Wei Mo shouted directly at Wang Xinbo, his small voice audible.
"You think you can just say you're not convinced and take everything you say at face value? I could accuse you of having an affair! Explain yourself, or I'll make sure you don't leave here today."
Several other members of Wang Xinbo's second organizational team also arrived, expressing their dissatisfaction as well.
They were all bruised and battered, having been beaten at home, so they harbored resentment. Wang Xinbo was their representative, and then he spoke to Wang Zhenhua and the others.
"Our weaving is almost finished, why won't you accept ours? You're the ones pulling the strings."
Several women nearby chimed in,
"Yes, it was you who were up to something, you have to compensate us for our work points."
Grandma Yu spat at them with a "pui" sound.
"You shameless bunch, daring to cause trouble in my house, I think you don't want to live anymore."
As more and more people gathered, the two groups argued fiercely. The captain quickly arrived and looked at Wang Xinbo and the others who were making a scene.
“If you can’t stay in this village, then get out of here, move out with your whole family. Our village doesn’t want you.”
These words startled the women who were making a scene, and they all fell silent.
But Wang Xinbo, having been pushed to the brink, spoke up.
"I disagree. I don't think our skills are any worse than theirs. What's wrong with us having a competition?"
The people next to him echoed his sentiments.
"Yes, can't we have a competition?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Mo and his family laughed, and Wei Mo stepped forward to say something.
"You think you can just have a competition like that? Who do you think you are! Since you're so shameless, do you dare to compete with me? The loser will kneel down and call me daddy."
After Wei Mo finished speaking, the women quieted down for a moment, and the surrounding villagers started to jeer.
"What? Wei Mo, you're such a young kid, and you're already going to be a dad?"
The villagers were just watching for the spectacle, finding it amusing. As for whether Wei Mo would lose? Obviously not.
Wang Xinbo wanted nothing more than to beat the little kid in front of him to death, but he still forced himself to speak.
"Let's compare ourselves to weaving straw sandals. We're not comparing ourselves to you, we're comparing ourselves to others. Where is our weaving inferior to yours?"
Upon hearing the mention of weaving straw sandals, none of Wei Mo's family members were afraid; they all looked at the group of women and said...
"Alright, let's have a competition. What if you lose?"
Wang Xinbo mumbled incoherently, unable to speak, before finally gritting his teeth.
"If we lose, I'll kowtow to you and apologize."
She really had nothing to offer in terms of compensation, since the Ula straw sandals they wove were worthless, yet she still stubbornly insisted on it.
"If you lose, you can give us all your straw sandals."
Her main purpose in coming here was to earn work points. Once she could get a set of straw sandals, she would naturally earn work points.
This bet seemed very unfair, but no one in Wei Mo's family was afraid, because his skill was undeniable. Even the old man smiled at them and said,
"Oh, we gave you something because we lost it. If you lost, just apologize and that's it. You're ugly, dream on!"
Hearing the old man's words, the villagers around him couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Yes, yes, why should we?"
In the end, it was the captain who spoke.
"We can have a contest. Each of you will contribute ten work points, which I will deduct directly from the brigade's records. If they lose, your work points will be deducted and given to them. If they lose, the straw sandals will be yours. Are you willing to gamble? If so, we can begin!"
The other women hesitated, some unwilling to gamble, but Wang Xinbo stubbornly insisted.
"Fine, let's compete, but I want to compete against their people. If they agree, that's fine."
When he got angry, Wang Xinbo could only stubbornly say those words.
She hoped to regain some face, though she knew for a moment that the straw sandals she wove were substandard.
However, I was beaten up by my girlfriends yesterday, and then I got beaten up by my husband when I got home. Naturally, I was very indignant and had to find a reason, otherwise I would never be able to stand up for myself at home.
Wang Zhenhua glanced around the house and, feeling that apart from the old man not weaving straw sandals, everyone else, including Wei Xiaomin, was fine, replied...
“Alright, you pick the people. Let’s have a competition to see who can weave the Ula straw sandals, and let the villagers be the referees.”
Upon hearing that there was something exciting to watch, the villagers all chimed in with agreement.
"well."
Then Wei Xiaomin roared angrily, uttering nothing but fearlessness.
"Hmph, fine, let's compete then, I'll compete with you!"
His tone and demeanor showed that he didn't take Wang Xinbo and the others seriously at all.
Wang Xinbo and his friends secretly plotted together. This time, Wang Xinbo had also learned to be cunning and dared not make decisions on his own anymore.
"Who should we choose this time? I think we should choose Wei Xiaohui. Look at her, she's all listless and hasn't said a word."
"Is it okay to choose a child?"
"Hmph, let's just say we're choosing a member of the Wei family. Isn't Wei Xiaohui a member of the Wei family too?"
"If that doesn't work, then let's choose Wei Xiaomin!"
"Look at how confident she is, why did you choose her?"
After some discussion, Wang Xinbo spoke up.
"I'll compete with Wei Xiaohui in weaving Ula straw sandals, and we'll ask the villagers to be the referees."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire Wei Mo family looked at Wang Xinbo in utter bewilderment. You see, apart from Wei Mo, everyone else in the Wei Mo family was completely dumbfounded.
Wei Xiaohui's knitting skills are the best. Why did you have to choose someone else besides Wei Mo? You're really asking for trouble.
Li Xiuxiu looked at Wang Xinbo across from her and shouted,
"Don't want to switch players after losing a little while. I'm telling you, you can switch players if you want after losing once. Each person gets ten work points for each loss."
There's no reason not to take the work points that are earned for free.
The Wei family unanimously agreed with Li Xiuxiu's opinion, while Wang Xinbo stubbornly insisted that they were afraid. He said...
"Hmph, once is enough, I'll choose Wei Xiaohui."
Wei Xiaohui stood there listlessly, looking at everyone, and then Wei Xiaomin called out from the side,
"Go, sister! Defeat the big bad guy!"
......
Wei Xiaohui and Wang Xinbo sat down on one side, with some Ula grass next to them. The two started a competition, and the surrounding villagers began to watch.
After all, such a lively event is a rare sight, and the village has even fewer entertainment facilities, so how could we miss it?
Even if it's just a little bit of work in the evening, it's fine. As the two of them wove straw sandals, Wei Xiaohui's little hands moved quickly, and after more than ten minutes, a perfect straw sandal appeared in her hands.
Wei Xiaohui didn't stop, but started knitting another one, knitting it with extra care, completely ignoring Wang Xinbo.
Meanwhile, Wang Xinbo became increasingly anxious, making repeated mistakes as he watched Wei Xiaohui finish weaving a Ula straw sandal.
While she hadn't even finished weaving half of a straw sandal, Wei Xiaohui had already finished weaving a pair of straw sandals.
