167: Chapter 166: New Understanding of Human Potential 167: Chapter 166: New Understanding of Human Potential “If Bai Bo were here, if Bai Bo could speak for himself, he would definitely tell Lin Nianhe that he sent Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian just because these two were the only ones from Lan County among his n.
Plus, Wu Genmao was fairly normal in what he said and did yesterday, except for that thwarted third bow.
If you really have to ask why he had to involve Cao Shijian…
it’s just that Bai Bo didn’t want his own boss’s road to suddenly beco bumpy.
The day before yesterday, looking into Cao Shijian’s innocent eyes, how Bai Bo wished he could die outside.
All this, Lin Nianhe did not know; she only felt she was being severely disdained.
Carrying the glory of a transmigrator, she could not accept being despised.
Her brain quickly turning, she smiled and walked up to Wu Genmao, crouching down to ask him: “Did your big brother have a ssage for ?”
As the duo’s strategist, Wu Genmao imdiately figured out the pros and cons and nodded: “Yes, yes, the big brother had a ssage!”
Anyway, admitting to tailing her was out of the question.
Lin Nianhe nodded in understanding and told Wang Dong and Sun Guanghui: “They are brothers of a sister I t in the provincial city; it’s a misunderstanding, sorry about that.”
“It’s okay, as long as nothing happened,” Wang Dong relieved, let go of his hold.
The Educated Youth Corps still needed to cook; seeing nothing was wrong, they turned around and went back, leaving only Wen Lan and Wang Shui with Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe pointed at Cao Shijian who was lying on his back, asking Wu Genmao, “Is he alright?”
Wu Genmao scrambled over to Cao Shijian, shouting his na twice, but got no response.
Lin Nianhe stood up preparing to send him to the clinic, while Wu Genmao on the side, started slapping Cao Shijian’s face left and right.
“Shi Jian, Shi Jian?
Wake up, man!” Wu Genmao called out while slapping.
Lin Nianhe: “Sister Shui, you have to be my witness; he might not necessarily die by my hand.”
Wang Shui was so shocked she couldn’t speak, looking blankly at Wu Genmao.
Wen Lan rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, extrely enthusiastic: “Shall I help?”
“Ouch…”
Perhaps feeling the pressure from Sister Lan, Cao Shijian finally gasped for air and slowly ca to.
He gazed at the sky, murmuring: “Maomao, I feel like I saw my mom, and my dad, and my grandma…”
Wu Genmao stopped slapping, asking with concern: “How are you feeling?
Did you hurt yourself badly?”
Cao Shijian sat up supporting himself on the ground, wiped his nosebleed, and swinging his head left and right, he shook his head: “No big deal, just a sore face.”
Lin Nianhe looked at his face full of handprints, thinking how could that not hurt?
She cleared her throat and said to them: “This isn’t the place to talk, co inside with first.”
Wu Genmao imdiately helped Cao Shijian up, and the two limped behind Lin Nianhe into the Educated Youth Corps, heading to the backyard.
Now the backyard had plenty of seating, just pick up a couple of bricks to sit on.
They leaned against the wall, sitting on bricks, looking so miserable that anyone seeing them would be moved.
Lin Nianhe, fearing they might die in her backyard, fetched so alcohol and external dicine, asking Wu Genmao to dress Cao Shijian’s wounds.
Who knows over the years how much beating they had endured; Wu Genmao’s bandaging skills were painfully proficient.
In less than five minutes, Cao Shijian’s head was wrapped up tightly, even his nose stuffed with two large tufts of gauze, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed.
Lin Nianhe sent Wang Shui and Wen Lan back to the front yard, then pulled up a small stool to sit opposite them, asking: “Did brother-in-law have sothing to tell ?”
At this question, Wu Genmao fell silent too.
He hadn’t thought of a good story yet.
Luckily, Cao Shijian was still dazed, relying on the wall just mumbling “ouch, ouch”, and didn’t interrupt.
Lin Nianhe gently prompted: “Is it because brother-in-law was worried I couldn’t handle Lan County’s matters alone, so he sent you to help ?”
Wu Genmao’s eyes lit up and he imdiately nodded: “Yes, yes…
hehe, sister-in-law, you are so smart, I was just too embarrassed to say…”
Lin Nianhe: “…”
Bai Bo was no longer rely looking down on her; he was blatantly cursing her, and the words were exceptionally filthy.
A flash of coldness in her eyes quickly disappeared as Lin Nianhe nodded, asking, “What are your nas?”
“I’m Wu Genmao, and he’s Cao Shijian.”
In just a second, Lin Nianhe thought of all the sad things from her past and present life, managing to hold back her laughter.
She took several deep breaths, barely squeezing out three words between her clenched teeth: “Nice nas!”
Not waiting for Wu Genmao to respond, she quickly changed the subject to avoid recalling any more sad events, “Are you two from the provincial city?”
“No,” Wu Genmao shook his head, “We’re both from Victory Team, fled from the disaster a couple of years ago.”
“Oh?
Victory Team, huh.” Lin Nianhe’s eyes shifted, then she continued, “That’s good, then I don’t have to worry about where to arrange accommodation for you two.”
She deliberately avoided asking whether their house was still there.
In case the house was gone, wouldn’t she have to find a place for them?
Where could an Educated Youth like her find one?
Wu Genmao didn’t think too much, still feeling the long-missed care.
He sniffled and said, “Sister-in-law, then the two of us—”
“Gurgle gurgle…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when his stomach began to rumble.
Clearly, one Wowotou was not enough to fill his stomach.
Pretending not to know, Lin Nianhe asked, “Haven’t you eaten breakfast yet?”
At the ntion of “food,” Cao Shijian perked up as if revived from death, “Sister-in-law!
From yesterday till today, we’ve only had a bowl of corn paste and one Wowotou… The last ti I was this hungry was when our house faced disaster… But even then, the hunger didn’t make run this much…”
Cao Shijian’s words made Wu Genmao also recall the unbearable yesterday; he tearfully recounted everything that occurred from yesterday to today.
Of course, he did not reveal that the whole reason behind chasing the bus and train was to spy on her, only that they wanted to find her but kept missing opportunities.
After hearing everything, Lin Nianhe’s understanding of human potential was greatly shaken and extended.
She stood up, leaning on her knees, and told them, “Wait a bit, I’ll go make food.”
She lit the fire to cook so porridge, ward a few stead buns, and stir-fried so green vegetables.
She served each of them a bowl of porridge and a bun, not out of malice towards these ridiculous two; she was just worried they might eat too much at once and literally burst.
Cao Shijian, while eating, had tears falling: “Not even my dear uncle treated to a al this good…”
Wu Genmao sniffled and asked, “Sister-in-law, what do we do later?”
Lin Nianhe looked at their state and fell silent.
She neither knew what work she could give them, nor if they would survive doing any work for her.
Lin Nianhe was ntally prepared for Bai Bo to send soone to watch her; she even had plans to deal with it, having even reviewed the show “Hidden” the night before, ready for a long battle of wits and courage with them.
But no matter how prepared she was, she didn’t foresee Bai Bo sending such a pair of “gods” over!
A battle of wits was out of the question, they lacked the ntal capacity; and physical coercion was also unrealistic, as they might just crumble at slightest touch.
So…
“Why not, could you first take him to check his wound?”
Lin Nianhe gestured towards Cao Shijian, wrapped in a bandage.
Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian looked at each other, shaking their heads in unison.
Leave?
That would be unacceptable.
They have a mission to complete!
