Chapter 9

hands.......Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan rummaged through the afternoon, finally dragging a cart full of "junk" from the old storage room at the village primary school back to their small hut in the co...Ning Yuan splashed Huang Xuehong with a bucket of cold water, leaving her feeling utterly humiliated and disgusted.

"Ning Yuan!" Huang Xuerhong and Tang Zhenzhen, Qin Xiaoxia, even Li Yan were all dumbfounded.

I remember her as a soft-spoken, kind, and easygoing girl. I didn't expect her to suddenly lash out at someone!

"You dare to slander me, you... I'll fight you to the death!" Huang Xuehong discovered that his stench made everyone instinctively pinch their noses.

She was filled with anger and frustration, and she lowered her head before charging into Ning Yuan.

A stinky, fat woman, looking like a black bullet, bumped into them. Ning Yuan nimbly dodged and pulled Rong Zhaonan behind her as if he was an invisible person to shield herself.

Then Huang Xuehong "thumped" and couldn't stop his momentum, crashing into the wooden cart and falling flat on his face.

"Ouch! Waaaahhhh—She splashed dirty water on me, she splashed me!! It's so disgusting!!" Huang Xuehong lost face.

She felt dizzy and covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably on the ground.

Rong Zhaonan's icy and beautiful eyes swept over Huang Xuehong with disdain. Shut up!

Then, his gaze fell on the small hand gripping his wrist. The little agent was pulling quite hard.

"Ning Yuan, how could you fly into a rage and splash dirty water on people!" Tang Zhenzhen helped Huang Xueming up with an indignant look, then glanced at Li Yan.

Li Yan's gaze fell on Ning Yuan pulling Rong Zhao Nan's hand, his eyes complex and dim.

Ning Yuan coldly looked at Tang Zhenzhen and Huang Xuhong: "She brought this upon herself. Just because Huang Xuhong is spouting nonsense, opening her mouth to slander me—accusing me of being a thief—doesn't mean I can't retaliate by slandering her"

She's been itching for a fight, these people really think she's easy to bully, don't they One scheme after another!

Tang Zhenzhen, noticing her intense stare, instinctively took a step back.

How did Ning Yuan become so aggressive... has she really thrown caution to the wind

Tang Zhenzhen was not someone to be trifled with either. She immediately reddened her eyes and took out her beloved jade green biscuit tin.

"All my things are in this cookie tin, and even a family heirloom jade chili pepper is missing! It vanished this morning when we were working in the fields. It wasn't you who took it, was it"

Huang Xuedong and Tan Xiaoxia were both taken aback. Tang Zhenzhen didn't only have cookies and candy, did she

Where did her five dollars go

Where does the emerald chili come from

Hearing the four words "Jade Chili," Ning Yuan instantly looked at Tang Zhenzhen with icy eyes and said, "You're lying!"

Tang, how dare he still think about her jade chili pepper!

Tang Zhenzhen first glared warningly at the two of them, then provocatively looked at Ning Yuan——

"In my cookie jar, there were emerald peppers, cookies, candy, and ten dollars. Now there's only five dollars left. I hid it well, so nobody stole it."

Last month, when she was paying respects to Ning Yuan, she accidentally saw Ning Yuan's beautiful jade chili.

She only agreed after being coaxed and threatened. Since she agreed, that thing is hers!

Seeing Ning Yuan's expression was off, Li Yan frowned and asked Huang Xuehong and Tan Xiaoxia: "Really"

Huang Xuerong, plump and round, was a little stunned. Tang Zhenzhen's confident expression left her bewildered. "Ah, this..."

Qin Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and said, "I guess so."

A few years ago, all sorts of scary things happened. Tang Zhenzhen's family was one that managed to defeat their rivals and climb to a position of power during that time.

Although things are much better now, Tang Zhenzhen comes from a truly privileged background. She holds a high status among the educated youths.

Now Tang Zhenzhen wants to kill Ning Yuan, she dare not offend Tang Zhenzhen.

Li Yan's brow furrowed.

Stealing things and money, although the amount is not large.

But this matter can be big or small. Even if it doesn't result in imprisonment, once Ningyuan is accused, reporting to the Youth Office, she will probably face serious punishment!

It will also be recorded, which will affect Ning Yuan for the rest of her life.

Li Yan looked at Ning Yuan. He couldn't believe that a gentle, shy, and somewhat introverted girl could be like this.

Ning Yuan met his gaze, averted her eyes, and unconsciously clenched her fists.

"Well, maybe you should look around again. Maybe someone else took it by mistake." Li Yan was a little disheartened, but still looked straight at Tang Zhenzhen.

Rong Zhaonan had been behind them all along, watching this scene silently.

Seeing the interaction between Ning Yuan and Li Yan, he curled his lips into a smirk of derision.

Tang Zhenzhen listened to Li Yan's words, both explicitly and implicitly, defending Ning Yuan's intentions.

Her heart ached terribly. She looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and asked, "Li Yan, are you thinking I'm lying Why don't you suspect Ning Yuan of talking to bad people and turning bad"

All of them are sluts who slept with other men, and he still wants to protect that woman and question me

She will absolutely not let Ning Yuan off! She wants that wretch to be blacklisted, and have the label of a thief for life!

She lowered her eyes and spoke in a choked, tearful voice: "Forget it. I know you're close to Ning Yuan, and it's only natural that you would defend her."

She hit the nail on the head with that remark. She knew Li Yan's upright nature wouldn't allow him to accept being suspected of bias in public.

As expected, Li Yan's brow furrowed. He glanced at the several Red Scarf members who had followed him and saw that they, along with the surrounding villagers, were all looking at him.

Li Yan could only frown: "Tang Zhiqing, what you said is a bit too much. As the head of the team, I can't just listen to your side of the story."

Tang Yanjan bit her lip, looking very wronged: "So that's why I came to confront you face-to-face. Otherwise, why would I go find you"

Huang Xuerong, a stocky and dark-skinned man with an unpleasant odor, extended his fist in indignation and drew a circle in the air: “Yes, Ning Yuan keeps stealing things and money, and she even bullies me. A person like this shouldn’t be sent to the countryside as a知青. How can that be right As a leader, are you going to let someone introduce an object for Ning Yuan to you..."

"Huang Xuehong, that bucket of dirty water just now, did it not clean your mouth You deserve a beating." Ning Yuan suddenly coldly interrupted her.

Huang Xuehong looked at Ning Yuan, although she was petite, her hand had already been raised high, and the flesh on her chubby face trembled: “You... you dare!”

"If you want to talk nonsense, I dare to hit you. What's the matter" Ning Yuan sneered and rolled up her sleeves.

Li Yan immediately stepped forward and blocked her, speaking in a low voice: "Don't do this. Even if you are right, it will become wrong. I will definitely find the truth. This is an internal contradiction within the people."

No matter what, he didn't want Ning Yuan to get into trouble.

Ning Yuan looked at the man standing in front of her, he was handsome.

As the youngest Communist Party secretary of the village team, he was handsome and warm-hearted. He was fair and just in his dealings and due to his high position, was always popular with the young women of the village.

He graduated from high school, the highest level of education in the commune. He was cultured and knowledgeable, and very popular among the female educated youth.

If there were no return to the village, who would be able to marry him That would be something the entire platoon and several villages would envy.

This is also why no matter how much she tries to please Tang Zhenzhen, she's still isolated in small groups, both overtly and covertly.

"I..." Ning Yuan was just about to speak when someone suddenly tugged on her arm.

Róng Zhāonán pulled her beside him, gently pushing his glasses up his nose: "Deputy Secretary Li, you've worked hard. My beloved isn't that kind of person."

Li Yan was taken aback, clenched his fists, and stared at him coldly: "If it weren't for being with you, she wouldn't have gotten into this situation."dn't dare to get too close. She only followed that tall, silent figure from afar.The other party was agile, moving through the forest paths as if they were in no one's land. She could only chase after...
