Chapter 243 – Li Yalan’s Apology

Li Yalan, who remained in her original spot, had a flushed face, feeling as if she had been slapped.

She never expected that Jiang Junmo had also been an educated youth!

Then, wasn’t her previous mockery of Lu Xia’s marriage to a rural man unfounded?

Why didn’t she refute it earlier and let herself become the subject of ridicule?

Thinking this over, Li Yalan’s expression became even more unpleasant.

When Feng Zhenzhu came out, she saw Li Yalan standing there with an odd expression and hurried over to ask, “Yalan, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing her, Li Yalan’s expression immediately turned somewhat aggrieved, and she looked like she was on the verge of tears. “What should I do, Zhenzhu? I just said the wrong thing. Will Educated Youth Lu and Educated Youth Jiang be mad at me?”

Feng Zhenzhu didn’t know who Educated Youth Jiang was, but seeing her so anxious, she quickly said, “It’s alright, if there’s anything, just explain it clearly.”

Li Yalan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nervously asked, “Can I really do that?”

“Of course, I’ll go with you!” Feng Zhenzhu assured, patting her chest.

Li Yalan finally smiled, “Okay, thanks, Zhenzhu, you’re really kind.”

“No problem, we’re friends.”

…

Then, Lu Xia’s side was approached by two individuals offering apologies.

No, to be precise, one person was apologizing, and the other was supporting.

Li Yalan, resembling a delicate white flower, timidly approached her, carefully uttering, “Educated Youth Lu, I didn’t mean to earlier. Can you forgive me?”

Initially, Lu Xia wasn’t sure what was going on, or why this person suddenly came over to apologize. So, she was momentarily taken aback.

Then she heard Feng Zhenzhu beside her, sounding somewhat irritated, saying, “Yalan has already apologized to you. What more do you want?”

Upon hearing Feng Zhenzhu speak, Li Yalan hurriedly interjected, “Zhenzhu, don’t blame Educated Youth Lu. It’s my fault. I said the wrong things. It’s normal if Educated Youth Lu doesn’t forgive me.”

“How could it be your fault? I think she’s just being petty! Getting angry over such a trivial matter!”

…

Hearing their words, Lu Xia was left speechless. Why did she always seem to encounter bizarre situations?

Furthermore, from their tones, it felt like they were bullying her and insisting that she shouldn’t forgive them.

Looking at Li Yalan’s demeanor, she appeared gentle and understanding. If she weren’t the one involved, Lu Xia might have thought she was the one being bullied.

By this point, other educated youths nearby had become curious and gathered around.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

Seeing everyone come over, Li Yalan’s expression became even more aggrieved, but she still pretended to be understanding, saying, “It’s nothing. I made a mistake, and I’m currently seeking forgiveness from Educated Youth Lu.”

Lu Xia, upon hearing this, was even more baffled. She looked directly at Li Yalan and asked, “Actually, I’m also curious. Educated Youth Li, I don’t quite understand. Where did you offend me? Why do you need to come and apologize? I don’t get it.”

Speaking while smiling at the others, she continued, “I also don’t know what’s going on. Educated Youth Li suddenly came to apologize to me, and it left me bewildered. I don’t know how to respond. Then Educated Youth Feng said I won’t forgive her and called me petty. I was puzzled, too. Are they rehearsing some scene? How come I’ve turned into an actor without even figuring things out? Am I playing the role of a villain?”

“Haha!”

Hearing her words, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

On the other side, Li Yalan seemed unable to accept it. Her body wavered a bit, as if she might faint any moment.

Seeing this, Feng Zhenzhu quickly supported her and glared at Lu Xia, saying, “Why are you like this? Yalan clearly came to apologize to you, and yet you’re mocking her.”

Lu Xia’s expression remained unchanged. “That’s why I’m puzzled. Why did she suddenly apologize to me? What did she do to offend me?”

Chapter 244 – Exposing Directly

.

Feng Zhenzhu turned her gaze towards Li Yalan, seemingly wanting her to explain.

Li Yalan bit her lip and spoke as if she was wronged, saying, “I just greeted Brother Jiang a moment ago, not knowing he was an educated youth. I misspoke, so I wanted to apologize.”

“Oh? Just for this?”

Lu Xia raised an eyebrow, “You didn’t say much, just welcomed my partner to the educated youth spot, and then he explained that there’s no need for a welcome, as he’s also an educated youth. For such a small matter, you think he would be angry? Oh, and you directly skipped him and came to apologize to me?”

At this point, Lu Xia couldn’t help but chuckle, finding it a bit hard to understand what this young girl was thinking.

“Don’t even mention the fact that we wouldn’t have paid much attention to such a trivial matter. Even if you thought we were angry, when coming to apologize, couldn’t you explain the reason first?
You came up here with an air of grievance, as if you were afraid others wouldn’t misunderstand and think I bullied you?
What’s this? You just arrived in the countryside and you’re already trying to establish dominance with an old educated youth like me?
Or perhaps you’re trying to showcase how noble the newcomer, the pure and flawless little flower, is?
Well, Educated Youth Li, this is an educated youth spot, not a theater. There’s no need to act, and there’s not so much scheming and plotting. The way you’re behaving is really unnecessary!”

Having said that, Lu Xia no longer paid her any attention and turned to look at Jiang Junmo, who was approaching with a child in his arms.

Jiang Junmo, on the other hand, spoke directly, “The child is hungry, so we won’t eat here.”

After speaking, he nodded at the old educated youths and was about to leave, but he stopped when passing by Li Yalan.

“This… um, Educated Youth Li? If you’re apologizing for misspeaking, you should come to me. Why are you looking for my wife?”

Without waiting for her response, he walked away directly.

Left behind, Li Yalan’s face turned pale and then green. She hadn’t expected her usual tricks to be so quickly exposed by others.

She had been so directly pinpointed by Lu Xia. On her very first day here, such a thing happened. Her impression on everyone was probably not good.

Just as she was thinking of a way to remedy the situation, the most dazzling and confident female educated youth in the group suddenly chuckled. She didn’t hold back either, saying, “Hah, what a drama we have here. No wonder, so you’re taking the white lotus route! But you’ve picked the wrong target. Educated Youth Lu isn’t that easily fooled. You should have chosen a man, someone more susceptible to your tactics.”

After saying that, she looked at Li Yalan, whose face grew even paler, and mockingly smiled before leaving.

As for Gu Xiangnan, although he also wanted to leave, being the leader of the educated youths, he couldn’t. He had to stay.

However, the atmosphere was tense. The new educated youths briefly introduced themselves and then ate in silence before dispersing.

Back in their quarters, Feng Zhenzhu was still indignant on her behalf. “How could they say such things about you? They’re really mean. I didn’t expect the educated youths to be like this. How are we going to get by in the future?”

Li Yalan tried to lift her spirits and comforted her, “Zhenzhu, don’t worry. Today was my mistake. I misunderstood Educated Youth Lu and the others. It’s reasonable for them to be angry. It’ll probably get better in the future.”

Feng Zhenzhu sighed, “Alas, Yalan, you’re just too kind! Back when we were sent to the countryside, we should have followed my family’s advice and stayed near home. We shouldn’t have listened to you and come to the Northeast. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have encountered such unreasonable people!”

Hearing her words, Li Yalan immediately perked up and reassured her. After calming her down, she finally fell silent.

After enduring a few days of traveling, her body was already tired. In addition, she hadn’t expected this incident to happen, which made her get off to a bad start in the educated youth spot.

So, at this moment, she was pondering how she could change everyone’s impression of her…
