Chapter 33: The Demoted Person

Now that they can live alone, Su An and Sun Xinxin are the only ones there, so they don’t have to worry about so many things. 

They can eat whatever they want without worrying about being noticed. 

The next day, the whole production team knew that Su An and Sun Xinxin were living alone.

The team leader had arranged to build a house before, but everyone didn’t know that it was built by Su An. 

Now everyone knows that Su An is so rich that she built such a big house by herself.

When Gou’s mother saw that Su An’s conditions were so good, she started to worry again.  If Su An marries their Er Gou, wouldn’t the house built by Su An belong to their family?

Gou’s mother knew very well that if she introduced her son to Su An directly, Su An would definitely look down on her son. 

If they could spread rumors about Su An, saying that Su An was hooking up with a wild man, Su An would definitely not be able to get married after losing her reputation, and their family said that they didn’t mind and were willing to marry her back, wouldn’t Su An be grateful to them?

After Gou’s mother had made up her mind happily, she went to work on this matter.

Su An didn’t know that Gou’s mother was playing this trick behind her back.  She finished her work in the morning, had a meal at noon, and continued to go up the mountain in the afternoon. 

She didn’t encounter any big prey on this trip up the mountain, but she did pick up a few pheasants and rabbits.

Su An was not greedy, and she thought it was good to get some.

Unexpectedly, she met an old man when she was going down the mountain.  The old man was wearing very shabby clothes, not to mention his complexion.  You could tell at a glance that he had been starving for a long time and was skinny.

Su An saw that the old man fell to the ground with a face full of pain.  She stepped forward and said, Uncle, what’s wrong with you?

The old man’s name was Wu Mingzhong. Wu Mingzhong saw Su An coming over.  He remembered that she seemed to be a new educated youth in the production team and had killed a wild boar. 

When Su An came back carrying a wild boar that day, Wu Mingzhong took a look from a distance. The aura of this girl is really extraordinary, not like an ordinary girl.

I accidentally fell down when I was going down the mountain, and my foot seems to be injured.

Su An heard Wu Mingzhong say this, and squatted down to check the old man’s injury. He was indeed injured, but it was not particularly serious. His foot was swollen and sprained. He would be fine after a good rest for a while.

Su An took out a patch and helped the old man put it on his ankle. This ointment has the effect of clearing blood stasis and reducing swelling. It will be fine after a few days.

After helping the old man put on the patch, Su An continued to take out a few patches of plasters and handed them to Wu Mingzhong, Uncle, take these back, apply them once every two days, and you will be healed after a few times.

Su An took this patch from her space. There are all kinds of medicines in the space, and the effects of these medicines are much better than those on the market.

After Wu Mingzhong put on this patch, he immediately felt that the pain in his feet was relieved a lot. He was a little embarrassed to accept the patch sent by Su An.

How can I be so embarrassed…

Su An stuffed the money directly into the man’s hand, What’s there to be embarrassed about? It’s worthless, so you can keep it. 

By the way, your feet are not convenient for you to go down the mountain, I will take you back, where is your home?

Su An thought Wu Mingzhong was a member of the nearby production team, so she asked this question.

Wu Mingzhong hurriedly said to Su An, Girl, no need, I think my feet are better now, I will try to go back slowly by myself. I am a demoted person, you can’t get involved with me too much, otherwise it will implicate you.

Su An was stunned when she heard what Wu Mingzhong said.  Demoted?  Many of those who were sent down at this time were big men. 

Because she had lived two lives, Su An knew the history of the future.  For these people who were sent down, they would be able to go back one day. 

Of course, the premise is that these people have the life to go back.  Many people died in the local area when they were sent down. 

It was not easy for the educated youth who went to the countryside to die at this time, let alone these people who were sent down.

It’s okay, I’m not afraid. I’ll be careful later and try to hide from people. It will be difficult for you to go down the mountain by yourself, and it’s getting dark now. It’s not safe on the mountain.

Wu Mingzhong didn’t expect Su An to insist on sending him back after knowing his identity. His luck today is really good. 

He met a good comrade.  If it were other team members, let alone getting any help, it would be good if they didn’t step on him.

Su An wanted to help Wu Mingzhong, but found that even if she helped, Wu Mingzhong still walked very slowly on one foot. 

Su An simply suggested to carry Wu Mingzhong down the mountain. 

If Wu Mingzhong had not seen Su An carrying two big wild boars with his own eyes, he would definitely not let a little girl carry him.

Su An easily carried Wu Mingzhong on her back. Even with the weight, Su An walked very fast.

After going down the mountain, Su An was cautious and tried to avoid people.  After all, it would be troublesome if someone saw her in contact with the people who were sent down. 

Fortunately, after Su An deliberately avoided people, she sent Wu Mingzhong to the cowshed without meeting anyone along the way.

Needless to say, the environment in the cowshed is very difficult.  It is conceivable how difficult life is in such an environment.

While waiting for Wu Mingzhong to be sent to the place, an old lady came out of the house. Like Wu Mingzhong, she looked very thin, and she was also very vicissitudes and tired. 

Looking at Su An who came with Wu Mingzhong, Mrs. Wu was shocked for a moment. Usually, these team members and educated youths try to stay away from them.  Seeing them is like seeing the plague god. 

How come an educated youth suddenly comes now…

Wu Mingzhong naturally saw the confusion in his wife’s eyes, and explained, I accidentally sprained my foot when I went up the mountain this time. 

Fortunately, this educated youth Su met me and sent me down the mountain.

Mrs. Wu asked why Wu Mingzhong didn’t come back for so long today. It turned out that he had encountered something. 

She nodded to Su An and said, Su An, thank you for helping my wife.

Su An said in a calm voice, It’s okay, I sent the person here. Pay attention to rest these days, take good care of yourself, and try not to walk around.

Okay, I remember. Wu Mingzhong nodded.

Su An was about to leave, and seeing that Mrs. Wu and Wu Mingzhong had become so thin, he sighed silently in her heart. The soft-hearted problem still can’t be changed. I have been caught in the rain, so I want to hold an umbrella for others.

Su An took out a pheasant from her backpack and said, If you are injured, you need to heal it. Take this pheasant.

Wu Mingzhong firmly refused the pheasant Su An gave him.  He had received so much help from others, so how could he accept their pheasant? 

Meat is so expensive these days, and many people can’t eat meat for several months. As a result, Su An just gave a pheasant to others.

Seeing that Wu Mingzhong and Mrs. Wu didn’t want it, Su An threw it on the ground next to him and strode away.
