Chapter 107 This group is finished
As for what had happened earlier, Qian Sun and the others didn't ask, but just looked at the captain.
Upon seeing the new and old educated youth meet, the brigade leader waved his hand dismissively: "Since Qian Sun and you're here, take this group with you. They'll go to work as usual tomorrow. They said they want me to treat them fairly, and I will treat them fairly. Alright, you can go back now. Tell them about any taboos in the production team. I don't want the past to repeat itself in the production team." He was too lazy to look at this group now; it was better to get rid of them.
Qian Sun quickly replied, "Don't worry, Captain, I'll talk to them."
As for the new comrade who still wanted to say something, he was pulled back and ultimately suppressed his thoughts of resistance.
"Then, Captain, I'll take them to make arrangements first." There are still plenty of places at the educated youth settlement; there's room for these six people.
"Okay, you can go ahead first."
"Captain, we're leaving now." Qian, Sun, and the other two said goodbye in a very amicable manner, and also smiled as they said goodbye to Xiao Taohua.
Little Peach Blossom stood still and waved her hand, curiously watching the backs of the group of people. She wondered why they seemed to be angry.
However, after enjoying the excitement, she lost interest and went back to the rice paddies with her friends. She wanted to continue catching fish so they could have grilled fish for dinner.
Thinking of the fragrant grilled fish, Little Peach Blossom raised her little fist with great enthusiasm!
Unlike her carefree friends, the adults were quite angry for a while, but when they saw the still happy Peach Blossom, they felt it wasn't worth getting angry with those sullen kids. In the end, they finally calmed down, but they secretly decided to stay away from them in the future.
Anyway, those people definitely won't get any good things!
The six people who went to the educated youth settlement with Qian Sun and the others all had stern faces. After they settled down at the settlement, Zheng Fenghua was the first to lose her temper: "Are you often bullied by the people here?"
Qian Sun glanced at him casually: "What kind of bullying are you talking about? Is it hitting you, scolding you, or targeting you all the time?"
"No, what you're saying sounds rather sarcastic."
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Shi Ke said, "It's not that we're being sarcastic, but we should ask you why you're arguing with the production team on your very first day here. You're not young anymore, and you're acting so arrogantly in front of the locals on someone else's land. Do you think anyone with a brain would do that?"
Even children know that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, but these people are doing it with such righteous indignation and without any fear.
"Very well," the other six people looked away, their expressions somewhat unnatural.
They understand, and they know this is wrong.
"Comrade Zheng Fenghua couldn't help but speak up because they were being too overbearing," Wu Xiuxiu said.
Shi Ke looked at Wu Xiuxiu: "Your name is Wu Xiuxiu?"
"Yes, my name is Wu Xiuxiu."
"Do you know that before you came, there were actually five educated youths in our educated youth settlement, including the three of us and two female comrades?"
What does that mean?
Everyone looked at Shi Ke.
There's no point in hiding this. If you want these people to avoid making foolish mistakes, it's best to make things clear.
So Shi Ke continued, "The two educated youths are named Li Xiu and Xiao Juying. As for you..." Shi Ke looked at Wu Xiuxiu, "Your name also contains the character 'Xiu' (秀), so you might attract more attention among the educated youths."
"What does this have to do with the character '秀' in my name?"
"It's okay, it's just that your name has the character '秀' in it."
The six people were speechless. Shi Ke wasn't talking about this. He continued, "When Li Xiu and Xiao Juying were here, our relationship with the villagers was alright. Although the villagers complained that we weren't very efficient at working, they would still occasionally ask us how we were doing."
That sounds harmonious, but what happens next?
The six people continued to look at Shi Ke.
Shi Ke gestured to Qian Sun, indicating that he didn't want to talk about this.
Qian Sun didn't want to talk about it, but after thinking for a moment, he spoke up: "Something happened in between. Comrade Li Xiu passed away. At first, we thought it was an accident, but later we found out that Comrade Xiao Juying was also involved. That accident was caused by Comrade Xiao Juying colluding with an outsider." Although he said it simply, one could guess the gist of it.
The women, the men, and then Comrade Li Xiu was gone; the six educated youths looked serious.
Shi Ke looked at the group and said, "So, the people in the production team aren't targeting us. They're just terrified of what happened back then, especially the women. Actually, seeing you women today gave me a jolt, because I was afraid that what happened back then would repeat itself."
Qian Sun nodded in agreement: "Yes, we're saying all this today as a precaution, so you won't do anything underhanded, especially the women, and of course, the men too. Since you've come to Xiaolin Village, just focus on contributing to its development. Don't get involved in or pay attention to anything else. If you have any schemes, it's best not to target the educated youth settlement or the production team, or you'll be punished. Oh, sorry, I misspoke, you can ignore the word 'punished'."
The women exchanged bewildered glances. Were they implicated because of what happened earlier? They paid no attention to Qian Sun's explanation.
It's truly unfair to be implicated like this, but even so, it seems there's nowhere to vent my frustration.
They've already said this is their territory, so what can you do if you feel wronged?
We have no choice but to endure it!
Unless they do something extraordinary or time reveals their true colors and changes the prejudices of the production team members against these women.
"And you guys?"
Qian Sun shrugged: "We're basically invisible in the production team. We're not involved in big or small matters. The people in the production team won't target us, but they won't give us any special treatment either."
"So we'll do the same thing next?" Xiao Jiabing asked.
Qian Sun shook his head: "No, you will be targeted."
"Why?!" the six people asked.
"Because you clashed with the production team today," Qian Sun said, shrugging.
“We didn’t know what happened in the production team, and we thought the other party looked down on the women,” Zhou Fengyu explained.
"But it's no use. You said it, and you were so self-righteous. More importantly, you demanded fairness and justice. The brigade leader will definitely be happy to treat you fairly and justly, because it was your own request."
The six people who unexpectedly shot themselves in the foot: ...
"Of course, none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is..."
What is it?
Everyone looked at Qian Sun expectantly.
However, it was Yang Jianbing who said this: "The most important thing is that you pulled out Little Peach Blossom."
Yang Jianbing arrived earlier than Qian Sun and Shi Ke, but he didn't go in; he just watched these newcomers courting disaster.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, and Yang Jianbing, who stood up for Li Xiu, has really changed a lot in the past two years.
On the way back to the educated youth settlement, Yang Jianbing quietly told Qian Sun and Shi Ke what had happened. At that moment, the two of them had only one thought in their minds: this group of people is finished.
