Chapter 525 I feel like a popular person
After talking at cross purposes for a while, the villagers saw that the people from the Youth League House still didn't understand what they were talking about, and they were too lazy to beat around the bush with them, so they just asked them directly whether Liu Zhang from the Youth League House and Li Qinglai were in that kind of relationship.
The person being asked was Zhang Guoqing.
Zhang Guoqing didn't expect that the villagers would ask so directly, and his face turned red.
"Why don't you speak?" Seeing his reaction, the villagers became even more curious and excited. Could it be true as the rumors in the village said?
Zhang Guoqing saw that everyone was staring at him and couldn't speak clearly. "I, I, I don't know either."
What could he know? They were just gossiping before, so how could he know what the relationship between the two people was.
But the villagers were even more curious about Zhang Guoqing's reaction and kept asking him questions.
Since Zhang Guoqing came to Jiangjia Village, he had never seen such "enthusiastic" villagers. They almost surrounded him. Fortunately, the whistle for the end of work sounded, saving his life.
"It's time to get off work. I have to go back."
After saying that, he squeezed out of the crowd surrounding him. He looked as if a wild boar was chasing him and he wanted to run straight back to the Youth League Home.
The villagers had to go home to cook, so they didn't worry about this issue anymore.
Zhang Guoqing really ran back to the Youth League Home in one breath, and after returning, he kept drinking water.
While Liu Zhang and Li Qinglai were away at dinner, Zhang Guoqing talked about this matter in a depressed tone.
"This makes me feel like I'm a hot commodity. If I hadn't just gotten off work, I would have been surrounded by these aunts for the whole morning."
As soon as Zhang Guoqing finished speaking, the expressions of the other people also became unnatural.
"You guys... uh, you guys are like this too?"
Cao Qi and Cui Ziming nodded.
Not to mention the two of them, even Gao Wenyuan, who was in the same team with Bai Lingling, was asked this question several times this morning. As a result, he didn't earn many work points in the morning and was also scolded by the team leader.
"Who spread this?! Isn't this bringing shame to our Youth Academy?!"
As soon as Cui Ziming said this, several people thought of one person at the same time.
Bai Lingling!!
She must have spread the news!
They certainly wouldn't tell anyone about this. Fan Lanfang and Lu Xiaotao weren't the kind of people who would meddle in other people's business, so they certainly wouldn't tell anyone. Only Bai Lingling, this idiot, could spread this.
Wasn't she the one who mentioned this matter first? Her purpose was to ask Liu Zhang and Li Qing for money.
Now that the news has spread to the village, I guess they are thinking the same thing!
Several people's faces were not very good. Bai Lingling's behavior was simply trampling on the face of them, the educated youth. They had already anticipated that in the future, the people in their educated youth home would once again become the subject of discussion among the villagers.
And now they are sure that what Bai Lingling said is probably false and is just for money.
How hateful!
At this time, Liu Zhang and Li Qing came into the room, and Cao Qi and the others immediately looked at them.
Seeing that the expressions of several people were not right, Liu Zhang asked them what was wrong and whether something had happened.
Now, the expressions of several people became even more unnatural.
Don't they know about this yet?
"Liu Zhiqing, Li Zhiqing, you two...didn't you hear anything?" Although Zhang Guoqing was a straightforward person, he still knew how to be tactful when talking about such things.
Liu Zhang and Li Qinglai acted as if they didn't understand what he was talking about.
How could they not know? They were neither blind nor deaf, so how could they not see the villagers' pointing and talking? How could they not hear what the villagers were saying?
This reaction was just agreed upon.
Just based on what they had said behind their backs before, it was enough to prove that they were half-believing and half-doubting this matter. It would be better to take this opportunity to clear themselves and let them stop speculating about the relationship between the two of them in the future.
Of course, this was Li Qinglai’s idea, but Liu Zhang thought more.
He can take this opportunity to disguise himself as a victim, so that even if Bai Lingling gets into trouble, he can still make excuses.
That’s right, Liu Zhang never gave up on teaching Bai Lingling a lesson. In fact, his ideas were very extreme and he had already prepared for the worst.
However, he did not let Li Qinglai know this.
Zhang Guoqing and Cui Ziming felt a little guilty. They had talked about them behind their backs before.
Sooner or later, they would know what the villagers were talking about, so they did not hide anything and told everything out loud.
“It seems that all the villagers know about this matter. They have been asking us about it this morning.
But don't worry, we are definitely not talking nonsense. We all know that Bai Lingling is definitely talking nonsense and we don't believe her.
The question is, how do the villagers explain that?"
Cui Ziming couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards Liu Zhang and Li Qinglai. This kind of thing is hard to explain. It seems that no matter how you explain it, no one will believe it. If there are a few more impulsive people in the village, they will report them directly, right? Wouldn't that ruin it?
"Why don't you talk to Bai Lingling and ask her to clarify with the villagers that she is just making this up. It's not true at all. Otherwise, how are you going to live in the village in the future?"
After thinking about it, he came up with this idea.
Liu Zhang pretended to be very embarrassed and said
"Bai Lingling came to us a few days ago and said that if we didn't give her 100 yuan, she would tell everyone about this matter. We didn't agree at the time. She also told us not to regret it.
If I go to her now, she'll probably think I'm guilty and scared, and will ask us for more money.
Even if we were forced to death, we couldn’t raise that much money.”
"What?! One hundred dollars!? Is Bai Lingling crazy about money?!"
Cao Qi screamed in surprise.
What is the concept of one hundred yuan! It is enough for several families in the village to spend for two years!
"She is so poor that she either steals food or cheats people out of money."
“Let’s wait and see. It never happened in the first place. Maybe the villagers will stop talking about it in a few days.
There is also something I need to trouble you with. If the villagers ask you about this again, please tell them that it is not true.
If it doesn't work, I'll go find the village chief and the team leader and let them make the decision."
"Don't worry. You said it was never true. We will definitely explain it to you and show that Bai Lingling made it up to cheat you out of money."
Zhang Guoqing agreed immediately.
He would definitely make this matter clear for them, and not let them be slandered for nothing. It was also an apology for what he had said behind their backs.
Gao Wenyuan and Cui Ziming gave the same answer.
"Thank you so much."
While the male educated youth was talking about this matter, Fan Lanfang and Lu Xiaotao were also talking about it.
The two of them lined up behind Bai Lingling to cook today. After cooking, they ate in the kitchen instead of going back to the house.
Today, some villagers also came to them to ask about Liu Zhang and Li Qinglai, but the number of people who came to them was much less than that of the male educated youth. Perhaps it was because the villagers all lived in the boys' dormitory and knew much more about the situation.
At the same time, they were very glad that they had changed groups, otherwise they really didn't know whether Bai Lingling would do something against them.
