Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1110: Chapter 1020: Those Years 30

Lin Laoer secretly scorned Lin Qianqian for having a big chest and no brains, but he couldn’t afford to offend her, so he insisted on demanding a thousand yuan and a thousand jin of grain coupons before he’d agree to help.

Lin Qianqian and Lin Laoer kept bickering endlessly, and up in the tree, Wen Shuangshuang couldn’t stand it any longer. Lin Qianqian was truly vicious beyond hope.

Wen Shuangshuang was pondering how to teach Lin Qianqian a lesson when she noticed a large wasp nest on the treetop above where Lin Qianqian and Lin Laoer were standing.

Wen Shuangshuang grinned maliciously and snapped off a branch, throwing it fiercely at the part where the wasp nest was attached to the tree.

Using great force, Wen Shuangshuang’s thrown branch knocked the wasp nest down at once.

It landed right on Lin Qianqian’s head, and the nest shattered over her, releasing swarms of wasps that instantly targeted Lin Qianqian, stinging her ruthlessly.

Lin Laoer, who was standing nearby, got caught up in the chaos as well, stung several times by the wasps because of his proximity to Lin Qianqian.

A wasp sting is very painful, and since wasps are venomous, being stung multiple times can even be life-threatening.

Both Lin Laoer and Lin Qianqian knew the danger, so seeing the dense swarm of wasps scared them into screaming loudly, frantically waving their limbs as they ran down the mountain, trying to escape the wasps’ attack.

Unfortunately, these wasps are quite vengeful. Their nest had broken on Lin Qianqian, so they identified her as the enemy who had destroyed their home, chasing after Lin Qianqian and Lin Laoer relentlessly.

Their screams echoed far, and given the recent steady stream of people picking mushrooms on the mountain as well as the proximity of their location to the foot of the mountain, their cries were quickly heard.

Soon, a group of mushroom pickers, drawn by the noise, rushed over, only to witness the two being pursued helplessly by the wasps.

Concealed by the trees, Wen Shuangshuang hid her presence, watching as Lin Qianqian stumbled upon a small slope in her haste to escape. Seeing an opportunity, Wen Shuangshuang flicked a small pebble at Lin Qianqian’s ankle.

Lin Qianqian yelped in pain at her ankle, lost her balance, and fell tumbling down the slope. She crashed into a big rock at the bottom, striking her thigh’s root area against it, instantly collapsing in a heap.

The wasps that had been swarming around her seized the chance, assaulting her in a blind frenzy.

Fortunately, by this time, the group drawn by the commotion had arrived, and if the wasps had continued stinging, Lin Qianqian might not have survived.

Several people waved their clothing to chase away the wasps that were stinging Lin Qianqian fiercely, rescuing her at last.

Without making an appearance, Wen Shuangshuang, upon seeing Lin Qianqian saved, shouldered her basket and continued deeper into the mountains.

To ensure she had an alibi, Wen Shuangshuang ventured deeper in, gathering rare mushrooms and wild fruits that were sparsely found in such remote spots.

When the sky was nearly dark, Wen Shuangshuang returned down the mountain, her basket filled to the brim.

Upon her return, Wen Shuangshuang noticed the production team’s unusual atmosphere, prompting the gossip-loving Sheng Zongze to immediately share the village’s news with her.

Apparently, when the mushroom pickers brought Lin Qianqian and Lin Laoer back, their bodies had no untouched skin left due to the wasps’ stings.

Those living in rural areas knew how venomous wasps could be, truly capable of killing, so they sent the pair to the town’s clinic without delay.

Luckily, despite their wretched state from the wasp stings, Lin Qianqian and Lin Laoer were in no danger of dying, needing only some medicine to apply.

The trouble stemmed from Lin Qianqian’s fall down the slope when she collided with the rock, resulting in a pulverized fracture of her pelvis on one side.

The clinic dared not treat her, promptly transferring Lin Qianqian to the county hospital, where she was destined for a lengthy stay.

Moreover, Lin Qianqian’s injury seemed likely to leave sequelae, like a limp or leg pain during rainy weather.

Initially, Wen Shuangshuang thought Lin Qianqian might realize she was manipulated into tumbling down the slope, but surprisingly, Lin Qianqian missed this entirely.

Given the bevy of wasps stinging her, when her ankle hurt from the pebble, Lin Qianqian assumed it was another wasp sting, blaming her bad luck for the fall.

This enabled Wen Shuangshuang to thoroughly distance herself from the matter, rendering her carefully prepared alibi unnecessary.

The incident between Lin Qianqian and Lin Laoer had subsequent repercussions, with the production team hotly debating why Lin Qianqian and Lin Laoer, two solitary figures, appeared on the mountain.

Even though many did venture to the mountain for mushrooms, the routes were few, and much of the mountain remained isolated, igniting a flurry of speculation about the duo’s isolated meeting.

Grounded in the sheer oddity of the situation, given Lin Qianqian and Lin Laoer’s seemingly unrelated backgrounds, suspicions proliferated.

Linking Lin Laoer’s good looks and reputation for charming young women, including past entanglements with Zhou Meijuan, imaginations ran wild, altering perceptions of even Qu Chengdong.

Qu Chengdong’s demeanor was somber these days, perhaps still captivated by Lin Qianqian’s beauty but disillusioned by her serial dramas, unable to escape disappointment.

This time, Qu Chengdong visited Lin Qianqian once at the hospital, leaving some money, but didn’t visit again.

As Lin Qianqian lay subdued, Wen Shuangshuang enjoyed a period of serene, tranquil life, free of the bothersome, buzzing nuisance, refreshing the very air.

Lately, Wen Shuangshuang thrived while Lin Qianqian’s unexpected severe injury caused her little surprise, considering the era’s lackluster doctors, leaving her genuinely crippled.

When Lin Qianqian returned from the hospital, it was right in time for the production team’s frantic autumn harvest, with Captain Lin Cheng’an neglecting formal mobilizations due to his daughter’s situation, focusing on the urgent harvest.

The feverish work charged forward until completion, marking everyone’s favored stage: distributing grain according to work points.

Due to her industriousness, Wen Shuangshuang earned the most work points and thus the largest grain share, evoking envy but not jealousy since others knew they couldn’t match her work pace.
