When the female educated youths heard Huang Yuanfeng’s words, they were stunned and angered.
One of them pointed at her and said, "Huang Yuanfeng, do you know that by coming back here, you tarnish not only your reputation but the reputation of all the educated youths?"
"Comrade Wang is right. Since you chose to leave back then, you should never have come back! We won’t welcome you here, leave this village now!" another female educated youth added.
Huang Yuanfeng looked at them and said calmly, "You don’t have any right to decide what I should or shouldn’t do. Not to mention that you are just strangers to me, even my parents have no right to dictate my life."
The moment they heard her words, Comrade Wang pushed her and stormed into the house. When they saw the house and vegetable garden, they were filled with jealousy and walked to the garden, planning to step on the tender sprouts.
Noticing their bad intentions, Huang Yuanfeng blocked their path and shouted, "This is my home! What you are doing is trespassing without permission. If you don’t leave now, I will sue you and demand that the production team give me justice!"
"Huang Yuanfeng, you are someone who has slept with who knows how many men. With your bad reputation, do you think anyone will give you justice? You are just dreaming!"
"Do you think you are still the previously popular educated youth? You are now nothing but dirty, broken shoes! Stop plastering gold on your face!"
"Who knows if she was pregnant with that rogue’s child?" another one added maliciously.
Hearing this, another educated youth added, "I heard she was indeed pregnant but lost her child afterward."
"Heavens, so she not only slept with that ugly, rough man, but also carried his child. She is so dirty, it’s disgusting!" Comrade Wang said with twisted satisfaction.
Although Huang Yuanfeng had regained her confidence, when facing such harsh words, they still triggered the worst memories from the incident.
Under their pointing fingers and cruel words, she squatted down and covered her ears with her head down. As her body trembled in fear, she muttered in panic, "I didn’t... I’m not dirty..."
"Yuluo... Yuluo, where are you?" she sobbed.
Just when she thought she would be swallowed by that nightmare again, a pair of strong arms pulled her into a warm embrace.
Han Yuluo hugged his girlfriend tightly and said anxiously, "Yuanfeng, I’m here. Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
Hearing his voice, Huang Yuanfeng reached out to hug his waist and asked, "Why are you coming back so late?"
"I’m sorry, it’s my fault. It’s fine now, don’t be afraid," Han Yuluo said while patting her back gently.
This time, they didn’t dare to linger any longer and quickly left the house. After they left, Han Yuluo tightened his hold on his girlfriend and said, "Yuanfeng, it’s okay now. I’m sorry for coming late."
It took her a long time to calm down before she said, "Yuluo, I don’t like this place. Can we not live here?"
Han Yuluo felt heartache when he saw his girlfriend’s pale face and terrified eyes. He nodded and replied, "Okay, I will find a place in another town. We will move out as soon as I get the house."
"Thank you, Yuluo," Huang Yuanfeng nodded.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Han Yuluo carried her into the house and brought a basin of water to help her clean up. After changing into a set of clean clothes, she drank some sugar water and went to sleep.
While he was accompanying her, Han Lihua and Han Liling were gathering wild vegetables in the mountain foothills. Since their location was far from the village, there were no other people there besides them.
Before they went to the seaside city, they had been used to gathering wild vegetables and firewood, so this kind of work was nothing new to them.
At this moment, they found a patch of edible mushrooms near the border between the mountain foothills and the forest. Seeing the mushrooms, Han Liling exclaimed with joy, "Lihua, we are lucky! Look at these plump mushrooms!"
