Wang Zhaozhao brought two benches and asked Chen Changlin, Wang Xiangdong and others to sit down. He then went to the main room to get a teapot and brought out four bowls.

After sitting down, Chen Changlin ignored Mrs. Zhou who was howling with them, but nudged Wang Xiangdong with his elbow.

Moving the stools was no big deal, nor was getting tea. The main thing was getting four bowls.

Having experienced eating in a bowl, that is, always eating in a group canteen, pots, pans, and utensils are important and scarce assets for every family.

In the village, it was not a big deal. Usually, when a few people from the village went to someone's house, they would only have one bowl and everyone would take turns pouring water to drink. There was no such thing as disgust or not. But when Wang Zhaozhao took out four bowls, this team leader who had "seen the world" felt particularly comfortable.

After Grandma Zhou finished howling, Chen Changlin, who had just drunk half a bowl of water, asked Wang Zhaozhao, "Zhao girl, Grandma Zhou has finished her talk. Do you have anything to say?"

"Chen Zhaodi and I can't play together, and I don't know how to help her wash clothes." Wang Zhaozhao stated calmly.

"You want to deny your debt..."

"Mrs. Zhou, you can't make sense by having a loud voice." As soon as Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth, Xie Ailian yelled, "You're done. Now the captain is asking about my daughter Zhao. Shut up and listen to my daughter Zhao."

Grandma, I'm done, I have nothing more to say...

Wang Zhaozhao forced a smile. "Grandma Zhou, did you ask Chen Zhaodi? Was there no one else on the dam when I went to wash clothes? Then wouldn't I have met anyone on the way? I only need to wash my own clothes, which I can do in no time. Unlike Chen Zhaodi, who has to wash clothes for your family of twenty or so people every day of the year, 365 days a year."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Wang Zhaozhao with pain in her eyes and sneered, "You are a little girl who is not loved by your father and abandoned by your mother. You really don't look like a child of the Wang family...ah..."

Wang Zhaozhao was calm, and her grandmother took action.

Mrs. Zhou was pulled by her hair by Xie Ailian and thrown backwards, and was slapped in the face. She was about to fight back when Chen Changlin shouted angrily, "Stop!"

Xie Ailian shook her off and strode away.

Seeing her breasts recede, Wang Zhaozhao straightened her clothes proudly, straightened her back, and cleared her throat secretly.

cough!

She felt she had to say something more.

"You could also say that I took the initiative to help Chen Zhaodi wash the clothes after I finished washing them, but who knew that they were ruined, so I ran away. But if that's the case, would Chen Zhaodi let me get away so easily?"

"...She was such a coward, she didn't dare to stop you then. Look at you..."

"She's not a coward, she's just stupid!" Wang Zhaozhao responded quickly. She was afraid that if she was a little slower, her milk would come out.

Chen Changlin asked Chen Zhaodi if she had anything to say?

Chen Zhaodi avoided looking at Chen Changlin, the highest official in the village.

Mrs. Zhou raised her hand to hit her, but Chen Changlin stopped her sternly, "Mrs. Zhou, what are you doing? Do you want to be made an example and sent to the commune for study?"

"No, no." Mrs. Zhou smiled apologetically, and her raised hand gently touched Chen Zhaodi's head. She said softly, "Don't be afraid, the captain will make the decision for us. Just speak up."

Chen Zhaodi trembled subconsciously, biting her lips and not daring to say a word.

She didn't dare lie to the captain, nor did she dare tell the truth.

"It seems that she is feeling guilty. Tsk! It turns out that she was pretending to be honest. She is actually a poisonous snake. She tore her own clothes and blamed others for it. She is so scheming at such a young age. Your Chen family really raised a good girl." Shi Haiyan said loudly.

Chen Changlin stood up and announced loudly, "Mrs. Zhou, you went to someone else's house to cause trouble without asking what happened. You have to compensate Miss Zhao with five eggs!"

ah?

Mrs. Zhou was shocked. "Why? Even if I was wrong..."

"You still have the energy to cause trouble? It seems the tasks assigned this morning were too easy. I'll personally redistribute your family's tasks for the afternoon!" Chen Changlin didn't bother to argue with her. He displayed his captain's authority and, at the end, warned everyone, "From now on, anyone who causes trouble will be assigned tasks by me!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and left.

He was angry not only because he believed that Mrs. Zhou was maliciously extorting money, but also because of Chen Zhaodi's bullied look.

Not only Chen Zhaodi and Wang Zhaozhao are in sharp contrast, but also Zhou Pozi and Xie Ailian. It's so annoying!

"Captain, you are wise. Take care, Captain..." Wang Zhaozhao was so servile that he almost chased after Chen Changlin to see him off.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Five eggs, specifically mentioned as compensation for her, hehe...

Unlike Wang Zhaozhao, who looked very happy, Chen Zhaodi was very upset. Her clothes had been ruined, and now not only had her grandmother suffered at the hands of Wang Zhaozhao, but she also had to pay five eggs as compensation...

She would be beaten to death and starved for days.

Mrs. Zhou's face was so dark it looked like ink could drip from it. She even heard Deputy Captain Wang Xiangdong say to the Women's Director, "I'll have to trouble you to supervise this matter. Mrs. Zhou is hopeless. As for that little girl Chen Zhaodi... you should pay more attention to her sisters."

puff!

A mouthful of blood.

The women's director sighed at her.

Chen Zhaodi's parents, always thinking they had no sons, couldn't make it on their own feet no matter how much they tried to help them, not only allowed their daughters to be bullied by Mrs. Zhou, but also by their sisters-in-law, even their nephews and nieces, because they themselves despised them! What could she do? Report to the village and have the whole family taken away to study, making an example of them?

…

Wang Zhaozhao followed Xie Ailian, holding five eggs. Before she even entered the yard, Shi Haiyan came up to her and said with a smile, "Mom, how about some eggs for lunch?" Fearing she would not agree, she thought of a reason, "As the old saying goes, you can't keep everything you get for free."

"Eat shit, you're in vain! In vain! What your niece got after suffering injustice is in vain?" Xie Ailian was annoyed when she saw her.

"Mom, look at what you're saying. My niece was wronged, so I spoke up to protect her." Shi Haiyan was thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously at all when she was scolded. She even laughed and said, "It's not that I want to eat it. It's mainly to give the children a snack."

At most, she could get a sip of soup from her two sons.

Xie Ailian was too lazy to pay attention to her and just said to Wang Zhaozhao, "The captain picked your name as compensation, so these five eggs are all yours. You can eat them however you want."

"Mom..." Shi Haiyan screamed in disbelief.

Xie Ailian pushed her away with great disgust, "Calling for your soul? Shi Haiyan, just behave yourself and don't force me to beat you up."

Wang Zhaozhao, holding the eggs, actually wanted to exchange them for money. Five eggs could be exchanged for 15 cents.

call……

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and forced a smile to Xie Ailian, saying, "Grandma, the wild vegetables I dug today are very tender. Let's add two eggs to make a pot of soup. Everyone can have a bowl. The other three can be made into poached eggs. Grandma and I will each have one."

"...Okay!" Xie Ailian was surprised by Wang Zhaozhao's arrangement. She wanted to tell her off, but after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.

Putting aside the pain of eating five eggs in one meal, she felt that Wang Zhaozhao was generous and sensible in making such an arrangement!
