Chapter 24 My brother is coming back?
The two people on the ridge of the field were stunned.
Yang Yuejin was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "This, this little idiot from the Wen family, isn't he stupid anymore?"
Hu Tiezhu swallowed his saliva and stared at Lu Jinkun blankly, "Brother Kun, you didn't already know that the Wen family's little fool is not stupid, right?"
Lu Jinkun didn't answer, but turned and walked towards the road leading into the mountain. "We've seen enough fun, it's time to go up the mountain."
Hu Tiezhu chased after him curiously and asked, "Brother Kun, tell us quickly, when did you discover that the Wen family's little fool was not stupid?"
Yang Yuejin was also curious and moved closer to listen.

In the clinic, the village barefoot doctor first disinfected Lin Jiayue's wound and then bandaged it.
Then he disinfected Wen Sining. He looked at the iron nails on the table and frowned.
"This rusty iron nail is poisonous when it pierces the flesh. If it's not treated in time, it will cause infection, which is very troublesome."
Wen Sining leaned in Xu Zhiyi's arms, sobbing.
Xu Zhiyi asked the doctor with concern, "Now that the wound has been disinfected, will it get infected again?"
"It's hard to say. It's best to rest for a while." After the doctor bandaged Wen Sining, he asked, "This nail looks like it was used to build a wooden house. How did it end up in the field?"
The barefoot doctor's words quickly caught the captain's attention, and he asked someone to go to the brigade headquarters to get the parts box on the table.
When Lin Jiayue heard this, she panicked and tried to get out of bed. "I, I'm fine now. I'll go home and rest for two days."
The captain noticed that something was wrong with Lin Jiayue and ordered someone to stop her.
Lin Jiayue saw the two female educated youth standing nearby and quickly said to them, "Didn't you just say you would testify for me?"
"Hurry up and tell me, I'm innocent, this is all Wen Yan's attempt to frame me!"
Lin Jiayue pulled their arms and forced them to speak.
The two female educated youth were so frightened that they stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word for a long time.
They saw what happened yesterday, but they are not stupid.
Lin Jiayue brought them out at this time, and she was not talking about what happened yesterday. She wanted them to commit perjury!
Just now they heard with their own ears that Lin Jiayue said she placed six nails. It was obvious who was the culprit behind this incident.
They don't want to get involved in this mess.
Soon Zhao Lusheng arrived, and with him came the villagers who had gone to the brigade headquarters to get the spare parts box.
Team leader Li Li took over the parts grid, opened the box full of nails, poured out all the nails, and began counting in front of everyone.
He counted them and said, "These are the leftover nails from when we built the tool shed. I put them all here. These parts and tools are public property. I've counted them all and kept a record."
"They've been here for so long that they've all rusted. They look just like the other six nails. I'll know if they were taken from here by counting them."
After Li Li finished speaking, he counted the nails carefully.
There was a full box of nails, and there looked to be dozens of them. He counted them very quickly and asked someone to bring the notebook after he finished counting.
Opening the notebook, the quantity of each part is clearly recorded on it.
"There are seventy-eight nails in total. I just counted them here, and there are only seventy-two left, six less."
Zhao Lusheng roughly understood the situation from Li Li's words.
He asked Lin Jiayue: "Lin Zhiqing, did you really take this nail?"
Lin Jiayue suddenly knelt on her knees, she burst into tears and pleaded bitterly: "Village Chief, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to teach her a lesson. It was Wen Yan who caused me to do that yesterday. You all didn't believe me. I was so angry that I did this."
Zhao Lusheng looked at Lin Jiayue with disappointment in his eyes. "We are very happy and respectful that you, the educated youth from the city, can come to our village. But on your second day in the village, you have started bullying our villagers. We will never tolerate this."
The captain asked Zhao Lusheng, "Old Zhao, how do you think we should handle this? I'm afraid I can't accommodate her here anymore. If I ignore her, I won't be able to explain to everyone else."
When Lin Jiayue heard this, she was stunned and cried and begged, "Village Chief, Uncle Zhao, please don't chase me away. I promise I will never do this again."
Zhao Lusheng sighed and finally said, "Lin Zhiqing, you go work at the farm. During this time, I will have people finish building the Zhiqing settlement as soon as possible. When the time comes, the Zhiqing will live here, and everyone will start their own business and be busy with their own affairs."
This was the biggest concession Zhao Lusheng had ever made.
Lin Jiayue also understood that this was the best way out, so she said nothing more.
The matter was resolved and everyone went back to their own business.
Wen Sining comforted Xu Zhiyi, saying that he could do it and let her go about her business.
After everyone had left, Zhao Lusheng walked up to Wen Sining, carefully observed her injuries, and then took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Wen Sining.
"This is your brother's reply. He said he has been promoted to battalion commander and has taken his annual leave. He is planning to come back and take you with him."
Wen Sining was delighted, "Grandpa, village chief, my brother is coming back?"
Zhao Lusheng smiled and nodded, then took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Here are the notes Huang Juan has collected from your brother over the years. Your brother sent fifty yuan every month. After deducting expenses and the money he promised to Huang Juan, he has about thirty yuan left every month. Over the years, the total is five hundred and twenty yuan. Please keep it."
Wen Sining stared at the banknotes in disbelief, "Grandpa Village Chief, are these the banknotes Huang Juan returned to me?"
"Yes, I told her that if she returned the money, she wouldn't be charged with corruption. Otherwise, when Wen Yun comes back, I'm afraid she'll be sentenced to life imprisonment. Huang Juan was afraid of your brother, so she thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so she asked her family to gather the money."
"Although this charge has been dropped, the charges of abusing you and selling her own niece remain. She will still be sentenced."
Hearing this, Wen Si Ning breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she couldn't get out, otherwise she was afraid that Huang Juan would be vengeful.
"Just stay home and take care of your leg. Use this money to have Xu Zhiqing buy some food from the village supply and marketing cooperative. I think Xu Zhiqing is a good person, and I'll be relieved to have her help take care of you. If you need anything, ask the aunt next door to come to me, and I'll take care of it for you."
Wen Sining nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, I have Sister Xu to take care of me, there will be no problem."
After explaining everything, Zhao Lusheng left with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Xu Zhiyi specifically instructed the doctor to let Wen Sining rest in the clinic and take her back after work.
Wen Sining didn't dare to act rashly and waited obediently in the clinic for Xu Zhiyi to come back.
It was not until dark that Xu Zhiyi finally arrived.
