"Well, Captain said, we have no right to interfere with other people's affairs. We should just take care of our own. It's getting late. Put these things away and go to bed. It will be bad if mice eat them."
Hu Guiqin said, "Don't worry, I locked these good things in the cabinet. People don't have anything to eat, so how can I give them to mice? Could it be that it thinks it is inlaid with gold?"
Except for the people in the educated youth site, everyone else had a good night's sleep. They woke up the next morning to go to work. Xia Yunxuan got up, packed up, had breakfast in the space, and walked towards the team headquarters. She felt her eyelids twitching all day. Was something going to happen again?
Don't think about it. After all, she is not the original owner now. If anyone dares to seek death, she will definitely help him.
Xia Yunxuan had just arrived at the team headquarters when she heard the sound of the radio. A meeting was about to start. After a while, the captain took the loudspeaker and said, "Is everyone here?"
The people below said, "Captain, you should tell us now, and then we can get to work."
Captain 꺶 said, "You are pretending to be serious. You are as slow as an ant when you are working, and now you are in a hurry."
"The first one is the people who built the house for Tianyun girl. Those of you who signed up must start building it after you finish the work. She is waiting to live in it."
"By the way, I want to tell you that two people from the educated youth camp also want to build houses. You can help them build theirs after you finish building Yun's house."
"They estimate that there will be a lot of people who want to build a place soon. Those of you who haven't signed up can come and sign up with me, but if you want to work hard and don't want to be cunning and sly, don't come."
"The same goes for wages. There's no food either. It's 70 cents a day. The people below are very excited to hear this good news. They can make a few more dollars."
"They all rushed to say, 'Captain, I want to sign up, I want to sign up,' Captain said, 'Stop, don't be in a hurry, come one by one.'"
"Also, you know what your daily tasks are, so I don't need to explain it to you."
Captain 꺶 looked at the people below and said, "Tomorrow there will be a few new educated youth. You have to take care of them. What if they don't know wheat seedlings and pull them out? What will you eat then?"
Mrs. Zhao said, "Captain 꺶, it's impossible. Aren't all educated youth very smart? Don't they even know Mai Miao?" Captain 꺶 said unhappily, "He came from the city. Isn't it normal that he hasn't seen this?"
Mrs. Zhao said, "I thought they were omnipotent and looked down on us rural people. It turns out there are things they don't know."
The old educated youths nearby were silent when they heard what Mrs. Zhao said, and they all lowered their heads. They did look down on the rural people when they first came here, but it was not until they came here that they realized how difficult it was for the rural people to live.
Just when those people were about to say something, there was a noise. Captain 꺶 asked, "What's going on? Someone said that the butcher Zhang came to ask for the return of Mrs. He. Didn't Mrs. He sell Yun to the butcher Zhang before? She accepted the betrothal gift from him, but now he's here to ask for her return."
Captain 꺶 said, "This is ridiculous. Now that the relationship has been severed, you still dare to come to my house and tell me that selling people is illegal. Doesn't he know that?"
Captain 꺶 brought the young men in the team, as well as Xia Yunxuan, to Grandma He's house. Captain 꺶 said, "Butcher Zhang, let alone the fact that the little girl is no longer related to them, even if they are not related, buying people is still illegal. Don't you know that?"
"Captain 꺶 looked at Mrs. He again and said, 'You have accepted the betrothal money, so return it to them as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for anything that happens. It is absolutely impossible for Miss Yun to marry into the family if 꿯正想."
Butcher Zhang said, "I don't care. Old lady Zheng He has to send the person back to me after she takes my money. 500 yuan is not a small amount. I can't let my money go to waste. Otherwise, my knife will only see human blood." Butcher Zhang said, holding the butcher knife in his hand.
"Captain 꺶 said, Butcher Zhang, you don't need to scare people here. If you dare to commit a crime here, do you think you can still get away?"
"You really think no one can control you in broad daylight. You can't be a vegetarian if you are a policeman. Old lady He took your money, so you can go to Old Lady He. I won't allow you to follow Miss Yun's idea. She has severed her relationship with that family and is no longer a family with them."
"Otherwise I will ask someone to report to the police and see who is right when they come. This is a new era and it is not acceptable to arrange marriages and trade in human beings. You are violating the law."
Old lady He said, "I don't care. I took the money anyway, so why should I return it? Isn't it better to let that damn girl marry and enjoy a good life? The money is in my hand, so why should I take it out?"
There were actually 500 yuan left. Xia Yunxuan was thinking, she would do her work tonight and get back the jade pendant that belonged to her. Since Old Lady He had taken other people's money, it wouldn't be too much for her to help use it. After all, this was money collected in her name. Look, she was really a good person and a filial granddaughter. She was afraid that her grandmother had money but was reluctant to spend it. What if it was dragged away by a rat?
When Butcher Zhang heard Captain Wang said he was going to call the police, he was actually a little nervous. He didn't want his second half to be ruined for a woman, so he pretended to be angry and said, "It's Old Lady He who took my money. Either give it to me personally or return my money. I'll go to Old Lady He instead of anyone else."
"Captain 꺶 said, I hope you keep your word. Many people in our village are not vegetarians. Don't think we will be afraid just because you hold a knife to scare people."
As the captain left, he said angrily, "Auntie, you took someone's money and returned it to them as soon as possible. What a shame! If you don't return the money, your family will move out of our Heung Shue Bay Team. Don't think I'm trying to scare you. If you don't believe me, try it yourself."
Captain 꺶 led the villagers and Xia Yunxuan away. After the others had gone far away, Butcher Zhang 꺳 said, "Old lady He, what do you mean by this matter? Do you want to return the money or find someone to give it to me? I can't lose both my money and my life."
Mrs. He was also frightened, but there was really nothing she could do. Taking the five hundred yuan out of her hand would be like digging into her flesh.
With her eyes rolling, she had another bad idea. Old Lady He said, "Don't worry, Butcher Zhang. I'll give that little bitch to you tonight. When her innocence is ruined by you, she'll have to marry him even if she doesn't want to."
Butcher Zhang said, "You are telling the truth. If you dare to lie to me again, I don't mind letting you lose some arms and legs."
Mrs. He said, "Of course this is true. You can wait until the evening."
