NovelEnglishChapter 380
As Lin Lan expected, although Liu Xiuyun was kind and quiet, she was also too nice and simple-minded. It could be said that she was ignorant to the point of being dense.
She refused to say who the man was.
Dong Huaihua directly spoke Youth Chen’s name and she was stunned for a moment before she immediately shook her head. Then, she lowered her head and twisted the corner of her clothes firmly to say no.

If you don’t get married, what do you plan to do? To have the entire Brigade hold a meeting to criticise you once you have a big belly? Or do you want your parents to be pointed at and gossiped about by every other family?”
‘Long live love’ and ‘long live freedom’ were all concepts that could only be nurtured in a special environment. In such a land, there had never been such a thing as love and freedom.
What’s more was that Youth Chen had no love for her at all, but as he just couldn’t bear the loneliness, he ended up searching for a gullible and ignorant girl to vent his frustrations.
“B-but, I-I can’t ruin him. He has a great future…” Liu Xiuyun couldn’t say anything as she just lowered her head and shed tears, “H-he said that after returning to the city, h-will come back to pick us up.”
Dong Huaihua couldn’t help saying angrily, “Going back to the city? To Hell with that! Without a stamp from the Brigade, what kind of city is he planning to go back to? Just because he has a great future, does that mean you don’t have one? Does Old Man Liu’s family deserve this? Does your father, mother, elder brother and elder sister-in-law deserve to be unlucky or be embarrassed just because they are related to you?”
Liu Xiuyun’s face was as pale as paper as she couldn’t speak a word.
Lin Lan couldn’t bear to criticise her. After all, ignorance, purity and kindness were originally her strengths. Now that they have become sharpened weapons that hurt her, she thought that it was cruel enough.
She had always been more tolerant towards women.

If news of this spreads out, our Shanzui Village will not be able to hold its name well. In the future, fingers would be pointing at us whenever a child of ours wants to get married.”
.
Village cadres would be teased and laughed at by the other cadres whenever they went to the Commune, which was embarrassing enough.
Lin Lan, “Let’s go find Youth Chen.”
After work, they found Youth Chen and asked to talk to him in a private space.
Youth Chen still tried to flirt with the two as he adorned a playful smile, but seeing the ice-cold faces of the two, he could only be cautious.
Dong Huaihua, “Youth Chen, you and Xiuyun are in a relationship…”
Youth Chen’s facial expressions immediately changed and he glared angrily, “Director, don’t put your words into my mouth. I am a pure and self-sufficient sent-down youth, but once one of your members gets pregnant, you’re trying to blame it on me? This is too ridiculous. Do you think that I’m that easy to go against? If you have to say that it’s mine, have Xiuyun come here— we’ll see if she dares to say that it belongs to me. If the victim herself claims that it isn’t mine, what are you going to do about it?”
