Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Plan



If he suffers, then there is no one suffering in this world.

However, these were things everyone could only say in their hearts; no one revealed them to the public.

Disgust flashed quickly in Li Weiguo's eyes. He glanced at Xu Youcai and then looked away.

Luo Weijia found it rather strange; Inspector Qian's questions seemed rather odd!

But then again, it doesn't seem like anything is wrong.

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was strange. Maybe Inspector Qian really felt that the accountant was working hard.

"Yes, Accountant Xu works very hard. She not only has to record the work points of everyone in Hongqi Village, but also manage the accounts. She really works hard."

He thought, "Flattery will get you everywhere. Going along with the boss is always the right thing to do."

This time, Luo Weijia was wrong. Qian Liulin disliked people like Luo Weijia the most.

Is accounting hard work?

It was definitely hard work, but compared to others, it wasn't that hard.

But Xu Youcai and Luo Weijia complained about how hard it was, so what about the others? Didn't they see that they were working even harder than them?

In Qian Liulin's mind, he had already sentenced these two people to death.

At first, he thought that if this Accountant Xu was a good person, he would act as a go-between to help Song Lili and Xu Youcai reconcile.

But now he doesn't think that way anymore. It seems that Song Lili has a reason for wanting to mess with him.

Qian Liulin immediately made a decision: he would keep his promise to Song Lili and proceed according to her plan.

He stood up and said, "Director Luo, please take us to the fields so I can report back to the town mayor when I get back."

"Yes, yes, yes, shall we leave now?" Luo Weijia stood up eagerly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Is the inspector really going to go to the fields? Or is he just talking the talk?

Or is it just a quick glance from afar?

Luo Weijia muttered to himself, but his movements were not slow at all; he walked directly to the front and led the way.

On the way, Qian Liulin asked, "How was this year's harvest? Did you take good care of the harvested crops? Did you take any measures to protect them from the rain?"

"Of course there are some. Everyone carries some home with them every day, and the rest are all piled together. We've also taken care of the rain protection measures," Luo Weijia said.

"That's good, but you can't let your guard down. You still need to check it to make sure everything is perfect."

Everyone has been terrified of hunger these past few years. Now that life is finally getting better, we must not let people go hungry because of our own mistakes.

This is also why Qian Liulin came out for a checkup.

Li Weiguo, standing beside Qian Liulin, hummed in agreement, "We'll be careful." Then he fell silent.

All that remained was Luo Weijia, who kept introducing everything about Hongqi Village to Qian Liulin, but in Qian Liulin's opinion, most of it was nonsense.

But he listened with a smile and did not interrupt.

When they reached the foot of the mountain behind the nearest Second and Third Detachments, Luo Weijia stopped and looked at Qian Liulin with some hesitation.

Should we continue?

Qian Liulin asked with a smile, "Director Luo, why did you stop? Is something the matter?"

Luo Weijia quickly shook his head, "No, no." Then he quickly turned around and continued walking forward, but his mind kept wandering.

Is Inspector Qian really going to go up the mountain?

Luo Weijia had always doubted the veracity of Qian Liulin's claim that he was going to the fields.

Judging from his behavior, he seemed to be both amused and curious as he led everyone forward.

Let's see how far you can go. Can someone who's never worked in the fields climb a mountain?

To Luo Weijia's surprise, Qian Liulin seemed very relaxed throughout the journey and was able to keep up with the pace of the men from Hongqi Village.

On the contrary, Xiao Sun and his group were panting heavily before they even reached the halfway point, their cheeks flushed and their heads covered in sweat.

Luo Weijia's gaze was more focused on Qian Liulin. Could he also be from a rural background?

Anyway, no matter what Luo Weijia was thinking, Qian Liulin eventually arrived at the barley harvesting site and saw the barley harvest up close.

He even talked with the people working in the fields and personally checked the quality of the barley, which could also help him judge the quality of this year's wheat.

Two or three hours passed after we started climbing the mountain, and it was time to eat our dry rations at noon.

Luo Weijia looked at Qian Liulin with a troubled expression. "Inspector Qian, what do you think? Should we go down the mountain? The village has prepared lunch."

To please the boss, we went all out this time, preparing only the rarest kinds of meat.

Looking at the gloomy weather, Qian Liulin said, "Let's have everyone stack the harvested barley together first." He seemed to have heard the gatekeeper say that it would rain today when he left home this morning.

"This..." Luo Weijia was even more troubled.

He's supposed to be an easy-going and considerate village head (in my opinion), so is it really okay for him to make everyone work during mealtime?

He put on a very serious expression and said, "Inspector Qian, well... everyone's been working hard all morning, how about we have lunch first, and then continue?"

Qian Liulin gave Luo Weijia a deep look, something seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes, and after a while he spoke.

"It might rain, so please stack them up first. We can't let the crops get wet, otherwise they'll sprout and all our hard work this year will be for nothing."

Judging from the sky today, if it's going to rain, it will definitely be overcast and rainy, and overcast and rainy weather usually lasts for several days.

The temperature is high right now, so it's easy for it to sprout. Once it sprouts, it's no longer edible.

For a moment, Luo Weijia's expression cracked, his surprise impossible to conceal.

Did he say something wrong?
