Chapter 6
"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Yao glanced at Du Yuejiao coldly, then closed her eyes again.
Du Yuejiao was about to explode with anger, but she had to pretend to be innocent until the truth was revealed. She asked softly, "Yaoyao, didn't you take the medicine and go to see Zhao Pengfei that night? Did something unexpected happen on the way?"
She clearly saw Jiang Yao take the medicine. If she hadn't entered Zhao Pengfei's house that night, she would have suffered at the hands of a certain man. Men who hang out outside late at night are most likely not good people.
Although she was a little disappointed that she failed to destroy Zhao Pengfei and Du Yuejia, she would be happy if Jiang Yao was possessed by other men. This woman is beautiful, and her family is well-off. Others go hungry every day, but she can easily buy some meat to improve her diet. Why should she take all the good things?
"What medicine? What are you looking for Zhao Pengfei? I don't understand what you are talking about." Jiang Yao didn't know the answer to any of the questions.
"You..." Du Yuejiao knew that she was playing dumb. She was so angry that she said, "Jiang Yao, you clearly took an aphrodisiac that night. You didn't sleep with Zhao Pengfei the next day. You must have been fucked by some wild man."
Based on Jiang Yao's recent attitude towards her, Du Yuejiao already knew that she could no longer deceive her and gain benefits from her. In this case, she was too lazy to play the role of sisterly love with her.
Her face was ferocious, her tone was aggressive, and her words were harsh and unpleasant, enough to make this delicate young lady Jiang Yao lose her mind and blurt out everything.
But after hearing her words, Jiang Yao did not show any shame or anger on her face. Instead, she slowly and methodically got up from the bed.
Jiang Yao was tall, while Du Yuejiao was short, so although one was standing and the other was sitting, they were both able to look at her at eye level.
There was no anger in her eyes, but there was a sense of awe, staring at Du Yuejiao and making her tremble slightly. She pulled the corners of her lips and said, "What do you mean I took aphrodisiac? I'm a weak woman, where can I find such a cheap thing? Don't ruin my reputation by making up stories."
"You obviously took it. The medicine was mine..." Du Yuejiao swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"What is that medicine to you?" Jiang Yao sneered, "Did you give it to me? If so, you are..."
"No." Without waiting for Jiang Yao to accuse her of a crime, Du Yuejiao interrupted her in time, "Jiang Yao, you are lucky this time, hum..."
As she said this, Du Yuejiao was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Yao.
"I warn you, don't repeat the words about being in someone's bed or being fucked by that wild man. Otherwise, I will complain to the production team leader. If the production team leader can't help me solve the problem, I will complain to the commune and the county. Once your file is tainted, even if there is a chance to be recruited back to the city in the future, it will not be your turn."
Her voice was not loud, but she spoke each word with pauses, like a judge. For the first time, Du Yuejiao felt that this young lady, whom she had always thought was willful and brainless, was very unusual.
After that day, Du Yuejiao never spoke a word to Jiang Yao again, but she ate the meals Jiang Yao cooked every day.
Since Jiang Yao's pickled cabbage and pig's intestines became famous, everyone asked her to stay at the educated youth camp to cook every day. Life is hard enough, even if you can't change anything for the time being, at least you can treat yourself a little better.
Jiang Yao was of course happy to do so. She cooked at the educated youth camp, and the other educated youths had to give her half a centimeter of their earned centimeters every day. There were a total of twelve educated youths living at the educated youth camp, which meant that she could earn six centimeters for cooking every day.
She is not good at farm work. She can only grow six centimeters at most after being exposed to the sun for a whole day. In comparison, cooking is the best job.
Of course, she has always been strict with herself at work. Even when cooking, she tries to make it as varied as possible.
The educated youth camp raised a few chickens. When she had twelve eggs, she would use the marinade to make braised eggs, so that everyone would feel like eating meat when eating the eggs.
Seeing that the beans in the vegetable garden were almost grown, she took the beans to Aunt Tian's house to learn how to pickle them.
Sometimes when she heard that someone was making tofu, she would take one or two eggs to exchange for some tofu to change the taste.
Anyway, since taking office as the chef of the Youth League Center, everyone's opinion of Jiang Yao has been getting higher and higher.
Jiang Yao has achieved success as a chef, but she is not satisfied. After all, six centimeters of rice and 45 kilograms of food a day are far from enough. Although she has savings and subsidies from Brother Jiang, she still wants to find a way to improve her life.
In an environment where collective economy is dominant, she wanted to increase her income by developing a sideline business. Of course, this sideline business had to be developed secretly, but she lived in the educated youth camp, eating and living with everyone else, and didn't even have a room of her own. Du Yuejiao was watching her, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
Jiang Yao sighed silently to the sky, God, even if he didn't give her a golden finger, at least he gave her a way out to struggle.
“Boom…”
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside. Jiang Yao's first reaction was that it was an earthquake, and she rushed out of the house in a panic.
When she ran to the yard, she found that the ground was not shaking, but the yard suddenly became much brighter. She turned her head and saw that one side of the gate of the educated youth site had collapsed, and there was a tractor parked outside.
"Lu Zhisen, didn't you mention that you drove a tractor in the production team next door before, and you drove it very well? How come you crashed into the wall now?" Lu Dazhou said angrily, "Our team applied for the tractor with great difficulty, and you want to crash it so that you can wait a few days to pay the public grain and carry the load again, right?"
"No." Lu Zhisen was usually a little bully at home. His father had never scolded him like this. He was very unwilling to accept it. But now that he thought about the possibility of damaging the tractor, he panicked and said quickly: "I was just avoiding the pit, and I only touched the wall lightly. Who knew it was so fragile. This can't be blamed on me. It's just that the granary is too old."
Lu Dazhou was too lazy to listen to his explanation and said, "Hurry up and try to see if the tractor can still move."
"Oh." Lu Zhisen immediately returned to the tractor, but after working on it for a long time, the tractor didn't respond at all.
Lu Dazhou looked at it, his face darker than the bottom of a pot. At this time, the members nearby heard the loud noise and ran out. He randomly pointed at someone and shouted, "Hurry up and call Lu Che over."
"Why call that second-rate guy out?" Lu Zhisen immediately became unhappy.
"If I don't ask him to come out and fix the tractor, are you going to fix it yourself?" Lu Dazhou yelled directly, and Lu Zhisen didn't dare to speak at all.
"Quickly check if there is anyone inside the educated youth center." Someone in the crowd suddenly said.
Lu Dazhou just remembered this and thought to himself that it was not good. At this time, Jiang Yao came out and said, "I am the only one in the educated youth center. I am fine."
"I'm glad you're okay." Lu Dazhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then mobilized everyone to clean up the wall blocks on and around the tractor.
The members treasured this tractor very much and they did not slack off any more and joined in the "rescue" operation.
Jiang Yao also went over to help, and everyone worked together and quickly cleaned up the place, then stepped aside to wait.
"Lu Che is here!"
Jiang Yao was standing in a corner, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Che walking towards her in a hurry. He seemed to pause for a moment when he looked at her, but it was gone in a flash, so fast that she thought it was an illusion.
"Lu Che, take a quick look." Lu Dazhou patted his shoulder and said.
Lu Che nodded, and then went to check the tractor head. He brought a small tool box with him, and then took a wrench, a screwdriver and other tools to start disassembling the outer shell of the head.
"Hey, don't take it apart randomly. What if it breaks?" Lu Zhisen scolded.
When Lu Dazhou heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up, you are the one who broke the tractor now."
"That's right. Usually, when our team's farm tools and speakers break down, it's Lu Che who fixes them. If he can't fix this tractor, is there anyone else we can count on?"
"You don't have good skills yet you're trying to drive the tractor. If Lu Che can fix it, it's fine. But if he can't, you'll be the sinner of our team."
Some members stood up for Lu Che and said something that made Lu Zhisen's face turn red and then black, and then black and then red again.
Lu Che seemed to be oblivious to everything around him. He fiddled with the old and dirty tractor.
About half an hour later, the tractor started rumbling again, and the members all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Lu Dazhou was the same. He patted Lu Che on the shoulder and said, "Boy, I know you can do it. How about you drive this tractor back to the granary for me?"
Lu Che's expression remained indifferent. He shook his head, said "I don't know how to drive", and walked away with his small toolbox.
When Lu Zhisen drove the tractor back to the granary trembling with fear, Lu Dazhou was still worried. The wall of the educated youth camp could collapse with just a touch. It would be fine if no one was hurt today, but if the house collapsed when everyone was asleep one night, that would mean twelve lives were lost. He would be in prison for the rest of his life and would never be able to get out.
Lu Dazhou could no longer sit still, and immediately went to the educated youth site and said to everyone: "I'm sorry that the new educated youth site hasn't been built yet, but I really can't do anything about it. However, after what happened today, the old granary really can't be lived in anymore."
"Today and tomorrow, everyone go and talk to the villagers. It would be great if you can find someone willing to let you stay. If not, I will make arrangements then. Anyway, you all need to move out before tomorrow night."
"Also, I know that some of you are sisters, and some of you are very close, but in order not to increase the burden on farmers, do not let two or more people live in one farmer's home. Is that clear?"
"Understood."
Everyone agreed, and Lu Dazhou also went back.
After he left, everyone started a heated discussion. Jiang Yao sat in the corner, thinking alone.
Although she had no place to stay, she couldn't help but feel excited at the thought that she might have a room of her own in the future.
After finally being able to move out of this dormitory, Jiang Yao had to get herself a single room to live in. And to avoid trouble, she absolutely could not live in a top-notch home, even if there were too many people.
In order to make it easier to start a side business in the future, you can't choose a house that has a lot of people visiting it all day long. It's best to choose a family that only people come and go.
To sum up, Jiang Yao immediately identified her ideal destination.
In order to avoid being beaten to the punch by others, she felt that she should start lobbying immediately.
"Yaoyao, where are you going?" Zhu Xia asked when she saw Jiang Yao walking towards the door.
Jiang Yao lied, "I'll go get some tofu."
After leaving the educated youth center, Jiang Yao ran directly to the Lu family.
As luck would have it, she just walked to the door of Lu's house and saw Lu Che coming out. She caught him and said, "Lu Che, Captain Lu said that the educated youth site cannot have people living there, so he asked farmers to take us in. I want to stay at your house..."
She was interrupted by Lu Che before she even started to speak, "Absolutely not!"
