After returning home, she first handed over all the things she had bought to Jiang Yongmei.
"Use this salt sparingly, and don't use too much of this soap when washing clothes."
Jiang Yongmei nodded with a smile.
"You've put your heart into this, Nian Nian."
Su Qingzhi waved her hand, turned around and went into her room.
She closed the door, and when everything quieted down, she opened the space within her body.
She began to rummage through the inventory, carefully counting each item.
After much thought, she picked out a few suitable items and planned to ask Xie Rui to help her sell them in the city in a couple of days.
After doing all that, she took out several small porcelain bottles containing spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.
She stared at the bottle for a while, lost in thought.
Thinking to myself: I need to find a suitable opportunity to let Xie Rui's mother drink it secretly.
After all, his physical condition was poor, so he couldn't be too hasty and had to recover slowly.
The next morning, Su Qingzhi went to class as usual.
After class in the afternoon, she felt a little bored by herself.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go check on Xie Rui's mother.
On the way, she suddenly saw a familiar figure ahead.
Liu Yuelan was walking alone on the ridge of the field.
Su Qingzhi glanced at it, but didn't think much of it and continued riding forward.
Chen Xinghua and her family lived in Guanshigou, so it was perfectly normal for Liu Yuelan to visit her mother.
She rode her bike past Liu Yuelan with a whoosh.
Liu Yuelan's heart sank suddenly.
Watching Su Qingzhi's departing figure, his eyes gradually darkened.
What made her grit her teeth even more was that brand-new bicycle.
Shen Cunpu was really generous to Su Qingzhi.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her fists clenched unconsciously.
No, we can't just let this go.
When I get back tonight, I must bring it up with Fang Mingyu again; he absolutely has to get me a bicycle.
Meanwhile, Su Qingzhi has successfully arrived at Guanshigou.
She parked her car at the village entrance and immediately recognized several familiar faces in the crowd.
"Uncle Guan!"
She called out loudly and walked towards the village chief.
When Village Chief Guan heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was her. He immediately beamed with joy.
"Oh my! Isn't this Miss Su?!"
"Is the young lady visiting relatives again?"
His tone was warm and friendly, without any sense of distance.
Su Qingzhi nodded with a smile: "Yes, Uncle, I came to see Aunt Xie. Do you know which plot of land they are working on?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Guan immediately raised his hand and pointed southeast.
"It's right there, at the foot of the mountain, they're busy weeding."
Su Qingzhi looked in the direction he was pointing.
The Xie family father and sons were weeding in front, Hu Meili was picking up stones with her daughter behind, Li Hong was sitting on the edge of the field in a daze, and Chen Xinghua was leading her two sons to turn the soil.
This scene is practically like a massive collective labor campaign.
She thanked him.
"Uncle, I'll leave the car here and walk over."
Village Chief Guan waved his hand repeatedly: "Okay, put it under the tree. Nobody will touch it. Our village has strict rules."
Xie Rui was squatting in the field, pulling weeds with his younger siblings.
Suddenly he heard footsteps and instinctively looked up.
He didn't know her, but he felt that she had a different air about her than the other villagers.
Hu Meili had a sharp eye and recognized Su Qingzhi as soon as she saw her.
He quickly tugged at Xie Rui's sleeve and whispered a reminder: "That's Company Commander Shen's wife."
Xie Rui's body stiffened slightly.
When Li Hong looked up and saw Su Qingzhi, he immediately shrank back.
He remembered clearly that this girl had kicked him last time.
Chen Xinghua also stopped what she was doing, straightened up, and looked Su Qingzhi up and down.
Seeing this, the two sons also stopped and looked over with curious expressions.
Chen Xinghua recalled Liu Yuelan's cold warning over the phone.
She could only keep her head down and work silently, not daring to let her eyes wander.
On the contrary, the brothers Liu Chunhe and Liu Chunsheng's faces lit up.
"Sister Su Qingzhi!"
Hearing the shout, Su Qingzhi gave the two brothers a faint smile.
Then, she turned her gaze to Chen Xinghua, who was standing to the side.
“Auntie, didn’t Chunlan invite you to live in the family compound? The rooms there are spacious and warmer than this cave dwelling.”
These words sound like expressions of concern, but in reality, they are a deliberate test.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinghua's face instantly froze, and she forced a dry laugh as she explained.
"Oh dear, Chunlan just got married, and the young couple is enjoying their sweet time together. How could we possibly disturb their life? Besides, the place over there is small; if too many people stay there, it will just feel cramped."
"oh……"
Su Qingzhi drew out her words, the last syllable rising slightly, carrying a hint of a half-smile.
"I thought she didn't want to acknowledge you as her mother anymore. After all... now that she's a cadre's wife, maybe she looks down on her poor relatives back home."
She smiled gently.
"Alright then, you guys go ahead with your work. I'm just passing by, taking a stroll and getting some fresh air."
She turned and walked towards the field ridge where Xie Rui was.
As she passed by Xie Rui, she kept her voice very low.
"Xie Rui, someone asked me to come and check on your mother."
Xie Rui immediately stood up, patted the dirt off his trousers, and strode quickly toward the village chief's house.
When he arrived at the village chief's house, he stopped and took a breath.
"Village Chief Guan, I'd like to ask for a leave of absence to go home and see my mother. Just half a day, one day at most, I promise I won't interfere with the work in the team."
Village Chief Guan looked up and sized him up.
"Okay, go ahead. Your mother hasn't been feeling well, you should go back and check on her. Be careful on the road, and don't come back too late."
Xie Rui thanked him repeatedly, then turned and ran away.
