"Could it be Li Nannan?"
Yu Jiu suddenly had a sudden inspiration and asked a question.
"That's right, it's her, it's her! She's torturing me to death! Captain, let's send her away! Send her anywhere we can! This menace can't stay in our team any longer, sob sob sob."
"Yeah, Captain, this Li Nannan is always trying to cause trouble. She's wasted so much of our time lately! If she could just escape, that would be one thing, but she's as dumb as a pig. We've given her so much time and she still can't get away. We have to catch her again!"
That's the most infuriating thing! They clearly gave her a chance to run away, and it would have been better if she had run away and never come back, but every time she ran off to some messy, chaotic place. She couldn't escape, she just couldn't escape!
····
Listening to everyone's cries, Xu Zijiang finally understood what was going on. He was also helpless; he had wanted to send Li Nannan away for a long time, but that was the policy now, and he couldn't send her away!
"Keep her locked up for now, and release her when she knows how to back down."
Xu Zijiang didn't bother with Li Nannan, lest she ruin his mood. He gestured for Gouzi to go rest, then leisurely took Yu Jiu and went home.
"Keeping her locked up like this isn't a good solution. She's not afraid of death. How about we find a way to transfer her to another team?"
Yu Jiu didn't want to see Li Nannan, who loved to cause trouble, anymore. She regretted it. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have chosen Chen Yuan instead of Li Nannan. At least he knew how to be afraid.
“Then I’ll try to find other team leaders. If that doesn’t work, I’ll bribe Team Leader Xitang. He’s easy to fool.”
After thinking for a moment, Xu Zijiang decisively introduced the great traitor, Captain Xitang.
"Okay, no problem. I'll go with you to find him tomorrow. I also want to see Zhang Yan; it's been so long since I've seen her."
Zhang Yan had visited her at Beitang Brigade before, but they hadn't seen each other since they were both busy. Especially after the flood, she wondered how Zhang Yan was doing. She could go to Xitang Brigade with Xu Zi tomorrow and visit Zhang Yan there.
"Okay, then you go back and rest first, get plenty of rest, and I'll take you there tomorrow."
Xu Zijiang agreed, and then he took the remaining wine back to the educated youth settlement before returning home. He hadn't been back for a week, and the house was covered in a thin layer of dust because no one had cleaned it.
However, now that the betrothal gifts have been bought, he will no longer be the only one in the house. No matter how many days he is away, when he comes back he will likely see a clean home, his beautiful wife, and his lovely children.
Xu Zi was delighted and had even more energy to clean.
On the other side, Yu Caihong saw Yu Jiu return and excitedly rushed over to ask her what happened.
"So, do your family approve of your relationship with the team leader? Are they willing for you to marry him?"
She pricked up her ears, eager to gossip.
Before leaving, Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu used the excuse of going to Yu Jiu's house to meet her parents, so it's perfectly normal that when they returned, someone asked her about her parents' attitude.
Yu Jiu nodded calmly.
"I agree! Anyway, I don't know when I'll be able to go back. It's good to have someone take care of me here. Xu Zijiang is also very nice. He's tall and handsome, and considerate. He has a lot of good qualities. It's impossible for me to disagree."
"That's true. The captain's character is impeccable; he'll definitely treat you well in the future."
Yu Caihong sighed with a hint of envy.
She's a few years older than Yu Jiu, but she hasn't found her soulmate yet. After staying here for a few years, she's given up on dreaming of going back to the city. Anyway, life is alright now, and she's gradually gotten used to the local schedule and working in the fields. Even if she doesn't find a partner, living alone isn't so bad.
Seeing that Yu Jiu was a little tired, she didn't ask any more questions and let Yu Jiu go to sleep.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Xu Zi and Yu Jiu rode their bicycles to Xitang Village. Before they even entered the village, they saw a plump figure—it was Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan had been going to Beitang Brigade these past few days to look for Yu Jiu, but not only did he not find her, he also heard that she was going to marry Xu Zijiang and that the two had even gone home to meet each other's parents. He was extremely jealous, but now that she was not around, there was nothing he could do.
I could only sneak over to Beitang team every day hoping to catch a glimpse of Yu Jiu returning, but unexpectedly, I didn't even need to go to Beitang team today; Yu Jiu came to Xitang team by himself.
Chen Yuan was overjoyed, and the flesh on his face trembled again.
"Yu, you're here to see me? I've looked for you so many times, but you're never here."
"They say you're getting married, it must be fake, right? You're so beautiful, how could you marry a country bumpkin? If you're going to marry, you should marry someone from the city, at least someone like me!"
We're both from the city, both sent-down youth, and we're educated. We're the most compatible couple. Yu, you should like me! Don't be fooled by him. He looks like someone who would beat you. Do you want to get married and be beaten by him every day?
Chen Yuan asked excitedly, and even tried to rush up and grab Yu Jiu's hand. His emotions were very unstable, as if he had been stimulated.
Yu Jiu hadn't expected him to still be so persistent and still thinking about her. Yu Jiu really didn't want to say something like "a toad wanting to eat swan meat," but the facts proved that Chen Yuan was a terrible match for her, or rather, he was a terrible match for anyone.
Being fat isn't scary; the problem is that Chen Yuan isn't just fat in the ordinary sense. His weight has probably affected his health, so it's no wonder she dislikes his physique.
"I don't need to explain my affairs to you. I can be with whomever I want, and you don't need to try to make yourself look good."
Yu Jiu coldly avoided him and retorted to his words. She had no obligation to explain her thoughts to Chen Yuan. Besides, he was a person who lacked self-awareness, saying that Xu Zijiang was no good. He should take a piss and see what he looked like.
"If you dare try to approach me again, don't blame me for having Xu Zijiang beat you up again."
Xu Zijiang swung his fist, which was as big as a sandbag.
"Did you hear that? Be careful, you're going to get beaten up again and have to pay money. What, haven't you had enough? Or do you like being disciplined by your captain?"
Xu Zijiang is in danger for Minghua. Chen Yuan dared not confront Xu Zijiang directly, and could only reluctantly retreat to the side. He remained at a distance, determined not to leave.
However, he was originally part of this team, and this was the only road they could take. So it couldn't be considered that he was following two people. The two people reluctantly and generously let him go. Xu Zi rode his bicycle and disappeared in front of Chen Yuan in a flash. Want to follow? Hmph, let's see if your two legs are faster than his two wheels.
Chen Yuan ran quickly, but even after running for a long time, he couldn't catch up with Xu Zijiang's carriage.
Xu Zi rode his bicycle directly to the door of Captain Xitang's house. Captain Xitang was having breakfast when he saw an uninvited guest at the door. He subconsciously finished the remaining soup in his bowl. Only when he was full would he have the energy to deal with Captain Beitang, who was even more troublesome than a water ghost.
"Hey, eating now, Captain Xitang, can I ask you for a favor?"
