Seeing that no one was around, she stopped using the stick and quietly walked out of the courtyard to the neighboring courtyard. Peeking inside, she saw Li Xiyue holding hands with a man as they entered the house.
The man was tall and handsome, strong and robust, much taller than Xu Xiangyang. Although his face was not visible, his back view alone was enough to captivate anyone.
Who is that man? Why is he with Li Xiyue so late at night?
She's been here for almost twenty days and hasn't seen a man like this before.
"Li Zhiqing, where did you go?" At this moment, Wang Jiaxing's voice came from the educated youth settlement.
Li Muqing didn't have time to think further and hurried back.
Wang Jiaxing stood by the well. When he saw her return, he said unhappily, "Where have you been so late at night?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around outside the yard."
Seeing that she was walking nimbly, Wang Jiaxing asked, "Your leg is better now?"
"Huh?" Li Muqing then realized she had forgotten to pretend to be lame and quickly made up for it, "It's not better yet, I still can't exert any force, it hurts a lot."
Wang Jiaxing didn't believe it. "I just saw you walking very fast, without any sign of pain. Li Zhiqing, since your leg is better, you can go to work tomorrow."
Before Li Muqing could speak again, Wang Jiaxing turned and left.
Li Muqing stomped her foot in anger, but she stomped too hard and hurt her leg, which had just healed. She hugged her leg and spun around, feeling both frustrated and angry. She felt a lump in her throat and almost suffocated.
Back in the dormitory, Huang Xinrui was tidying up her closet. Li Muqing looked into the closet and saw that it contained many nice things, including sanitary napkins that could only be bought with foreign exchange certificates. Those were foreign products and very expensive.
Huang Xinrui's family looks very rich, so why would they come to this godforsaken place to work in the countryside?
"What are you looking at?" Huang Xinrui slammed the cabinet door shut and quickly locked it. "I advise you not to get any funny ideas. Zhao Xiaoli is your friend, right? When she first came here, she stole Yueyue's things and was sent to the cowshed to shovel manure."
"Xiao Li is here too?" Li Muqing was shocked. "Is she still here?"
Huang Xinrui rolled her eyes at her. "Two months ago, she was arrested for having affairs. She's probably being reformed on a farm now."
Li Muqing's heart pounded, and she sat on the bed, feeling uneasy. It took her a while to calm down. "Huang Zhiqing, your family must be very well-off. You can even afford sanitary napkins."
"It's alright. The sanitary napkins were passed down from Yueyue. Yueyue has a lot," Huang Xinrui replied while making the bed.
She only gets her period once every three months, and it only lasts for four days each time. The flow is also light, and one packet is enough for her at a time. She has some money, so she bought a few packets from Yueyue, and she hasn't finished using them yet.
Li Muqing clenched her fist, her nails digging into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain. Li Xiyue's money was originally hers, but Li Xiyue was using her money to live a good life.
Li Xiyue caused her and her brother to spend several months in the desert living a life worse than death, and also caused the death of their mother. She will settle all these scores with Li Xiyue.
She vowed to trample Li Xiyue under her feet!
Suppressing her anger, she asked casually, "There seemed to be a man over there with my sister. I heard them talking. Huang Zhiqing, you and my sister are close, do you know who he is?"
Huang Xinrui lay down, yawned, and said, "Deputy Commander Chu, Yueyue's friend."
Deputy regimental commander? Or a soldier?
"Friends? They seem to have a very close relationship."
Friends holding hands as they enter a house late at night? She didn't believe it. Li Xiyue and that man's relationship must be more than just casual.
Huang Xinrui said irritably, "Why are you asking so many questions? What's it to you? Let me tell you, don't get any funny ideas, or you'll regret it."
After she finished speaking, she ignored Li Muqing and turned over to go to sleep.
Li Muqing gritted her teeth in hatred, but dared not explode. She told herself to endure it and settle accounts with this man surnamed Huang on the day she completed her mission!
