Chapter 36 Making trouble
It was already dark and the whole village was very quiet. When I walked outside the educated youth site, I could hear the lively and noisy sounds inside.
"We have been taking care of the private plots at the educated youth camp. Why should we let them pick the crops now? Besides, they have also been separated and started their own plots."
"The private plots at the educated youth sites were originally for the common use of all educated youth. There was no such thing as any one individual using the plots."
This is Xu Jianshan's voice.
"The private plot is shared, but we have always been the ones taking care of it. When has Lin Qingyan ever taken care of her private plot? Why should she go and pick vegetables?
Lin Qingyan, come out, why are you hiding in the house pretending to be a fool?" Sun Qiushui stood in the yard and shouted at Lin Qingyan's house.
"Did you see Lin Zhiqing picking them?"
Xu Jianshan saw that it was getting dark and was just about to eat when he was called out by the noise outside. He now had a headache whenever he saw Sun Qiu Shui.
"It's not her or anyone else. The rest of us are all eating together. Everyone knows when to cook what dishes. Recently, we haven't cooked Chinese cabbage.
Winter is coming soon. We are preparing the cabbages in the backyard for winter. We have counted them many times, but today we found that several were missing. Who else could it be but her? "
Sun Qiu Shui shouted at the top of her voice, asking Lin Qingyan to come out.
The two people who had just walked to the door of the educated youth center looked at each other, and Lin Qingyan said to Ye Yi:
"Don't go in yet, hide the things in the backpack outside and take them back later.
Take these two backpacks first, and don't go in for now. I'll go hide the things and wait for me to come back."
"Together we will."
Ye Yi turned around and prepared to leave together, but Lin Qingyan stopped her, "Listen to what they say first, don't be impulsive, wait for me to come back."
After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she turned around and left quickly. The youth cadre site was at the westernmost entrance of the village. There were no houses here, and it was already dark.
Lin Qingyan found a secluded place, put down the backpack, put all the rabbit meat and the backpack into the space, and then walked quickly towards the educated youth point.
At this time, Ye Yi listened to Sun Qiu Shui's constant shouting inside, and even went to Lin Qingyan's door to knock on it.
Ye Yi couldn't wait any longer, so she walked in with a backpack full of mountain products and asked:
"Sun Qiushui, what are you doing?"
"Ye Yi, you're here just in time. Where's Lin Qingyan?"
"What do you want to do with Qingyan?"
"Why? Of course, to ask her why she picked the vegetables from the reserve."
"The private plot belongs to the educated youths, not to you personally, right? What right do you have to control whether others pick their fruits?"
"The private plot is for public use, but the vegetables on it are grown by us. Lin Qingyan has never grown any, right? Why should she use it?"
"Since the fire was removed, when has Qingyan ever gone to her private plot to pick vegetables? Did you see it?"
"I didn't see it, but someone else did."
"Who saw it?" Ye Yi looked around domineeringly and asked everyone in the yard.
She was answered by silence.
"Even if she didn't go to pick vegetables, so what? If I remember correctly, most of the land in my private plot was planted by me. Does it have anything to do with you?"
"I, I, I did water the plants." Sun Qiu Shui felt inexplicably timid when Ye Yi stared at her.
"You still have to pick vegetables. Some people are just thick-skinned. They have the time to do these things. You should think about how to spend the winter instead of looking for trouble."
"No one saw it, but it doesn't mean it's not true. The cabbages in my private plot were kept for winter consumption, but now a few are missing for unknown reasons.
Lin Qingyan stays in her room all day and doesn't come out. She has her own stove to light a fire. Who else could it be but her?"
"I, Gu Zhiqing and Fang Zhiqing also had the stove. Why didn't you say we stole it?"
"Did you steal that?" Sun Qiu Shui looked at Ye Yi suspiciously.
"Sun Zhiqing, you must provide evidence for everything. Some things cannot be said casually."
Seeing that the conversation was getting further and further away, Xu Jianshan interrupted it in time.
"How come there is no evidence? It was Wang Xiangyu who saw it."
When Lin Qingyan returned to the educated youth point, she didn't see Ye Yi at the door and knew that this guy couldn't help it and ran in because he was worried that Ye Yi would suffer a loss.
Just hearing this, I asked Wang Xiangyu who was standing behind me,
"Comrade Wang Xiangyu, when did you see me picking cabbages from my backyard plot?"
"I didn't, I didn't see it." Wang Xiangyu shook her head reflexively.
"Xiangyu, that's not what you said just now. You said the person who went to the backyard looked like Lin Zhiqing."
Sun Qiushui looked at Wang Xiangyu in disbelief, and her voice instantly rose an octave.
"I got up early this morning. I saw a figure sneaking to the backyard plot. But I didn't see clearly who it was."
Wang Xiangyu saw that she couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to step forward and explain.
"You said that she looked weak and frail. Apart from Lin Qingyan, who else in our educated youth camp is weak and frail?"
When Ye Yi heard this, she glanced at Lin Qingyan and recalled how Lin Qingyan threw stones at rabbits and wild boars in the mountains today. This was considered weak, and there should be no strong person in the educated youth point except Gu Yizhou.
"That may be your misunderstanding. I didn't say it was Lin Zhiqing."
"Misunderstanding? I called everyone out and talked for a long time, and now you say it's a misunderstanding?"
Sun Qiu Shui couldn't believe it and pointed at herself and asked.
"You're dumbfounded, right? You've been used as a gun." Seeing the two of them arguing among themselves, Ye Yi couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
"Ye Yi, I haven't offended you, are you exacerbating our internal conflicts?"
Wang Xiangyu had tears in her eyes, as if she was the one being bullied.
"I, Lin Qingyan, have never offended you, right? You come looking for trouble every other day. What's going on with these cabbages?
I believe some people know it very well in their hearts. Don't think I am easy to bully. If something strange happens again, please ask the police station to investigate it thoroughly."
Lin Qingyan was really annoyed by the inexplicable things that happened over and over again.
After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she turned to Xu Jianshan and said:
"Xu Zhiqing, the private plots at the Zhiqing site belong to everyone, right? We can all use them, right?"
"Yes, the private plots of the educated youth sites are shared and can be used by anyone. They do not belong to any one individual."
"Then please ask Xu Zhiqing to divide up some of the private plots tomorrow. We who don't want to partner with you will get a separate piece. We will plant our own crops so that no one will cause trouble in the future."
"Okay, let's turn the ground over now while the weather isn't too cold. It's getting late, let's all go back to the house. I hope that such misunderstandings won't happen again in the future.
Otherwise, I will report the actual situation to the village office and the Youth League Office." After Xu Jianshan finished speaking, he went back to his room.
The others also returned to their rooms one after another and looked at Wang Xiangyu who was about to go back.
Lin Qingyan flipped a stone in her palm and it flew out, hitting Wang Xiangyu lightly at the knee.
"Ah!" Wang Xiangyu just raised her foot to enter the house, one foot was on the threshold and the other was outside.
With this fall, his body was thrown straight out, his face made close contact with the ground, and blood spurted out of his nose instantly.
Wang Xiangyu opened her eyes and saw the blood on the ground, and she screamed. This scream was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
"People should not do bad things. If they do too many bad things, they will easily bump into things!"
Ye Yi looked at the person still lying on the ground with a gloating look.
When Wang Xiangyu heard this, she screamed.
"I was scared to death. Wang Xiangyu usually speaks very gently, but her voice is quite loud when she shouts!" Ye Yi was frightened by the voice.
"Don't mind your own business, just go!"
Lin Qingyan pulled Ye Yi, who was about to go watch the fun, to her room. Wang Cheng, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly came forward and called her.
