「Zhiqing Point」
Deng Xiaojie almost picked the vegetables bare. "Why can Chuyunyi get away with being lazy at the village health clinic? It's just not fair."
Cui Aiju scooped a ladle of water into the vegetable-washing basin. "Enough. She earned her place at the clinic with her skills. There's no unfairness in that."
She was quick-tempered and refused to be taken advantage of, but she also knew what was what. Chuyunyi understood medicine; how could they compare with her?
Deng Xiaojie had hoped Cui Aiju would share her resentment. She was taken aback when Cui Aiju suddenly switched sides. "Cui Aiju, what do you mean by that?"
Cui Aiju rolled her eyes. "If you think it's unfair, go complain to the brigade leader. Don't take it out on me."
Deng Xiaojie tossed the vegetables in her hand. "Cui Aiju, you wish! Expecting me to lead the charge for you? Do you take me for a fool?"
Cui Aiju gave a scornful smile. "Think whatever you want."
