Chapter 43 Tian Jing, are you here to deliver food?
A full sixty kilograms of food!
Gu Zhifeng's eyes turned red with excitement.
Gu Tinghuai also gasped. He originally thought that the team would just give them a commendation and embarrass Tian Jing and Chen Yin for the sake of face, but he didn't expect that there would be such a severe and practical punishment!
Sixty kilograms of grain is a huge sum of money for any member of the brigade.
Gu Zhifeng lowered her voice and asked, "Is there really 60 kilograms of food?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and nodded: "Really!"
Gu Tinghuai suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at the quiet inner room, and whispered: "It's better not to tell the second brother about this, so as not to make him feel upset."
Gu Zhifeng rolled her eyes. "What's the point of feeling uncomfortable? Who would feel uncomfortable after adding 60 kilograms of grain for nothing? Not setting off firecrackers is considered to be patient. The second son is confused just because of a woman. When will I throw him into the river and let him sober up?"
When Gu Tinghuai heard this, a bitter smile appeared between his brows.
He now knows that Tian Jing is not a good person, but no one knows the second brother's thoughts better than him. It is not easy to make him wake up overnight. There will be more trouble in the future.
Gu Zhifeng pondered for a moment and said, "It's not easy to get them to come and deliver food on their own initiative."
Gu Yuehuai shrugged, his eyes indifferent: "If they don't come to deliver it, let the team go to their house to ask for it in person."
"We are all from the same team. Isn't this a bad idea?" Gu Tinghuai hesitated.
When Gu Xihuai came in, he saw them gathered together and whispering something. He was not curious. He put away the washed dishes and went back to the inner room. Before entering the room, he said, "Go to bed early. Kerosene is not cheap. Use it sparingly."
Hearing this, the three of them laughed in silence.
Gu Tinghuai looked outside and said, "It's too late today. Tian Jing and Chen Yin will definitely not come. Let's go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow morning!"
Gu Yuehuai nodded, but didn't insist on running over to ask for food in the middle of the night.
She cleaned up the dishes and was about to blow out the kerosene lamp when she heard Tian Jing's voice from outside the yard: "Gu Yuehuai! Gu Yuehuai? You are home, come and open the door!"
Gu Tinghuai raised his eyebrows and said to Gu Yuehuai, "Don't move, I'll go open it."
However, before he got off the kang, the door of the inner room suddenly opened, and Gu Ruihuai rushed out like a gust of wind, opened the door and ran out, afraid of being a step slower. His anxious and frantic look made Gu Yuehuai frown.
She thought she had never underestimated Gu Ruihuai's feelings for Tian Jing, but today, she suddenly felt the heavy weight of it.
In his previous life, he only settled down with Tian Jing after she got married and moved to the capital. At that time, they didn't know that it was Tian Jing who reported Gu Zhifeng for speculation. With his family in turmoil, he hastily married a woman from the neighboring village.
How can he know Tian Jing's true face in advance and stop himself from going too far in this life?
Gu Yuehuai sat on the kang in a daze, looking a little dazed.
At this time, Gu Ruihuai welcomed Tian Jing into the house.
She had changed out of the brand new clothes she had worn this morning, and was wearing rustic black cloth shoes. The pretty color was greatly reduced in this way. However, compared with Gu Yuehuai now, the difference was still obvious.
Tian Jing looked at Gu Yuehuai calmly, holding a full bag of grain in her hands.
"Xiao Jing? What happened to you?"
Gu Ruihuai was originally very happy to see Tian Jing coming over, but when he saw that she looked unhappy and was still holding the bag of grain in her hands, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something had happened at home that he didn't know about.
"Gu Yuehuai, what's going on? Have you provoked Xiaojing again?" Seeing that Tian Jing didn't say anything, Gu Ruihuai looked at Gu Yuehuai with a bad face. His pair of slender eyes were filled with anger, as sharp as a knife.
Gu Yuehuai ignored his second brother, chuckled, and said leisurely: "Tian Jing, are you here to deliver food?"
"Send food? What kind of food?" Gu Ruihuai glanced at the bag of food in Tian Jing's arms with a suspicious look on his face.
"Oh, second brother, you don't know. Today, Tian Jing and Chen Yin were playing tricks in the fields, chatting and not working. I reported them, and then Tian Jing was caught by Director Wang and Director Huang. Look, the team has punished her."
"30 kilograms of grain per person, as a reward for my selfless reporting of the lazy members."
Gu Yuehuai spoke slowly and with a hint of smile on his face, but the ridicule in his tone was undisguised.
There were members who were lazy in the past, and the team would just criticize and urge them with loud but little action. Afterwards, the members continued to do as they pleased. This time it was like killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and Tian Jing and Chen Yin were the chickens that were caught by the neck.
Gu Ruihuai widened his eyes and looked at Gu Yuehuai in disbelief.
Punishment?
He turned to look at Tian Jing again, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Tian Jing listened to Gu Yuehuai's deliberate sarcasm and ridicule, a fierce look and a moment of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath, put the grain bag on the small table on the earthen kang, and turned away without saying a word.
Gu Yuehuai looked at Tian Jing's slender back and suddenly asked, "Did Chen Yuesheng give you this food?"
Tian Jing turned around suddenly, her voice cold: "Gu Yuehuai! Don't go too far!"
Gu Yuehuai smiled indifferently, picked up the grain bag, weighed it, opened it and took a look. There were 30 kilograms of brown rice inside.
Tian Jing was shaking with anger. Seeing Gu Yuehuai checking the grain bags in front of her, she looked increasingly embarrassed and walked out of the yard without looking back.
"I'll settle the score with you when I get back!" Gu Ruihuai tapped Gu Yuehuai's nose and chased after him.
"This brat! Settle a score? With whom? Look at what he's capable of! I'll skin him alive!" Gu Zhifeng was so angry that he glared at him with his eyes wide open. He slammed the table and was about to get up and chase him, but was stopped by Gu Tinghuai in a gentle tone.
He said, "Okay, Dad, given the second son's bad temper, what's the point of beating him to death?"
Gu Zhifeng choked and turned to look at Gu Yuehuai.
As the person involved, she looked surprisingly calm, not sad or angry. Instead, she smiled at him while holding the grain bag: "Thirty kilograms of grain, enough for us to eat for a few days."
Gu Tinghuai looked at the smile on her face and felt a pang in his heart.
Gu Zhifeng yelled, "Don't be afraid, my dear. This rebellious boy doesn't even consider whether others will look down upon him. He deserves to be punished!"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said calmly, "Okay, Dad, it's not a big deal. Is it worth getting angry? Go to bed early. You still have to go to work tomorrow. I'll go back to the room first."
After saying that, she went back into the house and closed the door, blocking out the light from the kerosene lamp outside.
"Go and see what the useless second brother is doing. If he doesn't come back, then don't come back!" Gu Zhifeng frowned and waved her hand, asking Gu Tinghuai to go out and find Gu Ruihuai. It was late at night, and it would not sound good if he stayed with Tian Jing for too long.
He is stupid to begin with, and is ready to give his heart to others. If he doesn't control himself, Tian Jing's charm will drive him insane sooner or later!
