because Wang Laidi is jealous of Wei Miaomiao."

Jealousy is a terrible word; it can often make people lose their minds and harm their enemies by a great deal while destroying themselves.

"Wei Miaomiao's family was considered relatively well-off in the educated youth settlement. Compared to other female educated youth, her parents treated her very well. Even after Wei Miaomiao got married, her family continued to send her packages and money."

"Wei Miaomiao has a good personality. During the years she was in charge of the educated youth settlement, the educated youth respected her. Even Sun Hua never said anything bad about Wei Miaomiao. Her relationship with the villagers was also more harmonious than that of other educated youth."

"Wei Miaomiao is also pretty. Although she's not the most beautiful, she's among the top female educated youth in our brigade. Moreover, her looks are the kind that grow on you; the more you get to know her, the more beautiful you become."

"Compared to her, Wang Laidi is truly inferior in every way."

Xu Zhichuan had inquired about the matter with all the educated youth in the entire educated youth settlement, but no one remembered that the two women had a feud. On the contrary, they all remembered that when Wang Laidi first came to the countryside, she didn't bring anything with her. It was Wei Miaomiao who took the lead, and the people in the entire educated youth settlement managed to gather life-saving supplies for Wang Laidi.

Logically speaking, Wei Miaomiao should not only have no enmity towards Wang Laidi, but should also have been kind to him.

“You know Li Erhu, right? I went to him and asked around. He told me that Wang Laidi wanted to use drugs to deal with Wei Miaomiao, the kind of unclean drugs. She didn’t have any connections to buy the drugs herself, so she asked Sun Hua to buy them for her.”

Li Erhu is both familiar and unfamiliar to everyone; he is a legendary figure in the village.

He was familiar with the name, but unfamiliar to the new educated youth, none of them had ever seen him before.

He was the youngest son of Aunt Zheng in the village. Aunt Zheng's husband died while she was pregnant with Li Erhu, sacrificing himself to save the village's granary. Because of this, Aunt Zheng doted on Li Erhu immensely, and even though he was almost twenty, he had never worked in the fields.

The villagers also remembered his father's kindness and turned a blind eye to his crimes as long as he didn't commit any offenses.

But when it comes to children, being too pampered and indulged can easily lead them astray; that's an ironclad rule.

Li Erhu, unsurprisingly, went astray. He went from being a lazy good-for-nothing to becoming a hoodlum after Sun Hua went to the countryside.

This kid doesn't seem very bright, but he's incredibly loyal. Sun Hua can easily manipulate him with small favors and a few words, and he's always grateful. He's strong, but instead of working for his own family, he's been Sun Hua's henchman for several years.

A year ago, in early spring, Aunt Zheng had bad luck and encountered a wild boar while hiking up the mountain. The boar gored her in the abdomen, and she almost died.

The reason why Aunt Zheng got into trouble was that early that morning, Sun Hua took a few of his underlings from the neighboring Shangyang brigade into the mountains to cook a special meal. However, the meal didn't happen, and instead, they attracted a herd of wild boars. When he was fleeing for his life, he dragged Aunt Zheng over to shield himself from the disaster.

Li Erhu has a lot of bad habits, but the only thing he can be proud of is his filial piety. Between his biological mother and Sun Hua, Li Erhu chose his mother. From then on, he not only broke off relations with Sun Hua, but also went on to retaliate against her with as much malice as possible, much like those fans in the entertainment industry who turn against their idols.

For nearly half a year, Sun Hua was either caught in a sack or fell into a latrine, which made him afraid to travel alone.

No one expected that Li Erhu, who seemed simple-minded, was actually a wise man in disguise. While others failed to see that the relationship between Li Bing and Sun Hua was not as good as Sun Hua claimed, only Li Erhu could see that there was no real affection between them, and that their interactions were purely based on Sun Hua getting benefits for Li Bing.

Money, and one woman!
"Li Erhu didn't know much about money. He only knew that Sun Hua found several boxes of things on the mountain in Xiayang Brigade. They were probably things that the old landlord of Xiayang Brigade had hidden. Sun Hua often took those things to give to Li Bing."

"Li Erhu wasn't sure about this either. He only heard about it from Sun Hua's other underlings. He hadn't seen the facts with his own eyes."

I've never seen the box, the money, or seen Sun Huaquan and Li Bing deliver anything.

Li Erhu had met the girl once before.

Li Erhu is a righteous man, but he has his bottom line. Sun Hua either saw this or didn't fully trust him, but he wouldn't let Li Erhu participate in anything that involved risk.

"The time he saw it was just a coincidence. He said he had hunted some game in the mountains and secretly sent it to the black market to exchange for money. When he came back, he saw Sun Hua leading a female educated youth from Shangyang Brigade into a courtyard in the commune."

Li Erhu was curious, but at that time he was still a loyal follower of Sun Hua and had no intention of finding out anything about his boss. He didn't take the matter to heart at all.

After becoming a hater, Sun Hua, who was good in every way before, is now bad in every way. He used to have problems in every way.

This dead memory resurfaced, and the more Li Erhu thought about it, the more convinced he became that Sun Hua must have been doing something immoral back then.

So, "he didn't have to go to work, and he was quite stubborn. He went to lie in ambush outside that house for almost a month and saw Sun Hua give a girl from Xiayang Brigade to Li Bing."

There was no kinship between Sun Hua and Li Bing, only interests. But interests are often the most reliable relationships. Li Erhu wasn't stupid; he knew that it was pointless for him to show up at this time, and he also knew that no matter how much he knew, he couldn't do anything to Li Bing and Sun Hua.

Aunt Zheng's family home was in Zhongyang Brigade, and the brigade leader was Li Erhu's maternal uncle. This was the only maternal uncle Li Erhu could think of.

"Our captain and his men don't dare to confront them head-on, and Captain Zheng's side is even less likely to do so."

"However, Captain Zheng and his team did something. It seems they specifically raised the issue of the safety of the female educated youth with the commune, and also went to the educated youth office and told the director about the female educated youth being deceived. The educated youth office took this matter very seriously and reported it to the city."

"The municipal party committee put pressure on the commune committee, and Li Bing and Sun Hua didn't dare to be so bold after that, but who could blame them when someone offered themselves up?"

The person who offered himself up is none other than Wang Laidi.

Li Bing did not bully Wang Laidi himself, but rather "rewarded" Wang Laidi to a group of his subordinates.

What's even more unbelievable is that Sun Hua didn't leave at the time; he was also one of the people who bullied Wang Laidi.

He didn't get the medicine from the King of Medicine, and returned to the educated youth settlement in a broken state. He didn't blame himself for not hating Sun Hua, but after seeing the gentle Wei Miaomiao, he hated her so much that he wanted to destroy her.
