Chapter 41 Conflict Escalates



When Wang Yue'e returned from the hospital, her heartache was worse than her foot pain.

She recently gave all the money she earned from digging herbs to the hospital, and even lost more than ten yuan.

That day, she followed Li Dazhu's advice and went to dig kudzu root. Before she reached her destination, her leg was caught by a clamp. It was a big clamp, probably used to catch wild boars.

She fainted on the spot from the pain.

After waking up, she went to the hospital, which was where Li Dazhui sent her. I heard that her husband even treated her to a bowl of noodles to thank Li Dazhui for his kindness.

Wang Yue'e was so angry. She felt that this was Li Dazhu's idea and that he was the one who framed her.

Those clips might have been put there by Li Dazhu himself.

Wang Yue'e's leg was seriously injured and she kept lying in bed groaning. Coupled with the dark atmosphere of Li Dazhuo, she felt her leg hurt even more.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Hehua didn't go to school and stayed at home to take care of her mother and younger brother.

When Wang Yue'e saw the lotus, she remembered how hard she had worked to collect herbs, and her chest felt choked up again.

"What sin have I committed? I saved up this little money with great difficulty. It's all because of that Li Dazhu!"

If she still can't figure it out now, all of Wang Yue'e's intrigues over the years will be in vain.

After knowing Li Dazhu's thoughts, Wang Yue'e was so angry that she didn't even eat lunch and lay in bed thinking about countermeasures.

Since he wanted to snatch Mu Ruanruan from Dai Xiaohu, she would never let him succeed.

That day, when Dai Xiaohu came to visit her with some fruits, she scolded him severely and ordered him to resolve the Sun Lili issue immediately.

"Don't think I don't know. You're hesitating because you want to have your cake and eat it, too. Look at you, you're such a stubborn person. After you've finished this, are you still worried about not having any fish?"

Dai Xiaohu understood what Wang Yue'e meant, and after repeated assurances, he immediately went over and broke off all ties with Sun Lili.

Let Wang Yue'e rest assured and arrange the next things.

Wang Yue'e stayed in bed at home for five days without calling a doctor or going for a follow-up checkup. Instead, she asked Mu Ruanruan to help change the medicine several times.

Mu Ruanruan refused in her heart, but Wang Yue'e's legs recovered very well. After three or five days, scabs had formed on them.

She didn't say anything else.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, Wang Yue'e appeared in the field with a cane.

She brought a stool and a scorebook, sat on the edge of the field, counted the number of workers, and recorded it in the scorebook.

Li Dazhu and his son were also working.

Li Dazhu was draining the water and Li Sanqiang was weeding.

Not far away, the rice has begun to form ears, and the green rice fields will provide the livelihood of the entire village for the coming year.

It is currently the off-season for farming, and many people have been asked to work on repairing reservoirs and roads.

In a production team in Shangshui Village, only a few laborers were left working in the fields, draining the rice, removing weeds, spraying pesticides, etc.

"Dazhu, come here." Wang Yue'e greeted Li Dazhu in a businesslike tone.

Li Dazhu put down his hoe and walked to Wang Yue'e.

"That's not how you do your job. If you keep doing it this way, none of us will have anything to eat next year."

Li Dazhu didn't understand. He did the same thing every year and no one said he was doing it wrong.

"How come I've been working for so long and still feel like I'm getting worse?"

Li Dazhu said, "What's wrong with my job? I've been responsible for drainage every year, and the rice has been growing well."

Wang Yue'e was furious when she thought that he was the one who had caused her leg to fall.

"I told you a few words, and you talked back." Wang Yue'e put the scorebook aside and pointed at Li Dazhu's work. "You have to dig it again. You did a job like this, and you still have the nerve to talk back. A three-year-old can do better than you."

He, Li Dazhu, had no chance of getting away with it as he had made her spend so much money and suffer pain for so many days.

In addition to the responsibility of keeping scores, the scorer is also responsible for supervising and reviewing the quality of everyone's work.

Work points are not given just for starting work. If you don’t do your job well, your work points will be deducted.

Li Dazhu had his work points deducted that morning.

He came forward and argued for a long time, but couldn't win the argument with Wang Yue'e.

Li Sanqiang coughed beside him, and Li Dazhu fell silent and followed Li Sanqiang back home.

In the following days, Li Dazhu seemed like a different person. When faced with Wang Yue'e's nitpicking, he kept silent and sometimes even said "OK" with a smile.

However, Wang Yue'e did not restrain herself because of this.

This continued until the rice turned golden.

The weather gets cooler and the days get shorter.

When I went to work in the morning, it was still light and early autumn was already spreading the cold.

Wang Yue'e's leg is almost healed, but in order to show her hard work and difficulty, she still uses a crutch.

Everyone had been working in the fields for quite a while before Wang Yue'e limped over.

When she came, Li Dazhu had been busy for a while and happened to stand up to rest.

"Hey, Li Dazhu, you're being lazy."

Wang Yue'e seemed to have become accustomed to Li Dazhu's non-resistance, and even began to forget what kind of person he was before.

Everyone gradually felt that Wang Yue'e was going too far. Sometimes when Li Dazhu was really caught being lazy, everyone also felt that Wang Yue'e was looking for trouble.

Originally, Li Dazhu didn't work very hard, and the villagers usually had a lot of complaints about him. But now, his tolerance in front of Wang Yue'e has turned his reputation around.

"Scorer, I'm not slacking off. Can't I take a break if I'm tired?"

Someone in the crowd spoke up for Li Dazhu.

Li Dazhu looked at Wang Yue'e, unable to suppress his smile and his proud provocation.

"Scorer Wang." Li Dazhu said.

Li Sanqiang coughed again, stopping Li Dazhu from speaking.

"Okay." Li Dazhu lowered his head and started working again.

Seeing this, Wang Yue'e didn't want to take advantage of the situation anymore, so she sat on the edge of the field and looked at the sky in a depressed mood.

When everyone thought that today would be another peaceful day, the arrival of a person broke the peace.

"Auntie, it's so cold, and you're working early again."

Dai Xiaohu came riding a new bicycle.

For nearly a month, Wang Yue'e had no time to arrange a marriage for Dai Xiaohu because of her injury.

Dai Xiaohu often came to see Wang Yue'e, and the number of times he came was almost catching up with the total number of times he came in the past.

Wang Yue'e naturally knew his purpose and repeatedly assured him that this matter would be successful.

This time, Dai Xiaohu came as usual, bringing a bag of fruit. After giving it to Wang Yue'e, he exchanged a few words and left.

Wang Yue'e put the fruit at her feet with a smile, still sitting there looking up at the sky, but this time her eyes were different, filled with joy and pride.

Li Dazhu glanced at the pile of fruits from time to time, and his expression became more and more ugly.

Li Dazhu also understood what Dai Xiaohu meant, and the two of them had not given up yet.

After work, when Li Dazhu passed by Wang Yue'e, he accidentally bumped into her, and the latter rolled down the ridge and fell into a puddle.
