Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 167 Be patient

As she spoke, she rubbed her chilblained hands intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, Feng Jixiang felt even more distressed: "Why are you like this? Why didn't you report it to the people who supervised you? If frostbite leaves a root of disease, how can you bear it in the future?"

Li Meifen said frankly: "I have told them, but they just said to be patient because this is a punishment for them and I can't do anything about it..."

The young man who was in charge of her seemed indifferent, absorbed in his duties, and almost invisible except at mealtimes.

Lan Ying had already put on her clothes and followed Li Meifen out. She stood on the doorstep and looked at the scene in front of her. She had a lot to say but ultimately was speechless. She could only stare at the two of them closely, biting her lip unconsciously.

"I feel... I'm really tired these past two days. The cold room at night kept me awake all night, and I had to work long hours during the day..."

Noticing Feng Jixiang's gaze towards her, Li Meifen could sense his heartache without much analysis.

Taking advantage of this atmosphere, she proposed the suggestion that Su Wanwan had just made: "I think if I continue to work, I'm afraid I'll collapse from exhaustion in the fields."

Feng Jixiang had been thinking about Li Meifen's work problem. After hearing what she said, he immediately decided: "Don't worry, I will find you a job that is not so tiring, so that you can rest for a few days and adjust yourself."

"Where can you find easy work?" Lan Ying outside the door couldn't help but interrupted his thoughts with a cold tone.

At this moment, Feng Jixiang also realized this problem: everything in the production team was hard and arduous, and Li Meifen had to work hard no matter where she went.

"Doesn't the health center need a lot of manpower?" Su Wanwan suddenly interrupted and made an unexpected suggestion.

Lan Ying raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "How did you know that the clinic was short of staff? Asking you and Xu Yan to stay there is already..."

"Yes, the clinic is indeed a little short of staff." Before Lan Ying's sharp voice fell, Feng Jixiang responded to Su Wanwan's words, and even a faint smile appeared on his face.

However, there was a hint of worry in this smile. Su Wanwan understood that he was worried about the relationship between Li Meifen and Lan Ying. After all, Lan Ying had spent most of her time in the village clinic since she took root in the village. It might not be appropriate to change her position in a short period of time, let alone find a place to settle down.

As for letting Li Meifen and Lan Ying work together in the clinic...

There are only a few rooms in the entire clinic, and fierce conflicts are bound to occur between the two women. Although they no longer have to deal with daily trivialities, the ensuing entanglements between the two of them may be overwhelming.

In addition, the potential conflicts between them have already begun to emerge. If more trouble arises in this small clinic, things will probably only get worse.

Thinking of this, Feng Jixiang did not express his opinion directly, nor did he turn around to look at Lan Ying, who was full of anger.

"How can we be short of staff? There are only two patients in the clinic right now. With me and my mentor, plus the two of them, there are already three people taking care of the patients in the clinic besides the doctor! Three people taking care of two people, is that not enough?"

In order to exclude Li Meifen from the clinic, Lan Ying's words became louder and louder, and she did not forget to take the time to glance at Su Wanwan beside her. She had long seen through that Su Wanwan was not a good person. She seemed quiet on the surface, but in fact she was calculating! The most sinister manipulator behind the scenes might be this person!

"Although there are only two patients, this is still a key institution in the village. It is always helpful to have more people to help, especially in the autumn harvest season, when everyone's working environment is often dangerous and a mistake can be a disaster. Having one more person guarding the clinic will undoubtedly give people peace of mind."

Su Wanwan secretly praised Feng Jixiang's words and was completely impressed by his eloquent speech. Who had ever heard that he was bad at speaking?

With his level of expression, it is really a waste of his talent to be only the deputy captain in Baihua Village.

"I..." Lan Ying opened her mouth in shock, looking at Feng Jixiang in disbelief as he suddenly spoke eloquently and defended Li Meifen's rights.

"I'll discuss it with the village chief later. Now you pack up, prepare your lunch box and water bottle, and go to the clinic to check on the situation. I'll notify you after talking to the village chief." Feng Jixiang ignored Lan Ying's emotional ups and downs and turned to Li Meifen in a calm tone.

"Well... yes." Although she was aware that Feng Jixiang had some insistence on the work arrangements of the young people in the village, Li Meifen did not expect the progress to be so smooth that she felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After agreeing, she came to her senses and turned back home to get food and a kettle.

Su Wanwan also felt that it was a little unreal. She had been thinking of other solutions before, after all, the chances of success were not high, but who would have thought that Feng Jixiang cared about Li Meifen to such an extent...

Li Meifen and Su Wanwan walked out of the house again with kettles and lunch boxes and headed towards the clinic together.

Feng Jixiang remained silent, watching their figures until they completely disappeared from his sight. Then, he turned his eyes to Lan Ying with a serious look: "Do you understand why I specially brought you to stay?"

Different from his gentle attitude towards Li Meifen just now, Feng Jixiang's words to Lan Ying were as cold as usual.

"I understand." Lan Ying felt a sharp pain in her heart, and tried to suppress her discomfort. She looked straight at Feng Jixiang who was standing in front of her: "It is because she makes your heart beat. Even if she hurts other young women and angers the villagers, you think she did nothing wrong. You are willing to meet any request she makes!"

Even though she had told herself to stay calm, her words became more intense. Lan Ying's voice was out of control in her excitement. If she was closer to Feng Jixiang, she might have stepped forward to question him.

The screams from their dormitory had already been heard, and Su Wanwan and Li Meifen, who were already far away, also heard it: "Do you want to go back and see if she is crazy?" Li Meifen stopped beside Su Wanwan.

"The captain kept her here alone, presumably for a deep discussion. It's not appropriate for us to go back like this." Su Wanwan gently blocked Li Meifen: "Besides, we can't let her embarrassment become public. It might also leak your name to other young people. Isn't it better?"

Li Meifen still had doubts, but Su Wanwan's words were quite convincing:

"Why not? There's nothing wrong with letting others know that the captain likes you. We won't be staying long anyway, so what others say after we leave doesn't matter? Wouldn't it be better if you get some rest these few days?"

This was the first time Su Wanwan heard Li Meifen thank her so sincerely. She couldn't help but feel complicated emotions in her heart: "Thank you for reminding me just now. If not for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of this solution. I thought I would work myself to death in the fields."

How does Lee Mei-fen think about Feng Jixiang's true opinion? Please continue.

The two walked forward in silence for a while, and the eaves of the health room had already appeared in Su Wanwan's sight from afar.
