Seeing the blood, Wei Qiang's emotions gradually cleared up. Now he stood to the side, somewhat at a loss, staring at the departing oxcart, his feet seemingly rooted to the spot, unable to move.
Liu Weimin was even more disgusted.
"What are you still standing here for? Think about how to compensate them. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, they were indeed injured innocently."
But now, you're to complete Liu Zhiqing's task for her today. I don't need to tell you about her medical expenses, right?
Wei Qiang seemed to suddenly wake up, nodding repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, village chief, there's no problem with that. It was my fault to begin with. Liu Zhiqing was just implicated because of me, and that's only right."
Liu Weimin was exhausted. Looking at his face, he couldn't even muster the energy to be angry.
"Alright, alright, get back to work. Ugh, my brain is failing me."
Liu Weimin was furious. The autumn harvest was just around the corner, and this wasn't over yet, one thing after another.
My aversion to the educated youth grew even stronger.
Wei Qiang went to work dejectedly, and the other educated youth also pursed their lips and remained silent. Their understanding of this group of educated youth had deepened, and they couldn't help but feel annoyed. They could tell the attitude towards the educated youth just by looking at the village chief's face.
Immediately, not only Wei Qiang, but also the way they looked at Lin Dali and Li Sanshan became wary.
After work, Jian Dan and Tan Yajun met at Mingzhu's house and talked about what had happened that day. They were all somewhat speechless.
"This Liu Erhong is truly an innocent victim."
"What's going on with this group of educated youth? They've been here for three days, four days at most, and two of them are injured, and three have had accidents."
And that Wei Qiang, he seems drowsy and hasn't woken up yet.
"Don't mention that. Did you see the village chief's face today?"
Tanya Jun observed carefully.
"I was so angry when I saw it that my hands were shaking."
Mingzhu didn't go to work, but thinking about it, I can roughly imagine what the scene would be like.
"Don't you think this is a case of 'too much joy turns to sorrow'?"
A few days ago, I was so happy looking at those farm tools, especially the tractor.
"It's only been a few days, and this turn of events has already happened. He must be losing sleep!"
Simply shake your head.
"Whether they can sleep or not, I don't know. Anyway, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and with these two injuries, it's impossible for them to go to the fields to harvest, right? The village chief is definitely going to be very upset."
The topic immediately jumped to the autumn harvest.
"Yes, how fast time flies, it's harvest time again."
"This year when we go up the mountain, shall we gather more pine nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, and the like?"
Tan Yajun has now broken ties with her family and has no one else to help her; she has to fend for herself for the winter.
Simple and easy to laugh
"Sister Ya-jun, I thought you were going to talk about chestnuts."
Mingzhu also smiled.
"You, you little glutton, I know you love chestnuts the most."
This year, bring more burlap sacks or something. If you're not going too far, I can go with you and take a look.
At least I can pick up things from the ground, and I can show you things or something, right?
As he spoke, he still looked at Lin Dongfang.
“Zhouzhou can walk now, so let’s just take him somewhere else to play, so as not to cause you any trouble.”
Little Huizhou, who is just over a year old, can already walk very steadily. However, the village is only so big. When Mingzhu takes care of him, he spends most of his time at home, or at Jian Dan's or Tan Yajun's place. The relationship between the educated youth and the villagers is not very harmonious, and they rarely go to the village.
Therefore, Huizhou's activity range was not large, something Lin Dongfang naturally knew. After thinking about it...
“Okay, let’s just treat it as a trip up the mountain. But we can only stay on the outskirts. I remember there was a very open and flat area where we went last year. You can play there, and we’ll stay around it.”
Mingzhu wanted to go out for a walk, but she knew it was inconvenient to have a child with her. Hearing Lin Dongfang agree, her smile became even more genuine.
"good."
The child also stared longingly at his parents.
"Play!"
It's easy to pinch his little face.
"Little Huizhou wants to go out and play too? Do you want something delicious to eat?"
The child's eyes lit up immediately.
"Play, eat!"
The child was clever and had often gotten treats from Jian Dan. He turned around and pounced on Jian Dan, climbing up on all fours.
"Eat, eat, Auntie, good!"
As she spoke, a soft, wet mouth pressed against Simple's face.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my, you really adore your auntie. You're so young and already so good at charming girls!"
What would you like to eat, hmm?
This wasn't the first time such a scene had occurred, and Mingzhu and her husband still found it somewhat unbearable to watch. Logically speaking, with the Lin family's continuous support and Lin Dongfang's own wealth, the family had no worries about food and drink, and always had snacks. The child shouldn't be lacking anything either.
"That brat, he always acts like this whenever he sees you. He's certainly eaten his fair share of the good stuff at home, hasn't he?"
Jian Dan knew that sometimes when she was alone with her child, she would secretly feed him some illicit treats. Since the child was too young to explain, and since it was something that couldn't be done in the open, she couldn't say anything about it.
She reached into her pocket, rummaged around for something to feed the child, and made excuses as she did so.
"That's because our Zhouzhou is smart. It knows that we can eat the food at home whenever we want, and it can't run away, right, Zhouzhou?"
Besides, it was given to me by my aunt. Zhouzhou likes my aunt, doesn't she?"
The child's mouth was stuffed with something, and his cheeks were bulging.
"Porridge, porridge,"
Tanya Jun, who was standing nearby, was also amused.
"Your Zhouzhou is such a treasure."
Mingzhu rubbed her lower back.
"When they're obedient, they're a treasure; when they're disobedient, I feel like I could just punch them."
The child seemed to realize that the person was talking about him, and he snuggled closer to Jian Dan, looking up at his elderly mother warily.
When Liu Erhong returned, she was indeed one of the two wounded, one with a foot injury and the other with an arm injury.
Liu Erhong can still do some simple chores, like cooking, which isn't too difficult for her.
However, knowing he had done something wrong, Wei Qiang took on almost all the work for the two female educated youths, cooking, gathering firewood, fetching water, and even washing clothes.
He was full of energy every day, getting up early in the morning to start a fire, cook, boil water for the two girls, serve them meals, wash the dishes and pots after they finished eating, and then go to work after tidying up.
He was busy when he came back at noon, and when he came back in the evening, he had to wash clothes, gather firewood, fetch water, and even if Chu Rou had other requests, he would do them with great enthusiasm.
Lin Dali and Li Sanshan were initially confused. Wei Qiang had never been so attentive and dedicated to them.
I quickly realized that this kind of person is impossible to persuade. He has his own values, and he feels that doing things personally is more sincere than others think that can be done in another way.
As a result, the two people became even more distant from him, both feeling that he was really clueless.
The days passed by in Wei Qiang's fulfilling life. The two female educated youths were just recovering from their injuries when the important autumn harvest began in the village.
