Chapter 597: Chapter 596: The Tyrant Makes a Dazzling Entrance

Lin Nianhe was tightening screws in the warehouse while other educated youth from the Lan County Commune were moving bricks.

But only the educated youth from the Nine-miles Team and the Ten Miles Team were assigned to the construction of the match factory, others were busy expanding the textile factory.

There wasn’t much work in the fields at this time, and the strong labor force from the village and the old builders had come too; they were mainly responsible for building, while the educated youths were handling brick moving and aiding.

Wang Shumei and a few others had only moved bricks three times when they were too tired to straighten their backs.

Sun Guanghui came over pushing a handcart, seeing Wang Shumei drenched in sweat, he whispered, "You female educated youth can load the carts here, don’t run back and forth."

Wang Shumei hadn’t even responded when Duan Hongmei, who was passing by, suddenly interjected, "Oh, the female educated youth from the Ten Miles Team are so delicate? Someone worries about them just walking a few steps, this isn’t going to the countryside, this is like becoming capitalists somewhere else."

She scanned around, didn’t see Lin Nianhe’s figure, and continued sarcastically: "Indeed, the most delicate one of them didn’t even come, what makes her so special? What, is she made of gold, afraid of getting lost?"

Wang Shumei and Wang Xue both turned their heads to look at her, both wanting to retort, but upon clearly seeing Duan Hongmei’s look, both were surprised and wide-eyed, forgetting what they were about to say.

The last time they saw Duan Hongmei was when the last autumn harvest was delivered, although she was miserably beaten by Lin Nianhe at the time, she was full of vigor.

Now she had lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were sunken, her eyes venomous like a poisonous snake from the mountains, appearing as if she wanted to ruthlessly bite everyone equally.

Wang Xue gathered herself after a moment of shock, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted: "Compared to you, we are of course delicate, after all, it’s not everyone who can bounce around lively as if nothing happened after swallowing a steel ball."

It was no secret that Duan Hongmei swallowed a steel ball last year attempting to fake illness for discharge; the commune criticized this "individual educated youth" in a meeting with all the youth. Although Wong Xiao spared her some dignity by not naming names, the story had long spread.

It was said that every time the Educated Youth Corps of the Nine-miles Team had a study meeting, Duan Hongmei would be singled out for a lecture.

After making a fuss, Duan Hongmei not only failed to get discharged for illness but also lost all her dignity and even ended up with a long, sinuous scar on her abdomen.

Wang Xue’s words struck Duan Hongmei hard, her face instantly darkened, staring at Wang Xue’s somewhat whitened face with a sinister look.

Wang Xue didn’t bother with her, snorting lightly and turning away to continue loading bricks onto the handcart.

Wang Shumei also didn’t want to deal with someone like Duan Hongmei and moved to the other side to carry bricks.

With them no longer speaking, Sun Guanghui found it even harder to argue with the female comrades, he could only suppress his anger, pushing the handcart away.

He hadn’t walked far when suddenly he heard a scream from behind.

Followed by the sound of bricks falling to the ground and another exclamation.

Sun Guanghui turned around to see Duan Hongmei straddling Wang Xue, a brick shattering on her head.

And Wang Xue, having fallen, had knocked over several bricks, and Wang Shumei was pinned underneath.

"Shumei!"

Sun Guanghui’s pupils constricted, he dropped the handcart and rushed to save Wang Shumei.

He was quick-witted today, charging to rescue while not forgetting to call for help: "Wen Lan!"

Sister Lan was only a step behind Sun Guanghui; she kicked Duan Hongmei in the lower back, sending her flying two meters off Wang Xue.

Before Duan Hongmei recovered, a flurry of punches rained down on her following a shout, "I’ll beat you to death."

At this moment, Wang Xue’s face was covered in blood, dazedly holding her head, unable to even find her cry, "Hongqi, Hongqi, I can’t see!"

Miao Hongqi, from a distance, hurriedly ran over, using the loudest voice of her life, yelling: "Team leader! Team leader! Something happened!"

She anxiously ran over and embraced Wang Xue, tremblingly prying her hands open, barely discerning that it was her forehead that was hurt and not her eyes, she quickly said: "Xiao Xue, don’t be frightened, your eyes weren’t injured, it’s just blood, blood is blurring them."

Wang Xue didn’t know whether to feel relieved or sad, leaning in Miao Hongqi’s embrace, she burst into tears with a loud sob.

Over there, Sun Guanghui and several male Educated Youth Corps members were removing bricks from Wang Shumei’s body; he couldn’t care about anything else, put his arm around Wang Shumei’s shoulders and asked her, "Shumei, how are you feeling? Where does it hurt?"

"I’m fine, I just fell and scraped my skin a bit," Wang Shumei rubbed her legs, then said to Yufei standing beside her, "Hurry, don’t let Xiao Lan be beaten."

Fourth Sie casually picked up a brick: "Don’t worry! I’ll handle it, beat them dead!"

Wang Shumei: "..."

She was also stunned from the fall, having unexpectedly entrusted the least suitable person.

Luckily, just before Yufei’s brick landed on Duan Hongmei’s head, Li Dahe and He Aimin arrived.

"What are you doing? What are all of you doing? Isn’t working tiring enough for you lot? Still have the energy to fight?" Li Dahe rebuked with glaring eyes.

He couldn’t avoid the misunderstanding; when he arrived, he saw two men from his own Ten Miles Team grappling Duan Hongmei.

Li Dahe shouted, and upon seeing Wang Xue with her face covered in blood, his expression grew tense, immediately saying, "Quickly, bring over the tractor to take her to the health clinic, Xiao Shan, go back and get some money from your Uncle Zhao."

The cause could be inquired later, priority was to send them to the health clinic first.

The tractor quickly arrived to transport the injured; Wang Xue was carried onto the tractor by Wen Lan. Although Wang Shumei had only scraped her knee, she couldn’t stand up and was helped by Sun Guanghui to sit next to Wang Xue.

Duan Hongmei, limping, tried to get on too, only to be dragged away by her hair by Wen Lan before she could get close.

"What are you doing?" Li Dahe frowned, "Haven’t you fought enough?"

As he said this, he gave Wen Lan a look implying no matter what, she should first head to the health clinic, not to confuse who was right and who was wrong.

Wen Lan thought the team leader was urging her to quickly explain the situation, and immediately said, "She pushed Wang Xue down, beat her, and also trapped Meizi under bricks!"

Wen Lan rolled up her sleeves, resounding boldly: "If she dares to get on the tractor, I’ll punch her for every meter she travels, if she can withstand the beating, then let her get on!"

Li Dahe: "..."

He Aimin: "..."

Eventually, Duan Hongmei didn’t dare to get on the tractor, and had to go to the health clinic by ox cart.

At the health clinic, Wang Xue’s tears were dripping ceaselessly. Clinging tightly to the corner of Miao Hongqi’s clothes, she tremulously asked: "Hongqi, is my injury severe? Will it leave a scar?"

The blood on her face had already been washed clean by the nurse with saline water, but the wound was still bloody, looking somewhat frightening.

Miao Hongqi scrutinized it for a while and honestly replied: "I think it’s similar to Daxi’s injury before, she didn’t get a scar, yours should be fine too."

At the mention of Daxi, Wang Xue’s eyes brightened slightly: "Daxi got her medicine applied by Nianhe before, can you help me fetch Nianhe..."

Wang Xue’s words were not finished when the hospital room door was abruptly pushed open.

"Who dares to hit my Sister Shumei!"

With the door slamming loudly, a bully made a dramatic entrance.
