As the crowd dispersed, Wen Li followed Lu Zechuan back to the educated youth compound. Chen Yan had drunk too much tonight and didn't come out to watch the commotion. Wen Li went to her room to take a look and saw that she was fast asleep, so she went to the back door.

Lu Zechuan leaned lazily against the doorway, took out a cigarette and lit it. He rarely smoked unless he was really upset. The flickering light of the cigarette illuminated his face, making his angular features look even more handsome.

Wen Li slowly walked over, unsure of how to begin.

Lu Zechuan took a deep breath, and as the smoke filled the air, his brows furrowed involuntarily. He had grown up in a complicated environment and was not a kind person. He knew that the world was not black and white, but Wen Li's actions still greatly exceeded his expectations.

Especially tonight, from the moment Wen Li pretended to faint and was taken away, her every move was beyond his expectations. She showed no mercy to those people and remained calm throughout, not at all like a naive young girl.

She was so different from the pampered little girl Wen Xu described, as if they were not the same person.

"You don't need to do this yourself. You can get help from others. There's no need to get your hands dirty!"

Wen Li didn't hear any reproach, and her tense mood dissipated a little. She didn't really understand why she would feel inexplicably nervous every time she saw Lu Zechuan.

Perhaps it was because of his identity and the sense of justice that was ingrained in his bones that, even though he concealed it very well, he still gave people an inexplicable feeling of righteousness.

She wasn't a good person. She took over the original owner's body and never thought of avenging her. She originally just wanted to stay here peacefully until the college entrance exam, but many things were beyond her control.

Now that she's already clashed with the male and female leads, she can't afford to be soft-hearted in order to avoid ending up like the original owner in her previous life.

She even felt that the original owner was herself, and that the things the original owner experienced in her previous life were the same things she had experienced. That feeling was so real that she was unconsciously infected by the original owner's hatred.

She had considered that it might be her past life, but such things were too fantastical, and she couldn't figure out whether the emotions belonged to the original owner or to herself.

But she can no longer remain uninvolved, otherwise she might be driven mad by that hatred!

"What would you do if you were in my shoes?"

Lu Zechuan chuckled, "If I were in their shoes, I would throw them all into the back mountain!"

Wen Li carefully considered his words, then looked at him in surprise.

Lu Zechuan raised an eyebrow, a roguish look on his face. "Don't believe me?"

Wen Li met his dark eyes and subconsciously shook her head. "I believe you!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to care about what happened tonight, Lu Zechuan stubbed out his cigarette. "Don't be so impulsive next time you encounter something like this. You can't fight against everyone, and it's not wise to put yourself in danger!"

Back in her room, Wen Li was still a little confused about what Lu Zechuan was trying to say. Perhaps he did understand, but she wasn't sure.

Unable to figure it out, Wen Li stopped thinking about it. All she needed to know was that Lu Zechuan was on her side.

She just couldn't be so impulsive in the future. Lu Zechuan was right; she couldn't afford to get her hands dirty. She was worried that one day she would be consumed by hatred and become someone she wouldn't even recognize!

Wen Li slept soundly through the night. The next day was Yu Shuang's wedding day, and Wen Li gave Yu Shuang a piece of floral fabric.

Chen Yan also gave her a bottle of face cream, and Yu Shuang was so moved that she cried uncontrollably.

Just as it was time to start work, the two left Yu Shuang's room. As soon as they stepped out, they saw the door to the room diagonally opposite them creak open.

Wen Li looked up and saw Guo Caixia coming out of Jiang Chen's room, looking shy and timid. Guo Caixia had also seen the two of them.

When their eyes met, Guo Caixia gave a smug look, and although her face was covered, you could still tell that she was smiling very happily.

"Oh~ Finally, the clouds have parted and the moon has shone!" Yu Shuang also saw Guo Caixia come out. Even though she was getting married, she still couldn't stand seeing Guo Caixia so smug.

Guo Caixia finally slept with her beloved man last night. No matter how harsh Yu Shuang's words were, they couldn't affect her in the slightest. "Yu Zhiqing, I wish you and Comrade Jiang He a long and happy life together!"

Guo Caixia finished speaking and left with a smile.

Yu Shuang watched her arrogant retreating figure, her teeth itching with anger. "Hmph~ Don't be so smug. You think you've won? Don't forget, he already has someone else in his heart!"

Chen Yan tugged at Yu Shuang's wrist, "Say less!"

Yu Shuang said angrily, "I just can't stand her smug look!"

Chen Yan rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "You're married now, why do you still care about them?"

Upon hearing the word "marriage," Yu Shuang's expression darkened. "I understand!"

Seeing that it was almost time, Wen Li pulled Chen Yan to go to work.

As soon as Wen Li arrived at the grain drying yard, she heard everyone talking about what happened last night.

"I heard He Qiang's ass is all rotten, oh my god, I wonder if that will affect his ability to have a son!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! That's not necessarily true. Who would have thought that He Qiang, who looks so respectable, actually enjoys being with men!"

Seeing that everyone's mood was getting worse, Wen Li quickly pulled Chen Yan away from the aunties.

Chen Yan was unaware of what had happened last night. Like a wild horse, she broke free from Wen Li's grasp and desperately squeezed into the circle of her aunts.

"what?"

"Oh~"

"That's amazing?"

Looking at Chen Yan's animated expression, Wen Li really wondered if she was the old-fashioned one. Isn't it said that people in this era are more simple and honest?

The suggestive language used here is way more entertaining than anything you see online these days!

If she hadn't been the one who did it last night, she would have doubted her memory. In just one night, many versions of what happened last night had spread.

Some say He Qiang fell in love with a man because he couldn't have her, some say his manhood is impotent, and the most outrageous one is that he makes money by selling hooks!

Wen Li was puzzled, then greatly shocked, and silently applauded her aunts' fabricated stories.

Upon arriving at the field, Su Hao slyly approached Wen Li and said, "He Qiang had a severe hemorrhage last night and was taken to the county hospital!"

Wen Li's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected He Qiang to be in such a sorry state. Then, she looked at Su Hao with a puzzled expression, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Su Hao gave him a knowing look. "I was the one who called those villagers over last night!"

In a flash, Wen Li thought of a possibility, "What's your relationship with Lu Zhiqing?"

Su Hao didn't expect that Wen Li would suspect him so soon after he came up and said just one sentence. He turned his face away and didn't dare to look at her directly.

"Oh? It's okay, we just get along well!"

"oh!"

After Wen Li finished speaking, she took the sickle and left.

Su Hao was left completely bewildered. "What does 'Oh' mean?"
