Zhang Guoan said disdainfully: "I came back to kill that bitch. I don't believe that a little girl can turn the tables!"
The three of them went about their respective business.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xingrong had just walked out of the mountain pass—
She asked Shitou and Luo Wangshan to have dinner at home. Remembering that she hadn't visited her fourth uncle and Aunt Dahua for a long time, she wanted to take this opportunity to go and see them.
The people of Zhangjia Village were also busy harvesting, heading home for lunch. However, many people didn't rush home, but instead watched the excitement from the roadside. Aunt Dahua's family and Zhang Guokuan's family hadn't completed their assigned tasks and were being reprimanded.
"I told you to finish harvesting this area, but you've only harvested less than half. You're so slow, are you trying to delay the harvest?"
At this time, the two families could only keep their heads down and keep silent. If they spoke, they might have to do more work in the afternoon.
The captain has been causing a lot of trouble these days, and they don’t know how to get by!
Many people around gloated over the misfortune——
"Oh, I think they just want to delay the harvest and get us criticized by the commune!"
"Captain, just drive them out of the village!"
"That's right, aren't they protecting Rongya? Rongya is going to Lugou Village, so let them follow her to Lugou Village!"
Everyone nodded as they spoke. Word of Zhang Xingrong's departure for Lugou Village spread, and many people started to criticize Zhangjia Village. They felt ashamed and resented Zhang Xingrong. They didn't realize that if they had helped Zhang Xingrong leave the Zhang family and split up, she wouldn't have left. They simply felt that Zhang Xingrong had embarrassed them and that everything was her fault.
Moreover, when Zhang Xingrong came, she brought delicious food to Aunt Dahua's family and Zhang Guokuan's family, but not to anyone else. They were jealous and of course did not have a good attitude towards these two families.
When Uncle Longde heard that they were going to be driven away, he immediately became anxious: "No, no, no, Captain, we can definitely finish this job. We won't go back for lunch at noon, we will work here!"
Rushing to Lugou Village?
How could I survive in Lugou Village? There were few fields there, just hills, and all I planted was corn. The hills weren't very good either. The soil on two hills was decent, but there were springs there. When it rained, the water flooded the hills, and the corn wouldn't grow well.
The corn didn't grow well and the harvest wasn't good either.
So Lugou Village is the most miserable village in the entire brigade.
What are they doing in a place like this? Are they going to eat dirt?
"This area is so big, and there are only five or six of them. How can they finish the harvest in one day?" A cold voice sounded outside the crowd.
The sound was so clear and sudden that everyone heard it. They turned around and saw Zhang Xingrong walking towards them carrying a bamboo basket.
When they saw Zhang Xingrong, their faces immediately turned bad.
"Hey, isn't this someone from Lugou Village? What are you doing here?"
"That's right, even after leaving, you still come to our Zhangjia Village every day. Shameless!"
Zhang Xingrong glanced at the people around him with disdain and said, "I built this road myself, why can't I walk on it?"
"You...you were so lazy back then, how many times did you repair it?" The people around him cursed with gnashing teeth.
"I moved mud and compacted the earth. Not just me, but my whole family worked on it," Zhang Xingrong said coldly. She was lazy about work, but building the road required the whole village to work together. After all, roads were crucial to the production team, and everyone had to work on them; otherwise, grain would be withheld from them. So, back then, Grandpa Zhang personally supervised her work.
