"Mom, we would have done the same thing even if you didn't tell us. Guoqiang is where he is today thanks to my second brother's help. We all remember that."
Pei Guoqiang said this sincerely and really did it.
"Mom, Fourth Brother, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to take special care of us mother and son. I'm capable now, and Xiaofan is sensible and obedient. Things will only get better in the future."
Li Miaomiao still has some backbone in her bones. Besides, when Pei Guoqiang comes back, there is really no need to owe him a favor.
Pei Guoqiang looked at Li Miaomiao with some surprise. She was a woman with backbone. A woman could support a family with a child and live a good life. He had never thought that Li Miaomiao could do this.
When Mrs. Pei saw Li Miaomiao like this, she sighed in her heart. The fourth son's wife is really different now.
Li Miaomiao was riding a bicycle with Old Mrs. Pei on the way back when she met several teams of people wearing uniforms and red armbands. She deliberately glanced at them.
When she returned to the village, Li Miaomiao learned that something had happened again in the village today.
Accountant Wu had been keeping silent before, but now that he has been found out, he decided to stand out in the open and confront Zhang Degen.
"Miaomiao, I know you have a good relationship with the village chief's family, but this is not something we can get involved in. Accountant Wu is up to something. You young people are no match for him. Let the Zhang family fight him. Zhang Degen has been the village chief for many years, but he is not as kind as he appears."
Li Miaomiao listened to what Old Lady Pei said. Her mother-in-law seemed to be someone who knew what was going on.
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what's going on and won't get involved. But Accountant Wu doesn't seem like a good person. I've offended him in the past, so he might take revenge. You and Dad should be more cautious to prevent him from doing anything bad."
Because of what Li Miaomiao did in the past, Old Mrs. Pei felt that she was not the same person as the Li Miaomiao of today.
"You have a point. We all need to be on guard to avoid falling into his trap."
Not long after Li Miaomiao arrived home, Zhang Degen and Wang Chunhua came over together, carrying a lot of things in their hands. It was obvious that they came to express their gratitude.
"Uncle Degen, Auntie, why are you still so polite? Come in and sit down!"
"Miaomiao, you've done a great job cleaning here."
When Wang Chunhua came in, he saw that the vegetables grown in Li Miaomiao's yard were neatly arranged and praised her.
"I just cleaned it up casually. Life still has to go on. I can grow some vegetables at home so I don't have to go to my mother-in-law's house to pick them all the time. It's not good either."
"That's right. Your yard is suitable for growing vegetables, but I have to remind you that your private plot can only be this big at most. Otherwise, people will gossip about you, and then you can invite those people over."
"Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I won't embarrass Uncle Degen."
When they got to the house, Li Miaomiao made two cups of sugar water for Zhang Degen and Wang Chunhua.
"Miaomiao, don't be so polite. Your uncle and I came here specially to express our gratitude. It was thanks to you that we helped you last time. Otherwise, your uncle would have been in great danger."
"Aunt, Uncle Degen takes care of me so much, so it's only natural for him to do that. Don't take it to heart."
It was all just polite talk, and Li Miaomiao felt a little tired. As they were talking, Wang Chunhua changed the subject: "Because of this, your uncle has had a hard time too. He was originally so devoted to the village, but he never knew Accountant Zhang would have such thoughts."
Hearing this, Li Miaomiao's thoughts changed, but the expression on her face didn't change much. "Uncle Degen is a good captain. We are all convinced. We all see what Uncle Degen has done for the village."
"When you put it that way, I feel much better. Tell me why your uncle works so hard, and yet some people don't appreciate it. Sometimes I get angry and I advise your uncle to step down from this position."
"Aunt, you're just saying this out of anger. Uncle Degen is doing a good job, why would he step down? I think Accountant Wu just got carried away for a moment, and that's why he's going against Uncle. He'll figure it out eventually."
Wang Chunhua looked a little embarrassed when he heard what Li Miaomiao said. He didn't expect Li Miaomiao to be so patient. Having said that, it was impossible for Li Miaomiao to act like before and go to blame Accountant Wu.
"I hope it's the same as you said, otherwise your uncle will be very disappointed. In the past, your uncle was very good to Accountant Wu."
Li Miaomiao refused to respond to Wang Chunhua's question and evaded the main point, saying, "Uncle Degen is a kind and righteous man. If Accountant Wu is a sensible person, he should wake up and stop causing trouble. Otherwise, it will be bad for our village's reputation."
"Guoan's wife, I'll be straight to the point. Do you have any good ideas? Although Accountant Wu's work is not authentic, he is right in saying that everyone in our village is having a hard time right now. If there is any way to make life better for the village, I would even give him my position as team leader."
Zhang Degen was at a loss as to what to do. Thinking of what Li Miaomiao had said before, he felt that Li Miaomiao was not saying nothing.
Li Miaomiao was speechless. She was the fastest at the time, but she didn't expect Zhang Degen still remembered this.
But thinking about the days passing by, maybe it's time to take this opportunity to make some arrangements. After all, you can't just go to the provincial capital whenever you want, there has to be a reason.
"Uncle Degen, there is a way, but I need to think about it carefully."
Zhang Degen's eyes lit up when he heard Li Miaomiao say this
"Guoan wife, what do you have in mind?"
"Uncle Degen, this is the soap I made. Take it back and use it. As for the other things, we can talk about it later."
Li Miaomiao felt that this was an opportunity, which would save her the trouble of finding excuses in the future, but the deadline for the task was still a long time, so she put it off for the time being.
"Ding, random mission. The host will provide the village chief with a soap-making method and help him open a soap workshop, leading the entire village to prosperity and a good life. Completing the mission will reward you with 10,000 survival points."
The system is really generous in rewarding 10,000 survival points, but this task is really troublesome.
"Did you make this soap?"
The village chief looked at Li Miaomiao in surprise
"It's not that I can't afford it, I just figured it out for a while and actually figured out how to make soap."
Li Miaomiao found a very far-fetched reason, but she did know how to make soap, so that wasn't a problem.
"Wow, this is amazing, Miaomiao. How come you're so smart that you can even figure out how to make soap."
Wang Chunhua looked at the square soap on the table. She didn't mind its ugly shape. She picked up the soap and smelled it. She smelled a very pleasant floral scent. Her face was full of disbelief, but she didn't doubt Li Miaomiao's words at all. She just thought that people who have read books are different.
