Li Hongmei was scared.
Her greatest wish right now was to return to the city.
’Just to get back to the city, I even accepted Hu Ziqiang, a man I’d previously looked down on. I’ve made such a huge sacrifice, how can anything go wrong now!’
As Li Hongmei, her face pale, rapidly weighed the pros and cons, the team leader approached.
He, too, was getting fed up with Li Hongmei.
’You’re one of the educated youth sent to the countryside, can’t you just do your work properly? All you do all day is run your mouth, badmouthing Gu Jiaojiao.’
’To put it bluntly, that girl has contributed so much to the team. Can you even compare?’
’You can’t hold a candle to her, yet you’re still here consumed by petty jealousy. Who could put up with that?’
"Li Zhiqing, we’ve just started work and you’re already here stirring up trouble. What are you gossiping about Gu Zhiqing for now?"
Aunt Leng was scared.
When Leng Qiushou had threatened to split the family yesterday, he hadn’t been bluffing in the slightest.
’Her son was demanding to split the family while she was still alive. If word of this got out, how could she ever show her face again?’
But she didn’t dare say a word.
First, she had cost her eldest son his job. Now, she had lost him the spot to learn pig-rearing techniques as well. Only now did she realize that as long as Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao were in the Qingshan Team, she would never be a match for them.
Because of the incident with Leng Qiushou, Aunt Leng had secretly cried into her blankets all night, unable to sleep.
She was on edge as it was.
And now Li Hongmei had come over to badmouth Gu Jiaojiao again.
Aunt Leng instinctively threw Li Hongmei under the bus.
Now, seeing the team leader approaching, she immediately repeated what Li Hongmei had said.
Li Hongmei was scared to death.
’She desperately wished she could turn back time. She would have just quietly done her work and never said a word.’
But the words were already out. Li Hongmei, however, reacted quickly. She immediately started playing the victim, begging for forgiveness.
