After Guo Caixia put her things down, she tried to climb onto the oxcart, but the brigade leader repeatedly scolded her.

"What are you doing? Ox carts are for carrying luggage, not for you!"

Guo Caixia was taken aback. She looked around and asked, "Where should we sit?"

Li Weiguo replied matter-of-factly, "Of course we're walking back. You have so much stuff, and you want to ride in an oxcart? What if the ox gets tired?"

Although Chen Yan disliked the oxcart, she also didn't want to walk. She was wearing leather shoes. "How could an ox get tired? We're educated youth, aren't we more valuable than oxen?"

Li Weiguo clicked his tongue. "Isn't that obvious? If you wear out the ox, are you going to plow the field yourself?"

"Pfft~" Wen Li didn't expect the captain to be so sarcastic, and she was amused.

Su Hao almost couldn't hold back his laughter; his face turned red from holding it in. Finally, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Feeling humiliated, Chen Yan pointed at Li Weiguo and said, "You... I'm a former educated youth! I'm going to the commune to report you for abusing educated youth!"

Li Weiguo pointed behind Chen Yan, "Look, the commune is right there. Go and complain quickly, and they'd better transfer you to another brigade!"

Seeing that the brigade leader was serious, Qi Jun quickly stepped forward to apologize, "Brigade Leader, I'm so sorry. Chen, the educated youth, is still adjusting to life in the countryside. I hope you'll be magnanimous and not hold it against her!"

Li Weiguo snorted. Of course, he wouldn't bother with these kids. He had already vented his anger, and since they were already here, what could he do?

In the end, all we could do was resign ourselves to our fate and pull the person back.

"Let's go, it's getting late. If we dawdle any longer, it'll get dark. There are wolves around here, and I can't guarantee your safety if we encounter them!"

When everyone heard about the wolves, their faces turned pale, and even those who had objections dared not voice them.

Chen Yan wanted to step forward and argue a few more points, but Qi Jun stopped her.

Wen Li glanced at the time; it was past three o'clock, the hottest time of the day. They had just gotten off the train and then taken a bus, and hadn't eaten lunch. Wen Li was starving.

Fortunately, she drank the spiritual spring water, which modified her body, so she wasn't too tired.

She took two sponge cakes out of her cloth bag and ate them as she walked. Seeing this, the others followed suit. Having been hungry all day, they no longer cared about their appearance.

Guo Caixia had no food left. She had already eaten the spoiled cornbread that morning, and when she got off the bus, she almost vomited up bile. Now her stomach was empty, and she was so hungry that she felt dizzy.

"Little Pear! Do you have any more sponge cake?"

Seeing Guo Caixia's pitiful appearance, Wen Li sneered. She had used this act to deceive the original owner for seven or eight years, and the original owner had gradually grown her appetite in this way.

"Just say what's on your mind!"

"Xiao Li, did I offend you in some way?" Guo Caixia tensed up when she saw Wen Li's attitude, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.

Guo Caixia's appearance can only be described as pretty, but her voice is very pleasant. Coupled with her pitiful appearance and her little gestures, she certainly has the charm to evoke sympathy.

See, when the male lead saw Guo Caixia being bullied, he looked at Wen Li with disgust.

"Oh! If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!" Wen Li completely ignored the offer and caught up with the oxcart.

"Hey! How can you be so spineless?" Although Yu Shuang didn't hear the conversation between the two, she disliked Wen Li at first sight, so when she saw Guo Caixia being bullied, she immediately jumped out.

Guo Caixia sniffed. "I know I'm poor, so it's understandable that Xiaoli doesn't want to be friends with me!"

Guo Caixia spoke very softly, but Wen Li still heard her; after all, her five senses were now extremely sharp!

Yu Shuang seemed to have caught Wen Li red-handed, and started speaking without thinking.

"What? What gives Wen Li the right to look down on you? We're all educated youth sent to the countryside. Does she think she can follow the capitalists' ways?"

Wen Li was speechless. Yu Shuang deserved to be schemed against so badly. She really had no brains and believed everything she heard.

Without hesitation, Wen Li strode up to Yu Shuang and, before she could even speak, slapped her hard across the face.

No one expected Wen Li to suddenly attack someone; everyone was stunned.

Yu Shuang covered her face, looking at Wen Li, who was usually quiet, in disbelief. "You...you hit me?"

"I'll hit you whenever I want, do I need to pick a day?"

Li Weiguo didn't expect that the educated youth would start fighting before they even arrived at the educated youth compound.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Yu Shuang cried out, "Captain, Wen Li hit someone! I'm going to report her!"

Wen Li pretended to hit her again, and Yu Shuang was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly.

Su Hao and Deng Wei stuffed the food into their mouths in a few bites and quickly stepped forward to pull the two apart.

"Calm down, everyone calm down, don't act impulsively!"

Li Weiguo, wielding a cattle-driving stick, strode over menacingly. "Wen, why are you hitting people?"

"Captain, I want to report Yu Shuang for insulting military families. My parents and brother are all soldiers, and she actually called me a capitalist!"

These days, once you're labeled a capitalist, you're finished. No wonder Wen Li hit someone.

Li Weiguo was also a veteran, and when he heard that Wen Li was a military dependent, his heart naturally leaned slightly towards her.

"Is what Yu and Wen, the educated youth, just said true?"

Insulting military family members will also result in being taken in for education. Yu Shuang didn't think before she spoke, and now she knows she said the wrong thing.

Everyone heard what she just said, and there's no reason to refute it.

"I...I didn't do it on purpose! It's her fault for bullying me."

Li Jianguo, eager to return home, made his decision immediately: "Since that's the case, apologize to Wen Zhiqing, and we'll consider this matter closed!"

"Why? She hit me!" Yu Shuang, of course, didn't want to apologize and immediately retorted in a shrill voice.

"It was wrong of her to hit you, and I'll deduct ten work points from her when she goes back to work. But you insulted a military family member, and if Wen, the educated youth, really pursues the matter, I can't protect you!"

Su Hao and Deng Wei originally wanted to persuade Wen Li, but the way she hit people just now was so swift and decisive, as if she had hit them countless times. They didn't want to be hit themselves, so they quietly tried to persuade Yu Shuang instead.

Yu Shuang finally apologized, albeit reluctantly.

Wen Li didn't really want to report Yu Shuang; she just wanted to give these people a warning.

Apart from Su Hao and Deng Wei, the others in this group were not very well-behaved. In order to have a peaceful life in the future, she had to let everyone know in advance that she was not someone to be trifled with, so that these people would not easily bother her in the future.

The oxcart set off again, and Su Hao, being a chatterbox, asked the brigade leader about many things in the village along the way.

Wen Li listened quietly. After what had just happened, Yu Shuang could only glare at her with resentment, but every time Wen Li turned her head, Yu Shuang would immediately look away.

Wen Li liked this feeling of "you can't stand me but you can't do anything about it," but after teasing her a few times, she got bored.

At first, Yu Shuang was cursing under her breath, but as time went on, she became so tired that she couldn't even speak.
