Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Investigating your situation is a procedural necessity, please understand.

At the Branch Secretary’s home, the meal had just been set on the table.

The Branch Secretary’s wife, Hu Shanmei, called out to the yard, "Dongzi, call your younger brother and sister back for dinner."

The Branch Secretary, who was chatting with his sons in the courtyard, tapped his tobacco pipe lightly a few times. "Alright, let’s eat."

As they sat down, Hu Shanmei began serving rice and asked, "Husband, is Chu Zhiqing really going to work the fields for work points from now on?"

Whenever Yang Gengtian discussed this matter, he felt uncomfortable. "That girl from the Xue Family can’t tolerate others, and the Squad Leader has his own agenda. Things just turned out that way."

Ge Lihua, the Yang family’s third daughter-in-law, chimed in, "It’s a waste of Chu Zhiqing’s excellent medical skills. Just you watch, Xue Linfang will regret it."

Guo Xiaoyu, the Yang family’s second daughter-in-law, who wasn’t very quick-witted, asked, "Third Sister-in-law, why would Lin Fang regret it?"

Ge Lihua glanced at her slightly slow-witted second sister-in-law. "Chu Zhiqing was pushed out by that girl Lin Fang, but Doctor Gong’s family never explicitly agreed for her to consult patients during her recuperation period. Besides, I heard from Weimin’s wife, Ma Huihui, in the fields today that Doctor Gong plans to have a good rest at home during this time."

At this point, the Branch Secretary’s wife, who had finished serving the rice, spoke up, "Everyone saw how critical Doctor Gong’s condition was that day. If it weren’t for Chu Zhiqing’s intervention, Doctor Gong might have been in grave danger. The Gong family’s children are all filial. When they say she should rest well, they mean it. Not to mention, Chu Zhiqing is Doctor Gong’s life-saving benefactor. What do you think Doctor Gong will do?"

Yang Shouguo, the Yang family’s third son, holding his bowl, remarked indifferently, "Xue Linfang overstepped her bounds. Doctor Gong would hardly be pleased. Originally, Doctor Gong didn’t have a high opinion of Xue Linfang. Had it not been for the Squad Leader intervening forcefully, it wouldn’t have been her turn. After all that time studying, she hasn’t shown much progress. Even when dispensing medicine, she needed Doctor Gong’s confirmation before letting the commune members take it. How much of a mentor-disciple bond could Doctor Gong have for her? But Chu Zhiqing is different. She has genuine skills and helped Doctor Gong. It’s not hard to guess how the Gong Family will choose. Why do you think Ma Huihui made those comments in the field today? That was to express the Gong Family’s stance. Just you wait and see."

The Branch Secretary sighed. "Enough, let’s eat. The Xue Family has brought this upon themselves. No one else can do anything about it."

After the braised noodles were ready, Yunyi brought a large basin of them next door, along with a bowl of chilled cucumber salad.

Once they were inside, Huo Jingrui was captivated by the room’s decor, thinking, This Chu Zhiqing truly has an elegant and refined nature; the room is arranged so tastefully. But he quickly refocused.
