For several consecutive days, Su Jin was busy in the outpatient clinic. Several family members saw Lu Shiyi getting out of bed by himself and gossiped about Su Jin in private.
These three sisters-in-law were all gossipy, and Lin Zitao arranged for them to live in a yard near the edge of the farm.
They couldn't stand Su Jin's lavish spending. Even though Su Jin spent the money on her family, they thought she could have been more frugal.
"I just looked at the records, and Su Jin can still get 10 work points. My aunt and sister-in-law Yunfeng have been busy working in the fields, so it's understandable that they got 10 work points, but what's wrong with her?" When Sister-in-law Song returned the farm tools, she saw the register recording work points. Behind Su Jin's name, there were 10 work points for several days.
"Let's go ask the political commissar." The three sisters-in-law lived very close to each other, and they often gossiped together.
The environment of the farm cannot be compared with that of the family compound, and no one agreed with what the few people said.
The three of them went to the place where the farm tools were returned angrily. Many family members and team members were waiting to have the tools returned.
"Three sisters-in-law, why are you here? I remember you just returned the farm tools?" Lin Zitao looked at the three of them and asked.
Mrs. Song was pushed out by the other two people, and she had no choice but to look at them.
"Political Commissar, we've all been working hard in the fields, but Su Jin hasn't been to work, yet you gave her 10 work points. That's not fair." Mrs. Song questioned loudly, "Is this because of Minister Lu's favor, or is there something special about her?"
After the words were spoken, many sisters-in-law were stunned. Some team members went back and told their wives the truth, while some team members did not tell them, thinking that it was useless to tell their wives.
Song Zhuang was one of them. After Mrs. Song questioned loudly, a team member immediately ran to the field to call him over.
"That's right!" Some sisters-in-law who didn't know what was going on were aroused and stood up to support Sister-in-law Song.
"Teacher Su is working in the outpatient clinic, using acupuncture needles as anesthesia and taking care of the team members," Lin Zitao explained. "Captain Wu and I immediately held a meeting with the team members, and everyone unanimously requested that Teacher Su be awarded 10 work points."
Lin Zitao explained in public, and many military wives praised Su Jin after hearing it.
Sister-in-law Song and the other two sisters-in-law were stunned. They had mentioned before that Su Jin never went out and never bought anything. He told others that he was making ointment for the team members. They didn't believe it at first.
Lin Zitao said it in public, proving that Su Jin was contributing to the hospital at home.
"Don't talk nonsense anymore." Lu Shiyi looked at his sisters-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law Song, please stop talking nonsense. My wife is busy too. It's not as relaxing as spring plowing."
Lu Shiyi saw Su Jin having acupuncture in the clinic. After the acupuncture, she felt completely exhausted.
When the three of them noticed Lu Shiyi appearing beside Lin Zitao, they didn't dare to say anything more.
"You didn't explain clearly. We worked so hard on the spring plowing, but each family member only got 8 work points." Mrs. Song and the other two complained.
Some of the family members were jealous of Su Jin. They had never seen Su Jin's medical skills with their own eyes and thought that the clinic was giving Lu Shiyi face.
Many family members came from the countryside, and when they heard that Su Jin knew Chinese medicine, their jealousy disappeared.
Su Jin has reached a height that they cannot reach, and all jealousy will disappear.
"Return the farm tools first. After dinner, everyone will gather in the threshing ground for a meeting. I will let the military doctors explain it in person." Lu Shiyi carefully observed the actions of the family members and asked the doctor to explain directly.
Su Jin was still busy in the clinic and had no time to worry about the rumors outside.
"Minister Lu, we were just saying this, why are you making such a big deal out of it?" Mrs. Song hurriedly explained, "I said this because I didn't know."
While the two were arguing, Mrs. Guan, who had a close relationship with Su Jin, left the team and hurried to the outpatient clinic.
Su Jin had just finished acupuncture and saw Mrs. Guan standing outside the door. She said something to the doctors and hurried out of the ward.
"Teacher Su, Mrs. Song and the other three are denouncing the Lu Ministry, saying that you did not do any spring plowing but recorded full work points every day." Mrs. Guan said anxiously.
"Sister-in-law, wait for me here." Su Jin hurriedly told Sister-in-law Guan, "I'll pack my things and go with you."
When Su Jin returned to the ward, several doctors came over and asked if there was anything wrong.
"People outside are talking about my work points." Su Jin didn't hide much.
Several military doctors discussed with Wang Boya and followed Su Jin to the threshing ground to provide testimony for her.
The group came to the threshing ground. The family members saw the leading doctor Wu coming over and quieted down to listen to what Doctor Wu said.
Doctor Wu has been working in the outpatient clinic of the family compound, and everyone is familiar with him.
"Everyone gather together. I'm Wu Junyi. I'm here today to inform you that Teacher Su has been helping out in the outpatient clinic. The clinic is short of anesthetics. With Teacher Su's help, the team members can change the dressings more comfortably." Military Doctor Wu said, standing in front of everyone.
"Doctor Wu, we didn't know the situation before, but now that we know it, we definitely won't tell anyone." The family members expressed their opinions one after another.
"Why didn't you tell me before? Why did you have to wait until people started to question you before explaining?" Mrs. Huang came out from behind Mrs. Song and questioned Doctor Wu why he didn't tell her in advance.
Doctor Wu stared at Mrs. Huang for a long time and pointed at the team members who had used hemostatic ointment and frostbite medicine before.
"Teacher Su has been working at the school and not in the outpatient clinic. We respect Teacher Su's opinion." After Doctor Wu's explanation, the family members all smiled and said that they were not clear about the situation at the time and were deceived by the bad guys.
Su Jin stood beside Lu Shiyi and watched Mrs. Song and the other two being ostracized by everyone without saying anything.
"Teacher Su, you are not teaching at school now, why don't you go to work in the clinic?" If Su Jin worked in the clinic, he would also be specially recruited into the army to be a military doctor.
Su Jin shook her head: "I just want to take good care of Hanhan and wait until he grows up."
During the Spring Festival, human traffickers appeared in several brigades at the foot of the mountain, and several children in the village went missing. Fortunately, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, so those people were unable to enter the mountain, and the children in the mountain were able to have a happy Spring Festival.
After everyone listened to the military doctor's explanation, Wu Jun and Lin Zitao mentioned the news of the missing children at the foot of the mountain.
The family members became alert because the children were going to school in a few days and they were worried that they would encounter kidnappers when going to and from school.
"Captain Wu, you must ensure the safety of the children. Did you call the police if a child was lost at the foot of the mountain?" Several military wives asked hurriedly.
Yunfeng made arrangements in advance, and Lin Yan and Lin Lei no longer had to go to school. The other sisters-in-law initially said that Yunfeng was making a fuss, but now they think Yunfeng is foresighted.
"We called the police. According to them, it was too late to find the child, so it would be difficult to recover him," Wu Jun said truthfully. "The villagers even approached the armed forces for help."
Su Jin stood aside and listened to Wu Jun say which village several people were from. She found that only one child from the fourth team was missing.
"The children of the Fourth Brigade are aware of the need to guard against danger and will never leave with strangers. One of the children who went missing was lost when he went to his grandmother's house." Lin Zitao explained the situation of the missing children.
The family members were aware that the heavy snow blocked the mountain, so at least their children did not suffer any harm.
