Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: He Owes Me an Explanation

As the female educated youth turned to leave, everyone who shared her thoughts also turned back to the place where they were originally digging for wild vegetables. The few remaining people felt they couldn’t just ignore Zhang Wenjuan, so they approached her: ”Are you alright?”

Zhang Wenjuan was genuinely anxious now, with tears in her eyes: ”In this matter today, I’m the one at a loss, you have to help me.”

Someone asked puzzledly: ”Help you, how?”

Zhang Wenjuan sniffed: ”He needs to give me an explanation for this, right?”

The few who stayed looked at each other: What on earth was this about?

Zhang Wenjuan saw they were silent: ”We’re all women here, if you don’t help me, then I’ll have no choice but to die.”

Two of them were startled by her words: ”Okay, we’ll go with you to confront him and get an explanation, just don’t get any bad ideas.”

Originally, the few of them thought they’d finish gathering wild vegetables, collect some firewood, and then accompany her to find someone for an explanation, but to their surprise, Zhang Wenjuan said: ”Rest assured, by helping me this time, you’re actually helping yourselves. Only by sticking together will no one dare to bully us easily in the future.”

Convinced by Zhang Wenjuan’s words, they were completely swayed and started thinking she was right. If they stayed silent when being bullied, wouldn’t that fuel the arrogance of those vile people?

Moreover, if they turned a blind eye to others now, wouldn’t there be no one to help them when they faced difficulties in the future?

Consequently, these few stopped digging for wild vegetables or collecting firewood, and instead, they supported the aching Zhang Wenjuan as they headed down the mountain.

The rest stood and watched the departing group as if they were watching fools, and someone voiced out: ”Without evidence, just based on their words, they want to slander someone?”

Suddenly, they all burst into laughter, and the female educated youth who had a falling out with Zhang Wenjuan mocked: ”I think Zhang Wenjuan is directing this act herself.”

Upon hearing this, they all looked curious, and someone said: ”What do you know, come on, tell us?”

The female educated youth squatted down again, continuing to dig for wild vegetables as she spoke: ”I’m from the same batch of educated youth from Beijing as her, and I know a bit about her situation. You also know she used to be named Ye and now has changed her surname to Zhang.”

A girl chimed in: ”She said she lived with her aunt and uncle, and her aunt was afraid she’d be bullied by others, so she asked her to take her uncle’s surname. Now that she’s grown up, she naturally changed back to Zhang.”

The previous female educated youth snorted in derision: ”Ha, she’s quite the storyteller.”

”Come on, tell us, what’s really going on?”

”I’ll tell you, but don’t spread it around, or Zhang Wenjuan will come looking for trouble.”

”Go ahead, go ahead, we can keep a secret, don’t worry, we won’t say anything.”

The female educated youth had a hint of mockery in her eyes: ”One day I accidentally overheard a conversation between her and the fellow villager who often came looking for her. That’s when I found out Zhang Wenjuan had assumed someone else’s identity and grew up in a good family.”

She hadn’t finished speaking when someone gasped: ”Is something like that even possible?”

Someone else asked: ”Whose identity did she assume?”

At this point, someone who hadn’t spoken before said: ”Could it be Doctor Chu from the clinic?”

The female educated youth who had a falling out with Zhang Wenjuan asked in surprise: ”How did you guess?”

That person lowered their head, a little embarrassed: ”Previously, Ye Wenhui and Zhang Wenjuan claimed to be cousins, but then Ye Wenhui had a falling out with Zhang Wenjuan and they turned into enemies. Ye Wenhui even moved to a different dormitory.

Later, I once saw Ye Wenhui call Doctor Chu ’sister’ in the cafeteria. I didn’t think much of it before, but it came to mind today when talking about it.”
