Chapter 33 Shooting oneself in the foot
Liu Xi was bewildered by the unexpected quota.
The villagers who came to see the doctor exclaimed in delight, "Congratulations, Liu Zhiqing! You'll be a college student in the future!"
"As expected of Village Chief Xu, this position is well-deserved!"
"But if Liu Zhiqing goes to the provincial capital to attend university, who will our village turn to for medical treatment in the future?"
“…”
The villagers surrounded Liu Xi, talking incessantly. Just then, Li Beibei stormed in angrily. "Liu Xi! Explain to me clearly why the quota was given to you?"
Li Beibei was so anxious that she didn't notice that there were other people in the room. When she said this, everyone looked at her with different expressions.
She lowered her head in shame, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing this, Liu Xi's first reaction was to pull Li Beibei away from here.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment. "I heard that Li Zhiqing was also vying for this spot. She's always looked down on Liu Zhiqing, but now it's her turn. Someone else has gotten the spot."
"I initially thought she would definitely get the spot, but she wasn't selected."
"Given the incident that happened between Li Zhiqing and Jiang's sister's husband that day, this position will never fall on her. Village Chief Xu will not choose someone with bad conduct."
"That being said, isn't Li Zhiqing living at Village Chief Xu's house? Besides, everyone knows that his son likes Li Zhiqing!"
"So what? Village Chief Xu has always been strict and upright. He hates people who try to use backdoors the most."
"Can……"
"Alright, what are you guys arguing about? Hurry up and get the medicine and go to work at the reservoir!"

Liu Xiyi dragged Li Beibei to a secluded corner. When no one was around, Li Beibei suddenly shook off his hand, her eyes full of disgust. "Why are you trying to snatch it from me too?"
"Listen to my explanation. I really didn't mean to compete with you. I only just found out about the quota. I have no idea why this happened!"
Liu Xi was speechless. He liked Li Beibei so much, how could he compete with her when he knew that she wanted that spot?
Li Beibei didn't believe him at all. "Stop pretending! Isn't it because of something Xu Guoqi told you that you treated me like this? Yes! I admit that I asked him for the spot, but that's all. He and I have never done anything that crossed the line! Why would you rather believe him than me?"
She felt that as long as Liu Xi didn't see it with his own eyes, then she was clean!
Liu Xi's apologetic gaze instantly flashed with disappointment. He took a deep breath and asked her bitterly, "Is this spot really that important?"
"Yes!" Li Beibei answered without hesitation, "Fang Jiaxing can't marry me. If I want to leave this damn place, getting a spot is the only way!"
"I can marry you!"
Liu Xi's hands, placed on either side of his thighs, were clenched into fists. He had gone to the countryside before Li Beibei, but they had known each other long before arriving in Junshui Village.
They were classmates, but he was two grades higher than her. When he learned that she was also sent down to this village, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night.
In order to prevent her from being wronged, he even went to ask Xu Dehuai to arrange for Li Beibei to work in the health center to assist him.
Xu Dehuai originally agreed, but later changed his mind.
If you think about it, it must be that Xu Guoye had a crush on Li Beibei, so he asked his father to arrange a timekeeper job for Li Beibei.
