Uncle Li, who had been chasing Lin Yizhen, saw his son leaving on the ox cart and cursed, "This kid is always so slow, how come he's working so efficiently today?"
But no matter how he cursed, Li Daniu could not hear him.
At this time, he was driving the ox cart almost to the village entrance.
Seeing some villagers waiting at the entrance of the village, he did not stop the car, but cracked the whip to speed past them.
Most of the people standing at the village entrance waiting for the bus are women in their early thirties.
Of course, there are also young women who have just gotten married or are not married yet.
Lu Zhaodi was one of them who had just gotten married. When she saw a ox cart coming from a distance, she excitedly waved to the people on the cart.
But when the ox cart approached and Lu Zhaodi saw Lin Yizhen sitting on it, she could no longer laugh.
What made her even more angry was that the driver did not stop at the village entrance. As if he did not see them, he sped up and ran forward.
However, no matter how fast the ox cart is, it can't go much faster.
So, a bold idea came to Lu Zhaodi's mind.
She walked to the middle of the road with her arms outstretched and yelled, "Stop the car, we're going to town too, take us with you."
Seeing this, others also came to the middle of the road and stopped the car.
Li Daniu, the driver, saw some people in front of him and was afraid that they would stop him, so he sped up. But he didn't expect that these people would actually stand in the middle of the road and stop him.
But with so many people blocking the way, Li Daniu didn't dare to just rush through.
He could only helplessly stop not far from them and said, "Please move aside. My ox cart won't take anyone today. You can take Mr. Zhuang's ox cart to town!"
"Nonsense, if you don't take us with you, why is Lin Zhiqing sitting on the ox cart?" Lu Zhaodi pointed at Lin Yizhen unconvinced.
After hearing what Lu Zhaodi said, Li Daniu looked back at Lin Yizhen and said, "Because Lin Zhiqing hired my ox cart today, I'm only taking Lin Zhiqing to town today."
Hearing Li Daniu's words, the people blocking the road widened their eyes.
Then, one of them said in disbelief, "What do you mean she paid for it? We are villagers too. We will also pay for the fare. Why can't she take us to town?"
After hearing her words, Lin Yizhen looked up at the person who spoke.
I know that this person is one of the most gossipy people in the village, and the rumors about Ahua Po are also related to her.
Including her own message last time, this person also spread it privately.
Lin Yizhen didn’t like her, so she replied, “Let me explain to you what’s going on.
What Uncle Da Niu meant was: I spent two dollars to rent the ox cart driven by Uncle Da Niu for a day, and the ox cart driven by Uncle Da Niu is only for my use on this day.
If you want to ride in Uncle Niu's ox cart, you'll have to wait until tomorrow, and Uncle Niu will have to agree to take you."
"Two dollars? That's so much?"
"you······"
"You've hired the oxcart, so how are we going to get to town?"
"You are acting like a capitalist lady. The ox cart in the village is for the convenience of the villagers, not for you to enjoy alone."
Several people standing on the ground began to talk at once and criticize Lin Yizhen, and even labeled her a capitalist.
Lin Yizhen hasn’t said anything yet!
Li Daniu was furious when he heard this. His family had finally landed a big order, and they hadn't even earned their money yet! These people were going to accuse Lin Zhiqing of something.
What if Lin Zhiqing takes back the deposit because of this?
Two dollars, he might not be able to earn that much money even if he runs for four or five days.
Even though we had to give most of it to the villagers, we could still earn 80 cents for ourselves. We could even buy two pounds of meat from the supply and marketing cooperative, so we couldn't let these people ruin our harvest.
So, Li Daniu said to them with a very bad face: "Although this cow belongs to the village, it has always been taken care of by my family.
Moreover, we have to hand over the money we earn to the team.
Besides, Lin Zhiqing only hired a ox cart because he had an urgent matter today and had a lot of things to buy.
I just asked you to wait here for a while, why are you arguing?
You are putting such a big accusation on Lin Yizhen. I think you are the bad elements who are destroying the unity of the villagers."
Lu Zhaodi and several other people who wanted to ride in the ox cart were shocked when they heard Li Daniu say that they were bad elements who were destroying the unity of the villagers.
He quickly explained, "Li Daniu, please don't talk nonsense. We were just in a hurry to get to the town, so we didn't destroy the unity of the villagers."
Lu Zhaodi was also frightened by Li Daniu's words, even though she came from a working-class family and was an educated youth who went to the countryside.
But if he really spread this, she would definitely be arrested and questioned by those people from the GW Club. By then, she would be in great pain, if not dead.
GW won’t care whether what you said is true or false. Even if they find out that you are not a bad guy, you will still be in trouble.
No, I can't let Li Daniu put the label of bad guy on my head.
Isn't it just a matter of waiting a little longer? She just waited.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhaodi lifted the bamboo basket on her arm.
Then he said to Li Daniu, "Since she has booked the ox cart for today, I will wait for Master Zhuang's ox cart."
As she spoke, she made way and stood by the road waiting.
Seeing Lu Zhaodi's actions, the others looked at each other.
Finally, everyone gave way.
Seeing them make way, Li Daniu nodded secretly in his heart.
They must have known what was best for them, otherwise he would have gone to the team leader and complained about them. Li Daniu thought to himself as he drove the ox cart.
Lin Yizhen felt relieved when she saw those who were blocking the road make way.
She was not afraid of Lu Zhaodi and these gossips, but she was mainly afraid that they would delay her from going to town to buy things.
After all, she has a lot of things to buy today.
It was cold in the winter, and Lin Yizhen didn't want to go out in the cold every day. Now that they were wasting less time, she had more time to shop.
There is still sunshine today, but the temperature is still very low.
Because we left early, the road was still icy. The oxcart was easy to drive, but it was a bit cold sitting on it.
When Lin Yizhen went out, she had already put on a cotton jacket.
Unexpectedly, it was still very cold sitting on the ox cart. She had to use her inner strength to resist the cold.
Li Daniu, who was driving the cart in front, was fine. In addition to the sheepskin coat he was wearing, he was also wearing a second-hand military coat.
The military coat was very torn, and the cotton inside was exposed in several places.
I don't know where his family got it from. I haven't heard that anyone in his family is in the army!
Even in the entire Lizhuang Village, there are only a few people serving in the army. Soldiers are very popular these days, and if you want to join the army, you have to wait for quotas from above.
As far as Lin Yizhen knows, their Lizhuang Village has not been allocated a quota for two years.
Although Lin Yizhen was curious about where Li Daniu's family got the military coat, she did not ask.
Lin Yizhen rode in an oxcart, using her inner energy to circulate all the way to the town. Although it consumed a lot of her inner energy, she was no longer cold.
