As Lin Ye was moving things, Luo Hao happened to pass by and quickly called Luo Chunlei over to help.
"Hey Ye, you guys are really bold. Aren't you afraid the team will report you?"
Despite saying that, he didn't stop moving things, and a sense of excitement welled up inside him, even more exciting than when Mu Xiaoting kissed him that day.
Lin Ye nudged his chest with his elbow, "Stop talking nonsense, if you have a problem, come at me!"
Looking at the increasingly empty brigade headquarters, Yang Hui felt like she was being fried in oil. She couldn't sit still any longer and gave Zhang Zhong a look: "Why don't you go and call Captain Zhou over?"
"I'm not going, and he's just hiding away, leaving us with this mess. I..."
Before Zhang Zhong could finish speaking, his wife rushed over in a panic.
“Zhong, you should go home quickly. Your dad was working in the private plot of land when he was bitten by a snake.”
"What?" Zhang Zhong jumped up and followed his wife home.
Yang Hui called out to him several times, but he ignored her.
The reason Lin Ye and his group dared to make such a fuss is because they were in the right. Even if they took it to the commune, the result would still be that the house would be returned to them. Why make things difficult for them now?
Thinking this, he quickened his pace.
As the sunset painted the sky red, Yang Hui, who had been persevering, began to have second thoughts.
Just then, Lin Ye finished moving everything else, and only Yang Hui's room was missing its belongings.
Lu Wanqing entered the house and, after a polite but firm approach, asked, "Accountant Yang, will you move it yourself, or will we help you?"
She can move things herself and keep them neat and tidy, but Lin Ye and the others, being a few rough men, might end up making a mess of things.
Yang Hui almost bit her back teeth off. She hated Zhou Changsheng for using her as a tool, and resented Lin Ye for driving her to the brink of despair.
"Lin Ye, are you still from the Victory Brigade? These are all the brigade's ledgers. If you mess them up, everyone won't be able to distribute the grain fairly after the autumn harvest. You're openly going against the entire brigade!" Yang Hui tried to use moral blackmail.
Lu Wanqing was not intimidated by her. Standing in front of her, she casually picked up an account book from the table and threw it on the ground.
Suddenly, the papers in the ledger scattered all over the floor.
"Who are you threatening! If it's so important, why don't you move out already? Why keep dragging this out! You're afraid of Zhou Changsheng, but I'm not. If you're so capable, make him come out right now! Is he a tortoise? Only you, like an idiot, are still protecting him!"
Lu Wanqing's sudden outburst of power made Yang Hui break out in a cold sweat.
She's always been known for her fiery temper, otherwise Zhou Changsheng wouldn't have let her hold this position here. She never expected to meet her match today.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Yang Hui was seething inside, but she couldn't actually go to Zhou Changsheng, so she could only say something conciliatory: "Young Master Lu, look at all this stuff, we really can't move it all in a short time. How about this, I'll start moving it now, and we'll definitely finish by tomorrow."
Lu Wanqing twitched the corner of her mouth, her expression returning to normal. She decided to trust her this time.
She locked the doors to the other rooms with her own padlock.
As for Yang Hui's room, she can come and collect it tomorrow!
When Lin Ye left, he invited Luo Hao and Luo Chunlei to his house for dinner.
Regardless, we should thank them for helping despite the risks involved.
"Brother Ye, do you still have any pheasants? I haven't had any in ages." Luo Hao ordered without any hesitation.
Lin Ye punched him in the chest. "You little rascal, you only came to help because of this, didn't you!"
You were so touched for nothing!
Of course there are pheasants. The chicken coop behind the house not only houses the six chickens we bought, but also the pheasants we caught from the back mountain these days.
The domestic chickens have grown to two or three pounds each. There are five hens and one rooster, and they're fairly well-behaved. The wild pheasants, on the other hand, are a different story. They're always running around and jumping, so Lin Ye has to use a fishing net to surround the entire chicken coop to keep them from escaping.
Every time the chickens fluttered, Lin Gou Dan would drool and look out the back window, thinking, "If only I could catch a chicken and eat it."
As luck would have it, at that very moment, he was brazenly making his way to the west room, stepping over a thick layer of rotten bamboo leaves.
Just as he was about to approach the chicken coop, he heard voices outside.
"Mom, you guys go and rest, I'll go catch chickens." It was Lin Ye's voice.
Lin Gou Dan felt a chill run down his spine, thinking how unlucky he was. He had just made his move when the other person returned, and now he was going to be caught red-handed.
The footsteps grew closer and closer. In a flash, Lin Gou Dan ran out quickly. He hadn't run more than a few steps when he tripped over something and fell to the ground. Right there was a piece of bamboo that had been cut off in his groin area.
The sharp bamboo tip pierced his pants and grazed his genitals.
To avoid being discovered by Lin Ye, he could only cover his mouth and lie on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
A few minutes later, Lin Ye caught the chicken and left. Only then did he dare to get up from the ground, clutching his groin as he went back into the house.
"Damn it, what bad luck! I just wanted to eat chicken, and I almost lost my manhood." Lin Gou Dan looked at the blood on his hand, on the verge of tears.
On the west side, Lin Ye skillfully slit the chicken's neck to drain all the blood, then poured boiling water over it, preparing to pluck the feathers.
He carefully collected all the chicken feathers he plucked and put them in a special basket for chicken feathers. One basket of chicken feathers could be exchanged for five eggs, so he couldn't just throw them away.
The pheasant was very fat, weighing at least five pounds, and its internal organs were quite large when they were removed.
Lu Wanqing didn't like eating offal, so she made a separate chicken giblet soup. The remaining chicken was cut in half, one half was used to make soup, and the other half was stir-fried.
Before long, a rich aroma of chicken filled the courtyard.
Upon returning, Zhao Xiaolan and Lu Wanqing, who were busy making clothes, smelled the aroma and worked even faster.
A short while later, Lin Xiaocui returned from outside, carrying a crossbody bag. After glancing around and finding no one in her house, she darted into the west room.
As I entered, I caught a glimpse of Luo Chunlei tending the fire at the stove, and I paused for a moment.
A few seconds later, she calmly entered the room and happily reported to Lu Wanqing: "I've delivered all the orders for today, and the feedback has been very good. Everyone says the clothes are beautiful. One of the older ladies asked me to ask you if you could make cotton-padded jackets."
“Sure, I forgot to tell you, I bought fifty catties of cotton to make cotton-padded jackets. But making one is time-consuming and laborious, and it will cost at least eight yuan. Next time, could you ask around and see how many people are willing to make them?” As Lu Wanqing spoke, she pointed to several burlap sacks on top of the counter.
The cotton inside is all top-quality cottonseed, and she only charges 8 yuan, which is really not expensive. Moreover, the fabric she uses is also of good quality, so you definitely get what you pay for.
"I understand, I'll promote it well then," Lin Xiaocui replied cheerfully.
Then, lowering his voice, he asked, "What's Luo Chunlei doing here?"
Lu Wanqing smiled faintly: "The two brothers helped us move our things, and they specially killed a chicken to treat us. By the way, why don't you stay and eat with us!"
Lin Xiaocui, unusually shy, quickly waved her hand and said, "Never mind, I'm afraid my mom will scold me!"
