"Weiwei, how can you say that about Brother Mingzhe? Even if you two canceled your engagement, you don't have to humiliate him like this, do you?" Ye Wanwan looked at Ye Weiwei, her face full of disapproval.
Ye Weiwei glanced at Ye Wanwan, and when she saw the gloomy-faced captain Lu Mingcai beside her, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
It seems that yesterday's lesson was not enough.
"Dad, save me! Ye Weiwei is going to beat me to death!" As soon as Lu Xiaolan saw her savior arrive, she immediately shouted at the top of her lungs. She then gave Ye Weiwei a defiant look, wondering if Ye Weiwei would dare to go against her this time!
So what if they're from the capital?
Once you arrive at their Daqingshan Village, even a dragon would have to coil up before her!
Dare to offend Lu Xiaolan, or you'll regret it!
"Ye Zhiqing, let go of my daughter right now!" Lu Mingcai shouted angrily.
"Did you hear me! Let me go right now!" Lu Xiaolan shouted, taking advantage of Ye Weiwei's power. "Ye Weiwei, this isn't over until you apologize to me in front of the whole village!"
Ye Weiwei sneered, not only not letting go of Lu Xiaolan, but also pulling her from behind the table to the front, "Do you know what the crime of defamation is? Oh, I forgot, you didn't even finish elementary school and can't recognize all the words, so you probably don't know. But I can kindly tell you, the crime of defamation is a crime that can lead to jail time."
"I...I...How did I slander you? You were the one who grabbed my clothes first." Lu Xiaolan was so frightened that she stammered, her eyes darting around.
She can't go to jail!
Otherwise, with a stain on her record, how could she marry Zhao Mingzhe and become a city dweller?
Ye Wanwan was secretly pleased that Ye Weiwei would not even give face to the brigade leader. This stupid woman was still the same as before, acting and speaking without thinking!
She offended the brigade leader, so she can forget about having a good life in the village from now on!
Lu Mingcai was furious. Ye Weiwei was bullying his daughter right in front of him, the head of the production brigade. She was too arrogant. Did she think he was just a figurehead?
"Ye Zhiqing, no matter what conflict you have, it's wrong of you to strike first."
Ye Weiwei looked at Lu Mingcai with a half-smile. Although this man was the brother of the village chief Lu Mingfa, his conduct and interpersonal skills were far inferior to Lu Mingfa's.
The man in the book was greedy and lustful. He took advantage of his position as the brigade leader to gain benefits. In the end, he was caught having an affair in a cornfield and was sent to jail.
Lu Xiaolan had been bullying the original owner for quite some time, and she didn't believe that the captain was unaware of it. Moreover, Zhao Mingzhe's job as the scorekeeper was also arranged by him, just so that Lu Xiaolan could have more opportunities to interact with Zhao Mingzhe and take advantage of his proximity.
Do you really think everyone is stupid and can't see through his little schemes?
"Captain, do you recognize this?" Ye Weiwei pointed to the sickle in the corner.
Lu Mingcai frowned, wondering what Ye Weiwei was up to. "Sickle, what's wrong?"
How many people in the countryside don't recognize a sickle?
Ye Weiwei sneered, "It's good that the brigade leader knows me. Today I was assigned to cut pig feed. When I was getting the tools, there were clearly two sickles. This Lu Xiaolan blatantly lied and said there were no sickles. I pointed to the two sickles and asked her, and guess what she said? She slammed her hand on the table and yelled at me, saying: 'If she says there aren't any, then there aren't any. I'll have to use my hands to cut them!'"
Veins bulged on Lu Mingcai's forehead as he glared fiercely at his good-for-nothing daughter. "Is what Ye Zhiqing said true?"
Lu Xiaolan flinched, her mind racing as she tried to come up with an excuse, "Those two sickles, those two sickles were left for someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Weiwei couldn't help but curse Lu Xiaolan in her heart as an idiot.
Ye Weiwei deliberately dragged out her words, "Reserved for others? I thought that when farm tools were distributed, it was first come, first served. So it turns out you can get them reserved in advance through connections!"
The mere mention of "getting in through connections" caused the expressions of everyone present to change.
Some who had long disliked Lu Xiaolan's behavior couldn't help but say, "Why? Isn't this discouraging us from working?"
“That’s right! If that’s the case, then we don’t need to come early to line up for farm tools anymore. We can just let you know in advance so that we can save some for you.”
"Heh, you wish! Do you think everyone has the nerve to leave farm tools in advance?"
"So what? We're all the same people, why are we divided into different classes just to get farm tools? Isn't this creating class antagonism?"
"..."
The murmurs among the crowd grew louder, and Lu Mingcai's face darkened further.
"Lu Xiaolan, apologize to Ye Zhiqing right now! If this happens again, you can forget about getting this job!"
Seeing her father's dark face, Lu Xiaolan knew he was truly angry, and she was so frightened that she dared not be arrogant anymore. She hung her head and said, "Ye Zhiqing, I'm sorry."
After Lu Xiaolan finished apologizing, Lu Mingcai looked at Ye Weiwei and said, "Ye Zhiqing, this time it was indeed Lu Xiaolan's fault, and it was also my fault as the brigade leader for not managing her well. Now that she has apologized, can you let her go for the time being?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Weiwei released Lu Xiaolan's collar and then kindly patted the wrinkles on her clothes, her tone unusually gentle, "Captain, I acted impulsively today. It's just that similar situations have happened too many times before. I can let bygones be bygones, but now that I've broken off my engagement with Zhao Mingzhe, it's a bit too much for Comrade Lu Xiaolan to still target me like this."
Lu Mingcai's face twitched a few times, and he forced a smile. "This kind of situation will definitely not happen again in the future."
Ye Weiwei appeared easy to reason with, "I believe the brigade leader is a fair and selfless person, and he certainly doesn't know what Comrade Lu Xiaolan did. But brigade leader, when you're managing the production team, don't forget to manage your family too. You lead us all to work hard and tirelessly, and yet you have someone at home who's dragging you down. Isn't that tarnishing your good reputation? No matter how many merits you have, they can't withstand such misfortune, don't you think?"
Being lectured in public by a young girl with blond hair made Lu Mingcai feel like his face was being trampled on. However, with so many eyes watching, he couldn't say anything in rebuttal. Instead, he had to put on an act of being enlightened and agree with Ye Weiwei's words.
“Weiwei, we are the younger generation. Even if Comrade Lu Xiaolan made a mistake today, you can’t hold the captain responsible and speak to him like that.”
After Ye Wanwan finished speaking, Ye Weiwei looked at Lu Mingcai with a helpless expression, "Captain, Weiwei is young and has a fiery temper. She doesn't think before she speaks. Please don't take it to heart."
Ye Weiwei raised her hand and slapped Ye Wanwan so hard that she spat out two teeth. Then she pointed at the teeth on the ground and said, "Does everyone know what it means to say 'a dog can't spit out ivory'? This is it!"
