Chapter 44: I'll take care of this for you.
After a busy day, when the work bell rang, the commune members carried sacks and baskets. Some rested at the edge of the field, some rolled up their trousers and went to the river by the roadside to wash their hands and faces, and some gathered in groups of three or five to talk.
After Shen Yuzhu settled the work points with the commune members, she took the notebook to the brigade headquarters for registration.
After finishing all that, he started walking towards his own little courtyard, his mind still preoccupied with things. When he looked up, he saw Liang Manxiu lingering at his doorstep.
"Did Liang, the educated youth, come to see me because of something?"
"I understand, I understand everything."
"kindness?"
Liang Manyu leaned closer to her mysteriously, her eyes full of excitement, "I know why you're so nice to Ma Daya and her child."
Shen Yuzhu's pupils contracted slightly, her fingers twitched, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.
If Liang Manxiu were to expose her and her sister's affair, it would definitely affect the plan.
"Just like you did to me back then, you're a good person. You couldn't stand seeing Ma Daya and her child being bullied, and Zhang Li isn't a good person. You even have a grudge against him. You wanted to teach him a lesson and rescue Ma Daya, just like you did to me back then, right?"
Shen Yuzhu: "!!!"
"......."
You're a genius!
"Don't worry, this is a secret between us. I won't tell anyone. Once things have settled down, I'll help you take care of Ma Daya. After all, she's just like me, a person with a tragic fate."
Shen Yuzhu: "...Okay."
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Liang Manxiu walked away contentedly with her hands behind her back, her steps appearing quite cheerful.
Shen Yuzhu's lips twitched for a moment before she turned and went inside.
After a day of farm work, I was too tired to cook dinner, so I ate a bowl of beef noodles and two hamburgers in my virtual space before going to the bathroom to wash up. I was just about to watch TV and rest when I heard a series of knocks on the door.
When she went outside, she saw Lu Jianshe and Zhou Li standing there, their expressions somewhat stern.
"What's wrong?"
“Didn’t you tell us to keep an eye on that rascal? I saw him go to Zhang Li’s house again around dusk. If what you said before is true, I guess he’s trying to get Zhang Li’s wife to lure you out.”
"That woman Ma Daya wouldn't be so heartless, would she? You've been so good to her and her children. If she really listened to Zhang Li, then she'd be utterly ungrateful."
"Don't talk about her like that. She would never do such a thing. I understand what happened. You can go back now. I know what to do."
Zhou Li and Lü Jianshe exchanged a glance. Neither of them left. Shen Yuzhu had saved them before, and she was no ordinary savior. She had saved several families. Moreover, after that incident, Shen Yuzhu forbade them from going to the black market. Sure enough, a crackdown broke out a couple of days later.
Black market trading is something that can't be stopped, and of course, the higher-ups are aware of it, but generally, if someone doesn't report it, the officials won't investigate. Clearly, this time the leaders are eager to make a quick political achievement. Under the previous county official's management, Ningyang County was very peaceful.
If you want to make something, you have to start with the black market.
As far as they knew, they had already arrested several people they knew in those two days, so how could they tolerate someone trying to harm Shen Yuzhu right under their noses?
Moreover, Lü Jianshe still harbors ulterior motives towards Shen Yuzhu.
“What? You know what to do? You don’t need to worry about this. Tonight, Zhou Li, Li Wang, and I will beat up that scoundrel and give him a warning. As for Zhang Li, I’ll have my dad go, or we can go to his house and teach him a lesson. Don’t worry, Brother Jianshe will take care of this for you.”
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
Zhou Li: "......."
Hey, Construction Bro, what are you so great about? You shameless bastard!
"I told you not to worry about it, I'll take care of it. Oh, by the way, you can go to the black market again after the double harvest, but don't make a fuss, lest you attract attention again."
Lu Jianshe opened his mouth slightly, Zhou Li rolled his eyes, and nodded at her.
"Alright, if you need any help in the future, just call us. We're always at your beck and call, right, Brother Jianshe?"
"Yes, that's right. Well, we're leaving now!"
When Lü Jianshe faced Shen Yuzhu, he slowly walked backward. Zhou Li pulled him from behind, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Zhou Li sighed and looked at him, saying, "Brother Jianshe, shake your head and clear your mind. Shen Zhiqing was able to rescue the three of us from the black market all by herself, which means she's not a simple person. Since she has a plan, we shouldn't interfere. We don't want to end up making things worse instead of helping."
Lu Jianshe lowered his head. Couldn't he tell that he just wanted to spend more time together?
That fiancé of hers, he hardly ever comes over, and he can't help with anything when I need him. Unlike him, he's always there when I call him, does whatever I tell him to do, and is very obedient. Sigh, it's such a pity that they met the right person at the wrong time.
Zhou Li looked at his gloomy face, slowly turned his head, looked at the woods to the side, and silently rolled his eyes. Toad... Hmm~, a frog trying to eat swan meat.
Ma Daya cooked the meal and brought it to Zhang Li's room. Seeing the two bowls of dark, stale food, he was so angry that he started cursing. The rascal didn't care about anything else; as long as he had something to eat, he wouldn't complain.
"Alright, alright, stop yelling. Your wife will have to go and call her over later, why provoke her now?"
"What? I'm her man. I tell her what to do, and she has to do it. Let me tell you, even after you marry that woman surnamed Chen, you'll still have to treat her the same way. Women in this city are arrogant. If you don't beat them into submission, they definitely won't settle down with you. If that woman surnamed Chen disobeys you in the future, just tie her up in the pigsty and give her a good beating. She'll behave then. You should learn this from me, hehe..."
"Okay, as long as your wife brings the people over for me, we'll split Shen Yuzhu's money 40/60, I get 60% and you get 40%, hehehe... Why am I so sleepy? To be honest, your wife's cooking is really not that good."
Zhang Li spat on the ground in disgust. "Eating our own food and still daring to complain? Just wait, this old geezer needs to be taught a lesson."
Ma Daya tossed her hair, locked Zhang Jie and the other children inside, and picked up the broom handle by the door as she entered.
As Zhang Li ate, he grew increasingly sleepy. He watched as Lai Pi Tou let go of his chopsticks and collapsed to the ground. Then, seeing Ma Daya's cold expression as she entered the room, he realized something was wrong.
