Chapter 597: Chapter 596: The Tyrant Makes a Dazzling Entrance
Lin Nianhe was tightening screws in the warehouse while other educated youth from the Lan County Commune were moving bricks.
But only the educated youth from the Nine-miles Team and the Ten Miles Team were assigned to the construction of the match factory, others were busy expanding the textile factory.
There wasn’t much work in the fields at this ti, and the strong labor force from the village and the old builders had co too; they were mainly responsible for building, while the educated youths were handling brick moving and aiding.
Wang Shui and a few others had only moved bricks three tis when they were too tired to straighten their backs.
Sun Guanghui ca over pushing a handcart, seeing Wang Shui drenched in sweat, he whispered, “You female educated youth can load the carts here, don’t run back and forth.”
Wang Shui hadn’t even responded when Duan Hongi, who was passing by, suddenly interjected, “Oh, the female educated youth from the Ten Miles Team are so delicate? Soone worries about them just walking a few steps, this isn’t going to the countryside, this is like becoming capitalists sowhere else.”
She scanned around, didn’t see Lin Nianhe’s figure, and continued sarcastically: “Indeed, the most delicate one of them didn’t even co, what makes her so special? What, is she made of gold, afraid of getting lost?”
Wang Shui and Wang Xue both turned their heads to look at her, both wanting to retort, but upon clearly seeing Duan Hongi’s look, both were surprised and wide-eyed, forgetting what they were about to say.
The last ti they saw Duan Hongi was when the last autumn harvest was delivered, although she was miserably beaten by Lin Nianhe at the ti, she was full of vigor.
Now she had lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were sunken, her eyes venomous like a poisonous snake from the mountains, appearing as if she wanted to ruthlessly bite everyone equally.
Wang Xue gathered herself after a mont of shock, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted: “Compared to you, we are of course delicate, after all, it’s not everyone who can bounce around lively as if nothing happened after swallowing a steel ball.”
It was no secret that Duan Hongi swallowed a steel ball last year attempting to fake illness for discharge; the commune criticized this “individual educated youth” in a eting with all the youth. Although Wong Xiao spared her so dignity by not naming nas, the story had long spread.
It was said that every ti the Educated Youth Corps of the Nine-miles Team had a study eting, Duan Hongi would be singled out for a lecture.
After making a fuss, Duan Hongi not only failed to get discharged for illness but also lost all her dignity and even ended up with a long, sinuous scar on her abdon.
Wang Xue’s words struck Duan Hongi hard, her face instantly darkened, staring at Wang Xue’s sowhat whitened face with a sinister look.
Wang Xue didn’t bother with her, snorting lightly and turning away to continue loading bricks onto the handcart.
Wang Shui also didn’t want to deal with soone like Duan Hongi and moved to the other side to carry bricks.
With them no longer speaking, Sun Guanghui found it even harder to argue with the female comrades, he could only suppress his anger, pushing the handcart away.
He hadn’t walked far when suddenly he heard a scream from behind.
Followed by the sound of bricks falling to the ground and another exclamation.
Sun Guanghui turned around to see Duan Hongi straddling Wang Xue, a brick shattering on her head.
And Wang Xue, having fallen, had knocked over several bricks, and Wang Shui was pinned underneath.
“Shui!”
Sun Guanghui’s pupils constricted, he dropped the handcart and rushed to save Wang Shui.
He was quick-witted today, charging to rescue while not forgetting to call for help: “Wen Lan!”
Sister Lan was only a step behind Sun Guanghui; she kicked Duan Hongi in the lower back, sending her flying two ters off Wang Xue.
Before Duan Hongi recovered, a flurry of punches rained down on her following a shout, “I’ll beat you to death.”
At this mont, Wang Xue’s face was covered in blood, dazedly holding her head, unable to even find her cry, “Hongqi, Hongqi, I can’t see!”
Miao Hongqi, from a distance, hurriedly ran over, using the loudest voice of her life, yelling: “Team leader! Team leader! Sothing happened!”
She anxiously ran over and embraced Wang Xue, tremblingly prying her hands open, barely discerning that it was her forehead that was hurt and not her eyes, she quickly said: “Xiao Xue, don’t be frightened, your eyes weren’t injured, it’s just blood, blood is blurring them.”
Wang Xue didn’t know whether to feel relieved or sad, leaning in Miao Hongqi’s embrace, she burst into tears with a loud sob.
Over there, Sun Guanghui and several male Educated Youth Corps mbers were removing bricks from Wang Shui’s body; he couldn’t care about anything else, put his arm around Wang Shui’s shoulders and asked her, “Shui, how are you feeling? Where does it hurt?”
“I’m fine, I just fell and scraped my skin a bit,” Wang Shui rubbed her legs, then said to Yufei standing beside her, “Hurry, don’t let Xiao Lan be beaten.”
Fourth Sie casually picked up a brick: “Don’t worry! I’ll handle it, beat them dead!”
Wang Shui: “…”
She was also stunned from the fall, having unexpectedly entrusted the least suitable person.
Luckily, just before Yufei’s brick landed on Duan Hongi’s head, Li Dahe and He Aimin arrived.
“What are you doing? What are all of you doing? Isn’t working tiring enough for you lot? Still have the energy to fight?” Li Dahe rebuked with glaring eyes.
He couldn’t avoid the misunderstanding; when he arrived, he saw two n from his own Ten Miles Team grappling Duan Hongi.
Li Dahe shouted, and upon seeing Wang Xue with her face covered in blood, his expression grew tense, imdiately saying, “Quickly, bring over the tractor to take her to the health clinic, Xiao Shan, go back and get so money from your Uncle Zhao.”
The cause could be inquired later, priority was to send them to the health clinic first.
The tractor quickly arrived to transport the injured; Wang Xue was carried onto the tractor by Wen Lan. Although Wang Shui had only scraped her knee, she couldn’t stand up and was helped by Sun Guanghui to sit next to Wang Xue.
Duan Hongi, limping, tried to get on too, only to be dragged away by her hair by Wen Lan before she could get close.
“What are you doing?” Li Dahe frowned, “Haven’t you fought enough?”
As he said this, he gave Wen Lan a look implying no matter what, she should first head to the health clinic, not to confuse who was right and who was wrong.
Wen Lan thought the team leader was urging her to quickly explain the situation, and imdiately said, “She pushed Wang Xue down, beat her, and also trapped izi under bricks!”
Wen Lan rolled up her sleeves, resounding boldly: “If she dares to get on the tractor, I’ll punch her for every ter she travels, if she can withstand the beating, then let her get on!”
Li Dahe: “…”
He Aimin: “…”
Eventually, Duan Hongi didn’t dare to get on the tractor, and had to go to the health clinic by ox cart.
At the health clinic, Wang Xue’s tears were dripping ceaselessly. Clinging tightly to the corner of Miao Hongqi’s clothes, she tremulously asked: “Hongqi, is my injury severe? Will it leave a scar?”
The blood on her face had already been washed clean by the nurse with saline water, but the wound was still bloody, looking sowhat frightening.
Miao Hongqi scrutinized it for a while and honestly replied: “I think it’s similar to Daxi’s injury before, she didn’t get a scar, yours should be fine too.”
At the ntion of Daxi, Wang Xue’s eyes brightened slightly: “Daxi got her dicine applied by Nianhe before, can you help fetch Nianhe…”
Wang Xue’s words were not finished when the hospital room door was abruptly pushed open.
“Who dares to hit my Sister Shui!”
With the door slamming loudly, a bully made a dramatic entrance.
