Seeing everyone pulling weeds, he was a little confused. "I didn't tell them to..."
Before he could finish speaking, his face darkened. There was nothing he didn't understand.
When Sister Miao saw her husband arrive, he was pushing a cart with two and a half sacks of grain. She stood up and said, "You're done working? That's perfect. Could you help me repair the roof at my sister's house?"
Village Chief Li was even more puzzled upon hearing this, but he understood what was going on. Stepping into the house and looking up at the scattered lights on the roof, Village Chief Li was truly furious, and his breathing became rapid.
He walked out with a resentful look on his face. Seeing Tang Shengkai, he felt a little embarrassed and turned to Old Man Li, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry. It just rained a couple of days ago, and the weeds in the cornfields and cotton fields have all grown too tall. I've been busy with the work in the fields these past few days, and the people I arranged here..."
Tang Shengkai was quite shrewd. Seeing that Sister Miao was speaking hesitantly and that Village Chief Li was acting this way, he figured that this person was either difficult to deal with or had a close relationship with them.
Before Old Li could answer, Tang Shengkai spoke first.
"It's alright, village chief. Sister Miao said she has some straw at home. I'd appreciate it if Brother Li could come home with me and bring some over. I've repaired roofs before when I was in my hometown, so I can finish laying it in no time. It's no problem."
Village Chief Li sighed one last time, "Children, I'm so sorry. Don't worry about it anymore, I'll get to the bottom of this for you."
Aunt Miao quickly chimed in, "Third Uncle, let's just forget about it. Let Qingyang and Brother Tang handle it together. If you go to them again, it might be fine for you, but if they get upset, they might cause trouble for your whole family."
This young man is going to join the army in a few days. He'll have elderly parents and young children at home then, and there's not much he can do about it.
Village Chief Li was furious. He shouldn't have believed their lies in the first place. He earned work points, but they didn't even do the work properly. What kind of people are they?
"Wow, they've already started fighting. I was just saying I was the first one here."
A woman carrying a basket came over from outside the door.
"Hey, Reiko's here, come over here quickly."
A woman named Lingzi came over, and Sister Miao introduced her to everyone, "This is Lu Anjie's daughter, Ding Lingzi. Lingzi, how old are you? Let's see who's older."
"I'm 28, and my husband is 29."
"Oh." After agreeing, Sister Miao looked at Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui. Lin Cuicui smiled, "Then we have to call her sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, I am Lin Cuicui. My husband, Tang Shengkai, is 29 years old this year. This is my father, and those are my children."
"Hey, hey, sister-in-law, look, we've gained another brother."
Ding Lingzi laughed and joked with Sister Miao.
"That's right, I could tell they were nice people at first glance, so I came over to help."
Ding Lingzi put down her basket, rolled up her sleeves, and got to work. While working, she asked in confusion, "Didn't Li Qingzhu and the others take care of this house? They earn 10 work points a day, so why haven't they pulled the weeds in the yard?"
