Lu Guoan stood there with his hands behind his back, glanced at Sun Maodou twice, and then got on the tractor with a stern face.
What's this kid up to? Is he trying to spread rumors about him?
They need to be disciplined!
Fortunately, no one else was around, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to explain himself even if he had a mouth all over his body.
But that was just what he thought. After the tractor drove away, a person came out from around the corner. It was none other than Lin Xiaofang, who was supposed to be working in the cowshed.
He stared at the tractor as it sputtered away, standing amidst the billowing smoke, his face filled with astonishment.
Originally, she had followed the team leader to talk about the sales clerk position, feeling that there was no need for open selection for this position, as she was perfectly capable of handling it.
But who knew that after arriving, they would overhear such a huge secret from the captain.
It turned out that he went to the commune every day not for official business, but under the guise of meeting the commune leaders to meet his lover.
The battalion commander was having an affair!
Good heavens, how could someone who seems so honest and upright be having an affair? Just thinking about it makes her excited; this is a huge weakness.
A malicious smile appeared on her face. With this leverage over her, she was sure she wouldn't lose the sales clerk position.
Lu Guoan brought back a set of test papers from the commune. The test questions were not difficult, just some simple math problems and a few political questions, mainly some quotations.
There were seven or eight people who signed up, all of them were educated youth sent to the countryside. Hongxia naturally signed up as well.
No one expected Hongxia to sign up, and they immediately understood why she had quit her job at the rabbit farm—she was waiting for this.
With her signing up, the other educated youths suddenly felt that their hopes were slim.
Lin Xiaofang was even more grateful that she knew Lu Guoan's secret.
The day before the exam, she finally managed to get a chance to meet Lu Guoan alone.
These past two days, whenever she had free time, she would wander around the area near the brigade leader's house, hoping to find an opportunity to meet Lu Guoan alone. Today, she didn't know if she was lucky or not, but as soon as she arrived, she saw Lu Guoan leaving the house, and she followed him all the way to the brigade headquarters.
Seeing that only Lu Guoan was inside, she walked in without any hesitation.
"Captain, I need to talk to you about something."
Lu Guoan lifted his eyelids, saw it was her, and frowned. "What is it?"
Lin Xiaofang didn't beat around the bush, "I want to be a sales clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative. I hope the team leader will grant my request."
Lu Guoan looked at her in surprise, sizing her up and down. He couldn't help but wonder if she was sick. Why did she ask him for the job with such a self-righteous attitude, as if he owed her something and had to give it to her?
“Lin Zhiqing, I’ve already said that this is an open exam, and then three people will be selected through a vote. If you want this job, you should prepare well for the exam.”
Lin Xiaofang said, "I know. Then please give me a test paper and answers first. When I get a perfect score and get first place, the brigade leader can then lead the other members of the brigade to select me."
Lu Guoan was almost speechless with shock at her words. What was she doing? Where did this person get the confidence to say such a thing to him? She must really be suffering from some serious illness.
“Lin Zhiqing, our selection process is fair and just. If you try to cheat, I will disqualify you from the competition.”
"Cancel my registration? Ha~" Lin Xiaofang scoffed.
"Captain, have you thought this through? If you do this, I can't guarantee I'll keep your secret."
"Secret? What secret could I possibly have?" Lu Guoan asked, puzzled.
My mind raced. Having lived most of my life, I realized that there were only three things that could be considered secrets.
The first thing is that my family was so poor when I was a child that we didn't even have a pair of tattered pants. When I was seven or eight years old, I was still running around the village with my bare bottom exposed.
Actually, many children in the village are like this, but the problem is that his penis is bigger than the other children's. There is a shameless old widow in the village who always jokes that his future wife is lucky. That's not all, but once when no one was around, the old widow actually grabbed him.
At the time, I didn't think much of it, but as I grew older and more sensible, I felt ashamed.
Let's consider this his first secret.
The second secret is that before getting married, he secretly had a crush on the young lady from the landlord's family. That young lady was really beautiful, fair-skinned, and well-educated. Every time he saw her, he would blush and his heart would race.
But in the end, her family suffered a disaster, and she hanged herself.
Alas, beauty is often short-lived. He even secretly offered sacrifices to her afterward.
However, he was the only one who knew about this, and he had never mentioned it to anyone else. It was impossible for others to know.
The third secret is...
No one else could possibly know this, and his wife would never tell anyone else.
Lu Guoan believed that he only had these three secrets, and that no one else could possibly know them, so Lin Xiaofang was probably just bluffing him about the secrets.
He thought she would be scared after saying that. Humph, as long as others don't know his three secrets, he's perfectly upright. What's there for him to be afraid of!
Thinking this, he straightened his back and looked at Lin Xiaofang with disdain.
Lin Xiaofang was infuriated by his attitude. She had already said that she knew his secret, yet he still had this expression. Was he really not afraid that she would reveal his secret to others?
Hmph, since that's the case, she'll lay her cards on the table and see if he's scared.
"Captain, have you thought this through? If you give me the sales clerk job, I'll keep your affairs in the commune a secret. If you don't, then I won't be able to keep my mouth shut."
"What the heck? A lover?"
Lu Guoan thought he was hallucinating. When did he get a lover in the commune?
What is all this nonsense? If you want to fabricate a story, at least come up with a believable excuse.
etc!
A lover in the commune?
Could it be that he heard Maodou's careless words and thought that every time he went to the commune, he was actually having a secret rendezvous with a non-existent old lover?
Absurd, utterly absurd!
“Lin Zhiqing, you must speak with evidence, don’t just believe everything you hear. If you ruin my reputation, I will not let it go, I will definitely report you to the commune.”
Lin Xiaofang rolled her eyes. Sue him? Does he have the guts? Isn't he afraid the police will find out he's having an affair?
Hmph, who are you trying to scare!
"Captain, don't think you can scare me with those words. I'm not easily intimidated. If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me. What I said is the truth."
"Facts? So Lin Zhiqing has evidence?"
Evidence? Where did you get the evidence?
But she has witnesses.
“Although I have no evidence, I have witnesses, and Sun Maodou can testify.”
Sure enough, it was this brat's foul mouth that caused the trouble.
"Fine, then let's call Maodou over for a face-to-face confrontation."
"That's not necessary," Lin Xiaofang said.
A face-to-face confrontation would be useless; Sun Maodou would definitely not stand on her side.
Besides, her goal wasn't to make a scene; she just wanted the sales clerk position, so it wasn't wise to escalate the situation.
If things escalate, it will be a lose-lose situation; the other party won't benefit, and I certainly won't get the job either.
There's no need to make a scene unless absolutely necessary.
