Chapter 89 Cousin
When Secretary Wu stopped panting, he became the amiable Secretary Wu again.
"Tongya! You are really thoughtful. Although these 'stinky old nine' were sent down to the countryside for reform, since they were assigned to our village, it is also our responsibility. We can't just let them freeze and starve. They should at least have a place to live."
Su Tong let out a long sigh and said:
"I knew that you, Secretary Wu, would understand. I was afraid that I had done something wrong, which made me frightened all night. Now I am finally relieved!"
"Well, Secretary Wu! Now that everything has been made clear, you can take the two stinky old nines away now. If it is convenient, can you build a shack for them farther away? I am afraid of being mixed up with them again and again!"
Secretary Wu was about to nod, but then he turned around and felt a little troubled.
All the laborers in the village have gone to the dike, and the earliest batch will not be back until tomorrow. They have been doing heavy physical work for more than ten days, and it will be difficult to assign them more work even if they come back.
It would take at least three or four skilled workers to build a shack. They have to find people and prepare materials. The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. Who would be willing to do it?
Although this girl is good at quibbling, she is right about one thing: these two old men really can't die so easily, at least they can't have anything to do with Sanlangzi.
There are many people eyeing the new house in the cowshed, and even more people eyeing the job in the cowshed. No matter how you look at it, it is a fact that Sanlangzi occupied the house of the two old men, and now he has taken over Tongya's job. The whole village is jealous!
The last time the comrades from the province came down, they hinted that the wind direction had changed and it was hard to predict what the weather would be like in the future. Anyway, the two old men were honest and wouldn't cause any trouble, so he had to leave himself a way out...
Alas! He originally didn't want to make a big scene, but this girl has been so popular recently, and he wanted to use her name to be selected as an "advanced village" to see if he could get a university place for his son, but it ended up falling through!
He had long been planning to replace the person who was doing the work in the cowshed. He had wanted to take advantage of the girl's absence to let San Lengzi take over first, and then discuss it with her when she came back, and give her another easier job. Then he would let San Lengzi take advantage of the situation...
As a result, Sanlengzi not only let the cat out of the bag in advance, but also made things worse!
He turned around and thought, take advantage of her breaking the glass and taking in the "stinky old nine" to teach her a lesson, to suppress her arrogance, so that she will honestly give up the job, and by the way, let her see who has the final say in Yunshan Village...
As a result, she became more and more reasonable and more arrogant as she spoke!
Moreover, he actually thought what she said made sense!
He didn't care how "Stinky Old Nine" lived, but he couldn't let him die! He didn't dare to do anything behind his back!
With Sanlangzi making such a fuss in front of so many people watching, if something really happens, people will accuse him of abusing his power, bending the law, and taking human lives lightly!
It was so cold, and the two old men were not very smart. They would get injured every time they went to work, either breaking their arms or legs. Even if they built a shack, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not freeze to death. However, the woodshed in her yard -
It's empty anyway...
This girl doesn’t have a good reputation anyway, but she has been quite capable recently!
It’s better than…
Thinking of this, Secretary Wu looked up and smiled at Su Tong, "Well, Tongya! Uncle can discuss something with you? You see... the New Year is coming soon, and it will take a while for us to find someone to build a shed for those two. It's so cold today, and we can't let them..."
"No! Secretary Wu! Please don't let them live in my yard again! If they do it again like today, I will lose my life! I can't stand it!"
"How could that be! I promise you, something like what happened today won't happen again! This is all a misunderstanding! This... everyone is still here!"
As Secretary Wu spoke, he looked at the few people who had watched the whole process from beginning to end, and regretted it extremely. If he had known it would end like this, he would not have brought so many people here. They heard everything they should and shouldn't have heard, and now they would have to go and criticize them one by one.
After some refusals, Su Tong finally nodded reluctantly and agreed to help the village get through this "difficult time". He also repeatedly shouted to the people brought by Secretary Wu:
"Everyone is a witness! I agreed to lend you the woodshed for the sake of our village!"
Secretary Wu finally left with his men, and the courtyard returned to silence.
Only then did Su Tong finally relax. Today she borrowed some criminal investigation and interrogation techniques, first disrupting the other party's thinking, and then taking the dominant position to guide the topic. She was not professional in this area, but fortunately it was effective against these people in the village.
The two old men huddled in the corner of the yard. They were so frightened that their clothes were soaked with sweat in the freezing weather. They watched helplessly as this girl turned the whole situation around with just her mouth. It took them a long time to recover.
Until Su Tong grabbed Lao Lin and carried him to the brazier in the west room in three or two steps, and ordered:
"Lao Lin, light the brazier! Lao Qi, put away the luggage! We'll have breakfast in fifteen minutes!"
The two old men were dazed and acted according to Su Tong's instructions.
Fifteen minutes later, two old men sat beside a burning brazier, each holding a large bowl of noodles with eggs on top.
The steam was so hot that it made the two of them cry.
When Su Tong brought two more bowls of steaming Chinese medicine, Lao Lin couldn't help but shout, "Girl!"
But I don’t know what to say next…
Su Tong put down the bowl and said lightly, "We will resume exercise tomorrow morning! Lao Lin has to participate too. If your legs and feet are not good, do upper limb training. Don't be lazy!"
Turned around and went out.
Lao Lin looked at his shiny swollen ankle and quickly held back the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes.
But when he turned around, he saw a large paper bag next to the medicine bowl. He opened it and saw two wool scarves inside, one blue and one green. They were clearly prepared for them...
I couldn't stop crying after all.
Su Tong didn't have time to be sentimental with the two old men and was busy tidying up the house.
She made some arrangements before going out last time, thinking that maybe someone would take the opportunity to come to her house and steal something or do some damage. After all, it was useless to try to prevent theft in a rural yard. As a result, she didn't move the marks she made.
She didn't know that the Wu family had been so busy with their own affairs in recent days that they had no energy to take care of her.
After packing up, she went to Wu Qiuyu's house.
Old Mrs. Wu should have finished her medicine, and it’s time to start the second course of acupuncture treatment.
When she pushed open the door to the yard, Qiuyu was squatting in the yard boiling medicine. She turned around and saw that it was her who came in. She threw away her small fan, ran over and pulled her aside.
Su Tong thought she was going to ask about what happened this morning, but she said in a panic, "Sister! My cousin is back!"
Cousin?
Wu Jiafu?
She had been here for so long, and the guy who bullied Wu Tong the most finally showed up.
