Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Teach the Bully a Lesson
It is very important to control the timing of wheat sowing. A little rain cannot stop the villagers from working in the fields. Instead, they are urged to work faster, otherwise the seedlings in the fields will not survive when the weather gets cold.
The team went to work as usual today.
Ye Yu's clothes today have a lot of patches on them. They are work clothes made by patching together old clothes. Even Wang Laidie's craftsmanship cannot save them. As for the fashion sense, it is nonsense.
I put on the straw sandals I bought from Sister Guihua, stood up and walked around twice. The shoes were indeed light and comfortable, and they didn't hurt my feet. The only drawback was that the soles were relatively thin and more easily damaged. I then put on a hat and tied it around my chin with a hemp rope. This way, I wouldn't have to worry about it falling off even if I moved too much or it was windy, and it made my work more convenient.
Went out like yesterday.
The people I met on the road were all dressed similarly, basically wearing a Dou-li hat, and some even wore a full set of straw raincoat. At first glance, they were very representative of the times.
Even though she was dressed similarly to the villagers, Ye Yu still looked very different, a bright and eye-catching sight in the crowd.
The beautiful girls and young wives in the village only thought she was pretty, had a good look and walked beautifully, so they secretly learned to straighten their backs and waists.
It shrank back after a flick of the brush, the tips of its ears were still a little red. He looked around quietly, and seeing that he was not the only one doing this, he took it for granted.
Young and lively girls are not bad in themselves, and when they become confident, they all have their own beauty.
Of the four educated youth, Ye Yu was the one who spoke the least, seldom laughed, and kept a distance from others.
But there are still some socialites who come over to chat with me: "My dear, why are you the only one here today?"
Another young man helped answer: "I know, I know. Several other comrades took leave and went to the town. I saw them leaving this morning."
"Are they going home?"
"I've only been here for one day. This is impossible, right?"
"What's impossible? It's a waste to do farm work like that. It's a waste of your height. If it were me, I would just dive into a manure pit and drown. Hahaha, I don't know how our lame team leader selected the educated youth."
The people at the beginning were mostly curious, with a little bit of ridicule at most, but the person who said this at the end clearly had bad intentions and was full of malice.
Ye Yu frowned and glanced over.
She saw a young man jumping up and down. He was well dressed and had few patches on his face. However, his appearance was in line with his heart. His triangular eyes made him look mean, and when he laughed, three or five uneven fangs were exposed, making him even more disgusting.
People around him call him "Wang Laosan".
This is Wangjiagou. There are a lot of people with the surname Wang, and many of them are the third child in their family. If you can identify someone by their name "Wang Laosan", you can almost be sure that they are the old village chief's family.
Ye Yu rejoiced for the villagers of Wangjiagou.
The fact that the village chief is not such a stupid and vicious villain is a small advantage of destroying ancestral halls, abandoning the so-called old customs of respecting virtues and honoring people, and practicing people's autonomy.
Maybe because of the laughter, this person was given confidence and jumped around happily.
Ye Yu retorted: "You're right. If you can't plow a hundred acres of land every day, lift the village's 500-jin stone mill, and cut thousands of jin of firewood for the winter, then you've grown so big in vain. If it were me, I would just jump into a manure pit and drown."
The sound is not loud, but it is very penetrating and clearly pronounced, reaching everyone's ears at once.
“…”
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Who here can plow a hundred acres of land, lift a 500-jin stone mill, and chop thousands of jin of firewood a day?
"The girl is young, but she has such an arrogant tone." The man with triangular eyes glared at her.
"You seem quite old, but your eyes are not big." Ye Yu looked him up and down and came to his conclusion.
"you!"
Wang Laosan was used to having everything go smoothly in the village. The villagers would give him some face for the sake of his grandfather and father. He had never been confronted directly like this before. He was furious and rushed forward with his head down, holding the hoe tightly in his hand.
Maybe it happened suddenly, or maybe the operator was timid, and the people around him were unable to stop for a while.
Some people were worried about Ye Yu. After all, Wang Laosan had a hoe in his hand, while Ye Yu was unarmed, so he couldn't help holding his breath.
But Ye Yu still looked calm and unhurried. When Wang Laosan rushed up to him, he quickly turned around and kicked him.
Then, Wang Laosan turned into a parabola and flew out. It took several meters for him to land on the ground with a muffled sound.
"???"
"!!!"
Oh shit!
This female comrade is so strong and agile that no one could see clearly when she leaned sideways just now.
Born with supernatural powers!
Who knows, she could really plow a hundred acres of land every day, lift the village stone mill weighing 500 kilograms, and chop thousands of kilograms of firewood for the winter. In the past, she could have passed the imperial examination and become the top military scholar. But, no, women cannot pass the imperial examination and become the top military scholar.
After a while, Wang Laoer's father, the former village chief, arrived.
It was very common for disputes and fights to break out in the village. The former village chief was very experienced. He took the high ground and cried about how miserable his third son was. He had bruises all over his body, his hands were broken, and his legs might even be broken. He lamented that the educated youth were too cruel and did not even say hello to their elders when they met them. They lacked manners.
The skinny old man with lots of wrinkles on his face was wiping his tears and crying even more miserably than his son.
Some people couldn't stand it. They habitually stood on the side of the apparently weaker party and began to persuade the former village chief to help Wang Laoer up and talk it out properly.
Ye Yu didn't want to talk nicely. Against the backdrop of the father and son wailing, he sneered and said venomously: "So it's your family? He provoked first, beat people first, and brought weapons. When he was stopped in self-defense, he still had the nerve to cry and make a fuss? Tsk tsk tsk, what he said was wrong. He must have insulted the shit by jumping into the dung pit. At least other people's shit can fertilize the crops in the fields, but he can only whimper... To come up with such a thing, my dear master, your family education is certainly not comparable to mine."
Damn, this is so poisonous.
The city girls cursed differently from them, without using any dirty words or sexual connotations, and even using respectful titles. But in terms of viciousness, they were just as vicious. This time, Wang Laoer was even worse than shit.
Wang Laoer was so angry that he almost fell back, but he didn't dare to be cruel to Ye Yu again. His foot was still sprained, and he couldn't even pretend to be righteous if he was afraid.
The captain is here too.
When asked about the situation, he said: "The one who started it first is the loser. Whoever made the mistake should bear the consequences himself."
The former village chief just said that apart from anything else, the medical expenses had to be paid, and this was a very sound calculation.
"Luckily, you're not injured, so you don't have to pay for the medical expenses," Ye Yu said. "You can get some compensation for mental damage. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Food, vegetables and meat are all fine."
Former Village Chief:
...Who will pay whom? !
"puff--"
Some onlookers laughed.
There were also lively young people who said: "Ye Zhiqing, what is the cost of this mental loss?"
The Wang family may have done some real things for Wang Jiagou, but they have also done a lot of immoral things. Their reputation is mixed, and in recent years, the damage has outweighed the reputation. Therefore, not all villagers stand on their side.
Moreover, most of the villagers were just there to watch the fun. They didn't necessarily have to take sides. They laughed just now and they are laughing now. As long as it's funny, they will laugh.
"Do you understand the red spirit? The brigade is my home. We should live in peace, unity and friendship, and build a beautiful home together. Anyone who stirs up disputes among the masses is a bad element!" Ye Yu pieced together a bunch of nonsense and finally emphasized the key point, "We educated youth went to the countryside to learn and build the countryside. There is no reason for someone to chop us with a hoe. Even if we are not educated youth, this is a crime of intentional injury. Why don't we go to the town public security bureau to ask?"
These days, most of the issues in the team are resolved within the team, and there are very few problems in the commune. The Public Security Bureau, which the educated youth always talk about, has intimidated many villagers.
Including the former village chief.
Don’t be fooled by Wang Laoer’s loud noise, the one who really makes the decision is still his father.
Moreover, the team leader was not stupid, and it was even less likely that he would side with the Wang family who had always been in the same team with him. He immediately ordered Wang Laoer to compensate the educated youth with 1.5 yuan or 20 kilograms of food.
One yuan and fifty cents is definitely not enough to buy twenty kilograms of food, and even ten kilograms is not enough. But this is a village where making money is hard. Not to mention fine grains, one can still afford dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes and coarse grains, not to mention a family as well-off as Wang Laoer's.
Let’s leave this matter alone for now.
Ye Yu defeated the former village chief and the defeated village chief, and became famous in one battle. In addition, she had also argued with all the relatives and friends yesterday morning, and her reputation in the village was out of control, including the fact that she kicked Wang Laoer five/ten/dozens of meters/a dozen miles away (???).
The villagers no longer called her a lady or a girl, but at least called her "lesbian" or "comrade Ye" to her face. Some even believed the increasingly outrageous rumors and followed her around.
Ye Yu was not a sociable person, so even if she was curious, no one would come to inquire about the affairs of other educated youth, so her ears would be left in peace. She knew that some people were talking behind her back, but what did it have to do with her?
I got 20 kilograms of food for free√.
Ye Yu just felt that the weather today was really good. The mountain village after the rain was filled with the fragrance of earth.
Work is also very energetic.
The cooperation with Sister Guihua was also perfect, and their respective work points were the highest 10 points.
Sister Guihua felt that she was simply working for nothing. She felt embarrassed but also grateful. She just wanted to quickly weave what Ye Zhiqing needed.
Sister Guihua also heard about what happened on the way to work. She naturally stood on Ye Yu's side, but she was still worried about Ye Yu. "A harsh word can hurt people even in the middle of summer," she only understood this saying deeply after her husband passed away.
Ye Yu, who lives a free and unrestrained life, has become the person she envies and admires the most.
Although the drizzle today was not heavy, it did not stop. In addition, all the fields had been plowed, so we got off work earlier in the afternoon than yesterday.
Ye Yu went to Wang Laoer's house and brought back 20 kilograms of food to the educated youth site.
As expected, the twenty kilograms of food were all sweet potatoes, but she didn't complain at all. She thought it would be nice if there were more of such good things. Unfortunately, Wang Laoer seemed to be scared to death. When she went to his house, he hid in the house and didn't come out, so she couldn't take advantage of him anymore.
Was that a bit heavy? But she didn't even use one tenth of her strength! The fact that Wang Lao Er didn't have any obvious sequelae is proof of that.
"Oh, that's a pity."
Ye Yu placed the sweet potatoes in the kitchen, returned to the room, took out some gifts mainly prepared by Wang Lai Di, put them in a backpack, and carried them to visit relatives.
