After saying that, Wu Wenwen teased her, "So your little temper is really nothing to me."
"Sister Wu~~" Ye Zhiyu said in a spoiled tone, clearly unhappy.
Wu Wenwen smiled indulgently, then thought of Lu Cao's temperament and Lu Chen's feelings for Ye Zhiyu.
She sounded a little worried: "Tell your sister if she contacted you."
There was nothing to hide, so I told them the whole story.
“This Lu Cao is really spoiled by her parents. She speaks without any restraint. She didn’t hit you, did she?”
Ye Zhiyu shook her head: "No, she just called me a bitch and I snapped back. I'm not made of dough, you can't just punch me and leave a dent."
If you dare to try, she can cripple Lu Cao with a flick of her finger.
"Anyway, you should be careful; he's a madman."
Ye Zhiyu neither agreed nor disagreed.
When they were having dinner that evening, Fu Tingshen and Li Xi came over from behind the house again.
Ye Zhiyu raised an eyebrow. Li Xi wouldn't just let Fu Tingshen take all the benefits, would she?
If that's the case, then it's incredibly stupid. But it's only a matter of time. With the power of words, even if Fu Tingshen never touches Li Xi again, the two will never be separated.
Dinner was the same old thing: cornbread, pickled cucumbers, and salted vegetables—it couldn't be more meager.
Ye Zhiyu had no appetite at all and was about to leave with her bowl when Lin Yueze spoke up.
"Today, the brigade leader talked to me about something. Our brigade's scorekeeper, Sister Lu, is about to give birth, so her position will be vacant. We're wondering if anyone in our educated youth settlement would be willing to take the job."
Ye Zhiyu's eyes lit up. She had been thinking about this for the past few days. Although she would be hanging up the hoe soon, she could shamelessly say that she couldn't do heavy work, but it wasn't a long-term solution.
But becoming a scorekeeper is different. Every day, you just need to register who took the farm tools from the warehouse, record each person's work points, and count them again after the farm tools are returned. That's all you have to do.
But she didn't speak rashly.
Liu Yuan curled his lip, "We're always left out of the good stuff, and all we get to do is this thankless, arduous task."
"Liu Yuan!" Lin Yueze shouted warningly.
If this gets back to the captain, what will he think of them? Besides, he was just asking and didn't name anyone.
For a moment, no one spoke; they all buried their heads in their food.
It's understandable, really. Being a scorekeeper is easy, but you only get 5 work points. And reconciliation is a hassle. There are a few unreasonable companies that will either claim they were under-recorded or that someone else was over-recorded.
Anyway, it's just making a scene.
No one in the village was willing to take on this mess. Initially, Lu Weimin, Lu Chen, and Lu Ze took it on as a side job. Later, the village secretary's daughter-in-law became pregnant, and not wanting to burden her, but also unable to do nothing, he took over the job.
She's about to give birth and is quitting. If no one is willing to take over, Lu Weimin will have to worry about it again.
The educated youth in the settlement had a high level of cultural awareness and wanted to relax, but if they relaxed, they wouldn't have food to eat.
Li Xi was indeed tempted, but the persona she cultivated in front of Fu Tingshen was that she was not vain.
So she refused everything Fu Tingshen offered her, and thus she relied on work points to make a living.
Ye Zhiyu's eyes darted around as she carefully observed the expressions on everyone's faces.
Finally, he spoke up: "Then I'll go."
The courtyard fell silent, but after a moment's thought, everyone understood. Ye, the educated youth, had no shortage of food or money, making him a suitable candidate.
Liu Shengnan frowned: "It's a mess, don't go."
"It's nothing." Ye Zhiyu gestured for her to be quiet.
Lin Yueze nodded, and said he would talk to the brigade leader after he finished eating.
Li Xi's eyes darkened. Ye Zhiyu's reckless behavior was only because he had the Ye and Su families as his backing.
The system has been acting strangely lately, it keeps disappearing. Just wait, Ye Zhiyu, your luck and your future are mine.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Fen gripping her chopsticks tightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"No, why did you take on this mess? When those people cause trouble for you, I don't know how your skinny arms and legs will be able to withstand it."
Liu Shengnan was furious.
Ye Zhiyu sighed helplessly: "Then what else can I do? I can't do farm work, and I can't cut pig feed either. So, I'm left with being the scorekeeper. But you forgot there's someone watching me like a hawk, just waiting for me to make a mistake. If I don't do anything, that's shirking my duties."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shengnan felt a surge of annoyance at the thought of Li Xi, who was always clinging to Fu Tingshen.
Wu Wenwen patted her on the shoulder: "The scorekeeper is indeed the most suitable job for Zhiyu. Don't worry, we'll help her if anything happens."
We might not even need to help them; that guy from the Lu family is not someone to be trifled with.
However, the only downside to being a scorekeeper is that you have to get up early.
Ye Zhiyu got up groggily and was still in a daze when she sat down at the dining table.
"Hey, snap out of it." Liu Shengnan stood next to her and patted her.
Ye Zhiyu leaned her head against her, wrapped her arms around her waist, and gently nuzzled her.
"Ugh~ I'm so sleepy."
Liu Shengnan's face flushed bright red, and she stammered, "Then what should we do?"
Wu Wenwen couldn't help but laugh when she saw her stiff expression.
Wang Qing and Zhou Xue found it amusing; they had never seen Liu Shengnan like this before.
Li Yuzhe watched with a smile. Usually a lively and energetic girl, she didn't dare to move at all.
On her way to work, she kept thinking about Ye Zhiyu's appearance. No wonder Lu Chen liked her, and she liked her too.
"Quiet down, I have an announcement to make. The original scorekeeper, Li Xiaohua, is about to give birth. Ye Zhiqing will take over the role. Everyone, please welcome her."
Lu Weimin led the applause in welcoming them, and the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause, mostly from men.
Since Ye Zhiyu went to gather pig feed, it has been difficult to see her normally. Now that she has become the scorekeeper, they can see her every day and even get close to her, which they are naturally very happy to welcome.
Ye Zhiyu also said a few words: "Hello everyone, I am Ye Zhiyu. From now on, I will be the scorekeeper. Please take good care of me."
He even bowed.
Another round of applause erupted as Lu Chen looked at her with doting eyes.
After the announcement, she started working normally. Lu Weimin took the lead in guiding her, but there wasn't much guidance. It was just registering who took what.
When it's time to evaluate work points in the afternoon, just tell her the standards.
Lu Chen has long legs and fast steps, so he's positioned a bit closer to the front of the line.
"Lu Chen, a hoe."
Ye Zhiyu, who was registering with her head down, suddenly looked up and asked, "Lu Chen?"
"Are you going to work today too? No...?"
She didn't finish what she was saying, but Lu Chen understood that she meant the mountain. Actually, when Lu Chen wasn't out transporting goods, he worked at home. He was quick and good at his work. Once he finished ten centimeters, he would go up the mountain, so he could do both without any problems.
"What about Niu Niu?"
Ye Zhiyu really likes Lu Yun, and now she misses her a little.
