After Wang Fulin finished speaking, no one around him objected, and everyone waited quietly for Wang Lan to make her choice.
Wang Lan knew that once she was sent back to the educated youth office, she would definitely face going to a farm, but she also felt that even if she stayed here, it wouldn't be much better.
The villagers never really liked her before, and now this incident of being groped by a homeless man has happened. Most importantly, she publicly spread rumors about her benefactor, but failed...
She couldn't even imagine the whispers and pointing fingers she would have to endure if she stayed in the village and just took a few steps.
However, the conditions on the farm were notoriously poor, and in this area, unless a young intellectual had made a mistake, they would generally not be sent to the farm.
If she chooses to go directly to the farm, it would be tantamount to telling everyone outright that she was abandoned after making a big mistake here.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to stay.
"Captain, I... I want to stay."
Wang Fulin was not surprised by her choice at all, but he also noticed that there was no remorse on her face, only anger at her current situation.
"Okay, I can give you this chance to stay. But I'm telling you beforehand, this is the last chance."
If you do something similar again and anger the public, you will have no choice but to pack up and send you back to the commune.
And during your time at the brigade, I will not hide anything from you about your past, do you understand?
Wang Lan knew the captain's tone wouldn't be very pleasant, and she was still somewhat annoyed by his genuinely unpleasant tone, but she dared not speak out.
"I understand, Captain. I will remember it."
Wang Fulin didn't really trust her, but he didn't think it mattered. He figured if there was a next time, he would overcome all difficulties to get rid of her.
"Fine, since that's the case, then you'd better prepare to apologize!"
"Oh, and about cleaning the pigsty? What a coincidence, your Aunt Xiuyu is currently cleaning it. Ask her to teach you; it'll be your turn to clean it for the next six months."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lan froze instantly.
She had initially thought that someone else would be cleaning the pigsty, and that she would try to curry favor with that person to see if she could do less work.
Who would have thought it would be Wang Xiuyu? What a twist of fate!
She was on the verge of going crazy, while Wang Xiuyu was secretly delighted.
That's right, she did it on purpose. If it were any other job, she might not be able to make things difficult for Wang Lan, but cleaning the pigsty gave her a chance to teach Wang Lan a lesson.
After all, it was Wang Xiuyu who was raising the pigs.
After confirming that Wang Lan had agreed, Wang Xiuyu didn't press the matter further. She smiled "kindly" at her and said that she would definitely teach and take good care of her.
Afterwards, Wang Xiuyu accepted the public apologies from Zhu Pandi and Wang Lan, and after witnessing the team members take the homeless man to the commune, she left with peace of mind.
Wang Lan and Zhu Pandi, on the other hand, need to stay behind to receive criticism and education from the brigade leader and the villagers.
In the boring winter, gossip spreads the fastest, so in less than half a day, Zhu Pandi and Wang Lan became famous in the team once again.
Even before the brigade leader had gone home, Tian Haiying heard about it on her way to invite them to make sticky rice cakes, and rushed over to find them.
