Chapter 13: Busy eating saliva?
Half an hour later, Xie Jiaojiao, holding Jiang Ye's hand, followed by a large group of men who came to watch the fun, walked towards the north end of the village where the team leader Jiang Tao went to work.
At the north end of the village, because the team leader Jiang Tao was working here today, everyone was less interested in gossiping and just focused on their work.
Of course, there is one exception.
That is Wang Lai Di’s man Jiang Mazi.
He hoeed the ground and loosened the soil for only a few minutes before he stopped to rest for a while, his eyes wandering around, trying to find someone to talk to about what happened at noon.
For example, is Xie Zhiqing really dating the rich man’s kid?
You say, why is she so depressed?
Even if you can't bear the hardship of working in the fields, you have to find someone with a clean background and who is kind and caring, just like him.
well……
Why was Xie Zhiqing so blind that he went looking for Jiang Ye?
Just as Jiang Mazi was sighing in distress, he suddenly caught sight of Xie Jiaojiao's pretty figure. He got so excited that he hit his foot with the hoe, and blood immediately flowed out.
Pianjiang Mazi seemed unaware and continued to stare at Xie Jiaojiao infatuatedly.
But the man working beside him, seeing him stop, took a curious look and exclaimed, "Ma Zi, your feet are bleeding!"
The cry was not loud, but the villagers all had sharp ears and heard it clearly, and they all turned their heads to look over here.
"Ma Zi, what are you thinking about?"
"I've been farming for over ten years, and now I'm letting my fellow farmers get their feet hit by me?"
…
The chatterbox that had been suppressed for a long time was turned on with the excuse of Jiang Mazi's injury. Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around Jiang Mazi, talking and joking.
When Jiang Tao saw this scene, his face darkened. He coughed lightly and asked the people who were forming a wall to disperse.
Then, he asked two strong young men to carry Jiang Mazi to the village doctor, Lao Lintou, for a checkup.
Jiang Mazi, who had been in a daze the entire time, struggled violently as he was being carried away. His struggle was futile. He pointed in the direction Xie Jiaojiao had come from and shouted in his hoarse voice, "Xie Zhiqing, how did you get here?"
This sound made everyone who had been working obediently turn their heads again and look towards the west end of the village in the direction Jiang Mazi pointed.
"Where's Xie Zhiqing? Why can't I see him?"
"Don't thank the educated youth, just look at that sea of heads. What happened?"
"Look, isn't that the tall guy leading the group Jiang Ye? Could it be that Jiang Ye is fighting with the workers at the north end of the village again?"
"It's possible. After all, it's not like we haven't done it before."
…
Jiang Tao listened to the chaotic chatter around him, frowning and shouting, "What are you arguing about? Everyone who has the energy to gossip, come and hoe another acre of land for me."
After that, the villagers shut up and dispersed.
Seeing this, Jiang Tao nodded with satisfaction.
He glanced at Jiang Mazi and said, "Why are you still standing there? Are you going to be happy only when all the blood is drained and someone dies?"
"Thanks……"
Before Jiang Mazi could finish his words, the two men, frightened by Jiang Tao's anger, covered their mouths and were taken away.
Jiang Tao had just finished scolding this side when Xie Jiaojiao and her group also walked over.
Before Jiang Tao could open his mouth to blame her, Xie Jiaojiao burst into tears.
"Captain, you have to make the decision for me."
Xie Jiaojiao held Jiang Ye's injured hand and spread it in front of Jiang Tao, saying with horror: "Jiang Xiu is taking revenge on me, deliberately making things difficult for me, and trying to kill me. If it weren't for my partner, I would have almost lost my life."
Jiang Tao's forehead throbbed when he heard Xie Jiaojiao's nonsensical words.
At this time, the people who followed, seeing the thrilling scene, turned into wonderful commentators, talking about it one after another.
"Captain, you didn't see it. That scene just now was so scary."
"That's right."
"That hoe flew off with a whoosh. If Jiang Ye hadn't stopped it, Xie Zhiqing's neck would have been pierced."
…
With everyone piecing together the information, and with Xie Jiaojiao's eloquent supplementary comments, Jiang Tao roughly figured out what was going on.
However, he did not arbitrarily convict Xie Jiaojiao just because she was the victim. Instead, he sent someone to call Jiang Xiu over.
When Jiang Xiu was called over, she was taking a nap under a tree. She was very angry because her sleep was disturbed.
"Dad, why are you looking for me? I'm busy!"
"Busy?" Jiang Tao kicked Jiang Xiu on the butt and snorted coldly, "Are you busy eating saliva?"
Jiang Xiu's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth. When she felt the wetness that had not yet dried, her arrogance suddenly weakened, and she called out weakly, "Dad, I'm just tired, I need to take a nap."
Matters have their own priorities. Jiang Tao gave Jiang Xiu a look that said, "I'll settle this with you when I get back." Then he asked, "Xie Zhiqing said you were giving her a hard time. Do you have anything to say in defense?"
After being kicked, Jiang Xiu's mind became much clearer. When she heard her father mention Xie Jiaojiao, she felt something was wrong.
Could it be that Xie Jiaojiao agreed nicely on the surface, but secretly complained to her father?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu quickly glanced around and, as expected, saw Xie Jiaojiao glaring at her.
As expected of an educated youth from the city, he has so many thoughts in his mind.
Jiang Xiu cursed Xie Jiaojiao in her heart, but because Jiang Tao was there, she had to force out an awkward smile.
"Dad, it's a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding!"
"What happened was, I wanted to play a joke on Xie Zhiqing this afternoon and deliberately told her to go work at the north end of the village. But Xie Zhiqing was such a sincere person that she turned around and left before I could finish my words."
Jiang Tao: "Then you let Xie Zhiqing go to the west end of the village?"
Jiang Xiu was embarrassed by her father's harassment, but she explained with a stiff upper lip: "Dad, I didn't think about it. If Xie Zhiqing couldn't do his job, would he come back? Besides, there were so many people around at that time, and I was so busy that I forgot about it. Dad..."
Jiang Xiu became more and more excited as she spoke, as if what she said was just a joke.
But she didn't notice that Jiang Tao's eyes were looking at her with growing disappointment and coldness.
A wise son is better than his father!
Jiang Xiu might be able to fool everyone by telling lies, but she couldn't fool Jiang Tao.
Pop.
A loud slap was heard.
Jiang Xiu was slapped, and the villagers watching the show were all stunned.
"Jiang Xiu, is this how I taught you to behave all these years? You've been telling lies all the time."
"Dad! I didn't!"
Jiang Tao pointed at the villagers watching the show around him with a cold tone.
"Do you want me to call out all the neighbors who saw this scene at work this afternoon, so that they can confront you?"
Jiang Xiu's face turned pale all of a sudden.
She knew that her father was a man of strong character who could not tolerate any injustice.
But she is his own daughter!
How could he help outsiders bully her?
Jiang Xiu also understood that since her father said this, no matter how much she refused to admit it, her father would definitely do it.
So, Jiang Xiuxin reluctantly apologized to Xie Jiaojiao.
"I'm sorry, Xie Zhiqing."
Unlike Jiang Xiu who couldn't see Jiang Tao's good intentions and felt resentful, Jiang Ye had a mocking smile on his face. He claimed to be fair, but in the end he was biased towards his own daughter.
Although Jiang Tao was willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice, he was also able to retreat in order to advance and save Jiang Xiu at the lowest cost.
No wonder he is ungrateful and sells out his master for personal gain.
Thinking of the past, Jiang Ye's eyes were filled with anger.
Suddenly, Jiang Ye's big hand was pulled away, and Xie Jiaojiao's voice of protecting her child sounded in his ears.
