Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

The next morning, Wan Xue asked Lu Xiaotao to help her take a day off.

"Are you having a headache because you didn't dry your hair before going to bed last night? Then you should have a good rest today." Lu Xiaotao asked Wan Xue with concern.

"I do have a headache. I'll sleep a little longer. You don't need to call me for dinner."

Wan Xue slept until almost noon when work was over. She changed into new clothes and hung last night's clothes in the yard after washing them.

She planned to cook first and then go out in the afternoon after other educated youth went to work.

The team leader did go out this morning. After all, he was the team leader and had to watch the villagers go to work. But he was a little absent-minded. He looked around quickly and went to find Aunt Wang and Aunt Chang.

As an eyewitness, Song Shuangshuang saw that the captain was frowning this morning and kept wandering around their team. She knew that the captain knew about what happened yesterday and would probably go find them to ask if they saw anything.

Moreover, Wan Xue did not come to work today, and I don’t know if she has looked for the team leader.

Sure enough, the team leader came before the end of the morning work.

Song Shuangshuang thought that the captain would look for her and Tan Anjing, but in the end he only called away the two aunts.

What a pity, she still wanted to be lazy. But it didn't matter, she would find a chance to ask the two aunts in the afternoon what the captain had said to them, and she could be lazy.

The captain found a quiet and deserted place and asked them directly about what happened last night without beating around the bush.

"My two sisters-in-law, let me be frank. Last night, Bai Han came back and told me that Wan Zhiqing had come to see him, and that he had acted like a hooligan and let you see him.

Bai Han grew up in front of you, and you know what kind of character he has. I really don't believe he could do such a thing.

So I want to ask you what you saw last night, did Bai Han really behave like a hooligan towards Wan Zhiqing?"

The two aunts saw that the captain looked very haggard and knew that he had been worried and had not slept all night, so they told him everything they heard and saw last night.

"We only heard Xiaohan telling Wan Zhiqing to let go, saying he couldn't help her, and asking Wan Zhiqing to stop bothering him. Then Wan Zhiqing accused her of being a hooligan. We don't know what happened before that."

The two aunts didn't tell Song Shuangshuang that they seemed to have seen Wan Xue looking for Bai Han before, for fear that they had made a mistake.

"Is that all you saw?" The captain was a little disappointed.

The two aunts nodded. After all, they couldn't bear to see the captain like this, so they asked

"Did Wan Zhiqing come to see you?"

The captain shook his head and said, "She didn't come to me, but I was afraid she would report it to the police, so I thought I would quickly ask you if you saw anything so that I could testify for my son. I didn't expect... Oh."

The team leader felt there was no hope, so he asked Aunt Wang and Aunt Chang to go back first.

"My two sisters-in-law, please keep this a secret and don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, we won't say anything nonsense."

After Aunt Chang and Aunt Wang left, the captain's back finally bent.

Because he didn't sleep the whole night, the captain got up a little later than usual at noon. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Wan Xue coming to his house.

Wan Xue looked aggrieved and said, "Captain, I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay, come in." The captain didn't show it on his face, but he knew in his heart that there was no way to avoid this matter. It all depended on what conditions Wan Xue put forward.

Wan Xue guessed that Bai Han would tell the captain about the matter, but she still had that aggrieved expression.

"Wan Zhiqing, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Captain, Bai Han acted like a hooligan to me. How do you think we should deal with him?"

"How should I deal with it? My son didn't do this at all. How do you want me to deal with it? Should I marry you and then give you the recommendation quota like you told him?" the captain asked back.

Wan Xue didn't want to pretend anymore. "But last night, Aunt Wang, Aunt Chang, and Zhiqing Song also saw your son arguing with me. If I report this to the police, and they come to the village to ask them, what do you think they will say? Will they say they didn't hear anything?"

I am an innocent educated youth. How can I use my innocent reputation to deceive others? "

After hearing what she said, the captain was sure that Wan Xue had deliberately let them see what happened last night. He had no choice but to continue to argue with Wan Xue.

"But they didn't see what my son did to you. Are they going to convict my son based on your one-sided story?

Wan Xue, do you think the police are all fools? "

Wan Xue curled the corners of her lips slightly, without saying a word, she watched the captain slowly roll up his sleeves, and under the captain's shocked gaze, he took off the scarf around his neck, revealing the marks on his body.

"Then tell me, if the police see these marks on my body, who will they believe?"

The captain stood up suddenly, pointed at Wan Xue, and said "you you you" without being able to say anything. His face turned pale and red, and it was unknown whether he was angry or something.

Wan Xue sneered, "What do you think we should do this time?"

The captain slumped on the stool and asked Wan Xue in a hoarse voice, "Is it worth it for you to do this just for a recommendation?" She even gave up her own innocence to threaten him.

The captain didn't say the following sentence.

Wan Xue didn't want to answer the captain's words, she just asked him what to do.

"How can I not agree since you have done this much?" What else could he do for his son.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the results to be announced. I hope the captain won't let me down, otherwise I'll be too sad about not getting a recommendation and get drunk and say something, and then your family won't be able to hold their heads up in the village anymore."

Seeing Wan Xue leave, the captain slumped down on the stool, looking as if he had aged several years.

After an unknown amount of time, the captain wiped his face, stood up and went back to look for something.

The captain's wife had been back home for the past few days, and she didn't know what had happened at home. When she came back, it was not yet time to get off work, and she was stunned for a moment when she saw her door open, thinking that her house had been robbed. She gently put the basket she was carrying on the ground, took a wooden stick, and tiptoed into the house.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the house, I didn't see a thief, but I saw my husband hunched over counting money.

"Why didn't you go to the fields?" Wang Yan didn't expect that her man was at home.

Seeing that the captain didn't say anything, she put the stick aside and sat opposite him. Only then did she realize how depressed her man was.

"Something happened at home." Wang Yan panicked.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she felt that something big had happened at home while she was away.

"Now that you're back, it's okay. I can handle it." The captain didn't want to make his wife anxious, so he put the money on the kang back into the biscuit box and put it aside.

He had just counted the family's savings and planned to talk to the village chief and the accountant about the recommendation quota tonight.

How many years have they lived together as a couple? How could Wang Yan not know that her husband was hiding something from her? She stood on the ground and looked directly at her husband.

"Bai Anjia, don't hide it from me, what's going on? Why are you counting money?"

She was in charge of the household expenses, and her husband only asked her how much she had spent and saved at the end of the year. This was the first time this had happened.

The captain opened his mouth and closed it again.

He didn't know how to tell his wife.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and it was not until Bai Han came back that Wang Yan figured out what had happened...
