“Go ahead and sue me. Wang Zhiqing and I are completely innocent. We’re not afraid of your sue!” Huang Xinrui finally said.
Despite saying that, she was genuinely afraid that Zhao Xiaoli would sue her. After all, she had just arrived and had already caused such a scene. Not only would it have a bad influence, but it would also lead to misunderstandings among those who did not know the truth, thus ruining her reputation.
Having lived here for a long time, Wang Jiaxing understood the status of the educated youth in the village. Not wanting to escalate the situation, he suppressed his anger and said, "Zhao, we are all educated youth, we are a group. Making a scene will not benefit anyone."
Zhao Xiaoli thought she had him under control, and became even more arrogant. "Now you know you're scared? Fine, you won't report me to the brigade leader, but you'll have to cook meat for me, and only for me."
"Where are you going to get meat?" Wang Jiaxing was utterly speechless with anger. "It's the lean season now, and every household has very little food left. Where would we get the money to buy meat? Zhao Zhiqing, can you please not make such an unreasonable request?"
Zhao Xiaoli didn't care. "I want to eat meat. Figure it out yourself, or I'll go to the brigade leader and report you for having illicit relationships!"
“You…” Huang Xinrui pointed at her, so angry she almost couldn’t breathe.
Zhao Xiaoli was extremely smug. "What do you mean, 'what about me'? You think I can't win an argument and then resort to violence?"
This is a production team. If anyone surnamed Huang dares to touch her, she'll tell the team committee and have them punish him as a bad element.
"Do you want to eat meat?" Li Xiyue, who had gone out at some point, came in from outside and asked Zhao Xiaoli.
Zhao Xiaoli crossed her arms and looked at people with her chin down. "Of course, if they don't cook meat for me, I'll report them, and you won't escape either."
“Okay, I’ll give you meat,” Li Xiyue agreed.
Zhao Xiaoli's face lit up with joy. She hadn't expected to have Li Xiyue under her thumb as well, and she was quite pleased with herself.
The next moment, a hand quickly reached out and grabbed her hair, then something was shoved into her mouth, and a putrid stench filled her mouth.
"What is it? What are you giving me to eat..." Zhao Xiaoli asked angrily while struggling.
Li Xiyue said, "Cow dung, it's still fresh, eat more." After saying that, she continued to stuff it into her mouth.
"Ugh..." Zhao Xiaoli couldn't break free from Li Xiyue's grip, nor could she spit out the cow dung in her mouth. The stench made her eyes water.
I'm going to die! Li Xiyue actually dared to feed her cow dung!
Ahhh! She's going to kill Li Xiyue!
Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui were both stunned, their mouths agape and their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
Li Xiyue shoved the entire clump of cow dung into Zhao Xiaoli's mouth before letting go of her, throwing away the taro leaves that had wrapped the dung, and tossing her into the yard. "If you spew filth from your mouth again, I'll throw you into the latrine and you'll never come out again. You'll be a maggot for the rest of your life!"
Zhao Xiaoli lay on the ground and dry heaved for a while before spitting out the cow dung in her mouth. Tears and snot streamed down her face, and she looked as pathetic as a stray dog.
"What are you looking at? Eat." Li Xiyue reminded them when she saw the two still standing there.
Huang Xinrui closed her gaping mouth. "Yueyue, I admire you to the core!"
"Li Zhiqing, you're the one." Wang Jiaxing gave a thumbs up, his face beaming with satisfaction.
Xing is because he has been living in the countryside for a long time, and his sharp edges have been smoothed out. He only thinks about keeping things peaceful and avoiding trouble. He never thought that things could be handled in this way.
Li Xiyue's actions today undoubtedly taught him a lesson, a very profound one.
Li Xiyue laughed, "Some people are just bullies who prey on the weak. The more you tolerate them, the more they will take advantage of you. Talk less and fight more. If they don't submit after one beating, beat them twice. If they don't submit after two beatings, beat them three times. There will always be a time when they submit."
“That’s right,” Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui agreed in unison.
Li Xiyue's actions were so satisfying; they had never felt so relieved before.
The gloom had dissipated completely. Li Xiyue washed her hands, and the three of them sat down and happily ate breakfast.
While tidying up the kitchen, Wang Jiaxing explained the rules of the production team to them: "In the South, we have to work all year round, but we also have holidays when we're not busy. We also get holidays during the Spring Festival and other holidays. The four busiest times are spring plowing, summer harvest, summer planting, and autumn harvest. You can't ask for leave unless it's something important."
“We get up at five o’clock every morning, go to the team committee’s threshing ground for a meeting, collect farm tools, and then go to work in the morning. We can only come back for breakfast after finishing work in the morning. After breakfast, we continue to work. We have two hours of rest time at noon, during which we can take a nap. We finish work at six o’clock in the afternoon.”
He only came back to make breakfast after working the early shift today.
