Chapter 72 Do you have evidence?
Li Yanhong brought water to Ji Sisi, saying, "Sisi, drink some sugar water to replenish your energy."

"Thank you, Yan Hong."

Ji Sisi took a sip. The water was slightly sweet, and her stomach felt better after being moistened by the water. Her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"There's no need to thank me. You've helped our team so much. You're truly our production team's lucky star. Since you came, good things have been happening one after another."

Li Yanhong returned to her seat, genuinely happy.

That's great! The team's progress can be caught up, and I won't feel inferior to others when I go to the club anymore.

The tractor can't stop, so usually two people take turns working. The land in Team Six isn't much, but one person can manage to finish it by gritting their teeth.

Ji Sisi sat on a bench and chatted with Li Yanhong about the food problem of the sixth team.

She learned from Li Yanhong that winter wheat was planted here, which would ripen in July and August. At the same time, corn would also ripen in August, making August the busiest time.

The grain was to be delivered in mid-September, and sesame was to be collected in early September. Both had to be delivered together when the grain was delivered.

Ji Sisi arrived at an awkward time, only managing to catch a little sesame. Now the wheat and corn are almost fully grown, making it difficult for her to intervene further.

With the help of tractors, land reclamation became twice as efficient.

The tractor driver took Ji Sisi back with him on the way.

"Sisi, I saw that the people in your compound came back this afternoon. It's almost dark and you're only just getting back. Did something happen to you?"

The gate to Li Hongying's courtyard was open, and when she saw Ji Sisi passing by, she hurriedly called out to her.

“You have a heart condition, yet you’re always running around. These are herbs I picked from the mountains. The elders in my family say they’re good for your health. I know you don’t have time, but I was free anyway, so I cooked you a bowl. Wait a moment, drink it while it’s hot!”

When Li Hongying came out of the kitchen again, she had a bowl of brown medicine in her hand.

Ji Sisi's sense of smell was more sensitive than that of ordinary people. Before Li Hongying even got close, she could smell the bitterness, frowned and pouted, looking unwilling.

"The team borrowed a tractor today, and I hitched a ride back from town. I spent the afternoon at the team's.

"Sister-in-law, this is too much trouble for you. My work isn't tiring at all. You should save it for Xiaowu; he's growing very fast."

Ji Sisi did not hesitate to pull Zhao Xiaowu to take the blow.

Zhao Xiaowu, who was playing in the main room, heard someone call his name and poked his head out. "Aunt Sisi, I'm not sick, so I can't take medicine."

After saying that, he pinched his nose and ran away.

Ji Sisi: "..."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ji Sisi had no choice but to hold her breath and drink it all in one gulp. "But hasn't Brother Zhao come back yet?"

Qi Yan has been back for a week, but Zhao Jianshe has not yet brought the army back, which makes Ji Sisi a little worried.

Li Hongying took the empty bowl and shook her head. "I don't know, there's no news. But I heard from Director Qi that they weren't in danger. They must have been delayed by something."

"Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about your older sister. I heard she's already settled in? Yesterday, Qiaomei asked me to see if there were any suitable men in the team she could introduce to your older sister. What's going on?"

Upon hearing Ji Nian's name, Ji Sisi suddenly realized that she had forgotten about going to find Ji Nian.

"I suddenly remembered I have something to do, Sister Hongying, I'll be going now."

Ji Sisi greeted them and walked towards the research institute without looking back. The research institute building was a five-story building, with the canteen, dormitory and medical room all located outside the institute to minimize the entry and exit of unauthorized personnel.

Upon hearing from Qi Yan that Ji Nian was still in the infirmary, Ji Sisi headed straight there.

Ji Nian lay on the bed, her neck throbbing slightly, and remained motionless.

Dr. Wu also knew Ji Sisi. When he saw her arrive, he took the initiative to pull Ji Sisi aside to talk.

"Comrade Ji, I think you need to persuade your older sister to return to the city for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise she may very well become mute for the rest of her life."

"A mute?" Ji Sisi was shocked by Ji Nian's ruthlessness, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Have you mentioned this to her? What did she say?"

Dr. Wu shook his head, "He won't say anything, he just lies motionless in bed and refuses to eat."

"I understand, thank you, Dr. Wu. I'll go in and check on her."

Ji Sisi walked to the bedside, a smile playing on her lips. "You'd rather be mute than stay here? Big sister, what is it about this place that you'd want to keep?"

Although she was smiling, there was no warmth in her eyes.

Ji Nian glared at Ji Sisi, turned her back to Ji Sisi, and looked at her as if she wanted to shoo her away.

"Aunt Wang can't count on Ji Hao anymore. She can only rely on you for the rest of her life. If she finds out that you came here alone and are stubbornly refusing to leave, do you think she will agree to it?"

Ji Sisi pulled up a stool and sat down, scrutinizing the situation. "And the house in the city, if I remember correctly, my dad registered it in my name at the housing management office. I have the right to take it back. If Aunt Wang has nowhere to go, do you think she might come to stay with us? But she'll probably stay with my older sister, since you're her biological daughter."

Ji Nian turned over, sat up agitatedly, pointed at Ji Sisi, and made "uh uh uh" sounds.

Ji Sisi found communication difficult, so she tossed a notebook and pen to Ji Nian.

Ji Nian hurriedly picked up the notebook and pen. The pen made a rustling sound as it rubbed against the paper. After she finished writing, she held up the notebook.

"You're involved in my brother's affairs. If you dare to call her over, my mother will definitely not let you off the hook!"

"Do you have any evidence?" Ji Sisi asked casually. "You can't just say things without evidence. Oh, I forgot, you can't speak right now."

“If you really want to stay here, that’s fine too. There are quite a few single men in our production team. As your younger sister, I will definitely help you with your marriage. Just stay here and recover.”

Ji Nian shook her head frantically, then wrote in her notebook, "Ji Sisi, you bitch! You stole my man and now you want to kick me out! You have no shame! I'm going to let everyone know what you've done!"

Ji Sisi got up, took the notebook away, and patted Ji Nian's shoulder with a half-smile, comforting her.

"The despicable one isn't me, but the one who pushed her fiancé to her stepsister and then shamelessly accused someone else of stealing him from her. That's the kind of person who's despicable, right, sister?"

"Leave my life now, and you can still control your own destiny. But if you insist on staying here and bothering people, I won't let you off easy."

Ji Sisi tore off that page and chuckled softly.

"Furthermore, Qi Yan, a man with such excellent skills, couldn't even save a woman, who nearly died in the river. Ji Nian, do you dare say that none of this has anything to do with you?"

"If Director Fu finds out about this, and the organization sends people to investigate, how many years do you think that woman will be sentenced to?"

Ji Nian lowered her eyelashes, not daring to look at Ji Sisi.

"You must be wondering how I knew, right?"
