Ning Xiyue's deterrence was very effective. After those people went back, they spread the word that she was ferocious and not like a woman, and was more cruel and terrifying than a man.
Ning Xiyue smiled with satisfaction after learning about the rumor from Li Xiuxiu. This rumor was very much to her liking, and she could even be described as a Yaksha.
Thanks to their rumors, no one dared to get close to Ning Xiyue anymore, and the surroundings became quiet.
But how could someone who was obsessed with the university admission quota give up easily? It wouldn't work for Ning Xiyue, because the other nine people and the cadres in the team all had votes.
As long as these are taken care of, Ning Xiyue won't be a big deal. Therefore, Ning Xiyue's place is quiet while others are bustling with people sending gifts and presents one after another.
The captain saw it but ignored it. He walked around outside and went home with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that no one stopped them, the others became even bolder and sent the things to Aunt Yang Liu. The team leader looked at the things and asked Aunt Yang Liu to put them away first and talk about it after the vote.
Chen Yechu's master, Chen Mujiang, also has a vote. Chen Mujiang is old and doesn't want to get involved in these things. His family members want to keep things quiet and don't want to take over. Chen Yechu, as an apprentice, stepped forward to take over and participate in place of Chen Mujiang.
There are still people who know such secret information.
At noon on the day before the vote, Chen Yetu told Ning Xiyue that she had her master's vote. No one knew about this, but she suspected that Wu Zhigang knew it.
"After I came back today, he came to see me secretly, but he didn't mention anything else, not even a word about voting."
Chen Yechu took a sip of water and continued:
"He came to tell me about his story of not being able to return home and not being able to recognize his mother. He told me about the situation of everyone in his family. In short, his family is very miserable and poor. Especially recently, he received a letter saying that his biological mother is sick and has no one to rely on. He wants to go back to take care of her but can't."
"Do you think he found out about my master's vote from somewhere and asked me to come to me and cry for sympathy?" Chen Yetu looked at Ning Xiyue and asked seriously.
"Well, it's possible. I didn't realize Wu Zhigang knew how to use the "torture trick." Ning Xiyue nodded in agreement and smiled at Chen Yechu, "But it obviously didn't work on you. You didn't find the right trick, did you?"
"Ha, it's useless. Just because he was Ning Xiaoxiao's former bootlicker, I won't vote for him. I still remember the fierceness that flashed across his eyes during the fight at the reservoir. I saw it clearly."
When he said this, the smile on Chen Yechu's face gradually faded. He remembered something he learned from Ning Xiaoxiao in his previous life. The more he thought about it, the more solemn his expression became.
He leaned close to Ning Xiyue's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Xiyue, don't you think Wu Zhigang is a little bit hypocritical? The cruelty in his eyes is not something that ordinary young people possess. I'm afraid he is..."
Ning Xiyue also became cautious. Chen Yechu's expression clearly showed that he was remembering some things from his previous life. So there must be something wrong with this Wu Zhigang. Maybe he was that guy.
Looking back now, Wu Zhigang's behavior towards Ning Xiaoxiao didn't seem to be fond of her. It was just superficial. After the series of things that happened to Ning Xiaoxiao, he didn't seem to be sad or upset at all.
Ning Xiyue didn't say anything. She took out a pen and paper and wrote, "Don't provoke him yet. We must be careful. If he comes to you again, just pretend to be touched. It's more reliable to find a professional to solve this kind of thing."
Chen Yechu took the pen and wrote something. The two communicated with each other through pen and paper: "Well, I know. I will be careful. I think it is 80% correct."
After finishing the topic, the two of them disposed of the papers in the notebook.
In the afternoon, Ning Xiyue left the clinic to Li Xiuxiu and went to the mountain to collect herbs with a backpack on her back, but in fact she went to the mountain to find help.
Just as we reached the halfway point of the first Daqi Mountain, we met Ji Yanming and her elder brother.
"Sister, why are you here, picking herbs?"
Ning Qingzhi saw that his sister was very happy and pulled her to look around for several times. "Just in time, we were planning to look for you, sister. I have good news and a reward for you."
Ji Yanming's eyes also fell on Ning Xiyue, with the corners of his eyes raised. He hadn't seen her for a long time and seemed to miss her even more.
Ning Xiyue forcibly stopped her brother's pleasantries and looked at them seriously: "Listen to me first, I have something important to tell you."
"You say." Ji Yanming took it seriously and listened attentively.
Ning Xiyue told Ji Yanming and Ning Qingzhi about her and Chen Yechu's speculation.
The two of them looked serious and looked at each other.
Ji Yanming looked at Ning Xiyue and said carefully, "Don't worry about this matter. Leave it to us and just pretend you know nothing."
Ning Qingzhi grabbed Ning Xiyue's arm and nodded seriously: "Sister, you must listen to us. Don't worry about it. Safety is the most important thing."
"Okay, don't worry, I don't care, I don't know anything." Ning Xiyue promised her brother and Comrade Ji who were worried about her.
Ning Qingzhi and Ji Yanming finally relaxed.
Ning Xiyue turned around and asked happily, "Brother, what is the reward you mentioned? Let me see it quickly."
Ning Qingzhi excitedly shouted to Ji Yanming, "Old Ji, take out the things."
Ji Yanming had a smile on his face and obediently took out two thick envelopes from his pocket.
"Here's five hundred dollars. Two hundred dollars is the reward for discovering the cave, and three hundred dollars is the reward for discovering the coal mine."
Ning Qingzhi took something out of his pocket again: "I have a letter of commendation and a certificate here, they are all yours."
"Wow." Ning Xiyue's eyes lit up when she saw the thick envelope in Comrade Ji's hand. After taking the money and the reward, she didn't forget to ask on behalf of her second brother, "What about the reward for second brother? Did you give it to him?"
Ning Qingzhi snorted slightly, "Your second brother's is indispensable, just like you."
Ning Xiyue touched the money and certificate and smiled foolishly: "Hehe, that's good, that's good."
Ji Yanming smiled calmly. He could see that the little girl loved her family as well as money, so he had a place to work hard.
"Xiyue, the organization has responded to the matter I discussed with you. You are welcome to become a non-staff member of our team. In addition, our leader would like to meet with you to discuss the medicine in detail. When you are free, I will take you to meet him."
Ning Xiyue was overjoyed when she heard that this matter had been finalized:
"Really? Then I can go and talk tomorrow morning after I vote for the team's worker, peasant, and soldier quota. I've made a lot of medicines for your daily needs recently, and I'll give them to you tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll take you down the mountain."
The two men sent Ning Xiyue to the entrance of the mountain and stood in the woods, watching her leave with serious expressions.
"Old Ji, it's time to close the net."
"Um."
…
The next day, when Ning Xiyue participated in the voting, she learned an important news.
Chen Yechu, who had just walked in, leaned close to Ning Xiyue and whispered in her ear, "Xiyue, Wu Zhigang has been arrested, along with Li Yang."
"What?"
