Lu Chaoli, who was squatting in front of Jiang Li, looked up at her and said he was going to check her foot injury.
"I'm fine, I just sprained it. It will be fine in one night."
Jiang Li bent down and grabbed Lu Chaoli's hand, stopping his movements and pulling him up.
The worry that was evident in Lu Chaoli's eyes was not concealed at all. Seeing this, Tiezhu, Zhao Congwen and others immediately had a bold guess in their minds.
The person the boss cares about is another female educated youth.
This, this, this, could this person in front of them be their sister-in-law? !
After thinking of this possibility, several people calmly moved towards Jiang Li, who had her back to them, wanting to see her true face!
Just now, they were all focused on finding someone, and they didn't really see the real face of the sister- in-law! Watching their actions, Hu Zi stood there without moving, grinning and laughing foolishly.
Tiezhu and the others haven't met his sister-in-law yet, but he went to the town with his sister-in-law in a bullock cart today! Seeing the worry in Lu Chaoli's eyes, Jiang Li smiled at him comfortingly: "I'm really fine, I just sprained my ankle, I'll be fine tomorrow."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, she turned around and looked at everyone, with a grateful look on her face, "Thank you all for your hard work today. You came with us so late at night. Now that we have found the person, let's go back and have dinner."
The moment Jiang Li turned around, Tie Zhu and others who were taking small steps quietly also saw her face clearly.
Several people suddenly widened their eyes. Their eldest sister-in-law was so pretty! Standing together with the eldest brother, they were a perfect match!
"As I should. We are all villagers of Taohua Village. Now that the person has been found, I will go back first and tell my father so that he can rest assured!"
Daqing smiled innocently, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to Taohua Village along the same route he came.
"Then we'll leave first."
The others said hello and followed Daqing away.
"Jiayi, where are you hurt? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have quarreled with you!"
Looking at Liu Jiayi’s pale face, Li Zhixiu felt remorseful.
Liu Jiayi shook her head: "I'm fine, it's not your fault."
At this point, Liu Jiayi's temper has been temporarily smoothed out, and she no longer blames Li Zhixiu for everything.
"Come on, let's go back to the Youth Institute and I'll apply some medicine on you."
Li Zhixiu supported Liu Jiayi and limped forward. After just two steps, Liu Jiayi broke out in cold sweat due to the pain.
"Comrade Xiao Liu, let me carry you back!"
Seeing this, Lin Jieye came to Liu Jiayi and bent down. Liu Jiayi subconsciously looked at Zhou Guoqing in front of her, but Zhou Guoqing stood there with no intention of going forward to carry her, and didn't even look at her.
Liu Jiayi bit her lower lip. She couldn't show any strength at this moment. Finally, she had to lie on Lin Jieye's back and let him carry her.
Li Zhixiu glanced at Liu Jiayi, then turned to look at Xu Yuanyuan and Jiang Li: "Xiao Jiang and Xiao Xu, thank you so much for today."
"It's okay, go back and help her take care of her wound."
Li Zhixiu nodded and quickly caught up with Lin Jieye in front of him.
"Xiao Jiang, are you okay?"
Although Jiang Li said she just sprained her ankle, the worry in Xu Yuanyuan's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"It's okay, let's go back too."
Jiang Li grabbed the hand that Xu Yuanyuan extended to her.
Most of the villagers had left, only Lu Chaoli's brothers and Zhou Guoqing were still standing there.
"Thank you for what you did today. It's getting late, so you should go back and have dinner."
Jiang Li nodded, took Xu Yuanyuan's hand and walked towards the mountain road ahead.
Because she sprained her ankle, Jiang Li walked with one side higher than the other. Anyone could see that she was walking very uncomfortably.
"Boss, let's go too."
Tiezhu, Huzi and others came to Lu Chaoli and followed his gaze to see Jiang Li limping in front of him. If they still had doubts before, they were now basically certain.
This Comrade Xiao Jiang is their sister-in-law! After walking behind Jiang Li for a while, Lu Chaoli couldn't stand it anymore. He caught up with Jiang Li in front of him and squatted directly in front of Jiang Li.
"Come up."
Jiang Li was stunned and waved her hands quickly: "No, I'm really fine."
Lu Chaoli pursed his lips tightly, squatted on the ground and looked back at Jiang Li: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, come up, I'll carry you back."
Lu Chaoli showed a look of determination that would not concede refusal, and secretly blamed himself for letting go too early, causing Jiang Li to get hurt.
"Xiao Jiang, let Comrade Xiao Lu carry you back. It's still a long way to the Youth League Institute. At this speed, we may have to walk until midnight."
Xu Yuanyuan pushed Jiang Li's arm and became the strongest assist.
Jiang Li finally bent down and lay on Lu Chaoli's broad back, hugging his neck tightly with her arms.
Lu Chaoli put his arm around Jiang Li's knees and stood up from the ground effortlessly.
Looking at the two people walking in the front, Xu Yuanyuan, Tiezhu and others were all laughing secretly, only Zhou Guoqing had a very dark face. However, Lu Chaoli's side had a lot of people, and they were all tall and strong. He didn't dare to say a word at all, and could only follow at the back with a sullen look.
To Lu Chaoli, Jiang Li on his back weighed nothing at all. He took big steps and came to the door of the Youth League Institute with a nimble step, then gently put Jiang Li on the ground.
Lu Chaoli turned to look at Jiang Li and said, "Move your ankle a little when you get back. If it still hurts tomorrow, ask Uncle Zhang in the village to help you twist your ankle."
Uncle Zhang in the village can set bones. Usually, anyone in the village who sprains an injury will go to Uncle Zhang's house.
Jiang Li nodded slightly: "I understand, you can go back soon."
Looking at the strands of hair stuck to Jiang Li's forehead due to sweat, Lu Chaoli subconsciously raised his hand and tucked her hair behind her ears.
When he reacted, he realized what he had done. He immediately withdrew his hand as if he had touched a hot potato, and hurried to look at the expression on Jiang Li's face.
But Jiang Li didn't care. She looked up at Lu Chaoli and said helplessly, "I seem to owe you a favor again."
Lu Chaoli breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I'll owe it to you first and pay it back in one lump sum when the time comes."
"Boss!"
"Xiao Jiang!"
Xu Yuanyuan and others caught up.
"Boss, you are amazing. You can walk so fast while carrying someone on your back!"
Tiezhu came to Lu Chaoli and joked, without mentioning the fact that they deliberately slowed down their pace to give the eldest brother and sister-in-law a chance to be alone.
"It's getting late, Comrade Xiao Jiang, please go back soon. We will go back too."
Lu Chaoli didn't even give Tiezhu and Jiang Li a chance to talk to each other. After he finished speaking, he put his arms around his neck and turned around.
Xu Yuanyuan walked up and looked at Jiang Li with a teasing look on her face: "Xiao Jiang, let's go back too."
The two of them walked towards the educated youth institute, and ignored Zhou Guoqing who was following behind them.
After walking out of the Youth Institute, Tiezhu looked at Lu Chaoli beside him with a smile, coughed twice and said in the same tone as before: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, come on up, I'll carry you back."
