Chapter 47 She will get her revenge on us
Even if that person has the documents translated by Song Hongjiao, it can only be used for a short time. Soon the information will run out and the truth will be revealed.
Du Ruoxia smiled instantly at this thought. That was good. She was just afraid that the other party would be able to handle the job, in which case Song Hongjiao would have no choice but to suffer in silence.
"Just wait a little longer, I believe we'll hear news soon, and things will take a turn for the better," Du Ruoxia comforted her.
She's made up her mind. Even if there's no chance of a turnaround, she'll make it happen, because it concerns her interests!
Song Hongjiao shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "No, we can't afford to offend them. Brother Mingwen worked so hard to get to this position."
Du Ruoxia pursed her lips; it was hard to say.
“If they come looking for you, remember to tell me, I have a way!” Du Ruoxia said confidently.
Du Ruoxia had an idea that very day.
It was already dark and Yang Zeyan hadn't returned. Du Ruoxia didn't know how to cook, so she had to go to the newly opened canteen in the family compound.
She didn't know the location of the canteen yet, so she called out to Song Hongjiao, wanting to go with her. However, when the two walked together, they attracted the attention of other people in the compound.
"You shouldn't have invited me; they don't usually play with me," Song Hongjiao explained apologetically to Du Ruoxia.
Du Ruoxia looked at the families accompanying the military, some of whom had children, and stared at Song Hongjiao as if she were something dirty.
She felt a pang of sympathy instantly; she had endured so many cold shoulders.
“You must believe that our motherland is progressing. These shortcomings are not problems abroad and can be eliminated!” Du Ruoxia said firmly.
Song Hongjiao looked at Du Ruoxia gratefully, "Thank you, only you and Brother Mingwen don't look down on me!"
In the 1970s, Song Hongjiao's birthmark was considered unlucky, and people usually kept their distance from her. She was well aware of this and kept her distance from others.
"Don't worry about what they think, just focus on doing your best! There will be a way!" Du Ruoxia comforted her.
Song Hongjiao is currently pregnant and not suitable for surgery; she will discuss this with her another time.
"Song Hongjiao, your belly isn't showing yet, how many months pregnant are you?" Du Ruoxia asked with concern.
Song Hongjiao touched her belly and said shyly, "It's probably because it's my first pregnancy, I'm four months along and I'm not showing."
"Comrade Du, I heard you're a doctor in the county town?" Song Hongjiao asked Du Ruoxia with concern.
Du Ruoxia smiled and said, "Yes, but I feel that sitting in the county hospital is quite boring. I was just thinking of finding something else to do."
Song Hongjiao was not very old either, and the two often talked. Du Ruoxia was no longer bored. She even learned a lot about current events through Song Hongjiao's introduction.
For example, Du Ruoxia only found out what Yang Zeyan was busy with when the military was busy with something.
Yang Zeyan and his unit are not ordinary troops; they have come here with very important missions and have been on many missions.
"Shh, my brother Mingwen said that they're risking their lives every time they go out!" Song Hongjiao whispered to Du Ruoxia.
Du Ruoxia nodded. She recalled how she met Yang Zeyan. If she hadn't met him back then, she would most likely be dead.
After hearing Song Hongjiao's words, Du Ruoxia was very uneasy when she got home, her heart filled with worry for Yang Zeyan's safety.
Du Ruoxia waited for Yang Zeyan to return, but a phone call came in saying he was out on another mission. Just as Du Ruoxia was about to lock the door, she was greeted by the girl who was trying to steal Song Hongjiao's job.
Unlike in rural areas, outsiders cannot enter the residential compound without prior notice.
Song Hongjiao's house was right across from Du Ruoxia's, so Du Ruoxia didn't rush to close the door but instead observed the situation.
When the girl knocked on Song Hongjiao's door, Du Ruoxia peeked out to check. As soon as she saw the girl's clothes, she became suspicious.
She had a bag hanging from her hand, which looked expensive. She wore a red dress with a cinched waist and wavy hair, a very trendy style right now. She had fair skin, but her figure was slightly plump, with a prominent bust.
Du Ruoxia suddenly felt that her figure was nothing special, and wondered why their breasts were so prominent.
The woman lowered her hand movements only after seeing Du Ruoxia looking at her.
Song Hongjiao was surprised when she opened the door, and then her expression changed to one of great displeasure.
"What are you doing here? How did you get in?"
Upon hearing this, Du Ruoxia immediately realized that this was the person who had taken Song Hongjiao's job.
"Sister Hongjiao, what's the matter?" Du Ruoxia asked.
"It's nothing major. The curator just told you to go back and hand over your work. There are still some things you haven't done, so he asked me to come and inform you," the woman said arrogantly, stroking her hair over her shoulder.
Song Hongjiao already had a problem with this woman, and upon hearing this, she became even angrier.
"When you asked me to leave, you were practically kicking me out the door. I had already handed over all my work to you," Song Hongjiao said, sounding somewhat agitated.
Du Ruoxia quickly went over to pat her on the back to help her catch her breath, then turned to look at the woman next to her.
"Hello, I'm Song Hongjiao's neighbor. You must be her former colleague?"
“Song Hongjiao has been gone from the Library Administration Bureau for more than half a month. It’s too late to talk about handing over now.”
Du Ruoxia spoke calmly, showing no weakness despite the other party's overbearing attitude.
"Of course we have to go back and take care of her matter if it's not resolved properly, otherwise she can forget about getting her salary from last month!"
"Moreover, she still has a lot of materials that haven't been translated properly, and the museum will hold her accountable if she doesn't finish them!"
The woman showed no weakness and continued to make threatening remarks, which broke Song Hongjiao's defenses.
Du Ruoxia was truly impressed by this kind of person—all looks and no brains, completely clueless about the situation.
"Heh, if you dare not post this, we'll report you all the way to Kyoto," Du Ruoxia sneered.
Upon hearing Du Ruoxia's words, the woman immediately dropped her pretense and glared angrily at Du Ruoxia with wide eyes.
"What business is it of yours if I'm talking to Song Hongjiao? You country bumpkin, get out of my way!"
Du Ruoxia narrowed her eyes; this was testing the limits of her patience!
"Say that again if you dare?" Du Ruoxia stared at the woman with dangerous eyes.
Perhaps frightened by Du Ruoxia's eyes, she took a step back in fear.
"You're a country bumpkin, so what? You're not allowed to say anything? Look at the clothes you're wearing, they're hideous!"
"Stay away from me, you stink!" the girl said, shoving Du Ruoxia.
Having lived two lives, Du Ruoxia had never been treated like this before. She walked directly behind the woman and kicked her.
"Ah!" A pig-like scream echoed through the corridor.
The doors of the neighbors on the left and right soon opened, and they all cast strange glances at them.
The woman was kneeling on the ground, her bag had fallen to the ground, and she looked extremely pained.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts!"
"My dad won't let you get away with this!"
The woman was still spouting nonsense, and the neighbors just watched without daring to come out. They already disliked Song Hongjiao, and now they were even more eager to see the show.
Du Ruoxia watched her hysterical outburst with her arms crossed, as if she were looking at a fool.
"You wait, I won't let you get away with this!" the woman said, getting up.
Du Ruoxia found it amusing; did she really think this was her home?
As soon as the woman left, the neighbors quickly closed their doors again.
"Du Ruoxia, what should we do? Zhou Mengrou will retaliate against us," Song Hongjiao said worriedly.
Du Ruoxia smiled back, "Zhou Mengrou? Her name doesn't do her justice. Even if her family is powerful, we're not afraid of her. We haven't done anything wrong."
