Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: One Must Not Be Without Guard Against Others

As soon as these words were spoken, the Xue Family members not far away, who had been listening intently, became unhappy. Xu Hongzao, the third daughter-in-law of the Xue Family, was hot-tempered. "Doesn’t every family have its own share of major and minor matters? It’s not like Lin Fang is taking more work points from the team by asking for leave. How is it that others can request leave, but she can’t?"

"Xu Hongzao, what kind of tone is that? Besides, did I say something wrong? At the beginning, so many people wanted to go to the health clinic to learn medicine from Doctor Gong, but it just so happened that your Xue Family got the spot. What did your family promise to the brigade at that time, and what are you doing now? How is it that when you do something wrong, others can’t even speak up?"

"Who could have predicted Dr. Gong would run into trouble? You can’t blame Lin Fang for that."

At that moment, Hu Shanmei, the Branch Secretary’s wife, interjected, "Enough, let’s all speak a little less. Didn’t Chu Zhiqing just mention that the brigade leader is considering letting her fill in for a few days? Besides, Dr. Gong should be returning in a few days. Even if he is recuperating at home, if you really have an urgent medical issue, he would still help you, wouldn’t he?"

The brigade leader was unaware that as soon as he had left, Yunyi had set a trap for him. He had been waiting for Yunyi to come to him for help. But to his utmost surprise, when he was eating his dinner under the Willow Tree that evening, someone asked him, "Brigade Leader, when is Chu Zhiqing going to start working at the health clinic?"

His brow furrowed. "Who told you that?"

"Everyone in the fields was talking about it this afternoon."

His eyes darted around. "Did Chu Zhiqing say she was going to work at the village health clinic?"

The person squatted next to the brigade leader. "No, she didn’t. Chu Zhiqing only mentioned that the brigade cadres haven’t discussed it thoroughly yet. I was thinking, what’s there to discuss? We don’t have anyone else in our team who knows medicine. Since you, Brigade Leader, have already approached her in the field, it must be settled."

The brigade leader had it all planned. If Chu Zhiqing herself told people she was going to work at the health clinic, then he could deny it and teach her a lesson. But he hadn’t expected to be outsmarted by that young girl. It was clear she had orchestrated things so the villagers would pressure him. He would have no choice but to let her go. Not only did she avoid owing him a favor, but she had also completely outmaneuvered him.

What caught him even more off guard was that the Branch Secretary had somehow appeared beside him. "You told Chu Zhiqing, did you? Then I’ll give her the keys to the health clinic afterwards."

No sooner had these words come out, it was as though the village cadres had already decided. What could he say? He could only respond with a grim face, "Fine." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

However, Yunyi did not take the keys. After all, it’s important to be cautious, she reasoned. "Branch Secretary, you should keep these keys for now. I’m only filling in temporarily, so we need to take inventory of everything inside. Otherwise, should anything go missing, it will be hard to explain."

The Branch Secretary shook his head and chuckled. This little girl is really something, now she’s calling me ’Uncle Branch Secretary’ again, he mused. But he didn’t make a fuss about it. "Alright, you get on with your things. I’ll be leaving."
