Xu Yinlai's family didn't quite believe it.
However, seeing Xu Ningyan's resolute expression, he began to waver again. After all, if he really lost his job because of that "five black categories" element, it wasn't just a possibility, it was a certainty.
Shen Yue'e seemed to realize something, and her eyes became flustered.
Xu Yinlai retorted habitually, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why would your grandma and the others spread this rumor for no reason? It must be because you were careless and someone caught you doing something wrong, so they're trying to pin the blame on your grandma and the others! I know you too well; you're full of lies! You just don't want to give up your job, do you?"
Xu Ningyan laughed: "Why not? If you don't believe me, go ask around the whole brigade! They said that you and your husband saw me eloping with Brother Gu in the county town and injured him. This news even came from the county town—"
Xu Yinlai also remembered something, his face turned pale, and he exchanged a glance with Shen Yue'e.
He involuntarily took a step back, stammering, "I...I don't believe it! I'll go ask the captain! If you're lying, see what I'll do to you—"
After saying that, he pulled Shen Yue'e and her two sons to leave.
But Gu Zhiyuan stopped them. His expression was indifferent, his eyes revealing undisguised disdain: "Remember, you've severed ties! Now, Aning's only relative is me! You'd better think carefully. If you keep bothering Aning, I, a 'black five categories' element, will be associated with you! If anyone asks about my family relationships again, your Xu family will be relatives of 'black five categories' elements—"
Xu Yinlai and his family turned pale.
This guy has no sportsmanship!
At that time, if anyone had connections with the "Five Black Categories," it was as if the sky was falling!
Work is important, but if they get involved with the "Five Black Categories," they might lose not only the job they haven't gotten yet, but even their current job.
Shuddering, Xu Yinlai and his family immediately understood what was going on and ran away without looking back.
Xu Ningyan looked at Gu Zhiyuan with admiration.
As expected of a master, his mind is truly impressive.
He's figured out the true nature of the "Five Black Categories" that everyone fears and hates, and now he can use them to scare people.
What's that saying again? Right, the strong never complain about their environment!
Seeing Xu Yinlai's family scrambling around in a panic, as if they were afraid of being associated with the "Five Black Categories" if they were too slow, Xu Ningyan found it both amusing and pitiful for the original owner of the body, Xu Siya.
However, with Gu Zhiyuan's words, it's likely that Xu Yinlai and his family will never come again, which would solve the problem once and for all and save them from trouble.
Xu Ningyan, who was in a great mood, looked down at Gu Zhiyuan's hand and her mood soured again. She grabbed his hand tightly and said, "Let's go back and take a look at your wound."
They dragged Gu Zhiyuan back to the courtyard.
Gu Zhiyuan was originally going to refuse, so what kind of injury was this?
However, judging from Xu Ningyan's demeanor, he swallowed his refusal.
Well, the little girl feels guilty, let her do what she wants, it'll make her feel better.
Watching Xu Ningyan take out iodine and cotton swabs from the house and squat down to disinfect his wound, from his angle, he could see that Xu Ningyan had a cowlick on the top of his head, which looked rather cute.
He resisted the urge to ruffle her hair from behind and made conversation: "How did you get this?"
Xu Ningyan felt a sudden unease; something was wrong!
In my haste, I forgot about that.
Isn't this what's left over after disinfecting the henchman's wound? There wasn't much left, so it's been left out.
However, she reacted quickly; since she had her head down, Gu Zhiyuan couldn't see her expression.
The hand holding the cotton swabs didn't even tremble. "Last time in the county town, I asked the nurses at the nurses' station for some before I left."
Fortunately, the packaging of this iodine solution has remained unchanged for many years, and she had already torn off the label, so it wasn't noticeable at first glance.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't think much of it, but his gaze softened a bit.
This girl must have been terrified by her injuries back then.
So even though I was practically kicked out of the hospital, I didn't forget to ask the nurse for iodine solution to have in hand.
This little girl is so sensible it breaks my heart.
Unable to suppress her pity, she gently patted Xu Ningyan's head and said in a soft voice, "Don't worry, I'll try my best to avoid getting hurt in the future!"
Xu Ningyan blinked; something about what the big boss said seemed off.
However, she was very pleased that the big shot could say such a thing!
Those who have powerful connections need to take good care of themselves. If they get hurt, it will be a loss for their subordinates!
So he raised his head and smiled: "Brother Gu, remember what I said today, you must take good care of yourself! Don't get hurt again!"
Her smile was so bright that Gu Zhiyuan's vision blurred.
After disinfecting the wound, Xu Ningyan put away the iodine. "Brother Gu, you stay home and rest. I'm going to Aunt Xie's house. I'll be back in a bit. Let's cook something delicious for dinner tonight!"
As soon as they stepped out of the yard, the lackey appeared out of nowhere, covered in grass clippings, and wagged his tail at Xu Ningyan.
Xu Ningyan patted the lackey's head: "Come with me—"
The man and the dog went to Aunt Xie's house.
Gu Zhiyuan sat under the camphor tree, watching, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
Xu Ningyan met many people along the way.
Everyone knew that Xu Yinlai and his family had returned, so they stormed off to the small house on the hillside, only to slink back home in disgrace.
Everyone's smart enough to have heard the rumors circulating in the brigade these past few days.
Everyone guessed that Xu Yinlai's family knew that Siya had a job and wanted to come back to work, but it seems they were turned down.
Upon seeing Xu Ningyan, they couldn't help but come up and ask her a few questions.
Xu Ningyan didn't want to say much. No matter who asked, she would only smile bitterly and not mention a single bad word about the Xu family.
In the eyes of the team members, this girl was kind and righteous. Even though she was forced into this situation, she didn't say anything bad about the Xu family.
Compared to the Xu family's actions, the difference is immediately apparent.
When the Xu family and Xu Siya are mentioned again, everyone's tone changes.
When people talk about Miao Cuihua's family, they say they are inhuman and heartless!
Speaking of Xu Siya, she's a kind and honest person!
These are all things to be discussed later.
Xu Ningyan asked Aunt Xie for some dried chili peppers, and Aunt Xie not only gave her two large bunches, but also picked a large basket of cucumbers, eggplants, and chili peppers that had just come from her own vegetable garden and insisted on giving them to her.
Xu Ningyan took the vegetables and said she wanted to pay, but Aunt Xie kicked her out the door: "I'm just an old widow, I can't possibly eat all these vegetables, and I'll get too old to eat them all! Besides, you've given me plenty of good food before, so if you pay me, don't ever come back again!"
Xu Ningyan knew that Aunt Xie had a sharp tongue but a kind heart, so she just smiled and accepted it.
Xu Ningyan happily went home with a large basket of vegetables.
Meanwhile, the Xu family was in complete chaos.
