"Ouch, it hurts so much! My leg is broken. Gu Changfeng, you bully, how could you hit a woman?"
Zhao Meimei lay on the ground, unable to get up, tears streaming down her face from the pain.
Did she also become disabled?
"So what if she's a woman? If she dares to bully my wife, I'll beat her up without hesitation."
Let alone women, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be allowed to bully his wife.
He had already suffered enough from women when he was still a greenhorn.
If he truly couldn't bring himself to sleep with women, he would have been killed dozens of times by women disguised as spies.
"Gu Changfeng, Ruan Qiushui, what right do you have to make the brigade leader remove my father from his position as accountant?"
“You are abusing your private power. I’m going to report you to the commune.”
If Zhao Meimei hadn't been upset at home, she wouldn't have come to the Gu family's door to vent her anger.
That morning, she even went home to complain and discuss with her father how to get revenge on Gu Changfeng's family. But before the plan could even be implemented, her father lost his accountant position.
"Zhao Meimei, please wake up! Go ask the members of the brigade, is there anyone who is satisfied with your father? Go ask the leaders of the commune, is there anyone who recognizes your father's abilities?"
They made a huge mess, and every time it was Gu Xianjin who had to swallow his pride and clean it up.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Desheng's father was Grandpa Gu's childhood friend, everyone would spit on him when they met.
Now you're saying they abused their power? Ha! They were clearly just following the will of the people; even the commune leaders had to say hello when they came.
No, that's impossible.
Zhao Meimei didn't believe it.
“My dad is meticulous and responsible in his work. He hasn’t made any major mistakes all these years. Who would dare to complain?”
The Zhao family was used to swaggering around in the brigade and held the lifeblood of the commune members in their hands. Who would dare to say a harsh word to them?
Although she heard some bad rumors, nothing happened in the end, right?
"The matter is settled, and there's no point in saying anything more. You should just let your father go back to work in the fields."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and get lost."
Gu Changfeng was too lazy to waste time talking to her; he'd rather spend his time being affectionate with his wife.
"By the way, if your family dares to seek revenge because of this, then be prepared to bear all the consequences."
He can get hurt, but his wife and family can't.
Let's go.
Ruan Qiushui didn't even glance at Zhao Meimei, and pulled Gu Changfeng inside.
"The third son's wife is back, and why is she carrying a basket of eggs?"
Xie Xiuying was cooking in the kitchen when she saw Ruan Qiushui walk in, and she was a little curious.
"This was given to me by Aunt Luo."
Everyone in the family knew that Aunt Luo had brought Luo Cheng to see her for treatment.
"No wonder."
This morning, while she was working in the fields, she heard Old Mrs. Luo talking about how much better her son's leg was, and how she kept praising her for finding such a good daughter-in-law.
"Mom, please cook these eggs tonight, so everyone can get some extra nutrition."
Twelve eggs, just enough for one person in the family.
"This won't do, it was given to you by Old Lady Luo."
She can't possibly covet her daughter-in-law's things.
"Besides, we're only eating eggs at noon."
For lunch, I made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but I used two eggs.
"Mother, please listen to me."
Health is the foundation of everything. My family members don't seem to be in good health, so we need to make sure they eat well.
I wonder if we've run out of meat at home. Maybe I'll have to pretend to go to town again.
…
The next morning, thinking that her grandparents and parents should have arrived in Beijing safely, Ruan Qiushui quickly went to the brigade office to make a phone call.
Hello? Who are you looking for?
The phone call was answered by Shen Yongjun's bodyguard.
"Hello, I am Ruan Qiushui. Please help me find Mr. Shen Yongjun."
Ruan Qiushui gripped the microphone tightly as she answered.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing that it was Ruan Qiushui, the guard quickly went to fetch the old man.
"My dear granddaughter, did you miss Grandpa? I started missing you as soon as I got on the train."
"Step aside, let me say a few words to my dear granddaughter."
Liu Sanmei snatched the phone away.
"My dear granddaughter, what's wrong? Did that brat Gu Changfeng bully you?"
Liu Sanmei wished she could crawl onto the other end of the phone to check on her beloved granddaughter.
"Grandma, Gu Changfeng didn't bully me. I called today because I wanted you and Grandpa to help me find some review materials."
Ruan Qiushui told Liu Sanmei the types and names of the books.
"Okay, Grandma will send it to you once she finds it."
This is the first thing her beloved granddaughter asked her to do, so she has to do it perfectly.
"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa."
…
Liu Sanmei and Shen Yongjun took turns talking to Ruan Qiushui for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Ruan Qiushui paid the phone bill and, thinking about the accounting selection being held at the dam today, hurried off to join the commotion.
"My God, are people not going to work anymore?"
Looking at the number of people in front of him, Gu Xianjin estimated that about one-fifth of the entire brigade was here.
"Don't push, line up."
The militiamen maintained order, but even shouting until their voices were hoarse was of no use.
"Quiet down, everyone."
Gu Xianjin stood on a stool, holding a megaphone.
"Those who are just watching, get to work now. Only those who meet the requirements can stay and participate in the assessment."
"Wang Ergou, Liu Sanpang..."
"You lot can't even read, what are you doing here?"
“We all know each other well, so don’t try to joke around. Anyone who can’t read or do basic addition and subtraction within 100, go back home.”
If you don't even meet the basic requirements, what are you doing standing here? Are you just wasting test strips?
"Hurry up. Don't try to stay here shamelessly. You can't pass the exam anyway. Get to the fields and earn work points. Do as much as you can."
Gu Xianjin used a megaphone to shout repeatedly, and finally managed to drive away more than half of the people, leaving less than thirty, including the educated youth from the educated youth settlement.
"Hey, Zhao Defa, you still have the nerve to come and take the accounting exam?"
"Look, not only is he here, but Zhao Meimei is inside too."
Those who didn't meet the requirements didn't go too far. When they saw that Accountant Zhao and Zhao Meimei were among the remaining people, they started to make sarcastic remarks.
That idiot accountant Zhao has understated their work points, causing them to receive far less grain.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I be too ashamed to come? What aspect of me does I not meet the requirements?"
Zhao Defa's face turned red and his neck thickened as he joined the argument with the others.
"Alright, everyone should be treated equally in the accounting exam, so please stop arguing."
"Alright, the next people will begin their assessments."
Gu Xianjin waved his hand and ordered the militia to distribute the test papers to them.
"Oh dear, this question is so difficult, I can't understand it at all."
"Should we perform addition or multiplication first?"
"Should we subtract everything in parentheses as well?"
The crowd made a commotion, looking up and around to see if their answers matched.
