Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 124: Unfazed

Yi Roujing came out of the cowshed and hadn’t walked far when she encountered Wang Qiushuang, holding a basket of wild herbs, waiting at the crossroads, watching Yi Roujing come over from a distance.

"You went to the cowshed?" Wang Qiushuang, now the prospective daughter-in-law of the Dingping Production Team, was familiar with places in the team, and immediately pointed out where Yi Roujing had been.

"I heard you’re about to become a nurse at the food factory’s hospital, yet you’re dealing with the riffraff living in the cowshed. How can someone like you be competent in your work and contribute to the country?"

"Anyone who associates with riffraff shouldn’t be going to work in the county town." Wang Qiushuang had already torn the mask with Yi Roujing before, and after learning that Yi Roujing was appointed a job by the county leaders for some insignificant act of bravery, she was furious.

Now that Wang Qiushuang saw Yi Roujing dealing with riffraff, a destructive thought arose; she didn’t have a job, so Yi Roujing shouldn’t even think of having one.

"I’m going to report you to the team leader right now." Wang Qiushuang’s face revealed a sinister delight.

"You’ve got issues." Yi Roujing said nonchalantly, "If you want to report, go ahead, but don’t blame me for not being forgiving if you can’t provide evidence."

"You still won’t admit it." Wang Qiushuang sneered, "This road only leads to the cowshed."

Yi Roujing laughed, "Wang Qiushuang, do you know it’s work time now? Can you confirm if there’s anyone in the cowshed? And go ask your future in-laws what I’m doing in the team right now."

After speaking, Yi Roujing walked past Wang Qiushuang and left.

Wang Qiushuang was so angry she almost dropped her basket, but remembering she had to meet Hupozi, she held back.

"Mrs. Wu." Wang Qiushuang suppressed her anger and only knocked on Wu Ajuan’s door after watching Yi Roujing enter her home.

"Oh, Qiushuang has come, come in, come in, auntie will make you some sweet water." Hupozi Wu Ajuan was very pleased to see Wang Qiushuang, considering she was about to join their family on June 15th, and seeing Wang Qiushuang’s basket full of wild herbs made her even happier.

A good-looking, hardworking girl, and importantly, filial too, bringing things over to her every so often, even if it’s just wild herbs and mushrooms, it’s the thought that counts.

"Mrs. Wu, I don’t need sweet water, plain water will do, save the sweet water for yourself, your good health is the juniors’ blessing." Wang Qiushuang spoke sweetly, making Wu Ajuan laugh in delight and still made her sweet water, which was just adding some sugar to water, but it was a special treat Wu Ajuan only offered to Wang Qiushuang.

Calling her ’aunt’, saying she looked young, was diligent doing chores around the house, sweeping the floor, washing vegetables, girls from other families should be like this, Wu Ajuan only had sons, no daughters, now she cherished Wang Qiushuang even more, it’s something Hu Ailing never enjoyed.

"Aunt, brother Jianshe is at the food factory, soon Yi Roujing will be working at the factory’s hospital too, who knows if she’ll speak ill of brother Jianshe." Wang Qiushuang expressed her worries.

"I just saw Yi Roujing coming from the cowshed."

"How can a lazy woman like her get a job, what logic." Wu Ajuan spat, "They’ve pampered this group too much, the team leader takes special care of her, letting her watch over cows, have you ever heard of any team letting a strong laborer watch cows; the county exaggerated even more, arranging a job for her."

"Why, did she save a noble? What a joke..." Wu Ajuan complained angrily, cursing Yi Roujing for a while.

But Wang Qiushuang remembered that sentence, that the team leader arranged for her to watch cows, so that’s why Yi Roujing came from the cowshed, no wonder she dared to speak so confidently to her, unafraid of being reported, now it made sense.

"But aunt, Yi Roujing didn’t come from the cowshed with any cows." Wang Qiushuang was still dubious.

"Humph, she’s got good fortune." Wu Ajuan sniffed, "This morning, Ding Anguo took them out."

"Then why would she go to the cowshed, could she have some dealings with those riffraff?" Wang Qiushuang feigned shock.

Wu Ajuan’s eyes turned, "The riffraff let the cows out before, and Yi Roujing was always cutting pigweed, so she kind of took care of him, maybe there really was some interaction."

"How can Yi Roujing go work in the city like this?" Wang Qiushuang exclaimed.

"Forget it, don’t bother about it, the team leader knows this, it’s secretly allowed." Wu Ajuan sighed, "That riffraff was sick and almost dead before, so they took care of him."

"Yi Roujing isn’t easy to deal with, she even threatened to talk to Jianshe’s leaders, we don’t have evidence, if pushed too hard, she might actually do it; if things go south for Jianshe, it would be bad." Wu Ajuan dropped the subject.

But Wang Qiushuang couldn’t quell her anger, it was like a thorn in her side, she had to find evidence, ensure she didn’t have an easy time.

Before leaving Dingping Production Team, Wang Qiushuang deliberately went around the cowshed, but saw no one, after waiting a while without seeing anyone, she happened to hear fellow villagers talking about Ding Anguo going to work in the county town.

"Today Ding Anguo told the team leader he’s not going to work anymore, he’s going to work in the county town, even showed proof, said he’s transferring the household registration, how’s their family doing so well now, becoming three official workers all of a sudden."

"Ding Anguo is an official worker too? Ding Ancheng is impressive, getting such a good spot for his brother, heard it’s in a government unit, it’s not easy to get into such units, right?"

"No kidding, it’s hard to work in the commune, getting a temporary job in a city factory is already great, let alone being an official worker."

...

Wang Qiushuang was almost breaking skin in her palm, why could Yi Roujing marry into such a family, why.

"Oh, Qiushuang, you’re here again."

Wang Qiushuang was brought back to reality by someone’s call, forcing a stiff smile.

"Don’t mention it, those from Xintang Production Team who marry into our team enjoy good fortune, Jianshe is an official worker at the food factory, he could marry a city girl, it’s a pity about Hu Ailing though, such a good kid, now her husband will be someone else’s." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Did you hear, Hu Ailing hasn’t gone back to her maiden home, no idea where she went, no news now, but someone said they saw her in the county town pushing a man, maybe a case of mistaken identity."

"Could be, if Ding Jianshe can remarry, why can’t Hu Ailing do the same, she’s not incapable of having children."

"But Ding Jianshe is good, marrying a young maiden."

...

Wang Qiushuang was now calm, indeed, the man she’s marrying may have been married before, but he doesn’t have children, it’s no different from a first marriage, moreover, he’s an official worker, her future won’t be worse than others, she should get Ding Jianshe to find a job for her.
