When Lin Qing returned to her dormitory, she found the atmosphere there was a bit tense.
"What's wrong……?"
Lin Qing asked Lu Xianghong curiously.
“Qingqing, that bitch Chen Zhaodi said you were having an affair with the cripple in that shabby little house. I had a fight with her.”
Lu Xianghong was still angry, and when she heard Lin Qing's question, she couldn't help but complain.
Upon hearing Lu Xianghong's answer, Lin Qing's expression instantly turned ugly.
"Slap... slap..."
Lin Qing walked straight to Chen Zhaodi's side and slapped her twice.
"Thump..."
Chen Zhaodi stood up to fight back, but Lin Qing kicked her to the ground.
Since transmigrating, Lin Qing has been drinking spiritual spring water and taking strengthening pills. Now, Lin Qing's physical condition is better than that of a man, and beating up Chen Zhaodi is as easy as beating up a kindergarten child.
"Lin Qing, what right do you have to hit someone? I'm going to tell the captain."
Chen Zhaodi, face down, was kicked to the ground, her nose bleeding profusely.
"You're spreading rumors and slandering me, so isn't it normal for me to hit you? You're just crying wolf."
"Okay, go tell the brigade leader! Let the brigade leader be my judge."
"Are you going or not? If you don't go, I will."
After saying that, Lin Qing strode towards the brigade leader's house.
Chen Zhaodi was dumbfounded as she watched Lin Qing walk away.
Why is this person not playing by the rules? She was the one who was hit, so why is she the one complaining?
Actually, Lin Qing wasn't so angry when Chen Zhaodi insulted her; what angered her was when Chen Zhaodi called Gu Nanxun a cripple.
Gu Nanxun is now Lin Qing's Achilles' heel. Others may criticize Lin Qing herself, but they must never criticize Gu Nanxun.
Moreover, Lin Qing wanted to make an example of him; only by making a big fuss could she openly help Gu Nanxun in the future.
Moreover, this is a good opportunity to explain things to the villagers and shut them up from gossiping.
The best way to stop rumors is to expose them before they take shape.
"Clap clap clap..."
Lin Qing arrived at the brigade leader's house, knocking loudly on the door and shouting.
"Captain, are you home? This is Lin Qing. You must help me get justice!"
Lin Qing saw some elderly women resting under a nearby tree and deliberately shouted loudly.
"What's wrong? What happened, Xiao Lin, the educated youth?"
The captain, wearing only a coat, anxiously came out of the house, fearing that something had happened to Gu Nanxun.
"Captain, you took me to see Comrade Gu today. After the appointment, I went to the post office to call my family and found out that Comrade Gu was my brother's comrade-in-arms."
“My brother was very angry when he heard about Comrade Gu’s situation. He told me that I must take good care of Comrade Gu. Comrade Gu’s comrades also sent me money so that I could help buy some necessities and nutritional supplements for Comrade Gu.”
"I went to deliver something to Comrade Gu, but unexpectedly, rumors spread that I was having an affair with Comrade Gu..."
"Captain, you can't just make baseless accusations like this! If word gets out, how can I face anyone again!"
Lin Qing said with a wronged expression.
"Who? Who said that..."
The brigade leader was also very angry when he heard this. He had taken Xiao Lin, an educated youth, to see Gu Nanxun, and Xiao Lin was the barefoot doctor he had chosen. How could he be slandered by others?
“Come on… Xiao Lin, take me there. I want to see who loves to gossip so much.”
As he spoke, the brigade leader angrily followed Lin Qing toward the educated youth settlement.
The neighbors on both sides, as well as the old ladies under the tree, saw that there was something to see and all followed! They also joined in on the people they encountered seeking shade along the way! More and more people gathered along the way.
Lin Qing secretly raised the corners of her mouth; the more people who followed, the better.
"Captain, this is all a misunderstanding. Chen Zhiqing just speaks without thinking. He just blurted things out without any malice."
When Wang Xiangnan saw that Lin Qing had indeed called the captain over, he quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Wang Zhiqing, that’s not how it works. If she blurts out and it gets out, it will ruin my reputation and I’ll lose my life. I don’t want others to talk like that.”
Upon hearing Wang Xiangnan's explanation to Chen Zhaodi, Lin Qing said unhappily.
Hearing Lin Qing's blunt words, Wang Xiangnan's expression changed unhappily, and she stopped talking.
"Wang Zhiqing, could you please call Chen Zhiqing out?"
"That's what the captain said."
Soon, Chen Zhaodi came out of the house.
When the brigade leader arrived, Chen Zhaodi heard the noise, but she didn't dare to come out. Now that the brigade leader had spoken, Chen Zhaodi had no choice but to come out of the house.
"Chen Zhaodi, please tell me, who told you that Wang Zhiqing and Comrade Gu were having an affair, or did you see it with your own eyes?"
The captain asked sternly.
“Captain, this is not my fault. I saw with my own eyes Lin, the educated youth, giving malted milk powder to Comrade Gu.”
"If there were no connection, how could Lin Zhiqing have just given away such expensive malted milk powder so easily?"
"My God! Malted milk powder... Lin Zhiqing is so rich! She's even willing to give away malted milk powder."
The old woman watching exclaimed in surprise! She didn't doubt that Lin Zhiqing and Gu Nanxun were having an affair, because Gu Nanxun nowadays wouldn't even look at the widows in the village, let alone the beautiful and rich Lin Zhiqing?
"I didn't give the malted milk powder to Comrade Gu. It was Comrade Gu's comrade-in-arms who asked me to buy it for him."
"Moreover, I am currently examining Comrade Gu's leg. Since Comrade Gu is my brother's comrade-in-arms, I promised my brother that I would help take care of Comrade Gu, which is why I am taking extra care of him."
"It's amazing that Lin Zhiqing also knows medicine! If we get sick in the future, can we ask Lin Zhiqing to treat us?"
"Yeah! Does this mean our brigade will have a doctor now...?"
"From now on, will we no longer need to go to the commune to see a doctor...?"
Upon hearing that Lin Qing had treated Gu Nanxun's leg, the onlookers happily began to discuss it.
"Everyone heard that, right? I took Lin Zhiqing to see Gu Nanxun for his leg! Lin Zhiqing knows medicine, and she will be our village's barefoot doctor in the future!"
The brigade leader explained to the villagers who had gathered around.
"Chen Zhaodi, you spread rumors about others and damaged their reputations without understanding the situation! Therefore, you are punished by being made to carry manure for a month."
"I'm sorry, Captain... I didn't mean it, I promise I won't do it again..."
Chen Zhaodi, upon hearing that the brigade leader had punished her by making her carry manure, quickly pleaded for her life.
"Alright, that's enough! Chen Zhaodi, be careful in the future, don't make things up or cause trouble, otherwise next time it won't just be you being punished by carrying manure for a month!"
"Everyone, you can all leave now."
After saying that, the captain turned and left, ignoring Chen Zhaodi.
Watching the captain walk away, Chen Zhaodi gritted her teeth and tugged hard at her clothes.
She turned around, glared at Lin Qing quickly, and then went back to her room.
