After Shen Zhizhu's introduction, not everyone in the village could go to work in the factory.
There are always a few people who miss the opportunity at first because they think it is unnecessary, and then when they want to join later, the factory no longer has any staff.
There were also people who did not work well in the factory and were persuaded to resign because of their laziness and stealing. It was clearly their own problem, but for some reason, they blamed Shen Zhizhu for their failure to make money.
They see the lives of the people around them getting better step by step, but they are still standing still, and the men in their families complain about them every day.
This made them look at Shen Zhizhu more and more displeased.
The words he spoke also had a strange and sinister flavor.
Shen Zhizhu could tell something was wrong right away, and not only she, but the people around her also felt something was odd.
Mrs. Wang, who was usually close to Aunt Li, just spoke to the gloomy man at a rapid pace, leaving the other party no time to interrupt.
"Will you be able to speak nicely? I'm capable and living a good life. What's the problem?"
"No problem."
"He's smart. You can't learn to go out to the big city, but Xiaozhu Haonan is smart. He has made efforts and received corresponding rewards. What's wrong with going to the big city? Is there a problem?"
"No problem."
"I think you're just jealous. If you have the time, why don't you find something serious to do instead of wandering around the village all day long. You've got a big mouth from wandering around. You're really unpopular."
"Not popular."
"You too, do you know how to curse? If you don't, just shut up. Why are you always trying to learn from me?"
Mrs. Wang is also a hot-tempered person. When she scolds someone, even those who are on the same side as her will be scolded.
The person who repeated what she said behind her was her young mistress. After being scolded, she didn't get angry or cry, but smiled at Shen Zhizhu.
Shen Zhizhu couldn't help but burst out laughing. After hearing this, Mrs. Wang said with some regret that they were not as good as they thought.
"Look at you. People are scolding you, but you don't know how to talk back? Is it because the books don't teach you how to scold back?"
Shen Zhizhu became honest and wanted to say something back, saying that the book did not explicitly teach how to curse people, but she did not dare to say it for fear of being criticized again.
Mrs. Wang scolded Xu Haonan again, pointing her right index finger at him.
"Your woman is being told that you, a grown man, have nothing to say. How angry must you be? Can you fight back? If you can't curse, your muscles are growing in vain. Fight back."
Shen Zhizhu was quick-witted and stepped forward to stop Mrs. Wang.
This is not a good thing to teach.
"Sister Wang, we are civilized people, so we won't bother with them. If they keep talking, I'll grab the axe hanging at home and go to their house for tea. Why waste our breath on them? It's like they're so important."
Mrs. Wang choked.
"That does make sense. Forget it. This time, your sister-in-law will help you to scold back. But don't be reluctant to scold back if you get bullied in a big city, okay?"
Shen Zhizhu felt warm in his heart, knowing that Mrs. Wang was worried about him, so he quickly responded and said yes.
The man who was scolded by Mrs. Wang and couldn't say a word finally got the chance to speak.
"My results haven't come out yet, and I don't know if I'll pass the exam yet. I'm already worried. If I find out in a few days that I didn't pass, I'll be so embarrassed."
Mrs. Wang thought it was funny.
"You said it yourself. You know she won't pass the exam even though the results haven't come out yet? Shut up. You are so petty. No wonder no one wants you at this age."
Shen Zhizhu recognized Wang Saozi's fighting ability. She was worthy of being a woman who could fight with Li Chunlan, that shrew, for three hundred rounds.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang glanced over at him, and Shen Zhizhu immediately stood up.
"That's right. We studied every day and night, and we wrote a lot of papers. We couldn't pass the exam. How could you, who idled around every day and didn't have a proper job, take the exam?"
Xu Haonan followed closely behind. Unless there was any unnecessary talk, his words were not particularly sharp, but as soon as he stood there with that bossy figure, the sense of oppression was immediately overwhelming.
The man originally wanted to say something in response, but the glorious incident of Xu Haonan killing a wild boar alone had already spread throughout the village.
Who would dare to confront such a person head-on?
Shen Zhizhu chuckled, relying on Xu Haonan's power.
"Shen Ai Qiu made a bet with me. If I scored better than her, she would say in front of everyone that she was not good enough. She was just pretending to be considerate. What about you? Do you want to make a bet with me too? Let's bet on whether we can get into college."
The person obviously hesitated for a moment and felt a little guilty. She originally thought that Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan should have good grades. At such a young age, they became the richest family in the village and led so many people to improve their lives.
Nowadays, I can take the college entrance examination and even go to big cities to develop. How can this not make people jealous?
"I, I, why should I bet with you? What good is there in betting? I won't bet."
Shen Zhizhu was happy, it turned out that the other party didn't really think that he could not pass the exam.
"It seems that this auntie sincerely believes that my husband and I can pass the exam. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I wouldn't have scolded you if you had told me earlier."
Shen Zhizhu laughed happily and didn't seem to mind at all, which made Mrs. Wang speechless.
“Ahem!”
Du Zaide saw that everyone's attention had shifted to Shen Zhizhu again. He was so angry that he couldn't help but pretend to cough to attract everyone's attention.
Shen Zhizhu has not forgotten that Du Zaide was suspected of being involved in the fire in her house, but the most crucial evidence is still missing.
"What's wrong with you, village chief? If you feel unwell, you should go back and rest as soon as possible."
Du Zaide had a fake smile on his face.
"It's nothing, I just had a cold a few days ago. What I want to say is that Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan have made great contributions to the improvement of everyone's life in the village. I was confused before and did something that was not good for them. I used my own money to make up for the money they lacked. So, if you need to use the tractor, it's also possible. I just don't know if you can accept my apology and let the previous things go?"
In front of so many people, Du Zaide apologized to Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan and even bowed, which moved the people around him.
He looked at Shen Zhizhu with some excitement, and tried to persuade him, saying things like they were all from the same village, so it was better to be friendly, and that if the other party knew he was wrong, it would be better to just let it go.
Xu Haonan approaches Shen Zhizhu.
"Should you forgive him?"
Shen Zhizhu stared at Du Zaide who was bowing, with a smile on his face, and answered Xu Haonan in a low voice.
