After thinking about it, Lu Yuan agreed with their idea.
"Well, it's good to have your wife quit her job. I happen to have an easy position for her, but the salary probably won't be as high as before."
He suddenly realized that the supply and marketing cooperative was about to be established, and there was no suitable person for the sales clerk position. If Hongxia could quit her job as the deputy director of the rabbit farm, she would be the perfect person to be the sales clerk.
In the future, this supply and marketing cooperative will inevitably not only sell the goods supplied by the higher authorities. If the higher authorities cannot supply enough or there is a shortage of materials, it will make up for it. Therefore, there will be two sets of ledgers.
This requires an extremely reliable person from within the company to act as the salesperson.
His wife wouldn't do it, his mother wasn't a registered resident of the village and wasn't suitable, and the other reliable people either already had jobs or were illiterate and couldn't keep accounts.
If Hong Xia could extricate herself from the rabbit farm, she would undoubtedly be the best candidate.
But He Shenghua and Hong Xia refused without even hearing what the position was.
"Thank you, Yuan. I know you mean well for us, but there's no need to arrange another position for us."
Lu Yuan said, "It's not entirely for you guys, but mainly because your wife is the most suitable. If your wife is capable, it will also be a help to us."
"This? Tell me first." He Shenghua hesitated.
"You've probably heard about our brigade's plan to set up a supply and marketing cooperative, but we still haven't found any sales clerks..."
"No, this is a hot commodity, let's leave it for someone else." Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, He Shenghua refused.
Lu Yuan said, "You don't have to refuse outright. Let me finish what I have to say first."
Then Lu Yuan explained the ins and outs of the situation to the two of them.
"Therefore, this person must be one of our own."
“But if that happens, I guess everyone will have objections. Maybe I should quit my job and let my wife take the sales clerk job,” He Shenghua said.
Lu Yuan glanced at him sideways. "Alright, if you quit your job at the farm, who do you think could take over? Who can do it as well as you right now?"
He Shenghua fell silent. It wasn't that he was arrogant; looking at the entire brigade, there really wasn't anyone who could replace him.
“That’s the decision. But I’m sure some people will have objections. I’ll propose a public vote. With my support and that of the brigade cadres, your wife should be elected without much trouble.”
Back at the rabbit farm, Lu Guoan asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"
"Captain, He Shenghua and Hong Xia are bullying people just because they are leaders of the rabbit farm."
Lin Xiaofang filed a false accusation first.
"Isn't the New Year just around the corner? The educated youth group is discussing celebrating the New Year together, and we'll also take some time to go shopping for New Year's goods together, otherwise the roads will be too difficult to travel when the snow is too heavy."
“We thought that although they were married, they were still educated youth, so we kindly invited them.”
"Who knew that when we came here today, Hongxia was very unfriendly to us. She only said a few words before she started to rudely chase us away and shoved us to get out. In the end, she was not careful and fell, and then she blamed us for it."
Everyone frowned as they listened, and someone said, "No way, I think Deputy Director Hong is usually quite kind, not this fierce."
Lin Xiaofang snorted, "That was before. Now they're something else. They married He Zhiqing, and they're both leaders at the breeding farm. They ignore us educated youths and look down on this one and that one."
"Nonsense!" He Shenghua retorted angrily.
“You came here today purely to cause trouble. You asked me, after Hongxia got the money from selling the rabbits back, whether my husband and I, as the farm manager and deputy farm manager, could secretly take a lot more money.”
"They even questioned whether my husband and I secretly killed rabbits to eat, saying that with so many rabbits, we could kill a few without anyone noticing. Hongxia got angry and kicked you out because she heard you deliberately slandering her."
“You refused to leave, so she gently pushed you twice, but you took the opportunity to deliberately retaliate and pushed her hard to the ground.”
"Oh dear, everyone heard that. I was just asking a couple of questions out of curiosity. Who knows if Hong Zhiqing was feeling guilty and angry when she pushed me. I didn't start it, and I didn't fight back. She fell by accident, so she can't blame it on me."
“You did it on purpose, we all saw it, we can testify,” Aunt Trumpet Flower said.
"Hmph, you all work here and fawn over that couple, of course you have to speak up for them," Lin Xiaofang sneered.
"Besides, it's not like you only have witnesses; I have witnesses on my side too."
As she spoke, she pointed to the two educated youths who had come with her and the little rascal from the brigade.
"Yes, yes, we were watching from the side. Hong Zhiqing pushed Lin Zhiqing first, and Lin Zhiqing just gently blocked Hong Zhiqing with her hand and then fell to the ground."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
“That’s right, I can be a witness too.”
The three of them spoke one after another, all testifying on behalf of Lin Xiaofang, which clearly showed that it was a plan they had prepared in advance.
The two sides were deadlocked, each with their own version of events and witnesses, leaving the brigade cadres quite troubled.
In fact, they knew that He Shenghua's words were highly credible, and that Lin Xiaofang and the others were doing it on purpose, but they just couldn't find any dirt on him, so it was difficult to handle the matter one-sidedly.
As Lu Guoan was considering how to start the conversation, Lu Yuan said, "In that case, let's call the police and have them interrogate us properly."
Everyone was stunned by these words, including He Shenghua and several brigade cadres.
For no other reason than that everyone knows that their brigade is going to be recognized as an advanced unit this year, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, given their brigade's performance this year, it's a sure thing.
