Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 8: Failed the exam and stepped down

The rain poured down heavily, and the rain gradually became heavier. The sound of the rain was occasionally mixed with the frightening rumbling thunder, which once again highlighted the insignificance of human beings.

Under the pavilion in the courtyard, six people were absent-mindedly eating breakfast. It had been raining heavily for three days. If it continued like this, the whole village might have to move to higher ground for shelter. No one wanted to abandon their property and flee for their lives, and the things they couldn't move were their treasures.

Lu Jinan looked at He Xi and saw that she had only finished half of her porridge and stopped, stirring the bowl with her spoon from time to time: "It rained a lot this year, so the harvest may not be very good."

Xiao Yan didn't care, and was quite proud: "Look, even the weather is on our side. It hasn't snowed all day."

The people at the table thought about it and agreed. The educated youth who went to the countryside had been here for four or five days and had not worked on the fields. This might really be a blessing from heaven. They were much happier than the previous educated youth.

His smugness and expression are hilarious just thinking about it. The smile on his face is so strong that I want to slap him. What should I do? I am so worried, but he is still smiling.

In three days, the underwear materials prepared by He Xi had long been used up, but a lot of underwear was made, and the colors and styles were all carefully studied by the three of them.

I have also woven a lot of beautiful bracelets and am waiting to sell them when the rain stops and the weather clears up. I am waiting anxiously.

But I received unexpected news.

On the afternoon of the third day, the rain finally subsided, and the fine bead curtain became intermittent. Groups of people gathered together to discuss something.

The village head's wife was dressed brightly and beautifully on a rainy day. She didn't look like a country woman who worked in the fields. She rushed forward first, her face full of joy: "How is it?"

The village chief glanced at her, disdaining her for being too talkative, and said in a bad tone: "No."

The village chief was about to go home, but his wife grabbed his clothes and refused to let go: "What's the reason? Why don't you say something?"

The women who were in a warm relationship with the village chief's wife also kept asking for the reason: "Yes, village chief, what is the reason? Why can't our village be an advanced village? Our village is enthusiastic and actively engaged in work."

The village chief looked at the mouths of these spendthrift old women and felt even more annoyed. Did he have to say such things in front of so many people, saying that not only did they fail to be rated as an advanced village, but they were also dismissed from their official positions?

He impatiently pulled her arm and went home: "Let's go home and talk."

But you obeyed him, shook off his hand, and questioned him: "What can't be said here? I have already said it and accepted the gift, you should at least give me a reason?"

The fire in the village chief's heart was ignited again, and he slapped her in the face: "You bitch, I'll teach you a lesson."

He used a lot of force on her hand, and she sat directly in the puddle. Their daughter saw this and pushed her father forward, while helping her mother up, she said, "Dad, why did you hit my mom? Can't you just talk it out?"

Someone started to chime in:

"Yeah, how can you hit someone?"

"Yes, she is also in charge of women's affairs in the village. You are both village officials, and you are equal."

A group of women joined forces to help their daughter-in-law up, and continued to criticize the village chief.

At the same time, there were also dissenting voices: "That's not right. After all, she is not the director of women's affairs. Isn't it that she took the title by herself because her husband is the village chief?"

"Hey, you..."

The war was about to start again, and the secretary could no longer sit there and wait for death. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, the village chief... was beaten up."

The village chief's wife threw away the help of others, ran to her husband, and asked bluntly: "What's going on? Why don't you say something?"

Facing the crowd, the man found it hard to speak. He hesitated and said, "My superior said I accepted bribes. I have to hand over the stolen money within a week and accept further investigation..."

Their daughter, the tall girl that day, suddenly thought of something: "Mom, He Xi said before that she would report my dad..."

Now the conflict had its source. The wife rolled up her sleeves and went straight to He Xi's house. The four young people were not at home. The water level in the reservoir had risen and was released. There were many big fish in the river. Although He Xi didn't like to eat fish, she loved catching fish.

The river was full of young people, most of them living in families. There was no family planning at that time, so they could have as many children as they wanted. Basically every family had a small group of children.

Among the four young people of the He family, He Xi was the hardest working. She stuffed her trousers into her socks for fear of being bitten by leeches, which were disgusting.

The others rolled up their trouser legs, revealing smooth, white thighs, strong and powerful. They were piled up one after another, and for a moment it was impossible to tell where the white was from the belly of the fish and where the thigh meat was.

"Don't move." Lu Jinan slowly approached Xiao Yan, "The fish is behind you, stay still."

As Lu Jinan approached, Xiao Yan felt his breathing become short. When Lu Jinan dropped the net, he even paused for breathing.

"We caught him." Lu Jinan exclaimed, and Xiao Yan dared to breathe.

The two sisters also had a good catch. When they were counting the fish in the wooden barrel, someone shouted in the distance: "He Xi, you are still catching fish. There is a fight in your family. The village head's wife went to your house to make trouble."

He Xi was furious. He clenched the fishing net in his hand, and disappeared in a moment. He Fei called on the other two to rush home to support the front line.

From a distance, I could hear the village head's wife scolding, "He Xi, you little bitch, you're trying to stab me in the back."

Hearing the noise, He's mother walked out of the house and saw the village head's wife. She rolled up her sleeves and came to the gate: "I thought it was someone's bitch barking, but it turned out to be you. Why can't your dog do that?"

The village head’s wife spoke again: “Bah, who are you scolding? I told you to tell He Xi, the little bastard, to come out.”

He's mother was not afraid of their large numbers: "Bah, keep your mouth shut, it's not over yet, every other day you come to my He Xi because of Lin Sanni's little thing, I should praise you for being polite before using force."

He's father always stood behind his wife. It was not easy for him to intervene directly in matters between women, but he would never let his wife be bullied.

Seeing that verbal battle was not going to work, the village head's wife prepared to take direct action. She stepped forward and tried to grab He's mother's face, but He's mother's best friend quickly pushed her, causing the wife to lose direction and grab the face of the branch secretary's wife.

When the village chief's wife stepped forward, He's father directly stood in front of his wife. No matter what he said, he could not hit the village chief's wife.

"Ouch." The secretary's wife raised her hand to cover half of her face and yelled, "Gu Dahua, are you blind? You scratched me."

"I..." The village chief's wife hesitated for a moment, "You are blind. Can't you see someone pushed me?"

Li Zhaodi, He's mother's best friend, chuckled and crossed her arms: "Gu Dahua took out your evidence that He Xi reported it, and do you mean your man didn't accept bribes?"

Gu Dahua's momentum obviously weakened: "I don't care, anyway, He Xi can't get away from it."

He Xi, who was gradually approaching, was so angry that she laughed. A fishing net was placed in front of her: "Show me your evidence, there is no..."

He Xi's tone became more serious: "Then you are framing the family of a soldier and destroying the honor of the family of a soldier."

No matter what, put the hat on her first, and the opponent's arrogance will be reduced by three points. As for the rest, we can discuss it later.

Lu Jinan and the other two hurried over. She stepped forward to look at He Xi, making sure that He Xi had not been hurt because she was a few steps late.

Lu Jinan's eyes were calm and sharp, causing Gu Dahua to step back repeatedly. She stretched her neck and spoke, "If it's not her, who else could it be?"

He Xi: “…”

Lu Jinan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Feelings without evidence are just groundless speculation.

He Xi thought about it and continued, "If I were to sue him, I would sue him for abusing his power. The rest has nothing to do with me."

"Go find whoever you have a grudge against, don't act like a scoundrel in front of my house."

He turned around to take He's mother home, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Did you get the award?"

Seeing their faces, He Xi knew the result and said mockingly, "No achievements were awarded for advanced work. Who do you think is a fool?"

The former village chief behind the large army: I am a fool!

The rainstorm washed the countryside with a fresher and more fragrant smell. The sun finally showed its true face as it was about to set. The sky after the rain was even brighter. The lush trees were full of vitality after being washed by the rain. It was time for dinner at the He family.

Fish pot stickers, authentic iron pot stew, if you want to eat enough, you have to eat farm food.

After dinner, Lu Jinan asked He Xi to go out for a walk, and it seemed that he had something to say.

On the other side, the village chief's family had a fight with someone and no one made dinner for them because they were all beaten down.
