Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

While Su Wanwan was speaking, she paid attention to the changes in the secretary's expression. Seeing that his expression gradually softened and showed a little friendliness, she confirmed that her analysis was correct.

It seems that some young women did "report" the problems they encountered in the production team to the young branch secretary, hoping to put some pressure on them to get better treatment.

While Su Wanwan was relieved, she couldn't help feeling worried.

What saved them was that their behavior was within Baihua Village, and they would not be forced to return home. But at the same time, this also meant that it would be very easy for them to be excluded by the Party Secretary and the working youth. As long as they did not want to be expelled, they had to endure the so-called "reformation" here.

"Considering that our work speed is indeed slow and we are prone to making mistakes, I suggest that we consider making appropriate increases or decreases in our work point records." Su Wanwan's next words interrupted the secretary's slightly friendly expression.

"The production team has clear rules regarding the calculation of work points and wages, and no arbitrary adjustments are allowed." Su Wanwan frowned, realizing that the situation might become delicate.

"But farm work doesn't wait." In an instant, she understood.

Li Meifen had been trembling with nervousness, but suddenly she stopped trembling. Su Wanwan glanced at her with a worried look and found that the woman was brave enough to look directly at the village leader. She quickly patted Li Meifen's lower back to comfort her.

"Yes, just as you said."

"The key is to negotiate with the team leader and discuss problems immediately when they arise, so that solutions can be found. Don't act arbitrarily. We work openly and fairly here. Just do your best and be realistic, right?" Suddenly, the team leader's words changed direction, and Su Wanwan almost choked out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"Do as much as possible," her words made Su Wanwan feel that if she had a choice, she would rather take on only half of the total amount in exchange for some ease. After all, her arms were already starting to ache and become weak.

Moreover, the decision on work allocation does not lie with the workers, but with the team leader of the management team.

The team leader didn't blame anyone, but blamed them instead. Was this a cover-up or something? Su Wanwan took a deep breath to suppress her anger and forced a smile.

She understood clearly that she just wanted to avoid affecting her work points - it was a sensitive topic, but she needed to complete the task to the extent instructed by the team leader. If the assigned work was not completed, Baihuasheng's various coercive measures would force her to work in person.

Perhaps, Midnight was not immune either. The gossips that had been circulating in their village and neighboring villages might happen to them.

There are even legends of young people being forced to work in the fields late at night, only to find themselves lying in the fields in the morning...

Su Wanwan responded calmly, "Okay, we will give your feedback to the team leader and discuss it seriously."

After finally ending the repetitive conversation, the two tacitly stopped at the fork in the road, and after a moment of silence, they chose the direction that seemed to lead to the dormitory. Because they did not bring lunch boxes, and the branch secretary called them for a talk, they did not eat. A day of heavy work easily made them hungry. Su Wanwan was so hungry that she almost bumped into a tree on the side of the road.

"What is the team leader's real purpose? What does he want us to do?" Li Meifen's condition was even more serious, so she simply leaned against a tree for support.

"Don't you understand? What he meant was that we work slower than others, so we should just get fewer work points. Saving as much as possible can keep peace. But did you hear what he said? He disagreed with our explanation and stressed that the distribution of farm work is independent and cannot be shirked. It must be completed."

Li Meifen was indignant after hearing Su Wanwan's analysis: "How can we do it? If we could have done it, we would have done it long ago. This statement is totally a sophistry!"

"Who said it wasn't like that? But didn't you hear the hidden meaning?" Su Wanwan was also angry.

Unfortunately, she really didn't have the energy to argue or get angry at this moment, and any extra energy would be too much of a luxury.

"What you mean is that although most of our work area has been passively shared, others can return to rest at the usual time after completing the work, but the two of us need to insist on finishing before leaving, otherwise it will not be considered finished, right?" Li Meifen's voice trembled a little when she said this.

"Based on the current situation, that's exactly the case." Su Wanwan was very reluctant to accept this reality, but she knew that this was the fact before her.

They were unable to reach a reconciliation or agreement with the team leader in charge of their labor area, otherwise they would not have ended up having to go see the village party secretary.

Contacting the team leader at this time would only make him appear more arrogant, and he might even take this opportunity to let them take over more workload. By then, even if they stay up late, they may not be able to finish the work within the scheduled time.

"Fate is so cruel!" Li Meifen took a deep breath and was about to say something else, but she used too much force and lost her balance, and fell to the ground with a crash.

"Let me help you." As she spoke, Su Wanwan wanted to go forward and help her up, but she saw Xu Yan quickly pull up Li Meifen who was sitting on the ground.

"Why are you here?" Su Wanwan was a little surprised to see Xu Yan help Li Meifen up quickly with amazing speed.

They were taken to the branch secretary's office before dinner, and now it was late at night. Normally, they should have had their meal in the simple dormitory and then took a nap.

Did they actually come to them on their own initiative?

"I heard you being called over by the branch secretary." Bai Luwei, who appeared with Xu Yan, walked calmly, without any sense of fatigue after doing heavy labor.

"Have you had dinner?" Su Wanwan nodded and then asked her two friends.

"We just finished eating. Come, let me give you a hand." Seeing Su Wanwan trembling as she walked, Xu Yan quickly walked to her side and put her hand on his shoulder without saying a word.

The sudden feeling of support made Su Wanwan's body feel much more relaxed, but the pain from her arm resting on Xu Yan's shoulder still made her unable to help but let out a soft cry.

"How much have you done? I think you are almost exhausted!" Bai Luwei has always been outspoken. Although he was reluctant, he still helped Li Meifen next to him to get up based on the spirit of young people who refuse to admit defeat easily.

"I think your workload is probably not as much as ours." Su Wanwan whispered her concern.

"Don't move. I think I hurt your arm." Realizing this, Xu Yan let go of her hand after a little hesitation, and stepped to her side, bending down slightly to show a caring gesture.

Su Wanwan originally planned to refuse other people's support, considering that it would be difficult to explain clearly in the crowd, but Xu Yan used some unknown technique to gently pull her legs and let her body naturally fall on his back.

"If you don't exercise regularly, your physical strength should be improved gradually. If you do so much at the beginning, it may be difficult to recover." He carried her on his back calmly, without any change in his voice.
