Chapter 248 Misunderstanding?

The sudden appearance of a few strangers instantly drew everyone's attention to them, and no one paid attention to what was happening with Qin Yu and Aunt Zhang.

"This is Qinjia Village."

Qin Dacang's rough voice broke the silence. He put down his hoe, walked from the ridge of the field not far away to the side of the road, and squinted his eyes to look at the person who came.

This group of people looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

"Who are you...looking for?"

As Qin Dacang responded, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, haven't the villagers done anything wrong recently?

The old man in the tattered straw hat grinned, revealing his yellow teeth: "Fellow villager, is Su Nanzhi from your village?"

As soon as Su Nanzhi's name came out, before Qin Dacang could even open his mouth, the villagers of Qinjia Village were in an uproar, and the expression on Qin Dacang's face froze instantly.

Could this girl have caused trouble outside?

"I knew it!" Aunt Zhang suddenly screamed, as if she had caught something wrong. Her rough fingers almost poked Qin Yu and Zhang Xiaoli's faces. "That girl must have done something shameful outside!"

Aunt Zhang’s words immediately sparked heated discussions among the surrounding villagers.

"I said that Su Nanzhi came back to the village because she must have caused trouble outside. Look, she's here to find us, right?"

"You're not lying, are you? I've always said that Su Nanzhi has been dishonest since she was a child."

"If Su Nanzhi had been honest, Qin Youliang's family wouldn't have been treated so badly by her."

"Shut up!" Although Qin Dacang shouted to stop them, everyone had finally heard something new during the boring and busy farming season, so no one would pay attention to him and continued to discuss gossip.

"Brother, don't listen to what those women in the village say. Nanzhi is a good kid."

Although Qin Dacang usually treats Su Nanzhi with indifference, he protects her very much. He immediately goes to comfort her.

"What do you want to talk to Su Nanzhi about?"

Listening to the villagers' discussions and explanations, the old man in the straw hat and the people around him looked at each other, looked at the tractor parked on the side of the road, and walked aside to discuss in a low voice.

"Village Chief Dong, wasn't Comrade Su lying to us yesterday? If she could fix tractors, why are the tractors in their village still broken?"

"Or have we found the wrong place? Are there other Qinjia Villages and Sunanzhi Villages?"

"I was saying yesterday that Su Nanzhi was so young, how could she possibly know anyone from the Zhoushan County Tractor Factory?"

…

The old man in the straw hat looked at the villagers of Qinjia Village who were pointing at them from a distance, and his face looked a little ugly.

He suddenly pulled off his straw hat, revealing his graying crew cut, and took off the bamboo basket he had been carrying on his back and threw it to the ground.

With a "pop", a watermelon exploded. In addition to the watermelon, there were other common fruits and vegetables in the countryside in the bamboo basket.

"Yesterday at the agricultural machinery station, Su Nanzhi from your village said that he knew someone from the Zhoushan County Tractor Factory and that he could help our village repair the tractor." The old man's voice was like sandpaper grinding on iron sheet, and his eyes were slightly red.

"We were so happy that we couldn't sleep all night. The villagers are still waiting for us to bring back good news."

The men behind him also threw the cloth bags or bamboo baskets they were holding onto the ground, and some fruits and vegetables were scattered around in an instant.

Qin Dacang couldn't help but take a breath. He didn't expect that Su Nanzhi had caused such a big trouble just two days after returning to Qinjia Village.

It's not that he didn't believe Su Nanzhi, but just like what Aunt Zhang said, Su Nanzhi was a girl who grew up in Qinjia Village and had no one to rely on. She had been in Zhoushan County for less than a month when she said that she knew someone in the tractor factory and promised to repair tractors for so many villages.

The tractor in Qinjia Village also broke down, and he was the one who could most empathize with the anger of these people at the moment.

"Brother, is there some misunderstanding?"

Although he cursed Su Nanzhi in his heart, he immediately calmed down the old man in the straw hat.

"Village Chief Dong, look." A short and strong man behind the old man with the straw hat suddenly pointed at a figure approaching from a distance and said, "Is that Su Nanzhi?"

Everyone looked at a distance and saw Su Nanzhi wearing a straw hat and holding a sesame bun in his hand, walking towards them slowly.

As if she had noticed the straw hat uncle and his companions, Su Nanzhi smiled and waved at them in a good mood.

The already angry uncle in the straw hat and his companions became even angrier when they saw her like this.

The man in the straw hat picked up the wooden stick on the ground and walked towards Su Nanzhi.

Aunt Zhang watched this scene with her mouth almost stretched to her ears. If the occasion allowed, she would have wanted to do it herself.

"Haha, let that girl Su Nanzhi lie to us, is she going to be taught a lesson?"

"If you two girls continue to be with Su Nanzhi, this will be your fate."

"If I were Su Nanzhi, I wouldn't even be able to face the world."

Qin Yu and Zhang Xiaoli didn't have time to listen to her and ran over immediately.

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes and immediately followed.

Qin Dacang didn't expect that the old man in the straw hat was old and had a bad temper, so he stepped forward and tried to stop him immediately.

Just as the two of them were confronting each other.

Suddenly, a "thump thump thump" sound of a tractor came from the distance. The sound came from far away and shook the ground slightly.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the same time—

Then I saw a brand new tractor driving towards this side from the end of the road.

As the tractor approached, Su Nanzhi had already approached Qin Dacang and his companions.

"Uncle, why are you here today?"

Su Nanzhi was a little surprised to see the old man in the straw hat, but then she saw the fruits and vegetables they had casually thrown on the ground and asked uncertainly, "Are you here to visit relatives?"

After saying this, she felt something was wrong. She had never heard of any family in the village knowing so many village chiefs.

The anger on the straw hat uncle's face froze when he heard the sound of the tractor. When he heard these words, he was unable to react.

Could this tractor be driven by Xiao Su’s colleague?

It's no wonder he thought so. Nowadays, tractors are either working in the fields or waiting to be repaired in the fields. How could they be driven on the road?

Just as he was hesitating about how to answer Su Nanzhi, the tractor had already stopped.

Su Nanzhi glanced at the complicated expressions of the crowd and quickly reacted, but she couldn't care less about these things now.

Seeing that the old man in the straw hat was still not saying anything, Su Nanzhi walked past the crowd and towards the tractor.

"Zhenfei, Changsheng, why are you here?"

Bai Zhenfei and Zhu Changsheng got off the tractor. They had been busy in the fields for some time and had become much darker, but at this moment you could still see the dark circles under their eyes.

Zhu Changsheng yawned. "After receiving your letter yesterday, Lao Bai and I rushed back to Zhoushan County from Lingshui Village. We drove a tractor from the factory and came here."

After saying that, he yawned again.

Bai Zhenfei's dark circles were not much better than Zhu Changsheng's, but at the moment he looked excited.

"Sister Su, where are those broken tractors?"

Although Bai Zhenfei stayed in Lingshui Village for a while, he was not as eloquent as Zhu Changsheng. Apart from driving a tractor and teaching others how to drive a tractor, he felt that it made no difference whether he was there or not.

Yesterday, when he learned that Su Nanzhi needed someone to repair the tractor, he was excited the whole night because he could finally use his professional skills.

As he spoke, his eyes quickly fell on the tractor parked nearby.
