Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 125: A Bit Silly

Liu Lan and others understood that the extra herbs in the team medical room were sent to the collection station in the name of the brigade.

The accounts were also recorded under the general ledger, and at the end of the year, the team members would participate in the profit-sharing.

When it comes to their own interests, no one would be careless.

With many hands at work, it only took a few minutes for the previously messy yard to be restored to its original cleanliness and tidiness.

The herbs scattered on the ground were also returned to their bamboo dustpans.

Yi Chichi turned around and found Aunt Ma diligently moving the dustpans to the sunlight, and she was immediately alarmed.

"They can’t be dried under the sun."

She hurriedly moved the dustpans back under the eaves, which left Aunt Ma and others baffled.

"Why are they placed in the shade?"

"These herbs can’t be directly exposed to sunlight; they need to be aired."

Aunt Ma laughed, "Turns out we helped in the wrong way."

Well, it wasn’t that bad.

"Let’s go to the front."

After placing all the dustpans properly, Yi Chichi called Aunt Ma and others to leave.

As for Da Li, it would find a place to sleep after it’s full, without needing any care.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, a well-fed and clean Da Li returned inside, leaping gracefully onto Uncle Yaozi’s treasured rocking chair to rest with closed eyes.

Yu Qingqing glanced at it and sighed, "Uncle Yaozi didn’t marry or raise kids, only thought of raising a cat."

With these words, the room fell silent.

Yi Chichi lowered her head, pretending she hadn’t heard, while Aunt Ma sighed, "Yaozi, such a pity."

Some women are led astray by men for a lifetime, but Yaozi was messed up by a woman.

Neither seeing her in life nor death.

Recalling when Yaozi left full of confidence, only to return two years later worn out, Aunt Ma couldn’t help but feel heartache for him.

Not wanting to delve further into the topic, she asked, "What’s going on with Guan?"

As soon as these words were out, everyone looked toward Yi Chichi.

Their faces were full of curiosity.

Yi Chichi, ... indeed, the human nature of relishing gossip hasn’t changed through time.

"Acute appendicitis."

"??? Is it serious?"

"Went to the hospital."

One sentence rendered everyone silent.

Yes, since they went to the hospital, it must not be a simple minor pain or ailment.

"Will she return today?"

"Not sure."

Depends on the severity of Guan Mingyue’s appendicitis; if serious, appendectomy is needed.

"Those two friends of hers are useless."

Yu Qingqing’s comment revealed there was more to the story, prompting Liu Dongmei, who was sewing shoe soles, to look up, "Why did Yan Zhiqing and the others offend you?"

"No."

Yu Qingqing pouted, as she wasn’t familiar with them, there was nothing to be offended about.

Didn’t even get assigned to work together.

However, "Previously, I went to the small woods to collect firewood and overheard Yan Zhiqing and Ning Zhiqing planning on how to empty Guan Zhiqing’s pockets."

This was absurd.

"What did they say?"

Yi Chichi curiously pursued.

Yu Qingqing cleared her throat, "Let me mimic for you all."

Before she finished speaking, she started acting with her voice pinched.

"Tao, it’s getting hot now, I want a dress."

"Wan Mei, Tao would love to buy you a dress, but Tao has no fabric coupons."

"Xiao Yue has, Tao go and ask Xiao Yue, she likes you so much, she will surely be willing to give it to you."

At this point, she posed with both hands on her heart, "Tao, would you think I’m a bad woman, ugh..."

Aunt Ma couldn’t stand it anymore, clutching her chest with a gag reflex motion.

Not realizing the effect of her performance, Yu Qingqing was suddenly interrupted by the gagging sound, and she looked at Aunt Ma with a bewildered face, "Aunt, are you having a baby?"

Otherwise, why gag for no reason.

Aunt Ma, ??? what nonsense?

At her age, having a baby?

"I’m not, I didn’t, I’m sickened by you."

Aunt Ma denied Yu Qingqing’s unreliable guess and straightforwardly ridiculed, "You’re not as pretty as Yan Zhiqing, imitating her looks disgusting."

Yu Qingqing thought for a moment, didn’t get angry, instead agreed, nodding, "Indeed, Yan Zhiqing is pretty."

Before she finished speaking, her gaze landed on Yi Chichi’s face again.

"But not as pretty as Chichi."

Yi Chichi rolled her eyes, "Don’t drag me into this."

Knowing she disliked discussions about appearance, Yu Qingqing mumbled in response, offering another evaluation, "In any case, Yan Zhiqing and Ning Zhiqing are not good people, Guan Zhiqing..."

She paused, then gradually gave her assessment, "A bit dumb."

This evaluation was cuttingly sharp.

If she weren’t dumb, she wouldn’t be conned out of money and tickets by Yan Wanwan and Ning Haitao while knowing they were a couple, even ending up hospitalized with no money.

Currently, Yi Chichi had no other thoughts, only hoping that Guan Mingyue’s situation wouldn’t reach the point where surgery was necessary.

If not, who would take care of her in the hospital?

Ironically, fearing the worst, that evening Uncle Yaozi and others returned, saying Guan Mingyue underwent surgery to remove her appendix and needed to be hospitalized.

She wouldn’t be able to return for a while, and Yan Wanwan was to go to the hospital to take care of her.

Yi Chichi and the others all looked at Yan Wanwan.

Finding her face full of reluctance.

"Yan Zhiqing, you have to go!"

Ge Sujuan was blunt, "The two of you grew up together, and since you went down to the countryside, you’ve spent a lot of Guan Zhiqing’s money. Both emotionally and logically, you should take care of her."

Yan Wanwan didn’t want to go and looked at Ning Haitao, "Tao..."

Saccharine, with a long-drawn-out end note.

Wu Yongfei shivered, silently retreating two steps to hide beside Yi Chichi, whispering, "Yan Zhiqing never speaks properly."

Yi Chichi didn’t have much contact with them, as she was mostly stationed at the team medical room; even when working in the fields, she wasn’t assigned with them, maintaining a superficial relationship with Yan Zhiqing and the others.

She rubbed the goosebumps on her arm, softly asking, "Has she always been like this?"

"... Anyway, I can’t stand the way she talks."

But Ning Haitao fell for it.

Called "Tao" by Yan Wanwan, he almost melted, eagerly volunteering, "I’ll go, I’ll take care of Xiao Yue."

The team leader couldn’t hold back any longer, asking sharply with an expressionless face, "Are you a woman? What’s your relationship with Guan Zhiqing? You say you’ll go; will you help her to the bathroom or clean her body?"

These questions unsettled Ning Haitao, causing his face to turn green, and as he opened his mouth to speak, the leader, uninterested in listening, turned to Yan Wanwan, "I don’t care about your usual relationship, but since you’ve used Guan Zhiqing’s money, you must take care of her."

At this, he seemed to remember something, adding, "By the way, the surgery fees for Guan Zhiqing were advanced by the brigade, and these costs must be borne by you and Ning Zhiqing."

"Her subsequent expenses also have to be covered by the two of you."

Yi Chichi sneered, doubting they’d be willing.

Having found a fool like Guan Mingyue to exploit thoroughly, it’s difficult for them to return the gains.

It all depends on whether Guan Mingyue can handle them.

As this thought crossed her mind, she saw Yan Wanwan, like a cat bristling, shout, "Why?"
