That night, Du Shouquan knocked on the abandoned railway track in front of the brigade office again, and the team members rushed over after receiving the news.
The humid and hot air was a bit stuffy. The team members were chattering about something, and from time to time they burst into laughter. This continued until all the team members arrived and, under the leadership of Du Shouquan, the meeting finally quieted down.
"Jiang Zhiqing wants to run a pig farm. He called everyone here today to discuss it and see what everyone thinks."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yunshu. Facing their gazes, Jiang Yunshu, who had seen a lot of things, straightened his back and did not show any fear on his face.
"Captain, I disagree. How can a delicate girl from the city like her know how to feed pigs? If she accidentally kills a pig, how will we explain this to the commune?"
Wang Zhaodi was the first to stand up and object. Feeding the pigs was her job. If it was taken away by this little girl, what would she do?
Lin Tianqi, who had a grudge against Jiang Yunshu, also jumped out: "You little girl, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. If you want to play, play by yourself, don't drag us into it.
If we fail to deliver the required pigs by the end of the year, the commune will blame us as well."
The others saw that what the two said made a lot of sense and all opposed Jiang Yunshu's pig farming. However, there were a few exceptions who stood up to support him.
Du Piaoliang said, "My mother, I, and everyone in my family believe that Jiang Zhiqing can raise the pigs well. We support him."
Du Piaoliang's mother, Chen Fengying, was so angry at her daughter's bold words that she wanted to kill herself with a piece of tofu.
But she couldn't refute it. If she dared to say no, her daughter would pack up her things and run away from home without paying any attention to her.
I don't know what kind of love potion this guy surnamed Jiang gave her daughter, which made her so confused. In her daughter's heart, she, as a mother, is not as important as that guy surnamed Jiang.
Chen Fengying hated Jiang Yunshu with a vengeance.
Lin Tianqi hadn't expected anyone to openly contradict him. He narrowed his eyes and threatened, "Chen Fengying, are you sure? If anything goes wrong, you won't be able to escape responsibility."
Panicked, Chen Fengying was about to say that it was not true, but when her daughter called her "mother," she immediately changed her tune:
"I've seen a lot of things, Lin Tianqi, stop exaggerating. What could possibly go wrong feeding pigs? I believe Jiang Zhiqing can definitely take good care of those two pigs in the team."
My daughter, your mother has offended the entire team for you.
Now, Chen Fengying's only wish is that Jiang Yunshu must feed the two old sows well, or at least not feed them to death.
At worst, she would feed the pig, making sure it didn't die.
Lin Tianqi said viciously: "Chen Fengying, you are great. When that day comes, don't regret it."
Chen Fengying, who was already angry, became even more furious when she saw Lin Tianqi threatening her again. She put her hands on her waist and started cursing at Lin Tianqi with her fighting spirit overflowing.
Lin Tianqi was scolded so hard that he couldn't open his mouth. In the end, the captain couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him in time.
Otherwise, with Chen Fengying's fighting ability, she would have cursed from dusk to dawn without stopping.
This was the first time Jiang Yunshu saw Chen Fengying swearing, and it was also the first time she saw her use such harsh words. She immediately looked at Chen Fengying with admiration.
This girl is a role model for our generation. When she has the chance, she will ask Chen Fengying for some advice.
Because to deal with some people, you really have to lose face and scold them before they will behave themselves.
Fearing that the situation would get out of hand and start cursing again, Du Shouquan emphasized again, "I asked you to come here today to discuss pig farming, not to listen to you quarreling. If anyone makes trouble again, you will be cleaning the cowshed tomorrow."
The noisy crowd quieted down a lot, and the number one lackey Wan Xinyu also stood up to support Jiang Yunshu. He even used the melon seeds and White Rabbit milk candies in his pocket to bribe the uncles and aunts around him to support Jiang Yunshu as well.
However, the old men and women who had received the melon seeds and milk candies immediately turned against her, openly standing against Jiang Yunshu and refusing to support her in raising pigs.
This ability to turn against someone made Wan Xinyu so angry that he almost died.
Wang Songshan, on the other hand, surprised Jiang Yunshu a little. However, after seeing the vicious look that flashed across his eyes, Jiang Yunshu immediately understood what he was planning.
Unfortunately, she has the space plug-in, so he is destined to be disappointed.
Wang Zhaodi jumped in again and said, "You educated youth from outside the village are not from our brigade. Your consent is useless."
Wan Xinyu retorted, "We came here from the countryside and are now members of the Red Flag Brigade. Since the captain called us here, it means we have the right to vote. Your words are meaningless."
"Anyway, I don't agree." Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Wang Zhaodi just acted like a rogue.
Wan Xinyu, who had won a rare victory, made a victory gesture towards Jiang Yunshu on the stage. His funny look almost made Jiang Yunshu laugh.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished their discussion, Jiang Yunshu spoke up, "I know everyone is worried that I've never raised pigs before, and if I kill them, it would be hard to tell the public that I'm wrong.
But the two old sows in the pigsty are now so thin that they look like pig skeletons. They won’t eat the pig food and just grunt all day long. If they continue like this, I’m afraid they won’t survive this winter.”
When everyone heard what Jiang Yunshu said, they looked at Wang Zhaodi with frowns.
"Wang Zhaodi, how did you feed the pigs? They were dying, and you didn't even know?"
Wang Zhaodi didn't expect that everyone would come to denounce her. Her brain was a little slow to react for a while. When she came to her senses, she heard the team leader questioning her.
Wang Zhaodi, knowing she couldn't escape today, sat down on the ground and said with tears in her eyes, "I take care of those two pigs in the team like they were my ancestors every day. I'm afraid they're hungry or thirsty. I don't dare go anywhere all day long. I just stay in the pigpen to watch over them.
I don't know why they are getting thinner and thinner. I clearly fed them on time. Captain, even if I don't have any credit, I have worked hard."
When everyone saw that this was true, they were extremely angry. At this rate, they would not be able to get any meat for the New Year, and they would not even have enough pigs to meet the commune's quota.
This Wang Zhaodi has really done a lot of harm to people.
Du Shouquan said sullenly, "From now on, feeding the pigs will be handed over to Jiang Zhiqing. Wang Zhaodi, you will go to work in the fields starting tomorrow."
"Captain, please give me one more chance, I promise..."
Before Wang Zhaodi could finish her words, Du Shouquan interrupted her: "You promise? What can you promise? Wang Zhaodi, if you don't want to go to the fields to work, it's fine. From now on, the sanitation of the cowshed will be left to you."
Wang Zhaodi fell silent. Suddenly, she pointed at Jiang Yunshu and said, "If I can't do this, then she can't do this either. What if she accidentally feeds the pigs to death?"
