Cheng Jiaxing pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhou Dajun and asked, "So, what should we do now?"

Zhou Dajun rubbed his nose a bit embarrassedly. "That young man's mother said she wants Lu Zhiqing to pay her ten yuan, and the matter will be over."

Cheng Jiaxing couldn't help but laugh, said nothing, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

Seeing her father coming over, Cheng Mingyue quickly stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what did the village chief of Baiyang Brigade say?"

"Make me pay 10 yuan." Cheng Jiaxing replied unhappily, and then glared at Lu Chen fiercely.

Cheng Mingyue: “…”

Is this crazy because of poverty?

With 10 dollars, why not rob a bank?

Just as Cheng Mingyue was about to lose her temper, Lu Chen blinked and said softly, "He was the one who started cursing, saying that we educated youth and those sent down to the countryside were just eating for free, that we couldn't do anything and that we were never satisfied with what we ate."

Cheng Mingyue lowered her head and stared into Lu Chen's eyes, feeling a little confused about what he was thinking.

If the reason was really that simple, why didn't he say it just now? !

But none of this matters anymore. Now that Lu Chen has said this, they are in the right and have plenty of room to maneuver.

Just when Cheng Mingyue was about to have a good talk with the young man from the Baiyang Brigade, the man started cursing again, and he became more and more arrogant and his voice became louder.

"Look at you, I heard you married the daughter of the village chief. They must have married you because you look good. How is this different from selling your body? You're just a gigolo."

Cheng Mingyue gritted her teeth, rushed forward and slapped the young man in the face. It was so hard that five finger marks appeared on his face and it was swollen.

The young man was slapped hard by Cheng Mingyue. He was so angry that he was about to hit Cheng Mingyue, but he was held back by Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan and couldn't get free.

He was even more foul-mouthed, "You damn fat woman, just wait for me, no matter how much money you pay me now, I'm going to go to the police station and sue you, you two bastards."

Cheng Mingyue smiled and slapped him again, "Go ahead and sue me, I'll be waiting here for you."

Cheng Mingyue ignored the man who was still shouting and turned to the people who were watching the excitement and said:

"First of all, whether Lu Zhiqing married me or not, he was an educated youth sent to the countryside to support rural construction.

The top leaders have said that we must unite and contribute together to the construction of the four modernizations.

But what did he do? He insulted the educated youth who went to the countryside to support the cause for no reason, saying that they were incompetent at nothing and that they had nothing left over after eating.

What? Are you trying to intensify the conflict and question the leader's decision?"

The young man was furious and wanted to hit Cheng Mingyue just now, but when he heard Cheng Mingyue accusing him of something, he was frightened and his face turned pale. He kept shaking his head: "I didn't do that. Don't talk nonsense!"

The young man's mother also glared at Cheng Mingyue with triangular eyes, wishing she could tear her apart. "Don't make a big deal out of it. My son just said it casually. What gives your man the right to hit someone?"

Cheng Mingyue glanced at the mother and son, "Just a casual remark? You think questioning the decision of the national leader is just a casual remark. What's wrong with the leader? Why are you so resentful about him just by a casual remark?!

The beating he gave your son wasn't enough. In my opinion, you should be made into examples and paraded through the streets of various brigades. Only then will you behave yourself and realize where you went wrong."

When the woman heard the word "parade", she stepped back in fear, her mouth tightly shut, not daring to utter a single word.

She knew clearly what that meant.

If she was really dragged out for a parade, she would have no chance of survival!

At this time, Zhou Dajun, the village chief of Baiyang Brigade, stood up, looked at Cheng Mingyue with a smile, and said, "Don't be angry, little girl. I'll give them a good beating when I get back. Repairing the canal is the top priority right now. Delaying the construction schedule will be a disaster."

Cheng Mingyue was also a tactful person. She greeted him with a smile and ran to Lu Chen.

The surrounding villagers were frightened by Cheng Mingyue's words just now. They no longer dared to watch the fun and quickly picked up their tools to go to work.

Cheng Jiaxing glared at Cheng Mingyue fiercely again, then went to supervise the work with his hands behind his back.

For a moment, only Cheng Mingyue and Lu Chen were left here.

Cheng Mingyue glanced at Lu Chen with a gloomy look in her eyes, "Tell me the truth when you get home tonight. If you dare to hide it from me again, you will suffer the consequences!"

After saying that, Cheng Mingyue turned around and left. Lu Chen looked at her back and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the past, Lu Chen only regarded Cheng Mingyue as a stepping stone, but her series of actions today really shocked Lu Chen. Maybe she could really explain some things clearly, so that he wouldn't have to be timid in doing things in the future.

Lu Chen glanced at the people working hard in the Baiyang Brigade, picked up the shovel in his hand, and started working enthusiastically again.

This time, the young man was still next to Lu Chen. When he saw him coming with a shovel, he quietly moved to the side and didn't even dare to fart.

Seeing him like this, Lu Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him.

After Cheng Mingyue returned home, she thought about it over and over again, but she couldn't understand why Lu Chen suddenly got angry.

But she was sure that it was definitely not because of that sentence.

You have to know that the villagers are very gossipy. They not only say such things behind their backs, but also say them to their faces.

It doesn’t make sense that he didn’t get angry before, but suddenly gets angry now.

Cheng Mingyue couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

She was sweating profusely from running just now, and now her clothes were wet and sticky to her body.

Cheng Mingyue first entered the space, took a nice bath, ate two cucumbers, and then left the space contentedly.

She first scooped some cornmeal and white flour and mixed them together, adding a little more white flour. Then she sprinkled a pinch of salt in it, poured in a little water, and started stirring.

She waited until the dough was all mixed into a dough before she started kneading it.

In a short while, the dough was kneaded into a smooth dough.

Cheng Mingyue made a lot of noodles today, and she planned to make some for her family as well.

While the dough was rising, Cheng Mingyue took out several potatoes from the space.

This potato was more than twice as big as the one she had taken out before, and it was clean, as if it had been washed with water.

Cheng Mingyue was still worried, so she rinsed it twice with clean water before putting it on the chopping board and starting to cut it.

She was very careful when cutting, for fear that her family would notice the flaws, so she deliberately cut the meat into uneven thicknesses, and then cut some green onions, ginger and garlic as side dishes.

Or spicy and sour shredded potatoes.

It’s not that Cheng Mingyue has a special liking for this dish, there’s really no other way. She can’t take out the other things in her space now, so she can only make something simple for now. When she has the chance in the future, she promises to make a different dish every day of the year.
