Chapter 42 Chapter 42 (Minor Repair) Geng Yunye...

Geng Yunye ignored everyone's reaction and continued, "I should help the Cheng family when they are in trouble. I will provide the Cheng family with people to guard the river bank."

He spoke clearly and in a steady tone, and his every move revealed the demeanor of a leader, making people feel that he was no ordinary veteran.

Wang Fugui wanted to refute, but just as he opened his mouth, Geng Yunye continued: "I have led teams and participated in flood control, and I know how to arrange tasks. I am confident in the task of guarding the river bank, and I will not let the people suffer any loss."

His voice was not loud, but every word carried an invisible pressure that made Wang Fugui feel a little breathless.

"This guy has experience in flood control, so he might be good at guarding the river bank."

Someone agreed: "Yeah, he looks reliable. With his help, there's no need for Lei Wazi to run to the river bank alone."

The members all felt that what Geng Yunye said made sense, and looking at his calm and dignified appearance, they nodded.

"People who come out of the military speak and act differently."

The members all felt that it would be better if Geng Yunye joined, and he clearly stood on the side of the Cheng family.

Lao Liu, the accountant of the brigade, coughed twice and said, "This matter, the members all have difficulties. The young man was a soldier and took the initiative to help, so we shouldn't make it too difficult for him."

Aunt Li, the women's director, also agreed: "That's right. Flood prevention is a heavy task, and it's always a good thing to have one more capable person to help. If everyone is upset because of some trivial matters, it will be difficult to carry out future work."

Aunt Li looked at Geng Yunye as she spoke. Her husband had also joined the team guarding the river bank. She felt more at ease knowing that the young man had experience in flood control.

Although the other cadres did not say anything, they nodded one after another, and their eyes conveyed the same meaning.

Wang Fugui felt the gazes from all around him, and looking at the cadres who seemed hesitant to speak, he knew in his heart that no one supported him in continuing to embarrass the Cheng family.

For the benefit his son promised him, he wanted to struggle again: "I have to think about it."

Wang Xiuping couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted at the top of her voice: "What are you still considering? Comrade Geng has offered to help. You know the situation of the Cheng family. Don't go too far!"

Several aunts who usually had a good relationship with Wang Xiuping stood up to support her: "Xiuping is right. As the team leader, you can't make things difficult for others."

Seeing someone taking the lead, the members also responded, and their dissatisfaction with Wang Fugui completely erupted.

Everyone was talking at once, and the accusations were getting louder and louder.

Wang Fugui's face turned red and white. Amid the accusations from everyone, even though he was extremely reluctant, he knew that continuing the stalemate would only make him more embarrassed.

He nodded reluctantly: "Since you insist on interfering, then go ahead." After that, he glared at Geng Yunye fiercely, turned around and walked away in shame.

The members exchanged glances with each other, unable to suppress the joy on their faces.

Old Zhang's wife smiled and said to Xu Fengxia: "You have good vision. The people trained by the army are different. With his help, your family will definitely live better and better in the future."

Liu Guoqiang had a grudge against Wang Jiangang and also disliked Wang Fugui. He squeezed in front of Geng Yunye and said, "Comrade Geng, your revolutionary style is strong! It's time to rectify the bad habits of some people! If you have a chance, tell us about your deeds when you were in the army so that we can broaden our horizons."

"If Comrade Geng hadn't shown up in time today, the Cheng family wouldn't know what kind of trouble Wang Fugui would have caused them."

"Yes, not only did it help the Cheng family out of trouble, but it also gave us all a chance to vent our anger. It's time for someone with common sense to do justice!"

Geng Yunye just nodded slightly: "Thank you for the compliment. Cheng Xin and I are like-minded revolutionary comrades. The Cheng family's affairs are my affairs."

On the way home, Cheng Xin walked beside Geng Yunye. She couldn't help but be curious.

"How come you came so timely? It's like you knew in advance that our family would be in trouble today."

Geng Yunye looked calm and slowly explained, "When I bought shoes for Xiaolei a few days ago, I told him to call me if anything happened at home. I wrote down the brigade number so that he could remember it firmly."

Cheng Lei followed and interrupted excitedly: "Sister, I ran to the brigade headquarters while no one was paying attention and called Brother Yunye. I told him about the situation at home as he taught me, and Brother Yunye came over right away."

Cheng Xin had a better understanding of Geng Yunye's meticulousness and thoughtfulness.

She tapped her brother's forehead with her finger and said, "You are so brave. What if you get caught?"

Cheng Lei snorted, "I'm not afraid. After all, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes."

He looked at Geng Yunye with a smug look on his face and asked, "Brother Yunye, how did I perform today? I did everything you taught me. Did I perform well?"

Geng Yunye raised his hand and patted Cheng Lei on the shoulder, praising him: "Xiao Lei, you performed very well. You are brave and smart. You helped the family a lot."

Cheng Xin also smiled and praised: "It's rare to see you being smart. Thanks to you for thinking of calling Comrade Geng. I almost thought you would be sent to guard the river today."

The water in the river was almost level with the riverbank, which looked scary from a distance. Xiao Lei was asked to guard the riverbank, but with his ability, the role he played was minimal.

Cheng Lei lowered his head and kicked the dirt: "If Brother Yunye hadn't arrived in time, I would definitely go to the river. I am a man."

Xu Fengxia listened to their conversation quietly and looked at Geng Yunye with admiration.

She used to think that Geng Yunye was a warm-hearted and loyal young man. But the conversation just now changed her mind. He looked rough and clumsy, but he was very careful and thoughtful. He was not only strong but also smart. If her daughter lived with him, she would definitely be able to support the family.

Geng Yunye looked at Cheng Xin with gentleness in his eyes. He said softly, "Don't handle any difficulties by yourself in the future. Be sure to tell me."

Cheng Xin looked up at him and nodded firmly, "Okay."

In a remote corner, Chen Ying and Wang Jiangang met secretly.

Chen Ying's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, and her voice carried a hint of grievance: "Brother Jiangang, I really tried my best today. I persuaded my cousin to come to you for help, but she not only didn't appreciate it, she also scolded me." She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.

Wang Jiangang frowned, a look of displeasure flashing across his face: "Cheng Xin is really, so ungrateful! You treat her with all your heart, but she doesn't appreciate it." He didn't have that intention towards Chen Ying, but seeing her red eyes, he felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Wang Jiangang had taken the bait, Chen Ying was secretly delighted, but still pretended to be weak: "Brother Jiangang, I know you really like my cousin, and I want to help you, but she is so difficult to persuade. I'm afraid if I go on she will hate me too." As she spoke, she secretly observed Wang Jiangang's expression, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the corner of her clothes, as if she was really worried about this.

Thinking of Geng Yunye claiming to be Cheng Xin's fiancé, Wang Jiangang gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Don't think she can get away with it like this. I don't believe she can stay so stubborn forever."

As long as Cheng Xin's household registration is still in the brigade, she can forget about getting married to Geng Yunye. He has plenty of time to waste with her.

Wang Jiangang took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ying. Inside was twenty yuan, which was the kickback they got from selling wild boar meat.

"Here, keep watching Cheng Xin for me."

Chen Ying's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the envelope with an innocent smile on her face, not mentioning that she was going home at all: "Thank you, Brother Jiangang, you are so kind!"
