A morning passed, and Tian Dashan still didn't come back.
Cheng Dahua sat in the brigade office crying, and Mrs. Tian didn't give in too much. She cried louder than the other, and no other sound could be heard in the entire brigade office except crying.
Captain Zhou's face turned cold, and he finally couldn't help it. He slammed the table hard: "What on earth do you want to do? Is this a place for you to fool around?"
"If you guys continue to make trouble, just don't go back. Tian Cuixiang, you think you haven't been picking shit long enough, right?"
Captain Zhou's voice was very cold, and he scolded the two of them.
The two of them would have left long ago.
But it's different now. Tian Dashan has been out for so long and still hasn't come back. How can they feel relieved?
So the crying only stopped for a moment, and then started again.
Aunt Guihua stared at the two for a long time, and finally whispered a few words to Captain Zhou.
"Captain, it's true that Tian Dashan hasn't come back yet. It's a good thing nothing happened. If something happens, they will definitely blame you and our team."
Captain Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this.
Soon, he came up with a trick.
"Okay, I'll notify the militia and ask them to go up the mountain to find someone."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Tian couldn't control herself and burped.
"Really...really?"
"I never lie to people." Captain Zhou looked ugly, "If you don't believe it, you can go back now."
Cheng Dahua quickly grabbed Old Mrs. Tian and asked Old Mrs. Tian to step back.
"I knew you, captain, were kind-hearted! When our Dashan comes back, I will let him come and thank you!" Cheng Dahua said while winking at Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian realized what she was doing and quickly gave Captain Zhou a flattering smile.
However, before the two of them could get too happy, they heard Captain Zhou's last words.
"The militia team has to collect money once to go up the mountain. It's not easy for them. This time they went to find Tian Dashan. It took several days at least to find him. There are more than 20 people in the militia team, but they still have to pay fifty yuan."
"Get your money ready, I'll go to the militia now."
The smile on Cheng Dahua's face froze: "What? Do you still want to charge money?"
"How can they do things for free if you don't charge money? Don't you know how dangerous the back mountain is? The fifty yuan is all for the sake of our team!" Captain Zhou's eyes widened, "If you are not happy, Then go to the mountains to find someone by yourself! You can also save a lot of money!"
Cheng Dahua hesitated, that was fifty yuan!
Although the family has saved some money over the years, spending fifty yuan is like cutting off a piece of her flesh!
Thinking of this, Cheng Dahua opened his mouth, but still couldn't agree immediately.
Mrs. Tian was also worried about money, but seeing Cheng Dahua's appearance, she narrowed her eyes severely, and then rushed to Cheng Dahua in one stride.
"Captain! Let's pay for this money! Let's pay for it!"
"Hurry up and give me the money!"
Mrs. Tian became angrier as she talked and stared at Cheng Dahua suspiciously.
"Do you want Dashan to die in the mountains so that you can remarry with our Tian family's money? I tell you! Unless I die!"
"You are born as a member of our Tian family, and you die as a ghost of our Tian family!"
Mrs. Tian's fighting ability was unparalleled. When she spoke, the ears of the entire brigade office shook.
Captain Zhou was about to speak with a livid face, but Aunt Guihua beat him to it.
"Our Qingshui Brigade has no such rules! Cheng Dahua has the freedom to choose his own marriage!" Aunt Guihua, as the women's director of the brigade, was most disgusted by Mrs. Tian's words.
When she stared at Mrs. Tian with a cold face, Mrs. Tian realized that she couldn't speak to her and quickly shut her mouth.
"I was just telling a joke." Old Mrs. Tian smiled and tried to clear up the matter: "Captain, when are we going to let the militia team go up the mountain?"
Captain Zhou snorted coldly, but this was a matter of human life after all, so he didn't care about educating Mrs. Tian and just walked outside.
"This needs to be discussed with Captain Wang."
The militia team belongs to the entire commune, not just the Qingshui Brigade. If I want to invite you to confront me, it will take some time. Of course, the sooner the better now.
When Mrs. Tian saw Captain Zhou walking out, she quickly followed him.
Cheng Dahua scolded her several times in her heart, but thinking of Tian Dashan, she still chose to walk to the commune together.
However, Captain Zhou did not go to the commune first, but went to the Lu family.
Seeing the dilapidated door of the Lu family, Cheng Dahua's eyes flashed with joy, but she felt something was wrong the next moment, and asked in a sharp voice: "Captain, aren't you going to the commune? Why are you here at the landlord's house?"
"You go to the commune with bare feet?" Captain Zhou stood still angrily, "If you think you are faster than a bicycle, then go to the commune by yourself."
Only then did Cheng Dahua understand. She shut her mouth, but she was still a little unhappy in her heart.
Captain Zhou glanced at her: "Xia educated youth is the only one in the entire brigade who has a bicycle."
"Will she borrow it? That girl holds a grudge." Cheng Dahua muttered.
"Of course I will borrow it!"
The next moment, Xia Yao's voice rang.
When Cheng Dahua heard this, she still couldn't believe it.
When she saw Xia Yao smiling with crooked eyebrows, she felt a chill rising behind her.
This girl Xia Yao is not as harmless as she seems, and she understands it deeply.
Sure enough, just when she was doubting, Xia Yao coughed: "But my bicycle is very valuable, I can't let you get it so cheaply."
"After all, our two families still have a grudge. Who knows whether you will avenge your personal grudge publicly." Xia Yao said seriously with a straight face.
Cheng Dahua's eyelids twitched, and she knew that this damn girl Xia Yao had no good intentions!
"No borrowing..."
"Aunt Cheng, you have to think carefully. If you go to the commune on just two legs, it will take at least two hours. Two hours... I don't know if Captain Tian will be rescued."
Xia Yao prolonged his voice, his tone full of regret, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the gloating in Xia Yao's eyes.
When Mrs. Tian heard this, she exploded: "Damn girl, who are you cursing? Let me tear your mouth apart!"
"I'm just stating the facts." Xia Yao blinked innocently, "I borrow a bicycle for two yuan at a time. You Tian family members not only have to pay two yuan, but also give me a deposit of fifty yuan. If the bicycle is damaged in any way, I will I’m going to deduct your deposit!”
"Why don't you go and grab it?" Mrs. Tian jumped in anger.
"Captain Tian is still on the mountain." Xia Yao shook his head and sighed, "It seems that you don't take him seriously. You can't even part with two dollars."
Cheng Dahua's face was ugly, and she stared at Xia Yao with a sullen expression: "We'll borrow it!"
We have already spent fifty yuan to hire a militia team. Is there still this little money left?
Xia Yao smiled: "Captain, then I will leave my bicycle to you."
"The money and goods are settled." Xia Yao stretched out his hand towards Cheng Dahua.
Cheng Dahua gritted his teeth and stared at Xia Yao, and finally took out two dollars from his pocket in pain: "We are not going, the captain will go to the commune alone."
"Yes." Xia Yao accepted the two dollars and nodded, "The captain has good character and is trustworthy, so we won't charge a deposit."
Xia Yao was scolding the Tian family as scoundrels with every word he said, but Cheng Dahua couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
There are so many urgent matters that Captain Zhou cannot afford to delay for even a moment.
Seeing that the two of them had reached an agreement, he nodded with a straight face: "I will go to the commune first. Aunt Guihua from the village is already organizing. As soon as the militia team arrives, we will go up the mountain."
After saying that, Captain Zhou got on his bicycle and rode quickly in the direction of the commune.
Mrs. Tian and Cheng Dahua glared at Xia Yao fiercely: "You can make any money! It's so heartless!"
"My bicycle cost one hundred and eighty. If you have money, you can buy one without asking me to borrow it." Xia Yao smiled, staring down at the two of them, "I don't Like some people who secretly go to Shangyang Brigade in the middle of the night to become thieves."
"In the end, the thief didn't take it seriously and ended up trapped in the mountains."
As soon as Xia Yao's words came out, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became furious.
"Damn girl, who are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about thieves, why are you so excited?" Xia Yao still opened his innocent eyes wide, "Did Captain Tian really become a thief with you, Aunt Cheng?"
Cheng Dahua took a few deep breaths. If she continued to argue with Xia Yao, Xia Yao would be angry to death sooner or later.
So she gritted her teeth and walked step by step towards the big locust tree without saying a word.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scolded Xia Yao while walking. Xia Yao was not angry after hearing this, and the smile on his face was still bright.
I made two dollars today!
She thought about it in her heart, and she felt happy, and even the gloomy sky above her head became brighter.
"Auntie."
As soon as she lowered her head, Lu Tiantian hugged her thigh.
Lu Tiantian opened her big watery eyes, blinked at Xia Yao, and said in a sweet voice: "Auntie, don't be angry, Tiantian huh."
"Be sweet!" Xia Yao smiled happily and hugged Lu Tiantian. "I'm not angry. I made money today. I will go to the county to buy candies for you tomorrow."
Two dollars! No matter what, it’s a huge sum of money!
but……
Xia Yao's eyes flashed. Cheng Dahua and Mrs. Tian were famous throughout the commune for being picky. They were worried about Tian Dashan if they were willing to give up the money. How they got so much money is worth pondering.
If the Tian family gets dead work points, it will be similar to the rest of the brigade, but they can casually give out dozens of dollars. Few families in the brigade can reach this level.
Thinking of this, Xia Yao snorted softly in his heart.
The Tian family must have secretly made some deal with the Lin family in the county. Sooner or later, she will peel off the skin of these two families!
Xia Yao murmured in his heart, not paying attention to Lu Jing's eyes at the side.
Looking at Xia Yao who was coaxing Lu Tiantian, Lu Jing's narrow eyes were full of doubts.
Thinking of Xia Yao's performance last night, his emotions were even more complicated.
This doesn't look like Xia Yao's behavior at all.
