Cheng Xiang turned around and went to the kitchen.
Zhou Tianlei was wearing an apron and cooking. When he saw her coming in, he said, "Go out and wait. It's choked here."
Cheng Xiang shook his head: "I'm looking at you."
Zhou Tianlei smiled, walked up to her, and saw that her eyes were slightly dark.
She asked with a distressed expression: "Didn't you get a good rest?" She must have been worried about grandma's health, so she couldn't get a good rest.
Cheng wanted to tease him and said, "Yeah, I really can't sleep well without you by my side."
Zhou Tianlei's expression froze, and there was a hint of embarrassment at being teased by his wife on his face. He swallowed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Cheng Xiang was amused by his appearance, enjoying the joy of bullying an honest person.
Zhou Tianlei shook his head and chuckled, then turned around and continued cooking.
"By the way, what's going on at home now?" Cheng Xiang asked.
Zhou Tianlei said while waving the frying spoon: "As you wish, Lai Si has already started making trouble."
In Zhoujia Village, Cheng Xiang was in the city for a few days, and Zhou He let out the news that Wang Ying was going to rent the land to Chen Jiao at a low price.
Chen Jiao also made two trips to Wang Ying to discuss the matter of renting land.
Lai Si was treated coldly. Zhang Qingxiang was busy working in the vegetable shed every day, and the work in Lai Si's field also stopped.
There were rumors in the village that Wang Ying wanted to rent out the land, and Lai Si had heard about it a long time ago.
Someone else mentioned it when I was playing cards with the villagers that day.
"Lai Si, now you have your wish. Chen Jiao no longer wants to rent your land. She is going to rent the land of the female director Wang Ying's family."
"Yes, everyone in Wang Ying's village knows about this."
"I heard that Chen Jiao and the others want to plant yams. Don't tell me, the land in Wang Ying's village is just right."
"Stop talking nonsense, how could Director Wang rent the land to them?" Lai Si didn't quite believe it at first.
"I told you Lai Si, it's true. I was at the restaurant in town that day and saw Zhou Tianlei and Wang Ying having dinner together. Not long after that, word spread the next day that Wang Ying rented the land to Chen Jiao. I heard that the price is not high, even cheaper than yours." Someone said confidently.
"What?" Lai Si was dumbfounded: "But she clearly told me that Chen Jiao made a lot of money farming and asked me to raise the land price?"
"Oh~, so it was she who taught you?" A group of people booed.
Lai Si's eyes flickered for a while, and he threw away the cards in his hand: "No more playing."
After leaving the poker room, I felt suffocated. How dare this stinky bitch dare to cheat on me? I asked her why she was so kind. She actually wanted Chen Jiao to kick me out and rent her land? Damn it, I’m barefoot and I’m still afraid of you wearing shoes?
The next day Lai Si went to the town gate to block Wang Ying.
"Director Wang, you are so insidious. You kicked me out and rented the land to Chen Jiao yourself. Why are you so evil?" Lai Si pointed at Wang Ying and said angrily.
Wang Ying gave him a disgusted look: "I asked you to go to them to raise the price, but who asked you to molest women? You have completely angered Chen Jiao, it's strange that I can agree to your request."
Wang Ying avoided talking about renting land to Chen Jiao and directly accused Lai Si of his deeds.
Lai Sili shook his head guiltily. After he was beaten by Zhang Qingxiang for teasing Chen Jiao last time, he went to Wang Ying to help him with advice. The next day, he went to Cheng Xiang's house to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, this matter turned out to be a handle. Was pinched by Wang Ying.
"As a township cadre and a public servant of the people, if they come to me for help when they have difficulties, can I still ignore it? Just like I helped you when I saw you were in trouble, I asked you to increase the price of land, but who asked you to sit on the ground and raise the price? You know? It's too much to open your mouth like a lion, you know?" Wang Ying used official accent to discipline Lai Si.
Lai Si was a little dazed by Wang Ying's attention: "What do you mean? Oh, people said that Zhou Tianlei treated you to a meal, so you rented the land to them. You are just asking for a treat, you are corrupt."
Wang Ying's eyes widened: "I rented my own land, it's not public property, so don't blame me for any corruption. I still have official duties, so don't mess around here, get out of here."
Wang Ying pushed him away and walked away.
Lai Si stayed where he was, dumbfounded.
"I heard that these days, he comes to the town government gate every day to make trouble with Wang Ying." Zhou Tianlei put the fried vegetables on the plate.
He turned around and asked Cheng Xiang: "Serving?"
Cheng Xiang smiled brightly: "Serve."
After lunch, Zhou Tianlei planned to go home by himself and let Cheng Xiang take care of his grandmother here for a few more days.
But grandma insisted that Cheng Xiang go home with Zhou Tianlei, saying that she had nothing to do. Besides, her uncle and aunt were also at home, so there was no need for so many people.
Cheng Xiang thought so. With his grandpa here, his uncle and aunt, let alone himself, couldn't get involved.
Anyway, I will take Qing'er to the city for classes next week. I will come over then, so I gave my grandmother a few words and followed Zhou Tianlei home.
Wang Ying has been extremely annoyed by Lai Si in the past few days, which has caused rumors in the government compound.
As soon as I got to work that day, I was stopped by the clerk in the mayor's office: "Sister Wang."
"Xiao Li? Is something wrong?" Wang Ying thought the mayor was looking for her.
"Sister Wang, the mayor asked me to ask you, what's going on with Lai Si? He comes here every day and makes noise, and the impact is really bad." Xiao Li asked.
Wang Ying looked embarrassed: "I know, I did have a bad influence, but I didn't expect to alert the mayor."
"Sister Wang, we have been colleagues for several years. I would like to advise you kindly. The election is about to be re-elected. If you ruin your reputation... there will be many people eyeing your position. Please solve it as soon as possible. "Isn't it easy to get rid of a scoundrel?" Xiao Li reminded Wang Ying softly.
Wang Ying's heart moved: "I understand, Xiao Li, thank you. Please help me say a few good words in front of the mayor. I will resolve this matter as soon as possible. By the way, Xiao Li, your sister plans to become a primary school student in the town." Regarding the teacher's matter, I will ask the principal for you later. It should be okay to be a substitute teacher first." Wang Ying said to Xiao Li with a smile.
Xiao Li smiled knowingly: "Well, thank you, Sister Wang. Deal with that scoundrel and say hello if you need help."
"OK."
After Xiao Li left, Wang Ying's face darkened. At that time, he agreed to rent the land to Chen Jiao. He was indeed deceived by Zhou He. After adding Zhou Tianlei... he thought of Zhou Tianlei. He opened his face and felt heat on his face for no reason.
She didn't expect to cause such a big trouble, but after all was said, between Lai Si and Zhou Tianlei, she certainly didn't want Zhou Tianlei to be disappointed in her. As for Lai Si, it was really time for him to calm down.
The day after Cheng Xiang went home with Zhou Tianlei, he heard that Lai Si had been beaten again.
You don't have to think twice to know who took action.
Cheng Xiang shook his head: "You will not survive if you do it yourself."
After Chen Jiao knew that she was back, she came to find her and said that she had been contacted by Wang Ying and the specific details were almost discussed. Although Wang Ying looked at Chen Jiao with a condescending official air, the rent he wanted was Not expensive, only 45 yuan.
Cheng Xiang raised his eyebrows. The handsome man was really proud of himself.
