Chapter 43 I'm Sorry, I Didn't Mean It
The next day, Xu Qinghuan heard the radio and was about to go back to sleep when Qiao Xinyu called her out, "If you want to go to the county, get up quickly and go to the intersection to take a bus, or walk to the commune?"

Xu Qinghuan suddenly woke up.

At this moment, the door was knocked open with a clang, and Duan Qingmei came in. "Who was the last one to use the water yesterday? All the water in the water tank was used up. Didn't you save some for breakfast this morning?"

She didn't know why she was so angry. She kicked the shoe in front of her heel outward, and the shoe flew up and fell on Xu Qinghuan's bedding.

Xu Qinghuan raised his eyelids and gave her a cold look.

Qiao Xinyu was also very angry and said, "Yesterday when we came back and were about to boil water for a bath, there was not a drop of water left in the water tank. We were wondering if you were deliberately not leaving water for us."

Duan Qingmei fired back at Qiao Xinyu, "Who didn't leave you some water? I clearly left more than half a tank of water after I boiled the water yesterday."

Lu Nianying's eyes flashed, and she smiled, "That's a misunderstanding. Qingmei, wait a minute, I'll go get some water. If I'm late, you won't be able to have breakfast, and what will you do if you're late for work?"

Xu Qinghuan and others have not received their food yet. If they cannot provide food this morning, the Youth League Institute will definitely not cook for them.

They didn't plan to eat at the educated youth center. As they were new here, they definitely wouldn't bring everything with them and would have to go out and buy some.

But Duan Qingmei and the others are different. They have to go to work, and their work points will be deducted if they are late.

"Wait!" Xu Qinghuan glanced at the shoes on the quilt. "Who on earth deliberately wasted all the water in the water tank yesterday? Aren't you going to get to the bottom of this?

Also, you hit me with your shoe, are you just going to let this go?"

Duan Qingmei's face looked very unhappy. She actually wanted to hit Yu Xiaomin, but her aim was wrong and she hit Xu Qinghuan's quilt.

But when asked to apologize, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

If she didn't apologize, she would be afraid of Xu Qinghuan.

Finally, after stammering for a long time, she said stiffly, "I'm sorry!"

He glared at Xu Qinghuan fiercely, his face full of resentment.

A newcomer,

Xu Qinghuan didn't even look at her, "Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

Lu Nianying said from the side, "Qinghuan, for my sake, just let it go. Qingmei has already apologized, there's no need to be so unreasonable!"

Xu Qinghuan picked up his shoe and smashed it towards Lu Nianying's face, hitting her right in the face. She covered her face, shaking with anger, her eyes looking as if she wanted to swallow Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan pulled the corners of his lips, revealing a sarcastic smile, and said perfunctorily, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"

"You did it on purpose!" Lu Nianying said angrily.

Qiao Xinyu said from the side, "Lu Zhiqing, for my sake, let it go. Qinghuan has already apologized, there's no need to be so unreasonable!"

puff!
Yu Xiaomin couldn't help laughing out loud, and Xu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing either.

She said to Duan Qingmei, "This is the last time. If you dare to mess with me again, I won't be able to get rid of you with just a simple apology!"

Duan Qingmei took a deep breath and finally lowered her head. "I'm sorry!" After that, she turned around and ran out.

Outside, the male educated youth also started making a fuss, "We clearly drew a large vat of water yesterday, how come it's gone?"

This is what collective life is like. No one wants to do more or give others an advantage.

The people in charge of fetching water yesterday were Liu Zhijian and Huang Dahai. The former was a nerd, and lice could be seen crawling on his collar. The latter seemed honest and decent, but his eyes were moving around, and he had a lot of ulterior motives.

The person who is dissatisfied is Huang Dahai.

Today it is Zhang Tieshan and Zhou Changsheng's turn to fetch water.

But the usual practice has been that yesterday's water should at least last until today's breakfast, because it may be too late to fetch water early in the morning.

Zhang Tieshan patted Huang Dahai on the shoulder and said, "Forget it. They must have used up all the water because they came back late yesterday. You can just take the trouble to fetch two more buckets!"

As soon as Xu Qinghuan came out, he heard this and said coldly, "I fetched the water I used last night when we came back. There was not a drop of water in the water tank. I don't care who used it up. Don't blame us."

Zhang Tieshan choked and said unhappily, "It's not a big deal. We don't blame you for anything. It's all used up. You newcomers don't know the rules. If you make a mistake, just correct it."

Xu Qinghuan looked him over and sneered, "Captain, you are very broad-minded, but we don't need it. After all, we are not the ones who made the mistake."

Lu Nianying covered her face and cried, "Huanhuan, I just said something fair, and you hit me with your shoes. Isn't that too much?"

This is to publicly execute Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan resisted the urge to slap the woman twice, his face gloomy as if water was about to drip, "Lu Zhiqing, we are not familiar with each other. If I were you, you would definitely stay away from me. I do all this for your own good;
After all, you keep leaning towards me, so this is the only way I can use to keep you away from me. Do you understand my good intentions? "

Qu Qiongfang frowned and said, "Xu Zhiqing, we are all from the same Youth Institution. We have come from all over the world, and it is fate that we are together. Lu Zhiqing doesn't have bad intentions in wanting to be friends with you. Why do you treat him like this?"

Chen Dewen sneered, "Qu Zhiqing, if I were you, I would just shut up. You know nothing. Who are you trying to show off to with such righteousness?"

Qu Qiongfang is the eldest sister in the Youth League Institute. She is from the third batch and has been in the countryside for seven years. She is in the same batch as Zhang Tieshan.

Some of this group of educated youth returned to the city, some got married, and some married local female members of the commune. Now there are only four people left in the educated youth site.

Relying on her seniority, Qu Qiongfang dared to speak ill of Xu Qinghuan. However, she was ridiculed by Chen Dewen, the new educated youth, and her face immediately turned very ugly.

"Chen Zhiqing, how can you talk like that? If you are dissatisfied with me as the deputy captain, you can just say it directly." Qu Qiongfang was furious. These new educated youth were simply too troublesome.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Deputy Captain Qu, what Chen Zhiqing wants to say is exactly what I want to say. Don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. You have lived longer than me, so you should understand this principle better than me.

The grudge between Lu Zhiqing and me is very complicated. If possible, I don't want to see her in my life. If I see her in front of me, I want to beat her up. So, I am really doing this for her own good!"

At this moment, a male educated youth asked Chen Dewen about the grudge between Xu Qinghuan and Lu Nianying. The reason why Xu Qinghuan told it in front of so many people on the train was because of today.

Chen Dewen did not hide it, and with Dai Yifeng there to testify, soon everyone looked at Xu Qinghuan with sympathy and understanding.

Lu Nianying cried, "I know I've let Qinghuan down, that's why I wanted to be her sister and make it up to her, but she didn't appreciate it. Woo woo woo, Qinghuan, can you forgive me?
If I knew my mother was your mother, I would have asked her to care for you more and take better care of you, so that you wouldn't have to suffer so much. I feel so bad when I think about you losing your mother because of me."
