"Thank you, brother!"
"Sister, when will it be possible for me to get a wife by doing this?" Li Weimin poured water in, rubbed the clothes in his hands with ash and looked at her.
"It's almost there. You have to hold on and make doing housework a habit. You don't want people to say that the advantage you are proud of is a deception!" Tian Xiaolan said as she analyzed it for him.
"Just wait, it won't be long before a lot of matchmakers come looking for you! Then you can take your time to choose."
Li Weimin usually has to wash clothes at night when he goes to work, so he doesn't waste any time, but he is really tired.
He listened to what she said but he didn't like being arranged, "Why do you want matchmaking?"
"Because some girls find it difficult to speak up, they let others speak." In this era, many people are introduced by relatives, and this is still the case in modern times.
"Then why should I marry her? She doesn't even dare to talk to me. I just want to marry her and keep her as a worshipper!" Li Weimin expressed his thoughts.
"..." What he said made so much sense that she found it hard to refute it.
Tian Xiaolan tried to reason with him: "It would be embarrassing if you are not familiar with each other. You can get along slowly and get to know each other through chatting."
Li Weimin looked at her with disbelief.
"I don't like this." Few of the arranged marriages he saw in the village were happy. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life with someone he had no topics to talk about and who didn't love each other. What was the difference between that and going to jail?
Listening to Li Weimin's ideas, I didn't expect that he had such a progressive mindset. Nowadays, marriages are arranged by parents, so no one cares whether you are willing or not.
In the 21st century, his age is still adventurous, but here he seems to be an older bachelor. Fortunately, Aunt Guihua and Uncle Weiguo did not arrange a marriage for him or urge him to get married soon.
"Okay, if you have someone you like, you can tell me and I'll help you with some advice."
"Sister, my life is depending on you!"
"Leave it to me." Tian Xiaolan said with a smile.
Before they finished their conversation, a middle-aged man in a white shirt rode a bicycle to the gate of their yard and asked if this was Li Weiguo.
"It's Li Weiguo. Who are you looking for?" Li Weimin looked at him warily, not knowing what he was here for.
"Is there someone named Tian Xiaolan in your family?" Shi Shichang looked at the girl and the man washing clothes in the yard. The name Wei Wenjie told him was obviously a girl's. He looked at Tian Xiaolan.
"What do you want to see her for?" Li Weimin became even more wary of him, not even bothering to wash his clothes, and was about to close the door.
"Don't get me wrong, I just came to her to find out some things, it's nothing serious!" Shi Shichang said, holding the door with his hand.
"Let him in!" Tian Xiaolan was waiting for this moment.
"Why did you spread those words? What good will it do for you?" Shi Shichang looked at her. She was obviously a young girl, but she could think of such a method. It was hard for people to just sit back and watch.
Tian Xiaolan poured him a glass of water and said calmly: "Ordinary people like us want to see you."
"You even dare to spread rumors about the county magistrate. Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"
"What rumors did I spread? I was telling the truth! Isn't the county magistrate Bao Qingtian?" Even if Tian Xiaolan saw it, she had no power and influence. Even if she told the villagers, no one would believe her.
As for the upper levels, she is even harder to see, and she
"Are you saying that they cheated? What evidence do you have?" He was skeptical about what the children said. After all, he couldn't just listen to one side of the story.
"I have evidence. On the day of the exam, many candidates saw Chen Dong and Yang Xi absent. However, their test papers appeared in your office. And on the night of the exam, someone saw them meeting and passing papers." Tian Xiaolan analyzed everything from the cause to the effect. "My test papers and Wang Xiu'er's test papers have disappeared again. Today at Tianshui Shop, Accountant Wang from our village went to deliver the test papers. He suddenly rummaged through his bag and said they were missing! When asked, he said he had found them. But his panic didn't seem like an act."
"How did you know that?" Shi Shichang looked at her face, trying to see through her guilt.
Tian Xiaolan asked frankly: "Is there a traitor among you?"
"Do you know who it is?" He had long suspected that there was a traitor. The inside news had always been leaked outside, but the traitor had never been caught.
He had come here originally just to investigate this matter. If what she said was true, how could ordinary young men like Chen Dong and Yang Xi do such a thing with the abilities rumored to be there? There must be someone assisting them.
Tian Xiaolan looked at him and said truthfully: "I don't know. If you help me find out about this, the traitor will reveal himself."
Shi Shichang felt that her proposal sounded harmless to him, but he also felt as if he had fallen into her trap.
After thinking for a few minutes, I said to her, "If they didn't cheat, and you just talked nonsense, can you bear the responsibility?"
"If you are right, you can go anywhere in the world; if you are wrong, you can't take a single step. Please don't be afraid. I said this myself and it has nothing to do with them. Moreover, if no one speaks out when their rights are violated, no one will do anything. Many people will just choose to watch. My voice is too small and there is no other way. So I must defend my rights and dignity and not let those people succeed." Tian Xiaolan spoke her thoughts in a sonorous and powerful voice, her eyes firm and powerful.
Shi Shichang couldn't help but sigh inwardly after seeing this. This girl is really brave and resourceful. Most people wouldn't think so much. When faced with these dark things, they would just swallow their anger and take it, fearing that they would offend someone and be targeted. In their hearts, they would implicitly assume that whoever stood up was a fool, and whoever protected themselves was a smart person.
Then the plot repeats itself again and again, those who speak out are constantly silenced, and the number of selfish people continues to increase. At the same time, every time someone wants to speak out, they remember the consequences of every previous speaker and give up the idea of speaking out.
The end result is that those selfish people have broken the hearts of everyone who wants to speak out, and no one wants to speak out anymore. Then their rights are constantly being violated, and there is no end to them...
This was not just an exam, but also allowed him to see the layers of whirlpool underneath. Shi Shichang did not like the intrigues in officialdom, but he wanted to do something practical for the people rather than just go through the motions.
"Let's go, take me there!" Shi Shichang was quite touched by her words and planned to understand the situation first and then report it for handling.
"I'll go too." Li Weimin looked at Tian Xiaolan worriedly, although he didn't understand a word they said. He only heard that they were leaving and the clothes in the yard would not be washed. She had to follow them regardless of whether he agreed or not.
