PFFT! One of the other youths, who was taking a sip of water, heard Li Hongmei say that fighting was wrong and immediately spat it all out.
"I’m telling you, Li Hongmei, if you’re scared, just say you’re scared. ’Fighting is wrong’? You’re pathetic."
Li Hongmei was unpopular at the sent-down youth quarters, and no one really liked her.
That was why when Chen Ruoyu had challenged her to a fight earlier, not a single person had stepped in to mediate.
They knew Li Hongmei was no match for Chen Ruoyu.
For one thing, Li Hongmei was short, while Chen Ruoyu was a full head taller. If Chen Ruoyu grabbed her by the neck, Li Hongmei wouldn’t even be able to reach her.
Li Hongmei was furious, but she was helpless against them.
She glared coldly at the other youths in the dormitory. "I know why you’re all acting like this. You’re just trying to suck up to Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao, hoping they’ll give you the spots for the pig farming training. Well, I’m telling you, that’s never going to happen."
The expressions on everyone’s faces changed.
They all stood up in unison.
The sight of seven or eight people rising to their feet at once was incredibly intimidating.
Li Hongmei was scared to death, but she couldn’t afford to back down. She forced herself to shout at the top of her lungs.
"Am I wrong? Even the villagers have said it! We sent-down youth could be recalled to the city at any moment. If we get the training spots and then leave, who’s going to take care of the village’s pigs then?"
This was exactly why the villagers hadn’t considered the sent-down youth for the pig farming positions in the first place.
What would the village do after they’d learned the skills and then just left?
The other youths pressed their lips together, saying nothing.
If a chance to return to the city arose, none of them would pass it up. They weren’t noble enough to sacrifice their futures and stay in the village for the rest of their lives.
’When they first arrived in the countryside, they couldn’t even tell wheat shoots from weeds. They were never supposed to live such a hard, exhausting life.’
Seeing that no one was talking back, Li Hongmei grew bolder and turned her attention back to Chen Ruoyu.
