Ji Xia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction Sun Xiaoyu pointed. Sure enough, she saw a familiar figure.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the voices of Chen Qiuyu and Lin Haodong.
"Get lost! I told you I don't need you. Get the hell away from me, you're disgusting—"
Chen Qiuyu's voice carried a hint of fear and anger. Ji Xia and Sun Xiaoyu heard it clearly and rushed over immediately.
The two rushed into the hillside and found Chen Qiuyu and Lin Haodong standing on the other side of the hillside.
Chen Qiuyu, not knowing what was going on, held her injured foot and waved her hands repeatedly at Lin Haodong, saying, "Don't touch me, get away from me."
Lin Haodong looked at Qiuyu with a doting expression: "Qiuyu, you're so old but you still have the temper of a child. If you don't treat your foot soon, it will cause problems later. I'll take you to the clinic!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. Chen Qiuyu was so frightened that he jumped back on one foot, screaming in a fierce but cowardly tone, "Get lost, Lin Haodong! If you dare touch me with your filthy hands, believe me, I'll stomp you with a machete!"
A hint of resentment rose in Lin Haodong's eyes. He had tried to persuade him with kind words several times, but he was still so impolite to him.
He wondered if he should just forcibly pick her up and carry her out.
Stepping forward, Lin Haodong said with a fake smile, "Qiuyu, you have too much prejudice against me. I really want to help you and get you to the clinic as soon as possible so that your foot can be treated quickly."
As he was about to step forward, he suddenly heard someone behind him sneer, "Easier said than done, Lin Haodong. Are you trying to save someone or kill them?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lin Haodong's expression changed several times before he finally turned around with a smile: "A-Xia, what are you saying? How could I not have saved someone?"
As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xia and the girl next to him with surprise. The girl had delicate features, fair skin, a slender figure, and was dressed in a fashionable and elegant manner. Standing next to Ji Xia, she was in no way inferior.
Needless to say, Ji Xia seemed to have grown even more beautiful after the annulment of the engagement. Her skin was as white as snow, her features were exquisite, and a brand-new, beautiful dress made her look radiant and dazzling.
Since breaking off her engagement with him, she seems to be doing better and better. Even the people she's dating seem to be quite extraordinary.
"Yes, of course I understand you. You're the kind of person who won't do anything without a reason. Why would you be so enthusiastic about taking someone to the clinic for no reason?"
Ji Xia and Sun Xiaoyu rushed over, coldly mocking Lin Haodong before asking with concern, "Qiuyu, what happened? What's wrong with your foot?"
"I accidentally stepped into a small hole and twisted my ankle," Chen Qiuyu said with a mournful face.
Lin Haodong explained helplessly, "It's not just a sprain; her ankle got caught in a trap, and it might break. I'm worried about her having long-term effects, so I rushed her to the clinic."
Chen Qiuyu turned around and glared fiercely at Lin Haodong: "I brought my companions with me. Qiu Li has already run back to call me 'Dad.' Who told you to pretend to be kind?"
"What fake kindness? I'm just worried that you'll become a cripple at such a young age. You're not appreciating my good intentions."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xia sneered repeatedly: "Lin Haodong, are you really that kind? You saved her today, and tomorrow your mother will be telling everyone that Qiu Yu is clinging to you, right? What are you planning to do?"
Lin Haodong was exposed by Ji Xia and immediately became furious and embarrassed: "Ji Xia, how can your thoughts be so filthy? How can you think of saving people in such a disgusting way?"
"Am I being disgusting, or are you being disgusting? When you men spread pornographic rumors about women, why don't you say your thoughts are disgusting?"
Ji Xia glared at him fiercely, and the other girls also looked disgusted.
Knowing he wouldn't gain any advantage today, Lin Haodong could only retort with dissatisfaction: "When a scholar encounters a soldier, reason is useless. I'm too lazy to talk to you barbarians."
He left in a hurry after speaking, his face full of regret. He reflected on himself, realizing he had been too hasty and should have tried to appease the person first.
After discussing it with his mother, Lin Haodong also felt that Chen Qiuyu was a good match.
But for some reason, ever since the last time they went to the brigade, everyone in the brigade has become much colder towards them, mother and son.
Lin Haodong deliberately arranged to bump into Chen Wanshui several times, trying his best to please him, but Chen Wanshui's family didn't even give him a second glance.
Chen Qiuyu had finally returned, and he was looking for an opportunity to bump into her and then use the same tricks he used to coax women to win her over.
He heard today that she went out towards the back mountain, and he was just thinking of creating a chance encounter when he saw Chen Qiuyu injured.
Lin Haodong was overjoyed; it seemed even Heaven was helping to bring them together.
Just as he was about to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, Chen Qiuyu refused to listen to him and wouldn't let him get close. Then Ji Xia arrived.
Lin Haodong hadn't gone far when he hid to the side and eavesdropped on a few girls gossiping.
Ji Xia asked, "Can you stand up? Let me help you try?"
Two girls, one on each side, straightened Chen Qiuyu up and carefully cleared away the stones and mud around her feet to gently free her feet.
I carefully took off my shoes and socks; my ankle was already red and swollen.
Ji Xia gasped, "Is it that serious? What happened to you? Why did you come here by yourself?"
"I came with Qiuli. I heard that there were a lot of mushrooms growing up ahead, so I came out to pick some because I wanted to eat them."
Chen Qiuyu said with a mournful face, "When I was injured, I asked her to go back and help me find someone. As soon as she left, Lin Haodong appeared. I suspect that he put this animal trap here to mess with me."
"Since we've already called for help, let's have someone carry her later; it's not easy for her to walk like this."
Sun Xiaoyu helped her sit down on a rock to the side, shaking her head inwardly: "What could possibly make you come out in this freezing weather? With a monthly salary of over a hundred yuan, you can buy whatever you want to eat."
Lin Haodong, who was eavesdropping, was shocked upon hearing this: A monthly salary of over a hundred yuan? What kind of job does she do? Such a high salary?
When the topic of wages came up, Chen Qiuyu asked in a low voice, "Sister Xia, Sister Xiaoyu, is the factory hiring again next year? Qiuli also wants to work in the factory; she can sew and make clothes and shoes."
Ji Xia glanced at Sun Xiaoyu: "The factory here in the commune probably won't be hiring. Why don't you ask Sister Xiaoyu? She's the production supervisor, so it's up to her whether or not they need people."
Sun Xiaoyu shook her head: "Not for now. Before the New Year, our production department recruited more than sixty people, which is enough for lathe operators. Moreover, the factory is located in the Jiangnan area, and the factory leaders have agreed to mainly recruit residents from that area. There are no quotas for people from other places!"
Chen Qiuyu couldn't help but sigh, giving up on pleading for him, and jokingly asked, "Sister Xiaoyu? You and Brother Ji are getting married soon, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoyu smiled shyly and said, "Soon."
Ji Xia smiled and said, "I've met the parents. Grandpa Sun and my parents will meet to discuss the marriage and choose a date. It should be soon."
"Congratulations, Sister Xiaoyu! Second Brother Ji is such a good man, Sister Xiaoyu will definitely be happy."
Chen Qiuyu offered his sincere blessings, and Sun Xiaoyu thanked him with a shy smile.
