Zhao Hongying's foot injury was not serious. Grandpa Ye helped her without taking off her shoes. He pulled it, twisted it, and pushed it back. The pain was gone instantly. Grandpa Ye said, "Although it doesn't hurt now. But you can't take it lightly. You should rest well for a few days and stay out of the ground. It's still a little bruised."

Zhao Hongying nodded in agreement, and Ye Jinyi followed suit, nodding continuously. Grandpa Ye was amused by his silly look. His second grandson was usually calm and quiet, rarely showing such a silly look. It seemed that there would be another happy event in their family.

Ye Jinyi insisted on sending Zhao Hongying back, so she let him do it, but she didn't let him hold her anymore.

Ye Jianguo had just heard Li Baoguo and Zhao Hongying explain the whole story. He knew that it was Li Qingqing who attracted the wild boar. He was very angry and wanted to go to the educated youth site together to give them a beating.

With Ye Jianguo with them along the way, Ye Jinyi and Zhao Hongying didn't say anything.

When they arrived at the educated youth center, Li Qingqing was already awake and crying on the kang in the dormitory. Wang Qiuju and her sister tried to soothe her, but inwardly they were indifferent. She deserved it. They hadn't let her go, but she insisted on going. Wasn't it just to compete with Zhao Hongying? It really made her stand out.

Ye Jianguo and two others arrived at the educated youth site. Ye Jianguo stood in the yard of the site and roared like a tiger: "Everyone, come out." Everyone in the room was frightened.

They just saw Li Qingqing being sent back crying, and they knew something had happened, but Li Qingqing just kept crying and they couldn't ask anything. The people who sent her back didn't pay any attention to them.

The people in the brigade didn't like the educated youth in the first place, and usually they didn't pay much attention to them unless it was necessary. Ye Jinyi didn't care what his father was doing. He sent Zhao Hongying to her own room and didn't stay for long. He told her to have a good rest and then left the room and stood next to his father.

People in the house came out one after another and stood scattered in the yard. Ye Jianguo looked around at everyone and his eyes fell on Li Qingqing, who was leaning against Wang Qiuju and sobbing.

"You're crying, and you still have the nerve to cry? Don't you realize how much trouble you've caused?" Ye Jianguo began to criticize Li Qingqing. "In your eyes, human life is worth less than your cat urine. You almost killed someone, don't you know that?"

When the others heard the word "human life", they instinctively felt that the matter was serious, otherwise the captain would not be so angry. They all turned their eyes to Li Qingqing, whose nose was crying and her eyes were red.

Li Qingqing also felt wronged. She didn't mean to do that. When had she ever been humiliated by someone like that before? Being scolded like that in front of so many people, and the looks they cast on her made her feel like she was being treated like a monkey, was extremely humiliating. So she started to defend herself, "I didn't mean to do that. How could I have known there were wild boars in the mountains? I was scared to death, okay?"

"You didn't mean to do that. You went into the mountains by yourself. You didn't know there were wild boars on the mountain. Was this your first day in the team? You were so scared. There were four people collecting firewood, why did you have to sneak into the mountains alone? You even attracted a wild boar to hit people. Three people were injured, and one of them almost died. But you didn't lose a single hair. You still have the nerve to feel wronged." Ye Jianguo pointed at Li Qingqing and spoke like a machine gun.

Don't talk to him about being gentle with women. Except for a few women in his family, the rest are outsiders, regardless of gender. If he provokes you, he will beat you up.

Li Qingqing was frightened when she saw Ye Jianguo glaring at her and scolding her. She no longer cared about her face and shrank behind Wang Qiuju and her sister. The two sisters had never seen Ye Jianguo so angry before, and they were also very scared and kept backing away.

The educated youth were as quiet as quails, and Zhao Jianshe, the educated youth leader, could only bite the bullet and step forward and say, "Captain, calm down. The child is still young and doesn't understand. Don't bother with her."

Ye Jianguo said angrily: "Just because you're young, you can do whatever you want? If no one saved her today, would she still be standing here alive?"

Li Qingqing was stunned by what Ye Jianguo said about someone almost dying. She had just come back and did not see the tragic scene of three people being taken down the mountain. She thought they could all be rescued like her, and even if they were injured, they would definitely not be seriously injured. She did not expect that someone almost died.

"What do you mean by not caring? I'm telling you, you have to pay for the medical expenses and nutrition expenses of all three people. For the two with minor injuries, you have to pay 20 yuan each. For the seriously injured one, you have to pay 200 yuan. The rest of the punishment will be calculated after the spring plowing."

Ye Jianguo directly punished Li Qingqing, then said to the others: "And you all remember this, don't make such a mistake again. Be honest and don't go into the mountains without permission. You must go up the mountain in groups, especially in this season, when wild animals often roam the mountains. If something like this happens again, you will bear the consequences!"

"I don't care how much work you educated youth do. You're the ones who are starving anyway. If you have money to buy grain, the brigade will sell it to you. Just one thing: behave yourself every day you're in Qingshan Brigade. Don't cause any trouble. Anyone who does will be punished. Anyone who disobeys me will be sent away without mercy."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood. Li Qingqing also lowered her head in a daze and said nothing. After Ye Jianguo finished speaking, he asked Zhao Jianshe to arrange for two people to go to the clinic to take care of the two injured people. When they were almost recovered, they would be taken back to be nursed back. Then he and Ye Jinyi turned and left, leaving the people in the yard looking at each other in confusion.

Through this incident, they got to know the newly appointed captain a little better. He had a bad temper and was not easy to mess with. They had to be sure not to get into trouble in the future. If they really sent him away, they would have no way out.

They knew exactly where the educated youth who made mistakes would be sent. It would definitely be to the farm. There would be no good days ahead of them. At this moment, the educated youth were mentally tightening their belts.

Ye Jianguo and Ye Jinyi returned home. Ye Jinyi went to his own firewood pile and tied up two bundles of firewood, saying that he wanted to send them to Zhao Hongying. Something like this happened today and several people failed to collect firewood. He didn't care about others, but Zhao Hongying couldn't be without firewood.

Seeing him like that, his family members didn't say much. At that age, even a pig would learn to go out and dig up cabbages. It was understandable. They didn't think it was a big deal that Zhao Hongying was one year older than Ye Jinyi. It was fine as long as they were willing. Who cared what others said?

Even Mu Yunzheng called her sister every day and Ye Jinhua accepted it, so this little bit was still missing.

Ye Jinyi handed the firewood to Zhao Hongying, lit the stove for her and left without staying long. After all, reputation was of great importance at this time, so of course he had to be more careful and wait until the wedding wine was ready, Ye Jinyi thought to himself.
