Chapter 55 He Ruhua was publicly criticized.

Wang Yuqing and Ji Xuening exchanged a glance, both understanding the situation.

Wang Yuqing joked, "This is all your fault."

Ji Xuening was a little confused.

Wang Yuqing sighed: "You know, if He Ruhua hadn't liked you, she wouldn't have made things difficult for me at the Shuangdai store, I wouldn't have cursed at her, she wouldn't have told her parents, and her parents wouldn't have targeted me, secretly damaging the wheels of the tractor so as not to lend it to me."

She demanded, "Tell me, is it your fault?"

Ji Xuening felt that there seemed to be some truth to it.

He thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed my fault. The director has never liked me. I remember a month ago, the brigade was discussing rebuilding the militia company. The old secretary immediately notified me and told me to go to the brigade headquarters to volunteer to be the militia company commander. I also felt that I was very suitable, but the director said that I was not suitable. However, I am still on the candidate list."

"The results will be available in a few days."

Wang Yuqing asked, "Do you think you can become the militia company commander?"

Ji Xuening nodded confidently: "I can handle it!"

Wang Yuqing thought it was unlikely. This kid was sometimes smart and sometimes naive. How could he have gotten the position after offending the director? But thinking about all the young people in the brigade, it seemed like there was no one more suitable than him.

Although He Guangliang is a bit selfish, he is still the brigade director. He can't just find someone to fill in for him because of his own selfishness, can he? He might actually have a chance to become the militia company commander.

"Get in the car."

Ji Xuening suddenly turned around and said to her.

Wang Yuqing got back on her bicycle and rode along the country road. Various wildflowers bloomed in the grass on both sides, swaying in the wind and emitting a sweet fragrance.

She smelled the fragrance in the air and found the moment quite romantic.

The next second, she was almost thrown to the ground by the jolting, but luckily she managed to wrap her free right hand around Ji Xuening's waist in time, pressing her body against his back and feeling the taut muscles under his clothes.

I have to admit, it's really sturdy!

The person in front glanced down at the slender arms around their waist and realized their cycling skills had declined again.

Along the way, she received many stares from people, who whispered among themselves. But when Wang Yuqing glanced at her, they all shut up and turned their backs to her.

However, everyone's attention soon turned to the loudspeaker on the tree branch.

The voice of the brigade's messenger, speaking broken Mandarin, came through the phone: "Because Comrade He Ruhua of the Niushiwan Production Team of Jinniu Brigade maliciously reported that Comrade Wang Yuqing and Comrade Ji Xuening were having an affair, in order to serve as a warning and prevent such a situation from happening again, Comrade He Ruhua is hereby publicly criticized. The state has granted citizens the right to report, but Comrade He Ruhua, out of personal gain, or out of a desire for revenge, or to deliberately muddy the waters, actually came to the commune to report it herself, and during this time deliberately prevented Comrade Ji Xuening's grandmother from going to the hospital for treatment..."

The entire brigade heard the announcement and learned of He Ruhua's humiliation. People discussed and mocked her, with one saying, "How is she going to find a husband now? She's so shameful."

Of course, not only was she embarrassed, but He Guangliang and Hua Gui were also ashamed.

He Ruhua was leisurely sitting behind the counter of Shuangdai store, eating sunflower seeds, when she heard the reprimand. She was both angry and ashamed, and immediately lay down on the counter and burst into tears.

The two most humiliating moments she had ever experienced were both thanks to Wang Yuqing. She hated Wang Yuqing to the core, but she also blamed her own parents.

If they hadn't looked down on Ji Xuening, she might have married him long ago, and Wang Yuqing wouldn't have stood a chance.

Meanwhile, He Guangliang at the brigade headquarters had just been talking to Lei Jun in a very polite manner, saying that it was not his fault and that he would not deduct his work points. He even called his wife, Hua Gui, over to criticize her for neglecting her duty.

Lei Jun also heard the broadcast room as soon as he went out.

The couple in the office were both red with anger. He Guangliang, in particular, paced back and forth, finally slamming his fist on the desk and shouting, "That bastard has made me lose face! How can I ever hold my head up in front of everyone again?"

He suddenly glared at her, gritting his teeth: "I'll beat her to death when I get home tonight."

Hua Gui was so angry that she drank several mouthfuls of water. Finally, she cautiously glanced at the door and window, then stepped forward and whispered, "Why did you hit her? The culprit is none other than Wang Yuqing. I'm telling you, if you dare to give her any good in the future, I..."

"Shut up!"

He Guangliang jumped up.

He pointed at Hua Gui and angrily berated her: "You still have the nerve to say that? It's all because of your good daughter, she's as stupid as a pig, she can't do anything right, and she's always causing trouble for me outside, making me lose face. And that tractor incident, is that something a human being would do? I still have to cover for you, you stupid woman..."

"Do you and your daughter think I've been in this position for too long and want to bring me down?"

Hua Gui was still a little afraid of him, and stammered, "What, what's wrong with me? Wasn't it her who insulted our daughter first, and then her... I did too..."

He Guangliang glared at her: "Is your daughter a good person? If she didn't talk back, people would scold her?"

“You all better behave yourselves from now on and don’t cause any trouble. If you keep acting like this, you won’t be able to stay as the women’s director for long. You really have no brains at all. And He Ruhua, hurry up and find a matchmaker to marry her off.”

Hua Gui, hearing his voice was too loud, quickly said, "Keep your voice down, as if you're afraid others won't hear you?"

After saying that, she snorted, "Who are we going to find? She's been publicly criticized for a year or two now, who would dare hire her..."

He Guangliang retorted, "That's your problem!"

As soon as the broadcast came out, everyone was laughing at He Ruhua, especially Chen E, who slapped her knee happily: "Serves you right, you bitch! You stole my daughter's sales clerk job back then. If you hadn't taken her job, she wouldn't have married the cripple from the next brigade in a fit of anger."

Suddenly remembering that her daughter had married a cripple, her eyes welled up with tears: "I wonder how she's doing."

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and tears streamed down her face. Her daughter blamed herself for not being able to help her get a sales clerk job, and in a fit of anger, she married a disabled man far away. Her son only listened to his wife and ignored her completely.

The flirtatious voices behind her disturbed her. She turned around and saw her daughter-in-law pulling her son's ear.

Chen E couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward: "What are you doing? How can you pull your own man's ear like that?"

Feng Chunxia not only pulled, but deliberately pulled hard, glaring at Chen E: "Why can't I pull my own man's ear? Ask him if he's willing to let me pull it?"

Chen E looked at Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong frowned unhappily: "Mom, we were just joking, don't say anything."

Chen E pointed at him and cursed, "You worthless bastard, what man is like you?"

Feng Chunxia ignored Chen E and instead pulled Chen Zhong into the house by the ear, saying sarcastically, "Some old women are really nosy."
