After hearing what Zhao Haiyang said, Qiao Xifeng returned to her parents' home happily.
It is said that people feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Qiao Xifeng thought that she would get a job soon, and she was so excited that she forgot everything else and was not afraid to walk alone at night.
It’s okay to walk near the staff dormitory, as there are always people passing by in groups of three or four.
But when they left the farm and walked towards the village below, it was pitch black and they couldn't see their hands in front of them. Qiao Xifeng began to get scared.
"Damn Zhao Haiyang, he dared to let me go alone in such a dark day. He really wasn't afraid that anything would happen to me..."
The more Qiao Xifeng thought about it, the more frightened she became. She trembled when she thought of the corpse dumping, robbery, and murder of women she had seen on TV in her previous life.
As he walked, he cursed Zhao Haiyang, resenting his big heart. In fact, it was not Zhao Haiyang who was big hearted, he just hoped that something would happen to Qiao Xifeng.
Even if it wasn't a robbery or being molested, it would ruin Qiao Xifeng's reputation. It would be great if Qiao Xifeng lost her life because someone took advantage of her.
The farm office would certainly compensate him to keep things quiet. Then he could go to college with the money and find a good female classmate in college.
Zhao Haiyang happily dreamed of marrying a female college student at home. Little did he know that Qiao Xifeng was not as unlucky as he had hoped. Not long after she left the farm, she ran into her eldest cousin Qiao Zhenguo who was returning home from get off work.
During the period when Qiao Changfu was suspended from his job and was reflecting on his actions, Qiao Zhenguo had been acting as his father's agent. The so-called agent was nothing more than conveying his father's intentions and acting as his father's informant.
Qiao Zhenguo was still upset about his father being suspended from his job because of the second wife's involvement, and when he met Qiao Xifeng, he was too lazy to say a word.
But Qiao Zhenguo didn't dare to leave Qiao Xifeng alone on the dark country road. If she got scared by a stray dog, his second aunt would blame him for not taking care of his sister, given her temper.
In this way, Qiao Zhenguo slowed down his pace and walked into the village one after another with Qiao Xifeng.
After seeing Qiao Xifeng enter the courtyard of the second room, Qiao Zhenguo turned around and went to the main room.
"Dad, I'm back."
There were two kerosene lamps on the table in the main room of the Qiao family. The whole family of the eldest wife gathered on the kang, chatting and doing their work.
When everyone saw Qiao Zhenguo coming off work, they all looked up and greeted him with a smile.
Qiao Changfu held a pipe in his mouth, twisting the hemp rope with his big hands without even raising his head. "Well, is there anything going on in the field today?"
"Everything is normal in the farm. This winter seems to be much quieter than in previous years. There is not much work to do."
Qiao Zhenguo walked into the house and walked to his father's side. He pulled over a stool and sat on it. He grabbed a handful of hemp rope from the basket in front of him and started to twist the rope.
"No work?"
Qiao Changfu sneered disdainfully, and the pipe in his mouth shook.
"The document from above requires us to build a water conservancy project. Last year, the army took the lead and completed half of it. The rest will be done by us. I estimate that it will only take the next two days."
Qiao Zhenguo looked at his father in surprise. He went to the field office every day, but he hadn't heard any news at all.
Qiao Changfu looked at his son's surprised expression and smiled smugly: "Do you think your father has been the director for so many years in vain?"
Qiao Zhenguo looked ashamed, "Dad is really awesome. I haven't even heard of him at the site. I'm useless. I've worked with Dad for so many years, but I haven't made any progress at all."
The Qiao family's house was quiet. No one dared to speak at this time. Everyone pretended to be busy and struggled with the work in their hands.
"It is useless to teach others with a hundred words, but teaching by experience can make people learn from their heart once and for all!" Qiao Changfu did not scold his son as usual. Instead, he patted his shoulder earnestly.
"When I was by your side before, you watched more than you did, and there were many things I didn't expect. This suspension is a good opportunity for me to reflect on my actions. You need to grow up quickly during this time."
"Well, I will definitely not let you down."
Qiao Zhenguo nodded vigorously, as if trying hard to prove himself.
"Come on, big brother. I believe you are better than Zhao Haiyang. You have to beat Zhao Haiyang hard this time!"
Qiao Danfeng is the youngest child in the family, and Qiao Changfu is usually very indulgent towards this daughter.
Everyone was afraid to speak when they saw the father and son talking about serious matters, except Qiao Danfeng who dared to interrupt.
"Don't worry, I will definitely surpass Zhao Haiyang."
Qiao Xifeng caused trouble repeatedly, which not only caused Qiao Changfu to be suspended from his job, but also made him feel uncomfortable and gave up the opportunity to go to college that belonged to Qiao Zhenguo to Zhao Haiyang.
Not to mention the eldest wife of the Qiao family, even Old Master Qiao, who was paralyzed on the kang, was very angry.
Now, there is no one in the first house who doesn’t hate Zhao Haiyang.
Qiao Zhenguo himself felt very aggrieved. He was the eldest son and grandson of the Qiao family. How could he be bullied by a son-in-law from another family?
But this was something his father had promised, and he felt sad, but dared not say anything.
"Don't worry, son. You are my eldest son, and I will never let you suffer any injustice. Let's put the matter of going to college on hold for now. I have plenty of ways to deal with Zhao Haiyang."
A gleam of light flashed in Qiao Changfu's eyes, and Qiao Zhenguo immediately felt safe. Looking at his father's expression, he knew that the thunder that would strike Zhao Haiyang was on the way.
When mentioning Zhao Haiyang, Qiao Zhenguo slapped his forehead.
"I was so busy chatting with you guys that I almost forgot one thing."
Qiao Zhenguo told his father that on his way home from get off work, he happened to meet Qiao Xifeng returning to the village alone.
"How dare Qiao Xifeng come back in the dark? Without even a flashlight?"
Mother Qiao found it incredible. "Zhao Haiyang hasn't finished get off work yet, has he? He is always careful in his work, and he is not afraid that Xifeng will get into trouble on the road."
Qiao Danfeng curled her lips and said sarcastically, "She has ended up digging manure. What can go wrong? It's just that it's cold in the winter. It would be better if she could dig manure in the summer. Haha, the stink can spread two miles even in the wind."
Qiao Zhenguo smiled and tapped his sister on the forehead, then dotingly said, "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."
Qiao Danfeng pouted unhappily. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Qiao Changfu ask again, "You're going back to your parents' home so late. It must be something important."
"Is she carrying anything? Or is there something new happening in the field office that you haven't noticed?"
Qiao Changfu knew that Zhao Haiyang was smarter than his son. He was a smooth and sophisticated person who would not do anything without profit. If he asked his wife to go back to her parents' home late at night, it was either because they were quarreling or because he wanted her to go back to her parents' home to do something.
Qiao Zhenguo thought for a long time and said, "He carried an empty basket and said he was going home to get some bamboo shoots."
"Hahahaha, go back to my mother's house to fetch bamboo baskets. This couple is so lazy that they even have to go back to my mother's house to fetch bamboo baskets for burning the fire."
Qiao Danfeng held her stomach and laughed out loud, and Qiao Changfu and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, one more thing."
Qiao Zhenguo slapped his forehead again and said, "Next to the tailor shop at the site, there is a society called Sisters Mutual Aid Society. A new sign was hung today and I saw it said Sisters, so I didn't ask about it."
