"Then let's start class." Suti knew that since everyone was already here, there was no way to get rid of them.
Then she could only react to their moves as they came, and eventually figure out their intentions.
"Good, good, good." The head of the publicity department nodded excitedly.
He then asked the minister to give Comrade Su a raise.
Chen Bing and Song Qingyun exchanged a quick glance. It was good that they could stay; they could tell that Su Ti was not very welcoming to them.
Suti's class today went very quickly. Several of them had attended many classes before, and they all had some basic drawing skills.
Although he only had a vague understanding of what Suti was saying, he could quickly write it down and make a simple copy of the pattern.
They thought they would go back and figure it out slowly on their own, but the two newcomers, Chen Bing and his companion, seemed to be listening to gibberish.
Since they had no background in painting and it was their first time there, Suti deliberately spoke faster.
After the lesson, the two were completely confused, looking at Suti with a bewildered expression.
"I don't think you're suited to study here. You're clearly falling behind." After class, while the others were packing up, Suti bluntly criticized the two newcomers.
"Comrade Su, this is our first time here." Song Qingyun, who had been silent until now, held back his words. He could tell that Su Ti looked down on them.
They're here to learn for the first time. Do you expect them to know everything? Then why would they even need to come?
“Everyone here for the first time, and the others aren’t like you.” Suti continued to look at the two with disdain as he saw them getting angry.
Her words were very harsh, practically saying outright that they were terrible and that she disdained to teach them.
"Alright, that's enough. Comrade Su is doing this for our own good." Chen Bing pulled Song Qingyun back from saying something more.
"Comrade Su, don't worry, we will study hard." Chen Bing smiled obsequiously, showing no sign of anger.
The few people who hadn't left yet felt that Comrade Su was acting strangely today; she used to be very easy to talk to.
Why is she nitpicking all day? This is so unlike her.
The person in charge of publicity was also worried, fearing that the two men might feel embarrassed and start arguing with Comrade Su again.
What should he do then? These two are clearly someone important, but he also knows a bit about Su Zhiqing; he's not a simple person either.
Everyone else present was filled with worry, but Suti watched expressionlessly.
She didn't miss the two people's tightly clasped hands, even though they were trying to hold back and even had ingratiating smiles on their faces.
Suti was even more certain that they were after her; as soon as they arrived, she noticed that the county propaganda department seemed afraid to offend anyone.
She knew that these two people must have some background, at least they were not people she could afford to offend. People with status usually have a bit of an air about them.
She spoke so harshly, yet these two still tolerated it, looking like they didn't want to leave. This seems abnormal.
"Wife, are you done with your work?" When Wei Baichuan arrived, he saw a group of people standing there and, thinking something had happened, he hurried over.
Seeing that his wife was alright, he slowed down and walked to her side, his eyes scanning everything around him.
He had seen all the people who came to class here before, but he didn't recognize these two. Were they bullying his wife?
Wei Baichuan shielded his wife behind him.
"We're done here, let's head back." Su Ti nodded to the person in charge and then left with Wei Baichuan.
They didn't even notice the surprised looks on the faces of the two people behind them when they saw Wei Baichuan.
"Wife, what happened just now?" Wei Baichuan looked at Su Ti as soon as he came out. From now on, he would just stand guard at the door when his wife was in class.
It's better for others to feel uncomfortable than for his wife to be in danger later.
"Two new people arrived today. Judging from the manner of the head of the publicity department, these two are clearly someone important."
“I sensed something was off about them, so I deliberately gave them a hard time. If they backed down or couldn’t take it and left, I wouldn’t think much of it.”
"But they just put up with it. They were clearly not convinced. I had a feeling they were coming for me."
Suti felt that her intuition was right, and coupled with her recent restlessness, she would overthink even the slightest disturbance.
"Is something wrong with Grandpa? Should we call him now?" Upon hearing his wife's words, Wei Baichuan instinctively felt that something had happened in Shanghai.
“If something really happened to Grandpa, it’s no use calling him. His phone might be being tapped.”
Suti thought that nothing had happened in her family during this period in her previous life, but her grandfather had been hesitant and stammering when he spoke last time.
Could something really have happened? She knew that making a phone call would be useless.
Her grandfather wouldn't tell her the truth, and phone calls weren't safe either; she was very anxious.
"Honey, if it really comes down to it, should we ask the brigade leader for leave and go back to check on things?"
Wei Baichuan had seen his wife so often, so composed and resourceful, and this was the first time he had ever seen her so flustered.
"Let's go back first and then talk about it." Su Ti considered the feasibility in her mind, thinking that the captain would probably have a hard time approving leave for her.
When educated youth were sent to the countryside, they were generally not allowed to leave at will except during the Spring Festival and for matters of life and death.
She couldn't just curse her family to go back; good curses might not come true, but bad ones would. Having been reborn, she believed even more in karma.
Wei Baichuan knew what his wife was worried about, and he rode his bike thinking about how to get the brigade leader to approve his leave.
The road from the commune to the brigade is considered a straight road, but Yangliu Brigade is located in a remote area, so you have to go around a mountain road before you can reach their brigade.
Fortunately, the road is wide and not long. They always get off and walk at this time of year. The mountain road is bumpy, and the ride is very uncomfortable.
"Wife, don't worry, I've thought of a way to ask the brigade leader for leave, we..." Before Wei Baichuan could finish speaking, he saw several people rush out of the bushes by the mountain road.
Before Suti could react, they rushed up and attacked without saying a word.
"Wife, run!" Wei Baichuan reacted quickly, shoving Su Ti and rushing forward to fight with the people.
Bare-handed, each move aimed at vital points, Suti was pushed, but quickly regained his senses and took out his weapon from his spatial storage.
"Never mind that woman, the mission is more important." One of the men was about to chase after Suti when he was stopped by the man behind him.
They were clearly all skilled fighters; no matter how good Wei Baichuan was, he was no match for them.
The more flustered Suti became, the calmer she remained. Those people clearly didn't take her seriously. Were they after her or Baichuan?
The mountain road here only leads to Yangliu Brigade, and only people from their brigade use it; generally, no one comes here.
They were clearly well-prepared, and the group worked together seamlessly.
Perhaps they wanted to deal with Baichuan first, then it would be much easier for her. Suti didn't go far, and on the surface, she was so frightened that she was too scared to move.
Actually, she was holding a dagger and some chili water she had made herself.
He stared intently at the group of people over there, waiting for his chance to strike.
