Chapter 233: Guilty or Not Guilty
Jiang Xiaoxiao finished writing the self-reflection letter and looked at the sky outside.
Actually, the sky was already a bit dark.
But she had promised to deliver it today. If she didn't, she estimated Director Jin might really jump up and add her to that list.
She wasn't afraid of supporting frontier development; for Jiang Xiaoxiao, rural life wasn't new.
Having lived it for decades in her past life, was she afraid to do it again?
Supporting the construction in Xinjiang was a good thing for her; after all, it was a fresh start.
No issues at all.
There are blessings one can't enjoy, but no hardships one can't endure.
Besides, even if she was added to the list, so what? She's getting ready for the university entrance exam, and she's confident she'll get into college after the exam.
The dream she didn't fulfill in her past life, she must achieve in this lifetime.
In her previous life, not being formally trained was the reason she faced discrimination as a rural doctor. All her medical skills were earned through hard-earned experience, which meant she took many detours.
Despite lacking formal knowledge, she still reached that point. This time, she would earn a formal education to become a legitimate doctor, ensuring no one looks down on her.
Every escape route was inconsequential to her.
She was different from others because she didn't find rural living unsatisfactory.
She was confident she could manage it even better.
One Director Jin couldn't stop her.
But teaching Director Jin a lesson was a must; as she prepared the inspection, she got up to head down the mountain.
It takes more than an hour to walk to the farm.
Coming back would be a problem.
But she had to go.
Director Jin was leaving tomorrow, so she'd lose the chance.
With the letter in hand, Jiang Xiaoxiao stepped out and was blocked by Song Moting.
"Where are you going?"
He immediately noticed the paper in her hand.
His heroic brows furrowed, and he stared at Jiang Xiaoxiao with an unyielding expression, demanding an explanation.
Jiang Xiaoxiao paused, wanting to say she was going to deal with Director Jin, but who would believe such empty words?
Besides, she couldn't say she knew from her past life.
That would seem monstrous.
"I'm going to the farm to submit the self-reflection!"
A legitimate reason.
Song Moting smiled subtly; Jiang Xiaoxiao probably didn't realize that when she lied, her ears would turn red.
She'd also unconsciously avoid others' gazes.
"Hand it over!"
A large hand stretched out with a steel will that brooked no argument.
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Why should I give it to you?"
She guessed Old Mrs. Song would definitely talk to Song Moting, but Song Moting couldn't ruin her plans.
This rare opportunity was her chance to ruin Director Jin's reputation; otherwise, it would be hard to find another opportunity later.
"I'll submit it for you! It's too dangerous for a girl to go downhill this late; I can't be at ease. The authorities will surely understand."
Song Moting smiled knowingly; Jiang Xiaoxiao was definitely hiding something.
Her nature was never quiet in the face of defeat.
Especially when Old Mrs. Song just vividly recounted things, Song Moting could guess that Director Jin was probably not a good person. It would be too late if she hurried after midday and went up the hill.
Meeting a pretty educated youth at night, given those stories of bullying educated youths, he couldn't ignore them.
Not a few production team leaders have made advances on pretty female educated youths, let alone a Director Jin with life-and-death power over them.
Director Jin's rumors were well-known; nobody didn't know about him.
Although Song Moting hadn't gone downhill, he heard other educated youths chat about it.
What Director Jin intended was obvious to him!
He couldn't let the woman he liked be delivered to Director Jin; what kind of man would he be?
Promising to protect his woman, if he couldn't even manage this tiny matter, Song Moting might as well die several times. What was the point of living?
Jiang Xiaoxiao pouted; dealing with Director Jin was no problem for her, but if Song Moting got involved, she couldn't intervene.
"Director Jin said I should submit the self-reflection in person and sincerely admit my mistakes. If you send it, what would that mean? If Director Jin finds fault, saying my report was poorly written, wouldn't that be troublesome?
It's better that I go myself. Besides, I'll go quickly and be back in two hours at most. If you're not at ease, you could walk me to the farm. After I submit the report, we can come back together."
As long as she got a chance to be alone with Director Jin, Jiang Xiaoxiao was confident she could make Director Jin suffer a stroke or something similar with no problem.
Her aim wasn't to take Director Jin's life; she's not that skilled.
Even after suffering so tragically, she hadn't turned into a bloodthirsty killer by the end.
Don't think reincarnation is omnipotent.
Through reincarnation, she only came back as one person, still holding to basic ethical and moral standards.
Asking her to kill would be too much; she couldn't do it.
She just wanted Director Jin to suffer the hardships she endured in her past life.
In her previous life, Director Jin nearly drove Jia Shu to death, and because of him, Jia Shu ended up going to the frontier, perhaps looking to start anew.
But Jia Shu never got the chance.
Remembering Jia Shu's misery in her past life, all because of her, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt she needed to avenge this hatred.
Song Moting quickly seized the self-reflection, "He Aiguo, Gu Dali, you both keep an eye on Jiang Xiaoxiao, let her stay indoors tonight, and she's not allowed to leave.
If anyone lets her out, and I find out later, tomorrow, they'll be clearing all weeds in the ginseng field by themselves."
Song Moting tucked the self-reflection into his pocket and strode away.
He Aiguo and Gu Dali came out as soon as they heard the noise, and upon seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao standing at the entrance and Song Moting leaving, they knew he was really upset. They've never seen Song Moting so angry before.
This really was the first time.
"Xiao Xiao, hurry inside; it's cold in the evenings, what if you catch a chill?"
Gu Dali didn't dare to drag Jiang Xiaoxiao by force, but his tall figure blocked the courtyard gate, determined not to let Jiang Xiaoxiao have any chance of leaving; he knew his boss wouldn't let them off unless they complied.
If they really let Jiang Xiaoxiao outside tonight, clearing the weeds in the field would be their task.
Typically it would take ten people at least ten days to complete that work; doing it with just the two of them would be exhausting.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was amused and pointed at the fan in Gu Dali's hand.
"Big brother, do you still need a fan at night when it's cold?"
Gu Dali blushed. Indeed, he was holding a big fan, and because it was too hot to sleep at night, he was fanning himself vigorously. It was so hot on the mountain; one could imagine how hot it must be down there!
He had just claimed it was cold; his words contradicted the truth.
