Chapter 267 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 8
Before Cheng Shuo opened his mouth, the aunties and young men from several villages behind him immediately shouted.
"You're lying! We all saw it!"
"Why else would you run over there? You and Arya were just arguing."
"That's right. We saw it clearly. You were looking over there furtively just now. The captain told everyone to disperse, but you kept moving forward. What do you want to do?"
Sun Man was speechless, her face flushed, and she said, "I didn't, I just wanted to see if Comrade Jiang was okay."
After hearing this, the aunts immediately said disdainfully, "Can you be so kind? If you were really so kind, you wouldn't say bad things about Arya behind her back. If you hadn't been gossiping, Arya wouldn't have fainted!"
"No, no, I really just care about Comrade Jiang. I felt sorry for her and said bad things about her, so I wanted to go forward and take a look." Sun Man felt the angry and condemning gazes of the crowd and kept explaining.
"What are you talking about caring or not? You're not a doctor. Jiang Erya has fainted and everyone needs to disperse. You go up to her, do you want to hurt her or help her?" Cheng Shuo asked suddenly.
As soon as she saw someone asking her to explain, Sun Man immediately responded, "I want to help her! Really, believe me, I care about her."
"Okay, since you said that, Jiang Erya fainted because of you, so why don't you give her some medical expenses? If you really want to help her, you can compensate her in front of the captain, so that you don't have to keep explaining. No one will believe you without evidence. After all, everyone saw you going over there with your feet raised."
Cheng Shuo glared at her coldly and said with a smile.
"I......"
Sun Man was stuck in her words. Why? She didn't do anything, why should she pay for it?
She suddenly remembered that it was Zhao Xue who whispered in her ear just now. If it weren't for her, why would she come here to provoke Jiang Erya? She immediately looked at Zhao Xue with hatred.
She looked at Zhao Xue's innocent and pitying expression, and even couldn't help wanting to go up and slap her. It was all Zhao Xue's fault. If it wasn't for her, how could she have done such a thing!
The only remaining trace of rationality made Sun Man realize that it would be useless for her to rush over and hit Zhao Xue. After all, she spoke so softly that no one could hear her and no one could testify for her. Moreover, once she said this, her little thoughts would be exposed directly.
When the maids saw that Sun Man couldn't say anything, they immediately said with certainty and sarcasm, "Look, it's her. She is lying! She must want to harm Erya!"
"Yes, it was clearly me who caused Erya to faint, and yet I still say I care about her. I'm not even willing to pay for her medical expenses. This is what an educated youth from the city is like!"
"No, people like her are too scary. Fortunately, we were there and saw it. If we weren't paying attention one day and she had bad intentions, wouldn't it be a big disaster?"
"Let's wait for Erya later. Let's report it to the captain and see what he says. We can't leave such a dangerous person in Xinghua Village!"
"Yes, it's nothing more than sending them back to the Youth League Office or transferring them to other villages."
Sun Man panicked as soon as she heard this. Not to mention that her reputation would be ruined if she was sent back, the grain harvest in Xinghua Village was much better than that in other places. She had heard that there were educated youth who starved to death in other places. She absolutely could not be sent back.
Thinking of this, Sun Man no longer hesitated. She gritted her teeth and said to Cheng Shuo unwillingly, "I, I will pay. But I don't have much money on me, and... and she fainted mainly because Zhao Xue provoked her, so she has to pay compensation too! And those educated youths, they all said bad things about Comrade Jiang, so everyone has to pay compensation!"
Sun Man changed the subject and looked fiercely at Zhao Xue and the several female educated youth who were secretly observing the situation here.
snort!
Since everyone has said it, why should she be the only one to pay the compensation!
The female educated youth who were watching the show silently on the side suddenly changed their expressions, "I, I...it was Zhao Zhiqing who made her faint. It has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes! Yes! It's her!"
"It was all Zhao Xue's fault. When we were talking about it, Jiang Erya hadn't fainted yet!"
Zhao Xue's face turned pale and she seemed to be shaky, but was supported by Lu Jianjun the next second.
"Let's wait until the doctor comes to see us. If you need my help, I—"
"Alright, why are you arguing? Just wait here and talk after you've seen the doctor!"
The captain found the drama of several women too noisy and just shouted.
Zhao Xue was choked and her face changed slightly. She glanced at the captain, feeling unhappy but not showing it on her face.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone was silently waiting for the doctor and the Jiang family to come.
After a while, an old man came over, pulled by a strong young man from the village.
After finally stopping, Doctor Zhang straightened his clothes, and when he saw Jiang Yueshu who had fainted, he quickly called a few strong maids to move her to a shaded area before squatting down to examine her.
He calmly felt the pulse and looked up after a while. "This girl looked too weak. She had been malnourished for a long time and couldn't do heavy work. Her emotions fluctuated too much and she was working too hard, so she fainted."
Wiping his sweat, he added, "Also, the weather is too hot. I don't think my body can handle it."
As soon as these words came out, someone in the crowd spoke up immediately.
"See, they are really pissed off. I said so. These educated youths can't do their jobs well after they came here. They just keep saying bad things about others. Isn't that irritating?"
"Alas, Erya is also pitiful, born in such a family. I heard from Aunt Zhao that they went there yesterday and saw that Erya's arms were covered with red marks from being beaten."
"Really? Isn't Erya also Jiang Aiguo's biological child? Could it be that she was picked up?"
"What are you talking about? She's my biological daughter. I saw her when she gave birth to Erya."
"Of course it's true. Aunt Wang, their neighbor, knows it very well. Erya doesn't even eat half of what her stepmother eats every day, and yet she still complains that her work points are not enough. She gets beaten a lot."
"Hey, hush, stop talking, the Jiang family is coming!"
The three elders of the Jiang family who had just been led here: "......"
Grandma Jiang has a bad temper and was the first one who couldn't bear it anymore. She was about to go up and scold these gossipers, but after hearing just two words, everyone shut up their microphones.
The three men had grim looks on their faces and were holding their breath. They rushed to the front of the crowd angrily.
When Doctor Zhang saw the patient's family coming over, he quickly repeated what he had just said.
Finally, seeing that the others didn't care at all, he adhered to his medical ethics and said, "After all, this little girl is still growing up, so she needs to eat enough, otherwise she will always get sick. I think if we rest for a while and give her some water, she will wake up soon. I'll go back and prescribe some medicine for her. Who of you will come with me?"
The three of them looked unhappy to begin with, and when they heard about getting medicine, they thought about spending money, and for a moment no one wanted to speak.
Jiang Aiguo was a little anxious. He was a man who cared about his reputation, so he nodded to Doctor Zhang and said, "Okay, I'll ask the child's mother to come over later."
After receiving the reply, Dr. Zhang nodded, packed up and left.
As soon as the person left, Grandma Jiang couldn't hold it in anymore.
Grandma Jiang glanced at the person on the ground and muttered unhappily, "Why waste money? I think she is just spoiled. When we were young, everyone went through the same thing. But she fainted? How could the Jiang family have to deal with such a thing? Why spend that little money? What a waste!"
After saying this, Grandma Jiang left immediately, still muttering in her heart that she would not have come if she had known earlier.
Jiang Aiguo, who was left behind, looked embarrassed and glared at Liu Hongjuan, "Go and pay the money!"
He has agreed to it in front of everyone, so he still has to do his job well!
Liu Hongjuan left with a dark face.
Aunt Wang, a neighbor of the Jiang family, was working nearby. She fed Jiang Yueshu some of the water she had brought with her. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Jiang Yueshu slowly opened his eyes.
She glanced at Aunt Wang who was holding water nearby and the team leader who had been looking at this side, and moved weakly. Seeing this, several aunts nearby hurriedly supported her.
"I'm sorry to bother all the uncles and aunts, and the captain. Thank you for the trouble. I will repay you when I have the chance in the future!"
The girl's voice was weak. As soon as she woke up, she thanked everyone obediently and said that she would repay them in the future. Those who helped her felt comforted. Some sentimental women couldn't help but moisten their eyes when they thought of what they had just heard about her experience.
They didn't care about what she said about the reward. After all, he was just a poor child and they were just helping him out.
The captain tapped his pipe and said, "Well, he's a good kid."
Then he turned to the somewhat impatient Jiang Aiguo and said, "Aiguo, Doctor Zhang just said that this child really needs to be taken care of. To be honest, Erya is already seventeen years old this year, just one year younger than your Qing girl. She looks a lot shorter and has been beaten a lot. After all, she is also a child of the Jiang family. As a father, you must take a good look at the child. It will sound good when others tell you about it, and Erya will remember your kindness."
Although he is the team leader of the village, these are after all other people's family affairs. He can only give some suggestions when he really can't stand it. He is powerless to do anything else.
What a miserable child indeed!
Hearing this, Jiang Aiguo took a rare close look at Jiang Yueshu, and saw that she was indeed extremely weak, looking like she was about fourteen or fifteen years old. He suddenly thought of his ex-wife, and couldn't help feeling sad and ashamed, so he said immediately.
"Erya, you fainted today. Don't go to work today. Go back and rest for a day."
Seeing that he had listened, the team leader was pleased and called on other irrelevant people to go to work, and Jiang Aiguo followed them.
The remaining people are still here. Just now Cheng Shuo found the team leader and told him that several educated youths at the educated youth site wanted to give Jiang Erya some compensation because of guilt, and they needed him to be a witness.
He knew that this was not an easy thing to do, and since both parties had agreed that he would just be a witness, he was naturally willing to cooperate.
With the help of several very capable aunts and grandmas in the village and Cheng Shuo's assistance, the educated youth quickly discussed the compensation measures.
Zhao Xue and several educated youth who had previously spoken ill of Jiang Yueshu pooled together two dollars to compensate Jiang Yueshu for medical expenses.
In addition, they also have to apologize to Jiang Yueshu collectively.
Zhao Xue got a large share of the two dollars. Jiang Yueshu fainted from anger after hearing what she said. The other educated youth kept holding on to this point and put the pressure on Zhao Xue.
Zhao Xue had a stiff face and didn't want to pay at all, so Lu Jianjun took the initiative to pay for Zhao Xue.
Yes, in Lu Jianjun's opinion, although Jiang Erya's fainting was not caused by Zhao Xue directly, it was indeed due to her biased words, and she did know the truth but did not speak out at the first time.
Seeing Zhao Xue's unhappy expression, he thought she couldn't come up with so much money, so he took the initiative to hand it over.
Zhao Xue stared at her tall and handsome husband with her eyes wide open and said righteously, "It's time to pay", and she was the first to hand over the money. She felt like vomiting blood in her heart, but she restrained her emotions when her husband looked at her, acting pitiful and full of gratitude.
After paying back the money, the educated youth lined up, each of them looked as if they had eaten shit, and bowed and apologized with an ugly face.
After being stabbed by Cheng Shuo, everyone restrained their expressions and apologized again with a blank face.
Of course they were extremely unhappy, but there was nothing they could do. If they didn't apologize properly, they would be humiliated over and over again.
Before leaving, Zhao Xue glanced at Jiang Yueshu secretly, feeling hatred in her heart.
After everyone left, Jiang Yueshu rested for a while before leisurely returning to the Jiang family. On the way, she received five dollars from Cheng Shuo. She refused, but Cheng Shuo forced it into her hand.
Not only that, he even walked a few steps away, turned around and told her earnestly, "Be careful, don't let others cheat you."
After saying this, he went back to work without caring about Jiang Yueshu's expression.
Jiang Yueshu could only accept it helplessly, and secretly remembered Cheng Shuo's care for her.
After returning to the Jiang family, Jiang Yueshu looked at the locked doors of the main hall and kitchen, thought for a while, and went to the mountain with a backpack, ready to dig some wild vegetables or mushrooms to send to Doctor Zhang.
She knew Liu Hongjuan and thought it was impossible for her to get the medicine back.
She didn't work today, so Grandma Jiang would definitely not give her any food, so she might as well go out for a walk.
Jiang Yueshu went up the mountain along the same route as yesterday, put the wild vegetables and mushrooms that she had not had time to dig up yesterday into the basket one by one, and then began to concentrate on looking for medicinal herbs that could be used.
She held a few small stones in her hands, and occasionally when she saw a pheasant or rabbit suddenly appear, she would quickly aim and throw the stones. Perhaps because of her unfamiliarity with the stones and slow reaction, after knocking out a rabbit and a pheasant in succession, she finally succeeded in knocking out a pheasant.
Yesterday she tried throwing bamboo tips and stones respectively, and she still felt that throwing stones was more convenient. She didn't need to handle them specially and could find a lot of stones of suitable sizes just by grabbing them.
