Chapter 91: Going to the Countryside as Educated Youth in the 1970s 55
Jiaqi carefully grabbed He Jiahui and took him to a secluded corner. He lowered his voice and asked, "Jiahui, are you pretending to be like this to deceive us, or are you really being beaten by a ghost?"
Jiaqi only asked this out of curiosity, but Jiahui had deeper thoughts.
Feudal superstition is a bad habit. Anyone who dares to spread such remarks will be severely criticized and punished.
Jiahui had no choice but to act cautiously and said to Jiaqi helplessly, "Haha, Jiaqi, I actually fooled you! All of this was just a lie I made up. How could there be real ghosts in this world?"
Jiaqi kicked him and cursed, "Are you fucking sick? You can even think of such a dirty trick just to get close to my sister-in-law. Brother Jiayi is right, you've really gone too far. You'd better not have such thoughts again. I'll be back in a few days. I know I'm afraid I'll beat you up. The old clan leader and the elders love you the most. Besides, the clan leader and the young clan leader are my grandfather and father, they won't stand up for you."
Jiaqi left immediately after he finished speaking.
As soon as Jiaqi left, He Jiahui was hit in the stomach by an invisible robot again.
Jiahui's eyes widened in horror, his stomach suddenly hit by an invisible force. He bent over in pain, holding his stomach tightly with both hands. His face turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He tried to see what had attacked him, but there was nothing around him and he didn't know when or where the next attack would come.
Jiahui's breathing became rapid, and he felt his body trembling. He tried to stand up, but the pain prevented him from doing so. He could only collapse to the ground, groaning in pain.
He Jiahui lifted up his clothes and looked at his stomach. There was no bruise at all.
The invisible robot whispered in a sinister tone, "I'll give you seven days to leave the He family, or I'll kill you."
He Jiahui endured the pain and returned to the fields. His farm tools had been given to someone else by Jiayi, who had unexpectedly asked him to spray pesticides.
He lowered his head silently, his eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness. However, when he raised his head, his eyes were calm.
Now, everyone knew that Jiayi didn't like He Jiahui. Although they usually hated Jiayi for deducting their dividends, between Jiayi and Jiahui, they stood on Jiayi's side.
From that day on, the work Jiayi assigned to Jiahui was the hardest and most tiring.
Jiayi's plan was to force him to leave quickly and not let him get close to Zhang Xiaojia slowly.
Zhang Xiaojia's plan accidentally coincided with Jiayi and the others'.
Zhang Xiaojia and Jiayi stood on a hidden tree, watching He Jiahui comforting the crying Yanyan through binoculars.
Zhang Xiaojia complained, "Your plan is to make him do heavy work, bully him, and make him feel resentful? And let Yanyan be a poor little thing who was bullied, exploited, and abused by me, hiding away and crying, so that He Jiahui can get close to her, comfort her, and use her, right?"
Jiayi smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is really smart. We asked him to haul fertilizer today, and we had already informed him in advance. But this guy was the only one who carried 50 bags of fertilizer onto the tractor. He called my second uncle to complain, and he gave him a good scolding. He then called his mother and told her about the hemostatic medicine, and she told him to do everything he could to get it back before the 22nd."
"Why take it back before the 22nd?" Zhang Xiaojia asked puzzledly.
Jiayi smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone, "Fifth Uncle had already informed Second Uncle of He Jiahui's purpose in approaching you—to obtain the hemostatic formula. So, Second Uncle and his political commissar acted decisively and reported the matter directly to the higher-ups. Not only that, they also reported Second Uncle's wife's affair and that Second Aunt and her mistress had placed several so-called 'books' in Second Uncle's study to frame him. Currently, Second Uncle is slated for a promotion on the 20th of this month, but the official announcement is on the 22nd. I speculate that He Jiahui and his mother may be planning to give the hemostatic formula to his competitor before his promotion, thereby hindering his path to advancement."
Zhang Xiaojia was speechless and asked, "Did He Er marry that woman by force?"
Jiayi snorted coldly, "It was that woman who pursued Second Uncle. Second Uncle said it doesn't matter who he marries, he'll marry anyone who's pretty. One of them was attracted by Second Uncle's ability, while Second Uncle was attracted by her beauty. They're both the same and don't take marriage seriously."
"Your wife has been cheating on you for 18 years, and your uncle has no reaction at all?"
"Who knows? Second uncle is the dumbest!"
Zhang Xiaojia said coldly, "Shouldn't you inform me before asking Yanyan to act? I am her master, the master of heaven, earth, emperor, and parents."
He Jiayi pretended not to hear and continued with the following plan, "Sister-in-law, He Jiahui will definitely come back with Yanyan later. You can take this opportunity to get angry and scold Yanyan."
Zhang Xiaojia jumped down from the tree and returned to the clinic.
He Xinyan was crying silently here. Whenever she thought of the past, she would hide and cry. When she was a child, she was always the slowest to memorize the He family rules. Others could memorize them in one go, but she would take two or three days, and was always laughed at.
Her mother passed away less than a year after giving birth to her. She grew up with her great aunt. Her cousin was nice to her, but she couldn't take her great aunt away from her, otherwise her cousin would be unhappy. She was very envious of her cousin.
Whenever I think of my elder brother saying that my mother died of illness because she was weak when giving birth to her, tears start to flow.
Only the master treated her the best. Although the master was a little willful and spoiled, she would remember whatever she said. The master said that she was his only disciple and all the others he would teach would be students.
When He Jiahui came to collect firewood, he saw He Xinyan crying. He turned his eyes, walked over, sat opposite her, handed her a handkerchief, and said, "Yanyan, what's wrong?"
He Xinyan finally waited for him and cried even more sadly, saying, "Master, she... "
He Xinyan originally wanted to say something bad about her master, but after thinking for a long time, she just couldn't say it. No matter how good her master was, she couldn't even pretend to scold her master. She cried even harder in desperation.
He Jiahui hurriedly comforted her, "Yan Yan, don't cry, I understand."
When He Xinyan heard this, she said in a crying voice, "You know nothing!" Then she started to sob again.
He Jiahui was a little confused by the retort, but he still coaxed her patiently: "I really understand. Please stop crying, okay? Tell me what happened."
He Xinyan sobbed and whispered, "My master accepted me as her apprentice only for my uncle's (He Wu's) sake. She didn't want to accept me as her apprentice at all. She originally wanted to accept Weiwei as her apprentice."
After listening to this, He Jiahui pondered for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "You are such a silly girl. Actually, you don't have to worry so much. Zhang Xiaojia has accepted you as her apprentice for the sake of your fifth uncle. You just need to study hard, learn her skills well, and respond to her with your sincerity. As for other things, let nature take its course."
He Xinyan listened and nodded thoughtfully, feeling much better. She wiped her tears, looked at He Jiahui gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiahui."
He Jiahui smiled and touched her head, saying, "You're welcome. We are brother and sister. Okay, stop crying, or your eyes will swell up like peaches, which won't look good."
He Xinyan burst into laughter, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
The two returned to the clinic together, and He Xinyan felt much better.
Zhang Xiaojia came out, took out the test paper and said to He Xinyan coldly, "Where have you been? I don't know if you have an exam today? Take the test paper and take the exam. If you don't do well, you're doomed."
He Xinyan looked at the test paper in her hand. She didn't need to recall anything, tears really came down. Such a thick stack of test papers?
After glancing at He Jiahui, He Jiahui immediately said to Zhang Xiaojia, "Doctor Zhang, no one would use a piece of paper that's almost as thick as a book as an exam paper? Aren't you taking this opportunity to embarrass Yanyan?"
After saying that, seeing He Xinyan looking at him gratefully, He Jiahui continued, "Yanyan came here to study medicine, not to be bullied by you."
Zhang Xiaojia yelled directly at He Xinyan, "Are you planning to be a doorman here? Why don't you take the test paper and do it?"
Yanyan was so scared that she ran away.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at He Jiahui coldly and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to work. If you are not sick, don't come to the clinic. Get out~"
He Jiahui had never been treated like this before. He was so angry that his eyes turned red and he left without looking back.
In the next few days, Zhang Xiaojia continued to ask the invisible robot to report the countdown to He Jiahui and hit him a few times.
The tasks Jiayi assigned to He Tianhui became more and more outrageous, making He Jiahui look humiliated. His brothers, who were of the same generation as him, looked on coldly and bullied him.
With He Xinyan's deliberate efforts, the relationship between He Jiahui and her developed rapidly.
He Jiahui came up the mountain with a pack of sandwich cookies. Seeing He Xinyan sitting there again, he quickly ran up, handed the cookies to Yanyan, and said gently, "Yanyan, why are you unhappy again?"
He Xinyan pouted and said, "Master took Ping'an, Pangpang and Xiaoyi out of the province again, leaving me alone. Every time he kept me and wouldn't let me go."
Opportunity~ He Jiahui said directly, "It's okay, I'll come and accompany you when I'm free."
Yanyan said with anticipation, "Really?" Then she said dejectedly, "How is that possible? You have to go to work and don't have time to accompany me."
He Jiahui smiled and said, "Yan Yan, don't worry! I will definitely find a way to go tomorrow."
