Li Xi was alright. Having been reborn, she could barely control her expression so as not to look too bad, and she could also endure it and apologize in a low voice.
Fu Tingshen was in no condition; his face turned a deep liver color.
He squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, "Sorry."
He turned and left.
“Brother Ting Shen”.
Li Xi hurriedly chased after him.
"Brother Ting Shen~, it's disgusting." Liu Shengnan mimicked the words, making herself get goosebumps all over.
She rolled her eyes.
What she disliked most was people like Li Xi, who said one thing to your face and another behind your back, and who said all sorts of good and bad things to you all the time.
She looked sickly and pitiful, as if someone had bullied her.
They were apologizing, and Ye Zhiyu thanked Lu Chen.
"Thank you for saving me."
Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, pointing to the side with the scar.
He already looked intimidating, and this move makes him look even more like a bully.
Wu Wenwen, who was supporting Ye Zhiyu, felt her legs go weak. It wasn't the first time she had seen Lu Chen, but it was the first time she had been this close. It was terrifying.
Was the captain's son really not a bandit before?
People these days don't really appreciate someone like Lu Chen; they prefer someone refined and cultured.
But in Ye Zhiyu's eyes, Lu Chen was practically etched into her heart.
He exudes masculinity.
Ye Zhiyu's gaze was too direct, making Lu Chen very uncomfortable.
"It was just a small favor."
Lu Weimin heard this too and immediately burst into laughter, "Don't take Ye Zhiqing to heart. He's a young man who should do what's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable being his father."
With a proud tone, Lu Chen glanced at his father and recalled how his father had jumped up and down at home more than a month ago, cursing him for being an unfilial son.
Lu Weimin was unaware of his son's ulterior motives and continued to shower him with praise.
"Uncle, that's not how it works. While we hope everyone will act bravely and righteously, we can't take it for granted. Brother Lu Chen just took a risk. I'll definitely visit him another day."
Ye Zhiyu, who also had experience in the workplace, spoke eloquently and persuasively.
Lu Weimin was pleased to hear this and said with a smile, "Ye Zhiqing, you should go to the clinic to get your injury checked later. Judging from the situation, you can't do heavy work. Starting tomorrow, you can help the children cut pig feed."
This child knows how to talk. Anyway, she was always slacking off in the fields, which annoyed him. So he decided to take advantage of her injury to transfer her away. The villagers wouldn't be able to find anything to hold against her, which would make him feel better, and it would also make things easier for Ye Zhiqing.
Ye Zhiyu's eyes lit up. This job suited her perfectly, even though it only paid 4 work points. Besides, the original owner of this body wasn't short of money, and she really couldn't do farm work. So she sweetly called him "Uncle" repeatedly.
"Thank you so much, Uncle. You're so kind."
In just a short while, almost everyone had left, leaving only a few of them.
Wu Wenwen was shocked. Was this still the same Ye Zhiyu who always had a sour face and couldn't do anything right?
Looking at the usually stern and unsmiling captain, Wu Wenwen shuddered. It must be a hallucination.
After talking for a while, Lu Weimin rushed off to work, taking Lu Chen with him.
Before leaving, Lu Chen glanced at Ye Zhiyu, but was startled by her smiling, almond-shaped eyes, and subconsciously turned back.
Realizing his own actions, he secretly despised himself. What was a little girl afraid of?
......
Ye Zhiyu was unaware of his thoughts and was slowly making her way to the clinic.
Old Wang's blow was quite forceful; her meager spiritual energy was only enough to restore her mobility.
The rest is still to come. I don't know where that little bit of spiritual energy in my body came from. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any at all. Thinking about this, I scolded my father, the Heavenly Dao, again.
Upon arriving at the clinic, the wound was on the back of the head. It was cleaned simply, disinfected, and treated with medication.
The moment the cotton swab touched her, Ye Zhiyu hissed.
Tears welled up instantly, and she looked at Wu Wenwen with teary eyes, saying, "It hurts so much."
Wu Wenwen's heart melted at the sight, and she said to the doctor, "Be gentle."
The doctor stared at the cotton swab that had just barely touched the surface, lost in thought. How much gentler?
After painstakingly bandaging his wound, he returned to the educated youth settlement completely exhausted.
It was already noon. Liu Shengnan came back to cook, and Ye Zhiyu went straight back to her room.
Seeing her pale face, Liu Shengnan frowned and awkwardly asked Wu Wenwen, who had just come out of Ye Zhiyu's room, "How is she? What did the doctor say?"
Wu Wenwen sighed and said, "The doctor said it's a concussion, the wound is still on the back of the head, and there was so much blood loss, so I'm going to bed to rest now."
Liu Shengnan pursed her lips and muttered, "They're usually so aggressive in front of us, but when it really matters, they're like doormats."
She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart; she clearly cares a lot but can't hold back her words.
The educated youth in the settlement came from all over the country; they were all young people in their teens and twenties.
Whether they came to build the country out of sheer enthusiasm or were forced to go to the countryside.
They believe that coming here is fate, that we are one family.
Although they often bicker, they are absolutely united when it comes to important matters.
Aside from a few individuals with questionable character.
She despised people like Li Xi who were openly or covertly trying to smear Ye Zhiyu.
Regardless of what they think, Ye Zhiyu is currently very satisfied with having a room all to herself.
He opened his mustard seed space, took out a Hundred Treasures Pill and ate it, then closed his eyes to rest.
Speaking of which, this dormitory for educated youth wasn't like this two years ago. Back then, Lu Weimin wasn't the captain of the Red Flag Brigade; he was just the captain of a small team.
The educated youth could only sleep on large communal beds, with seven or eight people crammed together.
The house was made of adobe and was not sturdy; it leaked rain in the summer and let in drafts in the winter.
The educated youth suffered terribly until one of them couldn't take it anymore and went to the commune to complain, asking if all the educated youth were like them.
The higher-ups took it very seriously and came down to investigate. This matter caught the then-captain off guard, and he was found to have embezzled 20,000 yuan.
Among these were resettlement fees for the educated youth: 300 yuan per person, 250 yuan for embezzlement, and 2,500 yuan for 10 people. There were more than 10 people in the educated youth settlement. Some of the educated youth from earlier years got married, while others tried to return to the city.
Accidents kept happening, and dozens of people were involved.
In addition, they would embezzle any money allocated for the brigade's activities, taking more or less than what was allocated; they were simply greedy.
After being caught, he was imprisoned, and the embezzled money was returned.
Lu Weimin was unanimously elected as the brigade leader, and the first thing he did was to build houses for the educated youth.
At the time, they were allowed to discuss how to build it themselves. Each person was given 250 yuan back, while building a tiled house would have cost four or five hundred yuan.
Some groups of two or three pool their money, and they can keep the extra money for themselves.
Of the group that Ye Zhiyu and his friends arrived in, apart from Xu Fen, who came from a poor family, the others were all doing alright, sharing a room with one other person.
Ye Zhiyu paid several hundred yuan out of her own pocket for a room by herself.
