Chapter 77: The taste of power is so damn good
Father Pang was pulled out of the haystack, his head and body covered with grass, looking in a miserable state.
He wanted to teach his two daughters a lesson, but Daya raised her fist at him and he backed off.
If he were to be thrown to the sky by a rebellious girl again, he would be too ashamed to face anyone.
"Just pretend I never gave birth to you!"
Father Pang cursed with gnashing teeth, his heart aching more than a knife.
All the betrothal gifts for his two daughters are gone, what a huge loss!
"My mother gave birth to us, and we raised ourselves. It has nothing to do with you." Erya retorted with a sarcastic and disrespectful tone.
Father Pang was so angry that he wanted to kill this rebellious girl.
He glanced viciously at his two daughters and turned away.
"Snap"
Father Pang fell again, tripped by Luo Xinxin, and fell flat on his face in front of her.
"Why such a big gift? I didn't even prepare a red envelope. I'll just give you a piece of grass!"
Luo Xinxin picked up a wild grass from the roadside, threw it on Pang's father, and walked away with a swagger.
Father Pang was so angry that he almost collapsed. It took him a long time to calm down. He slowly got up, looked at Luo Xinxin's back hatefully, and slowly walked back home.
There will always be a chance to deal with this ugly thing in the future. He doesn't believe that he can't catch this guy's little braid when he walks!
Luo Xinxin cooked dinner again in the evening, with Daya and Erya helping out. They cooked a pot of rice, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised crucian carp, cold cucumber salad, and some potato chips.
Except for potatoes, all other vegetables were bought in the mall, so not many points were used.
Potatoes are actually potatoes. The potatoes grown on the farm are not only big but also taste good. Every household has saved a lot of them. Luo Xinxin only used half a pound of fruit candy to exchange for a large bag of potatoes.
The dish of potato shreds is a Northwestern dish that she knew in her previous life. The potatoes are shredded, mixed with dry flour and steamed. It can be eaten mixed or fried, but she prefers to fry it.
She fried a large pot of potato chips, which can be used as a dish or as a staple food.
Dinner was just ready when Luo Weian and Old Lady Luo both got off work. The old couple's mental states were very different.
Luo Weian was refreshed, but old lady Luo was exhausted, with grass on her clothes. She looked at least ten years older than when she first arrived.
"Xinxin, can you tell the manager to stop me from mowing the lawn?"
Before Mrs. Luo finished speaking, tears started streaming down her face.
If she continues cutting, she will die.
"Then what do you want to do?" Luo Xinxin asked.
Old Mrs. Luo was choking. She didn't want to do anything. She just wanted to stay at home, rest, and have three ready-made meals.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew she couldn't say that, or she would definitely get scolded.
"Actually, I know a little bit about medicine. How about letting me help your grandfather?"
Old Mrs. Luo didn’t know if there was any easy work on the farm. She just knew that Luo Weian was comfortable at work, so she also wanted to work at the clinic.
Luo Weian was eating potato chips which contained chili powder. He was so frightened by what Old Lady Luo said that he choked on the chili powder and started coughing violently.
“Drink water!”
Erya brought him some water.
Daya didn't say anything, she just patted his back, making a loud pat.
"Cough cough cough cough... Stop filming..."
Luo Weian had just taken a sip of water and almost choked to death again. Daya's strength was so strong that she could even bring a dead person back to life.
After a long while, Luo Weian finally recovered. He scolded Old Lady Luo, "You can't even tell the difference between licorice and angelica, why are you messing around?"
Old Mrs. Luo pursed her lips in grievance and cried even more.
"Don't even think about the clinic. Just mow the grass honestly. If you can't handle it, you can ask for help." Luo Xinxin said.
"Da Ya, Er Ya, you guys..."
Before Mrs. Luo could finish her words, Luo Xinxin interrupted her: "Daya will go to work in the security department tomorrow, and Erya has to go to school. You can find someone else."
After saying that, she glanced at Luo Weian.
Old Mrs. Luo's reaction was quite quick this time. She immediately understood. She cried to Luo Weian, "Master, my hands are all worn out. Can you bear to watch me suffer? My life is not good, which means that you, as the head of the family, are incompetent. Others will only laugh at you..."
Luo Weian was troubled by her crying and agreed on impulse.
"I'll help you cut it when I'm free."
"Thank you, sir. Remember to mow the grass tomorrow. You must mow six full baskets every day."
Old Mrs. Luo immediately smiled and after giving the task, she picked up the bowl and started eating with relish.
Luo Weian couldn't help but frown, feeling something was wrong, as if... he had been fooled by this old woman again?
Luo Xinxin secretly laughed. Although Old Lady Luo was not smart, she was always able to grasp Luo Weian's situation. It turned out that every Cinderella who could marry into a wealthy family had her own outstanding qualities.
That night, Daya and Erya went to their own home to sleep. Luo Xinxin gave them a quilt. It was not too cold at night in summer, so one quilt was enough.
The next day, she and Daya went to work, while Erya stayed at home. She would wait until school started in September before going to school in town.
Team leader Sun Zhuang personally drove ten sheep, seven big ones and three small ones, and arrived at the farm early in the morning.
"Comrade Luo, these are the sheep the Sun family paid as compensation. Please count them."
The captain was particularly polite, even a little flattering.
"I want eight, why did you send ten?"
Luo Xinxin looked at him with a half-smile. He was being so attentive for no reason and definitely had no good intentions.
"The little one has no meat. Give me two more. Comrade Luo, can I ask you something?"
The captain's tone became even more respectful. It was only since yesterday that he truly felt the taste of power. As a captain, he had never felt so comfortable giving orders as he did yesterday.
Without the old patriarch to pressure them, everyone in the village had to listen to him, and if there were a few people who dissented, he would quickly suppress them.
The feeling of power is so fucking great!
Although he had only tasted it briefly, the captain had become addicted. What he hoped most now was that the old patriarch would die on the farm and never come back.
"Just tell me what you mean." Luo Xinxin said coldly.
"That's what happened. Can the clan leader please allow us to repair the reservoir for a few more years?"
The captain did not hide anything and stated his purpose directly.
Luo Xinxin understood. It was obvious yesterday that the clan leader's prestige in Sunzhuang was obviously higher than that of the team leader. The villagers all listened to the clan leader, and the team leader was just a decoration. He was definitely not willing to accept this.
"You definitely can't let people repair the reservoir for several years for no reason, unless they make a mistake. If the problem is serious, they could even be shot." Luo Xinxin reminded him.
"What's considered a serious problem?"
The captain's eyes lit up and he would rather be shot.
"Being a hooligan, collaborating with the enemy, and killing people are all serious matters."
The captain frowned and racked his brains for a long time before he said, "This gangster has definitely never done anything rogue, nor has he ever killed anyone. Is this person collaborating with the enemy and selling out his country a traitor?"
"Almost. It counts as having a connection with enemy agents."
Luo Xinxin's eyes lit up. From the tone of her voice, the patriarch was still willing to pass through the enemy?
If it was true, she was a little closer to taking off her hat.
The captain frowned and said uncertainly, "I don't know if it counts. The clan leader's second daughter-in-law is from another place. She said she came from the south to look for relatives. She's very pretty, but she can't have children. She's adopted from the eldest family. I always feel that this second daughter-in-law is quite suspicious. She doesn't seem like an ordinary person."
