This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chen Honglu glared at his brother and sister-in-law, then smiled and said to the villagers, "Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me!

Serving food is not a good job. If you serve too much or too little, you'll be blamed. Comrade Wang Erxiu has never made mistakes before, so I don't think she did it on purpose this time!

But in Shuning's case, it was indeed Comrade Wang Erxiu who was wrong! It's not appropriate for her to continue doing this job of serving food!

Today, Shuning recommends Comrade Zhao Fengping for this job. Does anyone object? If no one objects, then it's settled!

Chen Honglu looked at those people who were on good terms with him with hope, but when they met his gaze, they lowered their heads and refused to speak.

Chen Honglu's heart sank little by little, sinking to the bottom! He knew that his sister-in-law's job was no longer possible...

After a long moment, Xu Qingshan stood up, looked at the village chief, and said loudly, "Village chief, I speak on behalf of all the educated youth. We educated youth have no objection!"

Although the educated youth were registered in the village, they had no roots and were therefore also targets of Wang Erxiu's embezzlement.

They knew that even if they made a fuss about the withholding of their food rations, the people of Chenjia Village would not side with the educated youth, so they endured it until today.

With such a good opportunity now, how could they resist? If they could get someone else to serve the food, even if they couldn't get the rations they deserved, they could still vent their anger!

Zhao Fengping replaced Wang Erxiu, and even if they withheld their food, it wouldn't be any worse than it was now. After all, with Wang Erxiu's previous example as a warning, no one would dare to blatantly withhold food.

Chen Shuning had caught his sister-in-law with something, but he refused to let it go. The villagers didn't want to get into trouble over this matter.

Now even the educated youth openly support Chen Shuning, and Chen Honglu still wants to continue to be the village chief, so he dare not arouse public anger!

Chen Honglu sighed and said loudly, "Okay! Since everyone agrees, let's do it this way! Let Comrade Zhao Fengping take over Comrade Wang Erxiu's job first!"

Wang Erxiu's expression changed again and again. As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Chen Honglu staring at her, his eyes full of warnings! She shut up awkwardly!

Chen Shuning handed the rice spoon to Zhao Fengping and said with a smile, "Here! Aunt Zhao! We all trust you and agreed to let you take over this job! You must work hard and don't let everyone down!"

When it comes to food, give as much as you are told! I will supervise you!"

Zhao Fengping was also unambiguous. She took the spoon and said loudly, "Hey! I will do my best and live up to everyone's trust!"

Chen Honglu secretly gave his brother a wink, and the family quietly left the cafeteria!

When he got home, Chen Honglu sat on the kang, lit his pipe and started smoking.

While smoking, he said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think? Ah! Didn't you see that in the afternoon, the villagers were blocked by her in the brigade and scolded, and I didn't dare to say a word!

Why are you messing with her for no reason? She's a high school graduate, and she's got a lot of tongues! She's always exaggerating things, threatening people with a copy of 'Quotations from Chairman Mao'!"

Wang Erxiu bit his lip and said unwillingly, "Brother, I just feel so angry when I see her being so arrogant!

She has been back in the village for half a year now. When has she ever taken you, the village chief, seriously? I think she's even more arrogant than you!"

Chen Honglu said earnestly: "Can you use your brains? The whole country is in revolution now. Yes, as the village chief, I have some power!

But how many eyes are watching me? How dare I violate the rules? Everything must be done according to the rules and regulations..."

Chen Hongjiang interrupted his elder brother and asked with a frown, "Brother, what's the point of talking about this now! Let's talk about my wife's work problem!"

Working in the cafeteria is a lucrative job that so many people would fight to get! How could that damned girl Chen Shuning ruin it like this?"

Chen Hongjiang was not convinced, thinking that it was too cowardly to give in like this! But he didn't dare to go against Chen Shuning!

That damn girl is such a powerful talker! She always puts accusations on people, and her words are endless. She's scarier than the Red Guards and the Revolutionary Committee!

Hearing his brother's complaints, Chen Honglu knocked his pipe on the edge of the kang, without looking up, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"You know how to speak up now? Why didn't you say anything in the cafeteria just now? You only know how to bully others...

Listen up, you two, let's put this matter aside for now! The Chinese New Year is just over a month away, and the work on the production team is almost done!

When there was farm work to do, the villagers ate in the canteen. When winter arrived and the work in the fields was almost done, the production team would distribute food before the New Year, based on the number of people in each household and their work points.

Chen Honglu lit his pipe again, took a puff, and said slowly, "Zhao Fengping won't be able to work here for long! When spring comes, I'll find a reason and arrange for my sister-in-law to come in."

Everyone is paying attention to this matter now. Don't confront Chen Shuning at this time!"

There are troublemakers in the village, but Chen Honglu feels that compared to Chen Shuning, they are nothing!

Chen Shuning is highly educated and has come from a literary background. No one can argue with her! Even using violence is unacceptable! Her grandfather, father, and two uncles are the pride of Chen Village. Who would dare to touch her?

Chen Honglu sighed and warned, "Remember! Don't mess with that girl! She's very tricky, not someone you can handle!"

Chen Shuning didn't care what the village chief's family thought. She acted upright and was not afraid of them doing bad things behind her back.

If she got hold of something, who would be the unlucky one? After all, with Chen Shuning's temper, he never spoiled anyone!

It was already late, and when there were no pedestrians on the road, Chen Shuning quietly left home in the cold wind and walked towards the cowshed.

Afraid of being discovered, Chen Shuning didn't even use a flashlight. Fortunately, the snow was white, so even without moonlight, he could still reach the path.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Shuning arrived outside the cowshed. She imitated a dog's bark twice, which startled Wang Simin.

Wang Simin walked out of the cowshed, looked around, and when he saw no one was following him, he lowered his voice and asked, "Kid, why are you here so late?"

Chen Shuning took out a patched cotton vest from her arms. Because she had hidden it in her arms, it still had a faint warmth.

Chen Shuning extended his hand to Wang Simin and said softly, "It snowed so heavily today, you must be very cold living in the cowshed.

Here! I just made this cotton waistcoat. It's made of new cotton and is very warm.

I'm afraid of attracting attention, so I'm using patched old cloth for this outer layer. Grandpa, you can just wear it!"

Wang Simin's eyes moistened, and he choked up and said, "No need! This is too expensive, let's keep it for Old Chen! I'm fine!"

This afternoon I reinforced the cowshed and moved some hay in to block the wind. Besides, there's an old kang inside, so I stuffed two bundles of firewood in there, so we can make it through!"

With the current shortage of food and clothing, cotton is a precious commodity! This cotton vest is a valuable item in any family! He appreciates the gift, but he can't accept the item.

Chen Shuning stuffed the cotton waistcoat into Wang Simin's arms, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, took out half a steamed bun made of two kinds of flour, and stuffed it directly into Wang Simin's hand.

Chen Shuning whispered, "If you don't want it, just throw it away. I won't take it back anyway!" After that, she turned around and left!

Chen Shuning did not go home, but came to the east end of the village and knocked on the door of the village party secretary Lin Shitou.

It was Lin Shitou's wife Jiang Lichun who answered: "Who's that outside? Knocking on the door so late!"

Chen Shuning said softly, "Auntie, it's me! Chen Aiguo's youngest daughter, Shuning!"

Jiang Lichun put on his clothes, left the house, and opened the door. He yawned and asked, "Shuning, it's so late, what's the matter with you?"

Chen Shuning nodded and said crisply, "Auntie, I came to see you for something! Didn't the villagers say this afternoon that they suspected Wang Simin of stealing chickens?

I just sneaked into the cowshed to take a look, but I didn't see anything unusual about him! I didn't hear any chickens crowing near the cowshed either.

I think the chicken thief is someone else! We can’t let him go unpunished! "

When Jiang Lichun heard about this, he said with a complicated expression, "The village chief is in charge of this matter. You should go and tell him!"

Chen Shuning raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile, and said in a delicate voice: "Auntie, everyone in our Chenjia Village knows that the village chief has selfish motives!

Theft has such a bad impact. To shirk responsibility, the village chief didn't even investigate and just went along with Wang Erxiu's story, saying that Wang Simin stole it.

It was obvious that Uncle Lin also had the right to take charge of this matter, but he didn't even ask Uncle Lin for his opinion!

When it comes to fairness and integrity, no one can compare to my Uncle Lin! If you ask me, this matter still depends on Uncle Lin to come forward and solve it. Our Chenjia Village cannot do without him! "

Chen Shuning's flattery made Jiang Lichun smile from ear to ear.

Jiang Lichun teased, "You're the only one with a sweet mouth! Okay, it's getting late, Shuning, you should go back first!"

I'll tell your Uncle Lin about what you said! We won't let a bad guy go, nor will we wrongly accuse a good person!

"With your uncle Lin taking action, the chicken thief won't be able to escape! Don't worry!"

Jiang Lichun closed the door and ran back into the house trembling. Secretary Lin sat up and asked, "Who is it in the middle of the night?"
