Chapter 40 My Educated Youth Husband is Gone and Never to Return
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Zhao Xiu hadn't even swallowed the bun in her mouth when she choked on it.
Seeing how Li Min treated his sister, Zhao Guangming was about to step forward.
Zhu Daqiang stepped in front of Zhao Guangming to block him.
Zhao Guangming appeared thin and frail in front of Zhu Daqiang.
"Zhu Daqiang, get away from me. Li Min, let go of my sister."
"Hmph, you think you're right to steal food?" Zhu Daqiang and Li Min had just returned and went to clear the land, planning to plant vegetables.
The two had been busy for a while and wanted to come back to have a meal and rest.
As a result, we saw these two eat their steamed buns and steal their things so casually. They really gave them face.
Zhao Xiu finally spat out the steamed bun, grabbed Li Min's hair, and said, "You dare hit me? I'm not one to be trifled with."
The two of them started wrestling.
Zhao Guangming wanted to help his sister, and Zhu Daqiang didn't stand on ceremony.
With one hand, he lifted Zhao Guangming up and walked out of the educated youth compound, leaving him on the road.
It was lunchtime, and hearing the commotion, everyone popped out to see what was going on.
Someone went up to take a look and found that two female educated youths were still pulling each other's hair in the educated youth compound.
"The educated youth are fighting! The educated youth are fighting!"
Someone quickly ran to find the brigade leader.
A woman stepped forward and pulled Li Min and Zhao Xiu apart.
Both of their hair were messy.
Zhao Xiu's braids turned into an afro, and Li Min's short hair became a messy, unkempt style.
The captain also dropped his rice bowl and rushed over.
This educated youth has only been here for two days and already caused trouble; he's really brought back a few problems.
When the captain arrived, Zhao Guangming hid behind someone else; Zhu Daqiang was too powerful, and he couldn't beat him.
Zhao Xiu and Li Min were also injured and looked quite disheveled.
"Come on, tell me, what are you doing?"
"Captain, you must stand up for us! Li Min and Zhu Daqiang are going to beat us to death!"
Zhao Xiu ran to the brigade leader, sobbing.
The captain frowned and moved aside. "Why is this young lady standing so close to him? She should just talk."
Moreover, given her disheveled appearance, those who arrived later, unaware of the situation, might have assumed she had done something illicit.
"Speak properly, Li Min, Zhu Daqiang, why did you attack me?"
Seeing that Li Min and Zhu Daqiang were relatively calm, the captain asked them a question.
"Captain, Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu are stealing food."
Li Min also knew that Zhu Daqiang had deliberately lured people here, hoping that the brigade leader would stand up for them.
"We didn't steal any food."
Zhao Xiu was furious when she heard Li Min say that about her.
Li Min went too far, attacking her right away and slandering her.
"I'm not asking you anything, so don't interrupt."
The captain was suddenly struck by a scream, and felt as if his ears had been blown off.
Zhao Xiu was crying and wouldn't speak properly just now, and now he's interrupting again. It's so annoying.
She was the one who had the most trouble on the way here.
"Captain, Zhu Daqiang and I went to the commune this morning and brought back two big meat buns, which we plan to eat for lunch."
After we came back, we asked you for a piece of wasteland, planning to plant some vegetables. We even asked Aunt Liu for advice on how to grow vegetables.
Before going to the fields, I was heating up meat buns in the kitchen with our new stove and pot. Aunt Liu saw this and even taught us that we could put two sweet potatoes in the stove to make roasted sweet potatoes.
We just finished working in the field. Aunt Liu went home to cook, and Zhu Daqiang and I came back too. We planned to have lunch and rest for a while before going back down to plant vegetables.
But when we came back, we saw Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu squatting by the pot eating meat buns, and the buns in the pot had disappeared.
That's why I said Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu stole things.
We were so angry that we started fighting.
But it was because they stole the meat buns first.
Li Min explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly, sentence by sentence.
Aunt Liu also testified that she saw Li Min heat up the meat buns that morning, saying they were going to have them for lunch, and that they had been in the fields until just now when they came back together.
"Zhao Guangming, Zhao Xiu, do you have anything to say? You stole the meat buns?"
The captain also gave Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu a chance to speak.
"They must have stolen some food; my hand was covered in oil."
"Look, there are still oil stains on their clothes."
"I can already smell the aroma of meat buns."
When Li Min was speaking, Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiu wanted to speak up, but their mouths were covered and they were not allowed to speak. Only after the captain spoke did they gain their freedom.
“We didn’t steal any; those two meat buns were originally ours.”
Zhao Xiu felt she hadn't done anything wrong; she hadn't stolen any food.
"Do you dare say you bought these meat buns?" Li Min retorted.
“We didn’t buy them, but we’re just eating together anyway. Even though you bought the meat buns, we can still eat them.”
We didn't know you only prepared two meat buns, and we were so hungry that we ate them all.
I already said that you prepared lunch, and I'll cook dinner in the evening.
Why would you fight us over a meat bun?
Zhao Xiu felt she was in the right, and that she was in the wrong because Li Min attacked her right away.
"She's acting so self-righteous because someone else bought her meat buns?"
Those around Zhao Xiu were also amazed by his words; he really had a thick skin.
Those are big meat buns, how can you be so at ease?
They make stealing food sound so nice.
“Zhao Xiu, we never said we wanted to team up with you.”
The pot and stove were bought by Zhu Daqiang and me. We're just eating together, it has nothing to do with you siblings.
Don't even think about taking advantage of us.
By the way, let me make this clear: don't touch our things anymore. If you want to eat or drink something, get it yourself.
"You can forget about getting a piece of the vegetable garden that Zhu Daqiang and I cleared and planted."
Faced with Zhao Xiu's self-righteous statement about taking advantage of others, Li Min gained a new understanding of the selfishness of the siblings.
So it's better to cut ties cleanly now, and let everyone know that they've fallen out with the Zhao siblings. From now on, they can only represent themselves, not the other educated youth.
"We're all former educated youth, is it really necessary to be so strict about separating us? We all live together, it's too much trouble to keep us apart."
Zhao Guangming was unwilling to see the two of them making such a clear distinction.
The brother and sister were already short of money, and they were hoping that Li Min and Zhu Daqiang would help them out. Being together would always bring them some convenience.
“We don’t think it’s troublesome. The brigade leader is here, and we’ve already said that you can use the original stoves and cooking pots at the educated youth settlement, but don’t touch the boiler we bought.”
From now on, things like firewood and water will be handled separately by each party.
We grow and take care of our own vegetable garden. Don't come here under the guise of helping out, only to wander around and then pretend to pick our vegetables.
Zhu Daqiang also expressed his attitude.
