After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 115, Episode 0119: There's already drama as soon as I get back.
Lin Yuexi walked slowly forward with a gentle smile on her face. The older women didn't mind her slow pace; instead, they put aside their impatience and slowed down to follow her.

They were all chiming in with their own comments, making quite a lively scene.

Looking around, the atmosphere was so harmonious and pleasant.

As Leng Xingran said, Lin Yuexi has made everyone's pockets much fuller this year, and not just with money, but also with a lot of tickets.

The people in Haishi were very responsible and understanding of the hardships faced by rural people. The person in charge who came to collect the goods brought not only money but also a lot of tickets, which were very rare in rural areas.

Such as sugar coupons, cotton coupons, flashlight bucket coupons, water bottle coupons, cloth coupons, etc.

Li Dayou and Old Party Secretary Chen were very decisive. They kept all the tickets, set aside a portion of the total amount to buy more tickets, and then distributed them.

Distributing those tickets door-to-door would definitely not be enough, and since they were all different types, it would be difficult to divide them. So Li Dayou and his men let the villagers buy them themselves at the black market price, and the money from the sale of those tickets would be kept in the village coffers for public use.

That left everyone speechless.

Anyway, we always set aside some money for public use every year. This year, we'll set aside the money for public use from the mountain produce first, so we won't need to set aside any more when distributing grain.

There were no lazy people in the brigade. After they learned that someone was coming to buy their mountain products, almost every family mobilized. This year, there were very few households that didn't earn a hundred or two hundred yuan. So, all those tickets were quickly converted into cash.

Especially families like Aunt Wu and Aunt Lu's, who haven't separated their households and still have a dozen or even twenty members living together, pooling all their earnings together—one, ten, hundred, one, two, three, four, five—wow!
With money in hand, it's normal to exchange it for necessary tickets, right?

With money and ration coupons, it's normal for the old lady to make herself some clothes, right?
It's normal for family members to eat better, right?

It's normal to smile more;
It's normal that the children will be able to go to school next year;

Isn't it more normal to feel that life is getting better and better?

Therefore, they were very grateful to Lin, the educated youth, for bringing hope to their lives.

A woman who was so beautiful she seemed unreal, yet so frail she looked like she wouldn't live long, was initially thought to be a burden, but instead brought them hope—an educated youth!
But that's just how it is... the gossipers will never change their gossipy nature. They greet each other and chat idly, and slowly, without realizing it, they head into the gossip field.

It all started when Lin Yuexi saw a woman wearing a patched cotton-padded coat carrying two large buckets towards the back of the village. The two large buckets looked familiar; they were the village's special buckets for carrying manure.

Because the woman's profile was unfamiliar yet somehow vaguely familiar, Lin Yuexi took a few more glances.

Aunt Wu, who was walking next to her, noticed the person and whispered to Lin Yuexi, "That's Wang, the educated youth from the Xiayang Brigade."

Who?
Is this the Wang Zhiqing she understands?
Aunt Zheng leaned closer: "Xiao Wang is a good girl. She was seriously dating someone, but things have turned out like this."

They were almost at the educated youth settlement. Aunt Lu glanced at the settlement with disdain and said, "Cultural people, huh? Did that guy read all the books he could find on the soles of his feet?"

Seeing that Lin Yuexi's eyes were practically swirling with irritation, Aunt Wu shoved the two people on either side of her, who were getting increasingly confused, and said, "Get out of here, both of you. Let me do the talking."

"Lin Zhiqing, listen to me, this is what happened..."

This story begins a few months ago. According to Zhao Yishu himself, he had long suspected that Wang Qin had ulterior motives in approaching him, but because Zhao Yishu was in the black market business, he didn't think about it from another angle. He simply assumed that Wang Qin was after his black market business and even suspected that she was a spy sent by his business rivals.

So he endured it, wanting to catch the person behind Wang Qin.

He knew about what was going on between Wang Qin and his men, and for the same reason, he wanted to catch the person behind them.

But, yes, there's an extra 'but' here.

At that time, Zhao Yishu was busy with the matter of the quota for Wang Zhiqing to return to the city. Before the quota was allocated, he was running around to various people to establish connections. After the quota was allocated, he was afraid that something might happen, so he kept an eye on it. In short, he couldn't spare the time to care about anything else.

That's also overconfidence.

Then, other people handled things more thoroughly than he did in terms of consideration, planning, and implementation. They not only bribed people in the county, but also people from the same educated youth settlement as Wang.

A female educated youth from the same educated youth settlement as Wang gave him a type of mushroom that could cause vomiting and diarrhea. When Zhao Yishu saw that Wang was in trouble, she immediately lost her composure and forgot all about avoiding suspicion in public. She rushed into the educated youth settlement, but soon after, both of them were knocked unconscious.

Then came the scene of the villagers tearing each other's shoes, and coincidentally, a county official happened to be visiting relatives in the Fourth Brigade at that time.

The reason Captain Ning orchestrated this whole thing was because he realized there was something wrong with the person from the county, and that they were very likely after Zhao Yishu. So he wanted to use this method to keep Zhao Yishu in the Fourth Brigade.

In the end, Captain Ning was unable to stop them. The county issued an official document to send Zhao Yishu and Wang Zhiqing to farms in the Northwest.

On the day Zhao Yishu left, he passed by a brigade and suddenly broke free from the people who were arresting him. He somehow got hold of a kitchen knife, then held the knife to his own neck and threatened to commit suicide.

And she said it all out in front of everyone. Well, not to anyone else. Zhao Yishu was explaining it to Wang Zhiqing. But there was a certain distance between them, so Zhao Yishu had to shout. So every single villager watching the commotion heard it clearly.

This is where things get interesting.

Wu Da Niang and the others didn't know what Zhao Yishu and Li Dayou said, because they, as onlookers, were stopped and were too far away to hear.

All that is known is that after Zhao Yishu and Li Dayou talked, Li Dayou went to find the team leader.

Because of Zhao Yishu's loud voice when he was explaining while holding a knife, the villagers' opinion of Wang Zhiqing changed a lot. Putting aside Zhao Yishu, who is not a good person and has a lot of crimes to his name, let's just talk about Wang Zhiqing. He was indeed wronged and pitiful.

Lin Yuexi guessed that this was probably Zhao Yishu's purpose.

Wang Zhiqing was left in the brigade with a good atmosphere, and before leaving, he used a nearly self-destructive method to make the villagers no longer have any ill feelings towards him, in order to ensure Wang Zhiqing's safety.

He succeeded. The older women, though soft-hearted and sympathetic, didn't dare get too close to him. But listening to their tone, they all felt indignant on her behalf.

Lin Yuexi suddenly felt a little sorry for the one who had been reborn. The village aunties and grandmas didn't recognize the other people, but she was the only one in the village, so she became the target of everyone's contempt.

After eating the melon, we parted ways with the group of older women at the intersection. Just as we reached the door, we were greeted by the enthusiastic Comrade Ren Yan.

A bear hug. "Xi Bao, you're finally back! I thought you'd forgotten me. If you hadn't come back, I was even planning to go to the army base to look for you."
