Zhong Misu lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the back room of the educated youth compound, and he could hear the broadcast clearly.

Su Qiaoqiao broke her leg and sought emergency treatment from Su Ruyi.

At this time, everyone in the educated youth compound except for Li Wang in the west room had gone to work.

Zhong Misu gave a wry smile.

This must be divine retribution; he was all too familiar with it.

I wanted to make sure I was blind and had mistaken him for someone else, and also to teach him a deeper lesson.

Perhaps Su Ruyi was right; she really would be her calamity in this life.

However, he was unwilling to simply leave her life.

They were destined to be lovers for seven lifetimes.

But Su Qiaoqiao, with her coquettish expression...

Over the past few days, she has become deeply etched in his heart...

While Zhong Misu sighed, Su Ruyi had already entered the space and was making the most of every minute to study today's medical books.

But after finishing my studies today, no patients came to knock on the door.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard Wang Youhe's loud, almost shrill voice coming from the village loudspeaker: "Dr. Su Ruyi from the village clinic, please put down your work and come to the fields immediately. The female educated youth, Su Qiaoqiao, has cut her leg with a sickle and needs emergency treatment!"

Su Ruyi flashed out of the space, immediately went around to the treatment room in the front yard, and carried the first aid kit on her back.

At that moment, she glanced at the treatment bed out of the corner of her eye and realized that Zhong Misu was gone.

Without thinking twice, she rushed out.

Lying on the ground, Su Qiaoqiao's face contorted in pain, saw Su Ruyi and burst into tears as if she had seen a savior: "Su Ruyi, I should have listened to you, I shouldn't have been so stubborn! Quick! Help me!"

Su Ruyi sighed, first pricking acupoints to stop the bleeding, then opening the wound and pouring a whole bottle of iodine on it.

Su Qiaoqiao groaned in pain.

The wound was deep, and the bone was damaged.

"He needs to be taken to the county hospital immediately for a tetanus shot," Su Ruyi concluded after examining the wound without bandaging it.

Metal cuts, especially deep and narrow ones, are the perfect breeding ground for tetanus bacteria.

"Su Qiaoqiao, you really know how to make things difficult for people!"

Wang Youhe spat, "We'll have to send a strong laborer to take you to the county town!"

Even as she said this, she immediately got up to find the driver.

"Don't bandage the wound. I've disinfected it. Remember, don't bandage it!"

Su Ruyi instructed Su Qiaoqiao, "These two needles in your leg will be removed at the hospital. They're for pain relief and stopping the bleeding, remember?"

“I’ll remember…” Su Qiaoqiao’s eyes were filled with tears. “Dr. Su, how long will it take for my leg to heal? I have to pick up my grandfather on the 10th of next month! He wants to come see me!”

“Your leg isn’t broken, but your muscles and tendons are damaged. I estimate… you should be able to come back after a few days in the hospital, but you won’t be able to work for at least a week,” Su Ru replied after a moment’s thought.

"Wow!" An older woman nearby rolled her eyes. "They're so lucky, they managed to escape the harvesting rush!"

Su Qiaoqiao was furious: "If you also want to escape, I can help you cut your leg too!"

Seeing her fierce expression, the older woman pursed her lips and remained silent.

The driver finally arrived with the oxcart.

Su Ruyi and Wang Youhe lifted Su Qiaoqiao into the car, and Wang Youhe plopped down in as well: "Let's go, let's go to the brigade headquarters to get some money first! What a nuisance!"

Su Ruyi watched the oxcart disappear into the distance.

However, the busy day was not over yet.

After work, Yu Min arrived late, driving his little Hongqi car with two little followers.

Ding Youliang, who had drunk too much at noon, had been sleeping all afternoon.

He was pulled up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and shakily opened the door of the brigade headquarters: "The case is very simple—two educated youths had an affair, and the woman got pregnant. Later, they had a falling out, and the woman said that the man had raped her, so the man ran away in fear!"

Ding Youliang himself had witnessed Jiang Aiguo and Guo Tianya crawling through the haystack.

Therefore, he didn't believe a single word of Guo Tianya's claim that Jiang Aiguo had raped her.

He naturally assumed that the outcome of this matter would be that Jiang Aiguo would be found, apologize to Guo Tianya, and then the two would get married in a flash.

He was already thinking about where the two of them would live after they got married—these educated youth were always causing him trouble!

However, when he followed Yu Min to the front and back yards of the educated youth compound, he was stunned.

Wang Chuntao, Ai Shengnan, and Shu Lan, three female educated youths, all stood up and solemnly declared that they had witnessed Jiang Aiguo raping Guo Tianya.

When the three women were questioned separately, the details they gave were exactly the same.

Ding Youliang remained silent for a while, then swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Although Guo Tianya was in tears, what she said was exactly the same as that of the three female educated youths.

This confirms Jiang Aiguo's reputation as a traitor and criminal.

It's certainly not a good thing that one of the educated youth in the village has become a criminal like this, and the performance evaluation of Qingshan Team 1 this year will inevitably be affected.

But Ding Youliang was helpless; the female educated youth, united in their hatred of the enemy, had already beaten Jiang Aiguo to the ground.

Now, the only solution is to find this kid and hand him over to the county public security bureau.

Ding Youliang sighed repeatedly.

This time, Yu Min didn't go looking for Jin Dachun, but instead took Guo Tianya with her.

Because Guo Tianya was throwing a tantrum and insisting on having an abortion, all he could do was respect her wishes.

Wang Chuntao and Ai Shengnan almost came to blows over who should go to the county hospital to take care of Guo Tianya during her surgery.

After all, it's not so easy to legitimately avoid the rush to harvest.

In the end, the two decided to draw lots, and Wang Chuntao won.

Suppressing her excitement, she packed her things and followed Yu Min back in her car.

There were six people in the car. Yu Min's two little followers sat on top of each other in the passenger seat, grimacing the whole way.

Before leaving, Yu Min made a special trip to Su Ruyi to tell her that there was still no clue about the disappearance of Ding Daguo's family of nine, but after discussion, the bureau believed that they had been fed to wild beasts in the back mountain.

Yu Min also solemnly instructed her not to let her guard down and to call him immediately if there were any unusual movements in the village.

Su Ruyi nodded in agreement.

After seeing Yu Min off, Su Ruyi went to the educated youth compound again to change Zhong Misu's dressing.

Hu Zhenbo, being very perceptive, assisted from the side.

Su Ruyi and Zhong Misu did not say a word to each other.

Zhong Misu's eyes followed Su Ruyi's face pitifully.

But Su Ruyi completely ignored him.

Hu Zhenbo saw this but remained silent.

Su Ruyi worked quickly, changing the medicine in no time, and then turned and left.

From beginning to end, Zhong Misu never received a single glance from Su Ruyi.

The long day has finally come to an end.

Su Ruyi watched as the light in Jin Dachun's room went out before sighing, turning off the light, and then slipping into her spatial dimension.

Throughout the entire day, she sensed unusual activity in the space!
