The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 750

Chapter 750: Chapter 746: Kicked Out

「The threshing ground.」

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the machine before them.

They watched as the wheat was fed into the rollers. By the time it came out, the grains had been separated from the stalks, clean as a whistle.

It was an even cleaner separation than when they threshed it by beating the stalks with all their might.

"Gu Zhiqing is incredible."

In that moment, even those who had been resentful couldn’t help but admire Gu Jiaojiao.

If she had the skills to get out of manual labor, they were more than happy to let her.

From now on, no one was to say a single bad word about Gu Jiaojiao in their presence. If they heard anyone do so, they’d make sure that person regretted it.

Those who had the machine easily earned several work points.

Meanwhile, the thirty-odd households that had badmouthed Gu Jiaojiao grumbled and toiled all day. After working themselves to the bone, they had only managed to earn five work points.

Li Hongmei looked at the blisters on her hands and burst into tears of frustration.

Her original job had just been to sort the seeds, which was relatively easy work. But this time, the brigade leader had assigned her to digging pits.

It was back-breaking work. After just half a day of swinging a hoe, her hands were covered in blisters. The pain made Li Hongmei wail.

Unfortunately, not a single person sympathized with her.

Li Hongmei cried for a while. When she saw everyone heading back, she knew it was time to return for a meal.

But as soon as she returned, she was driven out by Chen Ruoyu.

"We have no room for shameless people like you in the educated youth quarters. From now on, you’ll cook for yourself. We’re eating separately."

Humiliated because of Gu Jiaojiao during the day, only to come back and be bullied by her fellow educated youths—Li Hongmei finally snapped.

"By what right? I contribute my share of the grain! Why can’t I eat?"

"By what right? By the right of you being a petty, backstabbing, ugly, and vicious person." Chen Ruoyu usually couldn’t be bothered with Li Hongmei, but she had gone too far this time. Chen Ruoyu wasn’t about to indulge her.

Li Hongmei hated being called ugly more than anything. She pointed a finger right in Chen Ruoyu’s face and started screaming insults.
