After driving Zhang Mazi away, Qi Jun and Chen Yan both looked at Wen Li with worried expressions.

"Wen, you're a scoundrel. Don't go out alone from now on, or he'll harass you!"

"Yes, Little Pear, remember to tell me where you're going next time, and I'll go with you!"

If Chen Yan stays with me from now on, how will Zhang Mazi have a chance to come looking for me?

Logically speaking, now that the female lead is focused on developing her relationship with the male lead, Zhang Mazi's appearance should have nothing to do with her. Perhaps influenced by the original plot, she always feels that the female lead is behind it all!

However, she still agreed readily on the surface.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be careful!"

Chen Yan kept her word. For the next few days, wherever she went, Chen Yan followed her closely. And with Chen Yan, Qi Jun followed as well.

This also resulted in Wen Li storing firewood at an extremely slow pace. With Chen Yan by her side, she couldn't go deep into the mountains and could only obediently stay with everyone else.

That day, Wen Li and Chen Yan had just come down from the mountain when several older women pointed and whispered at them with disdain.

Wen Li looked over in confusion, and the old women pretended to be busy again.

Chen Yan has a keen sense of emotion and immediately noticed something was wrong. "Xiao Li, has something happened? Why are these people looking at us so strangely?"

Wen Li was also completely confused. "Don't overthink it, let's go back first!"

As the two walked along the road, they encountered several villagers. In the past, they would greet Wen Li with a smile, but today, for some reason, the way they looked at her was very strange!

Wen Li had a gut feeling that this attack was aimed at her.

The two were walking on the edge of the field when they ran into Aunt Zhang, who looked at Wen Li with a hesitant expression.

Aunt Zhang was a cheerful and straightforward person. Her appearance clearly indicated that something was wrong, so Wen Li didn't bother to guess and asked her directly.

"Aunt Zhang, what happened?"

Seeing that everyone around them was watching, Aunt Zhang pulled her to the base of the tree.

"Just after you finished work, a letter arrived from Guo's family! After reading it, Guo almost fainted from crying!"

Wen Li was even more puzzled, "What does this have to do with me? Why is everyone looking at me like that?"

Aunt Zhang considered herself a good judge of character, and she didn't think Wen Li was the kind of person they were talking about. But everyone was describing her in such detail that Aunt Zhang was a little confused.

"Guo, the educated youth, has had her parents sever ties with her by publishing a notice in the newspaper!"

Wen Li recalled the original plot of the book. This part of the plot was not in the book at all. Later, Guo Caixia became rich with the female lead and even bought a car and a house for her younger brother. Later, her family treated her like an ancestor. Guo Caixia also gained a perfect family.

It seems that many plot points are not static!

"Aunt Zhang, you know my character, so just tell me! What exactly happened?"

Aunt Zhang looked at Wen Li with a complicated expression. Seeing that Wen Li really didn't know what had happened, she told her all the rumors she had heard that day.

"According to Yu and the other educated youth, Guo had originally passed the exam for a job, but she was worried that you wouldn't be able to do farm work in the countryside, so she secretly signed up to go to the countryside instead. As a result, after you went to the countryside, you looked down on her because she was poor and ignored her. Guo's parents cut off all ties with her because she insisted on going to the countryside!"

"Everyone's saying you have no conscience now!"

Aunt Zhang's words were rather tactful; in fact, the villagers' insults were much harsher, but she simply couldn't bring herself to say them in front of Wen Li.

Wen Li laughed out loud, laughing in anger. She never expected that Guo Caixia would dare to throw dirty water at her. Did she really think she had no evidence?

Aunt Zhang saw that Wen Li was still smiling and worried that Wen Li might be furious!

"Little Pear! Don't do anything rash!"

Worried about frightening Aunt Zhang, Wen Li composed herself and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm fine. I'll go back now!"

"Hey! Don't be impulsive!"

Wen Li waved her hand, and the moment she turned around, her face was extremely gloomy.

Chen Yan quickly comforted her, "Xiao Li, don't be angry. Let's go confront Guo Caixia. I don't believe she's such a selfless person!"

Wen Li gently patted Chen Yan's arm. "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

On their way back, people were still pointing and whispering, looking at Wen Li with contempt, thinking she was ungrateful and a complete ingrate!

These days, jobs are so hard to come by!

There aren't many people like Guo Caixia who are so kind and righteous. It's just that she has poor eyesight. She gave up her job for someone like Wen Li and came to the countryside to suffer!

Guo Caixia quickly became famous in the village, and while people sympathized with her, they also felt a sense of pity for her.

Wen Li recalled that the people in the educated youth compound had been giving her strange looks these past few days. She thought it was because she had started the fire alone, which had angered them. She hadn't expected this to happen!

A few days ago, Su Hao clearly had something to say to me, but Yu Shuang interrupted him with her unreasonable nagging. It seems that Su Hao wanted to talk about this at that time.

When Wen Li and Chen Yan returned to the educated youth compound, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the two of them.

Liu Xiu curled her lip and nudged Niu Zhaodi beside her with her elbow. "Some people still have the nerve to show their faces. If it were me, I'd hide at home and never come out!"

Niu Zhaodi glanced at Wen Li, then turned to Liu Xiu and said, "Who says otherwise! Her skin is as thick as a city wall; we can't compare!"

Wen Li's cold gaze swept over the two of them, and they were instantly frightened by her look, immediately shutting their mouths in a huff.

"Where is Guo Caixia?"

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing that Wen Li's visit was ill-intentioned, Pan Yong immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Wen Li didn't even glance at him. "Yanyan, go and get me the diary from that drawer on the kang!"

Wen Li found the diary while packing her luggage. It had been hidden in a compartment of the original owner's suitcase, and she almost missed it.

Wen Li glanced through it and found a lot of interesting things inside, so she kept it to pass the time and also to learn about how the original owner got along with her family. She never expected it to come in handy now.

After Chen Yan left, Wen Li walked directly into the house.

Pan Yong quickly stepped in front of her, "Wen, what are you trying to do? Haven't you made Guo suffer enough? She's fainted from crying several times already. Have some compassion!"

"Idiot, get out!"

Pan Yong was taken aback when Wen Li started swearing.

Just as Wen Li was about to go inside, Jiang Chen stepped forward, looking at her with disgust and coldly uttering a few words.

"Enough is enough!"

Wen Li looked at him with equal disgust. "Who do you think you are? Instead of keeping a low profile, you dare to stand up for others?"

Jiang Chen's previously calm face instantly changed. He stared intently at Wen Li, as if trying to figure out what Wen Li meant!

Ke Wenli simply walked past him, not giving him a chance to ask questions, and stepped inside, leaving him only with a dashing back view!
