Lin Ran took the scorebook and walked to the edge of the field with Lin Meng.
"Cousin, do you have something to ask me?"
"Ranran, grandma said she wanted to eat mushrooms, but when I went up the mountain to look for them, I found that all the mushrooms had been picked."
"I've seen you always pick a lot of mushrooms. Last time you even picked a whole basket. So I wanted to ask if you know where I can pick more mushrooms."
Lin Meng smiled in a flattering manner, and it was impossible to tell that she had ever had any conflicts with Lin Ran.
Lin Ran was a little impressed by her shamelessness. Had she forgotten the look on her face when she snatched her basket last time?
But no matter what, she would definitely not reveal San Ya's secret base.
"Cousin, you're joking. Didn't we go mushroom picking together last time?"
"You know I've only been up the mountain a few times, so how would I know any good spots? I always look for them along the foot of the mountain. I've had to work these past couple of days, so I have even less time to go."
"Can't find them anywhere? Did someone else pick them?"
Lin Ran is the best at playing dumb.
And she didn't believe Lin Meng's words at all, about grandma wanting to eat.
If grandma really wanted to eat it, they would definitely go directly to her house to ask for it instead of coming to me privately.
Thinking of Lin Meng's action of delivering food yesterday, she suspected that Lin Meng's going to look for mushrooms was also related to the group of people in the cowshed.
I have to say, Lin Ran really told the truth.
Today, Lin Meng brought some wild vegetables to the cowshed to improve his favor. Seeing that Lin Meng was so easy to talk to, Mr. Qian and the others naturally wanted to make some requests. After all, who likes to eat wild vegetables all day long?
It would be better for Lin Meng to bring mushrooms instead of wild vegetables. At least mushrooms are more delicious and filling than wild vegetables.
Anyway, we pick them all in the mountains, so it doesn’t matter what we pick.
Lin Meng originally wanted to please them, and now that she heard that they wanted to eat mushrooms, she naturally had to find a way to satisfy them.
She agreed readily, but after going up the mountain she found that mushrooms were hard to find.
Basically all the mushrooms at the foot of the mountain have been picked by the team, and the remaining ones are probably poisonous.
Although Lin Meng didn't know much about mushrooms, she knew that the brighter the color of the mushroom, the more poisonous it was.
She even ventured a little further up the mountain, but her flowers were also picked. Although no one went higher up, she didn't dare to go either.
I thought about how every time I met Lin Ran in the mountains, I could pick a lot of mushrooms.
This made Lin Meng wonder if it was Lin Ran's halo as the heroine that allowed her to find a mushroom base that no one else knew about.
That's why she wanted to try her luck with Lin Ran.
But now he didn't get the answer, and Lin Meng suddenly became anxious.
"Ranran, think about it carefully. Where else can you find mushrooms?"
"You know grandma's temper. If I don't find her, beating me is secondary. She might even go to your house to cause trouble with your uncle and his family. You don't want them to be bothered, do you?"
Ouch, you're even threatening me?
Lin Ran looked at her with a half-smile:
"If you can't find mushrooms in the mountains, do you expect us to create them?"
"I don't believe grandma is so unreasonable. Come on, I'll go with you to talk to grandma and have a good talk. Don't be afraid, cousin. Grandma is the one who is unreasonable in this matter."
As she said this, she made a gesture to leave.
Lin Meng thought Lin Ran was really going to look for Grandma Lin, and was so scared that she quickly pulled him back.
Although she didn't know why Lin Ran suddenly became so enthusiastic and even stood up for her.
But this matter cannot be brought to Grandma Lin’s attention, otherwise her lie will be exposed.
"Ranran, you must not go. If grandma knew that I came to look for you, I would be in even greater trouble."
"Since you don't know either, forget it. I'll go look for it on the mountain myself."
"I won't disturb you from working. Go and get busy. Don't let this little thing of mine delay your work."
With that she ran away as if escaping.
Lin Ran looked at her back and chuckled. This person really has a short memory.
You want to gain benefits but don't want to work hard. You always want to take shortcuts. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
She was kind enough not to interfere!
…
As soon as Accountant Zheng got home, he scolded Zheng Daya.
"Why didn't you remind me earlier?"
"If you had just given me a look when I first opened my mouth, would I have been so embarrassed?"
"I don't know what others will think of me now. Those who don't know will think that I am deliberately causing trouble for Lin Ran."
Zheng Daya was a little confused.
"But Dad, didn't you deliberately want to cause trouble for Lin Ran?"
Accountant Zheng choked.
"We can't let others see it. If it's true, it's fine. I can grab Lin Ran's pigtails and take the opportunity to get rid of her scorekeeper."
"But the fact is that I'm making things up. What do you think other people will think of your dad?"
"This will definitely affect my prestige in the team!"
Zheng Daya looked aggrieved.
"I winked at you the moment you said that, but you didn't even look at me. What can I do?"
"How come I have such a stupid daughter like you? I didn't see you pulling me aside?"
Accountant Zheng was extremely angry, but since things had come to this point, there was no point in saying more.
But he became more determined to bring down Lin Weiguo and his daughter.
Didn’t you see that no team members spoke up for you today?
Now the Lin family occupies two positions in the brigade headquarters, especially since Lin Ran is the scorekeeper. No one wants to offend the Lin family, so naturally no one dares to speak openly for them.
If this continues, will I still have a say in the brigade headquarters or even the entire brigade?
But he just made a fool of himself today, so he has to think carefully about what to do next.
Putting this matter aside for now, Accountant Zheng turned his attention to Shi Yan, another person who had embarrassed him, and looked at Zheng Daya with a look of disappointment.
"Why are you so useless? It's fine if Qin Lao Er can't take it, but at least he's a regular employee at the county textile factory now, so he's considered a city dweller."
"But Yan was just an educated youth back then. You couldn't even get it? And you made me lose face today. How could I have given birth to such a stupid daughter like you?"
"Tell me, are there any other good houses in this area?"
"If you marry well, wouldn't that be good for you? Why are you so disappointing?"
Zheng Daya's face turned red after being scolded, and she could only lower her head and pick at her fingers.
