Chapter 50: Just a Toad
"Li Zhaodi, you are really like a toad that doesn't bite, you are just annoying. I'm telling you clearly, you can't climb into our family by using tricks. We will never suffer a loss a second time after being wronged once. You'd better stop daydreaming every day."
Liu Cuihua grabbed Li Zhaodi's hair, forced her to look up and look at her, and said viciously.
When the team members heard this, they all started talking at once.
"Hey, do you think Li Zhaodi wants to learn from Jiang Laosan's wife and use the same trick to blame Jiang Hao?"
"Of course. Everyone in our team knows that the Jiang family is well-off. If she could marry Jiang Hao, she would definitely enjoy a good life."
"Bah, Li Zhaodi is so smart, if this trick works, then everyone can use it.
If this succeeds, and if other women in the team take a fancy to you men and think you men are good, and also use this kind of shabby trick, what will you do? "
"That's right. Zhao Xiuxiu's behavior was understandable at first. After all, she had to have close physical contact with the man under everyone's eyes. The important thing is that she didn't do it on purpose.
But this Li Zhaodi is really here to get something for nothing, and she definitely wants to slander others. If Jiang Xiaowu hadn't reacted quickly, once Li Zhaodi had taken off her clothes, she would have been in trouble.
"No, I didn't. Jiang Hao said he likes me just like this. Jiang Hao just wanted to tarnish my innocence.
My innocence is gone, my reputation is ruined. If he doesn't marry me, I'm going to go to the commune and find the Public Security Bureau and the leaders of the Youth League Office to sue Jiang Hao for being a hooligan, for undermining the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside, and for persecuting educated youth who went to the countryside."
Li Zhaodi listened to what the people around her said and felt that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. She thought that since her reputation was ruined after this incident, she might as well go all out and force the Jiang family to admit defeat and marry her.
Besides, if Zhao Xiuxiu, a country girl, could force the Jiang family to bow down, why couldn't I do the same? Could it be that I am not as good as Zhao Xiuxiu?
When the people in the brigade heard that Li Zhaodi was going to report to the commune and the public security bureau, they all shut up immediately. After all, they were all farmers. As the old saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials. Hearing about that kind of place was scary.
"Li Zhiqing, if that's what you said, let's go to the commune. I also want to ask the Zhiqing Office what to do if the Zhiqing sent to the countryside damages the relationship between the Zhiqing and the farmers.
As for your claim of being a hooligan, I think anyone with eyes can see that you are just spreading rumors. The people in our brigade are no pushovers, and when the police and leaders come to collect evidence, we will definitely tell the truth."
Others are afraid, but Jiang Jianguo is not. As the team leader, he deals with commune leaders every day, yet he can still be frightened by a young educated youth.
Li Zhaodi shuddered after hearing what the captain said. She still wanted to insist that it was Jiang Hao who was being rude to her, but then she heard Jiang Hao say
"Li Zhaodi, you've been in the brigade for so long, you must have heard how other people evaluated me, such as being reckless, lazy, and greedy. Let me tell you, these are still the mildest criticisms.
Actually, I also beat women. Oh, that's not right. I should say that I beat people regardless of gender, so don't make me angry.
You want to rely on me simply because you think my family conditions are good, but I am not that good. The little money I earn is just enough to support myself.
If we get married in the future, even if my family gives me money, you won't get a cent, because my family will definitely give the money directly to me, and I won't be stupid enough to give it to you.
The most important thing is that I really don't like you. Even if I was blind that day, I still wouldn't like you.
So, you'd better give up as soon as possible and stop making trouble again and again.
Even if things get worse and I'm forced to marry you today, I can still separate the family after we get married. By then, I won't want anything from the house, and I won't do any farm work. I'll just lie in bed every day, acting like a boss, and let my wife support me. Think about it, if that's the case, you still won't be able to take advantage of me."
Liu Cuihua was displeased to hear her beloved son tarnish his own reputation in this way. She yelled at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? There are some things that can only be said in front of others."
After saying that, he felt that everything was Li Zhaodi's fault. If she hadn't insisted on pestering his son, his son would not have been so aggrieved and slandered him.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Liu Cuihua went straight up to Li Zhaodi and started to scratch her. In a short while, she had scratched Li Zhaodi's face into potato shreds.
"It's all because of you, little bitch. You only dream about beautiful things all day long. Can't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of character you really are? You want to climb up to everyone, but don't you think about whether you can even reach that level, bitch."
Jiang Jianguo saw that his wife had almost finished beating him, so he went forward to pull her up and said to Li Zhaodi,
"Let's go to the commune tomorrow and explain everything to the leader. Let's see if he believes you or me."
Li Zhaodi was frightened when she heard this. Could it be that the commune leaders did not trust Jiang Jianguo, the team leader who had served in the army and saved the lives of the entire village during the three years of famine, but instead trusted her, an educated youth who had not been in the Red Star Team for long, had caused trouble a few days ago, and had a bad reputation?
Thinking of this, Li Zhaodi was no longer so stubborn, and quickly knelt on the ground, crying and saying,
"Captain, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed for a moment. I really won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time. Let's not go to the commune. Going there will affect the reputation of the team."
Jiang Jianguo actually didn’t really want to go to the commune. After all, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the road to the commune was too difficult to walk on.
Another thing is that if this matter really gets reported to the commune, it will be the fault of the team leader himself for improper management.
By then, I will leave a bad impression on the commune leaders, and I don’t know whether the team can be rated as advanced next year.
If this cannot be rated as advanced, not to mention other things, we will definitely not be able to apply for as much diesel for tractors as we did this year. It is really not worth it to delay the application for diesel for a worthless educated youth.
The role of this oil-powered tractor during the busy farming season and autumn harvest is beyond the reach of even a dozen or twenty or thirty educated youths.
So Jiang Jianguo saw that Li Zhaodi had given in, and after thinking for a while, he said,
"Since this is your first offense, I'll forgive you this time, but you did make a mistake after all, so it's not right not to punish you.
How about this, when work starts in the spring, you can carry manure for the brigade for three months."
Li Zhaodi was really unhappy when she heard that she had to carry manure and it would take so long.
But when she thought that if she didn't agree, the team leader might really take her to the commune, she would be in big trouble. So Li Zhaodi could only grit her teeth and agree, enduring the humiliation.
Jiang Jianguo saw that the matter was settled and said to the people around him, "Everyone, go away. The weather is quite cold. Go home and warm up. You have been outside for so long. If you catch a cold, you will be out of touch."
Liu Cuihua also followed suit, "That's right, that's right, everyone, please go away quickly, there's nothing to see, she's just a toad, she'll never amount to anything, she might as well go back to taking care of the kids."
After Jiang Jianguo drove everyone away, the others had no choice but to go back home.
