Chapter 43 The Bet Was Won
The crowd took the initiative to make way.
The captain looked at Li Zhiqing who was walking towards him and his face was a little hesitant for a moment.
There are so many young men in the village and none of them can do it. How can a girl like her drive a tractor?
Bai Wei was like a cold, poisonous snake hiding in the dark. She stared at Li Qingge with eyes filled with overwhelming hatred.
It was all because of this bitch. She failed in the mission again and her punishment was that she gained 20 pounds and had a double chin on her face. She looked at her black hands and her skin became even darker, becoming as dark as those bumpkins in the village.
The admiring looks she received before also disappeared. She was sensitive and noticed that Mu Chuan's attitude towards her recently was not as good as before.
She really wanted to go back to the way she was before. The system hadn't issued any tasks in the past few days. No matter how she called out, the system was like a dead person and didn't make a sound.
Li Qingge stood at the front of the crowd. After a moment of silence, the chattering noises resumed.
"Oh my, this is incredible. A little girl who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is wants to drive a tractor. If she can drive one, I will write my name backwards."
"That's right. Don't think that just because you know a few words, you don't know your own weight. Don't you have any idea at all?"
Aunt Wang's husband Liu Da Kui did not forget to add insult to injury. When he got excited, he spit out saliva. The people around him wiped their faces and took two steps back in disgust.
"I bet if she could drive a tractor, I would kneel down and call her aunt."
He looked confident, as if he was certain that Li Qingge would not open it.
Li Qingge glanced at him and said, "Liu Dagui, I don't have a junior as ugly as you. If you want to bet, I'll bet with you."
"What's the bet?"
"If I bet you I can drive a tractor, you give me fifty dollars. If I can't drive a tractor, you give me fifty dollars."
Fifty yuan made Liu Dagui excited, as it was equivalent to a worker's two months' salary.
Greed flashed in his eyes. "Okay, you are not allowed to regret it. The elders and fellow villagers must all bear witness for me. What you say is as good as your words. You must keep your word."
Li Qingge nodded: "Of course."
[Hehe, another fifty dollars will go into my pocket. This dog-eyed guy will be blinded by the time I see that I can not only drive a tractor, but also a car and a truck. Hum.]
The arrogance in her voice made Gongsun Shi Nian unable to help laughing.
Wen Shaoqing: I admire you so much! My sister Li is indeed not an ordinary person.
When the captain heard what Li Qingge really thought, he felt relieved. It turned out that this girl was not bragging and she really could drive a tractor.
The agricultural machinery station was right in the commune. The team leader took Li Qingge to the station, and Liu Da Kui insisted on going with them. He had made a bet with Li Qingge that he couldn't let the fifty dollars go to waste.
There were more than a dozen members following behind to watch the fun.
More than 20 people have come to the agricultural machinery station, all of whom were selected from nearby villages to learn how to operate tractors.
They were all young and strong men. When they saw Li Qingge, a delicate and beautiful woman, they were first stunned by her beauty, but when they heard that she came to learn how to operate a tractor, they showed disdain.
A woman's destiny is to get married, have children and serve her husband. Why would she want to learn how to use a tractor to show off her abilities?
The members of the Xinghua Brigade were so angry that they started to mock Li Jianguo: "Captain Li, are there no men left in Zhuzuiling? Send a woman to learn how to use tractors?"
The rest of them said nothing, their contempt very obvious.
Captain Zhao Youcai had seen enough of the fun, so he jumped out and pretended to be a good guy.
"Shut up, what do you know? Captain Li is a man of foresight, maybe he has his own ideas?"
Li Jianguo took a puff of his pipe and stood there as steady as an old dog, with no intention of paying attention to anyone.
Zhao Youcai seemed like a clown who performed a show but no one applauded.
There were 30 brand new Dongfanghong tractors parked in the yard, with big red flowers hanging on them, looking majestic.
Liu Dagui specifically reminded: "Li Zhiqing, don't forget the bet we made."
Li Qingge: Are you just going to rush to give her money?
She rolled her eyes and told the teacher that she could drive a tractor. The teacher, half-believing, let her give it a try.
When the people who came to study heard that she was going to drive a tractor, they spontaneously stood on both sides of the road to make room for her, waiting to see her make a fool of herself and cry.
She carefully checked the water tank and fuel tank, and then checked the handbrake, clutch and other parts.
I took the hand crank, inserted it into the hand crank plug hole, and cranked it twice. The car body made a rattling sound, and the engine was started.
Li Qingge pulled out the hand crank and put it away, then jumped onto the front seat and the car began to move slowly.
"It's moving, it's moving, the tractor is moving."
“I didn’t expect she could really open it.”
The tall and strong men looked at Li Qingge with admiration as she drove the tractor around in circles in the yard of the agricultural machinery station.
They put away their contemptuous looks. People with ability will be respected wherever they are.
When she turned off the engine and jumped off the tractor, she was surrounded by a group of young men and team leaders. Some of the team leaders were even eager to try and poach her.
Captain Li proudly pulled Li Qingge out of the crowd.
"What are you doing? This is our educated youth from Zhuzuiling."
He glared at those captains who had bad intentions, with a strong warning look in his eyes.
Captain Xinghua's face turned pale and looked extremely ugly.
No wonder the old man Li Jianguo was not in a hurry at all. It turned out that he had hidden a royal flush. How stupid.
The few people who had just ridiculed Li Qingge felt like they were slapped on the face.
Taking advantage of the excitement, Liu Da Kui quietly hid in the crowd and wanted to slip away.
"Liu Dagui, where are you going? You're not going to default on your debt, are you?"
Liu Dagui, who lost the bet, wanted to cry but had no tears: "No, I don't have any money. I'm going back to the village to get you some money."
Li Qingge said meaningfully: "Go ahead, I have a bad temper, don't try to make me angry."
Even a fool could hear the threat.
To put it in plain words, if Liu Da Kui dared not to give her the money, she would beat him up.
Liu Da Kui was about to cry. That was fifty yuan. How could he not feel bad?
He really wanted to deny the debt just now, but after being threatened by Li Zhiqing, he didn't dare to do so even if he was beaten to death.
He obediently went home to get the money and gave it to Li Qingge.
There was a small problem when withdrawing the money. Aunt Wang stopped him from taking the money. Liu Da Kui, who was very angry, started fighting with his wife.
Back at the farm machinery station, Li Qingge looked at the bloody scratches on his face with amusement, thinking that he deserved it.
The members of Zhuzuiling who had just laughed at her were all ashamed. Who knew that this educated youth Li was really capable and they were just blind.
Captain Xinghua was about to suffer from a cerebral thrombosis that he had been suffering for 30 years. He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Jianguo: "Well done Captain Li, you are really a hidden talent."
