"Who knows what they're thinking?"
Wen Minting pouted, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice. Her arrogant cousin had actually been sent to the countryside.
She had heard that the educated youth sent to the countryside had a very hard life, and that they had to work hard in the fields every day just to earn their own food.
It's a pity that the Wen family won't let them contact Wen Yuennan. If they hadn't been told otherwise, she could have pretended to visit her and seen how miserable Wen Yuennan was now.
This made her appear to look down on everyone.
As for Wen Yuennan, whom Wen Minting was concerned about, she was indeed not doing very well now. She had set her sights too high, acting like an iron lady every day and insisting on doing the same work as an adult man.
But can that be compared?
Wen Yuennan was determined to win, unlike the adult men in Xiangyang Brigade who were used to doing manual labor.
These past few days, the amount of work she insisted on taking on has been piling up, leaving her so exhausted every day that she's about to collapse in the fields, and she still can't finish it all...
Wen Yuennan failed to infiltrate the educated youth settlement and was not well-liked. Even the scheming and stingy Xu Youwen and the gloomy Jiang Yi were more popular than her.
She barely had time to supervise Shi Lingheng, barely even taking a lunch break, spending the whole day dealing with the land.
Even Shi Lingheng sometimes wondered if Wen Yuennan was really sent to supervise him.
Or was it because after coming into contact with the land, she immediately discovered that she loved the land so deeply that she had completely forgotten her own existence?
Shi Lingheng couldn't understand it.
However, it was of course very good that no one disturbed his normal life. He continued to do the work assigned to him in the fields every day with ease, and occasionally reported to the village chief Li Dafu to go to the back mountain to hunt some game. Some messages were passed on by Zhang Desheng.
Wu Ying's situation has made progress; he has apparently sought refuge with the Wen family in Beidu. Unfortunately, Wen Minting is not very clear about this matter, and trying to find a breakthrough through Wen Yuennan would risk alerting the enemy.
He had to find Wu Ying to learn what had happened back then, why Fu Weidong hadn't settled things properly, and how much he had been involved in the affairs of the Fu and Shi families.
Most importantly, Wu Ying must not be allowed to reveal Fu Weidong's affairs.
It seems that Wu Ying has no intention of revealing this matter yet. After all, this matter can be used as a trump card, and he would be a fool to reveal it so easily...
Wu Ying's actions were definitely not motivated by any desire to protect him; she simply wanted to sell her nephew for a higher price in the future...
He was certain that Wu Ying had not exposed this matter, otherwise Fu Weidong's side would not be so peaceful now, and many people would probably be targeting him.
Before his nephew grew up, Shi Lingheng strictly followed his brother's wishes, not wanting him to die like this...
Although that brat isn't very likable, I can still take care of him until he's an adult, but who cares about the future... I have to take responsibility for my own life.
And what about the truth behind her brother's death? Could Wu Ying also know something about it...?
Therefore, whether it's to find out the truth about her brother's death or to ensure Fu Weidong grows up safely, Wu Ying needs to be found and dealt with as soon as possible.
He couldn't make a move on his side, since most of his men were old acquaintances of the Fu family, and Wu Ying would know them better than he did. So, this matter was a good opportunity to ask Ruan Jiu for a favor.
