Chapter 438 Dire straits



After He Wan came out of the "toilet" and returned to the field, she found that Chen Lemin had suddenly run to their group.

There are also Li Weidong and Li Erniu.

Li Erniu had been rejected by Chen Qing; that shameless guy was just there for the fun of it.

Ignoring Liang Shurui's presence, Li Weidong went straight to Chen Qing and started bragging: "Comrade Chen, I recently helped the village close a deal, dozens of kilograms of tofu a day. The village even gave me a dollar, and I bought a flashlight."

A few days ago, I helped the village get another order. The factory needed ten fish every day, and the village gave me another yuan. This time, I asked for an industrial ticket, and my mother said she would save it to buy me a bicycle later.

Moreover, my friend in the county town said that they might expand their workforce this year, so I should keep an eye out for it.

My family has already prepared the money. As long as they hire people, I'm sure I can get in. Then I'll be a worker in the county.

Lately, matchmakers have been knocking on my door trying to set me up with people, and you're the one I'd most like.

Chen Qing ignored him, but Liang Shurui stepped forward and pulled Chen Qing aside, saying, "Excuse me, Comrade Weidong, Chen Qing is dating me now."

"You guys date your partners, I'm pursuing mine, and I didn't say anything to you."

For an unreasonable village bully like Li Weidong, Liang Shurui, an educated man, simply couldn't reason with him using the normal methods he had learned to handle things.

Chen Lemin, on the other hand, was much more reserved, only occasionally smiling at Zhang Cuicao.

Zhang Cuicao's gaze was almost entirely fixed on Liang Shurui.

These educated youths, if you pay a little attention, you can tell.

That morning, their group was in a real predicament.

Of course, He Wan is an exception.

On the way back, Xue Zhenzhen laughed and said, "I don't think much of that Li Fugui. Anyway, after what happened with Chen Aimin, I'm determined not to date anyone from the village again."

Su Ranran said, "Then be careful. Don't go out alone in the future. If they stop you by themselves and the village misunderstands, you won't be able to explain yourself. And Cuicao, be careful too."

“I’m usually in the pigsty, so I don’t run into him.”

Xue Zhenzhen said, "What's wrong with the brigade leader this year? He didn't let you participate in the spring planting last year, but he arranged for you all to participate this year."

"This year, the brigade leader wants to clear land and has found many strong men to go to the foot of the mountain. There aren't enough people here, so we have to go too. But I don't care. If someone needs to see a doctor, I'll go as soon as I'm called. I can't do much work in a day."

"Sigh, you all have easy jobs, but I can only work honestly. If we're talking about the rest of us, He Wan is the one with the easiest job."

Running up the mountain every day doesn't mean I have to be in the sun, it's easy, and I'm young, so nobody in the village cares about me.

Su Ranran laughed and said, "She's not young anymore. She's sixteen this year. Many people in the village know that she's a martyr's family member and receives a considerable allowance every month. He Zhiqing, you'd better be careful when dealing with the villagers in the future, especially those older women."

"I know."

Hearing Su Ranran's reminder, He Wan also felt a wake-up call.

Putting aside whether any man would be interested in her small frame, the subsidies she receives are enough to make the villagers envious.

Zhang Cuicao, who had been silent until now, asked, "Why has Li Weidong started targeting Chen Qing again lately?"

Xue Zhenzhen said, "It's because the villagers have been praising me to the skies lately, and they think it's amazing that I brought in two business deals for the village."

He Wan said, "He's so shameless, saying he wants to compete fairly with Liang Shurui."

Su Ranran tugged at Zhang Cuicao: "Didn't you say you'd let it go? What's wrong with you today? You keep staring at Comrade Liang. Chen Qing glared at you several times and you didn't even notice."

Zhang Cuicao opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say; she just couldn't help it.
