Yunling rolled her eyes and let out a snort, disliking people who take their anger out on others for no reason and who look fierce and menacing.
She turned to leave, but then heard a voice behind her call out, "Don't go!"
She ignored it completely and walked away with a flourish!
Qian Mingjuan's eyes reddened with anger. Her finger trembled as she pointed at the figure of that little bitch, and she said in a trembling voice, "Deputy Captain, look at her! Isn't she just so arrogant because she's the captain's daughter-in-law?"
Zhou Yan's lips twitched!
What, are you still trying to sow discord and make me bring down the captain!
I'm not crazy!
There are so many things going on in Yunxi Brigade. Everyone can start arguing with each other when they meet, like cross-eyed idiots. It's exhausting. Who would want to be a captain like that?
The vice-captain is so nice; he can avoid things whenever he wants and doesn't have to do anything.
Seeing Zhou Yan's expression, Qian Mingjuan knew that her attempt to sow discord had failed. She cursed him inwardly, thinking, "What a spineless coward! No wonder he's always been dominated by others."
After applying the medicine, Dr. Jiang noticed her eyes darting around and, fearing she might cause trouble again, quickly said, "Alright, Captain Zhou, hurry up and arrange for someone to carry her back!"
The onlookers, seeing that there was no more juicy gossip, had mostly left. Those who remained looked around upon hearing this and realized they didn't know anyone they were close to.
Those who didn't want to help quickly slipped away.
The remaining few were stopped by Zhou Yan.
Zhao Chunyan said with a wry smile, "Mingjuan, I can help you, but you can't falsely accuse us or extort money from us."
A middle-aged woman, who had been pulled aside by Zhao Chunyan, nodded in agreement, but looked at Qian Mingjuan with suspicion.
Qian Mingjuan: ...
I'm so angry!
She was clearly the one being framed and extorted.
Zhou Yan took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I'll be following behind."
Zhao Chunyan clapped her hands and said, "That's good!"
The two men helped Qian Mingjuan up. With a hiss, they exclaimed, "This woman looks so thin and weak, how come she's so heavy, like a mountain!"
"No wonder you always give your brother things, your family's food is too good!"
Zhao Chunyan was a little envious; in these days, families who could afford to eat their fill were considered upper-class.
I can't tell!
The Zhao family is so well-off!
Qian Mingjuan chuckled twice and sneered, "Are you blind? I'm so thin, you can see my bones."
Zhao Chunyan wanted to throw her away, but with Captain Zhou there, she could only purse her lips and say, "I didn't realize you were so heavy."
Qian Mingjuan said irritably, "I think you're just looking for trouble!"
“I think it’s heavy too!” said the middle-aged woman on the other side. “Mingjuan, your frame is larger, so you are heavier than the average person.”
Qian Mingjuan rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay any attention.
Back home, she directed two people to put her down and said, "Chunyan, could you please find my mother-in-law? I can't move right now."
Zhao Chunyan said with a half-smile, "You really know how to boss people around!"
Qian Mingjuan rarely praised someone like that, saying, "It's because you're such a good person."
Zhao Chunyan thought for a moment, and since she had nothing else to do at the moment, she said, "Okay, I'll go find it for you!"
I picked an eggplant from the market I passed by the courtyard as payment for my journey.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Captain Zhou and quickly went up to him to ask for credit, saying, "I saw that no one was at the Zhao family's house, so I'll go and help Mingjuan find her mother-in-law."
Captain Zhou nodded and forced a smile, saying, "That's how we should help each other!"
Zhao Chunyan smiled and ran through most of the village before finally finding Grandma Qian Mingjuan, who was chatting leisurely under a big tree at the west end of the village.
She said, panting, "Your daughter-in-law injured her foot and can't move. She asked me to call you back."
Old Mrs. Zhao said unwillingly and unhappily, "You only know to call me when you need me, but why don't you inform me when you're moving your things to your parents' house?"
