Miao Cuihua's eyes widened as she desperately tried to break free from Xu Baolai's grasp.
No matter how much she scratched, clawed, and kicked, Xu Baolai's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to let go.
Xu Jinlai was still with Xiao Yi: "Captain, Party Secretary, the women in this family are muddle-headed and don't know how to handle things. Lao San and I will go back and give them a good talking to! It's such a small matter today, and we've already troubled you both. How about this, another day, after the house is cleaned up, let's have a good drink together—"
The captain smelled the stench wafting in the wind and thought to himself, "This place is so awful, even the best food and wine will taste disgusting."
However, they gave the Xu family a warning and told them to behave themselves, and that was enough.
It's not good to go too far.
So he nodded and said, "Alright, it's good that you all understand! We'll head back now. You all don't need to go to work today, just stay home and tidy up!"
With that, he winked at the Party Secretary, and the two of them walked away as fast as they could.
I need to hurry home and change my clothes, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to eat breakfast.
Seeing that the brigade leader and the party secretary had left, the people around gradually dispersed and went home.
Once everyone left, Xu Baolai gritted his teeth and let go, hopping mad as he complained, "Mom, I'm your own son! How could you be so cruel, scratching me so hard?!"
As soon as Xu Baolai let go of her hand, Miao Cuihua immediately turned her head to the side and spat for a long time.
He wiped his lips with his sleeve and cursed, "Xu Laosan, you brainless bastard, you didn't wash your hands after getting shit on them before you tried to cover my mouth—" As he cursed, he picked up the sole of his shoe and hit Xu Baolai twice.
Xu Baolai ran away with his head in his hands.
The members who hadn't gone far couldn't help but chuckle and mutter to themselves as they watched this scene.
"Tell me, who threw the excrement at the Xu family's house? They must have climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to do it. Do we even have someone like that in our brigade?"
"Didn't the Xu family say it was Fourth Sister?"
"Pah! The Xu family always pushes everything onto Siya! The brigade leader said that Siya has to cross half the brigade to get from her house to the Xu family's house. It's the middle of the night and she didn't disturb anyone, not even the dogs barked. That's impossible, isn't it?"
"Who cares who threw it? Let's just watch the show! I always said the Xu family deserved it! Just because their daughter is dating a city guy, they act like the whole family is going to move to the city and become city people. They don't even look at people properly. Now that they've been smeared with excrement, I wonder if that city guy will still want their daughter?"
...
That morning, no one in the Tuanjie Brigade was in the mood to work; they were all discussing the incident of the Xu family being splashed with excrement.
After the brigade leader and the party secretary finished arranging the work in the fields, they pointed to the two precious cows in the brigade and said that the wheat harvest was about to begin and they were worried that something might go wrong. So they went around to Xu Ningyan's house.
The conversation about the Xu family "casually" came up.
Looking at Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan's increasingly surprised faces, I could only sigh.
He didn't show it on his face, but the implication was that this kind of thing was okay once, but it couldn't happen again! This time, the Xu family had no evidence, so the brigade turned a blind eye.
If there is a next time, then they must be severely punished.
Xu Ningyan cooperated fully, and even joined in righteous indignation to condemn the culprit who threw the excrement. He also echoed the words of the brigade leader and the party secretary, saying that the brigade had handled the matter very well this time, and that the person who did this would not do it again after knowing the brigade's good intentions.
Both sides expressed their positions and attitudes in a very tacit manner.
Once the brigade leader and the party secretary left...
Xu Ningyan wanted to sneak into the house, but the way the big boss looked at her just now was terrifying.
Without a doubt, the big boss knows it was her who did it.
The moment he moved his foot, Gu Zhiyuan spoke up: "Don't go."
Xu Ningyan had no choice but to stop obediently, forcing a smile: "Brother Gu, what's the matter? I was just thinking of cooking. What would you like to eat for lunch?"
"Even if you want to take revenge on the Xu family, why use such disgusting methods? If you want to make things difficult for the Xu family, there are many other ways! Make Xu Yinlai and his wife lose their jobs, prevent Xu Zhenzhu from marrying Lu Kai, or cause infighting among the three branches of the Xu family. Wouldn't that be better?"
Gu Zhiyuan felt a headache coming on.
This girl's methods are too crude and direct, and she's also incredibly disgusting!
Xu Ningyan's body trembled.
As expected of a big shot, he came up with so many ways to make the Xu family uncomfortable in the blink of an eye.
This big shot must be incredibly cunning, right?
He chuckled, "Well, I was really angry yesterday, so I just wanted to annoy them a little—"
Gu Zhiyuan frowned: "So you came back from throwing excrement last night and didn't even wash up—"
That's what really bothers him.
Xu Ningyan immediately declared, "When I came back, I washed myself by the river for ages! I even had my dog wash all four of its paws!"
Gu Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "So, do you feel better now that you've vented your anger?"
Xu Ningyan thought for a moment and answered honestly, "It only made me feel a little bit better! The Xu family has done so many disgusting things, and I only splashed them once. How can that make me feel better? I will definitely take revenge on them when I have the chance in the future. As long as they are not happy, I will be happy!"
The big boss is so cunning, I can't hide it from him, and there's no need to hide it, so I might as well tell him everything.
Gu Zhiyuan nodded and didn't say anything more, seemingly agreeing.
Xu Ningyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, in the following months, the Xu family would encounter unexpected accidents or misfortunes from time to time.
People in the village don't say it to her face, but behind her back they all say that the Xu family has been having bad luck ever since they separated Xu Siya from her and severed ties with her.
Miao Cuihua used to say that her daughter Zhenzhu was very lucky, and the whole family lived a good life because of Zhenzhu's good fortune.
Now it seems that the one who is truly blessed is not Xu Zhenzhu, but Siya!
The Xu family personally kicked their own lucky star out of the house!
Even the Xu family members gradually began to waver, but that's another story.
Just a few days later, Xu Zhenzhu returned from the county and heard about the farce. She was furious, resentful, and afraid.
She was angry that her family members were so useless, unable to even control Xu Siya, and instead being controlled by her, which also damaged her reputation.
She also hated Xu Siya, who was indeed a scheming and ungrateful wretch who did not appreciate the Xu family's kindness in raising her.
What I'm even more worried about is that Xu Siya is like an unkillable cockroach; will she take Lu Kai away from me in the future?
The more I thought about it, the more uncertain I felt, and I couldn't stay at home anymore.
If they went out, the people in the brigade would look at them with strange eyes and laugh at their family behind their backs.
And I don’t know if it’s just psychological, but even though the house has been cleaned for a long time, I can still smell a bad odor.
Most importantly, she wanted to go back to the county town to contact Lu Kai and deepen their relationship.
Lu Kai's injuries have greatly improved, and he has been transferred back to the county town. Since there is no one at home to take care of him, and also for the convenience of the two of them meeting, he is staying in the dormitory.
She was going back to keep a close eye on Lu Kai and make sure no one had a chance to take advantage of him!
