Chapter 104 I wouldn't do it no matter how much you offered.
Huang Fa swaggered away from He Yunzhi's place, in a very good mood, while He Yunzhi, who had locked the door again, sat down on the ground, feeling utterly helpless.
She didn't know what to do, but she knew that if she didn't do as instructed, she would definitely be in trouble. However, she also knew that even if she did do as instructed, she might not be lucky, because someone else had leverage over her, and that person didn't have a conscience like Sister Juan.
"Waaah..." A sobbing sound came from He Yunzhi's mouth, and then, as if afraid of disturbing something, she covered her mouth and cried silently.
She also felt sorry for Sister Juan. She said earlier that Sister Juan received two hundred, but it was actually only one hundred and fifty. However, at that time, only two hundred was in her mind.
Giving Sister Juan a dowry can be seen as a way of thanking her, but what if we can't take the remaining money with us after the wedding?
Moreover, will she even be able to get married?
He Yunzhi, who was so certain just a moment ago, is now extremely confused.
She didn't even have any way out.
She couldn't believe it. Things were clearly starting to look up, so how could it end up like this? Was she destined to live a life worse than death?!
She didn't understand, nor did she have the courage to fight again. In fact, she was starting to drift along with the tide, thinking, "That's how it is. It's already like this anyway. I'll just go wherever I end up. I have no expectations anymore, and I don't want to have any expectations."
Her life was ruined, completely ruined, and there would never be a day of hope again.
Sitting on the ground in a daze, He Yunzhi was both crying and laughing.
Lin Fengjuan, who had already returned from town, knew nothing about He Yunzhi. She was in a good mood when she got back, and she was full of energy even though she had to start working immediately after arriving at the production team.
Seeing her enthusiasm, someone couldn't help but praise her, saying, "As expected of Comrade Lin Fengjuan, she's really amazing."
"Yes, they're just as efficient as the men when it comes to work."
"I don't know if she knows any other girls. My relatives also want to ask her to introduce them to some."
"Then let's go ask."
"Okay, I'll go ask after I finish work." This person wasn't one to hesitate; he was ready to do it as soon as he thought of it.
The conversation started off lighthearted, but then it somehow drifted back to what happened that morning—or rather, that noon.
"What do you think the brigade leader and the brigade secretary should do next?"
"No matter what we do, it has nothing to do with us."
“What do you mean it doesn’t matter? The person is in our production team right now. If something happens to them, it won’t just affect the whole production team.”
"Nothing will happen. You're overthinking it. Didn't you see Little Peach Blossom? If you ask me, all our previous fears were unnecessary. These people are incredibly lucky to have come to our Xiaolin Village!"
Upon hearing this, the women who had been worried about this and that immediately stopped worrying and burst into laughter: "You're right!"
Someone couldn't help but slap their thigh: "How could I not have thought of that? And Little Peach Blossom is here today. There's no way it could be our Little Forest Village that's going to be unlucky. Haha, I was thinking too much."
"You're just overthinking it."
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it. By the way, do you still have that incense you burn? I've run out of mine. It's so hard to buy incense these days."
"It's easy to buy. There's a family in town that makes incense."
"Is there?"
"Yes, I always buy from them."
"Tell me which company it is right now."
"I said yes, but you absolutely mustn't do anything bad, things are in chaos outside right now."
"Are you looking down on me? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"How could that be? I just wanted to give you an idea beforehand."
The other person rolled their eyes at her: "Fine, I'll let you off the hook."
"Hey, let me tell you..." Then he gave the address: "Knock on the door and you'll get this code word. They won't sell to you without it."
"Yeah, I understand."
The group relaxed completely, and when Xiao Taohua came out to play in the afternoon, they greeted her even more enthusiastically than in the morning. Xiao Taohua waved happily, indicating that they wanted to go into the paddy field to catch fish.
You can't go to the pond, but you can still go to the paddy field.
Some people enthusiastically invited Xiao Taohua to their paddy fields, and some even almost got into a fight over which paddy field Xiao Taohua went to. However, they maintained a very harmonious facade and didn't let Xiao Taohua see the fight.
Because, which paddy field they go to isn't determined by their will, but rather by whichever one Little Peach Blossom likes.
No one knew what day it was, but just as everyone was relaxing again, another mule cart was brought over.
"What's going on this time?" someone asked, watching from a distance in the paddy field.
"Is he still the same person as this morning?"
"It doesn't look like it; the people sitting in the mule cart all seem to be young people."
"Is this another group of educated youth?" To be honest, given past experiences, everyone thinks educated youth are troublesome, especially female educated youth.
"Probably not. Didn't we tell the brigade leader we didn't want any more educated youth? And if someone from above were coming down, the brigade leader would have notified us in advance, right?"
Lin Guangyi, who had completely forgotten about the educated youth movement: ...
He wondered if he had forgotten something today, and lo and behold, it was about this group of educated youth. His head suddenly started to ache.
He had also reported this to his superiors. After the incident with Li Xiu and Xiao Juying, their production team genuinely didn't send any educated youth. But now there were new regulations from above: every family in the city had to send at least one person to be an educated youth. This happened everywhere in China; you couldn't be an exception. Besides, if his place didn't accept people, where else could he send them? Everywhere! Oh, so you're the only exception?
So, no matter how much they pleaded, their production team insisted on taking people in.
But because of what happened in the morning, Lin Guangyi, who was thinking of sending someone to pick him up at noon and informing the villagers, forgot to mention it, and even Lin Aisheng forgot about it.
So, after waiting and waiting for the villagers from Xiaolin Village to come, the commune leader directly ordered the commune members to send over in mule carts.
This can be considered a special treatment for Xiaolin Village; other production teams don't receive this special treatment.
The people on the mule cart were all very silent. Compared to the group of spirited educated youth who had come to Xiaolin Village before, this group of people were utterly dejected. After all, none of them had gone to the countryside voluntarily; many of them were forced to come because their families had to send one of them.
What a coincidence! Everyone who was assigned to Xiaolin Village was forced into it. Isn't that a coincidence?
Back in the commune, a large group of people gathered, and their dejected expressions made the commune members feel frustrated. What a great place it was! But the expressions on their faces made the commune members very angry!
Not only were they very angry, but the commune members, who had initially intended to greet them with smiles, eventually simply pretended not to see them.
Hmph, if you ignore me today, we'll ignore you in the future too. If they could, they'd prefer to move to Xiaolin Village and live right next to Lin Guangsheng's house!
It's a pity that all the land around Lin Guangsheng's house is occupied, and houses have been built all around. No one wants to move, no matter how much money they are offered!
