Looking at Wen Li's feignedly innocent face, Jiang Yue'er wished she could scratch her face until it bled.

Wen Li's lips curved into a small smile. She loved seeing Jiang Yue'er's dislike for her yet unable to do anything about it. She pinched her palm hard to stop herself from laughing.

"Comrade Jiang, what exactly do you mean? What did I take from you? You need to explain yourself clearly, or I won't take this unwarranted insult!"

Chen Yan could tell from Wen Li's little gesture that she was secretly laughing to herself. "That's right, Comrade Jiang, tell everyone, what did Xiao Li take from you?"

Jiang Yue'er was so angry that she was panting heavily. She was so angry that she couldn't control her temper.

They had finally managed to dig open the entrance today, but when they went inside, the tomb was completely empty, with nothing but the coffin.

The first person she thought of who had the ability to take the boxes inside without anyone noticing was Wen Li.

But Jiang Chen and the others didn't believe him at all.

She tried several times to reveal the secret of the space, but each time she tried, her body seemed to lose control, and she couldn't say a word.

She was thoroughly ridiculed by that good-for-nothing Pan Yong, and Jiang Chen didn't even speak up for her, which made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness, a feeling that seemed to arise every time she encountered Wen Li.

But she's the female lead!

Why should Wen Li, a mere cannon fodder, keep suppressing me?

As soon as Jiang Chen returned, he hurriedly left the village. No one knew where he went, which made her feel even more aggrieved. The sense of superiority she had finally regained from Shu Yun was once again shattered.

"You know perfectly well what you took from me!"

"Then tell me, what exactly is it?"

Jiang Yue'er opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't say anything. It was always Wen Li who took her things.

When everyone first saw Jiang Yue'er's angry expression, they really thought that Wen Li had taken something from Jiang Yue'er, but it turned out to be just this?

Her vague and ambiguous manner, unable to even clearly explain what she lost, is clearly an attempt to cause trouble.

Qi Jun stepped forward. "Comrade Jiang, have you lost something? Tell me. If it really was Wen Zhiqing who took it, I'll immediately report it to the commune police. If it wasn't Wen Zhiqing, then you still need to apologize to him!"

When Jiang Yue'er saw that everyone was bullying her, she was so angry that she burst into tears. Her face, which was already ashen, was now streaked with tears, making everyone want to laugh.

Qi Yang looked at Qi Jun with displeasure, "Qi, as the person in charge of the educated youth compound, how can you bully Comrade Jiang without distinguishing right from wrong?"

Qi Jun almost laughed in anger. "I bullied her? Which eye of yours saw that?"

"Both eyes saw it. Comrade Jiang is a girl, and losing her things is already upsetting enough. Instead of comforting her, you're being so serious. What is this if not bullying?"

Everyone: ? ? ?

Qi Yang has been cursed? He wasn't always so indiscriminate in his thinking.

Qi Jun felt he couldn't explain things to Qi Yang, so he said, "Fine, you say I bullied her, then call the village chief and the brigade leader over. Since Comrade Jiang said that Wen Zhiqing took her things, then we'll report it to the police!"

"Don't threaten me with calling the police so easily. Since Comrade Jiang has already spoken, then please, Wen, hand over the items!"

Wen Li rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "Comrade Jiang, you say I took your things? Then tell me, what did I take? This isn't over until you explain yourself clearly!"

Jiang Yue'er was already annoyed enough, but she didn't expect Qi Yang to add to the trouble. She was too angry just now and didn't pay attention to the occasion. With so many people watching, she certainly couldn't reveal the matter of the ancient tomb.

Now everyone is clearly on Wen Li's side, so she doesn't dare to make a big fuss. If people find out about the ancient tomb, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.

"I misunderstood you!"

Wen Li crossed her arms, her face full of sarcasm. "Ha~ It's over with just a misunderstanding?"

Jiang Yue'er felt that Wen Li was looking at her as if she were something dirty, which was the most unacceptable thing to her.

"What else do you want?"

"Apologize!"

"On what grounds?"

"Just because you slandered me!"

Wen Li pressed on relentlessly, and Jiang Yue'er was rendered speechless by her imposing aura. She subconsciously looked at Qi Yang.

Qi Yang received Jiang Yue'er's gaze and shielded her behind him.

"Wen, why are you being so aggressive?"

Seeing Qi Yang's inability to distinguish right from wrong, Wen Li became even less polite to him. "What? She accused me of taking her things, and I don't even deserve an apology?"

Su Hao looked at Qi Yang with disdain. "Wen Zhiqing is right, Qi Zhiqing, you're not right. If you do something wrong, you should at least apologize!"

The undisguised stares of everyone instantly put Qi Yang to the spot. Seeing that Wen Li was going on and on, Qi Yang could only stubbornly speak:

"I apologize to you on behalf of Comrade Jiang, okay?"

Chen Yan: "Your apology isn't sincere!"

Qi Yang took a deep breath, his expression stiff as he looked at Wen Li, "I'm sorry!"

Seeing that it was about time, Wen Li pulled Chen Yan away.

This minor incident didn't cause much of a stir in the educated youth compound, but everyone now realized that Wen Li and Jiang Yue'er were indeed at odds.

It's only been a few days, and Jiang Yue'er is already trying to smear Wen Li. This Jiang Yue'er is no pushover.

However, the method was too stupid. If you want to slander someone, you should at least say what you lost!

He didn't even prepare for what might have been lost before spouting nonsense. What else is that but stupidity?

Back in the house, Wen Li took out the watermelon and asked Su Hao to put it in the well to chill, so they could eat it later.

Su Hao happily carried away the large watermelon weighing about ten pounds.

"Xiao Li, I've noticed that Shu Yun's gaze towards Jiang Yue'er is really strange! Every time I see her like that, I get this creepy feeling!"

Wen Li patted Chen Yan's hand, "Let them fight it out, don't get involved!"

"I really misjudged Shu Yun before. I thought she was just a simple-minded person who spoke her mind directly, but now it seems that's not entirely true!"

"Exactly! That's why they say you can know a person's face but not their heart!"

"Don't talk about her anymore, she's bad luck!"

Wenli:? !

Didn't you bring it up first?

"Today I went to the back hill and saw those two little girls in the cowshed cutting pig feed. They were surrounded by some village kids who threw stones at them and spat on them. It was so pitiful!"

"Are they alright?"

"They got hit a few times with pebbles, so I scolded those kids a bit. They were just being unreasonable!"

"Next time, just stop them and don't talk about it. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they might use it against us!"

Wen Li also felt sorry for the two girls, but the current situation was that if they accidentally said a few wrong words, they would be reported and demoted.

Chen Yan is speaking up for the people who have been sent to the countryside. If she is reported, she will get into trouble.

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid!"

"Okay, okay, I know you're not afraid!"
