The other two ignored him and continued their loud attacks.
"That's right! We get our work points deducted, but we don't get them added back. Why is that?! Even if we were lazy and didn't work yesterday, at most you wouldn't record yesterday's work points for us. Why deduct three days' worth of work points?! I demand that the work points we lost be added back! And today, the work points that everyone else gained should also be added back to us!"
"Processing points, processing points!!!"
The three men acted like they were about to revolt, shouting and yelling around the educated youth settlement, raising their fists up and down. Being three men, they looked quite intimidating. Everyone else at the settlement watched without moving, except for Yu Caihong and Zhang Yan, who rushed over and stood next to Yu Jiu.
Zhang Yan retorted sharply.
"What work points?! Do you need to get work points just because you did any work today?! Only those who did work today get them. What, you think you're right just because you have a loud voice?! Let's have a contest then!"
"That's right, don't think you can bully Xiao Jiu just because the captain isn't here. Watch out when the captain comes back and deals with you!"
Yu Caihong, not to be outdone, brought up Xu Zi's future.
The calmest of the three was Yu Jiu. She didn't seem afraid of these three lazybones taking action at all. She lazily raised her eyebrows and said.
"I won't add it, so what?"
The tone was quite provocative.
"Xiao Jiu, the captain isn't here, and neither is Gouzi. If they make a move, we can't beat them. Please speak more politely and don't provoke them."
Upon hearing this, Yu Caihong quickly tugged at Yu Jiu's sleeve and whispered, her voice filled with worry. After all, there's an inherent difference in strength between men and women; you can't deny it.
"It's alright, I have my own plans."
Yu Jiu curled the corners of her mouth, indicating to Yu Caihong not to worry about it.
"You! You're not adding points, are you? So you're deliberately targeting us? You and the team leader aren't even married yet! Even if you were, you're not the team leader, just his wife. What right do you have to deduct our work points on behalf of the team leader? This is collusion and corruption, exploiting us! Believe me or not, I'll go to the commune and find the leaders!"
Just because that educated youth, Li, is from out of town and can't handle you doesn't mean we can't! Besides, with your current reckless behavior, if we go to the leaders, you'll definitely get what's coming to you!
Sun Da Ge said aggressively.
With just a few ounces of wine, he deflected the heavy blow, simply letting out a soft "oh."
“Go ahead. Xu Zijiang was just awarded the title of Advanced Team Leader. Go find the leader and ask if they have any objections to Xu Zijiang’s management style. He may have managed too well and received these honors, which is why you petty people are jealous and trying to sabotage him.”
Yu Jiu seemed indifferent, letting them sue as they pleased.
"By the way, when we discuss this harvest with the leaders, why you skipped a whole day of work, and why you were always so slow and lazy when you were working, which delayed the harvest and planting, and almost caused the team to be unable to deliver grain."
Go ahead, make sure the boss gives you lazybones a good compliment. I'm sure the boss will like Xu Zijiang even more in the future.
She said sarcastically, her sarcastic tone practically overflowing. Just because Sun Da Ge and the others are lazy and like to cheat doesn't mean they're not smart enough. They couldn't tell she was being sarcastic, and the group was furious.
"Are you threatening us?! Let's keep things separate! The fact is, we were absent from work for a day, but you deducted three days' worth of work points from us. And today you gave everyone else work points except us. This is targeting us! Don't give me any other nonsense! Let's stick to the facts, don't you understand?!"
"You call yourself a sent-down youth? You think you're cultured? I haven't seen any culture in you!"
Liu Shuiquan was so angry that spittle flew out of his mouth. He spoke as if he were a war god with a crooked mouth, and Yu Jiu took eight steps back in disgust.
"Just talk, don't attack me with your saliva. Why don't you go get a drool wipe your mouth first? You're already in your fifties, but you're still like a baby who hasn't been weaned, needing to be fed and needing your drool wiped. Tsk."
I'll say it again: once I've made a decision, I won't change it. No extra points, no matter where you go, I'm right. Also, you asked why I deducted your points? Of course, it's because Xu Zijiang wasn't there. I was personally appointed by him as the acting team leader, so of course I have the right to deduct your points.
I not only deducted three days' work points from you yesterday, but I haven't even had a chance to tell you about today's events yet. You didn't go to work today either, so you'll have three days' work points deducted from that as well. The corn harvest is in full swing, everyone is working themselves to the bone, while you're all relaxing at home. Is there really such a thing as a free lunch?
Normally it's fine, but during harvest time, everyone, regardless of size or age, must work in the fields unless they're feeling unwell. Isn't that the rule for every team? As the team leader's wife, and also the acting team leader, I've been working in the fields. What reason do you have to shirk your duties? Especially after I've already warned you and deducted your work points.
So, I'm deducting three more days' work points from you today! If you still don't go to work tomorrow, I'll deduct another three days' worth, until you're willing to go to work. By the way, if you don't have enough work points to deduct, I won't deduct points from your family members. Once you've used up all the work points you earned before, I'll arrange other heavy work for you, like carrying water or manure, until you've made up for the deducted points!
"You think you can avoid working? No way!"
Yu Jiu said decisively that she was determined to deal with these lazybones and help Xu Zijiang solve a major problem on his mind.
She wasn't just sympathetic to the women of the Sun family; more so because these three lazybones would incite everyone to slack off. Leaving aside whether they could earn enough work points to support themselves and their families, the fact that poor work would lead to a bad harvest and inability to deliver grain was a matter of life and death.
This will have a direct impact on Xu Zijiang.
So whether it's for Xu Zijiang's future work or to keep people under control now, these three lazybones are the tools he's using to establish his authority. He's going to take on this tough nut!
"You! How can you be so unreasonable! What business is it of yours if I don't work! It's not like if we stop working, the others won't finish! Look for yourself, the corn harvest is still complete!"
"I'm not doing it! Deduct points all you want, I'd rather die than work! Go ahead and deduct all your work points and let us starve! If that's the case, we'll fight you! I refuse to believe we can't deal with you, you bitch!"
Sun Xiaojun couldn't take it anymore either. If Sun Dage hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed up and hit Yu Jiu.
Trying to ruin his carefree life? No way!
"Give it a try."
Yu Jiu merely curled her lips in disdain, uttering no further words. It was precisely this disdainful smile that snapped the three men, causing a surge of anger to erupt within them, and they all charged forward in fury.
"Fine, let's try! I'll have a go at you today! I refuse to believe I can't take you down!"
"Add my work points back! You dare deduct my work points? I'll kill you!!!"
The three men lunged at them menacingly, but Yu Jiu merely pulled Yu Caihong and Zhang Yan back slightly, her face showing no fear. Gouzi, who had been lying in ambush, also rushed in from outside the gate of the educated youth settlement with several strong young men.
"Stop it, all of you! You dare hit the captain? You've gone too far! All three of you lose all your work points and are locked in the dark room to reflect on your actions!!!"
