Chapter 35 We Must Have an Explanation
Liu Xiaocui sighed twice and said, "You really can't judge a person by appearance. I didn't expect Ruoting to be such an expert at raising chickens."
In fact, many old people know that there are different types of people who raise livestock and poultry in the village. For example, every year when the village catches pigs, they look for people who have the best appetite and the strongest physique. It is said that in this way, the pigs caught are not only good to eat but also easy to raise.
The same is true for raising chickens. Some people don’t need to take good care of them, and the chickens will lay eggs regularly. On the contrary, no matter how carefully they are raised, the chickens will not lay eggs.
Therefore, Liu Xiaocui believes that Shang Ruoting is the person suitable for raising chickens.
Before Shang Ruoting sent these eggs, Zou Meihua was recognized as an expert in chicken farming in the village. As a result, today she came to take credit but failed, and was slapped in the face by Shang Ruoting.
Deputy Captain Wang looked at the eggs from the side.
"Ruoting, from now on, the job of raising the chicken coop will be handed over to you. I won't give it to anyone else."
Shang Ruoting did not refuse. After all, it would only be a few months before the turmoil ended. By then, the distribution of production to each household would be implemented, and her job would be completely over. Judging from the current situation, being a breeder in the production team was not bad.
"Okay, I'll follow Vice Captain Wang's instructions."
Logically speaking, she should take advantage of Deputy Captain Wang's good mood and suggest giving her more work points as an award.
However, she had a more important matter to deal with this time, which was to talk about the incident in which Zhang Lanxiang injured Old Lady Shang.
After weighing the pros and cons of both, Shang Ruoting decided to put the matter of rewarding processing points aside for the time being, leaving a good impression on Deputy Captain Wang so that she could better resolve the issue of Old Lady Shang.
As for the reward issue, she didn't believe it. She was going to send so many eggs tomorrow. If she mentioned this, would Deputy Captain Wang refuse?
Taking advantage of Vice Captain Wang's happiness, Shang Ruoting spoke directly.
"Deputy Captain Wang, you've heard about how my grandma was beaten by Zhang Lanxiang yesterday, right?"
Deputy Captain Wang glanced at her and said, "Why? Aren't you going to ask the captain for help with this matter?"
Shang Ruoting really didn't know what difference it made which captain she asked to solve this problem.
She was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
Liu Xiaocui on the side reminded.
"Ruoting, I'm afraid you don't understand the village rules. Deputy Captain Wang is mainly responsible for production, and the team leader is responsible for the size of the entire team."
Shang Ruoting understood now.
"In that case, I still need to consult the captain about this matter, right?"
Deputy Captain Wang had a much better impression of Shang Ruoting because of these high-yield eggs.
"Although it's not convenient for me to deal with it directly, I can accompany you to find the captain, and it's no problem for me to say a few words for you then."
Shang Ruoting quickly thanked him, "Then I'll trouble you, Vice Captain Wang."
Deputy Captain Wang stood up and said, "Let's go find the captain now."
He was tall and walked fast, and Shang Ruoting jogged behind him.
The two of them soon arrived at the production team office, where Zhao Fa was walking out.
"Captain, if you're not busy right now, let's talk about how Li Rulan was injured by Zhang Lanxiang."
Deputy Captain Wang was fat and blocked Zhao Fa's way like a wall.
Zhao Fa paused, first glanced at Deputy Captain Wang who still had a smile on his face, and then looked at Shang Ruoting behind him.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Did Deputy Captain Wang take the wrong medicine today?
Someone who never bothered to meddle in other people's business actually took the initiative to take care of this matter today...
His first thought was that Vice Captain Wang was targeting Shang Ruoting.
However, he hasn't seen any clues yet, and it's not easy to say it out loud. He just wants to find an opportunity to remind her later.
Shang Ruoting didn't know that Zhao Fa had wrong ideas. She stepped forward gracefully and spoke in a very respectful tone.
"Captain, my grandmother was injured by Zhang Lanxiang with a shovel. We must get an explanation for this matter."
Zhao Fa nodded and turned
Turn around and walk back.
"Come in, and tell me how you plan to deal with this."
Shang Ruoting followed the two captains into the office and waited until they were seated before expressing her thoughts.
"Captain, yesterday Zhang Lanxiang came to me angrily with a shovel, saying I bullied her family and wanted to settle the score with me."
"If my grandma hadn't stepped in to stop me, that shovel would have hit me on the head."
"You saw my grandma's condition yesterday. She spent 16 yuan on treatment at the county hospital."
"Besides that, her clothes were torn and unwearable. Tan Chen and Lin Erniu went to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning to buy them."
"Also, my grandma is injured and can't work. It costs money to recover. Zhang Lanxiang will be responsible for all of this."
Zhao Fa listened carefully: "Well, besides these, do you have any other requirements?"
Shang Ruoting took a deep breath and said, "Also, besides compensating my grandmother for her losses, Zhang Lanxiang committed intentional injury after all. I plan to report the case to the police station."
In fact, Shang Ruoting said that going to the police station to report the case was also to put pressure on Zhao Fa.
At this time, if someone in the village committed a crime and went to the police station, the collective honor would be tarnished. If it was not a very serious problem, they would ask the team leader to mediate and did not want the matter to be brought to the police station.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Fa became a little anxious.
"Just ask Zhang Lanxiang to pay more compensation. You two are relatives and live in the same village. There's no need to make a big deal out of this."
"The captain is right, Ruoting, you should ask for more compensation, the more the better. The captain and I will take care of this matter for you." Deputy Captain Wang took the opportunity to intervene.
On the surface, he was helping Zhao Fa to persuade Shang Ruoting not to make a big deal out of the matter, but in reality he was also encouraging Zhao Fa to agree to ask for more compensation from Old Lady Shang.
