Chapter 182: You are slandering me!

Seeing this, Fang Hui was completely panicked, "You...what do you want to do? This is outrageous! You didn't get any work points, why should we give you food!"

Yin Xinyi stood under the eaves, staring at her coldly, "The entire production team has not started work, we have no work points and no food, so where does your food come from?"

Fang Hui argued, "I...we saved some of the food that each family didn't finish eating!"

"Bullshit!" an indignant young man cursed directly: "I see that the rain will continue for who knows how long, you are afraid that you won't have enough to eat, so you take our portion for yourself!"

"You are slandering me!" Fang Hui stepped back nervously. "You can't just gossip about something you don't have any evidence about!"

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't give us food, you won't be able to eat a single grain of rice!"

As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.

Fang Hui was so anxious that she wished she could go to Shen's house and call Shen Chengyuan over right now. Everything she did was instructed by Shen Chengyuan, and she just got some benefits from it.

There is no reason to be used as a gun.

"You...you all calm down first and go back to the house, okay? I will report the food issue to the captain and I will make sure you have food!"

There was no way out, she was forced to compromise at this moment.

Otherwise I simply can't get away.

"Don't believe her! Let's go to her house now and take out all her food. When her family has gone, we will go to the next one. When we get the food that belongs to us, we will stop!"

Fang Hui didn't expect them to be so bold. "Are you crazy? How dare you steal food?"

"Compared to death, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

They did what they said and didn't give Fang Hui any chance to delay or evade.

Fang Hui's family had elderly and young people at home. A large group of them broke in and took away all the stored rice and grain. Her mother-in-law collapsed on the ground, shouting and crying.

The whole village knew about this incident.

In the end, Shen Chengyuan had to go out to calm the anger of the educated youth.

Not only that, he also urgently needed to find a scapegoat, otherwise he would not be able to complete his mission.

Shen Chengyuan and a group of cadres from the production brigade came. Chi Nian was still lying in the room. Hearing the noise outside, he stretched out his hand and wanted to call someone, "Yanyu...can you help me ask the captain for some medicine, ahem..."

As soon as she coughed, Qi Yanyu hid far away, with a look of disgust on her face, "Don't you have arms or legs? Can't you just say it yourself!"

Chi Nian clutched the quilt tightly. She hadn't eaten for a long time and had a fever again. "I... I really don't have the strength..."

"I don't care."

Qi Yanyu was afraid that she would infect herself, so she ran out immediately.

She just happened to run into Yin Xinyi at the door. She subconsciously lowered her head, groaned, and dived into the crowd.

In the yard, Shen Chengyuan was explaining to everyone and calming their emotions.

The light in Chi Nian's eyes dimmed little by little.

"Are you still not giving up?"

Yin Xinyi's voice came from outside the house. Chi Nian was stunned, "What..."

"Even if she abandons you again and again, don't you have any thoughts in your mind?"

No one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

It was Qi Yanyu who insisted on taking Chi Nian out. The rain outside was very heavy, so she deliberately let Chi Nian walk in front so that she could walk where she had walked.

It was also Qi Yanyu who abandoned her many times.

Chi Nian smiled bitterly, "She's just afraid of being implicated by me. Not everyone is so selfless."

"She has bullied you to this extent, and you still only want to understand her?"

Yin Xinyi was really shocked by her words. If it were her, she would definitely return the favor double!

This is also why she doesn't want to get too close to the people in this room.

No one is worthy of her true love.

Here, you can only rely on yourself, and you are the only one who is not afraid of betrayal.

Chi Nian bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say. She didn't want to cause trouble, nor could she afford to offend anyone.

Although Qi Yanyu was an educated youth sent to the countryside like her at this moment, her father was the only labor force in her family, and the whole family of five depended on her father. She had no one to support her, so endurance became a compulsory course in her life.

Accompany her throughout her life.

Yin Xinyi gave up trying to help her, but out of kindness, she still went to the captain to get the medicine.

I can't really watch her die here.

Chi Nian took the medicine and kept saying thank you. Yin Xinyi didn't respond and went out to distribute the food.

Shen Chengyuan ordered Li Gui to take out some food from the Shen family's private warehouse and let Li Gui take the blame.

It was said that he was possessed by a devil and was afraid that his family would have no food, so he had evil thoughts.

In this era, it is normal for people to starve to death in natural disasters, and no one will pursue anything. Shen Chengyuan never thought it would turn out like this.

After finally calming down the public indignation, Li Gui went to him and asked for benefits.

Shen Chengyuan took out five big unity notes and threw them to him, but Li Gui was not satisfied, "You want to get rid of me with just this little money? If I hadn't apologized to them like a grandson today, do you think those people would be so easy to calm down?"

"You want it or not!"

Shen Chengyuan was already full of anger and was in no mood to talk to him at all.

Li Gui stuffed the money into his pocket and smiled grimly, “But it’s not just this matter, there’s also the matter of the child in Chen Linmengyao’s belly…”

Shen Chengyuan's face darkened, "What do you want?"

Li Gui is Fang Hui's cousin, but Li Gui's family lives next door to the Shen family. Over the years, Li Gui has done a lot of dirty and tiring work for Shen Chengyuan, both openly and secretly.

He is the most shameless person. As long as he is offered money, he will kneel down, kowtow and call him daddy.

Therefore, when the educated youth caused trouble, it was most appropriate for Li Gui to take the blame.

The educated youth just wanted to have food to eat and didn't want to make a big fuss, so many of them stopped while they were ahead and most of them just cursed him a few times.

Some people were so angry that they kicked him a few times.

Shen Chengyuan had always treated Li Gui as a dog by his side, but now that the dog was threatening him, murderous intent had already formed in his eyes.

Li Gui thought he could use Chen Linmengyao's matter to control him, so he asked for a high price, "Give me five hundred."

Shen Chengyuan was amused by his number, "In this situation, can you spend the money you want?"

"The rain will stop in the spring, right? It can't keep raining until the weather gets warmer, right? Just give it to me, and why are you worrying about how I use it?"

Li Gui didn't think much of it. His family had enough food and drink anyway, so all he cared about was money.

"I can give you money, but you better keep your mouth shut."

Shen Chengyuan's tone was very restrained, but there seemed to be a storm undercurrent slowly surging beneath his words.

Li Gui smiled nonchalantly, "I've been with you for so many years, I'm the most tight-lipped, don't you know that?"

Shen Chengyuan lowered his head, lit the pipe, brought it to his lips, and took a few puffs fiercely, "I don't have so much money on me, I'll give it to you at the old place tomorrow night."
