"Yueyue, I called home today and asked about my third cousin. Grandpa said he hasn't been found yet. I also asked him what illness he had when he was a child. Grandpa said it was heart disease, something he was born with."
Back in the clinic, Chu Xun said as he prepared a bath.
Li Xiyue was picking at the roasting sweet potatoes in front of the stove when she heard this and a flash of inspiration struck her.
Congenital heart disease?
Isn't this exactly the same as Ye Tian's?
Really?
"What's wrong?" Chu Xun asked, noticing her strange expression.
Li Xiyue used the tongs to take out all the sweet potatoes and set them aside to cool. She patted the ash off her hands and said, "I thought of someone, Ye Tian from the pharmaceutical research institute. He was born with a heart condition, and he said that he was abandoned by his family when he was a child, and later kidnapped by human traffickers and ended up in an orphanage."
"Ye Tian?" Chu Xun frowned. "I'll call home tomorrow and ask Yi Cheng to check if it's him."
After washing up and turning off the light, I went to bed. The night gradually quieted down, and even the insects got tired of chirping and their sounds gradually stopped.
In the girls' dormitory of the educated youth settlement, two women tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Xue Min became increasingly angry because she couldn't stand the work in the pigsty.
She fell into pig manure today and took several showers afterward, but she still felt a foul odor on her body.
She's not clean anymore, boohoo.
She's a perfectly healthy person, in the prime of her life. Is she really going to waste her whole life on a pile of pig manure?
She was unwilling to accept this situation; she didn't want to continue like this.
She'd had enough!
Tian Lingling couldn't sleep either. She was worried about money. No matter what, she would never marry Wang Shigen, that old bachelor.
She has already written home, asking her family to send her money, hoping they will receive the letter soon and rescue her from her misery.
The two didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, but they hadn't slept long before the reveille sounded, forcing them to get up with difficulty and begin their miserable workday.
"Tian Zhiqing, you'll be working in the pigsty today," Xu Dawei said to Tian Lingling after assigning tasks to the others.
Zhou Yunxia wrote Tian Lingling's name in the work points book.
Go work in the pigsty? Wouldn't that make me smell like Xue Min?
"Go ahead." Seeing that she didn't move, Xu Dawei's tone became sharper. "You did such a scandalous thing, the brigade was already being lenient by not sending you to the farm immediately. You're not even willing to clean the pigsty?"
That night, Tian Lingling decided to pay Wang Shigen compensation. One hundred yuan was not a small amount, so the brigade leader gave her a few days to raise the money.
After she raises enough money to settle things with Wang Shigen, the brigade will hold another meeting to discuss her final punishment.
However, given the severity of her offense, even if she isn't reported to the police and arrested, she will most likely be sent to a farm.
She should be grateful that she can still stay in the village; in a few days, she won't have such good days anymore.
Tian Lingling gritted her teeth and left reluctantly.
Xu Dawei spat in disgust. If it weren't for her, his cousin wouldn't have stayed in the pigsty, and he wouldn't have been scolded by the brigade leader. It was all that shameless woman's fault. He wouldn't let her get away with it.
"Zhou Jigong, keep an eye on her. If you don't keep a close eye on her, come and tell me, and I'll deal with her!"
"Yes, Vice Captain." Zhou Yunxia couldn't have been happier.
If it weren't for Huang Xinrui, she wouldn't have gotten the job as a project manager. She remembered Huang Xinrui's kindness, and since Tian Lingling had harmed Huang Xinrui, she naturally wanted to help Huang Xinrui get revenge.
Tian Lingling, you just wait.
"Ouch, this leech!" Wang Cuihua was weeding in the rice paddy when she felt an itch on her ankle. She lifted her foot and saw a round leech. She pulled it off and was about to throw it away.
