Chapter 72 She has the ability to treat illnesses
Half an hour later, Jiang Li returned to the Victory Production Brigade in a car. Seeing Jiang Li arrive in a car, the team members looked at her in astonishment.
Jiang Zhiqing was amazing! Had she been doing something for an important person? Otherwise, why would she have such treatment? It seemed that Jiang Li was hiding her abilities; they had always thought she was just like the other returned educated youths, without any special skills. Jiang Li returned relatively early, just as the brigade leader was assigning work.
Jiang Li went to Li Changping and asked him to assign her work for the day. Li Changping remembered that Jiang Li had been out helping someone yesterday and asked, “Jiang Zhiqing, do you need a day’s rest? If so, you can take the day off; I’ll approve your leave.
” Li Changping still remembered Jiang Li’s kindness towards his family. Jiang Li shook her head, “No, Brigade Leader, I don’t need a rest. Assign me work as usual.” Seeing that Jiang Li looked fine, Li Changping didn’t say anything more.
“Okay, since you don’t need a rest, work with everyone else.” Li Changping assigned Jiang Li, Mu Jingxun, and Bai Zirong to the same group. Mu Jingxun and Bai Zirong were happy to see Jiang Li back. Mu Jingxun had been wondering if Jiang Li would be delayed, but she returned so quickly. “Jiang Zhiqing, you’re back?” Mu Jingxun greeted Jiang Li with a smile. Jiang Li felt that Mu Jingxun’s gaze was a little too intense, and his smile was overly enthusiastic.
Was he unusually happy to see her? Bai Zirong also came forward, smiling, “Sister Li, you’re back! Good thing you didn’t delay for a few more days; Xun Ge would have missed you terribly.” After Bai Zirong finished speaking, he saw Mu Jingxun glaring at him, so he quickly added, “And me too, I would have missed you terribly.
” Jiang Li took Bai Zirong’s words as a joke and didn’t think much of it. The three of them received their work assignments and went to the fields. Neither Mu Jingxun nor Bai Zirong were gossipy and didn’t ask Jiang Li what she had done yesterday.
But the other members of the brigade were curious and gathered around Jiang Li, asking her what she had been doing and how she knew someone who drove a car. Jiang Li vaguely replied, “Nothing much, just helped someone with a minor ailment.
” Hearing Jiang Li’s answer, many team members were surprised, “Oh, Jiang Zhiqing, you can treat people too?” “Yeah, Jiang Zhiqing, why didn’t you mention this before?” Their production brigade lacked a doctor.
Other brigades had barefoot doctors, but theirs didn’t. Without a doctor, it was troublesome for team members to see a doctor if they fell ill; they had to go to the commune’s clinic, which cost money.
In these hard times, no one wanted to spend money on medical treatment. If Jiang Li could treat people, the team members could save a lot on medical expenses! Before Jiang Li could answer, Liu Yulan, who was not far away, became agitated.
She couldn’t stand Jiang Li’s success and being admired. In a moment of anger, forgetting the taboo of not provoking Jiang Li, she said sarcastically, “Jiang Li, you’re such a braggart.
I’ve never heard that you studied medicine. You’re boasting because people don’t know you.” After Liu Yulan finished speaking, she saw Jiang Li’s icy gaze fixed on her. Meeting Jiang Li’s cold eyes, Liu Yulan admitted she was scared.
Why hadn’t she controlled her mouth and provoked Jiang Li? What if Jiang Li retaliated and she ended up like Sun Wenwen? If Liu Yulan hadn’t spoken, Jiang Li would have forgotten about her. Since Liu Yulan was seeking her own demise, Jiang Li decided to grant her wish. Jiang Li immediately produced a bad luck talisman.
Without needing to take action herself, she let bad luck torment this woman, letting her experience the misery of everything going wrong. Seeing Jiang Li only sneer at her without saying anything, Liu Yulan felt relieved but also uneasy. Women’s intuition was accurate, and Liu Yulan soon suffered misfortune.
While working, she slipped and fell into the field, landing face-first in the mud, injuring her face and body, and bleeding profusely. Worse, Liu Yulan seemed to have broken her leg and felt excruciating pain.
With Liu Yulan’s screams, everyone’s attention turned to her. Seeing Liu Yulan’s miserable state, no one sympathized with her; instead, they found her incompetent.
Even the simplest task could cause her to fall like this. Li Changping rushed over after hearing the commotion. Seeing Liu Yulan’s state, he twitched his mouth.
Liu Yulan was a liability. The brigade couldn’t ignore Liu Yulan’s injury, so Li Changping had the team members help her up. “Liu Zhiqing, how are you? How did you fall like this?” Liu Yulan subconsciously felt that Jiang Li was involved.
Jiang Li smiled meaningfully at her, and Liu Yulan felt like something had pushed her, causing her to fall. She believed her feeling; she hadn’t fallen but had been pushed.
After Li Changping’s inquiry, Liu Yulan angrily pointed at Jiang Li, “Brigade Leader, Jiang Zhiqing did this! I didn’t fall by myself. Brigade Leader, I’m in so much pain! I want Jiang Zhiqing to pay for my medical expenses.
” As soon as Liu Yulan finished speaking, an old woman next to Jiang Li scolded her, “Bah, Liu Zhiqing, everyone saw it. You’re so shameless! Jiang Zhiqing was so far away from you, and it was in broad daylight. How could she harm you? You’re blaming Jiang Zhiqing for your own clumsiness!” After the old woman finished speaking, many team members nodded in agreement.
Li Changping said to Liu Yulan displeasedly, “Liu Zhiqing, you need evidence. In broad daylight, Jiang Zhiqing couldn’t possibly harm you in front of so many people. Don’t frame her.” Liu Yulan was speechless. Someone had clearly pushed her, but everyone said they hadn’t seen anything.
Why was Jiang Li so sinister? Although Liu Yulan was unwilling, she had no evidence, so she said to Li Changping, “Brigade Leader, I’m in so much pain. Please send me to the clinic. I think my leg is broken, and I can’t continue working.
” Li Changping hated Liu Yulan’s tendency to not only fail to do her work but also disrupt others. She was a burden to the brigade.
