Chapter 1435: Chapter 1435: Seventies Chronicle (10)

Chuzheng turned the people over to the police station, finished giving a simple statement, and left the station.

She looked up at the sky.

Well, that’s a wrap.

No going back now.

There are only a few buses from town to the village; miss them and you’re out of luck.

Chuzheng didn’t return to the village until the next day.

She ran into Xu Dawei at the village entrance.

Xu Dawei was with someone, seemingly ready to leave the village.

The person next to him nudged Xu Dawei.

Xu Dawei showed no expression and brushed past Chuzheng directly.

Since their breakup, Xu Dawei hadn’t contacted her.

Probably couldn’t get over it because of pride, the male ego at work.

”Dawei, what’s up with you guys?” Xu Dawei’s companion asked curiously.

”We broke up.”

”Why? You guys just got together.”

”How should I know,” Xu Dawei said, ”she suddenly wanted to break up with me.”

”...So, how far did you guys get before that?”

”How far could we get? We just started dating, and we didn’t even hold hands,” Xu Dawei said with a sullen face.

”...That’s a shame. She’s the prettiest girl in the village.”

These educated youths once bet who could win her over.

No one expected Xu Dawei to be the one.

”...”

Xu Dawei didn’t speak.

The companion continued, ”Come to think of it, did you see what she’s wearing? It looks like some high-quality dacron. And didn’t someone say she rode back on a bicycle? How’s she changed so much?”

Xu Dawei frowned.

The companion guessed maliciously, ”Do you think maybe she hooked up with some big shot in town?”

Those words seeped into Xu Dawei’s mind.

Thinking about her recent actions and those things, Xu Dawei felt there might be some truth to it, and anger brewed within him.

At the same time, he regretted not making the rice cooked while they were dating.

Chuzheng didn’t return home all night. As soon as she entered, she heard Zhang Xiaoping and Ling Shu chattering nonsense.

Their words weren’t anything pleasant.

Chuzheng pushed the door open and entered, and the voices inside suddenly paused.

Ling Shu and Zhang Xiaoping simultaneously looked towards the doorway.

”Big Sis, where did you go last night?”

Ling Shu asked.

”In town.”

”In town? Where did you stay?” Ling Shu chased.

Zhang Xiaoping rolled her eyes beside them, clearly not believing she was in town.

Chuzheng didn’t reply.

Ling Shu: ”You’re a girl, staying out all night is unbecoming. If people find out, what will they say about you?”

Chuzheng was too lazy to bother with Ling Shu and directly went inside and shut the door.

Zhang Xiaoping’s sharp voice drifted through the door gap, ”This is unacceptable, doesn’t she have any sense of decency!”

Ling Shu muttered something, but his voice was low, completely drowned out by Zhang Xiaoping.

Chuzheng’s night away somehow spread around the village.

Soon, some unpleasant rumors started circulating.

Whenever Chuzheng went out, she would see people looking at her with weird expressions.

”Look at what she’s wearing... How could Ling Shu’s family be so wealthy? I think it’s probably true.”

”What’s true?”

”You know... People say she’s doing that kind of thing outside.”

”What kind of thing?”

”That kind of thing.”

”...”

There was a collective gasp from the gossip crowd.

”No way?”

”Why not? Otherwise, how’d she get those things and that bike? Can Ling Shu afford it?”

Chuzheng walked past this group, and the discussion suddenly quieted down.

Chuzheng suddenly stopped and walked towards them.

The young girl was expressionless, hands in her pockets, yet several women seemed frightened, stepping back a bit.

Chuzheng directly sat on the nearby stone mill.

That commanding presence silenced the group of women.

Everyone: ”...”

Chuzheng’s hand rested on the stone, staring intently at them.

”Why the silence? Go on, let me hear it.”

If it were someone else facing this situation, they would definitely confront them, which would escalate into an argument.

With so many people, how could they not out-argue one person?

But this...

Sitting right in front of them, asking them to speak in her presence?

Never encountered such a tactic, and several of the gossip comrades were a bit dumbfounded.

”Let’s go, let’s go...”

Someone started to retreat.

The rest followed suit, fearing that Chuzheng might grab them.

”Sis, ignore them, they’ve got nothing better to do but gossip all day.”

Ling Mei saw Chuzheng with the group of women from far away and ran over to comfort her.

”What?”

”You know... those...”

Chuzheng was indifferent: ”It’s got nothing to do with me.”

Ling Mei: ”...”

She scrutinized Chuzheng for a while and saw her calm demeanor, seemingly genuinely unconcerned.

Ling Mei didn’t speak further.

Rumors spread in the village, and some local hooligans started pestering Chuzheng.

Some were verbally offensive, while others took advantage to touch her.

Those people usually ended up on the ground, calling her big sister.

Later, for some reason, this group simply followed Chuzheng around, calling her big sister repeatedly.

Chuzheng: ”...”

I don’t plan on taking on juniors.

So she beat them up again.

Some people are just... the more you hit them, the more they like it.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Did I activate a magnet for bad guys?

I’m a good person!

Ever since they tagged along with Chuzheng, her reputation in the village rose even higher.

People had all sorts of things to say.

Zhang Xiaoping cursed every day at home, and Ling Shu gave Chuzheng cold looks, speaking to her with an ’educational’ tone.

Chuzheng didn’t respond to them at all and went her own way.

”Sis, sis... I need to tell you something.”

Ling Mei came running urgently but hesitated far away when she saw the Villain Village Tyrant Group behind Chuzheng.

Why is sis always with them lately?

”What is it?”

Chuzheng walked towards Ling Mei.

Ling Mei then stepped forward: ”Sis, I just heard Ling Jiaojiao say Zhang Xiaoping plans to marry you off to the neighboring village.”

Chuzheng didn’t expect Zhang Xiaoping to move so quickly, preparing to marry her off before the story’s timeline.

”Who to?”

Ling Mei shook her head: ”I don’t know... Ling Jiaojiao didn’t say, but from her tone... I guess it’s not someone good, sis, what should we do?”

What kind of good match could an evil stepmother like Zhang Xiaoping possibly get for her sister?

”I have figured things out.”

Chuzheng took out a handful of candy for her, patted her shoulder, and told her to hurry home.

”Hey, sis...”

Chuzheng waved her hand and left with the Villain Village Tyrant Group.

Ling Mei: ”...”

Ling Mei looked down at the candies in her hand, fruit candies and milk candies—such things she’d only get to enjoy one or two pieces during Chinese New Year.

Chuzheng just handed over a handful?

Ling Mei looked towards the direction Chuzheng had left.

A few youths were joking around with the young girl, who walked confidently with her hands in her pockets.

Among so many people, she was still the most noticeable one.

Such vibes reminded Ling Mei of the film her uncle took her to see, resembling a big boss taking his crew out.
