The village chief gave the man an approving look. "Yes, Uncle Gu, the educated youth, has ordered another batch of pine nuts from us to distribute as holiday benefits to the factory workers."
"Gu Zhiqing has so many things to do. If you have a headache or fever, go to her. How can she have time to help us plan these things?"
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made perfect sense. "Yes! Village Chief, you are truly insightful. We will listen to you from now on."
"Yes! From now on, whatever you say goes. By the way, doesn't Gu Zhiqing like our local pickled cabbage? I'll send some over to her later."
“I saw her digging for wild scallions on the mountain with Zhou Zhiqing last time. I just dug up a few today and brought them with me later.”
...
Hearing everyone praising Gu An'an, Lin Qingqing could no longer stand it, her heart filled with resentment.
Why?! Why is it that she can do everything and still be liked by Xiao Yuheng?
Thinking of Xiao Yuheng, Lin Qingqing's eyes became hazy. She knew she had no chance with him and even went back to Xie Yuan.
With Xiao Yuheng as a shining example, Xie Yuan, who used to be quite good in her eyes, now seems bland and tasteless.
Even if she can't have it, Gu An'an shouldn't expect to have it either.
Lin Qingqing lowered her head and squinted, her mind racing. Even after arriving at the educated youth compound, she still couldn't come up with a good solution. But then she heard them talking about Gu An'an, which made her even more agitated.
Just as they were about to enter the room, Qian Xiaojun said, "I've never heard of her being a doctor. How come she can even cure paralysis? If I had known this earlier, I would have pursued her sooner, and my life would be so much better now."
While everyone was looking down on Qian Xiaojun's wild ideas, an idea flashed through Lin Qingqing's mind.
Yes! I've never heard of Gu An'an knowing medicine, and even if she did, why did she keep it a secret all this time? Why did she only reveal it now that she couldn't hide it anymore?
Is it possible that she is not a doctor at all, and is treating people without a medical license?
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing finally smiled again. This matter could be big or small. After all, she had saved someone, so of course the officials would not investigate unless the people complained.
But if someone reports this to higher authorities, it won't be so easy to resolve.
The villagers certainly wouldn't report her, but she could.
After thinking everything through, Lin Qingqing ate well and slept well.
"Ouch~ Ouch~"
Just as everyone was getting ready to leave for work, Lin Qingqing clutched her stomach and cried out. Zhang Zhaodi stepped forward and asked with concern, "Sister Qingqing, what's wrong?"
"My stomach hurts. Can you ask the team leader for leave for me? I can't work today. I need to go to the toilet."
Since it was a health issue, no one dared to refuse to let her see a doctor, so Zhang Zhaodi nodded in agreement without much thought.
Lin Qingqing waited in the outhouse for a while until everyone went to work before taking a detour to the commune.
"Knock knock knock".
Who is it?
Not long after, footsteps were heard inside the house, and then a man with messy hair opened the door from the inside.
"Lin Zhiqing, what brings you here?"
The man leaned lazily against the door, looking at Lin Qingqing with obvious desire in his eyes.
They've known each other for a long time. Back when Lin Qingqing went to the black market to buy things, the man saw that she was pretty and tried to flirt with her. Although Lin Qingqing eventually ran away, the man managed to find out about her.
The man had visited Xiaowang Village several times, trying both force and persuasion. He even brought Lin Qingqing some nice gifts, but unfortunately, Lin Qingqing was as shrewd as a monkey. He took the gifts but didn't get any benefits in return.
Even when he came to the commune, he was always with others, which prevented him from having a chance to make a move.
As time went on, the man lost interest and turned his attention to the young widow on the street, with whom he was now deeply in love.
Of course, this didn't stop him from wanting to take Lin Qingqing down with him.
"Brother Dong, can you let me in first?"
If someone sees her here, who knows if they'll expose her.
"Sure, of course! I'd be overjoyed if Lin Zhiqing could come."
The two entered the courtyard one after the other, and the gate was completely closed. Lin Qingqing knew that her actions were somewhat risky, but she dared not report it to the commune herself. Gu An'an was someone who had received commendations, and who knew if she might run into someone who knew her.
She didn't dare go herself, so the only person she could turn to was the one in front of her; she didn't know anyone else.
"Brother Dong, can you do me a favor?"
Dong Ge picked up a bowl of water and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls. Hearing this, he put down the bowl and asked, "Help? It's not impossible, but it depends on what kind of help you're asking for."
"Things are very simple for Dong Ge."
Lin Qingqing first flattered the other party before revealing her purpose.
“There’s someone in Xiaowang Village who doesn’t have a medical license but is treating people in the village. I don’t know how she saved someone, but now the whole village is almost treating her like a god. I think this situation is very bad. After all, she’s not a doctor. What if she harms someone in the future?”
"Brother Dong, you have many connections, who do you think we should turn to in this situation?"
Lin Qingqing looked worried and casually remarked, "I think everyone in Xiaowang Village has gone crazy. I don't know why. Is it because she's pretty?"
Dong Ge originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and then drive the person away, but this was clearly a case of using him as a pawn, and he wasn't stupid.
But when he heard Lin Qingqing say that the man was good-looking, Dong Ge got excited.
"Beautiful? How beautiful? Even more beautiful than Lin Zhiqing?"
Although Lin Qingqing cannot compare with Gu An'an and Zhou Yue, she is still considered quite good in this remote place.
In particular, her feigned aloofness gave her a different feel from other girls, making Dong Ge want to conquer her.
I heard that girl is even prettier than Lin Qingqing, so the lecherous Dong Ge couldn't help but ask her a few questions.
Lin Qingqing then revealed a jealous expression, "It's not just pretty, it's like she's a vixen."
Seeing her like this, Dong Ge became even more curious about Gu An'an, but he didn't show it at all. He touched Lin Qingqing's face and said, "Oh, are you jealous? In my opinion, Lin Qingqing is still the prettiest."
Lin Qingqing knew, of course, that men's words could be deceiving, especially someone like Dong Ge. Don't think she didn't see the fleeting glint in his eyes.
Even though she understood, her body still instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but Dong Ge grabbed her and the smile on her face disappeared.
He pulled her back and pinched Lin Qingqing's cheek with his right hand without any gentleness.
"What? You want me to help you, but you don't want to do anything in return? Do you really think Brother Dong is your pet dog?"
