Chapter 83 Not Only Money
The three of them were terrified by this, and they looked at each other and shook their heads very gently to deny it. They all looked at Xiong Quanzi again. Logically, they shouldn't leak the news. Could it be that she was just guessing?
"Xiong Quanzi! My name is Xiong Quanzi, not Xiong Xiazi!" The person lying on the ground and performing hard couldn't help but shouted angrily.
"Shut up, I'll talk to you later," An Zhixia picked up something and threw it at the man. It turned out to be a small basket with a lid. The lid fell off, and the things inside also poured all over Xiong Quanzi.
Before everyone could see clearly, those things actually grew wings and flew around in panic, and wherever they went, an unbearable fishy stench instantly filled the air!
It turned out to be a "fart bug"!
The scientific name of this "fart bug" is the nine-scented insect. Although it looks ugly and smells extremely bad wherever it goes, it is indeed a kind of medicinal material. In spring and summer, it is active frequently and likes to crawl on the stems and leaves of crops to suck the sap. If it is accidentally touched, it will emit an unpleasant smell to escape.
The children were not able to do heavy work, and were unwilling to work hard to cut grass for pigs to earn a few work points, so they tried all kinds of ways to make up for it. In spring and summer, finding "slap bugs" to sell to the supply and marketing cooperatives was the job of half of the children. One kilogram of "slap bugs" could earn five or six yuan. As long as they were diligent, they could collect enough money for their tuition.
The adults hid away in disgust, but the children laughed and hung the scarves around their necks, and continued to catch insects with their tools. But one little kid said to An Zhixia with a sad face: "Sister Xiao An, my 'bugs' have all flown away..."
Everyone couldn't hide the fact that the stench had made them look pale, and they couldn't even tell east from west or south. It was a chaotic mess. Those with weak stomachs even covered their mouths and ran far away to hug a tree and vomit. It turned out that watching the excitement had to pay a price. If they had known this, they might as well go home and drink some water to fill their stomachs before coming out to find out the news.
But An Zhixia seemed to have lost her sense of smell. She waved away the oncoming bugs with a piece of paper in her hand, and took out a handful of candies from her pocket with a faint smile. "I'm sorry, I'll give you candies as compensation. See which kid is willing to trade some bugs with you?"
The little fellow burst into laughter, holding the candies in both paws, and after counting them carefully, he said shyly, "Sister Xiaoan, you gave me too much."
"It's okay, this is my apology to you." Under his nose was the purified fresh air from the supermarket, with a very light tea fragrance. Looking at the embarrassed look of the big guy, An Zhixia felt refreshed and her smile became brighter.
After the "bugs" were driven away or caught, the guys were even more reluctant to move. Anyway, they had nothing to do that night and they were not planning to eat. Standing here and watching the fun might help them feel less hungry.
Qi Yunlan's face was filled with sadness. "Xiao An Zhiqing, I didn't expect you to think of us this way. Regardless of whether what happened before was right or wrong, Chen Zhiqing and I have compensated you for your losses. Later, you found the lost items and money, so we should settle the accounts anyway."
"So you teamed up with Cui Tianhao and Blind Xiong to retaliate against me? I told you, I'm a good person. I'm wholeheartedly working for the development of the commune and the happiness of the people. I can't even kill an ant by riding my bike so slowly, but I can break someone's leg?" An Zhixia understood everything.
"My name is Xiong Quanzi, Xiong Quanzi, Xiong Quanzi, not Blind Xiong!"
Everyone looked at Qi Yunlan with disgust and resentment. They just wanted her to accept some punishment, but they dared to retaliate openly. If Xiao An, the educated youth, hadn't seen through it, wouldn't they have succeeded?
Qi Yunlan was choked, she hadn't finished her words yet! First, she wanted to clear her bad reputation and stop doing dirty and heavy work, and second, she wanted to express her generosity and kindness to get rid of suspicion. This was interrupted by An Zhixia, who took it out of context, which backfired!
"No, I," Qi Yunlan quickly waved her hands to explain.
Could An Zhixia give her a chance?
"You guys really had a good plan," she sneered and said quickly, "If I'm not mistaken, the blind bear's activity area coincides with where you collect manure, so you sold me out to avoid harassment. In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, you also brought in the Cui family, who also had a grudge against me, and used his bicycle to leave tire tracks on the blind bear's legs, and then tried to extort money from me!"
This guy has a very good brain and he actually found out the truth!
The four people's brains froze for a moment, but they then suspected that there was a traitor among their own people. Otherwise, An Zhixia would not have guessed it so accurately.
"You are slandering me. Who else is as cunning as you? It's good that you don't scheme against others. How is it possible that others go through so much trouble just to scheme against you!" Chen Sike lost his temper and shouted angrily.
"You have always been at odds with me, and this is a well-known fact. Then Chen Zhiqing, can you explain why you just spoke for me so flatteringly? And there was a hint of Qi Zhiqing's words?" An Zhixia crossed her arms and asked with a sneer. "What do you mean by 'Xiao An Zhiqing rode the bike a little too hard, but she knew her limits and should have braked suddenly. At most, you would have scratched your skin.' It seemed like she was speaking for me, but it actually proved that I hit someone." She imitated Chen Sike's demeanor and tone, and even the words were exactly the same, which gave goose bumps to those who heard it a second time.
Chen Sike had been in Hetang Village for several years. Even though she was not close to the villagers, as a former warehouse manager, everyone had a deep understanding of her temper and speaking style. Naturally, they could tell that this was not something Chen Sike could say!
"I, I've been with Qi Zhiqing for a long time, so is it okay for me to learn to be more polite?" Chen Sike is not good at speaking and could only utter these words.
"You are really good at flattering yourself and calling yourself polite. Then you should have omitted the word scum, right?"
Verbal arguments were not their strong point. Cui Tianhao gave Xiong Quanzi a look, and the stunned Xiong Quanzi's eyes glowed green. He licked his lips, his face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Ouch, my legs really can't move, female comrade, I'm a rough guy, I don't understand your twists and turns, but so many people saw you knock me over, no matter what, you have to go to the hospital with me!
Let's go and film a movie. Don't worry, if I'm fine, we'll just be friends. If my leg is broken, you'll pay for the medical expenses, and you'll have to give me 3,000 yuan for mental damages and lost wages, and take care of me for another three months. We'll just let this go."
Three thousand yuan, Xiong Quanzi was really bold to ask for it, and everyone couldn't help but look at An Zhixia with sympathy. It seemed that this man knew that the An family was rich, so he deliberately came to the door to blackmail them. For three thousand yuan, he was willing to break his leg first and then frame her!
Obviously, Xiong Quanzi not only wants money, but also people.
