Without waiting for Jia Zhenzhen to refuse, Chen Qiangwei quickly said, "Okay, after work at noon, let's go visit Aunt Six together."
Jia Zhenzhen's face stiffened when she heard this. "Haha, Comrade Chen Qiangwei must be joking."
Are you kidding? Visiting a patient doesn't cost money? She and Big Mouth Shutter are not related at all, and she often says behind her back that only a person with a mental disorder would spend money on her.
She told Chen Qiangwei about this first because she wanted to see the show, not spend any money.
Chen Qiangwei: "Comrade Jia Zhenzhen, please don't be so modest. Being beautiful and kind-hearted is a virtue that deserves our great praise.
We all understand your desire to visit Aunt Six, so it's settled. I'll be waiting for you at the threshing ground at the brigade headquarters at noon."
Jia Zhenzhen: ...What can she say? They've already put her on the fire, and she says she won't go? If she doesn't go, it's just a waste of reputation. If she goes, she'll feel bad about her wallet.
A group of educated youth: ...The villagers are right, this Chen Qiangwei is indeed not someone to be trifled with.
Everyone worked silently, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being arrested by Chen Qiangwei.
Although she wore work gloves while working yesterday, Chen Qiangwei still had several large blisters on her palms, which hurt when touched.
In the evening, Wang Xiaomai used a needle to prick the blisters for her and applied medicated oil, which made her feel better.
In addition to Wang Xiaomai, whose palms were covered with calluses because she had helped her grandmother with work since she was a child, Xu Hongli, Han Qianshan and Si Yujue also had blisters. Because they did not wear gloves, their blisters were even more serious than Chen Qiangwei.
The progress of work today was much slower than yesterday. Chen Qiangwei had just finished weeding when she got off work in the morning.
Because Gu Anyang thought of some impure things last night and felt that he had desecrated the beauty, he was a little afraid to face Chen Qiangwei today and kept his head down at work.
Hearing Chen Qiangwei's occasional gasping sounds, he felt both distressed and helpless. In broad daylight, he didn't dare to show excessive concern for Chen Qiangwei, for fear of causing trouble for her.
As soon as work was over, Chen Qiangwei called out to Jia Zhenzhen, who was about to run away, "Comrade Jia Zhenzhen, don't forget to meet me at the battalion headquarters at twelve o'clock in the drying field."
Jia Zhenzhen curled her lips and said, "I can't forget it."
"That's good. Seeing you leave so quickly, I thought you were... It seems I was mistaken."
Gu Anyang paused and whispered, "You, be careful, don't suffer any loss."
Although Shut Up's husband and son would not hit a woman, Shut Up still has four daughters-in-law. Country women are naturally good at pulling hair, scratching faces, pinching thighs, and tearing clothes.
Chen Qiangwei: "Are you worried about me?"
Seeing Gu Anyang blushing from face to neck with embarrassment, Chen Qiangwei raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Don't worry, I'm a civilized person."
At twelve o'clock noon, Chen Qiangwei put two eggs in her pocket and went out.
At the threshing ground next to the brigade headquarters, Jia Zhenzhen also came over with a basket in her hand at the right time.
Looking at Chen Qiangwei with nothing in her hands, Jia Zhenzhen couldn't believe it. "Is that all you want?"
Chen Qiangwei was confused: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"You don't bring anything?" Who would visit a patient without a gift? Even if it's just two sweet potatoes, you have to bring one.
Chen Qiangwei patted her pocket with sudden realization: "Oh, you mean this? Don't worry, I brought it."
Jia Zhenzhen looked at it and could tell from the bulging shape of the pocket that there were two eggs in it. Her face looked a little ugly. She wondered if Chen Qiangwei was out of her mind, giving such a valuable gift to someone who was not even related to her. The sweet potatoes in her basket seemed a little embarrassing, but fortunately the basket was wrapped in cloth.
"Comrade Jia Zhenzhen, you are so generous to give me so many gifts."
Jia Zhenzhen curled her lips and smoothed the cloth on the basket so that no one could see what was inside.
The two of them went to Bi Dazui's house together. At this time, everyone was eating and resting at home, so they didn't meet anyone on the way.
All the way to Bidah’s house.
The eldest son Gu Chunlai kept his mouth shut and said, "What are you doing here?"
If it weren't for this female educated youth, his mother wouldn't have fallen ill and talked nonsense.
Chen Qiangwei put her hand against the door and said, "Brother Gu, I heard that Sixth Aunt is sick, so Comrade Jia Zhenzhen and I came to visit her." Then she took out the eggs.
Jia Zhenzhen smiled at Gu Chunlai and said, "Brother Gu, we are here to visit Sixth Aunt. I wonder if her illness has improved."
Since you are here and have brought gifts, you have to leave a good impression on others. If you don't contribute to her good image, it would be a waste of her gift.
The two of them were smiling and even brought gifts. Even though Gu Chunlai was dissatisfied, he didn't chase them away. His mother had a grudge against Chen Zhiqing, but not against Jia Zhiqing.
"Come in."
The men of the Gu family were not in a good mood when they saw Chen Qiangwei. Otherwise, it was not just because of this new female educated youth, she would not get sick if she kept her mouth shut. She also took three days off and lost three days of work points in vain.
Chen Qiangwei handed the eggs to Gu Chunlai's wife, "Sister-in-law Gu, we meet again."
Mrs. Gu accepted the gift and looked at Chen Qiangwei with some embarrassment, "Chen Zhiqing, please come. My mother-in-law is ill and can't see anyone."
At this moment, a voice with a big mouth rang out from the room, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it, spare my life, Lord Yama, spare my life!"
Mrs. Gu's face changed. "Mother-in-law is sick and confused. Don't take her nonsense seriously. We don't have time to entertain you at home right now. Chen Zhiqing and Jia Zhiqing, take care."
Chen Qiangwei: "Speaking of which, Aunt Six's illness this time is closely related to me. If I hadn't been young and impulsive and contradicted her, she wouldn't have been so angry that she fell ill. I'll go in and talk her over."
Mrs. Gu wanted to stop Chen Qiangwei, but Chen Qiangwei was too fast and walked past her in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Gu changed her mind and thought that her mother-in-law's illness should be related to what Chen Zhiqing said to her yesterday. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Maybe Chen Zhiqing can really cure her mother-in-law.
Otherwise, if they kept shouting "Lord of Hell, Lord Black and White", it would be a big deal if someone heard it. If the brigade cadres knew about it, they would be criticized at the very least, and at the worst, they would be dragged to a meeting. From then on, their family would never be able to hold their heads up in Huaihua Brigade.
Being watched closely by twenty pairs of eyes from the Gu family, Jia Zhenzhen tried hard to maintain a smile: "I didn't hear anything. Since Sixth Aunt is fine, I'll leave first. No need to see me off. You guys stay."
When she went out, Jia Zhenzhen had a sullen face. She was being used by Chen Qiangwei.
All she could do now was pretend that she didn't hear Bi Dazui's nonsense. If any rumor about Bi Dazui's "feudal superstition" got out of the brigade, Bi Dazui and his family would not forgive her.
Bi Dazui, who had just dreamed of being dragged by the King of Hell to have her tongue pulled out, was awakened by the shock and broke into a cold sweat. When she woke up, she found Chen Qiangwei walking towards her.
Shutting his mouth wide, he was afraid and said angrily, "What are you doing in my house?"
Chen Qiangwei, "I heard that Aunt Six was sick, so I came to see you."
She closed her mouth and opened her eyes wide to look at the ceiling, "What's so good about it? I won't die for a while." She didn't dare to close her eyes. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the King of Hell holding the Book of Life and Death in one hand and a pen in the other, punishing her to go to the Tongue-Pulling Hell to suffer the pain of having her tongue pulled out.
She hadn't slept well all night and her head was aching.
Chen Qiangwei touched her nose guiltily as she looked at the man with the mouth shut. Well, he scared her too much.
"Sixth Aunt, I'm here to tell you how to resolve this matter."
