Chapter 62 They were just incidental.
The main problem is that He Wei said it in front of so many people today. Even if she could use the puppet potion to make He Wei change his mind immediately, after the effects of the potion wear off, He Wei would definitely find it strange and would connect it with the strange behavior of Zhang Qiang and the others who took the initiative to confess their crimes.
Ning Xuan was very confident that Zhang Qiang and Zhang Youde would be sentenced before the effects of the drug wore off, so they wouldn't realize it.
But we can't just use this tactic on He Wei so easily now.
Not wanting to expose herself, Ning Xuan had more concerns. She planned to find out He Wei's background tonight so she could think of a solution.
Since it was already noon, He Wei didn't dare to give them that many work points for the day. He drafted an education plan and then sent Ning Xuan and the others back to continue working.
It just so happens that the tasks assigned to them today are consecutive, but even though they are close by, it's not convenient for them to discuss it now. So they just kept working at their original pace, tacitly agreeing to discuss their strategy after they finished work and went back home.
Seeing Ning Xuan and the others being reprimanded, everyone reacted in different ways.
Liang Qingqing and Zhao Yulian were quite worried.
Liu Jun and Huang Xiaomei were relieved that they hadn't gotten closer to Xu Jiajia and the others because they thought that since Zhang Qiang was gone, no one would target Xu Jiajia anymore.
He Qiaofang felt that Xu Jiajia and the others deserved it, and at the same time, she was certain that these people probably didn't have any powerful connections, otherwise, why would anyone dare to treat them like that?
Thinking about how Gu Yunze would occasionally glance in Xu Jiajia's direction, He Qiaofang wished she could personally teach Xu Jiajia a lesson.
However, she was too tired to work these past two days. Before, when Xu Jiajia and the others first started working, they could get 3 work points, but He Qiaofang could only get 1.5 work points. The scorekeeper was furious when he saw how He Qiaofang worked.
Other educated youth also had their worries, but they were even more worried about whether they would be the ones to be reprimanded. So they became much more serious about their work and no longer dared to slack off so frequently, even though they used to do so from time to time.
In the minds of most of the team members in this area, the feeling was that the educated youth should indeed work harder, and many people had long been disgusted by the listless and lethargic appearance of the educated youth.
Ning Xuan and the others ignored everyone's reactions, silently worked until the end of the workday, and then went back to cook.
Everyone is quite tired when they start work, so they don't take shifts during this time. After work, one person takes turns to take a shower, and then the others work together to cook and wash vegetables.
This way it will be more efficient. Once everyone has washed up and the food is ready, we can all eat together in a clean and refreshing manner.
This gave them time to discuss what had happened that day.
Lu Xun spoke first, "Zhipeng and I should be able to get 10 work points a day without any problem. If we work faster, we can help you two later."
Zhou Zhipeng immediately nodded, "That's right, Jiajia, don't worry, I'll make up for the work points you didn't have."
"But won't this be too tiring for you?" Xu Jiajia asked worriedly.
Ning Xuan frowned. "Besides, you might be able to handle it for a day or two, but there's a lot of work to do in spring planting. Your bodies can't take it if you do so much work every day. We still need to find a way to solve the problem at its root."
"Ning Xuan, do you have a solution?" Lu Xun asked.
"There's no solution yet, but I have an idea." Ning Xuan's idea was to deal with the person who created the problem, but it wasn't easy to say it directly, so she didn't say it.
"I'll first ask someone to find out more about He Wei, and then I'll figure out a way to resolve the issue of the mandatory work points requirement for us."
"I'll let you know once I find out what's going on. Let's get to work for the next couple of days. I'm strong, so getting all 10 work points shouldn't be a problem. Jiajia, just go at your normal pace, no need to rush. We'll definitely finish the work."
“But…” Xu Jiajia had heard that Ning Xuan was strong, but she still didn’t quite believe that a girl could be that strong.
Knowing that Xu Jiajia was worried about her, Ning Xuan didn't waste any words. She walked into the yard and easily lifted a large bundle of wood with one hand.
Then she casually pulled out a very thick piece of wood, without even frowning or seeing Ning Xuan exert any force, and just broke the wood apart with her bare hands.
All three people, including Lu Xun who had already seen it once, were surprised by Ning Xuan's actions.
"Now you can rest assured. That kind of work is a piece of cake for me. I just didn't want to show my strength before so as not to attract attention."
"Then Ningxuan, you guys don't need to help with the housework these next few days. I might be a bit of a hindrance, so I'll take care of all the housework myself. Don't try to take it from me." Xu Jiajia now believed that Ningxuan was really strong, but she couldn't feel at ease letting everyone put in so much effort, so she thought she would make up for it in other ways.
Everyone knew what Xu Jiajia was thinking, so they didn't refuse her.
Everyone was tired from working during the day and went to bed early. After everyone was asleep, Ning Xuan took out the puppet to sleep in her place.
Then she took out an invisibility talisman and used it on herself. She also put a drop of True Flavor Potion on herself so that she could find He Wei based on her contact with him today.
This was actually Ning Xuan's first time using the True Flavor Potion, and the effect was surprisingly good. Ning Xuan could smell many different scents all at once, and she couldn't get used to it for a while.
Fortunately, she remembered Katerina's reminder that after using the True Taste Potion, if she wanted to search for a certain taste, she should first calm down and concentrate her mind to imagine and feel that taste.
Following her memory of He Wei's scent when she approached him earlier that day, Ning Xuan went to the spot where He Wei had stood. Soon, the various scents on her nose began to fade, leaving only He Wei's scent.
"He's definitely not a good person. He smells awful," Ning Xuan complained.
But there was no other way; time was too tight, and she hadn't found out where He Wei lived yet, so she had to use this method to find him for now.
Despite feeling uncomfortable with He Wei's smell and not wanting to waste the speed-enhancing talisman, Ning Xuan took out her electric scooter again and rode it to the commune in no time.
When they got close to the county town, Ning Xuan put away her electric scooter and started walking.
With the help of the True Flavor Potion, Ning Xuan quickly found He Wei.
Fortunately, this time she wasn't forced to watch anything inappropriate for children. Ning Xuan skillfully used a stun talisman and a basic truth potion on He Wei.
The effects of the basic truth potion last for 2 hours, which should be enough time for her to find out more about He Wei.
As usual, Ning Xuan turned on the recorder before starting to question He Wei.
The more Ning Xuan listened, the more her brows furrowed. It turned out that dealing with those few was just a side effect; He Wei's transfer to Xiangyang Commune actually had a more important mission.
