Chapter 166: Retribution in This Life
After Yun Qiao and Jiang Lingyu said goodbye, they turned and headed back to the house. Zheng Jing ran up to her from behind, took her arm, and said with a gloating look on her face, "Yun Qiao, Yun Qiao, did you see that just now? That Ruan guy got beaten up by someone. His face is swollen like a pig's head."
Yun Qiao nodded and said with a smile, "I saw it. I almost laughed out loud on the stage. I wonder which righteous man helped you vent your anger?"
Zheng Yujing said smugly, "This is called retribution in this life! Ruan's fickleness and indifference are so inconsiderate that even outsiders can't stand it!"
Yun Qiao: "Tell me, was it someone from the male educated youth dormitory who did it?"
Zheng Yujing shook her head. "Who knows? What happened last night, and there's no witness or anything."
Yun Qiao asked doubtfully, "Those educated youth who lived in the same room with Ruan Yuping, how could they not hear anything?"
"They said they were so soundly asleep they didn't hear anything, but who knows if they really didn't hear anything or just pretended?"
"Maybe they just don't want to offend him." Yun Qiao raised a barely perceptible smile. "That's fine. Ruan Yuping deserved this beating anyway. There's no reason to blame him."
The two smiled at each other, feeling particularly happy.
Yun Qiao and Zheng Yujing were talking and laughing. Just as they arrived at the team door, Zheng Yujing was stopped by Comrade Lin Tao from the transport team.
Lin Tao obviously had something to say to Zheng Jing, and Yun Qiao tactfully left first, creating an opportunity for the two to talk alone.
Yun Qiao went to the clinic and unlocked the door with her key. After entering, she looked out the window and saw Lin Tao and Zheng Jing talking under the persimmon tree in the team compound.
Because they were far away, they couldn't hear any sound. They could only see Lin Tao reaching out to pull Zheng Jing, but Zheng Jing took a step back to avoid him.
Watching this scene, Yun Qiao couldn't help but wonder, why did Lin Tao suddenly take action? He didn't look like someone who would be so reckless.
After this scene, Zheng Jing and Lin Tao left without saying a few words.
Lin Tao went outside the team headquarters, while Zheng Jing came to the infirmary.
As soon as Zheng Yujing entered the room, she confessed everything without Yun Qiao asking any more questions: "Lin Tao said that he was the one who beat Ruan Yuping last night."
"Lin Tao hit me?" Yun Qiao's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief, "Really? He's so stupid!"
Zheng Jing nodded. "Lin Tao said he liked me and couldn't stand Ruan Yuping's deception of my feelings, so he took advantage of the dead of night, sneaked into his dormitory, put a sack over his head, and beat him up."
"Now that you mention it, it is indeed possible." Yun Qiao suddenly remembered that when he was resting last night, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from behind the wall.
Lin Tao lives in the back, so it is possible that the noise last night was caused by Lin Tao going out to beat Ruan Yuping.
"Hey, Lin Tao looks quite manly in this situation." Yun Qiao praised Lin Tao with admiration, then turned to ask Zheng Zhengjing, "Jing, what are you thinking?"
"Lin Tao is quite a nice guy, but I didn't have any feelings for him, so I rejected him outright." Zheng Yujing said, "Yun Qiao, now I finally understand why you were always speechless with me before."
"I used to be really rude. I always relied on my beauty and thought that men were entitled to me. But being deceived by Ruan Yuping has taught me a lesson. When I think about it, what's the difference between my previous behavior and Ruan Yuping's? We were both trying to keep people hooked. The only difference was our motives. Ruan Yuping was trying to get me money, but I was trying to get men to do some work for me."
"You were a bit of a jerk in the past, but there's no need to lump yourself in with scum like Ruan Yuping." Yun Qiao put his arm around Zheng Jingjing's shoulders and comforted her, "Don't dwell on it. Who can't see the little thoughts written all over your face? They're willing to dote on you when they help you. And what about Ruan Yuping? He was just trying to cheat on you from the beginning, and then he hooked up with you. It's a million times worse than what you've done."
"That's enough, Zheng Jing, don't think too much about it. You've already made it clear to Lin Tao. Just mend your ways and be a good person." Seeing Zheng Jing's gloomy face, Yun Qiao decisively changed the subject: "By the way, it's almost nine o'clock. Aren't you going to work?"
"No. Today's job is still to carry pesticide barrels to the fields to spray pesticides. Chen Fengxia and I are in the same group, and if I go, I'll have to be with her all day long." Zheng Jing said irritably, "I don't want to see her face, so I'll just ask Sister Xing for leave."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Since you've asked for leave, why don't you stay here for a day, relax, and adjust your mood."
"Then I'll help you." Zheng Jingjing joked, "I'll be your assistant and give you a hand."
Yun Qiao readily agreed: "Yes, I'm in need of an assistant."
Zheng Yujing put her hands on her hips and said, "I told you in advance, you are not allowed to look down on me for being clumsy."
"No problem, no problem. Free labor, anyone can use it."
Yun Qiao didn't bother to be polite with Zheng Jing and assigned her a task immediately: "Now, I'd like to trouble my assistant Zheng to clean the room first. Clean it thoroughly, there must not be a single hair on the floor."
Zheng Yujing stood still and saluted Yun Qiao, making it very formal: "Assistant Zheng, take it! I guarantee to complete the task!"
Yun Qiao suppressed a laugh and nodded repeatedly: "Tutututut, Assistant Zheng is a capable person. I believe in you."
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other, and within two seconds, they broke their composure with a "puff", and then they bent over with laughter at the same time.
*
Probably to prove that he had no problems with his conduct and was not a fickle scumbag, Ruan Yuping quickly announced to everyone that he and Chen Fengxia had officially started dating.
The two began to go out together.
From the moment the first wake-up call sounded in the early morning, they started to stick together.
Wash your face and brush your teeth together, eat breakfast together in the cafeteria, work together at work, and rest together after work.
Except for sleeping in the same room, they spend all the time together and are inseparable.
Zheng Yujing saw it all and was furious. She turned to Yun Qiao and complained, "I suspect these two are doing this for me! They want me to know that they're in love with each other, and their bond is stronger than gold. I'm just the unnecessary light bulb between them!"
