Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Xue Family’s Concerns

The Xue family in the village had the strongest reaction to Yunyi starting work at the village health clinic.

When Zhang Qiufen, the second daughter-in-law of the Xue family, heard that the team leader and Branch Secretary had arranged for the new arrival, Chu Zhiqing, to work at the health clinic, she was beside herself with worry.

After all, her sister-in-law, Lin Fang, worked at the health clinic where she could earn eight work points a day. If Lin Fang lost that job, given her delicate nature, she would hardly be able to compete for even five work points.

She glanced around the room. "Dad, Mom, can’t Lin Fang really come back earlier?"

Old Madame Xue lifted her eyelids slightly to look at her second daughter-in-law. "Hasn’t this matter already been settled? Why bring it up again?"

Zhang Qiufen added some vegetables to her bowl. "You all must have heard about the village cadres assigning that new Chu Zhiqing to the health clinic, right?"

Old Madame Xue gave her second daughter-in-law a cold look. "Didn’t the team leader say that it was just temporary? What are you so anxious about?"

Zhang Qiufen couldn’t care less about her meal. "Mom, that Chu Zhiqing truly has medical skills. This morning, she even saved Yaya, the daughter of your third daughter-in-law’s second elder brother."

Xu Hongzao disagreed. "Second Sister-in-law, her working at the health clinic and treating people is her duty. What’s all this talk of saving lives? It’s as if my family owes her a debt of gratitude."

Zhang Qiufen disliked Xu Hongzao’s attitude the most. "Whether it’s her duty or not, she saved your little niece, and that’s a fact. After all, the doctors at the commune health center didn’t cure your little niece’s illness."

Xu Hongzao said, somewhat displeased, "Second Sister-in-law, after all that, are you just trying to make me feel indebted to Chu Zhiqing?"

Zhang Qiufen couldn’t be bothered with her sister-in-law anymore and turned to her mother-in-law. "Mom, I’m just worried that if Chu Zhiqing wins people’s hearts, and if the villagers want her to stay in the health clinic, then what will happen to our Lin Fang?"

After speaking, he cast a displeased glance at his third sister-in-law. This third sister-in-law is getting more and more overbearing, he thought. Just because she has an uncle who’s the team leader, she really thinks she’s someone important, always trying to lord it over my wife.

It was obvious whom the villagers would choose; there was no need to guess.

Besides, Chu Zhiqing had once saved Doctor Gong. Owing to this life-saving deed, he would likely side with Chu Zhiqing. Therefore, her second daughter-in-law’s worries weren’t entirely unfounded.

Yunyi had no idea that her merely filling in for a few days had caused the Xue family so much deliberation. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She was getting ready to finish her shift when she heard someone entering the health clinic.

Looking up, she saw Gong Baotong and Xie Juanzi coming in, carrying something.

Yunyi couldn’t help but ask, "What brings you two here?"
