The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 130 Cause and Effect

With Zhao Dongchuan's keen perception, he had already noticed Zhao Xiaofei's abnormality, but he was still unclear about the cause and effect of the matter and didn't know where the problem lay.

In fact, he had a guess in his mind, but it needed to be verified. After all, Zhao Xiaofei was the cousin of the original owner and it was not easy to act directly. He had to find a suitable opportunity to trick him.

The noodles were soon finished. Since there were several adults present, it was not Zhao Dongchuan's turn to clean up the meal. So he left the table, sat on a long bench nearby, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it calmly.

He looked at Zhao Xiaofei from time to time, and that meaningful smile made Zhao Xiaofei, who already had something to hide, even more uneasy.

While the adults were washing dishes and chatting in the kitchen, Zhao Dongchuan and Zhao Xiaofei were the only ones left in the living room. Zhao Dongchuan decided to test Zhao Xiaofei's attitude.

So he smiled and said, "Brother Xiaofei, you seem surprised to see me back?"

He stared at Zhao Xiaofei, staring into his eyes.

Zhao Xiaofei, who was still a young man with little experience in the world, couldn't help but look calm when he heard Zhao Dongchuan's question. His face turned red and he stuttered, "No...no..."

"Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart!" Zhao Dongchuan laughed at first, then his face changed and he said gloomily.

"I specifically consulted Director Li from the Street Office to find out. He told me everything!"

"You know everything?" When Zhao Xiaofei heard Zhao Dongchuan mention Director Li of the Street Office, his face changed obviously. He was so angry that his voice trembled a little.

When Zhao Dongchuan heard Zhao Xiaofei's answer, he knew what was going on. He really didn't expect that his cheap cousin was actually involved in his being arranged to work in Huangyuan.

I was speechless at the moment. The original owner had such a bad reputation that even his own cousin was trying to cheat him.

Or they colluded with outsiders to cheat him, which is speechless!

Zhao Dongchuan had a lot of thoughts in his mind and had already started thinking about how to deal with this cheap cousin.

At least teach him a lesson.

Zhao Dongchuan's face immediately darkened, and the fierce momentum that he had accumulated over a long period of practice burst out in an instant.

Zhao Xiaofei was shocked by this inexplicable momentum. He instantly felt like he was being stared at by a wild beast. His body was stiff and his heart was pounding. After a while, he quickly explained, "This matter... is really not my fault. You wanted to be a hero and save the beauty. I... I was forced to do it, so... Don't tell my mother!"

Zhao Dongchuan, who was originally in a gloomy mood, was amused by Zhao Xiaofei's attitude.

This cousin looks a few months older than him, but he still has such a childish mentality. She’s even afraid that he will go to his aunt to complain!

However, from what his cousin said, there seemed to be another hidden story. He was not the mastermind, but was forced to participate.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan felt a little more relaxed. He could use direct means to deal with others, but for his own cousin, he still had to give some face to his family, even though he was not Zhao Xiaofei's real cousin.

"Hahaha, cousin, look at what you said, why would I tell your mother... I can tell my uncle!" Zhao Dongchuan chuckled.

When Zhao Xiaofei heard Zhao Dongchuan say that he would not tell his mother, he forced a smile. But when he heard that he would tell his father, Zhao Xiaofei's joy suddenly turned into sadness and he looked sad.

"I say, cousin, we are cousins ​​after all. There is no need to be like this. Let's settle the matter between us privately!" Zhao Xiaofei immediately played the emotional card, came over and said in a mean manner.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance, just come out with me!" Zhao Dongchuan didn't want the adults to know about this, so he asked Zhao Xiaofei to go out with him.

After saying that, he walked out of the house and headed out of the yard.

Zhao Xiaofei stood there in a daze, his face changing for a while, but finally he followed him out obediently. He was really frightened by Zhao Dongchuan's appearance and felt a little scared.

Besides, Zhao Dongchuan has already mentioned Director Li of the Street Office, so the matter must have been exposed. There is no point in him resisting any further.

Walking to a corner outside the courtyard, Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile: "Brother Xiaofei, please explain!"

"Um, I don't know if you still remember, last year, um, no, it was the year before last, one day on your way home, when you passed through an alley......"

As Zhao Xiaofei continued to narrate the story, Zhao Dongchuan also found the original owner's memory of the incident.

It turned out to be the summer of the year before last, during the second semester of senior year in high school. The original owner, Zhao Dongchuan, was passing through a remote and deserted alley on his way home from school.

A gangster with long hair was touching and behaving in a lewd manner towards a female classmate from the same school, and he happened to catch her.

As a result, the original owner, Zhao Dongchuan, who was deeply influenced by the Red Flag education, suddenly had an inspiration. He picked up a large stone on the side of the road, attacked the gangster from behind and hit him in the head. In a few hits, he drove the gangster away.

"What does this have to do with my arrangement? I'm just acting bravely... Oh... Could it be that the gangster is Li Zhou? It doesn't seem right. The age doesn't match!" Zhao Dongchuan thought secretly in his heart.

"I remember this happening, and that girl was really pretty!" Zhao Dongchuan looked through his memory and saw the woman's appearance.

"That's right. The girl is pretty, but as the old saying goes, beauty brings disaster!" Zhao Xiaofei said a little angrily.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Dongchuan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Since you rescued that girl, have you been very close to her?"

"Intimate? No, we just ran into each other a few times at school, encountered each other a few times, and chatted briefly a few times. I didn't have any personal thoughts about her!" Zhao Dongchuan said in surprise.

"Yes, you can say that you have never had any bad intentions, but others don't think so...

That girl is very pretty, but there are many people who are interested in her. There is a young man from a wealthy family who has taken a fancy to her and has even spread the word in the circle that no one is allowed to get close to her. You..." Zhao Xiaofei was hesitant to speak.

Now Zhao Dongchuan understood that this was the real plot.

"That man's name is Li Zhou, right?" Zhao Dongchuan said with a grin as he looked at Zhao Xiaofei.

"You really know that person, that person is Li Zhou, from a military compound, at the same grade as me, and he fell in love with that school girl... Later, I don't know how he found out that you are my cousin, so one day he brought people to surround me... and then..." Zhao Xiaofei began to hesitate at the end of his speech.

Zhao Dongchuan now understood the whole story.

"It seems that this Li Zhou found out about my relationship with Zhao Xiaofei, and then used threats and bribes to coerce him into selling me out... However, judging from his description of Li Zhou's character, he will definitely not just send me to the countryside, but will also beat me up to vent his anger, right?"

There are still some doubts here, but Zhao Dongchuan has figured out the general course of events, so he no longer dwells on these details.

The question now is, what to do with this cheap cousin!
