Old Mrs. Zhou was so angry that her teeth itched. "You two damn old ladies, you don't care about your own family affairs, and you still have the time to meddle in our family affairs."

After that, the three of them started fighting. Old Lady Zhou looked very strong. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to beat up Old Lady Yang and Old Lady Sun in one go.

When Old Lady Yang and Old Lady Sun saw her expression, they immediately acted in unison. One of them grabbed her hair and pushed her backwards, while the other quickly grabbed her legs and threw her to the ground.

The two of them were just trying to scare Old Lady Zhou and didn't throw her down hard. If they had used more force, Old Lady Zhou would probably have broken her ribs or her leg.

Old Lady Zhou fell to the ground and burst into tears. "You two stinky old women, how can you team up to bully me?"

"Oh, my legs can't move, my hands can't move, my whole body can't move. Either my leg is broken or my hand is dislocated. I want you two to compensate me for my medical expenses. If you don't, I will report you to the police."

Old Lady Yang said, "Go and report it. See who started it first. This is also legitimate defense. Do you expect us to just stand here and let you hit us? Only a fool would do that. Besides, are you really unable to move?"

Tang Shiyan watched the old women perform there while eating melon seeds, without saying a word.

Mrs. Zhou said, "I just can't move. Everyone is watching me. How can I lie to you? I just want you two to compensate me for my medical expenses. If you don't pay me, I won't get up."

When everyone heard this, they knew that Old Lady Zhou was pretending and just wanted Old Lady Yang and Old Lady Sun to hand over the money.

Old Lady Sun: "Hey, you've learned to play tricks this week. Do you think we have to listen to you just because you're throwing a tantrum? I'm afraid you're dreaming."

At this time, Old Lady Yang saw that Old Lady Zhou was still acting like a spoiled child, so she took out the farm tools in her hand and prepared to smash them at Old Lady Zhou.

"Old lady Zhou, since you said we crippled you and you can't move, would you like me to do some more to make you permanently crippled, the kind that will keep you bedridden for the rest of your life?"

When Mrs. Zhou saw Mrs. Yang holding a hoe, she was frightened and stood up immediately.

"No, I'm fine now and can move. I don't need your compensation."

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this scene. They didn't expect that Old Lady Zhou was so good at pretending. She wanted to extort some money, but in the end she didn't get any money and was even treated as a joke.

The captain said: "Have you all laughed enough? You always seem to be looking for trouble. I really don't know what you old women are thinking. You either beat people up or curse at them all day long. I guess I need to give you some more work."

The people below suddenly became quiet and listened to the tasks assigned by the team leader.

The team leader said, "I'm going to the town to pick up the educated youth. When I get there, you should take good care of the new educated youth and explain to them what rice seedlings and wheat seedlings are. Don't let them get them confused. If they do, it will be your fault."

Someone said, "Why do we need to bring them? Do the city people eat the food we farmers grow and still not know what rice seedlings and wheat seedlings are? That's ridiculous."

The team leader said: "Also, you women should go and clear all the weeds from the corn today. Remember, the corn seedlings are still small, so be careful not to damage them when weeding."

"You laborers, go reclaim all the wasteland over there. Otherwise, when all the new educated youth arrive, there won't be enough food. You can only reclaim more wasteland and grow more crops."

Someone angrily said, "Can't we just let the new educated youth open up the wasteland themselves? We really shouldn't spoil them too much. If they can't work, then let them buy their own food."

"If that's the case, you might as well stay home and not bother us farmers who work on the land. We can't afford to be treated coldly by those rich kids."

The team leader: "Since you are so eloquent, I will give you the position of team leader. Can you be the team leader? They just arrived today and need to rest tomorrow. Let them buy some daily necessities. They can start work the day after tomorrow. I will arrange for them to open up the wasteland together when the time comes."

"But you all are always fussing about this or that. If you do more work, you'll start whining and making a fuss. If you do less work, you won't get many work points, and when you run out of food, you come to me and ask for a way to borrow food."

The man could only shut up and stop talking, thinking to himself, aren't there so many educated youth coming? Is it wrong to let them open up the wasteland on their own when the time comes?

The team leader said: "That's all for today. You all take your farm tools and go to work. Work hard and don't cause any trouble. If you don't work hard, your work points will be deducted. Scorekeeper, keep an eye on them."

Scorer Jiang Shumeng said, "Dad, I understand. I'll definitely keep an eye on them for you."

The captain looked at his daughter and left without saying anything.

After the team leader left, everyone picked up their farm tools and went to work. Today was Tang Shiyan's first day at work, cutting grass for pigs. The farm tool manager Lin Jingyi gave her a very useful sickle. She knew that Tang Shiyan was not someone to be trifled with, so she tried not to provoke her.

Tang Shiyan took the sickle and looked at it. What did the farm implement manager mean? Was he trying to curry favor with her, or did he know she had a bad temper, so he gave her such a good sickle?

Tang Shiyan took her sickle and backpack and went to the back mountain to collect grass for pigs. When she got there, she saw the team leader's grandson Yangyang also cutting grass for pigs there.

Tang Shiyan: "Yangyang, you're here to cut grass for the pigs too. Are these your friends cutting grass with you?"

Yangyang: "Pretty sister, you are here too. Yes, they are all my good friends who grew up with me."

The other children also followed Yangyang and called Tang Shiyan "beautiful sister".

"Beautiful sister, you are so beautiful. We all like you so much. Let us help you cut grass for the pigs later."

Tang Shiyan: "Thank you, but no need. I can cut the grass for the pigs very quickly. When you are done, go back early so that your family won't worry. Come here and I will give you some candy."

Tang Shiyan grabbed a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and gave them to the children, about four or five each.

"Thank you, beautiful sister, for giving us so many candies."

"No, you guys hurry up and eat them. I'm going to start cutting grass for the pigs."

Several children jumped for joy as they looked at the fruit candies in their hands. This was the first time they had eaten fruit candies.

When Tang Shiyan saw so much pig grass, she had to quickly collect some of it into the space so that she could take it out directly from the space when she went to do her own things.
