Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: If they aren’t holding that spot, why should they do that work?

Just then, the Production Team Leader came over. "What’s going on here?"

Xue Linfang hurried to take the initiative. "Team Leader, I’m returning to work starting today. Chu Zhiqing mentioned earlier that you also had her fill in temporarily. Now that Doctor Gong is returning to the village and I’m starting work, she should step down now that her work is done. I figured the village health clinic doesn’t see many patients on a typical day, so I thought villagers needing medical attention could see Doctor Gong at his home. I can just work a bit harder when needed. If Chu Zhiqing works in the fields, the production team will gain another laborer, and we won’t be wasting work points."

Xue Linfang had been able to study under Doctor Gong only because her Third Sister-in-law, Xu Hongzao, was Xu Wenchang’s niece; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been her turn.

The Production Team Leader was already quite dissatisfied with Chuyunyi’s tactlessness and was naturally not inclined to side with her. He had been wondering how to deal with her anyway. "Lin Fang is right. There’s indeed no need for three people in the village health clinic. So, Chu Zhiqing, you’ll return to working in the fields starting today."

Yunyi naturally wouldn’t object. "Okay, I have no objections. However, since the Branch Secretary and the Production Team Leader are both here, it’s a good time to go over the clinic’s accounts to put everyone’s mind at ease."

Xue Linfang had wanted to make an issue of this, but she hadn’t expected this Chu Zhiqing to be so astute. Still, getting rid of her was the main thing; the rest were minor details.

The Branch Secretary could see that the Production Team Leader was doing this deliberately. Seeing that Chu Zhiqing also didn’t want to partner with Xue Linfang anymore, he didn’t say anything further.

He called out to the accountant in the crowd, Lu Dahai, "Dahai, come here."

Lu Dahai was meticulous. Over the past few days, he had recorded every transaction in the clinic’s accounts clearly. Yunyi was also diligent; the medicines in the cabinet were arranged very neatly. It didn’t take long to check everything.

Yunyi pointed to the herbs drying on the trays inside. "These are herbs I collected and processed myself. They’ll be ready for use after about one more day of drying."

Then, she handed over the keys. "Branch Secretary, here are the keys to the health clinic. Please take good care of them."

She turned to Xue Linfang. "I’ve completed the handover on my end. Do you have any questions?"

A flash of triumph crossed Xue Linfang’s face. "No, I don’t."

Xue Linfang naturally understood her meaning. She did want to cause trouble, but the clinic was tiny, and in front of so many people, she couldn’t very well make things difficult for Yunyi. "No more problems," she said.
