Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1365: Free Food ( 1 )

He frowned deeper and said, "Comrade, you should be careful with your words. Comrade Pan is married, and I don't have any relationship with her, let alone harbor any feelings. Please don't slander us and ruin our reputations."

Due to his loud voice, the people around them finally realized that they were arguing.

Seeing that more and more people were looking at them, the female educated youth wanted to stop the conversation and said, "Hmph! I won't bother to argue with you!"

The male educated youth was unhappy with her attitude and unwilling to let the matter rest.

He glared at her and demanded, "Comrade, you were the one in the wrong—talking badly about Comrade Pan and spreading rumors about me and her."

"Now you want to brush off this matter without even apologizing. Are you treating us as people who are easily bullied?" he asked.

When the villagers heard his words, one of them, who had heard the female educated youth's comments earlier, chimed in, "What educated youth? She is clearly arrogant and looks down on us!"

Hearing her words, another villager asked curiously "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

The middle-aged woman snorted and said, "I heard that comrade say that Meijia learned bad habits after marrying a villager. Even if we are uneducated, we are hardworking and honest people. What bad habits do we have?"

As soon as she said this, the surrounding villagers became offended.

A young man pointed at the female educated youth and asked, "Comrade, are you saying that we villagers have bad habits? If you look down on us, why are you even staying here? Go back to your city and be your young lady!"

The moment the female educated youth heard this, she panicked and retorted, "Who said I looked down on you? Everyone, this is a misunderstanding!"

She was sent here by the government to learn from the farmers. If she was reported for looking down on them or acting like a privileged young lady, she would be punished—or worse, sent to a labor camp.

She couldn't afford to carry that kind of stain on her record, which could also implicate her entire family. So, she could only lower her head and apologize.

"Everyone, if my words offended you, please be the bigger person and forgive me," she said, a hint of pleading in her voice.

She thought that after she apologized, everyone would let the matter go. Unexpectedly, the male educated youth poured oil on the fire.

"Comrade, do you mean that if we don't forgive you, we are petty people? Is that how you apologize? Where is your sincerity?" he asked.

At first, the villagers hadn't noticed anything wrong with her apology. But after hearing his words, they finally caught the hidden implication.

Wasn't she forcing them to forgive her whether they wanted to or not?

Instead of feeling appeased, they became even angrier.

While the villagers were cursing and scolding the female educated youth, Pan Meijia pulled out a small pouch from her pocket and took out a handful of melon seeds.

She shared the melon seeds with her sister-in-law and said, "That girl is really blind. Everyone knows that Xu Wei has a sharp tongue and is vengeful. She can provoke anyone, just never him."

Lu Jueyu cracked her melon seeds and asked, "Second sister-in-law, do you know him?"

"We haven't interacted much, just shared some ideas and solutions for solving math problems several times before. But I heard that he kept his distance from women after he was drugged and almost violated by a woman years ago," Pan Meijia replied in a low voice.

Thinking of something, she looked at her sister-in-law and added in a low voice, "Third sister-in-law, it was thanks to the note you gave me. After reading it, I was able to solve questions that had stumped me before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped me speak up today."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "That's only a small portion of the knowledge you learn in school. I just used different ways to solve the problems."

Pan Meijia shook her head and said, "Your method is more straightforward and clear. It saves me a lot of time. If I use your method during a test, it could really help me finish the test without worrying about the time limit."

"If you come across questions you can't solve, feel free to find me. I will help if I can," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Pan Meijia nodded and agreed readily, "Okay!"

At the same time, the commotion between Xu Wei and the female educated youth alarmed the production team staff.

It just so happened that An Xuyuan was on his way to check the registration progress and learned about the situation.

Standing in front of the crowd, he asked, "What is going on here?"

Seeing him, Xu Wei pointed at the female educated youth and said, "Vice team leader, this comrade slandered me by saying I harbored feelings toward Comrade Pan and had an intimate relationship with her."

"Everyone knows that Comrade Pan is already married. If people misunderstood her words, wouldn't we both be punished for having an extramarital affair?" Xu Wei added.

When he said this, the female educated youth retorted, "Comrade, you are lying! I didn't say that!"

"Bah! I heard you clearly. You did say that. You even said Comrade Pan picked up bad habits after marrying a villager. You clearly look down on us farmers!" the middle-aged woman said, pointing at her nose.

"Aunty, be careful with your words! When did I—"

Before the female educated youth could finish, Xu Wei interrupted her, "You did! Everyone heard your words! Do you think we are all fools or deaf?"

As soon as he said this, the villagers chimed in—one louder than the next—making everyone's heads ache from the noise.

While the production team staff members were feeling dizzy from the commotion, An Xuyuan listened carefully and finally understood the situation.
