CHAPTER 113: CHAPTER 113 HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT WITHOUT SHAME

Hua’an Agricultural Reclamation Group

Qiao Wenyu gazed at the distant mountains and nudged the person beside him with his arm. "Xuewen, my mouth has been so bland these past few days. How about we take tomorrow off, go up the mountain, and get some meat to satisfy our cravings?"

Zheng Xuewen didn’t look at him, swinging the hoe in his hand. "Aren’t you afraid your little uncle will punish you?"

Qiao Wenyu said carelessly, "As long as he doesn’t find out, we’ll be fine. Just give me a straight answer, are you going or not?"

Zheng Xuewen thrust his hoe into the ground. "Go, go, go, alright then."

Qiao Wenyu glanced not too far away. "When the time comes, we’ll also call Zijia. If we really catch some game, we can just roast it on the mountain and eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ye Wenjuan push Wei Zijia, causing Wei Zijia to lose her balance and fall right into the potato field.

Seething with anger, he dropped his hoe and ran over. "Ye Wenjuan, what’s gotten into you?"

Ye Wenjuan looked sheepish as Qiao Wenyu rushed over to back up Wei Zijia. "I didn’t do it on purpose."

"You claim it wasn’t on purpose, yet you still managed to push her down? How dare you say that?"

Ye Wenjuan, seeing everyone looking over, called out to Ye Wenhui not far away, "Cousin, explain for me."

Ye Wenhui rolled her eyes at her disdainfully. She’s just trying to drag me down with her. If she’s having a hard time, she wants me to suffer too? I won’t let her get her way! "I don’t know what happened between you two. Besides, you did push her. What is there for me to explain?"

Ye Wenjuan hadn’t expected Ye Wenhui to show no regard for their sisterly affection and deliberately whined, "Cousin."

Ye Wenhui didn’t want to watch her act. "Alright, we’re talking about you pushing someone right now. Don’t drag me into it. Besides, I’m not a man; your damsel-in-distress act doesn’t work on me."

Ye Wenjuan initially wanted to drag Ye Wenhui into this mess. Even if Young Master Qiao Wenyu didn’t like her, she couldn’t let him develop any good feelings for Ye Wenhui.

But Ye Wenhui didn’t fall for her tricks and directly rebuffed her.

So, Ye Wenjuan tried to act pitiful to gain sympathy, hoping to make everyone think Ye Wenhui was heartless, but she didn’t expect Ye Wenhui to expose her outright.

Having failed to achieve her goal and not wanting everyone to point fingers at her, Ye Wenjuan had a sudden idea. "You’re all ganging up on me!"

After saying that, she ran off, covering her face.

This left the people working in the field stunned and speechless for quite a while.

Qiao Wenyu had just helped Wei Zijia, who had fallen to the ground, stand up and was about to help her get even when the culprit ran away.

Yunyi saw that the bupleurum in the medicine cabinet was almost gone. I should tell the Branch Secretary at noon, she thought. I plan to go up the mountain every few days to gather herbs. That way, the village clinic won’t run short of medicinal materials, and I can also enrich my space. Killing two birds with one stone!

But before she could find the Branch Secretary, the Brigade Leader found her first. "Chu Zhiqing."

"Brigade Leader, do you need something?"

"Yes, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

"Please, go ahead."

"It’s like this: Doctor Gong will be discharged in a few days, but after returning to the brigade, he’ll need to rest for over three months. Lin Fang won’t be able to return temporarily either. We village cadres have discussed this. To make it more convenient for the brigade members to see a doctor, and for your own convenience, we’re planning for you to move into the village health clinic."

Yunyi was not pleased to hear she would have to live there. "Brigade Leader, you said before that I’m only temporarily filling in for them. Once they return to work, I’ll go back to working in the fields. Moving back and forth is too much trouble."

"Besides, we all live in the same village, and it’s not very far. It isn’t really an issue of convenience. Even if something urgent happens at night, people can just walk a little further to call me. It wouldn’t cause much delay, don’t you think?"

The Brigade Leader hadn’t expected Chuyunyi to be so stubborn. He couldn’t force her to move, however, as this was merely his personal idea, one he hadn’t discussed with the other cadres.

Hearing Yunyi’s words, the Brigade Leader’s face darkened. "Chu Zhiqing, you’d best comply with the brigade’s arrangements."

Yunyi was puzzled. Why does the Brigade Leader insist on me living at the health clinic?

But she was not one to submit easily. "Brigade Leader, I invested money to repair that house and decorated it to my liking. Besides, I really like that little courtyard."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be late or leave early and compromise my work."
