Chapter 277: Is It Really Necessary to Make Such a Big Deal Out of It?

Liu Chuxue squatted down, stroked Zui Feng, and patted its head: "Alright, you've arrived safely. Go back now, stay sharp, and don't let anyone catch you."

After speaking, she and Xue Meijuan walked into the school together. Since they were not in the same exam hall, they exchanged words of encouragement before parting ways.

Zui Feng tilted its head left and right, and only when it could no longer see anyone did it turn and run away.

Fu Yanming had traveled on business to Changping County. After finishing his work there, he politely declined the enthusiastic invitation from the partner unit, explaining that he needed to stop by the northern suburbs farm on his way to check on his younger sister.

How could the brother unit let him leave like that? They immediately dispatched a vehicle to send him over.

After Fu Yanming got out of the car, he thanked the driver repeatedly before asking the locals about his sister: "Comrade, may I ask if Fu Yanwan lives here?"

They had already asked ahead earlier; all the educated youths assigned last year lived in this area.

Upon hearing the inquiry about Fu Yanwan, the man sized Fu Yanming up and down: "Who are you to her?"

"I am her older brother. I'm passing through on business and stopped by to see her."

Hearing that he was Fu Yanwan's older brother, the man became enthusiastic: "Come with me, I'll take you there."

As he spoke, he pointed in a direction: "She lives in the dormitory in the third row over there."

Fu Yanming thanked the man and followed him in that direction.

However, they had barely taken a few steps when a voice reached their ears: "Yanwan, Xiao Min didn't mean to not tell you. Since we couldn't find you earlier, and we are all educated youths from the capital city, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against her."

"Aren't you bullying people? This has happened several times. Every time it's the same old speech telling Yanwan to be magnanimous. How can you be so shameless?"

"Sun Juanjuan, what is this to you? If you don't want to help persuade her, that's fine, but why are you stirring up trouble?"

"I just can't stand your shameless behavior. Are you that close to her? Wearing her clothes without her permission and then asking her to be magnanimous—where is your shame?"

"How can you speak like that? We didn't wear the clothes. Why are you cursing at us?"

"It's truly easy to talk when you're not the one suffering. Since you are so generous, then you should chip in and pay for the dress. After all, you are all generous people."

"Sun Juanjuan, who do you think you are? The owner hasn't even spoken yet, and you're barking like a mad dog here."

"Juanjuan's meaning is my meaning. Since you keep asking me to be magnanimous, you must all be generous people too, so pay for the dress and the ration coupons on her behalf?"

"She just wore it for a bit. Isn't it fine after washing it?"

"Don't go too far. Autumn and winter clothes are one thing; they aren't worn against the skin, so I won't hold it against her. But summer clothes are worn against the skin, and I find it disgusting."

"What do you mean by wearing them first because I wasn't here? Taking without asking is stealing. Didn't your teachers and parents teach you that?"

"Yanwan, it's such a small thing. Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"

Hearing his sister's name, Fu Yanming unconsciously quickened his pace.

As soon as he saw the crowd gathering, he heard those words.

He was tall, and at a glance, he saw his sister standing inside, her eyes red with anger. He spoke coldly: "I've truly learned something new today. I'm going to find the leaders of your farm and ask if this is how you educate your people."

Fu Yanwan heard the familiar voice, looked up, and saw him: "Big Brother."

As soon as the words "Big Brother" left her lips, she pushed through the crowd surrounding her and ran toward Fu Yanming, who had already spread his arms to catch her.

Perhaps seeing family, the grievance in her heart could no longer be held back: "Big Brother, they are bullying me."
