CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33: I STILL WANT TO GET MARRIED

Seeing her trying her best to endure, Lin Xiang instinctively wanted to curse out loud.

But she held back and asked Yang Lihua in the softest voice, "What... what did he do to you?"

Yang Lihua touched her lips with the pad of her finger, "He... he forcefully touched... my lips. He also... tried to put his hand into my clothes... but I fought back and he didn’t succeed."

Perhaps because she found it too difficult to talk about, Yang Lihua spoke intermittently.

Lin Xiang had already started rolling up her sleeves, "Calling him a scumbag was spot on. Not only does he mooch off others, but he also wants to use brute force? If we don’t teach him a good lesson today, he’ll really think all girls are easy to bully!"

Lin Xiang knew how much importance women placed on their reputation during this era.

Even though her soul was from the future, Lin Xiang wouldn’t think that being forcibly kissed and touched wasn’t a big deal.

Even though decades later, premarital behavior would become widespread, it always emphasized mutual consent. Any coercion against a woman’s will can be deemed as rape!

Wen Siyuan, deserves severe punishment!

Seeing Lin Xiang getting even angrier than herself, Yang Lihua quickly pulled her back, "Lin Xiang, I know you want to stand up for me, but... but this matter can’t be blown up, I..."

I still need to get married in the future!

Lin Xiang understood the words Yang Lihua couldn’t say aloud, she touched her own lips with her finger pad, "It’s not a big deal, just consider it as being bitten by a mad dog, and brush your teeth a few more times when you get back. Also, this matter is only between you and me, don’t tell a third person, got it?"

Lin Xiang knew Yang Lihua and Wen Siyuan hadn’t actually had any substantial relations, but others don’t know that!

Rumors change when passed around.

"Are you still going to confront Wen Siyuan?"

"Of course, why not? But I won’t use this as an excuse, don’t worry, I definitely won’t expose you."

Yang Lihua wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, "I’ll go with you!"

She had come to Lin Xiang in a panic, but that didn’t mean she was conceding to Lin Xiang!

Now she had adjusted her mindset and was sure she could make Wen Siyuan pay!

Lin Xiang didn’t mind and went out with Yang Lihua.

As they neared Smartie Courtyard, Lin Xiang didn’t forget to remind, "Did you learn everything I taught you just now?"

Yang Lihua frowned slightly, "Isn’t this framing someone? Aren’t we being too excessive?"

"Even if you want to be a saint, you need to choose the right person! For Wen Siyuan, who is rotten to the core, if you consider him, you deserve being bullied!"

It can only be said that Yang Lihua was too protected by the school.

"Right, he will go to any lengths to achieve his goals, he can do anything, I’m just fighting fire with fire, nothing to be embarrassed about. This is Wen Siyuan’s karma!"

Yang Lihua clenched her fist to cheer herself up, took two deep breaths, then rushed straight into Smartie Courtyard.

Smartie Courtyard wasn’t big, only had three rooms, where eighteen people, both new and old, were living.

Yang Lihua didn’t charge in directly, she stood in the courtyard, hand on hip, finger pointing at the room where the male residents lived, and shouted loudly, "Wen Siyuan, get out here! You stole my stuff and still won’t admit it, is this how your parents taught you?"

"Hurry up and return my stuff, or I’ll expose all your dirty deeds!"

"Wen Siyuan, don’t think you can hide in the room and I’ll have no way to deal with you. If you don’t come out and give me back my stuff, I’ll go to the team office and the commune to expose your crimes! Aren’t you thinking of returning to the city? I’ll make sure you can’t go back!"

Wen Siyuan originally planned to hide like a turtle, but upon hearing about returning to the city, he couldn’t stay put and came out.

He didn’t lose his temper with the emotional Yang Lihua, instead, he put on a troubled face, "Lihua, I’ve told you many times, I’m about to return to the city, we can’t be together, don’t focus on me anymore."

"You’re a good girl, your purity should be saved for your future husband, you shouldn’t lure me into making mistakes."

Wen Siyuan’s few words did more than Yang Lihua had said.

He even pinned the mistakes he made onto Yang Lihua.

Yang Lihua was a good girl from a young age, and also a good student in school, never encountering such a person, she didn’t know how to respond.

Her cluelessness only made it seem like she was really what Wen Siyuan described.

Yang Lihua felt she couldn’t stay any longer.

She wanted to escape.

At this moment, Lin Xiang rushed over, slapped Wen Siyuan across the face, and when that wasn’t enough, she kicked him heavily to the ground, stomping him a few more times.

"Running your mouth and spreading lies, especially such filthy ones? Wen Siyuan, you scum, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, I am not worthy of being Lin Xiang!"

Lin Xiang’s slaps and kicks quickly forced Wen Siyuan to beg for mercy.

Others at Smartie Courtyard were afraid that Lin Xiang might beat him too severely, and hurriedly asked a few women to hold her back.

Lin Xiang stood next to Yang Lihua, placing her right hand on Lihua’s shoulder, panting heavily.

"Wen Siyuan is just too despicable! He somehow heard that our Li Hua Team had a spot to return to the city, so he targeted Lihua, thinking that Lihua’s mom, being the women’s association leader, could help him manipulate it, giving the spot to him."

"Unexpectedly, after Lihua sternly rejected him, he held a grudge against Lihua and not only stole her Hero-brand pen but also spread filthy rumors about Lihua! Knowing how important reputation is for a woman, if today’s matter spreads, how can Lihua face anyone in the future?"

At this time, everyone at Smartie Courtyard ignored what Wen Siyuan had said earlier; they focused only on the key points of Lin Xiang’s words.

"Comrade Lin Xiang, you mean to say our Li Hua Team has a slot to return to the city?"

"You didn’t know?" Lin Xiang feigned surprise and then, suddenly slapped her forehead: "Look at my memory, how could Wen Siyuan be okay with letting you know about the return ticket?"

"The commune indeed gave our Li Hua Team a spot to return to the city, but the team leaders have not yet announced it, perhaps they haven’t decided who gets the spot yet."

"I must say, Wen Siyuan is just too awful, not straightforward at all, knowing the news but not sharing it with you, instead secretly trying to pull strings. When connections didn’t work out, he spread filthy rumors about a female comrade..."

"Everyone, you’ve lived with Wen Siyuan long enough to know what kind of person he is. Don’t take a word he said to heart!"
