"Captain, I'd like to talk to you about something."
When Yang Caihong said this, she looked at Lu Yuan. The meaning was self-evident: she hoped he could leave for a moment.
Lu Yuan didn't pretend not to understand her meaning, and said quite frankly,
“Yang Zhiqing, if you have something to say, just tell the brigade leader directly. Don’t make it seem like you’re hiding something, or it will damage his reputation.”
Yang Caihong choked, this scoundrel is really annoying.
She rolled her eyes at him, raised her chin, and said firmly, "I have nothing to hide."
“Captain, I’ll be frank then. Our brigade doesn’t have a scorekeeper yet. Since I came to the brigade, I’ve always been hardworking, diligent, and cooperative with the other members. I’m very serious about my work. I believe I’m capable of doing the job of a scorekeeper, and I hope the captain can give me this opportunity to serve the people.”
Tsk tsk, what a thick skin. Even Lu Yuan wouldn't dare to boast like that.
Lu Guoan's face twitched as he listened.
Just as he was about to refuse, saying the job was already taken, he heard Lu Yuan say,
"Yang, the educated youth, came here to sign up for the job of scorekeeper, just like me."
Upon hearing this, Yang Caihong became anxious.
Is this scoundrel here to ask for this job?
Did the captain agree to his request?
They're relatives, and the brigade leader takes good care of this scoundrel; he might actually give him the job.
No, she won't agree.
“Captain, Comrade Lu usually doesn’t come to work and is passive and uncooperative. You can’t give him the job just because he’s your cousin. The job of a scorekeeper requires someone who is meticulous and literate, and I’m afraid Comrade Lu is not up to the task.”
Lu Yuan scoffed, "Yang Zhiqing, you don't need to make things difficult for the brigade leader. I really can't do this job, but my wife can."
Yang Caihong's heart skipped a beat. If it was Wen Moxue, then wouldn't she have no hope?
No, she still wouldn't agree.
“Captain, you can’t just give this job away privately because you’re relatives. Every member should have equal opportunities and treatment.”
Lu Yuan nodded solemnly, "Yang Zhiqing is absolutely right. The brigade leader just said the same thing."
Yang Caihong was taken aback. So the captain hadn't agreed to let this scoundrel make Wen Moxue the scorekeeper?
Lu Yuan seemed to see her confusion and added, "The captain just told me that the job of the scorekeeper is very important, and we can't just appoint anyone. He wants to observe for a while before making a decision."
Yang Caihong was overjoyed, for this meant she still had hope.
As for Wen Moxue...
Hmph, even if it's not her turn, this job absolutely cannot be given to her.
After the man left, Lu Guoan asked suspiciously, "What are you up to, kid?"
Lu Yuan grinned. "Uncle, can I talk to you about something?"
Lu Guoan was wary. "Let me tell you, don't try anything funny with me."
"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"
"Who are you!"
"Uncle, you don't understand me at all. We have to have a good chat today so you can have a new understanding of me."
Lu Guoan raised his hand to stop him, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, get to the point."
Lu Yuan organized his thoughts before speaking.
"Uncle, don't let anyone know that you've left the scorekeeper job to my wife for now."
Why?
"It's possible that my wife really doesn't need it."
Lu Guoan frowned. "Don't worry about what people say. If your wife can't handle the job of a scorekeeper, I won't give it to her. As long as this job isn't for you, I don't care what others say."
Lu Yuan: ......
Why does this feel a bit harsh?
“Uncle, I’m not worried about what people will say, I just have other plans. If there’s another easier job later, my wife won’t take this one, you can give it to Yang Zhiqing.”
Lu Guoan sneered, "If your wife won't do this job, I'm not going to give it to Yang Zhiqing either. That person is dishonest and has too many ulterior motives."
Lu Yuan thought to himself, "It's precisely because she has wicked intentions that I'm making her do this job."
"Uncle, you must give her this job."
"Why? What are you planning?"
Lu Yuan chuckled mischievously and then revealed his thoughts.
"Uncle, you'll have to help me with this."
Lu Guoan stared at him for a long time before coughing lightly.
"Oh dear, my hearing isn't good when I get old. I didn't hear a single word you said."
He then left with his hands behind his back.
Lu Yuan's smile widened; this uncle was someone he could get along with.
As long as he cooperates and turns a blind eye, Yang Caihong can probably keep going until after the autumn harvest.
He had originally planned to use the same methods he had employed to deal with Sun Changsheng, framing him to eliminate this cancer, but now he had found a better way.
There's no need to frame her; just dig a pit, exploit her wicked nature, and wait for someone to fall into it.
In a good mood, he left the brigade headquarters. When he passed by the Lu family's house, he remembered the powder and decided to go in anyway.
Apart from Lu Xiaoqin, who was cooking, no one else was home.
Lu Guoqing and Lu Xiaojun went up the mountain to chop firewood.
Lu Xiaofang was sent to tidy up her private plot.
"Big brother, did you find out what that powder is? Is it poison? I don't even dare let my sister cook at home anymore."
Although she felt that it was more likely that her older sister wanted to poison her older brother, she didn't dare let her older sister touch the kitchen just in case.
I just feel very uneasy.
Lu Yuan nodded, "That's an aphrodisiac used when breeding pigs."
"What?"
Lu Xiaoqin realized what was happening and her face began to burn.
