<strong>Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Kill a Thousand Enemies at the Cost of Eight Hundred of Our Own</strong>
At dusk, just after the Team Leader’s family had finished their dinner, the main room was crowded with vigers who hade to watch television, including the young and the old and even several Educated Youths from the Youth Educated Institute.
However, during the opening theme song of tonight’s first episode of the series, a chaotic noise erupted from the entrance of the courtyard to the main room.
“What’s all the ruckus about? The TV series has started, if you want to argue, go elsewhere!”
An irritable young man turned his head towards the entrance of the main room and shouted at the top of his lungs.
But it had no effect.
“Have you no shame? In Aoli Vige, who doesn’t know that Su Qing is soon to marry Comrade Zhou Weimin? Yet here you are, dragging Comrade Zhou Weimin into the woods today. What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to steal Su Qing from him? Let me tell you, with us Educated Youths here, you won’t achieve your goal!”
“How can you say I went into the woods with Brother Weimin? We were only talking. You all are crazy, attacking me without even waiting for an exnation, dragging me here to the Team Leader’s House to demand justice. You call yourselves cultured Educated Youths? More like irrational harpies!”
Xu Chunxia was desperately trying to stay calm; she felt like she had been cursed, caught red-handed in the woods by Su Qing and two other female Educated Youths just as she was about to seed.
Now she had no choice but to deny her intentions towards Zhou Weimin, otherwise, she could kiss her reputation goodbye. Once she got home, she was bound to get a beating from her parents and relentless mockery from her brothers.
However, some things cannot be denied just because Xu Chunxia wants to deny them. After all, if Su Qing hade to catch someone in the woods, she hadn’t nned on giving Xu Chunxia any way out.
Though this might embarrass Zhou Weimin and herself as well, she couldn’t care less; she just didn’t want the duck, already cooked, to be snatched from her mouth!
“Comrade Xu Chunxia, what were you and Comrade Zhou Weimin doing in the woods? You know, and we know. If you don’t admit it, I don’t mind helping you remember the scene when we caught you.”
Xu Chunxia red fiercely at the two female Educated Youths using her: “Educated Youth Hu, what benefits did Educated Youth Su and Educated Youth Zhang give you that you nder me like this? Even willing to act like a mad dog for her!”
“Comrade Xu Chunxia, how can you… how can you talk about Educated Youth Hu and Educated Youth Zhang like that? They are just seeking justice. What’s wrong with that, and what have I done wrong?
We three were walking through the vige after dinner and unintentionally approached that grove, not expecting… not expecting to inadvertently see you dragging Comrade Zhou Weimin into the woods,
Comrade Xu Chunxia, Comrade Zhou Weimin and I are already engaged, and we’re to be married in December. Why… why would you do such a thing? Don’t you know what shame is?”
With tears shimmering in her eyes, Su Qing feigned heartbreak. She turned to Zhou Weimin, “Say something! I’ll believe whatever you say. Tell everyone, what were you doing going into the woods with her?”
Zhou Weimin hung his head, his lips pursed, remaining silent.
He felt as if, the moment he and Xu Chunxia were caught in the woods by Su Qing and the other two female Educated Youths, it was as embarrassing as being stripped naked in a public square.
Now being pressured by Su Qing to dere his stance, Zhou Weimin truly wished he could choke her and ask, was it necessary? Was it necessary to make such a fuss over this trivial matter, turning him into aughingstock for everyone to gawk at?
