Sheng Xiping stared at Du Jiabin, his fist clenching and unclenching repeatedly.
No, now is not the time to deal with this bastard. We can deal with him another time.
"Du Jiabin, do you really think I don't know your tricks?"
"You also have your eye on Zhou Qinglan, but unfortunately you're a coward, afraid of Sun Yunpeng's retaliation, so you dare not say it."
Sheng Xiping gritted his teeth and squeezed out two sentences through gritted teeth.
Just because he doesn't discipline this bastard doesn't mean others won't.
Du Jiabin was able to stir up trouble back then, and now Sheng Xiping can do the same thing.
Sowing discord is something everyone knows how to do. Let them fight like dogs.
Sure enough, Du Jiabin's expression changed immediately after Sheng Xiping said those words.
He immediately turned to look at Sun Yunpeng and, sure enough, saw Sun Yunpeng staring at him angrily.
"Brother Peng, don't listen to his nonsense, how could I be like that?"
Zhou Qinglan is someone Brother Peng has his eye on; I don't dare compete with him.
Du Jiabin lowered his head, concealing the resentment hidden in his small eyes, and spoke in a humble and ingratiating tone.
Upon hearing this, Sun Yunpeng's expression softened, and he snorted, "Hmph, I bet you wouldn't dare."
After speaking, Sun Yunpeng looked up at Sheng Xiping.
"Stop talking nonsense, Sheng Xiping. You better remember this: stay away from Zhou Qinglan, or I won't be polite to you."
This man was used to being arrogant and domineering, and he didn't take Sheng Xiping and the others seriously at all.
Sheng Xiping rolled his eyes at the other person, "Why should I listen to you? I don't even always listen to my dad, who do you think you are?"
Sorry, Brother Sheng has lived to sixty years old and has never backed down, nor has he ever indulged anyone.
Sheng Xiping looked back at his friends and suddenly grinned.
"Hey? What were you guys talking about just now? Oh, right, you told me to call Gao Haining's sister-in-law, right?"
He had thought before that if he could do it all over again, he would definitely live an honest life and not get involved in any trouble.
However, some things are clearly unavoidable.
In this situation, no man would back down.
People are practically shitting on his head, how can he tolerate that?
If he backs down today, how will he ever be able to stand firm in Qianchuan Forest Farm again?
We can deal with those two slowly, but we absolutely cannot lose face today.
"Yes, yes, Brother Xiping, dare to call out?"
Everyone remembered this too, and while looking at Sun Yunpeng provocatively, they echoed in unison.
"What's there to be afraid of? Listen up."
Sheng Xiping smiled casually, rolled up his sleeves, then cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly towards the upstream stream.
"I want Gao Haining's sister-in-law."
"I want Gao Haining's sister-in-law."
Sheng Xiping shouted three times in a row, and his voice echoed in the open mountains and fields, reaching upstream.
A group of girls upstream are washing their hands and faces, preparing to eat.
Suddenly, I heard shouts in the distance, so I stopped what I was doing and listened carefully.
"What are those people wailing and howling about?" someone asked casually.
"What I heard was 'want soap'?"
A girl wearing a slightly worn blue top and blue pants, with two braids, listened carefully and then spoke.
"I guess their hands got dirty from working, so they need some soap?"
As she spoke, the girl took a handkerchief out of her pocket, opened it, and inside was a small bar of soap.
"I happened to have a bar of soap with me, so they got a good deal."
As she spoke, the girl picked up the soap and then went to the riverbank to pick a large leaf.
Use a leaf to hold the soap, put it in the river, and splash water with your hand to make the leaf float faster.
The stream in the woods isn't very wide; an adult can easily step across it.
However, the stream was flowing quite fast. Before long, the male educated youths downstream, who were waiting for a response, saw something floating down a green leaf.
"Look, what's that?"
Although Sheng Xiping already knew what would happen after he shouted those three sentences, he still couldn't help but feel hopeful.
I hope that leaf will carry the soap down the river.
And at that moment, the leaf from my memory indeed drifted downstream.
Sheng Xiping's heart skipped a beat. He didn't care about anything else and rushed over to pick up the leaves and soap from the water.
"What is this? A piece of soap?"
The young men also curiously gathered around, looking at the thing in Sheng Xiping's hand with great confusion.
What does this mean?
"What else could it mean? Our Brother Xiping said he wanted Gao Haining's sister-in-law, and the higher-ups sent down a piece of soap. Isn't that clearly an agreement?"
The young man with the buzz cut said with a smile.
"Oh, you bet! They must have heard it but were too embarrassed to reply, so they sent down a piece of soap."
Upon hearing this explanation, everyone thought it made sense and burst into laughter.
"Brother Xiping, what do you have to say now? Seize the opportunity and don't miss it."
The group of young men were very happy. They came up and hooked their arms around Sheng Xiping, laughing and teasing him.
He's a 60-year-old guy, thick-skinned as ever, so why would he care about these people's teasing and jokes?
Sheng Xiping ignored his friends and paid no attention to Sun Yunpeng and Du Jiabin, who were already red-eyed and about to explode with anger.
He carefully put the soap, along with the leaf, into his pocket.
"Let's go eat."
As he spoke, he walked with Wang Jianshe and the others toward the field where they were working; their provisions were hanging on the trees at the edge of the field.
"Sheng Xiping, don't be so smug. You'll see what happens to you later."
As he passed by those people on the other side, Sun Yunpeng gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
Sheng Xiping glanced at Sun Yunpeng and said, "Alright, bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, I'll take them on."
Don't forget, I'm the leader of the educated youth team, and you're still under my command.
I was only being lenient with you before, not even bothering to stoop to your level. Did you really think I was afraid of you?
The reason they didn't want to clash with Sun Yunpeng and his group was to recruit workers, not because they were afraid of them.
Although Sheng Xiping still looks like he's in his twenties, he's actually a sixty-year-old man inside.
What haven't I experienced in my past life? How could I be scared by a few young punks?
Since arriving at Qianchuan Forest Farm, Sun Yunpeng has never taken the educated youth there seriously.
He was used to being domineering and arrogant, and with a group of sycophants like Du Jiabin around him, he thought he was something special and didn't respect anyone.
In the previous few times when he deliberately picked fights, Sheng Xiping always remembered his parents' advice and took the initiative to back down.
Sun Yunpeng felt that he was something special and had intimidated all the educated youth in Qianchuan Forest Farm.
But today, Sun Yunpeng suffered repeated setbacks at Sheng Xiping's hands and lost all face. How could the usually arrogant Sheng Xiping tolerate this?
"Damn it, Sheng Xiping, don't push your luck."
As he spoke, Sun Yunpeng swung his fist at Sheng Xiping.
