Luo Zixi never expected that her actions would have some interesting effects on the world.
She went straight to sleep as soon as she got back to her room last night.
She has a great appetite, is in excellent health, and sleeps exceptionally well!
She got up early the next morning and went to find the village secretary.
Moreover, she brought a gift with her.
After all, when you need someone to do something for you, you have to know some of the rules.
No matter how strong she is, she can't escape the crowd.
This Crescent Mountain Brigade is where she will be staying for a long time to come, so it's still very necessary to maintain good relations with the village secretary.
It might come in handy sometime.
The village party secretary was startled when he saw Luo Zixi arrive.
This girl caused quite a stir yesterday, and now that things have calmed down, she's in trouble again?
The village secretary's wife was also taken aback. She knew Luo Zixi's formidable fighting ability and was worried that she might cause some trouble again.
Liu Erzhu, the village secretary's second son who had never met Luo Zixi before, was speechless when he saw her stunningly beautiful appearance.
The amazement in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest.
However, Liu Erzhu soon received a slap from his own mother:
"Are you bored after eating? Hurry up and fill the water tank! Then get ready to go to work."
"What are you doing standing there, you clueless bastard?"
Well, Aunt Liu really showed the fierce and shrewish side of a rural woman.
Of course, the village secretary's wife was also doing it for her son's own good.
Those hooligans from yesterday were beaten to a pulp just for glancing at Luo Zixi a few times; they're too ashamed to show their faces today.
If their own son were beaten into a pig's head because of this, how wronged they would feel!
To be honest, Luo Zixi would definitely dare to do that, and they wouldn't even be able to justify it.
However, when Aunt Liu saw that Luo Zixi had brought half a bag of brown sugar, she immediately knew that the girl had something to ask of her.
Didn't everyone say that Luo Zhiqing was a bit of a wild child? It seems she's not entirely ignorant after all.
Sure enough, Luo Zixi said with a smile:
"Auntie, you've raised your son so well, it's this one!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to give Aunt Liu a thumbs up.
"Oh dear, what skills do I have? Unlike you, Luo Zhiqing, who is not only good-looking but also very capable."
“Zixi, I know you’re a good girl. My dog sometimes doesn’t know his place, so please don’t take it to heart.”
"If he ever makes you unhappy in the future, you don't even need to lift a finger; I'll deal with him right away!"
Aunt Liu was afraid that her second son wouldn't learn his lesson or grow up smart enough to realize how formidable Luo Zixi was.
If we really get beaten up, things will get complicated.
Therefore, it's best to give Luo Zixi a heads-up beforehand.
They don't seem to be unreasonable...
Hearing Aunt Liu's words, Luo Zixi said with a forced smile:
"Hehe, no problem, no problem. But Auntie, I'm here to see the village secretary about something."
"I just moved to a new place, which is practically bare. I brought some bedding, pots and pans, and other daily necessities from my old home. I can actually live on my own now."
"Everything else is fine, but we really can't bring the furniture."
"I see that there are many trees on the hill behind our brigade, so I was wondering if we could cut down a few trees to make furniture?"
"Don't worry, I won't take it for free, I'll pay you."
These days, places like the back hills are collective property. Nobody says anything when people gather firewood, since everyone does it.
Winters in Northeast China can be freezing cold; if you don't prepare firewood in advance, it'll be a nightmare to start preparing it as soon as winter arrives.
We also need firewood for cooking.
So that's how everyone got through it.
But if you go and cut down trees directly, you're likely to be reported if someone sees you doing so.
Actually, she could have done it all without anyone noticing; having a private space would have been incredibly convenient.
But if that's the case, she would have a hard time explaining the furniture that appeared out of nowhere.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is still necessary to report it first.
Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, the village secretary finally felt relieved.
As long as they're not here to cause trouble, then everything is negotiable.
Moreover, they even brought gifts.
Although it's not much, brown sugar is still a rare commodity these days.
After all, money is relatively easy to obtain, but sugar coupons are not.
However, the village secretary dared not accept Luo Zixi's gift, for who knows what trouble might arise later.
Therefore, he quickly declined:
"That's easy to discuss, but if you take this back, won't that embarrass me?"
"It's just a small thing, and you even sent me something? If word gets out, how will I fare?"
Luo Zixi smiled upon hearing this:
"Secretary, this brown sugar isn't for you, it's for the children."
"This is my first time visiting someone's home, shouldn't I bring the child a small gift? That would be too impolite."
"However, I'm new here and don't have anything good, so I'll just have to make do with this brown sugar."
"It's nothing valuable, just something for the kids to enjoy."
Luo Zixi disdained this back-and-forth politeness; she simply shoved it into the village secretary's wife's hand without a word, and that was it.
Aunt Liu admired Luo Zixi even more at this moment. Although Luo Zixi had a bit of a temper, she was really a good girl.
It's a pity that the Liu family couldn't handle it. She wanted to live a few more years, so it's best not to provoke them.
