In her previous life, to escape confiscation and liquidation, Cen Yan married her stepmother's niece's son at the urging of her family.
She thought she could escape a calamity, but wh...
Chapter 160 Wang Manman starts to turn the tables again.
Wang Manman couldn't swallow this insult, nor did she want to suffer a loss in terms of benefits, so she simply covered her face.
"You're bullying me! You're all bullying me! I'm going to write letters to my parents and my aunt!"
"Cen Yan, is it really meaningful for you to single me out and humiliate me like this?"
"Captain Xiang, I contribute to the collective, but in the end I'm called a short-sighted and greedy person. It's as if I go to work not to build the country and the countryside, but for those few work points. I don't want to live anymore!"
"Waaah—"
Wang Manman didn't say whether she wanted the three days' work points or not; she just covered her face and ran away.
When Xiang Yiguo heard that Wang Manman had attempted suicide, he slapped his thigh in distress, "Nurse Cen, you are a good person in every way, but sometimes your mouth is like poison, leaving no way out for people."
Cen Yan blinked innocently, "Captain Xiang, what you're saying makes no sense. I'm just stating the facts. Is the honor of the banner less important than the grain I can get for three days of full work points? Besides, I even gave Wang, the educated youth, a gift."
She bent down to pick up the makeup mirror from the ground and blew off the dust.
“The supply and marketing cooperative would sell it for at least 50 cents. This is 50 cents, which is enough to buy three catties of flour. Luckily it didn’t break, otherwise I would definitely have asked Wang Zhiqing for compensation.”
Xiang Yiguo was both amused and exasperated: "Nurse Cen, this time you're really hated by Wang Zhiqing."
"It's alright, she hated me anyway." Cen Yan smiled slightly. "Captain Xiang, did you call me here just for the commendation, nothing else?"
"It's gone."
Cen Yan: "Then I'll go back first. Just call me if you need anything."
"Okay, Nurse Cen, take care. The rain has stopped, but the road is more slippery than when it was raining, so be careful."
Xiang Yiguo watched Cen Yan leave, then went to find the scorekeeper to give Wang Manman three days' worth of work points. He then carried five jin of sweet potatoes to the educated youth camp. He couldn't let anyone commit suicide; it would be difficult to explain if an educated youth really died in the camp.
In particular, Wang Manman's aunt is the wife of a political commissar, so she should take extra care of her.
Sigh, being the team leader is no easy job!
Wang Manman ran back to the educated youth settlement, and her loud crying attracted the attention of many people, who began to speculate.
Pang Xiaoyue also heard the commotion. This was her future sister-in-law, so she quickly dropped her hoe and rushed to the educated youth settlement.
"Manman, what's wrong? What happened to you?" Weren't you supposed to be in the office receiving an award?
Finally, someone listened to her. Wang Manman hugged Pang Xiaoyue's waist, buried her face in her chest, and sobbed uncontrollably.
"Yueyue, Cen, that bitch Cen Yan is targeting me again. I was happily going to receive the brigade leader's commendation, but who knew that Cen Yan, with just a few words, colluded with Captain Xiang and canceled the reward and honor I deserved. I worked hard to borrow a tractor for the collective, and now I haven't gotten any benefits and have even been criticized and insulted."
“Cen Yan, that despicable old intellectual, that capitalist’s daughter, she took advantage of her money and said she would give me a mirror so I wouldn’t pee on the ground and could see my ugly face more clearly in the mirror.”
"I didn't do anything, why is Cen Yan humiliating and belittling me like this? I might as well be dead, waaaaah..."
Wang Manman's hoarse crying attracted many people to watch outside the door, especially Zhang Wei. Seeing Wang Manman, whom he had liked for a long time, being bullied by Cen Yan, he was filled with both old and new grudges and rushed out with a wood-chopping knife.
But before she could take two steps, she was pulled back and had to stand outside the door to comfort him, "Manman, don't cry. We won't stoop to the level of that wicked woman, Cen Yan. We have manners! If a dog bites us, we won't bite the dog back!"
