Chapter Seventy: The Gluttonous Girl
"I'm going to beat you up, you arrogant fool!"
Lin Baozhu approached step by step, her eyes icy: "Did I give you the wrong impression because I'm usually too nice? That you'd dare to boss me around here?!"
She stepped on Bi Yuntao's side, splashing dirt, then bent down, grabbed his collar, and lifted half of his body up!
The handsome face drew close to his pale one, the voice low and menacing: "Bi Yuntao, if you want to keep your job, you'd better keep your tail between your legs! Behave yourself! Don't cause trouble. I can get Director Zhang locked up in jail, and I can make sure you pack your bags and get out of the machine factory tomorrow! Don't believe me? Just try me!"
Bi Yuntao shuddered uncontrollably, a wave of immense fear coursing through his heart like a cold snake. He knew Lin Erlang had investigated and that his job was illegitimate. Plus, Lin Baozhu had visited the machine factory today and even met with the factory manager; she might sabotage him behind his back. This job was one he had risked everything to get, and he absolutely couldn't let it go…
Seeing the panic in his eyes, Lin Baozhu snorted coldly.
Her second brother had told her before that Bi Yuntao's job was illegitimate and that it would be easy to bring him down. The reason he hadn't done so was that he wanted to see Bi Yuntao living in constant fear and trepidation.
I just didn't expect this bastard to fight back, and he almost succeeded!
Fortunately, everything passed without serious incident. However, since this person dared to collude with others to harm her second brother, she shouldn't blame her for using underhanded methods to ruin his job!
Bi Yuntao was stunned by the undisguised sinister and ruthless look in Lin Baozhu's eyes. He even slowed his breathing and his body trembled slightly with fear.
He stammered, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Seeing the other person's frightened expression, Lin Baozhu disgustedly shoved him away like trash, dusting off her hands. Turning to face her mother, the fierce look on her face instantly transformed into a bright smile, tinged with a girlish charm and pride, her voice softening: "Mom! Your daughter's really something now! I found two respectable jobs on my own, and even experts and high-ranking officials in the city are vying to have me do research at their factory! Such great news, how about we make a sauerkraut and pork trotter hotpot tonight to treat me properly? I'm really craving it!"
The brigade leader's wife immediately chimed in with a smile: "Baozhu is now getting a 'double whammy,' earning two grain rations! This is a huge joy! Pickled cabbage and pig's feet aren't enough, we should at least get two pounds of pork belly to stew! Our village hasn't had such a capable person in years!"
"This greedy girl, alright, alright, I'll make it for you in a bit. Why do you want hot pot on such a hot day?"
Although Lin's mother seemed disgusted, she never stopped smiling.
Her daughter really made her proud today!
I went out for a day and came back with two jobs. I doubt anyone would believe it if I told them.
When everyone saw the Lin family leave, they all glanced at the disheveled Zhao Xiaoyu and Bi Yuntao and sneered.
"A shameless person is invincible. He thinks he can buy someone's job for five hundred yuan? Even if Baozhu really sells it, the police might not even want him."
"I don't know what he's thinking. He's already fallen out with the Lin family to this point, yet he keeps going back to them to make his presence felt. What's his purpose?"
"He must be regretting it. Baozhu is in high demand now, she has two jobs."
Jiang Meng, standing in the crowd, spoke up quietly: "Yeah, she has two jobs. If someone marries her in the future, won't those jobs be part of her dowry? Two jobs, and these days each job pays at least eight or nine hundred, or even a thousand yuan."
The people who had been surrounding the Lin family all changed their expressions, and began to have their own ulterior motives.
Even the captain's wife's eyes darkened.

Upon returning home, Lin's mother immediately chopped off a wild boar's elbow...
As soon as the pork knuckle was put into the pot to cook, Lin's mother wiped her hands on her apron and smiled, "Simmer for another two hours, then you can slice it and eat it. By the way, Haifeng's medicine is ready. Go and take it to him. He's probably feeling bored being alone in the room. Talk to him; after all, he was injured saving me..."
"knew."
Lin Baozhu carried the pills straight to Qin Haifeng's room...
"Qin Haifeng, are you asleep? I'm coming in."
Before the person inside could speak, he had already pushed open the door.
Qin Haifeng, startled by the woman peeking out, hurriedly pulled a thin blanket over himself. He then gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Baozhu, don't you know how to knock before coming in?"
Lin Baozhu held the medicine bowl, her eyes glancing at Qin Haifeng almost imperceptibly...
The other man was wearing a faded sweat-soaked shirt, revealing his strong, muscular arms and a firm chest. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his face was slightly flushed, whether from embarrassment or heat, it was hard to tell.
This guy, whether it's his looks or his physique, is irreplaceable in her heart.
How can you trick someone into coming to your bed and willingly having sex with you?
"Okay, okay! I'll definitely do it next time. Come on, drink your medicine."
Qin Haifeng looked at the medicine bowl pressed against his face, and a strong smell of Chinese medicine rushed straight to the top of his head.
He lifted his eyelids slightly, his gaze sliding from her slender white fingers holding the bowl down to her face. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Leave it there, drink it when it cools down." His voice was deep, with a deliberately suppressed calmness.
Upon hearing this, Lin Baozhu sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with the medicine bowl in her hand, instantly closing the distance between the two of them.
She leaned slightly forward and placed the medicine bowl on the kang table. From this angle, her neckline drooped slightly. Qin Haifeng glanced up and caught a glimpse of her slender, white, and supple neck and the hazy curves extending from her collarbone. The faint scent of soapberry mixed with the sweet fragrance unique to young girls wafted into his nostrils without warning.
His heart tightened, his neck stiffened, and he instinctively tried to look away, but his gaze met Lin Baozhu's.
Those eyes were clear and innocent, yet the corners of them were slightly upturned, carrying a hint of a smile that he couldn't quite decipher, but which inexplicably tickled his heart.
"Old Yan said that this medicine must be drunk while it's hot, otherwise its medicinal properties will dissipate."
As he spoke, he leaned closer and gently stirred the medicine in the bowl with a spoon. The spoon tapped against the rim of the bowl, making a crisp, soft sound.
Qin Haifeng's body tensed up involuntarily. He could clearly feel her body brushing against his arm as she bent over. The soft touch was amplified, sending a tingling sensation from his feet all the way to his tailbone, a tingling sensation mixed with an indescribable itch.
"I……"
He was about to say he would do it himself when he saw Lin Baozhu scoop up a spoonful of medicine and gently blow on it.
The rising steam spread around her lips, moistening her previously dry lips and giving them an alluring sheen.
Qin Haifeng's gaze was involuntarily drawn to them, fixed on their slightly pouting red lips.
This scene... is absolutely terrifying.
