Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Fang Jili was about to open his mouth to refute, but when he heard Su Wanwan suddenly bring up his father, he suddenly became nervous.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell your father about you spreading rumors in the village last night." Noticing the changes in Fang Jili's expression, Su Wanwan pushed the door open and walked out, continuing, "So if no one taught you to say that, how could you go out and spread this rumor? What good would it do you?"

Zhong Qingqing in the room also wanted to follow Su Wanwan to the outside of the clinic, but unfortunately her injured ankle prevented her from going anywhere other than the bed.

"Where are you two going!?"

Seeing that Su Wanwan had already stepped out of the clinic, Fang Jili followed her out. Zhong Qingqing on the hospital bed shouted anxiously.

"I...I just want to talk to her, you take a good rest first."

Fang Jili nervously followed Su Wanwan out.

A gust of cool wind blew up the strands of hair on Su Wanwan's forehead. After closing the door of the clinic casually, Su Wanwan stood in the center of an open space in front of the clinic and looked around.

"Zhong Qingqing asked you to say that, so you just go out and say it? What good will it do for you to spread those rumors?" After making sure that no one in the room could hear what she was saying here, Su Wanwan looked directly into Fang Jili's eyes.

"I...I just feel...anyway..."

In front of Su Wanwan, even if there was a reason, Fang Jili couldn't explain it.

"Anyway, there is no loss for you, and it can also make Zhong Qingqing, the girl you like, happy. Why not do it, right?" Su Wanwan continued Fang Jili's words calmly.

"No... not..."

Unexpectedly, Su Wanwan guessed what he was thinking. Fang Jili nervously wanted to deny it subconsciously, but apart from making a few scales, he could not utter a word.

His hesitant look further confirmed what Su Wanwan had just said.

"Do you know that because of what you said yesterday, my father and I had to sit in front of the factory for a whole night?" Suppressing her anger, Su Wanwan secretly clenched the cloth bag she was carrying.

"I'm sorry... I just... I just didn't use my brain! I will definitely not go out and say nonsense like that next time! I... I will go and apologize to the village chief during lunch break today..."

After learning what happened last night from Su Wanwan, Fang Jili's face was even more shocked. He just listened to Zhong Qingqing's words and spread a few gossips. Did the village chief actually stay at the factory gate for a night...

What if the village holds him accountable...

Would he tell his father?

Su Wanwan was about to say something when she took a breath and her eyes suddenly saw the door of a warehouse on the side of the house.

"What's that at the door?"

Su Wanwan's eyes immediately locked onto several tools at the door of the warehouse next to the clinic. Because she was far away, Su Wanwan couldn't determine what specific farm tools they were.

But as a health center, why are there farm tools?

"Ah... no... nothing, you saw it wrong." Looking in the direction Su Wanwan pointed, Fang Jili immediately saw the handle of the sickle that he and Zhong Qingqing had held when they went up the mountain together.

"What do you mean I saw it wrong? I don't even know what I saw, how could I have seen it wrong?"

Fang Jili's extreme reaction immediately aroused Su Wanwan's interest. In addition, the thing standing at the door seemed a little familiar, so Su Wanwan raised her foot and walked towards the door of the warehouse nearby.

Seeing Su Wanwan was about to go over to look at the farm tools he had prepared, Fang Jili immediately stood in front of her nervously.

"Don't...there's nothing...nothing to see. It's a bit dirty over there. It's better not to go over there."

The more Fang Jili hesitated and tried to stop her, the more Su Wanwan wanted to go over and find out what was going on.

Soon she stood at the door of the barn and clearly saw a sickle, a pickaxe and a somewhat new hoe standing beside the wooden boards of the barn.

"Can you explain to me what this is?" He picked up the sickle leaning against the wooden board. Through the early morning light, he could still see some dirt and grass juice on the blade of the sickle that had not been wiped clean in time.

It had obviously been used recently, and you could even smell the scent of autumn grass.

"That's right... I used to come to the village clinic to help out... Sometimes after working in the fields, I would just leave these farm tools here... Anyway, this... this warehouse is of no use..."

What Fang Jili said was indeed true. There were very few medicines and medical supplies in the clinic, and they were enough to be kept in the house. They did not take up any space outside the house at all, so the warehouse next to the clinic was almost always idle and empty.

"Oh." Su Wanwan casually turned the sickle in her hand and carefully observed the two farm tools beside her. She pretended to be casual and said, "Since it is what you left over from before, why didn't you take it home? Didn't the autumn harvest end a long time ago?"

Faced with Su Wanwan's question, Fang Jili looked even more embarrassed.

His brain wasn't working fast enough to begin with, and he couldn't find a suitable reason in a hurry.

"I just...just...forgot about it."

"Hmm." Su Wanwan casually held the sickle in front of the two people and pointed at the traces of green grass juice on it. "What is this? Have you used these farm tools recently?"

As soon as Su Wanwan finished speaking, Fang Jili's face suddenly became nervous, and this time he couldn't utter a word.

Fang Jili didn't say anything, and Su Wanwan continued to speculate: "The fields in the village have been harvested. You can't go to work in the fields in the village. You can only go to the mountains, right?" After repeatedly observing the marks on the sickle blade, Su Wanwan slightly curled her lips and said, "What are you going to do in the mountains? Isn't it forbidden to go into the mountains without permission in the village? Aren't you afraid of the wild animals in the mountains?"

As soon as Su Wanwan said the word "beast", Fang Jili's face turned even darker.

From the moment she saw the handle of the sickle, Su Wanwan began to feel a little suspicious.

With Fang Jili's repeated obstructions and strange behavior, Su Wanwan's suspicions were increasingly confirmed.

"I don't understand... What are you talking about? I... I know I was wrong. I... I will go and apologize to the village chief soon. This... won't be known to my father, right?"

"The approval for this factory was handled by our Party Secretary Wang. Even if you went to find my father about what happened last night, you would still end up with Party Secretary Wang. You might as well go directly to Party Secretary Wang."

Su Wanwan slowly put the sickle in her hand back to its original place, and glanced calmly at the door of the clinic behind her where there was no movement.

"As for whether Secretary Wang wants to tell your father about this, that is not my business. Since you are so afraid of your father knowing about this, why did you go out and gossip on her behalf yesterday?"

Looking at Fang Jili's dark face, which was filled with tension and fear, Su Wanwan sneered in her heart.

"I...I won't dare to do it again next time."

Su Wanwan nodded, "How did Zhong Qingqing get injured before?"
