Gouzi shouted loudly, and with a wave of his hand, several burly men rushed up and pinned down Sun Dage, Sun Xiaojun, and Liu Shuiquan.
These three men might be able to beat up a woman, but against such a burly man, they had no strength to fight back and were directly pinned to the ground.
"What's going on? Ding Zhen, you're here! Let me go!"
"What do you want to do! Ah! My hand! My hand!"
In just a few seconds, the situation changed completely. The three furious men were pinned to the ground like dead dogs, unable to move. Yu Jiu straightened his sleeves and looked down at them.
"What are you doing? You attacked the captain. You'll be locked in the dark room for three days. Also, all the work points you've earned this year will be deducted. If you still refuse to work after you come out, you'll be locked in the dark room and have your work points deducted for another three days until you're willing to work."
Oh, and until they submit to me.
Yu Jiu smiled faintly, a sly glint in her eyes. Even if these three didn't come looking for her tonight, she would have gone anyway. It was precisely because she was prepared that she dared to provoke them so brazenly, her aim being to provoke them into making a move.
Wow! Xiao Jiu, you're so handsome! But when did you let them lie in ambush at the door? How did you know these three were coming to cause you trouble?
Yu Caihong was completely smitten with the handsome Yu Jiu, looking at him with starry eyes full of adoration.
"Shh, heavenly secrets must not be revealed."
Yu Jiu gave a mysterious "shh," put his index finger to his lips, and his face was full of joy.
The people at the educated youth settlement were also stunned by this turn of events. What was going on? Wasn't Yu Jiu supposed to be a pretty and delicate young girl? How could she be so scheming? Well, she did hit Li Nannan before, and she didn't seem that weak, but today's move caught everyone completely off guard!
She's so cunning! She's got a mind of steel!
"Of course Yu Zhiqing is smart! Otherwise, would I be following her around? Would the team leader even want to marry her?"
The dog and Rong Youyan said, their little eyes widening with excitement.
"Alright, stop joking. Lock them up properly. Don't release them even if the Sun family comes to beg for mercy. They should have been dealt with a long time ago."
Yu Jiu explained with a smile.
“No problem. Also, Yu Zhiqing, I’ve noted everything you said. I guarantee they’ll beg for mercy and come out soon.”
The dog winked mysteriously at Yu Jiu, signaling the burly men to drag the three of them away.
What kind of riddles are you playing now?
Zhang Yan was genuinely puzzled. In her opinion, Yu Jiu didn't need to care about these people at all. Let them slack off if they want, and it doesn't matter if the corn harvest is a little slower. Anyway, if they don't want work points, just deduct them slowly. Give them whatever work they do. It should be best not to offend anyone.
After all, Yu Jiu isn't really the captain. At worst, he can just wait for Xu Zijiang to come back before complaining. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?
Although Zhang Yan is a feisty person, she knows how to weigh the pros and cons, especially as an educated youth. It's not a good thing to have conflicts with the villagers. If they deliberately want to mess with you, you're doomed.
"It's nothing, just a little trick to make them submit faster."
Yu Jiu smiled and shook his head, unwilling to say more.
If she were an outsider, she could of course ignore it, but since she is Xu Zijiang's girlfriend, if she intervenes, wouldn't that save Xu Zijiang trouble? Besides, Xu Zijiang doesn't know how long he'll be gone, so the sooner she can intimidate everyone, the better, so that it's less likely to cause trouble.
Moreover, starting with these three lazybones is less likely to provoke a negative reaction from others, which is a win-win situation.
"Alright, you're so smart, you must know what's going on, so I won't say anything more."
Zhang Yan shrugged, not intending to persuade Yu Jiu any further. Instead, she asked about Gouzi.
"Does Gouzi have a real name? How come he's just like a dog, always hanging around you all the time? Doesn't he feel embarrassed?"
"He doesn't have a real name, does he? I remember everyone always calling him Gouzi (Doggy)."
Yu Jiu thought for a moment, then looked at Yu Caihong, who had been there for a long time and might know.
"He doesn't have a formal name. If I had to name him, his formal name is Wang Gou, and his nickname is Gouzi."
Yu Caihong gave an affirmative answer.
"puff."
Zhang Yan and Yu Jiu both laughed, saying that it would be better to call him Wang Gouzi!
Why are you asking him?
"It's nothing, I'll take another look."
"What are you looking at?"
Yu Caihong and Yu Jiu were both very curious, and after thinking about it, Zhang Yan decided to tell them.
"See if he's suitable for marriage."
·····
"What did you say? Marriage???"
My goodness, this terrified the two of them. The dog hadn't done anything, so how could it have stirred Zhang Yan's heart so much?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not as pretty as you. I know my own limitations. I'm just an ordinary girl. If I don't get married while I'm young, I won't be able to marry anyone good when I get older. I'm not like you, wanting to be all lovey-dovey with my partner. I just think that Gouzi is clever and obedient. I thought if he could listen to me after we got married, that would be fine too."
"Besides, his family is doing alright, so I want to observe him for a while longer."
Zhang Yan certainly didn't like Gouzi. She didn't need a love-hate relationship for marriage; compatibility was key. She also knew her own personality—rather feisty and assertive. If she married someone equally assertive, how could they live together? They'd just be arguing all the time.
·····
I never expected it to be this reason! Zhang Yan's thinking is beyond the comprehension of so many people!
"If there's anything you want to know but it's inconvenient to ask, just tell me and I'll ask for you. I'm familiar with Gouzi, and when Xu Zijiang comes back, he can ask him too."
Yu Jiu decided to support Zhang Yan. Actually, thinking about it carefully, Gouzi was not a bad marriage partner. Although he was not tall or strong enough, he was not short either, at least 1.7 meters tall. He was thin but strong, and he could carry more than 100 kilograms of things quite easily.
Moreover, he's emotionally stable; no matter what you say to him, he's always cheerful and obedient, doing whatever you ask. He actually has the potential to be henpecked. Gouzi's family is fairly well-off, and his parents are nice people. If you consider all that, then Zhang Yan seems like a good match for him?
I wonder if the dog has figured it out yet. If Zhang Yan takes a liking to him and he remains indifferent, that would be a bit awkward.
"I have a question right now, could you ask about it for me tomorrow?"
Zhang Yan had been waiting for her to say that, and she sneakily moved closer.
"What's the problem?"
Yu Jiu and Yu Caihong both chimed in with their gossip.
"that is····"
"I've arrived. When are you bringing the person over?"
Meanwhile, Xu Zi quietly arrived at the agreed-upon location, left a secret signal, and then departed. He didn't go directly to the door; his arrival needed to be kept secret, and he couldn't let others know that the high-ranking official's son had been brought to his place.
Xu Zijiang has been retired from the military for several years, and not many people know about his relationship with the high-ranking leader. This is why the high-ranking leader chose to entrust his son to Xu Zijiang this time.
The higher-ups were also calculating the time of Xu Zijiang's arrival. Once they discovered the coded message he left, they immediately sent their son, who was already prepared, over. However, Xu Zijiang didn't expect that there would be an extra person.
