A day later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, and it was another normal working morning.

"Team 2, are all the members here?"

"Report, Lu Xianjin, the educated youth, did not come!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the team suddenly became noisy and full of discussions.

"What's Lu Hanwen doing? He hasn't even climbed up to a high position yet, and he's not even working?"

Yi Qingqing was also surprised.

She felt sorry that he didn't go to work yesterday because it rained.

It’s a pity that we couldn’t immediately see Lu Xianjin’s expression when he realized that his reputation was ruined.

However, as the night goes on, the rumor will spread even more.

I didn't expect that he didn't come to work today. What's going on?

"Does anyone know what's going on with him?" Zhao Youtian frowned. What's going on with this Lu Xianjin?

The villagers all turned their eyes to the educated youth.

Everyone looked confused and said they didn't know.

Only Zhao Fang, who lived in the house opposite him, thought for a while and said, "It rained the day before yesterday, and he seemed to come back very late. I didn't think I saw him go out yesterday. Could he be sick?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

If he was really sick, how could he get better without anyone knowing for one day and two nights?

Gao Xiaoxiang also came to work today. When she heard this, she instinctively became worried. She had been outside in the rain for so long the night before yesterday. Could she really be sick?

The village head's wife, Xu Dongmei, was staring at her daughter. When she saw her expression, she immediately grabbed her arm and whispered to her, "It's none of your business! If you dare to be soft-hearted, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter!"

Gao Xiaoxiang cried, "Mom, you have to control me. I know it in my heart, but I still can't help it!"

She really liked Lu Xianjin before, how could she get him back so quickly?

Yesterday he came to look for her in the rain, but his family wouldn't let him in. She almost gave in, but luckily her parents held her back.

In the end, the other person kept saying that he had a clear conscience and would not open the door, so he just kept waiting.

She was still moved and conflicted. Not long after, she found an opportunity and secretly leaned over to the crack in the door to look, but the man was gone.

"You're useless!" Xu Dongmei gave her a sidelong glance with disappointment.

The team leader and the village chief looked at each other, quickly assigned today's tasks, asked everyone to go to the fields to work as usual, and the two of them rushed to the educated youth site.

As Yi Qingqing followed the people from Team 1 into the fields, she looked back every few steps. Aunt Guihua pulled her over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"If you ask me, she is just curious and wants to go over to watch the fun!" an aunt next to her teased.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

Although she really wanted to watch the fun, she usually behaved very seriously, so how could she be noticed?

It was absolutely impossible for Yi Qingqing to admit such a thing that would damage her image! So she said stubbornly, "Aunt, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

Another aunt suppressed her laughter: "Of course not!"

"Haha, our young educated youth is very sensitive about his reputation," Lin Guihua also laughed.

Yi Qingqing blinked and moved her face closer to Lin Guihua, "Come, pinch me, I'm very thick-skinned!"

"Hey, let me do it, let me do it!" An auntie next to them couldn't help it. She had been eyeing Yi Zhiqing's face for a long time and wanted to pinch it to see if it was as nice to touch as it looked.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

After a few jokes, the village chief and the team leader disappeared.

When he got to the field and buried his head in the work, Yi Qingqing glanced at the golden book in his mind, which was motionless, and said, "Useless!"

It is no longer its own weapon for eating melons.

Yi Qingqing was not the only one who was curious about Lu Xianjin's situation. The aunts in the group were able to discover so quickly that she wanted to watch the fun because they were also people of the same kind.

Just then, when the village chief came back alone and just walked onto the ridge of the field, they were the first to discover him. "Village chief, what happened to Lu Zhiqing?"

"He has a serious fever, and Youtian sent him to the brigade clinic," replied the village chief.

Someone immediately asked: "Real illness or fake illness?"

Look, this is simply her mouth. Yi Qingqing glanced at the aunt and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

"Anyway, it looks quite serious. He can't even get off the kang!" said the village chief.

No matter whether he is really sick or not, Gao Weimin's daughter will never have anything to do with him in her life.

Yi Qingqing guessed that the disease was real.

It rained heavily the day before yesterday. After work, we hadn’t walked far and many people were caught in the rain.

There are quite a few people who are still coughing today.

The temperature difference between day and night is already large, and it's humid. It would be strange if you don't catch a cold if you are blown by the cold wind.

According to Zhao Fang, Lu Xianjin must have been caught in the rain for quite a while the day before yesterday.

Yi Qingqing could guess without any hesitation what he was doing. He must have gone to find Gao Xiaoxiang to explain.

Being sick is also a lesson.

At the same time, the golden book moved again, and a conversation between Li Mengxue and Gao Xiaoxiang appeared in it.

"'Mengxue, do you think anything will happen to him? Even though I hate him for going behind my back to find another girl, I don't want him to get seriously ill!' Gao Xiaoxiang said absentmindedly.

Li Mengxue felt as if she had eaten a fly. 'He has not acknowledged his relationship with you to anyone and is busy looking for another partner. Why do you care whether he lives or dies?'

"I... I know this is not right, but I just can't help it." Gao Xiaoxiang had no one else to say these words to.

"If you can't help it, just bear it. Think about it. If you don't find out this time, what will be the consequences? Haven't you heard the story about Qian Lailai's distant relative? If you continue like this, your fate will not be much better than hers. It may be even worse!" Li Mengxue said.

"He's not that bad, is he?" Gao Xiaoxiang couldn't help but retort, "But don't worry, I won't be fooled by him again!"

Li Mengxue: "......"

You look like that, maybe not!"

After work at noon, Li Mengxue couldn't help but complain to her friends: "I'm afraid Gao Xiaoxiang is still trying to get Lu Xianjin to help! I think he is deliberately using torture to trick me!"

"Even after all this, she is still soft-hearted!" Qian Lailai shook his head. This person is hopeless.

Wang Lingling sighed and thought of her previous stubbornness. "Sometimes, people just don't want to face reality and will make excuses for others."

"I'm so angry, so angry!" Li Mengxue patted her chest.

Yi Qingqing counseled her, "We do these things not to help anyone, but for our own peace of mind. The purpose is to expose the bad guys' true colors. Now that the goal has been achieved, whether others will continue to be deceived is not within our consideration. Changing a person's mindset is much more difficult than striking down a bad guy. It's enough to have a clear conscience. After all, we don't expect others to be grateful."

As for dealing with Lu Xianjin, things went too smoothly and ended too quickly, so Li Mengxue and the others felt a little unsatisfied, but it was enough to achieve this point.

If Gao Xiaoxiang is finally coaxed back, she should bear the consequences herself.

People who have been cheated are still worth saving, but those who know they have been cheated but still cover their eyes are fine. They will not wake up unless they receive a lesson that really hurts them.

"Now that you mention it, I feel much better. We are not trying to help her. She just happens to be a relevant person in the first mission of our Four Golden Flowers Action Team. If she can wake up, she will get a bargain. If she can't wake up, let her be. Anyway, it won't affect us at all!" Li Mengxue said bitterly, "Anyway, if my man dares to cheat on me, I will never tolerate it! It's hard to find a two-legged toad, but there are many three-legged men. Why make things difficult for yourself!"

When she spoke earlier, she lowered her voice when it came to the details of the task, but when she said the last sentence, her voice became louder.

Yi Qingqing really wanted to applaud her.

I'm happy for her carefree attitude, as it means she will be more decisive in getting out of the relationship in the future. Plus, she said before that the purpose of dating is to be happy, so this fruitless relationship with Zheng Xiaolong may not be without value to her.

In the past, as a background female supporting role with a mediocre relationship with Li Mengxue, she could sit firmly in her position as a spectator.

But now that they were friends, she felt a little conflicted.

Seeing that her relationship with Zheng Xiaolong was getting better day by day and they had almost confirmed their relationship, the fiancée arranged for him by Zheng Xiaolong's family was always a hidden danger.

Even if Li Mengxue is very free and easy, she should make her own choice, instead of Yi Qingqing thinking about what is good for her.

So after thinking it over, Yi Qingqing still felt that she should remind her, but she had no channels to find out about this matter, so it was not easy for her to tell her directly.

Li Mengxue’s last words today were an opportunity.

Yi Qingqing turned around and looked at Zheng Xiaolong behind her.

He didn't seem to feel guilty at all, and he immediately expressed his sincerity to Li Mengxue: "Mengxue, don't worry, I will definitely not lie to you!"

Yi Qingqing frowned. Is this really not a guilty conscience?

She rolled her eyes and said, "Come to think of it, Mengxue was forced to marry before she went to the countryside, and my ex-sister-in-law also wanted to plan my marriage. What about you?"

Others have nothing to hide.

Chen Zhihe directly said no, his eyes still glancing at Qian Lailai.

Yun Guyuan also shook his head.

Only Zheng Xiaolong did not answer for a moment.

Section 70

Li Mengxue also noticed his abnormality, "Xiaolong, were you also forced to get married before going to the countryside?"

"Well, my family wanted to match me up with a girl from a family of old friends. We grew up together, and I know her character best. I don't like her at all, so I ran away to the countryside." Zheng Xiaolong said.

He didn't lie, and Yi Qingqing looked at him with a higher opinion.

Li Mengxue frowned: "Old friend? You really don't like him?"

Zheng Xiaolong shook his head firmly, "No, I only like you."

"Okay, let me be frank with you. If you make me unhappy, I won't turn back," Li Mengxue said this for some reason.

Zheng Xiaolong nodded, "Don't worry, now that I'm in the countryside, they can't control me anymore."

Li Mengxue did not comment, she knew very well what she wanted.

Yi Qingqing watched the exchange of glances between the two and said nothing more.

This is enough, as long as Li Mengxue is mentally prepared.

"Speaking of which, Mengxue, what did you mean by the three-legged man you just mentioned?" Qian Lailai pondered for a while, and when he saw that no one spoke, he couldn't help but ask this question.

Yi Qingqing almost couldn't help laughing.

This girl is a talent! Her focus is always so unique.

Qian Lailai's words drew Li Mengxue's attention away from Zheng Xiaolong.

Li Mengxue's expression is very interesting. The girls in front of her are all "pure" young ladies who have never seen the world. Should she pollute them?

"Yes, don't men have two legs?" Wang Lingling was also reminded.

A mature time traveler should learn to blend in with the crowd. Yi Qingqing decided to join them. "It should be that two-legged toads are hard to find, but is it also hard to find two-legged men?"

After saying that, he was still waiting expectantly for Li Mengxue's answer.

Li Mengxue held it in for a long time before she said, "Qingqing is right, I was wrong."

Yi Qingqing: "..."

When they returned to the educated youth site and passed by Lu Xianjin's house, they were surprised to find that the door panel of his house was just left there.

"Oh my God, is Lu Xianjin really that sick and unable to get out of bed? Did the village chief and the others remove the door before they could get in?" Qian Lailai exclaimed.

"That's what he deserves!" said Li Mengxue.

Yi Qingqing guessed that Lu Xianjin got sick because he was caught in the rain, and it was most likely a cold.

If you have a cold that makes you unable to get out of bed, you must have a fever. But you have had a fever for so long, two nights and one day, it's hard to say what's going on.

However, Yi Qingqing privately thought that Lu Xianjin would not be so stupid as to not call for help even though he was so seriously ill.

There is a high chance that someone will pretend to be pitiful when they are sick.

When I was getting ready to go to work in the afternoon, Lu Xianjin came back.

He didn't come back alone, the team leader pulled the group back on a cart.

Gao Xiaoxiang couldn't help herself when she saw the cart and the person wrapped in a blanket lying on it. Even though the village head's wife tried to pull her, it was useless. She rushed over and said, "Go ahead!"

"No way, is the disease really that serious?" Li Mengxue said with disbelief, but she felt a little gloating. It would be best if there were some sequelae so that he would remember it!

Several people came over to take a look.

Lu Xianjin was lying on the cart, his face as pale as paper and his brows slightly furrowed. If the quilt had not covered his head, Yi Qingqing would have thought it was a corpse.

“Cough cough!” Seeing someone coming over, Lu Xianjin propped himself up, covered his chest and coughed violently a few times, “Xiaoxiang, listen to my explanation!”

Yi Qingqing: "..."

They are all acting geniuses!

Being sick is real, and pretending to be pitiful is also real.
