Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 426 Zheng Fang hooks up

In the afternoon, Zheng Pengcheng led Fang Dong to the depths of the forest.

The two found an area with a lot of dead branches and picked up firewood there.

While picking up the trash, the two were still chatting.

Zheng Pengcheng remembered that Zhao Junhao asked Zhou Wenbing about Wang Lihua's arrest, but Zhou Wenbing did not answer and evaded the question by saying that the team leader had issued a gag order.

To be honest, he was also a little curious about what Wang Lihua had done.

"Fang Dong, do you know why Wang Lihua was arrested?

If it’s inconvenient to say, forget it, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

"It's inconvenient to say this."

"Didn't Zhou Wenbing say that the captain has issued a gag order, so it's okay for you to speak out?"

"The captain doesn't want too many people to talk about it, or else it would spread and bring discredit to the team.

Zheng Zhiqing, you are not a talkative person. I tell you, you will not make a big fuss about it, so what are you afraid of?"

"This Wang Lihua is also a fool.

You also know Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang.

They both used to live in a youth cadre center, but they just moved out a few days before you arrived.

The two of them had been in love with each other for a long time and had been secretly dating. Everyone in our educated youth site knew about it, except the villagers.

Wang Lihua also knew about this, but no one knew what she was thinking. She even went to pester Zheng Jianmin, and the three of them had a lot of conflicts.

Last winter, Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang took leave to go home for a visit. They also met their parents and decided on the marriage.

But for some reason, Wang Lihua still didn't give up and spent money to hire a gangster to ruin Qin Zhiqing's reputation.

She knew this, so she gave Zheng Jianmin an aphrodisiac, hoping to force him to marry her after the matter was settled.

But who knew that Wang Lihua's plan had already been discovered and told to the captain.

The gangster was hired by the captain to act with Wang Lihua, and the aphrodisiac was also a fake drug made by the captain to fool Wang Lihua.

When Wang Lihua attacked Zheng Jianmin, we were hiding outside and listening."

"This is not an attempted crime, so why was he sent to labor camp?"

"The captain originally wanted to settle the matter peacefully, to make a big deal out of a small matter, but Wang Lihua was out of her mind and kept making harsh remarks.

This angered Zheng Jianmin and Qin Fang, and the other educated youth also didn't want to live in the educated youth center with such a vicious woman.

The captain didn’t want her to stay here and bring bad influence to the villagers, so he simply arrested her and reported her to the police.”

"Do you think Wang Lihua has a problem with her brain? Zheng Jianmin isn't a good person either, so why is he so stubborn and keeps clinging to him?

This time, instead of harming anyone, you ended up getting yourself into trouble.”

“In fact, I think those educated youth who took advantage of others’ misfortunes were a bit inhumane.

Since the crime was attempted, there's no harm in letting him go.

It's a bit too much to just say some harsh words and then hold on to them.

I feel that the educated youth at the educated youth site, except for you, Fang Dong, seem a little difficult to get along with.

I feel that there are some problems with their attitude towards you. I always feel that they are excluding you and isolating you." Zheng Pengcheng took the opportunity to provoke.

"Zheng Zhiqing, you figured it out.

You are right. Those educated youth at the educated youth point were indeed isolating me.

Isolate them if you will. I don't like hypocritical people like them. It's best to keep to myself."

Zheng Pengcheng pretended to be casual and said, "I think you are a good person, much easier to get along with than those people. Why do they treat you like this?"

"Hey, you're targeting me just to please the villagers."

"Why?"

"You also know that these country folks only want to go to the city.

We, the educated youth from the city, are just tools for them to achieve their goals.

Before, a girl from the production team came up to me. Maybe she saw that I was from the city and wanted to get into the city through me.

I was worried about the bad influence, so I refused to pay any attention to them.

Later, I fell in love with a girl in the village and wanted to develop a revolutionary friendship with her, and she agreed.

After being together for a while, we felt that we were a good match and decided to settle down, and their family took the opportunity to propose conditions.

My goodness, the conditions are so harsh. Even if I marry a girl in the city, it won’t be worth a fraction of that. Their family is treating me as a sucker.

"If we couldn't come to an agreement, the marriage would naturally not happen, but her family put all the blame on me, spreading rumors outside to destroy my reputation and put me at odds with all the villagers."

"In order to please the villagers and prevent them from regarding them as my accomplices, the other people at the educated youth site also joined the villagers in their hatred of the enemy and targeted me together."

Although he didn't know the truth of the matter, Zheng Pengcheng, who had a certain understanding of Fang Dong's character through this period of time, did not believe a word of Fang Dong's words.

But in order to win over Fang Dong, he pretended to believe Fang Dong's words and angrily denounced other educated youth.

“How could those educated youth do this? It’s too much.

Although you are all individuals, you are acting as a whole when facing the villagers.

The villagers are bullying the educated youth like this, and it is also a slap in their faces. Not only do they not stand up for you, but they also join forces with the villagers to bully you together.

Do they still have any sense of collective honor? "

"If we do this, the villagers will think that the educated youth are easy to bully, and no one will take us seriously."

Fang Dong felt like he had found a confidant when he heard this, "Zheng Zhiqing, you are absolutely right, those people are so stupid that they were sold out, and they are still counting money.

Aren't they just providing the villagers with opportunities to defeat us one by one?

Isn’t Wang Lihua the best example?

You said there are jealousies among our educated youth, but why do we need to let the villagers know about it and even report it to the police?

Now that such a big incident has happened and the news has spread out, the reputation of us educated youth has been completely ruined.

They were all still feeling happy that they had gotten rid of Wang Lihua.

I always feel that Wang Lihua is not that stupid. Maybe they deliberately designed this incident."

Zheng Pengcheng agreed, "It's hard to say.

Fang Dong, it seems that you are a rare smart person among the educated youth. "

Zheng Pengcheng said some words praising Fang Dong and belittling other educated youth, which moved Fang Dong so much that he regarded Zheng Pengcheng as his confidant. If it weren't for the gender difference, he would have wanted to marry him.

Fang Dong said to Zheng Pengcheng with tears in his eyes, "Zheng Zhiqing, you understand me so well, why didn't you come here earlier? I could have met you earlier.

It’s so hard for me to endure this alone.”

Zheng Pengcheng smiled bitterly, "Why do I understand you so well? It's because we are in the same boat.

If you look at Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao's attitude towards me, you should know that I am in the same situation as you.

The three of us grew up together, and they have always been working together to target me and isolate me.

It was fine at home because I had other friends, but here, there are only three of us and they are still like this. It’s hard to describe how it feels.”

Fang Dong said angrily, "I have long disliked Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.

What does it look like for two grown men to stick together all day?

Besides, what right do they have to act so high and mighty and give orders?

And those things they said about you, I don’t know how they made them up.

After being with you for so long, I know that you are not the kind of person they say you are.

You really don't want to refute them and expose them, and let them ruin your reputation."

"There are two of them and one of me, two to one, how can I possibly win the argument? I can only let them do what they want.

I had hoped that everyone could be as discerning as you and see through their tricks, but who knows."

Zheng Pengcheng did not finish his next words, but just sighed, leaving people to think.

“But you can’t just take the beating and not fight back.

Since they are defaming you and ruining your reputation, you can also do the same and ruin their reputation." Fang Dong said angrily.

"Forget it. If I do the same, how will I look in the eyes of others?

We all came from the same compound. In the eyes of others, we are all the same kind of people. I am not trying to discredit the military compound."

"Zheng Zhiqing, you are so great. You are willing to swallow your anger just to protect the reputation of the military compound."

Next, there was another round of mutual flattery.

In the end, the two became close friends and began to call each other brothers.
