"Captain, you're too kind. This is what I should do." Wei Baichuan's earnest demeanor made him seem even more reliable.
Listening to Wei Baichuan and the captain's modest words from behind, Su Ti felt that Wei Baichuan was sometimes so upright that it was puzzling, and sometimes so cunning that it made people suspicious.
"The brigade leader is right. This half basket of grain is yours. There's a reward and a punishment. If it weren't for you, our brigade wouldn't know if we could have delivered the grain on time."
Several people at the brigade headquarters insisted, and Wei Baichuan finally reluctantly agreed. The group then returned to the brigade, chatting and laughing.
As soon as he arrived at the brigade, the team members came up to greet him. The brigade leader started talking all at once about what had happened that day, and he even gave Wei Baichuan a special commendation.
In the end, Su Ti couldn't stand it anymore and made an excuse to take Wei Baichuan away.
"The captain is so enthusiastic." Su Ti knew that if it weren't for Wei Baichuan's help, they wouldn't have had such a smooth day.
"The brigade leader has no experience in delivering grain for the first time. If Wei Changgen were to go, with his ability to talk to people in a way that suits them, none of this would be a problem."
Since the falling out between the two families, Wei Baichuan has never called either of them "father" or "mother" again; in his heart, they are no longer family.
"Wei Changgen is indeed very clever, and he's quite adept at scheming. Shall we go find Huang Cuifen after we finish eating?"
Suti thought he had to confirm things today.
"Okay." Wei Baichuan paused, and as the matter drew near, he became less and less hopeful.
He did wish he wasn't a child of the Wei family, but he also didn't want to be associated with those powerful and wealthy families.
He didn't want to disrupt his peaceful life, and seeing how excited his wife was, he didn't object.
When the two arrived at the Wei family's house, it was in the middle of a commotion.
"We agreed on one day per family, so why should I do all the work? Your wife is gone, so you're expected to take over and wait on me to serve you? Dream on."
Su Nianyou has been exhausted these past few days. The cowshed is a place that everyone in the brigade hates; there's not enough to eat, and the work is the hardest and dirtiest.
That wasn't the worst part; it was the people's demeanor. They were so lifeless all day long that she couldn't even find someone to talk to.
The squad leader would urge them to work from time to time, or else he would whip them with a note. They had no human rights at all.
She cursed and made a scene, but it was no use. She also tried to persuade the people in the cowshed to rebel with her, but they ignored her completely.
Their eyes were empty, and they lived like zombies. Su Nianyou couldn't understand it. Didn't the novels she read say that people living in cowsheds were all big shots?
She had originally hoped to take this opportunity to build good relationships with these people, but they were nothing like she had imagined. Su Nianyou was so depressed in that environment that she was almost going crazy.
That wasn't all; when she got home, she still had to do laundry, cook, gather firewood, and fetch water. The double blow was almost too much for her.
“These are jobs that women should do, how can I do them?” Wei Baide glared angrily at Su Nianyou.
"What's wrong with women? Where would you be without women?" Su Nianyou is now holding on with her last bit of faith.
Wei Baidao is the male protagonist of the book. He will definitely succeed. Even if she ruins one of his benefactors, he will surely soar to great heights as long as he is given time.
And Huang Cuifen is, after all, the male lead's mother, so she can't go too far. They're going to live together for the rest of their lives.
But what makes Wei Baide so special? The book also says that he has no real skills and just relies on the male protagonist to win his whole life. She's not afraid of offending him at all.
"You...you bastard, I'm the eldest son in the family!" Wei Baide was furious. Seeing his younger brother watching the show without intervening, he was seething with anger.
"The eldest son? I think he's a useless son. This was agreed upon from the beginning: one day per family, and your family must send one person out."
"Don't expect to get something for nothing. And those clothes you don't want to wash, just throw them away. If you dare to put them in the basin outside again, I'll burn them all."
Su Nianyou had truly had enough. Serving Wei Baidao was for her future life, and serving Huang Cuifen was out of necessity, but why should Wei Baide have any right to do so?
She also has a child to take care of. Once Wei Baidao becomes successful, she will definitely not let these useless people leech off her.
"Third brother, are you going to do anything about your wife?" Wei Baide wanted to punch someone, but he got irritated whenever he saw a woman.
The women in this city are even more unpredictable; the second son's wife turned their house upside down.
The third brother's family also managed to drive away those people in the brigade some time ago through their own abilities.
He wouldn't dare to actually do it. Su Nianyou was pregnant, and if something happened to her, he would have to go inside and keep her father company.
"What does it have to do with me? My wife is right." Wei Baidao couldn't wait to see his older brother make a fool of himself.
Even when he was a child, he loved to act superior in front of me, as if I, as the older brother, should listen to him.
He's happy to see him get the short end of the stick now, since he doesn't have to do any work anyway. He has a wife, but she ran away.
Thinking about how Li Hehua cried and begged to marry Jin Jianguo that day, saying that his older brother was useless, he couldn't help but laugh.
He's different; his wife is pregnant with their son, so that's how his life is going to be.
Seeing this, Wei Baide rushed forward and started tearing at Wei Baidao, while Su Nianyou stood a little further away, indifferent.
These days, things are like this every few days at home. Where do they get the strength to fight with just dried melon and vegetable leaves?
Su Nianyou was extremely annoyed. Every time she asked Wei Baidao something, he would look mysterious, and she had no idea what to expect.
Just as she was about to go inside to rest and wait for them to finish beating her before coming out to cook, she turned around and saw Su Ti and his wife standing at the door watching the show.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome in our home!" Su Nianyou screamed when she saw Su Ti.
She's afraid of people now, and feels ashamed more than anything. She can't compare to Suti no matter what, and Suti must be laughing at her in his heart.
"I just came to see if you were doing well. Seeing you like this makes me feel relieved." Suti ignored what she said and walked in on her own.
“This is my home. You are not allowed to come in. We have already separated and severed all ties.”
Su Nianyou was about to say something when she heard her gloating words, but she was startled when she saw her walk in.
Sutilai is definitely up to no good. Is she plotting something again?
"Yes, our two families have severed ties. It's just that Huang Cuifen didn't put her fingerprint on the certificate of severance last time, isn't it?"
"I'm worried. I think I have to fix this handprint, otherwise I won't be able to eat or sleep!" Su Ti felt particularly relieved to see Su Nianyou's flustered appearance.
The two Wei brothers looked at Su Ti blankly. Was she here for this? Not to cause them trouble?
