Chapter 151 I have something to tell you
The leader of the red team looked at Zhao Fa and let go of Zhao Dongsheng with some displeasure.
"Hmph! I'll let you off this once today for the sake of your captain. Go back and reflect on your actions."
Zhao Dongsheng was still a little unconvinced and wanted to continue reasoning, but a man behind him who was about the same age as him covered his mouth with his hand.
"Dongsheng, follow the instructions."
Zhao Dongsheng closed his mouth reluctantly.
Zhao Fa saw that his intercession had worked, so he waved his hand at Zhao Dongsheng and the others and said, "Go back to work, and don't cause any more trouble."
Everyone knew that Zhao Fa was helping them, so they dragged Zhao Dongsheng away with them.
The onlookers dispersed and each found their close friends to whisper to.
"This Zhao Dongsheng is really something. How many times has he suffered because of his stubbornness?"
"Sigh...it's not entirely his fault. Writing a letter to one's parents is only natural. It's a shame that he always gets targeted by those people."
"There's nothing I can do. Look at that group of people. Some of them used to be officials, some were professors and doctors. They were all high-level intellectuals. How could they not have some pride?"
Shang Ruoting listened to everyone's discussion and also searched for the original owner's memories of those people.
Zhao Dongsheng and his group were all sent down to Sihe Village in the past ten years. Regardless of their family background, which one of them was not a respected leader?
But now, due to a turmoil, it has fallen to this point.
In the early years, more intellectuals were sent here. Some of them have returned to the city. Now there are seven people left, including Zhao Dongsheng.
Most of them haven't left here yet, because their families are unable to help them, and some are like Zhao Dongsheng, who are firm in their beliefs and refuse to admit their mistakes.
Now, these seven people have lost hope for the future. They spend their days like zombies, doing dirty and tiring work that others don't want to do, and eating leftover meals in the production team's canteen.
If there is little food left in the cafeteria, they may not have enough to eat.
Although they have given up on themselves, Shang Ruoting knows best that it won't be long before they return to the city and to their once enviable jobs.
At the same time, she also felt a little sympathy for these people.
She shook her head helplessly and continued pushing the cart towards the production team.
720 eggs were put into storage. Shang Ruoting planned to go and see the new house and talk to Tan Chen about Shang Ruolan's sudden kindness to Old Lady Shang.
As soon as she reached the center of the village, she saw Shang Ruolan, dressed neatly and carrying a cross-body cloth bag, walking towards the village entrance.
Looking at her outfit, Shang Ruoting subconsciously thought that she was planning to go to the city.
She looked at her watch and it was already 3:40 in the afternoon. It was impossible for her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the town to buy things at this time. Even if she went there, they would be closed.
From this point of view, her biggest possibility is to go to Shang Ruonan's house. After all, when the original owner was in the Shang family, Shang Ruolan would occasionally go to the city to find Shang Ruonan, and basically every time she went there, she would discuss things with that eldest sister.
If this is true, Shang Ruoting feels more and more that there is a big conspiracy behind Shang Ruolan's kindness to Old Lady Shang today.
It was impossible for her to follow Shang Ruolian into the city, so she could only quicken her pace to find Tan Chen and ask him to help analyze the matter.
Tan Chen was watching a carpenter making furniture at the moment. Seeing Shang Ruoting coming to him at this time, he thought that something must have happened, so he hurried over to meet her.
Shang Ruoting parked the cart aside and pulled Tan Chen to a more secluded place.
Looking at her anxious look, Tan Chen couldn't help but teasing: "Wife, do you miss me?"
"It's not even dark yet..."
Shang Ruoting was now preoccupied with Shang Ruolian's affairs and was in no mood to joke with him. She said seriously, "Stop joking. I have something to tell you."
Seeing this, Tan Chen also became serious: "Wife, you say."
Shang Ruoting recounted what happened today when Shang Ruolian went to the chicken coop to see Old Lady Shang, and also told her that she had just seen her leaving the village and might be going to Shang Ruonan's house. At the same time, she also shared her own guesses.
"I now suspect she has some conspiracy. She has always been very opinionated since she was a child. If she didn't find it difficult, she wouldn't have gone to Shang Ruonan."
After hearing this, Tan Chen did not answer immediately. He narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.
After a long while, he asked, "Could it be that grandma has something she wants?"
After hearing this, Shang Ruoting felt as if she had been enlightened. Although she didn't know whether Old Lady Shang had anything in her hand, based on her understanding of this era, those who were labeled as capitalists were mostly landlords and businessmen.
When the original owner was a child, he heard villagers scolding Old Lady Shang as a "black-hearted businessman", which shows that Old Lady Shang's family was originally a business family.
During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, many big businessmen had some secret recipes at home. Could it be that Old Lady Shang had some secret recipe?
Thinking of the secret recipe, Shang Ruoting recalled several scenes of her interactions with Old Lady Shang. She once asked the old lady about the seasoning packet, and she still remembered the evasive look given by Old Lady Shang.
