Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 100: No More Playing Along

The words spoken at the Dingping Production Team were so steadfast, but now their attitude is a huge contrast, full of shy hesitation, and the words are utterly disgusting. Yi Roujing was tired of dealing with Wang Qiushuang.

"After you get married, don’t greet me, just pretend we don’t know each other. I have my pride," Yi Roujing said, wiping her sweat, her expression filled with disgust and impatience.

"Roujing, how can you say that about me? I’m also forced into this, I..."

"Enough, I don’t want to hear it. It hurts my ears," Yi Roujing interrupted, "Whatever you do is none of my business. We are not suited to be friends, let’s not interact in the future."

"Roujing, what did I do wrong? Tell me, and I’ll change. We’ve been friends for so many years; how can we just break it off? I..." Wang Qiushuang was already in tears, her expression unbearably mournful, as if she had suffered a great grievance, which further disgusted Yi Roujing.

"Ding Ancheng is not far away. If you want to act, do it in front of him; it’s useless in front of me," Yi Roujing bluntly said. "What your intentions are, I might not have understood before, but now it’s crystal clear."

"Consider the benefits I gave you as my selfless contribution. If you provoke me again and again, I’ll settle scores with you. Isn’t what you’re wearing now clothes that originally belonged to me?"

"What do you mean? You gave them to me, and now you want them back?" Wang Qiushuang’s expression turned fierce.

"As you said, they were originally mine. If I really want them back, what reason do you have to stand on?" Yi Roujing calmly said. "So if you really want to keep them, don’t provoke me. I was already annoyed that you were always in my face, pretending so much. Honestly, dealing with you is quite bothersome."

"Yi Roujing, what do you mean? I’ve considered you my best friend all these years, I..."

"Wang Qiushuang, don’t take people for fools. You only take advantage of me, talking about loyalty." Yi Roujing’s sharp gaze swept over, instantly extinguishing Wang Qiushuang’s fire.

"Before, I was willing to let you take advantage, and you should have known when to stop, but I’m not willing anymore. The mask is off, and from now on we should go our separate ways," Yi Roujing said, taking large strides forward.

"Who cares about being with you, stupid to death. You think Ding Ancheng really likes you? If it weren’t for your pretty face, who would want to marry you?"

"Can’t get the grapes, so you say they’re sour. I understand. You’re just jealous of me, but so what? Ding Ancheng is very good to me now. His family treats me well too. Whether a person is smart or not, good fortune is what’s important," Yi Roujing said with a smile, indeed noticing Wang Qiushuang’s face growing darker.

"Ding JianShe is a formal worker at the food factory, not inferior to Ding Ancheng," Wang Qiushuang angrily retorted.

"So what?" Yi Roujing laughed. "When Ding JianShe stands in front of our Ding Ancheng, he’s not only a head shorter but also much uglier, but he’s just right for you."

"You..." Wang Qiushuang was truly furious.

"Oh, right, given all these years of ’affection,’ here’s a piece of advice for you: It’s better to be genuine. Your angry, insulting self looks much better than your hypocritical fake smile."

"If you had been genuinely yourself earlier, maybe we could have been friends, but now it’s too late," Yi Roujing said, waving her hand behind her as she walked away.

Behind her, there was the sound of screaming and stomping, and Yi Roujing inexplicably felt much better, relishing the taste of winning a verbal battle. Refreshing.

However, after taking a few steps, she saw Ding Ancheng, corners of his mouth curled, eyes teasing. Yi Roujing restrained herself a bit, "You’re really fast."

"Our lady of the house is quite good with words," Ding Ancheng whispered with a smile.

Yi Roujing gave Ding Ancheng a side-eye.

"Wife, can you call me Cheng from now on?" Ding Ancheng requested for himself.

Cheng! Yi Roujing’s face immediately blushed red, and she couldn’t help but give Ding Ancheng a pinch. Of course, Ding Ancheng knew why, and his smile grew even larger.

"Don’t listen to the nonsense from those women in the team anymore. Look at how their son-in-law behaves, being completely handled by our daughter." Yi Shunyin and Liu Huilan came out to check as they hadn’t come back for a while and saw the interaction between the young couple.

"Got it, got it," Liu Huilan turned back to the house.

After breakfast, Ding Ancheng and Yi Roujing headed back. In just half an hour, they reached the Dingping Production Team, where the fields were already full of workers planting rice seedlings.

When they got home, Ding Anmin was there, helping Xia Xingchen move things.

"Ancheng Brother, Sis-in-law," Xia Xingchen greeted them with a smile as they returned.

"You’re back," Ding Anmin came out of the house, clapping his hands. "Xingchen is now officially a part of our family."

"Welcome, welcome," Yi Roujing applauded.

Ding Ancheng remained relatively calm, nodding in agreement.

"Rumble—"

A tractor drove into the Dingping Production Team, and it was Secretary Li Liangfei from the Tongxian Commune, driven by Gu Shizhao.

Ding Xiaoding wasn’t expecting any notice and upon seeing Secretary Li Liangfei getting down from the tractor, came straight out of the paddy field, "Secretary Li, what brings you here?"

Li Liangfei warmly shook hands with Ding Xiaoding, "Captain Ding, you’ve worked hard. These days with the busy rice planting season, I saw along the way that the Dingping Production Team’s paddy fields are almost done. Working even on May Day, you’re truly good comrades and good people for the country."

"Secretary Li, you’re too kind. It’s our team’s job, and it concerns everyone’s livelihood," Ding Xiaoding replied modestly but was actually quite delighted inside. Being praised by the commune secretary meant their Dingping Production Team might be named the excellent team by the end of the year.

"Secretary Li, you’re the one working hard, even working overtime on holidays. You’re a great example of serving the people." Ding Xiaoding’s flattering remarks were endless, much to Li Liangfei’s satisfaction.

"I’ve been to other teams before, and the Dingping Production Team is my last stop," Li Liangfei said with a smile. "Coming here, besides checking on the spring planting, I also want to meet the good comrade who’s eager to help others. I’m wondering where Comrade Yi Roujing is?"

Before May Day’s holiday, Li Liangfei received a call from the Provincial Public Security Department. Wow, it was the deputy director calling, with words of praise for the Tongxian Commune, saying a good comrade from his jurisdiction showed commendable bravery and courage, and the family of the person rescued wanted to send a banner to the commune.

Li Liangfei understood immediately. If a banner went directly from the provincial department, the person rescued must be someone important. The deputy director wasn’t calling to thank him but was subtly asking him to look after this good comrade.

Even if it wasn’t to thank him, it was a way to look out for him. If he handled this well, the leader would remember his name, something others couldn’t even dream of.
