Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 If you have any objections, you can report them to the higher-ups.

In Songling Village, the newly appointed brigade leader, Qiao Yougen, was assigning tasks to the educated youth at the Zhiqing Point.

Deng Xiaojie spoke up, "Brigade Leader, Chu Zhiqing hasn’t shown up for work for several days in a row. Is she taking leave again today?"

Qiao Yougen looked up. "Chu Zhiqing has been seconded by the higher-ups. I’m afraid she won’t be able to return to work in the village during this time."

Deng Xiaojie looked incredulous. "Seconded again? Is that true?"

Just then, the Branch Secretary interjected, "Educated Youth Deng, the secondment letter can’t be faked. If you have any objections, you can report them to the higher-ups. It’s not as if we can override their decisions, can we?"

That remark made Deng Xiaojie not dare to press further. "I was just asking; I meant nothing else by it."

However, Chu Zhiqing being seconded again became the hot topic in the fields that day. "You know, that Chu Zhiqing is really something. She’s hardly worked in the fields since coming to the countryside, and now she’s been seconded away again."

"I just overheard the Branch Secretary telling the Brigade Leader that Chu Zhiqing’s secondment this time will likely be for a long period."

"People with real skills are just different; they can make their way anywhere."

"Ever since Chu Zhiqing left the village clinic, there’s been no one to give me acupuncture for my rheumatic leg. The symptoms were getting better, but now they’re worsening again."

"Didn’t you go see Doctor Gong about it?"

"I did, but he’s not good at acupuncture. He only prescribed some medicine. It just treats the symptoms, not the root cause, only relieving the pain."

"Then when Chu Zhiqing came back the other day, why didn’t you ask her to give you acupuncture?"

"After all, Chu Zhiqing isn’t responsible for that anymore. How could I have the nerve to ask her? If I really did, how could I face Doctor Gong later? That Xue Linfang from the Xue family would roll her eyes into next week!"

Nearby, Qiao Yuxiang glanced in their direction, then silently looked away. It wasn’t just others; even she felt a twinge of envy toward Yunyi. I know medicine too, she thought. Even if my medical skills aren’t as good as Yunyi’s, I’m still better than that Xue Linfang. If I had let everyone in Songling Village know about my medical skills when I first arrived, would I still have to endure this back-breaking farm work?
