Because the foreign worker was caught on the spot, Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei each had one work point deducted.
Li Dahe's accusing words went around his mouth for more than a hundred times before he finally swallowed them.
Forget it, the girl is thin-skinned and has been criticized by the villagers. If he criticizes her a few more times, what should he do if she cries, makes a fuss and hangs herself?
Li Dahe did not criticize Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei, and the aunts in the village did not say anything. They just looked at Lin Nianhe quietly with sympathetic eyes. Even Wang Shumei was automatically ignored by them.
It was as if she had lost a God-given match.
Lin Nianhe: "..." I feel so tired.
Wang Shumei didn't care about this part of the job. She looked at Lin Nianhe's helpless look and covered her mouth and snickered.
Wen Lan looked at Lin Nianhe and curled her lips in disgust: "I'm a coward. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei looked at her in confusion.
The next second, Wen Lan rushed forward, lifted the scorer from the stool, and stepped on it.
Wen Lan stepped on the stool and put her hands on her hips, showing a sense of generosity in giving advice.
"Don't stop talking nonsense. Hezi has nothing to do with Li Xiaoshan. You are making up nonsense one by one. Do you know anything..."
Wen Lan was very emotional and rarely spoke eloquently. She spoke a long list of hometown dialects quickly.
As the only person from Shaanxi Province in the entire Shili Brigade, Wen Lan successfully isolated everyone else with his local accent.
People queuing up to score were stunned on the spot.
A pair of eyes filled with curiosity and doubts looked at Wen Lan blankly.
Wang Shumei pulled Lin Nianhe: "How about we get her down? The captain's face is turning blue."
Lin Nianhe looked at her and asked a very practical question: "Do you still have the strength? Anyway, I don't."
Wang Shumei was silent for a moment: "The captain has experienced many more ups and downs than us. This must be just a small scene for him!"
"Yes, the captain's face looks so bad. He must have thought of other unhappy things."
"It's really hard to be a captain."
"It takes a lot of effort and a waste of hair."
Li Dahe: "..."
If he kicks these three brats out now, no one will complain about him, right?
Li Dahe took a few breaths and pointed at Wen Lan: "You! Come down here! What does it look like!"
Wen Lan felt that she had explained everything that needed to be explained. After hearing what Li Dahe said, she also jumped off the stool and wiped her footprints clean.
Wen Lan shook her braid and returned to Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei. She held one in each hand and said to the people with dull eyes: "I have said everything that needs to be said. If you continue to spread lies, I will not be polite!"
After saying this, she dragged Wang Shumei and Lin Nianhe away.
A group of villagers were left to form a self-study group in Shaanxi dialect to study what Wen Lan had just said.
"I just heard some nonsense..."
"Although I didn't understand, Wen Zhiqing's tone was quite aggressive. Do you want to fight?"
"Isn't it appropriate for us to have so many people beating a little girl like her?"
"What's going on with this little brat? She usually looks pretty nimble, but now she's been making noise for a long time and can't even move her hands. Who knows who she's targeting..."
For a time, "What did Wen Lan say?" successfully took over and became the latest hot topic of discussion in the Shili Brigade.
Li Dahe wiped his face, feeling extremely worried.
Seeing that everyone was there, he frowned and thought for a moment before pulling the scorer up from the stool.
The scorer, whose butt was still hot from sitting, was about to curse when he turned around and saw Li Dahe.
He asked weakly: "Uncle Li, how about I give you a hand? Or you can step on the table, that one is more stable."
Li Dahe glared at him, stood on the stool, put a fist against his lower lip, and coughed twice: "Okay, while everyone is here, let me say something."
Everyone who was talking stopped talking and looked at Li Dahe.
Li Dahe was quite satisfied with their attitude. He nodded and said, "There has been some trouble in the brigade these past two days, and you all know it yourself."
"I'll say it again here: I brought something to Lin Zhiqing because I asked her to help deliver it to Daxi. Comrade Su asked the postman to bring Lin Zhiqing's gauze. If you don't believe it, catch the postman tomorrow. When you come to the village, you can ask yourself."
"In the final analysis, this matter is all my fault. I made the decision and let him get half the work points for five days. He will also have to work when the dam is repaired."
"Whoever cares about this nonsense again or pokes fun at Lin Zhiqing in the future, be careful that I will deduct your work points too!"
In fact, what Li Dahe said was similar to what Wen Lan said.
The only difference is that everyone understood what Li Dahe said.
Captain Li Dahe still has prestige in the village. After listening to his words and hearing that there were other witnesses, everyone immediately believed him.
I don’t know who said: “Yes, I remembered it. Lin Zhiqing wore a red gauze scarf two days ago, and Miao Zhiqing howled so loudly that the cornfield could hear it that day!”
Perhaps the events of that day left a deep impression on everyone, so everyone nodded after recalling it for a moment.
In this matter, Lin Nianhe was finally picked out.
No one except Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei cared about who spread the rumor and who was outside the educated youth spot that day.
However, the gossip about Li Xiaoshan and Wang Xixi became more and more intense, as if there was no way to end it without getting married.
In this regard, the Li family and the Wang family had a positive attitude. In just five days, their two children had been engaged, and the wedding date was set before the autumn harvest.
This move completely silenced the gossips. When they talked about Wang Xixi's kidnapping by the Zhang family, the words became——
"Daxi really followed Hongzi and valued love and righteousness! Even if he died, he wouldn't run away with another man... Xiaoshan, you have to be nicer to your wife in the future, she even gave up her life for you!"
Every time Li Xiaoshan heard these words, he nodded seriously and promised, then blushed and ran fast.
"Nian He, do you think the injury on my head will be healed before the autumn harvest? Will there be scars?"
On this day, Wang Xixi pulled Lin Nianhe and asked.
"No problem, trust my medicine." Lin Nianhe replied with a smile, "Are you making new clothes?"
Wang Xixi clenched the red cloth in her hand tightly, her face flushed: "No, I, I just...well, he gave me two pieces of cloth for me to cut clothes, I, I just looked... …”
Lin Nianhe chuckled: "Just take a look, you're already engaged and still so thin-skinned."
I have to say that Wang Xixi and Li Xiaoshan really look like a couple, with exactly the same shy look.
Lin Nianhe put a small porcelain jar next to Wang Xixi's pillow: "After the blood scab comes off, apply it every morning and evening, and the mark will be gone soon."
"Thank you." Wang Xixi opened his arms towards Lin Nianhe, "Nianhe, how should I thank you."
"No." Lin Nianhe chuckled, hugged her, and then said, "I won't tell you anymore. There is little work in the fields today, and we have to go up the mountain to collect firewood."
"Huh? Then I'll go with you and help you." Wang Xixi said and was about to get off the kang.
Lin Nianhe held her shoulders down: "Don't run out, you're getting married in two months, so stay home and keep it cool."
Wang Xixi's face suddenly turned red. She shyly pushed Lin Nianhe and almost pushed her out the door.
"Hahaha……"
Lin Nianhe was not annoyed, said goodbye to her with a smile, and left the Wang family's door.
Beside the door, Wen Lan and Wang Shumei were waiting for her, with three empty backpacks at their feet.
Lin Nianhe threw his small satchel into the backpack. After carrying it, the three of them walked towards the back mountain.
