These words weren't meant to threaten Tang Zixuan. In this era, the best way to handle such a situation was for the two of them to admit they were married. That would be a minor punishment to deter others and would be enough to smooth things over.
If you don't acknowledge that the two are husband and wife, then you're just being a hooligan, and that would get you straight to the police station!
If this incident weren't so embarrassing and damaging to the farm's reputation, Farm Manager Wei would have been more than willing to send those two to the police station!
Tang Zixuan wasn't unaware of this principle; he was simply bewildered by Bai Yueyao's sudden outburst and hadn't thought that far ahead.
Only after Director Wei said that did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
The thought of being bound to Bai Yueyao from now on made him wish he could pull out a ten-meter-long cleaver and cut Bai Yueyao into a thousand pieces on the spot!
Even if he was unwilling, Tang Zixuan dared not say no. He glared at Bai Yueyao hatefully and squeezed out each word through gritted teeth:
"We're married! We've already registered our marriage, but we haven't had a chance to give out wedding candy yet!"
After hearing Tang Zixuan agree, Director Wei continued with the punishment:
"Take out 200 yuan for the tractor repair, and we'll refund any overpayment or make up the difference later."
"As for punishment, once the autumn harvest is over, you two will start collecting manure to make fertilizer. Our farm's fertilizer for next year will be in your hands!"
Carrying manure to compost?
Bai Yueyao resisted with all her might, and she retorted in a shrill voice:
"I refuse to carry manure for compost! We've already lost money repairing the tractor, why should we have to do such dirty work? I'm going to the educated youth office to report you for abusing the educated youth!"
Manager Wei sneered:
"Go ahead and sue! I'll go with you. I'll also go to the educated youth office to ask them what kind of explanation they have for the educated youth they sent to the farm who secretly drove a tractor in the middle of the night and even crashed it!"
Director Wei was serious and actually wanted to send her back to the educated youth office. Bai Yueyao became completely obedient and dared not say another word.
But she still didn't want to pick manure to compost; the thought of doing that work made her want to vomit.
She tugged at Tang Zixuan's clothes, hoping he would plead with Director Wei.
Whether it's paying her in cash or having Tang Zixuan's family step in, as long as she's not doing such dirty and tiring work, that's fine!
Tang Zixuan didn't want to pick up manure to make fertilizer, but he knew that Director Wei's punishment was reasonable.
Tang Zixuan had no hope of getting his family to intervene and extricate him from the matter.
Although Tang Zixuan's family has some capabilities, they are no match for the Xia family.
Tang Zixuan's grandfather was Grandpa Xia's bodyguard. He was only able to live in the compound because of Grandpa Xia's influence.
Tang Zixuan's grandfather was also fertile, having fathered 6 sons and 3 daughters with his two wives.
Tang Zixuan's father was the first son of Tang Zixuan's grandfather's second wife. In addition, Tang Zixuan was good-looking and had a good relationship with Xia Ning, which is why he received so much attention from the Tang family.
The reason why the Tang family brought so much money to Tang Zixuan when he went to the countryside was that they hoped he would try to please Xia Ning and marry her as soon as possible, so that his family could completely align themselves with the Xia family.
Now that Bai Yueyao is clinging to him and he has no choice but to marry her, it's obvious that his family will no longer invest in him.
Unless he can miraculously escape from this predicament and win Xia Ning back.
Tang Zixuan couldn't help but look at Xia Ning, hoping she could say something for him, which would show that she still cared about him and that he still had a chance to win her back!
