Chen Jiao looked at the scene in front of her in shock, watching Lai Si being beaten almost silently by Zhang Qingxiang.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Qingxiang: "Qingxiang, stop fighting."
Zhang Qingxiang stood up, shook his hand, and kicked Lai Si hard, who was lying on the ground groaning.
He walked over and helped Chen Jiao, and walked out from Lai Si's house. Lai Si's house lived in a remote place and it was dark. This commotion did not disturb the people in the village.
When Chen Jiao returned home, her heart was still beating wildly, and she was angry and angry. Fortunately, Zhang Qingxiang felt uneasy after Chen Jiao left the vegetable shed. He couldn't find her everywhere, so he was worried that she would go to Lai Si alone, so he hurriedly followed her. In the past, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Cheng Xiang frowned as he listened to Chen Jiao's words and wished he could kill the scoundrel with his knife.
Seeing Chen Jiao's frightened look, he patted her to comfort her and said, "Fortunately, nothing happened. Don't interact with ruffians like this alone."
Chen Jiao nodded. She was too impatient and misjudged the shamelessness of this scoundrel.
"What should we do now?" Chen Jiao asked Cheng Xiang.
Cheng wanted to say: "He didn't come after he was beaten last night, but he waited for Zhou Tianlei to go out before coming today. He obviously came here to embarrass me. It's been almost half a month since the land rent came, and planting is about to start. He came over and yelled about quitting the lease, and he obviously had a plan. He was such a scoundrel that he couldn't think of this. Someone must have instigated him. Now we have to find out who is instigating him."
Chen Jiao nodded: "I know that Lai Si definitely either wants to cancel the rent, or he wants to raise the rent under some pretext. He didn't tell you sooner or later, but he waited until we were all ready to attack. He is just a fool. He drinks and plays cards every day. , How can you have such thoughts? Who is causing trouble and making trouble for us? "
Cheng Xiang shook his head lightly: "We'll find out when Zhang Qingxiang comes back."
About an hour later, Zhang Qingxiang walked into the house quickly. After Lai Si left, he did go to find someone, Wang Ying.
"Wang Ying? The female director?" Cheng Xiang laughed and said, "This woman is quite vindictive."
No wonder she could bring out the legal regulations to instigate Lai Si, and no wonder Lai Si listened to her words so much. As a cadre, the first level of officialdom can suppress people to death.
"I'll go find her and ask her what she wants to do?" Chen Jiao was about to walk out angrily.
"Don't worry, we just secretly saw her contacting Lai Si. There is no real evidence. If we ask her in person, if she doesn't admit it, we will be passive." Cheng wanted to hold Chen Jiao.
"Lai Si went to the office in town to find her. She seemed to be on guard. She took Lai Si outside to talk to her. I hid by the wall and listened. Lai Si said that he was afraid of making a big fuss. We really didn't want to He had almost spent the rent on his land, and was afraid of paying twice the rent. Wang Ying told him that Chen Jiao had made a lot of money growing vegetables in greenhouses last year, and renting his land at this price was too much for him. It’s a shame, let him stick to his position and fight for his own interests, etc. His voice was quieter later, so I didn’t hear it.”
Zhang Qingxiang told what he heard in the town.
"What does she want?" Chen Jiao said angrily.
"She wants to fight for the interests of the people at the bottom and be a good cadre," Cheng Xiang joked.
"She? She won't do anything that harms others and does not benefit herself. She must have divorced Zhou Tianwang and went to the mountains to pick wolfberries, so she plotted against us." Chen Jiao said.
Cheng Xiang nodded and took a breath: "She has always regarded herself as a friend of women. We have challenged her authority many times. She must be looking for an opportunity to retaliate. She caught us off guard and lost all our money."
"What a vicious bitch." Chen Jiao said angrily, "How about we go to the mayor to sue her?"
"It's the same sentence. How can I file a complaint without any real evidence?" Cheng Xiang pondered for a moment: "Now we can only let Lai Si stand up and report her, let Lai Si turn against her and stop trusting him, so that she can't make waves. , she is a female director and will not openly oppose us."
Chen Jiao frowned and thought, "How can we make Lai Si turn against her?"
"Give Wang Ying the benefits that Lai Si lost. It would be weird if Lai Si can still trust her." Cheng Xiang said with a smile and looked at Zhang Qingxiang.
Zhang Qingxiang thought for a while: "The land in Wang Ying's village overlaps with Zhoujia Village. Her family has two acres of sandy land. The harvest of the farm is not good. She has been growing sweet potatoes and potatoes. She is a widow and has no one at home." Man, my parents-in-law are old and can’t work on the ground. Every year during the harvest season, she has to spend money to hire help. After a year, she can’t make any money from the two acres of land. She also has a lot of skills. I heard people say that she I’m interested in renting, but the geology is not good and no one is willing to rent.”
Cheng Xiang said with a smile: "Isn't this a coincidence? The sandy land is just right for growing yams. Lai Si won't rent it. We rent Wang Ying's land. When Lai Si is dumbfounded, he will come and beg us to rent his land. ”
"But will Wang Ying rent the land to us?" Chen Jiao asked worriedly.
"Of course she won't pay attention to us, but if someone comes to help us, she shouldn't have the heart to refuse." Cheng Xiang secretly smiled mischievously.
Looking at Chen Jiao's confused eyes, she smiled and said: "I will think of a solution for this matter. Don't worry. Don't worry. Lai Si's land will be rented to us. It won't delay the planting. He is angry with you for bullying." I have to help you out too."
Chen Jiao looked at the cunning glint in Cheng Xiang's eyes and felt relieved knowing that this girl had an idea in her mind.
Zhou Tianlei came back from the pig farm very early today. He went to the city to do some business this morning. When he came back in the afternoon, he heard that Lai Si was looking for trouble at home, so he returned home without stopping.
At home, the children were doing their homework and playing the piano. The atmosphere was peaceful and there were no signs of war or chaos.
When he found the kitchen, Cheng Xiang was wearing an apron, humming a song and picking vegetables in front of the stove.
Seeing Zhou Tianlei come in, he stood up and walked to him, greeting him with a smile: "Are you back? Are you tired? Can you make a pie for you today?"
Zhou Tianlei was a little surprised by the unusual enthusiasm. He nodded slightly and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Lai Si came to the house to cause trouble today? Are you okay?" Zhou Tianlei put his hand on his waist and looked around. .
"That scoundrel is just an embroidered pillow. He shouted something and asked me to put out the fire with a basin of cold water." Cheng Xiang smiled proudly.
"Well done, you don't have to reason with the scoundrels." Zhou Tianlei praised: "What trouble is he looking for? Do you need my help?"
Cheng Xiang blinked and said, "You don't need to bother with this scoundrel, but I really need your help with something."
Cheng Xiang smiled coquettishly and tilted his head to look at Zhou Tianlei, with a cunning look in his eyes.
Zhou Tianlei's heart tightened inexplicably, and he felt like he was being plotted by her.
