Chapter 71: Domestic Violence in the Era 26
In the next few days, Zhong Wenyue ordered a bed from the brigade, bought some cloth, and partitioned off her own small room.
They were just waiting to officially move in after the New Year. The people at the educated youth camp knew about it and were sarcastic on New Year's Day. One female educated youth even asked Lin Xia if she was still renting a house. When she heard that the rent was 3 yuan, she backed off.
This New Year was not a very lively one. Only Zhong Wenyue came to visit. Everyone in the group was somewhat taboo about Sun Changjian's death, and children who came to ask for candy were told not to come.
For this reason, Lin Xia was happy to have some peace and quiet.
Zhong Wenyue soon moved in to keep Lin Xia company. Since she came, the quality of the food at home has improved significantly.
Her eldest brother is a navy man and can always send some seafood to the family. Zhong Wenyue didn't allow him to do so before, but now that she eats with Lin Xia and the others, she can finally have their own special meal. Because of this, Sun's mother wanted to return the extra three yuan for cooking to Zhong Wenyue, but was stopped by Lin Xia. She basically added wild animals to the family once every three days, which just offset the deficit.
Time passed in an orderly manner and it was May. Lin Xia worked as a barefoot doctor with peace of mind and studied high school knowledge in her spare time. She was a liberal arts student in her first life, there was no way, she was always sick, and she could not keep up with the science if she didn't pay attention. In fact, she was quite good at science.
It has been such a long time since I started high school, so it is not easy to pick up the high school knowledge. However, there is still a lot of time, and reviewing two years in advance is better than ordinary people.
While Lin Xia was reading, Zhong Wenyue ran over.
"Sister Lin, can you please get me some antipyretic medicine?" Zhong Wenyue said anxiously.
Lin Xia stepped forward and touched Zhong Wenyue's forehead, "You don't have a fever."
"It's not me. I asked those kids to help me cut grass for the pigs. The leader, Goudan, had a fever and there was no medicine for him at home, so I thought of buying it for him."
Medical treatment here in Linxia is very cheap. Regular medical treatment is free and medicine is generally five cents. Some people would rather endure it. Everyone catches a cold once or twice a year, so they're used to it.
She prescribed some medicine for Zhong Wenyue, who paid and left. No one expected that these five cents helped her so much.
After Zhong Wenyue moved out, she found herself a job cutting grass for pigs, earning four or five work points a day. She did one work point herself and outsourced the rest to the children in the team. Only one candy was required for a basket, and the children were fighting over the candies. Finally, Goudan came out to preside over the division of labor, and then became familiar with Zhong Wenyue.
Zhong Wenyue seldom interacts with the educated youth now, and has completely cut off contact with Guo Wenzhong. After all, if she doesn't take the initiative to contact him for a month, they won't meet each other, so naturally there is no story to tell. She is alone on a daily basis, or plays with children. Her social circle has successfully narrowed to children aged five or six.
The third day after buying the medicine.
"Aunt Lin, it's bad, the educated youth Xiao Zhong fell into the water." Goudan ran over quickly.
When Lin Xia heard this, she disappeared into the house in the blink of an eye, with the puppy in her hand.
"Where?" Lin Xia asked while running.
Goudan pointed to the river not far outside the brigade. Thanks to the fact that the brigade headquarters was not far away, Lin Xia reached the battlefield in two minutes.
Glancing carefully, he saw several members surrounding them, not only from Shunxing Brigade, but also from Wangjiacun Brigade. Lin Xia recognized that one of them was Wang Yaozu.
Before she could think about it, Zhong Wenyue's struggle in the middle of the river weakened, and a man swam towards her from a few meters away.
With his mind racing, Lin Xia leaped into the water and quickly approached Zhong Wenyue.
"Hey, why is this little girl so aggressive? Isn't there someone trying to rescue her?" The people on the shore didn't react in time to see another figure in the river.
Catch her immediately.
The rescuer's face was shining with excitement, their plan was about to succeed.
Reach out...
The smile on his face froze instantly.
"Who the hell are you?"
There was a woman in front of him, who hugged his target in her arms and left quickly.
The man went forward to catch it angrily, but found that he could not catch up. The newcomer was such a good swimmer that he could swim very fast even with the burden dragging him.
Lin Xia pulled Zhong Wenyue ashore and quickly found the target, an old man wearing two pieces of clothes. Before the other party could react, he was left with only a vest on.
"Let me borrow your coat. I'll return it to you later."
The old man exposed his arms, but he didn't care and just responded with a smile.
Lin Xia put clothes on Zhong Wenyue who kept coughing. Her clothes were white and were somewhat transparent after falling into water.
"Sister, cough cough, sister." Zhong Wenyue cried aggrievedly in Lin Xia's arms.
He said sullenly, "Someone definitely pushed me just now."
"Then did you see who it was?" Lin Xia asked softly, so that only Zhong Wenyue could hear her.
"No, I was too panicked just now. The person ran away after pushing the cart. It seemed to be a person in gray clothes."
Nine out of ten people in the team are wearing gray clothes, which means there is no information.
But Lin Xia already had some idea.
"Okay, let's go home first and talk about it in detail when we get back."
As a result, before they left, the man who rescued people in the river finally came ashore.
"Do you understand the principle of first come first served? I have already saved the person, why are you here to snatch him away?" The young man was full of hostility and glared at Lin Xia in frustration.
"We are not blind. We all know whether the person was rescued or not." Lin Xia looked at him coldly.
"Yes, young man, we can't tell what you are thinking. You were indeed one step slower than Xiaolin just now." The onlookers from Shunxing Brigade echoed.
The others usually had some minor problems, but they would not lie with their eyes open, so they all scolded that person.
However, there are always some people who like to stir up trouble and enjoy the fun.
"I think it was the young man who rescued the girl first. She might have been touched all over by him." She was very sarcastic. The old woman didn't like women who looked like vixen the most.
"Yes! I was hugging her underwater." The man who rescued her looked suddenly enlightened.
Zhong Wenyue couldn't hold it in any longer and pointed at the man: "You're lying, I'm not fainted, do you think I'm a fool?"
"You have to prepare before you tell a lie, right? Both of your hands are paddling on the water. Do you have a third hand?" Lin Xia calmly pried Zhong Wenyue's hand off.
"Yes, young man, everyone is watching, and it's clear. It's really outrageous. You want to destroy the girl's reputation right away. It's not decent. And that old woman just casually puts accusations on people. I think the cowshed should be where you should go."
An auntie retorted in a loud voice. She was young and good-looking, and had been slandered by the old woman who had just spoken, and she hated her the most.
Later, those who did not see the whole process were discussing something in whispers, glancing at Zhong Wenyue from time to time.
They didn't say anything unpleasant to his face. The closest team here is Shunxing Team, and they have a lot of people, so of course they have to protect the people in their own team. Then they criticized the man who rescued people.
The man who rescued people wanted to say something but was stopped by Wang Yaozu and others. He just glared at Lin Xia with a vicious look.
Lin Xia pretended not to see it and took Zhong Wenyue to say goodbye to the increasing number of onlookers. In front of everyone, she thanked the old man who lent her the clothes, asked for his address, and said she would bring it over after washing.
Then he signaled Goudan to follow with his eyes.
After returning to the Sun family, Lin Xia asked about the whole story.
