Chapter 19 Living in the Soldier's Yard

Xia Liang didn't expect that he would get paid for going into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs. It seems that the man's identity is not simple.

Otherwise, the village chief wouldn't be so cautious.

Wang Bin is the squad leader. If he is served by a squad leader himself, then Ning Zhiyuan is...

She didn't remember this in her previous life, or maybe she was in a bad mood at the time and her own affairs were a mess, so it was impossible for her to care about others.

She didn't know whether it was good or bad for her to be associated with that person. She hoped that they would never have any contact again.

"Xia Liang, can he really walk again in half a month?"

The village chief was still worried.

"It should be fine. I'll go see if I can find the medicine."

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. How about letting Xiaohong go with you? Even though this girl may not be good at work, she is very familiar with the nearby mountains."

Ning Zhiyuan just said that Wang Bin would accompany them, and now Xiaohong has joined them. However, three people are more suitable than two people to go into the mountains.

"OK."

"Sister Xia Liang, what kind of medicine do you need? What does it look like? I can definitely find it for you."

Yang Xiaohong patted his chest and assured.

"Then tomorrow it all depends on you."

Xia Liang looked at the innocent and cute little girl and liked her personality very much.

"Then it's settled. By the way, Xia Liang, since you are helping Ning Zhiyuan with his leg treatment, you don't have to go to work for half a month. Don't worry, the team will give you work points, but since you don't have as many work points as you do, how about giving you five points a day?"

The maximum work points a team could earn was ten points a day, which could only be earned through the full labor of the family. Women could only earn eight points at most, and Xia Liang used to be able to get seven points.

Xia Liang thought she would only get work points when she went to look for medicine? Unexpectedly, she would also get work points later. Of course, she was happy.

After all, I had already promised Ning Zhiyuan.

As for Xia Jing, she only got two points most of the time. Among all the educated youth, she got the least. But she didn't get these two points by herself. Half of them were Xia Liang's credit.

Such people are fine in ordinary farm families, with family members helping them to survive, but not so much for educated youths who go to the countryside.

The little food they were given was barely enough to fill their stomachs. It was only because Xia Liang got more that Xia Jing was able to eat at the educated youth camp. Otherwise, she would have starved to death long ago.

Thinking about the stupid things he had done over the past year, Xia Liang wanted to slap himself twice to wake himself up.

Fortunately, I won't do that again. Xia Liang, don't trust people so much. Because you never know whether you are trusting a person or a ghost.

"Uncle Yang, I'm fine. Oh, there's one more thing I want to trouble you with."

Xia Liang doesn't want to continue being sucked dry, she wants to completely get rid of these two trash Xia Jing and Zhou Hao.

"You say!"

Yang Aiguo is very optimistic about Xia Liang. The villagers don’t have so many tricks. Those who can work steadily are good people.

“I want to move out.”

Xia Liang sighed, "You've seen it too. My sister doesn't wish me well. Today, she was caught on camera, and she even wanted to frame me. How have I treated her this past year? If it weren't for her, I would have stopped living in the educated youth camp a long time ago."

Hearing Xia Liang's words, the village chief sighed:

"Hey, Xia Liang, it's good for you to move out. By the way, tell me what your conditions are, and I'll help you find a cleaner house."

Xia Liang just wanted to get away from those two people as soon as possible, but she didn't care about it. She said quickly, "I don't have any conditions."

"Hey, Sister Xia Liang, why are you looking for someone else? Just come and stay at my house. Look at my kang, it's wide. We can do somersaults on it. Besides, I'm so cute. Don't you want to see me every day?"

Yang Xiaohong even made a face. Xia Liang looked at her cute and naughty expression and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

In the past, there were people who wanted to stay at the village chief's house, but the village chief was not happy because he was afraid that the villagers would gossip.

"Dad, isn't this appropriate?"

Yang Xiaohong held Xia Liang's arm and narrowed her eyes dangerously.

"OK."

As the youngest in the family, Yang Xiaohong was extremely favored. Plus, Xia Liang was capable, so the village chief didn't say no.

Xia Liang didn't expect it to be so smooth. She suddenly thought of the man living in the side room.

I feel a little guilty!

Then she thought, she still had to help him treat his leg in the next half month, so even if she didn't live here, she had to see him every day.

Just let it go, no matter what, the man will probably guess it was her.

"Dad, you are so nice."

Yang Xiaohong went over and pulled the village chief's arm and acted coquettishly, and the village chief smiled helplessly.

It was getting late now, so the two decided to help Xia Liang move things after returning from the mountains tomorrow.

The next day, before dawn, the three of them set out.

Soon, the people at the educated youth site also got up. They cooked, washed up, and were about to go to work.

Seeing that Xia Liang hadn't come back yet, Li Xue curled her lips in disdain:

"Where's Xia Liang? Could it be that she thinks that she doesn't have to work anymore after marrying into the village chief's high position?"

"Who knows?"

Yang Hongmei also had a look of envy on her face, she also wanted to get close to him.

The educated youths had a simple breakfast of mixed-grain cakes and cornmeal. Because they had to work during the day, they ate more in the morning and at noon.

Xia Jing and her mother also got up to eat. After one night, the redness and swelling on Xia Jing's face had subsided a lot.

Mother Xia still looked disgusted:

"There's not even a drop of oil or water in it. Is this food for human consumption?"

"If you don't like it, don't eat it!"

Li Xue snatched the cake from Xia's mother's hand and swallowed it in two or three gulps.

"you……"

Xia's mother is fat and usually eats a lot. She could see that the porridge at the bottom of the bowl she had yesterday had been digested long ago. She woke up hungry several times in the middle of the night and could only drink water if she had nothing to eat.

I was looking forward to having something to fill my stomach in the morning, but all I got was a pancake.

She just complained a few words, but who could have thought that Li Xue would snatch it away and eat it without saying a word?

Mother Xia was immediately furious and raised her hand to hit someone, but Zhou Hao said:

"You're going to work soon?"

Yesterday he went to town and called his family to tell them about the situation. His mother said she would come over in the next two days. Zhou Hao was relieved.

He was really troubled by this unreasonable and foul-mouthed mother of the Xia family. If possible, he didn't want any of the daughters of the Xia family.

"You're leaning towards someone else?"

Mother Xia glared at Zhou Hao angrily. In her opinion, since this man slept with her young lady, he became her son-in-law.

"You have to go to work soon. If you are late, your work points will be deducted."

Zhou Hao said patiently.

"Okay, Mom, forget it."

Xia Jing's face still hurts when she talks. How many days will it take to fully recover?

"Where's my sister?"

After looking around, Xia Jing didn't see Xia Liang. She asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong with her?"

"Humph, that little bitch is very tough, what can happen to her?"

Mother Xia spat and said she didn't want to live in this poor place for another day.

"Aunt, Xia Liang is your daughter, right?"

Zhou Hao looked at her disapprovingly. Even though he didn't like Xia's mother, it was still too much to say that about her own daughter.

"Of course, I was tortured when I gave birth to her. I was in pain for more than a day before she was born. That little bitch was a curse on me in the womb."

"How can you be so quiet and sensible? You can't help but come out when you're taking a shit."

As Xia's mother spoke, she took a sip of porridge and smacked her lips as if she was still unsatisfied.
