Chapter 20: Getting rid of the original plot

As Gu Ye had said before leaving, Shen Zhiyu went to work with Chen Cuijuan and the others the next day. Everyone in the village knew that Shen Zhiyu had been sickly as a child. And she had gone to school, could speak a little Mandarin, and had a good voice.

Unlike them, the people on the other side couldn’t understand what they were saying. So when Shen Dahe assigned the coveted job of production team operator to Shen Zhiyu, everyone was unhappy, but they didn’t say anything. Why was this job considered a hot commodity? It had the same work points, but she only needed to sit in the production team office beforehand, and when there was a call, she would use the loudspeaker to notify people to answer it.

Overall, this job was relatively easy. Shen Zhiyu took her key, opened the office door, took out her pen and notebook, and waited for someone to call. Before going to work, everyone would first gather in formation at the labor square and recite quotations.

Their village was poor, they didn’t have a black box, they relied on Shen Dahe to shout at the top of his lungs. Shen Dahe stood at the front of the crowd with a book of quotations, leading everyone to shout until his voice was hoarse. Although Chen Cuijuan was fierce, she still felt sorry for her husband. Seeing that the sun was about to rise, she quickly told Shen Zhiyu to go back to the warehouse, while she went to bring Shen Dahe some water to drink. In the book, Shen Zhiyu disliked this job, she was stuck here all day, like a fool, she couldn’t go out and watch Jiang Wenbin, and she was always suspicious that young female comrades were flirting with Jiang Wenbin while working in the fields. She readily gave up this good job that Shen Dahe had painstakingly secured for her to He Qing.

 Looking at the sun outside, Shen Zhiyu twitched her lips. The Shen Zhiyu in the book was like she was possessed, she didn’t want to do the good job of operator, she had to go work in the fields. According to the plot progression in the book, a few days after she got married to Jiang Wenbin, He Qing would deliberately come in front of her and say that she saw someone talking to Jiang Wenbin, and in a fit of anger, she would “give” the position of production team operator to He Qing. But now her husband was Gu Ye, He Qing shouldn’t come, right?

Shen Zhiyu was still thinking about this when He Qing came over. “I need to make a call.” It was mid-to-late July, the hottest time of the year, and also the busiest time of the year for them, known as the double rush. They had to harvest the early rice and plant the late rice before the end of the month. Everyone was sweating under the scorching sun in the fields, their clothes were wet and dry, dry and wet again, the sour smell could suffocate you. As for their skin, it was tanned dark after a few days. In comparison, Shen Zhiyu was sitting in the office, not working, not in the sun. He Qing looked at Shen Zhiyu, who was clean and tidy, and then looked at herself, covered in mud, the smell of sweat, earth, and sourness mixed together, she suddenly felt a strong sense of imbalance.

And she also felt strange, clearly Shen Zhiyu had loved Jiang Wenbin to death before, how come she suddenly got married to someone else? And she had a strong feeling. This job of production team operator should be hers! Although He Qing’s eyes weren’t big, her black pupils were very large. She stared intently at Shen Zhiyu, with an indescribable strangeness. Shen Zhiyu frowned, feeling a little uneasy from her gaze. “Register first.” “Okay.

” He Qing bent down to register, and when Shen Zhiyu helped her transfer the call to the commune, and then from the commune to the county, she suddenly said, “I saw Zhao Di keep getting close to Jiang Wenbin, they were talking the whole time.” Shen Zhiyu, who had been nonchalant just now, suddenly froze. Her reaction, in He Qing’s eyes, was ironclad proof that she still cared about Jiang Wenbin, that she still liked him. She knew, how could a person change so quickly?

According to Shen Zhiyu’s sharp and sarcastic personality, she should go find Shen Dahe and say that she didn’t want the operator job anymore. At that time, she would think of a way, wouldn’t the job of production team operator be hers? Shen Zhiyu frowned; she froze not because Jiang Wenbin was talking to other female comrades. But because this sentence was exactly the same as what He Qing had said to her in the book. It was too uncanny. Could it be that He Qing was the chosen one from the book, who had divine sight and could see the future? “Thank you.” Shen Zhiyu finally responded.

He Qing’s heart instantly relaxed. But before she could completely relax, Shen Zhiyu continued, “I’ll tell my dad later that Jiang Wenbin was slacking off and talking to female comrades while working, this is a waste of collective time, he must have his work points deducted!” He Qing: “…..???” This….. wasn’t what she had imagined. Seeing her reaction, Shen Zhiyu was secretly delighted. She cleared her throat and curiously asked, “But I’m also very curious, don’t you like Jiang Wenbin?

You were always trying to get in my way when I was dating him. Now I’ve broken up with him, and you’re running to me to say bad things about Jiang Wenbin, what’s the meaning of this?” “Could it be that you don’t actually like Jiang Wenbin, you just want to steal my boyfriend?”

 “I…” He Qing opened her mouth to explain, but suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned her head and saw Jiang Wenbin standing not far away, looking at them coldly, his expression particularly grim. “You did this on purpose!” He Qing’s face changed drastically. Shen Zhiyu innocently raised her eyebrows, “What did I do on purpose?

 Didn’t you suddenly come running to me and say that Jiang Wenbin wasn’t working properly and was talking to female comrades?” “Wenbin, that’s not what I meant.” He Qing tried to explain, but Jiang Wenbin just glanced at Shen Zhiyu, who was standing there gloating and pretending to be innocent, then turned and left in big strides.

He Qing didn’t even think twice before chasing after him. Watching them leave, Shen Zhiyu was about to go crazy with joy. She clenched her fists and excitedly jumped up and down on the spot. What a trash book, as long as you don’t care about men, those idiotic plots won’t happen!
