Chapter 19 Are we being a little too sinister?
But Li Baotian's mistake was understandable, he was just thinking about his daughter.
Of course, from a public perspective, the mistake Li Baotian made was outrageous and could even be described as selfish.
Zhou Yong gradually lowered his head, and Li Baotian fell silent after he finished speaking.
Zhang Guifang entered the room wearing an apron: "What happened to you two?"
Li Baotian scratched his head and replied absentmindedly, "It's about work."
Zhang Guifang didn't think much about it, picked up the thermos on the cabinet lid and left the house.
Zhou Yong raised his hand and touched his nose, thinking of countermeasures in his mind. Li Baotian's mind was also busy, but the more anxious he became, the less he could think of a good way to solve the problem.
The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other and saw the difficulty in each other's eyes.
Li Baotian sighed: "Old Gao is really pitiful. If he can't go back, the family will be gone."
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes and said, "Lao Gao's experience is worthy of sympathy, but the problem is that we can't protect ourselves now."
"So you mean to give her the spot?"
Zhou Yong was unwilling to give the quota to Bai Jie, as he had not forgotten how badly Bai Jie had cheated him.
Zhou Yong once secured a place for her to return home, but Lao Gao, who had no hope of returning home, started to make a fuss, and Bai Jie betrayed Zhou Yong to gain everyone's sympathy.
Zhou Yong was reported for corruption and bribery and was locked up in a small dark room for more than a month. Fortunately, Cao Biao and others were there with him, so he did not suffer any punishment. In the end, he was unjustly sent to a farm for two years of reform.
Li Baotian was affected by this incident and ended up being dismissed as village chief...
Fortunately, Cao Biao and his colleagues worked hard for Zhou Yong, and he was released after being on the farm for half a year...
Thinking of the past, Zhou Yong clenched his outstretched hands into fists. At this moment, he wanted to cut Bai Jie into pieces to vent his hatred.
He thought so, but he wouldn't do it.
Considering the harm Bai Jie had brought to him, death would be too easy for her. Zhou Yong wanted to make her live in agony.
Watching her sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire, unable to extricate herself, watching her struggle in hell.
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips. Thinking about these things, he came up with an idea of how to deal with Bai Jie.
She was unkind and unjust first, so don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless.
Zhou Yong had an evil smile on his face. He slowly raised his head and looked at his father-in-law as usual.
"Dad, the reason why Bai Jie is in a hurry to return home is that I guess she wants to go back and marry her fiancé before her family knows about what happened here. In this way, even if her family knows about this later, the man won't make a big deal out of it for the sake of face..."
Zhou Yong first learned about Bai Jie's fiancé when Xu Yanmei accidentally let the secret slip when she was drunk.
But Zhou Yong never mentioned this matter to anyone. It was not because he wanted to protect Bai Jie, but because he thought it was someone else's private matter and it was not right for a grown man like him to gossip about it.
"Bai Jie has a fiancé?"
Zhou Yong recalled what Xu Yanmei had said before, and a look of mockery appeared in his eyes.
"Yes, but the man's family is poor, and she is a person who is too picky, so how could she be attracted to him? Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the countryside..."
There is a policy for going to the countryside, and only unemployed and unmarried men and women are allowed to do so.
Bai Jie had good thoughts when she went to the countryside. She mistakenly believed that she could return to the city after working on construction projects for a year or two.
She didn't want the policy to change, and as she was a person who couldn't stand hardship, she gradually developed evil thoughts.
Li Baotian was stunned and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Even so, what can we do to her?"
Zhou Yong smiled softly: "Dad, if we cut off her escape route, will she still have the nerve to return home?"
"this?"
Once Bai Jie's affairs spread back to her hometown, she would not even be able to enter the house, and the man would quickly break off the engagement with her.
What will she do then?
One dies, the other lives on in a miserable way.
Based on Zhou Yong's understanding of Bai Jie, she would not die. After all, she is an ambitious woman...
Li Baotian was already in a state of panic. He opened his mouth and said, "Zhou Yong, aren't we being too mean by this?"
Even at this point, Li Baotian still couldn't bear it.
Insidious?
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "Dad, I know you have a kind heart, but kindness depends on the person. She has tried to trick you to death, and you still care about her feelings?"
Li Baotian blinked and lowered his head without saying anything. Zhou Yong shook his head: "Dad, she only gives you one day, you can handle the rest..."
"I?"
Zhou Yong was holding back his pee, so he left the house after saying this.
Li Baotian lowered his head and thought about these things, and gradually he figured it out.
Originally, he had no intention of harming Bai Jie, but was instead being controlled and threatened, so it was only natural for him to fight back.
Li Baotian suddenly felt brighter. He stood up from the edge of the kang and said, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel."
Li Baotian didn't even have breakfast and rushed to the brigade.
Zhou Yong looked at his father-in-law's receding back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Zhang Guifang wiped her hands with her apron and muttered as she watched her husband leave: "What happened to your dad? He's like he's on fire!"
Zhou Yong replied: "Maybe there's something wrong with the team!"
Is there something wrong with the team?
What time is it now?
What could possibly happen to the team?
Zhang Guifang was puzzled and muttered to herself while cooking. It was almost five o'clock before Li Caiyun came out of the west room.
I overslept for a nap.
"Mom, why didn't you wake me up?"
Zhang Guifang glanced at her daughter who was about to wash her face and said, "You can't get up by yourself, and you expect me to call you?"
Li Caiyun smiled, and Zhang Guifang nagged her about being more and more lazy.
In fact, Li Caiyun is not lazy at all, and it can even be said that she is very capable.
"Mom, I'm going to the commune later. Do you need to buy anything for the family?"
Zhang Guifang really needed to buy some daily necessities. She didn't have much salt left at home, and there wasn't much soy sauce left either, so she asked Zhou Yong to buy some pork fat...
Zhou Yong kept all these things in mind, and Zhang Guifang went back to the house to get him the money and the purchase invoice.
"Mom, I have all the money and tickets."
Zhang Guifang stuffed the money into Zhou Yong's hand without further ado: "Take it. It doesn't matter whose money you use, it doesn't matter whose money you use."
Zhou Yong smiled and collected the money and the colorful purchase invoice.
Li Caiyun was wiping her face with a towel. Zhang Guifang asked her daughter, "Caiyun, don't you have anything to buy?"
It’s not easy to go to the commune, so just buy whatever you can bring back.
Li Caiyun glanced at Zhou Yong: "Mom, I don't have anything to buy."
Zhang Guifang didn't say anything else. Zhou Yong glanced at his young wife and smiled.
For breakfast, there are still the same two items: millet porridge, mixed flour steamed buns, and pickles.
After dinner, Zhou Yong didn't rush out. Li Caiyun was a little puzzled as she cleaned up the dishes and asked, "Zhou Yong, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Although the distance from their village to the commune is only more than 20 miles, it takes more than three hours to get there because of a winding mountain road that is difficult to travel.
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you!"
Li Caiyun was stunned: "Wait for me?"
Zhou Yong nodded: "Let's go to the commune together."
Li Caiyun was so happy that her face flushed with excitement. She nodded her head: "Then wait for me..."
