Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 118: Shifting the blame
"What do you mean?"

Lin Miao looked at Ji Sisi with confused eyes, not understanding what was going on.

Ji Sisi had no choice but to repeat what Qi Yan had told her last night.

The gist of the message is that no matter what happens to Qi Yan, Ji Sisi should not interfere. Qi Yan must have come all this way for a purpose, and Qi Yan also wants to see what she is up to.

Lin Miao calmed down and said angrily, "I was worried about this brat, but she was just playing me?"

"The person she wants to mess with isn't you, it's Qi Yan. But birds of a feather flock together, and Qi Yan is a few years older than her after all."

Lin Miao sensed something was wrong, "But..."

Upon further reflection, Lin Miao realized something was amiss. No wonder Qi Yan had given her such perfunctory answers when she was so eager to discuss it with him.

Was it all an act for her?

Lin Miao realized she had been tricked, took a deep breath, and squeezed out through her back teeth, "There's not a single good person in the Qi family."

"Have some chrysanthemum tea to cool down."

Ji Sisi silently pushed the freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea towards Lin Miao.

Ji Sisi was also surprised that Qi Yan started causing trouble only a short while after arriving.

"Sister-in-law, is my sister at your house?"

The door wasn't closed, and Lin Peifeng came in first, followed by Qi Yan, while Qi Yan walked slowly at the very back, looking dejected.

Upon seeing Qi Yan, Lin Miao felt an overwhelming rage and jumped to his feet.

"Qi Yan, are you sick? You came all this way to act like a princess. Do you really think you're some kind of rich young lady?"

Qi Yan was already feeling bad, and Lin Miao's shout made her burst into tears.

Even after being reprimanded by her older brother in the afternoon, Qi Yan still couldn't believe that her brother had changed. She had deliberately disappeared to see if her brother would get anxious.

She never left the detention center, finding a secluded corner to hide in, and no one came looking for her until dark.

There wasn't even a single sound calling her name; as the night grew later and the silence deepened...

She came to terms with reality.

It turns out that her older brother really did pity her, but now he's taken back all his pity. She really has no one left to rely on in the Qi family.

Her parents used to contact her older brother through her, but now their relationship has become so strained.

The real Yan Yan is also coming back. This substitute can no longer be used and is now lost about the future.

Squatting in the corner, Qi Yan grew increasingly upset. Unable to bear the pressure of her overthinking, she could only slink back to her dorm, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.

When she arrived at the dormitory, she found that her older brother and Lin Peifeng had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Sorry……"

Qi Yan burst into tears and sincerely apologized to Lin Miao.

When she disappeared, the only person who was worried was Sister Lin. Thinking of the things she had said to her, Qi Yan wished she could slap herself a few times so that the water in her brain would dry up sooner.

Seeing Qi Yan crying her heart out, tears and snot mixed together, completely disregarding her usual image.

Lin Miao suddenly lost her voice, and even felt a little lost and guilty.

"Qi Yan, what are you planning to do now?"

Qi Yan stood in the courtyard and cried loudly, her cries heart-wrenching.

Ji Sisi was also frightened by this scene.

Qi Yan returned to the room, poured himself a glass of water, and after drinking it, asked Ji Sisi, "Did you go to the grasslands today?"

"Yeah, it's been too long since I've been there. I even dug up some cordyceps."

Ji Sisi avoided the main point and looked at the small baskets in the yard, "It's been so long since I've been there, I've found so many more."

Once it opens to the public, she'll definitely be the first to harvest all the caterpillar fungus from this mountain and become a major caterpillar fungus producer. Qi Yan noticed the guilty look in her eyes and didn't continue the topic.

"Qi Yan might stay for a couple more days. I asked someone to buy her a train ticket, but they all said there were no tickets available for the next two days, so I had someone buy one for the day after tomorrow."

Seeing Qi Yan crying sadly in the yard, Ji Sisi couldn't help but ask, "Hmm, you talked about her?"

"I said a couple of things, nothing harsh."

Lin Peifeng, standing nearby, pricked up his ears, barely suppressing the urge to expose his boss.

Was that two sentences? The cold violence that brought the atmosphere to freezing point, coupled with a sharp and merciless lesson, is something no one can withstand.

Moreover, she is a girl who is still in school and has been pampered since childhood.

Lin Peifeng comforted himself, thankfully he and the boss weren't related, otherwise, if he miscalculated data, he would probably be even more ruthless when scolding people.

Fearing that Ji Sisi wouldn't believe him, Qi Yan added without changing his expression, "Peifeng talked a lot."

The scapegoat remained silent, inwardly cursing the person who spoke.

After Qi Yan finished crying, Lin Peifeng seized the opportunity to take her and Lin Miao away together, as he was tired after a long day and wanted to rest early.

Listening to the heartbreaking crying, Lin Peifeng felt like his head had turned to mush.
-
Huaihua Sixth Production Team.

With the help of the agricultural supplies department this year, the land has been expanded by several acres, and the seeds left over from previous years by the sixth team are not enough.

When Captain Ma smiles, the wrinkles around his eyes gather together, and he always has a smile on his face even when he's sitting in the office.

Li Yanhong joked with a smile, "Since Sisi came, our team has been getting better and better."

"Not really."

Ji Sisi recounted her days since joining the Sixth Team, a mix of good and bad, but overall, good things outweighed bad.

Ji Sisi is happy that the production of the sixth team can now go up.

They had only been chatting for a short while when Shen Zichen appeared at the door, blocking the light.

"Sisi, I have good news. The medicine has arrived ahead of schedule."

Shen Zichen spoke with obvious joy, his voice was much louder than usual, and he was full of energy.

"The county has instructed each commune to send someone to collect them. Director Yan is busy and asked me to go instead, but I'm not familiar with the county town, so I thought I'd ask if you're available?"

Captain Ma answered for Ji Sisi with a grin.

"I'm free, but it's past eight o'clock now, so there probably won't be any more buses. I'll go after lunch."

Just outside Huaiye Village in Huaihua Commune is a bus stop with buses to the county. There are only three buses a day, in the morning, noon and evening.

8:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 5:00 PM.

It's only nine o'clock now. If you want to go, you'll have to wait until after lunch and take the afternoon bus.

Shen Zichen didn't have a watch and had no concept of time. He only realized he was running late when he saw the clock in the office.

“Shen Zhiqing, speaking of which, you are also a glorious figure in our Sixth Team. Not only do you work in the commune, but looking around, among all the communes in our county, none have ever received the treatment you have.”

Shen Zichen was embarrassed by the praise, "It's all thanks to Sisi, otherwise I would be..."

"Alright, that's all in the past. How's Niu doing lately?"

When Captain Ma asked about yaks, Shen Zichen finally remembered something he had forgotten and said in a daze.

"It's strange, really. The cow was listless a few days ago, but recently, I don't know what happened, it suddenly started eating again. Although it doesn't eat as much as usual, it's a good thing that it has an appetite."

Upon hearing this, Lei Feng felt that all his sacrifices had been worthwhile.

Ji Sisi calculated the time and realized it was about time to go to the Agricultural Materials Institute. Professor Wu said that applying for experimental sites would take time, and purchasing would also take time; all of this would take at least half a month to complete.

She took advantage of her trip to the county town today to check on the progress.

Although it was a temporary posting, she still received a basic salary of fifteen yuan per month.
