Chapter 113 Silently Stirring Up Trouble
However, they did not expect that in just half a day, someone would come out to cause trouble.
This is a provocation against their work.
Since Yang Erfu also gave the same answer, no one could question Zhao Xi or accuse him of acting arbitrarily.
"Then, why is it a new girl who just arrived? We have plenty of educated and good kids in our village. My son, Lichun, you're even his uncle, why isn't she..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Xi glared at her fiercely, looked around the crowd, and then stared at a certain spot, saying, "Zhao Xing, get out here and take your wife away."
"Hehe." Zhao Xing, bowing slightly, squeezed out of the crowd and said with a grin, "Second cousin, what my wife said isn't unreasonable. Zhao Jianguo can arrange things for his own daughter-in-law, so why can't you..."
"No way!" Zhao Xi glanced at him disdainfully, then looked around at the crowd. "All you ever think about is taking shortcuts, not being down-to-earth. Sooner or later you'll suffer the consequences."
Some people in the crowd were embarrassed and shrank behind others.
Zhao Xi didn't waste any words with them and said directly, "I know you have objections, but you should all keep them to yourselves. Get out of here, and if you keep nagging and delaying work, you'll have your work points deducted."
Tian Jinhua wanted to say something, but when she looked at Zhao Xing, he gave her a disdainful look and turned to leave.
Tian Jinhua's face turned pale instantly, and she shrank back in fear.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Chen Jing, who had been watching from within the crowd, frowned slightly and left with the crowd.
After the crowd had mostly dispersed, Yang Erfu spoke up, "Old Zhao, the way you talk isn't appropriate."
Zhao Xi snorted coldly, "What am I afraid of? A bunch of rabble and scheming villains."
Zhao Xi was confident, and he hadn't been wasting his years of experience. He knew that dealing with some scoundrels was pointless; you couldn't reason with them, and reasoning wouldn't work. Sometimes, you had to resort to tough measures.
Chen Jing returned to the field somewhat dejectedly, not seeing the desired effect, and Li Wenxiang and Fang Yan immediately gathered around her.
"Xiao Jing, how is it?" Fang Yan asked impatiently.
Chen Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head regretfully.
"Sigh." Fang Yan sighed, somewhat complaining, "What a great opportunity, how could it be snatched away by a new girl?"
In fact, the girls all knew the unspoken truth: because of Wang Aizhen's incident, the selection for this time would likely come from their own educated youth institute, and they would be competitors. Although they appeared to get along well on the surface, they were secretly trying to find connections and ask for favors.
But I never expected it to end like this.
Liu Yunxia walked over from the paddy field carrying several bundles of rice seedlings. Chen Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled, "Sister Liu, have you heard? The newcomer, Su Xiaoxiao, has started working at the breeding farm."
Liu Yunxia paused slightly, then smiled and said, "That's wonderful! We'll congratulate her together when we get back from work."
After saying that, she turned around and continued walking forward, as if she had only heard ordinary news and was not affected at all.
"Tch, what's with the high and mighty attitude?" Fang Yan rolled her eyes at the sky with disdain.
"Don't say that, or she might hear you," Li Wenxiang said weakly, continuing to play the innocent victim.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Fang Yan said dismissively. "She's probably feeling quite annoyed inside."
Originally, they thought their biggest competitor would be Liu Yunxia, after all, she had been there for so many years and had a very good reputation among the village leaders.
