"I bear witness! It was indeed him who hit someone just now." Mu Zhiqing was furious and stood up to speak.
When Chu Ye was beaten, he rushed over from behind and clamped Zhao Xuesong's throat.
He was originally half a head taller than Zhao Xuesong, but now he watched coldly as Zhao Xuesong struggled under his hands.
"You still want to do something?" Mu Zhiqing kicked him in the leg angrily, "Plop!" With a sound, Zhao Xuesong knelt on his knees, and Mu Zhiqing grabbed his wrist again, preventing him from getting up.
At this time, he finally came to his senses and realized that he had fallen into Chu Ye's trap. He opened his mouth to explain, but no one believed him.
The slap marks on Chu Ye's face were clear and there were witnesses, so people naturally trusted her more.
Zhao Xuesong gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Ye with resentment, but he didn't expect, "Pah!" A slap landed firmly on his face.
Aunt Wang took back her hand and said angrily, "You still dare to glare at people! People who wear clothes are like dogs and have no regard for human affairs. Why are you so dark-hearted!"
"That's right, Ye Yatou is a good girl, how can he do it?"
"You shameless thing, slap his face to pieces!"
Everyone gathered around Zhao Xuesong and cursed constantly.
Zhao Xuesong was kneeling in the middle of the crowd, his originally specially styled hairstyle became messy, and his hands were restrained. This embarrassing appearance was also the first time in his life for him.
In his ears, the shouts and curses from the villagers became more and more unpleasant, and his original intention to defend himself was also angered.
He roared angrily, "Whatever I do, Chu Ye will marry into our Zhao family sooner or later! This is a family matter and it's not your turn to take care of it!"
"Pah!" Another kick, Mu Zhiqing kicked the person with the toe of his shoe unceremoniously, "Keep your mouth clean and speak properly."
"Hey, I have such a temper, why is he so shy in speaking?"
"Originally, I didn't want to say anything about the young man pursuing someone. But now I see, the old Chu family, these are not serious people."
"That's right! Taking advantage of the fact that the family has some bad money, they started to show off their teeth and claws, engage in class tricks, and arrest him!"
Zhao Xuesong's words completely angered everyone, and Father Chu also gave up the idea of being on good terms with the Zhao family. It was not that he felt sorry for Chu Ye, but judging from this man's attitude, he was afraid that he would not have a good look towards him in the future.
Although his other three sons-in-law are not rich, they honestly call him father-in-law every time they see him and ask him to do work without saying a word.
This Zhao Xuesong has such a bad temper, if he gets married, he won't be able to do well.
Seeing that the crowd was furious and his daughter had been wronged, he naturally wanted to seek justice, "Comrade Zhao, no matter what happens today, your family has to give us an explanation. We can't just let it go."
He comforted Chu Ye to wait at home, called a few people around to watch the excitement, and led them to Zhaojiacun.
Chu Ye raised his head with tears in his eyes, met Zhao Xuesong's resentful gaze, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
In her previous life, when Zhao Xuesong dared to hit her, she would always hit her back. Although there was a huge disparity in physical strength between men and women and they were often beaten more severely, she did not let Zhao Xuesong get away with it.
So what in this life, as long as Zhao Xuesong dares to provoke her, she will still fight back. Besides, she still has Zhao Xuesong's biggest secret, and the worst is possible.
People around who were close to the Chu family came out to comfort Chu Ye. Some of them were watching the excitement. They pulled Brother Jianwen and asked about the scene at the entrance of the village that day. Brother Jianwen naturally told the truth.
After hearing Chu Ye's clear refusal, Zhao Xuesong came to the door again today and beat people. Naturally, he was scolded again. As a result, Zhao Xuesong's reputation was completely ruined.
As the sun set, Chu's mother made noodle soup and specially cooked an egg for Chu Ye. The two couldn't wait for Chu's father, so they set aside an extra bowl of rice to wait for someone to come back.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark outside. Chu's father went home. While comforting Chu Ye, he groped from his arms and took out two five-yuan notes.
He said, "Si Ya, don't take what happened today to your heart. Dad went to the Zhao family today, and the Zhao family couple said that Zhao Xuesong has not been in good spirits since the past few days. Maybe he went crazy today. , this is the compensation given by the Zhao family.”
He put one of the five-yuan notes in Chu Ye's palm and said seriously, "Dad has seen clearly that the Zhao family is indeed not a good family. You can rest assured to learn. Dad will never let that kid enter our house in the future."
Chu Ye was not polite, took the money and said hello.
After dinner early the next morning, the slap marks on Chu Ye's face became more and more obvious. She was originally white, but now her face was red, which looked very scary.
Chu's father and Chu's mother were not just Zhou Bapi, so they simply asked Chu Ye to rest at home these days instead of going to work.
After Chu Ye agreed and sent her two elders away, she took out her junior high school textbooks and lay down on the dining table to study carefully.
However, a moment later, shouting came from the door of the courtyard. If you listen carefully, you will find several voices calling her name.
At this time, everyone who was supposed to go to work had gone to work early, who else could look for her?
Full of doubts, Chu Ye stood up and opened the door, only to see a man and two women outside the courtyard.
The two lesbians were wearing blue overalls. When they saw her coming out, their faces were filled with smiles and they looked very friendly.
The man was none other than Mu Zhiqing, wearing a gray sweater and holding his purse in his hand, which looked bulging.
Seeing Chu Ye coming out, he greeted warmly, "Savior! We just went to the fields to find your parents. They said you were resting at home today, so we came here." The two girls also greeted warmly, and their eyes saw There were red handprints on Chu Ye's face, and he looked surprised but did not ask.
"The two of them are accompanying me. I'm afraid that if you come alone, you will be gossiped about." Mu Zhiqing explained.
"Hello, my surname is Deng. You can call me Sister Deng." The girl on the left spoke first, then pointed to the right, "You can call her Sister Zhang. We know you, the brave little girl who saves people."
Sister Zhang smiled and gave a thumbs up, which made Chu Ye feel embarrassed. She invited the three of them into the room and brought hot water.
Mu Zhiqing reached out and took out the contents of his leather bag, including a yellow package of ointment, a glass jar of dried meat, a bag of cereal with English writing on it, and a handful of colorful candies.
He spread these on the table and quickly piled them into a small pile. He introduced them one by one, "This ointment is specially designed to treat trauma. Just apply it directly to the injured area."
He looked at the red mark on Chu Ye's face, pointed to his own face, and said, "Just apply it lightly on it. It will cool down and make the wound less painful. I just did this a few days ago. Used it, it works great.”
He added, "This is beef jerky, you can eat it directly."
Seeing that Chu Ye didn't speak, he opened the jar directly, took out one stick, put it in Chu Ye's hand, and let the other two lesbians taste it too.
Chu Ye was a little at a loss. She held the beef jerky and looked at Mu Zhiqing blankly.
Mu Zhiqing was a head taller than her. He was holding a glass jar and looking at her expectantly with his gray-blue eyes. He was like a big dog, sharing what he thought was delicious with others, and then urging him, "Try it quickly." Try it quickly, this is my favorite snack, specially reserved for you.
She took a tentative bite and chewed it carefully, feeling the unique deliciousness of the dried meat spreading in her mouth. She rolled her eyes and praised, "It's delicious."
Seeing this, the educated youth Mu also smiled. Without waiting to speak, Sister Deng said, "Mu Jiajun, this jerky of yours is very delicious. Where did you buy it? I'll buy some when I get home."
Sister Zhang on the side nodded in agreement. This beef jerky tasted sweet and spicy, and was very chewy at the same time. Although she guessed that it would not be cheap, she never expected that Mu educated youth touched his head in embarrassment and said, "This My brother sent it to me from abroad. If you like it, I’ll write to my brother and ask him to send more.”
The three people present were secretly frightened and quickly waved their hands to refuse.
Mu Zhiqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I also like to eat this. My brother knows it, so he often sends it to me. I will get some for you next time."
He pointed to the rest on the table and continued, "This is oatmeal. You can brew it with hot water and drink it in the morning. It has a milky and sweet flavor. The candy is also delicious."
After the introduction, he looked down at Chu Ye, his eyes bright, and he said, "Although there are not many things, you eat it first, and I will get it for you later."
Chu Ye:······
Chu Ye struggled for a long time, she didn't want it, these were too expensive. She spoke cautiously and chose to refuse gently, "You are too polite. I will just use this one and you take the others away."
She reached for the ointment, this was something she could use.
But after hearing this, Sister Deng and Sister Zhang looked up at her unexpectedly.
They originally thought that Chu Ye would accept it without hesitation. After all, these were the ones who came from the city and were not seen very often. However, she did not have the slightest greed. Thinking about how she had saved people without hesitation before, this made people wonder. Look high.
Mu Zhiqing frowned and said, "No, I gave this to you specially. You saved my life, these meals are nothing."
He emphasized, "You have to accept it."
After saying that, when Chu Ye opened his mouth, he was afraid of hearing rejection, so he turned his eyes and fell on the table, and then he saw the junior high school textbook.
He hurriedly said, "Are you studying the knowledge of junior high school? Why didn't you go to school?"
What Chu Ye originally wanted to say twisted on the tip of his tongue and turned into, "Well, I still have to work for the family and can't go to school."
She spoke frankly, but the two sisters looked distressed and started talking, "Then what have you learned? Is there anything you don't understand? Let us tell you."
At the mention of this, Chu Ye's eyes instantly lit up, and she was visibly happy. She made her request, "That's it, I plan to study by myself and take the entrance exam in the summer."
"But physical chemistry and English are very difficult to learn. I can understand some things by reading them once, but I can't do the questions."
She talked about her learning difficulties, and then said, "Any of you who are good at studying can tutor me? I can work for you. If you need to run errands, I can do it."
The sincerity of what she said immediately impressed the three of them.
Their family conditions are pretty good. They have been able to support them through high school and have no worries about food and clothing. The reason why they signed up for the rural movement is that they want to go out and see the world. The most important thing is that they want to use their meager strength to improve the environment in the countryside. .
Teaching people to make money is not as good as teaching them to study. During the few months they went to the countryside, they saw too many girls falling in love and getting married at a young age, and then stayed in the countryside all their lives without ever seeing the outside world.
Now that I meet Chu Ye, who is so sensible and knows how to learn, I don't know how touched I am.
Sister Deng was the first to speak, "For the three subjects you mentioned, it would be best to have Mu Jiajun tutor you. He has the best grades in high school and speaks fluent English."
Chu Ye looked over unexpectedly, only to blame Mu Zhiqing for smiling brightly every time he saw her, just like that silly dog. He didn't expect that he was the one with the best grades.
Mu Zhiqing showed his white teeth and said, "Then accept all these things and I will promise to teach you."
