I don't know how Luo Weijia finally got it all back, but in the end, he returned every penny of the money.
Song Lili learned this from Zhang Qinghua several days later.
As Song Lili had anticipated, rumors began to circulate in the village again within days.
It's talking about everything that happened that day, of course. The advantage of rumors is that they exaggerate the facts, and by several times.
This time, Luo Weijia's reputation in Hongqi Village became even worse.
The last time, it could be excused by saying that Luo Yuejin's child was just being silly, but this time it won't work.
This time, it is clearly stated that the protagonist is Luo Weijia, and he cannot escape.
Moreover, Luo Weijia's helper, Zhou Jiaming, is also caught up in this matter, and no one can help him anymore.
In this atmosphere, the annual autumn harvest arrived once again, and everyone was busy as ever.
The students were also on holiday, so they all went to the fields to harvest the crops as quickly as possible.
As before, the production teams first assigned tasks, but for the first few days, they would definitely collect tasks from their own brigade first.
In the last few days, the batches that finished collecting first would help the batches that hadn't finished.
In the last few days, something happened that was neither too big nor too small.
If this had happened in the past, no one would have paid any attention, but things are different now.
Not only is the external environment unique, but the internal environment of Hongqi Village is also unique.
The incident began like this: the wheat harvest of the Second and Third Battalions had been completed, and the Fifth Battalion had little left, which could be finished in one day.
So only the wheat from the first and fourth production teams was not yet harvested.
Luo Weijia's idea was to first have the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade help the First Brigade collect the goods, and then have them help the Fourth Brigade collect the goods after that.
Lü Qiaosheng's idea was that the Second Brigade would help the Fourth Brigade collect the goods, and the Third Brigade would help the First Brigade collect the goods, so that neither side would be delayed.
But Luo Weijia disagreed.
To others, either option might seem acceptable, but the person involved doesn't see it that way.
Luo Weijia's idea was to gather a large group first, since the weather hadn't been very good these past two days; it was cloudy and there was a tendency for it to rain.
What if it rains and all the crops are ruined in the fields?
Lu Qiaosheng didn't really want to help Luo Weijia, but he wouldn't deliberately let the crops be ruined either, so he thought he would avoid Luo Weijia and help one of them at a time.
But who would have thought that Luo Weijia would be so selfish as to oppose it?
Lu Qiaosheng immediately objected. As soon as Luo Weijia finished expressing his opinion, he immediately chimed in, "I don't think that's acceptable."
"As everyone can see, the weather has been changing these past few days, and it might rain at any time. How can we ignore the Fourth Brigade and only help the First Brigade?"
Liu Zhong, the captain of the Fourth Brigade, was also anxious: "Yes, our brigade still has a lot of wheat that hasn't been harvested yet."
After saying that, he licked his lips, as if he had mustered up a great deal of courage. "Moreover, we have much more left than the first brigade."
The main problem is that the Fourth Brigade has a lot of land, but few people, and its labor force is relatively weaker compared to the other brigades.
Therefore, we need help from other brigades every year.
In previous years, the first brigade was helped first, and then the fourth brigade. Everyone was used to it. No one expected that Lü Qiaosheng would object today, and Liu Zhong even echoed him.
“We always help the first team first, and it’s the same today,” Luo Weijia said assertively.
"The work of the First Brigade, plus the work of the Third Brigade, can be finished in two days. Why do we have to pile it all up together?"
We help out every year, and everyone is familiar with the situation of the first team. There really aren't many left.
“Yes, Director, our brigade will need another four or five days to finish,” Liu Zhong said, following behind Lü Qiaosheng.
“Helping the First Brigade first, then the Fourth Brigade, isn’t it all the same?” Luo Weijia said with a gloomy face and a sinister look in his eyes as he looked at Lü Qiaosheng.
I don't know what's wrong with Lü Qiaosheng. Lately, he's always going against me and contradicting me.
"Since the director says so, let's collect them all for the Fourth Brigade today, and then we can collect them for the First Brigade later." Lu Qiaosheng looked at Luo Weijia coldly and sneered.
"No way," Luo Weijia immediately objected.
Now, Lü Qiaosheng could no longer hide his sarcasm and sneer. "Why? Didn't the director say they were all the same? Besides, the Fourth Brigade has more left, so we should help the Fourth Brigade first."
Lu Qiaosheng stared coldly at Luo Weijia, wanting to know how he would answer.
“No, we have to take in the first brigade. There’s no room for discussion. What do you say, Secretary?” Luo Weijia turned to Li Weiguo and asked.
Luo Weijia thought that Li Weiguo was also from the First Brigade, so he hoped that the First Brigade would complete its mission first before taking charge of the other brigades.
However, Li Weiguo did not think that way; his thoughts were similar to those of Lü Qiaosheng.
“I agree with Lü Qiaosheng’s idea: either help one side or help the Fourth Brigade first, and the First Brigade last.”
The weather has been really bad these past two days. I'm afraid it will rain, especially if it's continuous rain, which would ruin the crops in the fields.
Therefore, the wisest course of action is to save the most.
"Secretary, what's wrong?" Luo Weijia looked at Li Weiguo in surprise, seemingly not expecting Li Weiguo to say such a thing.
Li Weiguo looked at Luo Weijia very seriously and said, "Director Luo, we're all from the same village." His implication was that they shouldn't be so clearly divided or make their differences so obvious.
“Yes, of course we should help each other out of the village. Let’s help the first brigade first. Is there a problem?” Luo Weijia asked in return.
“Helping each other is fine, but Luo Weijia, can you please not be so selfish? Or rather, can you please not be so domineering?” Lu Qiaosheng interjected from the side.
"What do you mean?" Luo Weijia's face also darkened, this time he was being very clear to Lü Qiaosheng.
"Director Luo, don't you understand what I mean? You asked us to help the first brigade because you were worried about the rain. The first brigade's crops will be ruined."
"But the Fourth Brigade's crops are also in the fields, and they have even more. Shouldn't we help the Fourth Brigade first?"
"Besides, the rest of your team can finish in three days if you all do a little more work. You don't need anyone's help."
It was precisely because of the annual help that the members of the first brigade became somewhat lazy and lacked the sense of urgency that other brigade members had.
Otherwise, with the strength of such a large brigade, it's impossible that there would still be crops left unharvested.
This is also because of the selfish director, Luo Weijia, who spoiled them.
"You're talking nonsense! You mean we're slacking off? Lü Qiaosheng, let me tell you, you'd better think carefully before you speak." Luo Weijia's tone was full of threat.
“I’ve thought it through. What? You did it and you don’t want people to talk about it?” Lu Qiaosheng stared at Luo Weijia, not backing down an inch.
"Don't think everyone is stupid and can't see through your little schemes. You just didn't want to bother with it before."
