Marrying a Handsome Educated Youth in the 1970s

Chapter 231 Rumor-mongering, he broke his legs to refute the rumors.

"But, Qingqing, what is the mental damage compensation you are talking about? I have never heard of it," Liu Huimin asked in confusion.

Xia Qingqing smiled. It seemed that there was no such thing as mental damage fee at this time.

"As the name suggests, the rumors she spread have caused mental damage to me. I need to pay compensation for physical damage, and of course I need to pay compensation for mental damage."

Liu Huimin nodded in sudden realization: "It makes sense. Sometimes the physical damage can be smoothed over, but the mental damage may be remembered for a lifetime."

...

Liu Guizhi returned to the dormitory with a sad face and became angry when she saw Xue Mengyu lying leisurely on the bed reading a book.

He asked unhappily: "Mengyu, why did you just leave me and run away alone?"

Xue Mengyu's hand holding the book froze, and her face revealed a hint of worry: "Guizhi, you're back. I'm sorry. I just had a sudden stomachache and was in a hurry to go to the toilet. Classmate Xia and the others didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

The next second she added: "I just knew that they would never dare to attack you in public, so I left first, otherwise I would never leave you there alone."

Liu Guizhi was able to get into college anyway, and she was not a big fool. How could she believe Xue Mengyu's words? But what if she didn't believe it? There was nothing she could do against Xue Mengyu.

If she dares to make Xue Mengyu angry, her parents will cut off her living expenses next month, and the school's subsidy will not be enough for her.

Fortunately, Liu Guizhi's anger came and went quickly. She had long been accustomed to Xue Mengyu's behavior. It was advantageous to rush ahead and run faster than anyone else when encountering problems.

Liu Guizhi told Xia Qingqing what she wanted to do, frowned and asked Xue Mengyu what to do now?

"Guizhi, how about you do as she says? Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't let you go," Xue Mengyu said with some embarrassment.

She didn't expect that Xia Qingqing would be so adamant and come to him directly. She was also involved in this matter. She must not let the matter get bigger and let Liu Guizhi take the blame alone.

Liu Guizhi said with a face full of reluctance: "But she asked me to pay 10 yuan, how could I have so much money to compensate her?"

For Liu Guizhi, clarifying rumors and writing a letter of apology are small things, but losing money is a big deal.

It's not that she really can't afford the 10 yuan, it's just that she can't bear it. If the money is given out, she will drink the northwest wind this month.

Xue Mengyu thought for a while and said softly: "Let's do this. I'll lend you 5 yuan first, and then pay me back when you have money."

"Thank you Mengyu. As expected, you are still kind to me." Liu Guizhi agreed immediately. Whether it was lending or giving, the money was in his own hands anyway. As for repaying the money, we can talk about it later.

Xue Mengyu kept her word and took out 5 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Liu Guizhi.

The next day, Liu Guizhi gave the written apology letter to Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing took it and looked at it carefully. The apology letter was not sincere, but at least it clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter. It was barely passed. Anyway, she didn't expect Liu Guizhi to really change her past.

She stretched out her hand toward Liu Guizhi and said, "Classmate Liu, where is the compensation for my mental loss?"

"I have already apologized to you, can you please stop arguing with me? Look at the fact that you only spend 60 yuan to buy a coat, so you are definitely not someone who needs these 10 yuan, but these 10 yuan are what I need for a month. Living expenses." Liu Guizhi looked at Xia Qingqing helplessly, trying to get her to waive the 10 yuan mental damage fee.

Xia Qingqing smiled and said: "Whether I have money or not is my business. You ruined my reputation, but I only asked you to pay 10 yuan, which is already very kind."

Liu Guizhi rolled her eyes when she heard this. Kind? Was there any mistake?

Among the ladies and daughters-in-law in their compound, there is no one who doesn't gossip. I have never heard of anyone being compensated for gossiping.

If she wasn't afraid that Xia Qingqing would complain to the school leaders, how could she write an apology letter and lose money at the same time.

"Can't it be a little less? Do you think I can give you 5 yuan?" Liu Guizhi continued to bargain.

Xia Qingqing laughed angrily at her: "You think this is buying groceries, right? It's okay if you don't want to pay, then I'll go directly to the leader."

Seeing that Xia Qingqing was really planning to leave, Liu Guizhi quickly stopped her and said, "No, no, no, no, I'll give you money."

Liu Guizhi reluctantly took out 10 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Xia Qingqing, saying in a resentful tone: "Is this going downhill?".

"Remember to clarify the rumors in the class. If I hear bad rumors again, you know the consequences." Xia Qingqing left these words in a cold voice and left with her roommates.

Liu Huimin felt that Xia Qingqing let Liu Guizhi off too easily, and at least she had to make her apologize in front of the whole class.

Xia Qingqing did not adopt this suggestion. She didn't like to be in the limelight. Besides, some people in the class may not have paid attention to this matter. So asking Liu Guizhi to apologize in front of the whole class would not only add heat to the matter again.

Smart people will never believe such so-called rumors. As for those who do, no matter how you explain it, they will think you are making excuses.

"It seems right, but I'm still angry. Why is the cost of spreading rumors so small? It would be great if the people who spread rumors could be sent to jail," Liu Huimin said with some dissatisfaction.

Xiang Qiu agreed very much, and she was deeply affected by it. She started spreading rumors and then broke her legs to refute them.

"We must believe that there will come a time when those who spread rumors will pay the due price for their actions," Xia Qingqing said firmly.

This made the three of them couldn't help but believe what she said: "I'm really looking forward to that day."

"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things. I'll treat you to a state-owned restaurant for dinner," Xia Qingqing suggested.

Liu Guizhi's roommates also helped her a lot with this matter, and Liu Huimin was even more considerate than her. She wanted to treat some of her roommates to dinner as a thank you.

Xiang Qiu disagreed: "State-owned hotels are so expensive. If you really want to treat us to dinner, you can just eat in the canteen."

"Yes, the same goes for eating in the cafeteria."

Everyone knew that Xia Qingqing wanted to treat them to dinner because she wanted to thank them, but everyone wanted to save money for Xia Qingqing.

Of course Xia Qingqing didn't agree to eat in the canteen. She was tired of eating in the canteen every day.

"Oh, isn't this just a compensation? The main reason is that I want to eat at a state-owned restaurant. Will you eat with me?"

She said so, and her roommates did not refuse. After class at noon, they went straight to the state-owned restaurant for a big meal.

Liu Guizhi didn't know that Xia Qingqing took her compensation money and took her roommates to a state-owned restaurant. She was trying to clarify the rumors about Xia Qingqing.

After spending countless words, most people finally believed that this was a misunderstanding. Except for a few students who always felt that flies could not bite seamless eggs, it was definitely Xia Qingqing who had done something to cause such rumors to spread.
