The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 67: The Curtain Falls

Aunt Li, hearing her foolish son's words, originally intended to save him some face in public and scold him at home. However, she couldn't hold back any longer.

She stepped forward and yanked his ear, saying, "She wasn't intentional? We all saw it clearly. She confessed her love to Fu Yu and held him back from leaving. She even tore her own clothes open."

The young man, seemingly in disbelief, turned to the others who had come out with Aunt Li.

Aunt Wang scoffed, "Exactly, all of us saw it. This female educated youth is really something, throwing herself at a man like that. Hmph, so shameless."

The men who had come out with them also joined in with vulgar comments. "But you have to admit, Educated Youth Xu does have a great figure. If she's really lacking a man, there are plenty of single guys in the village. Why does she have to pull this kind of stunt...?"

"What do you know? She has high standards. She's aiming for the head of the brigade's family. You think she'd look at just any family?"

"Psh, as if we care. I wouldn't want a woman like that even if she were free. A woman like her is more poisonous than a bee's sting... One wrong move, and she could accuse you of being a hooligan. Then it's game over for you."

"Come on, Lanzi, I don't believe you'd refuse if she were actually offered to you."

"Of course, I'd take her if she were free..." He continued talking while giving her a blatant once-over, his eyes filled with an indecent glint.

Hearing the villagers' discussion, Xu Yue felt like the sky was falling. This time, she truly felt faint. She grabbed Tian Juan and slowly collapsed.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Li spat on the ground, cursed, and dragged her disappointing son away by the ear.

Fu Weibai looked at the chaotic scene and said, "Everyone, go home. We still have work this afternoon. Go back."

The villagers began to disperse, and Fu Weibai turned to the educated youth standing nearby. He said to Fang Xuhua, "Comrade Fang, take Xu Yue back. We'll provide a resolution this afternoon. Since you're in charge of the educated youth group, you should attend the meeting to hear the result."

After saying this, he turned and left with his siblings.

Once Fu Weibai left, Fang Xuhua's face turned dark. He approached Tian Juan, who was supporting the fainted Xu Yue, and said, "Shameless."

The other female educated youth nearby stared at the two with resentment. They knew that sometimes the actions of one could implicate them all.

After this incident, they could imagine how the villagers would view the female educated youth.

Truly despicable. Just as the brigade leader said, shameless.

Some of the educated youth had originally hoped to find a good family in the village to marry into. Now, with this situation, what decent family would want an educated youth?

The more they thought about it, the sadder they felt. One or two of them couldn't help but start crying.

Tian Juan's face grew paler and paler. She now realized they were in big trouble. She clung to Xu Yue, too scared to speak.

Fang Xuhua knew that Xu Yue's actions had blown things out of proportion. With so many witnesses, there was no need for her to argue. He glanced at the still-unconscious Xu Yue and then turned to the male educated youth beside him. "Take her back to the educated youth dorm and lock her in. Wait for the brigade leader's decision."
