Her skin was so fair and flawless, and her delicate appearance made it impossible to look away once you saw her.
Bai Yuxiao originally thought Su Mingyue was beautiful enough to attract such a beautiful educated youth to pursue him. Seeing the envious and jealous looks from other men, he felt quite pleased with himself.
However, compared to Ye Nian'an, Su Mingyue is clearly no match.
Su Mingyue noticed Bai Yuxiao's blank expression as she looked at Ye Nian'an, and she was furious. She quickly tugged at Bai Yuxiao.
"Yu Xiao, she is Comrade Ye Nian'an, who saved the brigade leader's wife!"
"ah……"
Bai Yuxiao belatedly realized what was happening.
No one had ever told me that Ye Nian'an was that beautiful.
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Bai Yuxiao looked away: "Um... Captain, can I talk to you about this in private?"
"Alright."
Shi Minghui led Bai Yuxiao and Su Mingyue to another secluded place.
"Niannian, what's wrong?"
Ye Nian'an was talking to Shi Minghui and the others. Chu Yan was having lunch, so he didn't come over.
However, his eyes would occasionally drift towards Ye Nian'an, keeping an eye on her safety.
However, seeing Bai Yuxiao staring at Ye Nian'an with a dazed look when she appeared made Chu Yan realize the alarm.
My wife's charm is unparalleled, making it too easy for her to attract the attention of other men.
This made Chu Yan feel uneasy, afraid that his wife would be snatched away by some other man, so he would rush over to ask.
"They need to speak with the captain."
Ye Nian'an pointed to Shi Minghui and the others not far away.
Shi Gandang stroked his chin: "I didn't expect that this Su Zhiqing would actually be so devoted to Bai Yuxiao."
After hearing this, Ye Nian'an asked with interest, "Oh? Little Stone, do you know this Su Zhiqing?"
"Sister-in-law, although I haven't been back much since I joined the army, Su Zhiqing's story is very famous around here. Every time I come back, I hear a lot of gossip..."
Shi Gandang recounted in detail how Su Mingyue pursued Bai Yuxiao and lived in their house, doing all sorts of things like being a slave.
“I heard my dad say that Su’s family was quite well-off. She wasn’t the one who wanted to go to the countryside as an educated youth; she insisted on going to Hongxing Brigade.”
"Moreover, after entering the educated youth settlement, the first thing she did upon seeing Bai Yuxiao was to make a scene and insist on staying at the Bai family's house. The Bai family originally did not want Su, the educated youth, to stay there, but Su agreed to various conditions before she was allowed to move in."
"Oh? Such a thing actually happened?"
Now, Ye Nian'an was even more suspicious that Su Mingyue had a problem.
Because this woman doesn't seem like the kind of fool who would throw herself at someone; she seems to have her own cunning.
The reason she was so shameless and went to great lengths to get into the Bai family must be because she had ulterior motives.
Thinking back to their first meeting, Su Mingyue's blatant gaze, as if she wanted to spy on Ye Nian's entire body...
She suspected that there was some kind of mysterious guidance.
He guided Su Mingyue to do these things.
This includes moving into the Bai family home and pursuing Bai Yuxiao.
Or perhaps it was the aggressive look in her eyes when she "coincidentally" bumped into Ye Nian'an back then.
If I told anyone this idea, no one would believe it; they would think it was superstition or nonsense.
Ye Nian'an believed that this was because she was reborn and also possessed a spiritual spring space.
This is something no one would believe if they heard it out loud, but it has now happened to Ye Nian'an. She has no reason not to suspect that Su Mingyue's behavior is driven by a mission.
Thinking about it, Ye Nian'an looked at Chu Yan: "Brother Yan, what do you think?"
Chu Yan truthfully expressed his thoughts: "This Su Zhiqing is quite strange."
It's purely a case of forcing oneself to endure hardship, and all sorts of actions are baffling.
"Right, right, sister-in-law, Brother Yan, I don't like gossiping about others behind their backs, but everyone in the village has heard that Su Zhiqing is beautiful and from the city, yet she has taken a liking to Bai Yuxiao."
"I'm not saying Bai Yuxiao is a bad person. He's quite handsome and has received an education. He keeps saying he'll take the college entrance exam after the country opens up the system, and get into a good university to bring honor to the village. But his family's financial situation is really bad."
"His sickly mother is so difficult to take care of. Even the wives of his eldest and second eldest sons would rather work with the brigade, enduring wind and sun, than take care of her. It's really amazing that Su, the educated youth, could persevere."
"Moreover, Su, the educated youth, was beautiful. When she first arrived at the educated youth settlement, many male educated youths liked her and wanted to pursue her, but she just happened to fall for Bai Yuxiao. That's what you call fate."
"..."
As Ye Nian'an and the others were talking, Shi Minghui returned.
Bai Yuxiao and Su Mingyue were nowhere to be seen.
Shi Gandang asked curiously, "Dad, what do Bai Yuxiao and the others want with you?"
"Ahem... It's like this, Su Zhiqing also wants to apply to be the barefoot doctor in the village..."
Shi Minghui figured there was no need to hide this from Ye Nian'an and the others, so he simply told them everything.
Although the village lacked barefoot doctors, the number of positions was limited, with only one available.
Shi Minghui has now given Ye Nian'an a letter of recommendation and has witnessed her medical skills, but whether she can pass the exam depends on whether she goes to town for training and passes the final assessment before she can truly become a barefoot doctor.
Now that Su Mingyue has proposed to sign up, Shi Minghui has no reason to refuse and says he will talk to the commune about it.
Ye Nian'an smiled slightly: "It's alright, Captain, it's fair competition."
She is confident in her medical skills.
Regardless of Su Mingyue's background, she is no match for him.
"Okay, Comrade Ye, it's so good that you can understand..."
Shi Minghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Give Su Mingyue a fair chance to compete and let the commune make the selection. If Shi Minghui refuses, it will easily give rise to gossip and people will think that he is favoring the Chu family.
He does indeed prefer Ye Nian'an and has witnessed her medical skills, but that doesn't mean Su Mingyue is inferior to Ye Nian'an. Only practice will tell the truth.
On the other side, Su Mingyue and Bai Yuxiao walked back together.
Seeing that he still seemed preoccupied with it, Su Mingyue angrily said, "Yu Xiao? Yu Xiao!"
Su Mingyue raised her voice, which brought Bai Yuxiao back to her senses: "Huh? What's wrong, Su Zhiqing?"
"Yu Xiao, you're not still hung up on Comrade Ye Nian'an, are you?"
Su Mingyue directly exposed Bai Yuxiao's true thoughts.
"What nonsense are you spouting! I only just met Comrade Ye Nian'an, how could I possibly be so attached to her? Besides, she's married and already has a husband! Don't slander our innocence!"
Bai Yuxiao feigned anger, stammering to cover it up, then coughed lightly and changed the subject: "I was wondering just how amazing Comrade Ye Nian'an's medical skills are, and whether he might be your formidable rival."
"After all, the brigade leader just said there's only one position, and you and Comrade Ye Nian'an are competing fairly for it! Su Zhiqing, are you confident?"
