Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: If it can be settled by force, she definitely doesn’t want to waste her breath.

Back at the Zhiqing Point, several of the older educated youths had already washed up and were getting ready to rest.

Qiao Yuxiang saw the new educated youths come in. "Your grain has been placed on the shelf by the door by Cheng Zhiqing. You should take care of it yourselves."

During dinner, Wang Jianhui had explained that everyone stored their own grain, taking out as much as they needed. However, the new arrivals were late. If they wished to join the communal meals, they would need to contribute money for the vegetables from the private plots.

Nobody had any objections to this. After all, the older educated youths had taken the trouble to grow the crops.

Yunyi glanced at the big kang, then turned to look at the several tables placed by the window. "I’ll make do with a table for tonight."

Cui Aiju turned to Li Rongjuan, who had followed her inside. "What did the Branch Secretary say?"

Li Rongjuan did not hide anything. "Chu Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing rented the courtyard left by Jiao Zhiqing and Yan Zhiqing."

Deng Xiaojie, for reasons of her own, drawled, "That house? At night, you can see the stars from inside. How can anyone live there?"

Li Rongjuan glanced at her. "The Branch Secretary said he would find people to help with repairs tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaojie’s expression suddenly changed, and she clenched her hands into fists involuntarily. "Didn’t the Branch Secretary say just a few days ago that the village had no money for house repairs? So how is it getting fixed tomorrow?"

Li Rongjuan, retrieving her washbasin from under a table, responded, "It’s because Chu Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing paid six months’ rent in advance."

Deng Xiaojie shot a malicious glare at Yunyi’s back, unable to contain her anger. "The Branch Secretary really is something! Since he had this idea, why didn’t he tell us beforehand?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Yunyi did not turn around, but she could guess this person’s thoughts. Her ability to judge people seemed as accurate as ever. Deng Xiaojie was clearly going to be trouble.

Since the matter was settled, she was not afraid of Deng Xiaojie causing trouble. If push came to shove, force would settle it—by subduing her if necessary.

With her intentions laid bare by Yunyi, Deng Xiaojie flushed, unable to save face. "You’re the ones bullying people!"

Yunyi had no intention of arguing further with such a person. If something could be settled with force, she had no desire to waste words. She grabbed Deng Xiaojie, pulled her down from the kang, and dragged her out of the courtyard. "Team Leader, come out for a moment!"

No matter how much Deng Xiaojie struggled, it was useless.

Wang Jianhui, who had just finished washing up and was about to climb onto the kang, was startled by the noise outside. "What’s going on? What happened?"

Yunyi pushed Deng Xiaojie in front of him. "This Deng Zhiqing claims we’re bullying her. We can’t just let her make false accusations."

Wang Jianhui, not knowing what had transpired, looked towards the several female educated youths who had followed them out. "What’s the matter?"
