Chapter 213 Another Fight
Zhao Fengqin and Gu Hewang quickly understood why Tian Xiaoju wanted them to apologize to Lu Yuanbo.
The first person to have this feeling was Zhao Fengqin.
The village has started planting rice seedlings and is busy.
On the first day, she got up early to cook and eat. After that, she rushed to the registration area to receive her basket and farm tools.
When she arrived, quite a few people were already there.
Upon seeing her, regardless of what others were currently talking about, everyone subconsciously switched their focus to Zhao Fengqin and Gu Hewang.
"How could they do such a thing? They've completely lost all sense of shame, and they're even from the same village! How could they do something like this!"
"That's right! What did Lu Yuanbo do to offend them that they would do this!"
"Could it be about that fight from years ago? That's been so long, they really hold grudges!"
"Besides, the two families are related by marriage! If they treat their relatives like this, who knows if they won't do the same to us if something happens in the future!!"
"Try to avoid contact with Gu Hewang in the future. He's so vengeful; you never know when you might offend him again, and he might retaliate!!!"
Zhao Fengqin initially realized they were gossiping about her, but she had endured it for so long that she could no longer tolerate it.
You can criticize her, but you can't stand it when you talk about her son.
They even said in front of her that they didn't want her child to associate with their own child.
What is this? What disease are they infected with?
"What are you saying! It's as if my Hewang likes associating with your son. Look at your son! If he weren't my son, who would associate with him!"
Zhao Fengqin lived up to her reputation; with just one sentence, she ignited everyone's anger.
If everyone initially treated Zhao Fengqin and Gu Hewang and his mother with disdain because of Lu Yuanqing, and given that the truth had become clear by the end of the matter, they were not very friendly towards them.
The villagers are straightforward; if they don't like something, they'll make sarcastic remarks to your face.
To put it bluntly, it's normal for them to fight.
They've argued and fought, but as time goes by, even if they hold grudges, they won't make things too ugly in front of each other.
We're all adults; we'll always consider others' feelings in everything we do and won't directly cause a scene.
Very few people don't interact with each other!
However, Zhao Fengqin had clearly done things that everyone disapproved of, and her rebuttals were nothing more than verbal sparring.
But she insisted on insulting other people's children.
Is her son a treasure, while other people's sons are just trash?
Sure enough, when Lu Yuanqing and his group arrived, they saw a group of people gathered together, and inside the circle they surrounded, Zhao Fengqin and several elderly women from the village were fighting fiercely.
"What are you all doing here? Why aren't you getting to work? What are you doing? Don't you want your work points?" Zhao Zhongcai had only gone to the warehouse once, and when he came back he saw the fight and immediately started scolding them.
The fight stopped as soon as the captain intervened.
Lu Yuanqing curled his lips, satisfied with Zhao Fengqin's current appearance.
Imagine, what would happen if one person took on several people?
"Oh my god! You're all ganging up on me! Ah!!!"
Early in the morning, Zhao Fengqin was both tickled by crickets and beaten. She had been in several fights in the past few days. She sat on the ground, feeling wronged, crying and wailing that others were bullying her!
"Hmph! Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed!"
"Want to play again next time? I'm ready anytime!"
Not only did several older women beat her up, but they also subjected her to ridicule!
"Alright, stop standing around here and get to work!" Zhao Zhongcai shouted dismissively.
As for Zhao Fengqin's words about him making the decision, I'm sorry, he hasn't been getting enough rest these past few days due to the busy farming season, and his hearing has also deteriorated!
Lu Yuanbo was initially a little embarrassed, after all, anyone would feel ashamed in such a situation, but seeing Zhao Fengqin's fate, his gloating expression was clearly visible on his face.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
Lu Yuanbo nodded quickly: "Satisfied, satisfied!"
According to Xiao Dong, Zhao Fengqin went directly to Lu Yuanqing and spoke sarcastically, which made him so angry that he wanted to rush to the Gu family to settle accounts with her.
Seeing Zhao Fengqin like this now, he was naturally overjoyed!
Lu Yuanqing smiled, but his eyes, as he looked at Zhao Fengqin, revealed a hint of coldness.
"This is nothing, there are even better things to come that will make you happy!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanbo expressed even greater anticipation!
Lu Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go to work!"
Did Zhao Fengqin and Gu Hewang think that was the end of it? Lu Yuanqing sneered inwardly.
There's still a long way to go, and the impact of this incident won't be limited to just this one time!
He can wait!
Zhao Fengqin sat on the ground crying and wailing, but no one paid any attention to her. In the end, it was Tian Xiaoju who scolded her a few times, and only then did she reluctantly get up and sign in to start work.
At this age, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Even if you feel ashamed, you'll forget about the embarrassment after you've been busy for a while!
Shihua Village also gets into trouble from time to time.
In the countryside, where even the smallest things can cause a commotion, it's really not a big deal.
However, the people of Shihua Village didn't think it mattered. Instead, it gave the four educated youth who had been living a quiet life in the countryside a good show!
The biggest difference between the countryside and the city is that city dwellers care more about face, and even if there are conflicts, they are unwilling to make a big fuss for others to watch.
If something really escalates, they prefer to go to their superiors.
So, this was the first time they had ever seen such a blatant teasing that ended up attracting the attention of the whole village, even leading to a fight, and then everyone going back to work without a care in the world!
Anjing was a timid person, and she couldn't help but worry: "In the future, if we get into a conflict with someone in the village, we must never be reckless." They couldn't win, they simply couldn't win!
Liu Hui didn't take it seriously and said, "Why should we cause trouble? We're here to build in the countryside. We should just learn from the villagers how to work in the fields. We shouldn't cause any trouble. I've come to realize that the people of Sichuan and Chongqing are known for their fierceness. It seems that's true. If you don't want to die, it's best to avoid trouble!"
"Instead of worrying about these things, shouldn't we go to work? I don't know anything. What if the villagers look down on me and beat me up?" Ren Jianhua was only concerned about getting to work in the fields.
Because they had just arrived in the countryside, Zhao Zhongcai, the brigade leader, was considerate and gave them a day to rest. Although they went to the fields for the next two or three days, they did what seemed to be the simplest farm work for the villagers.
But even this simple farm work caused the four of them a lot of hardship.
It's rice planting season again, and Ren Jianhua can't even imagine how hard it will be!
His words immediately reminded the other three.
Immediately, all four of them wore expressions of discomfort.
They didn't think too much about it at first, but now that they're actually on the ground, regret has been lingering in their minds.
Ren Jianhua's concerns are unfounded.
In the past few days, Zhao Zhongcai has also learned a lot about their situation, and the good mood he had when he went to pick them up is gone.
Even though they had just started planting rice seedlings, he hadn't assigned them any tasks like picking or planting the seedlings.
Instead, they were asked to do the easier task of pulling up rice seedlings.
After bringing the people to the place and instructing a few older women to teach them, he busied himself with other things.
At first, the older women who were assigned the task were pleasant to see the four of them. After all, they were city people, and they had heard that they came from a faraway place. They were all well-dressed and good-looking, and looked like they were educated people.
This difference from the villagers naturally makes them exceptionally warm and welcoming.
However, as they pulled up the rice seedlings and broke them, they would complain of back pain after working for a while, and they would need to rest for half a day after working for a short time. This really showed them no respect.
They complained on one hand, but urged him on on the other.
Ren Jianhua and the other three felt ashamed, angry, and exhausted.
On the first day of rice planting, Lu Yuanqing was responsible for picking seedlings and going back and forth between the seedbed and the paddy field.
Naturally, they also saw the miserable looks on the four of them.
I couldn't help but think of my first time working.
Thinking about how I'm carrying a whole load of rice seedlings without stopping, I can't help but feel heartbroken.
Seeing that the quiet female educated youth actually burst into tears because of a harsh word from the old woman, Lu Yuanqing shook his head and thought to himself, "This is nothing!"
