Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

The commotion here was too intense, and the leaders at the commune who were working inside came out one by one to ask what was happening.

Even some people who were about to ride ox carts into the village stopped.

Alright, Zhang Yu understood, this time he had really offended Wang Ji. Sigh, the butterfly effect this time was really significant.

But no matter how anxious he felt inside, there was nothing he could do. The situation had already happened, besides waiting, all he could do was wait.

Zhang Hui looked at the commune leaders who had come out in droves and couldn’t help but panic. She no longer remembered that she used to support Zhan Min in various ways, "Sis, there won’t be any trouble, will there?"

"How would I know?" Zhang Yu was also helpless. Now, knowing fear, yet the issue had already escalated.

Qian Hao also felt helpless, tilted his mouth, and stood beside Zhao Yadong.

As for Guo Bo who had just spoken out earlier, he also felt regretful. Why did he assume the village chief would be afraid of them when he didn’t speak up? He really had water in his brain.

It was only at this moment that he realized, it was just the two of them who spoke out, while four others didn’t make a sound at all — how overboard, those few were really too wicked.

He glared fiercely at Qian Hao and the others, but Qian Hao and the others were speechless. Were they the ones egging them on? When Zhan Min spoke, they didn’t even react!

Someone insisted on speaking up, who could be blamed? Qian Hao coldly looked at Guo Bo, while Zhao Yadong directly glared back at him, really thought he was easy to bully.

Guo Bo then turned his gaze to Zhang Yu, but the latter didn’t back down, just looked at him directly, silently saying, "Idiot."

Qian Hao turned his head just in time to see Zhang Yu’s mouthing, and couldn’t help but laugh — indeed, Guo Bo really was an idiot.

Anyone with a bit of brain wouldn’t get into a fight with the village chief, it’s official: idiot certified.

Guo Bo was so angered by Zhang Yu’s words he almost died. He really didn’t expect Zhang Yu to call him an idiot. That really got him riled up; he really wanted to rush over and question why he called him that.

But thinking about the village chief and the commune leaders being present, he could only remain honest.

Zhan Min brought up the issue of the village not allowing them to ride the ox cart, "He’s just looking down on us intellectual youth."

After Zhan Min finished speaking, Wang Ji slowly revealed the truth, "Originally, the bricks were to be collected in a couple of days, but the brick factory informed us the day before yesterday that it could be collected yesterday. Of course, we had to collect them, or else we would be worried if the pigsty or cowshed collapsed."

"Before, the bricks were stored at various villagers’ homes, and everyone was worried. If we didn’t go to collect them yesterday and they were taken, who knows when we could collect them again?"

"Yesterday, the village made several trips to the commune with the ox, it got exhausted; shouldn’t we let the ox rest?" Wang Ji was really fearless, as collecting bricks was a sudden occurrence yesterday.

The commune leaders knew about the collapse of the Pioneer Team’s pigsty and cowshed, "That’s a serious issue."

Not only do village cadres dislike intellectual youth, but commune leaders also dislike these intellectual youths. They knew yesterday was about hauling bricks to build the pigsty and cowshed, and they felt it was justified.

"You city folks don’t understand the importance of an ox to the village. Yesterday it was exhausted, if it gets tired again today, it will take a long time to recover," a leader stated.

Once the leader spoke, Zhang Yu knew the tone for this matter was set — they were siding with the village chief.

Indeed, since what they said was reasonable and well-founded, the commune leaders would certainly favor him.

Zhan Min didn’t expect that after all her fuss, the result would be like this; of course, her mood was unsatisfied, "So we should just walk back to the village?"

The commune leaders, seeing this person who quoted slogans nonstop, also had a headache. Knowing this person was likely a Little Red Guard, they knew that if they clashed with her, they wouldn’t have a good outcome.

Leaders are still leaders at the end of the day, and they quickly came up with a solution, "How about this, you can stay at the guesthouse for one night, and tomorrow let the village arrange for a cart to come to pick you up."

"Does it cost money?" Zhan Min didn’t have much money at hand, so she was concerned about this.

"Accommodation is free, shared lodging," the leader directly said that staying in the dormitory was free, "But meals will cost money, after all, you have to spend money on food when you return to the village too."

Upon hearing accommodation was free, Zhan Min couldn’t help but be tempted, but hearing that meals would cost her money was a bit unsatisfactory.

In her view, since accommodation was free, shouldn’t they be generous enough not to charge for meals?

"What do you all think." Well then, let’s see what they think.

"We’re going back to the village today." Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong looked at each other and directly stated.

Zhang Hui, hearing that the village would arrange ox carts tomorrow to pick them up, was really tempted and turned to look at Zhang Yu.

"I’ll go back today." Zhang Yu wouldn’t dare to be bold enough to let the village arrange a vehicle to pick them up tomorrow — that would be completely at odds with the village.

More importantly, since Zhan Min was staying overnight at the commune, would they end up sharing a room or dining together?

Forget it, although she didn’t specify her family situation, from her stingy attitude with money, it seems she didn’t have much.

It’s not about despising her for lacking money, but she doesn’t have money, and when she sees others spending money, she makes various snide comments. Saying what she says, directly ignoring it is an option.

But then this person is back and forth, saying you’re spending lavishly, and in turn still taking a bite, saying she just wants to taste. If someone is unhappy, she’ll say, "How could you look down on a poor person like me?" claiming she’s justified for not having money.

Zhang Yu anyway keeps a distance from her, the big arguments being in her favor.

Zhang Hui didn’t expect Zhang Yu to leave directly, "We have to walk over."

Zhang Yu replied, "I know, you can choose tomorrow, it’s up to you."

All are adults, of course, they could take responsibility for their choices.

Ah, Zhang Hui looked resentfully at Zhang Yu, she said let her pick, but what could she do? Would she have to stick with Zhan Min? Forget it, then she might mention lacking money and ask her to treat her to dinner?

Zhang Hui didn’t want to be that fool, knowing if Zhang Yu were around she’d definitely refute, "I’ll go with you too."

The only one who hadn’t made a choice was Guo Bo as Zhan Min looked at him.

Guo Bo didn’t expect making a choice would be so pressurized, it was really tough to answer. Based on previous behavior, of course, staying would be expected.

But recalling Zhan Min’s behavior over the past few days, Guo Bo knew that if he stayed, it would certainly be much more troublesome. After thinking it over, "I’ll return too."

Qian Hao couldn’t hold back again, seeing? Fussed around half the day, wasted much time, yet ended up going back to the village — what was the fuss for earlier, truly an "idiot."

Upon hearing Qian Hao’s voice, Zhang Yu glanced at him then lowered her head, unable to hold back either.

Guo Bo’s answer was truly unexpected by Zhan Min. When Qian Hao and the others said they’d go back to the village, she was disappointed but not overly so, as she thought she still had Guo Bo.

But who could have guessed that the person who just shared the trench with her now said they’d return to the village, "You, you, you..."
