Zhao Guihua hadn’t finished speaking when Yunyi cut her off, "Auntie, you’ve helped me a lot since I came to the village, and naturally, I should repay your kindness, but I can’t accept any more things from you."
Zhao Guihua couldn’t agree, "Chu Zhiqing, this is just a little token of my appreciation, you mustn’t refuse."
Early that morning, she had returned to her parents’ home and told them the news about the job recruitment. Her young nephew was thrilled. For the past few days, her family hadn’t made him work, instead allowing him to prepare for the exam with all his heart and soul.
Whether he could pass the exam or not, it was an opportunity provided by others, so the gift of thanks certainly couldn’t be omitted.
In the end, the eggs were left behind, but Yunyi grabbed a handful of fruit candies from the cupboard and placed them in the basket, "Take these fruit candies back for the children to enjoy a sweet treat."
Zhao Guihua, seeing she couldn’t push them away, said, "The little ones are certainly in for a treat." Follow current novels on novel•fire.net
Thinking that she would also be leaving after the grain distribution tomorrow, Yunyi said, "Auntie, there’s something I want to give you a heads-up about."
Zhao Guihua slung the basket on her arm, "What is it? Tell me."
Yunyi cleared her throat lightly, "After the grain distribution tomorrow, I’ll be transferred to Hua’an Farm Reclamation."
Zhao Guihua was at first startled. "Why are you being transferred there all of a sudden?"
But then, thinking that they provided salaries there, she said with reluctance, "It’s actually a good thing. After all, the educated youths there receive wages. I’ve heard they even have a big dining hall, and you won’t have to tire yourself cooking after work."
Yunyi nodded in agreement. "One doctor at their clinic is being transferred, and there’s a vacancy. I thought I could use my knowledge to work there, so I agreed."
Zhao Guihua sighed inwardly. Losing Chu Zhiqing, with her excellent medical skills, is Songling Village’s loss.
She patted Yunyi’s hand. "Make sure to visit the village when you have time. Take good care of yourself, and if you run into any trouble, just let me know. I’ll still come over and protect you."
Yunyi smiled and nodded. "Alright."
After seeing off Zhao Guihua, Yunyi saw it was getting late and started to tidy up before heading to the back mountain.
She had to go up the mountain first to add more firewood to the cave where the meat was being smoked.
At the Zhiqing Point, Deng Xiaojie looked at her packed luggage, her eyes filled with resentment.
How could things have turned out this way? I just don’t understand!
That vixen Chuyunyi is perfectly fine, while I’ve lost all face and now I have to marry that wretched Zhang Mazzi!
And upon thinking about what the people at the Zhiqing Point had been discussing earlier, she was even more infuriated. I’m stuck in a quagmire while she basks in glory! It’s nearly driving me insane with anger!
Why is that wretch so lucky?!
Meanwhile, the others in the same room had varied thoughts.
Bai Suli, who had come to the village in the same batch as Yun, spoke in a mocking tone, "I really don’t know what she’s thinking."
Cui Aiju snorted. "She just has money to burn."
They might not have known exactly how much Yunyi had d, but it was certainly a substantial amount. Qiao Yuxiang, who was sitting at the head of the kang bed, then idly commented, "It’s all just for show."
Her words were heard spot on by Geng Erhong, who had just come in. "If you don’t have anything to say, no one will take you for mute. If you dare, go talk to the village cadres. Nobody’s donating your money. I think you’re just full and have nothing better to do! Is it wrong for someone to make contributions to the disaster-stricken area?"
Geng Erhong was truly angry. Clearly, Yunyi was doing good, yet these people were just making sarcastic comments, which was utterly nauseating.
At that moment, Li Rongjuan, who followed behind into the room, added, "Geng Zhiqing is right. You are indeed going too far. If someone with ulterior motives heard this, you would have a hard time."
