When Jiang Ci woke up again, the back of her hand still hurt a little.
What catches the eye are some old wooden beams.
It was not her clean and elegant ceiling, nor was it her soft and comfortable big bed, nor was it the cozy villa she decorated herself.
Jiang Ci sighed from the depths of her soul.
"Awake?" an unpleasant voice sounded.
Jiang Ci turned her head and saw an aunt in a dark short-sleeved shirt, "Aunt Lian."
Aunt Lian is the captain's wife.
"Look at you, you're fine..." Aunt Lian thought of something and changed the subject before she finished speaking. "Since you're already married and have two children, can't you just live a peaceful life? Xia Lei and Liu Yinyin are living a prosperous life, and look at you!"
"What a beautiful girl she was when she first came to the countryside. She fought over a man, and what kind of man did she end up marrying?"
"Get back to normal! Taking good care of yourself and your child is the most important thing!"
Aunt Lian was disappointed in Jiang Ci and gave her another harsh scolding.
What could Jiang Ci do? She could only swallow her pride and accept it, then change the subject, "What happened to me?"
Aunt Lian looked at her indifferent expression and wondered if she had actually listened to her.
"Li Hu hit you and caused bleeding on the back of your head. The educated youth in the infirmary said you were suffering from... malnutrition and excessive blood loss, which is why you fainted."
After Jiang Ci finished her IV drip, the educated youth at the medical station said, "Two bottles of medicine, and these medicines, cost a total of two yuan and thirty cents."
At this point, the educated youth added, "By the way, you still have many injuries. Do you want to take some medicine back to treat them?"
When Aunt Lian heard this, she didn't understand what was going on with Jiang Ci. She looked at Jiang Ci and whispered, "What a sin."
Aunt Lian said to Jiang Ci with a serious face, "If you have any injuries, you need to see a doctor immediately. If you delay, you will never be able to recover in the future!"
Jiang Ci thought the same way. She didn't know when she could go back, and taking good care of herself was the most important thing.
Jiang Ci hummed softly and said, "Including the ointment, how much is the total?"
"Three yuan and fifty cents."
Jiang Ci reached into her pocket.
One meal.
Jiang Ci looked at the educated youth at the medical station.
The educated youth at the medical station also looked at her.
Silence is today's medical station.
Jiang Ci, who has lived for 27 years since birth, has never worried about money.
Her ancestors never lacked money, and Jiang Ci grew up in a wealthy family, so she would never lack money to spend.
But now…
Let alone three yuan and fifty cents, Jiangci couldn't afford a single penny.
After seeing this, what else is there for Aunt Lian to not understand?
She touched her clothes and muttered to Jiang Ci with a hint of resentment, "You have to pay me back, or I'll go to your house and make a scene!"
Pulling out a few loose coins, the educated youth at the medical station finally gave the medicine to Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci took the medicine and smiled at Aunt Lian, very grateful. "Thank you, I will return the money to you in a moment."
Aunt Lian glanced at her in surprise, not expecting Jiang Ci to speak so softly.
"Pay it back when you have the money."
Pay was based on work points, and Jiang Ci had no money, so he could only wait for his pay to be issued.
Jiang Ci nodded slowly, and after a long while, she said, "My head was damaged by Li Hu, right?"
Aunt Lian didn't understand what she meant, but soon she knew what she wanted to do.
After leaving the medical station, Jiang Ci bid farewell to Aunt Lian, but did not go home. The work points earned by the original owner, as well as the money, grain coupons, cloth coupons, and the like, were all in the hands of the original owner's man. The original owner had no money.
She didn't know where the abuser had hidden the money, and she had to think of another way to return Aunt Lian's money.
Educated youth settlement.
Li Hu and the other educated youth sat together and talked.
"I didn't expect Liu Yinyin's letter of introduction to still be in the pile of letters. Hey, Li Hu, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Did Jiang Ci actually not go to get Liu Yinyin's letter of introduction at all?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hu slammed his fist on the table. "I saw wrong? How could I possibly be wrong! Jiang Ci is taking Yin Yin's letter of introduction!"
“But Liu Yinyin’s letter of introduction is buried in that pile of letters. Before Jiang Ci fainted, she said she came to ask the brigade leader about her man…” A young educated youth who didn’t get along with Li Hu deliberately said, “Could it be that you’re deliberately slandering her because you have a grudge against Jiang Ci and Liu Yinyin?”
"Were you there or was I there at the time!" Li Hu roared. "Hasn't Jiang Ci framed Yin Yin enough times? You believe that vicious woman but not me? Would I slander Jiang Ci for Yin Yin's future?"
After hearing Li Hu's words, the educated youth looked at each other for a while.
What Li Hu said is also true.
Jiang Ci has done a lot of bad things.
A few years ago, in order to arrange her marriage to Xia Lei, Jiang Ci tricked Liu Yinyin into going to the village's notorious hooligan, attempting to ruin Liu Yinyin's reputation.
Such people really shouldn't be trusted.
Li Hu snorted coldly, "Besides, what did that Zhou guy do to Jiang Ci? Jiang Ci wouldn't be upset if Zhou didn't come home for a month, right? Why would she take the initiative to look for him?"
"Only the captain and you guys would believe such a lame lie. I don't believe what she says."
“But you really have no evidence to prove that Jiang Cizhen took Liu Yinyin’s letter of introduction,” someone said.
Li Hu was so angry he almost fell backward, his heart filled with unbearable hatred for Jiang Ci.
Next time, he'll definitely catch Jiang Ci red-handed and see how she tries to deny it!
...
Jiang Ci walked silently all the way and arrived at the educated youth site relying on his memory.
After finding the house where Li Hu lived, Jiang Ci took a deep breath and shouted, "Li Hu, come out!"
