Zheng Xu was still blaming himself for not communicating with Bai Jiaojiao sooner, but Bai Jiaojiao frowned and asked, "Captain, shouldn't this be your job?"
Zheng Xu was stunned for two seconds. Seeing that Zheng Xu was confused by her question, Bai Jiaojiao changed her approach:
“Captain, the village chief came to see me a couple of days ago and told me that the collective comes first, then the individual. He said that my merits are useless and that the honor belongs to everyone, making it sound like I was greedy for credit. But look at him today, he got his own award certificate.”
Bai Jiaojiao came to Zheng Xu because she felt he was fair, so she told him all her thoughts.
"Well, it's normal for the higher-ups to praise him, after all, he did fulfill his leadership role," Zheng Xu said, seeing Bai Jiaojiao's resentment.
"No, it's not the brigade leader. If the villagers hadn't begged him to make some tools for our village just like the ones we have, he would have been hoping that the whole village would use just two sickles. And if he hadn't been so stingy and unwilling to order more than two, we might have harvested all that land in one go."
Bringing up the old story again, Zheng Xu was also full of anger: "There's nothing I can do about it. He's the village chief, and he's always in charge of these kinds of things. I can't control how he writes his reports."
Zheng Xu seemed like someone who was indifferent to fame and fortune and didn't like to meddle in other people's business. Bai Jiaojiao asked further, "Was it the village chief who was eager to go to the marketing department?"
Logically speaking, the matter of grain should be led by the brigade leader.
With Bai Jiaojiao having said all that, what else could Zheng Xu not understand?
However, he was also helpless and could not show any disunity in the leadership team in front of the commune members: "What's this talk of fighting or not? We discuss it together, so don't overthink it."
Before saying this, Zheng Xu sighed, his tone somewhat uncertain.
Zheng Xu gave affirmative answers to almost everything Bai Jiaojiao wanted to confirm.
First, Zheng Xu should know something about Li Lide's report not being based on facts, but he just didn't bother to care.
Secondly, fried noodles were very likely one of the projects Li Lide was trying to claim credit for.
In short, Li Lide earned that award by boasting about it himself.
"Understood, Captain. Thank you."
Bai Jiaojiao was schemed against her whole life in her past life, and she doesn't want to be schemed against in this life.
With Li Lide acting as village chief, nothing good has come of it in Shili Village.
Bai Jiaojiao had a sudden thought. She had to teach him a lesson, at least not let him act so recklessly, thinking that she was made of clay.
If all else fails, removing him from office would be a permanent solution.
