Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 115 Jiang Yun's Dark Turn

Hearing Xiong Lao Er's advertisement, Feng Qingqing didn't move. She just listened with a smile, wondering what else Xiong Lao Er would say. Feng Qingqing wasn't standing very far away, and soon people around her noticed her and alerted everyone present.

Those present, especially those who had echoed the sentiments, suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, talking about someone behind their back is one thing, but getting caught is another, especially since the person being talked about was the brigade's medic. This was a case of losing more than one gains, since no one could guarantee they wouldn't get sick in the future.

Some of those who understood immediately looked at Feng Qingqing with a smirk and said:

"Dr. Feng, what kind of talk was that Xiong Lao Er's wife just said? I disagree with it a hundredfold. After all, the conditions at our brigade clinic are what they are. You can't cook without rice, you know. I understand."

The people around them all chimed in with agreement:

"That's true, I understand, I understand."

After saying that, they scattered. Xiong Lao Er's wife, seeing this group of people, was furious. She glared at Feng Qingqing and said resentfully:

"Don't get cocky, just you wait and see, hmph."

Feng Qingqing stood there for a while, and then the group scattered like birds and beasts. She completely ignored Xiong Lao Er's family, let out two cold snorts, and turned around to go back to the clinic.

Not long after returning to the clinic, Feng Qingqing was tidying up the vegetables she had bought that morning when Hu Fangming came over. Seeing the yard full of vegetables, he asked why and found it reasonable. He then took out 1.5 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Feng Qingqing, who accepted it without hesitation. These vegetables and pickled vegetables were indeed prepared for the two of them.

As for He Yong'an's share, she might buy some more later depending on the situation.

Seeing that Feng Qingqing's foot was almost healed, Hu Fangming and Feng Qingqing chatted while working. Hu Fangming mainly talked about the affairs of the educated youth compound, especially about Jiang Yun, whom he spoke of with great enthusiasm and eloquence.

"Yesterday, Jiang Yun took leave to go to the commune to see her about her face. She took it very seriously. When she came back, she got a bunch of medicine. She applied it once when she got back, and then applied it again when she came back in the evening. We saw how carefully she was taking care of her, and we thought she would be almost healed in a couple of days. Guess what happened?"

After she finished speaking, her face beamed with joy, which made Feng Qingqing feel much happier as well.

"When I woke up this morning, there was nothing on her face. When I opened my eyes, I saw a face that was even more terrifying than yesterday. I screamed in fright. My God, you have no idea how scary it was. Small bumps were swollen up and oozing pus."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Fangming waved his hand dismissively:

"I can't think about it, I can't think about it. If I keep thinking about that scene, I'll skip lunch."

After saying that, Hu Fangming nervously leaned closer to Feng Qingqing, glancing at the courtyard gate before speaking in a low voice:

"I think Jiang Yun will definitely not let Ye Dahua off the hook. I wonder how he will cause trouble for the brigade leader's family. Such a beautiful young woman's face has been ruined like this. With Jiang Yun's vengeful nature, he won't be done until he has destroyed Ye Dahua."

Feng Qingqing thought to herself, "It's quite possible. I just wonder what will happen in the end when the two of them are fighting like dogs."

"But the brigade leader's wife didn't go to work today. I heard she was angered by her son, Xiong Baoguo, and is lying in bed unable to get up."

Hu Fangming sighed, then continued:

"You know what, these two are really destined to be together, they even have the same illness."

Feng Qingqing was more concerned about Jiang Yun's situation and casually asked:

"Jiang Yun didn't say anything while he was at the educated youth center?"

Even after all this, they haven't said anything. That's a big problem. Who knows what kind of bad things they're up to?

Hu Fangming thought for a moment after hearing Feng Qingqing's question:

"I didn't hear her say anything, she was just a bit quieter than at the beginning, but..."

He paused, then continued:

"Yeah, I feel like the way she looks at people now is creepy. Sometimes she just stares at you with those eerie eyes. Isn't that scary?"

Feng Qingqing nodded, thinking to herself: This person's mind has become twisted because of her face. I have to be careful lately. At the same time, she reminded Hu Fangming to be careful of Jiang Yun and not to provoke her recently.

Hu Fangming echoed this sentiment, saying:

"I wouldn't dare mess with her now. I want to stay as far away from her as possible whenever I see her."

Now, not only Hu Fangming, but all the other educated youth in the educated youth compound, especially the female educated youth, were walking very quietly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of angering Jiang Yun, who might lash out at any moment.

Although Jiang Yun's plight is quite pitiful, everyone in the educated youth compound is now on edge, afraid of offending her. There are resentments in everyone's hearts, after all, no one wants to live their life having to be at the mercy of another unrelated person.

Jiang Yun, whom Feng Qingqing and the other person were talking about, was sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) in the room, staring intently at a corner of the room, his eyes unblinking.

Since applying the medicine she got from the commune hospital yesterday, Jiang Yun hasn't left the house since she noticed the abnormality this morning. She went from being on the verge of collapse to sitting quietly and silently all morning, thinking about one thing.

Why is it that nothing goes smoothly for her after she goes to the countryside? She can't understand why. She has been pampered all her life since she was a child. Why did everything change after she went to the countryside?

Especially her face. She touched it and felt the uneven texture. She didn't know where things had gone wrong. She thought about it and thought, and it was probably because of Feng Qingqing. Her intuition told her that it was Feng Qingqing. If it weren't for Feng Qingqing, she believed she wouldn't be like this now.

Her brother lay in bed with a broken leg, and she herself was disfigured. For some reason, she always felt that her face shouldn't be like this. She had only been slapped a few times, so why couldn't it heal? Even the medicine she was prescribed didn't work. Moreover, she had a feeling that her face might not actually heal.

If her face can't get better, then no one else can either. If I'm gone, what's the point of having the whole educated youth compound?

She looked around with a sinister gaze, a crazy urge to tear everything apart inside her. She thought of the dreams she had before going to the countryside, and the life she should have had, which was not like this at all.

But the more she wanted to destroy everything, the calmer she became. She knew that anger wouldn't change anything; instead, it made them wary.

Having thought everything through, she didn't linger in the room any longer. Instead, she took a piece of cloth she had made the day before, covered her face, got up, and pushed open the door to leave.

Looking at the courtyard filled with sunlight, Jiang Yun felt incredibly gloomy inside; the sunlight was so blinding that he wanted to destroy it.
