Widow Qiu knew if things continued like this, she and her son would probably get no good out of it.
She looked up and cast a pleading glance at the brigade leader.
The brigade leader’s face was stern as he shouted, "Enough with the noise! Can’t you tell what’s important? Don’t you want your work points anymore?"
He then turned and glared at Yunyi. "Every day, it’s you who causes the most trouble over petty things."
Yunyi was enraged. What was this? Judging by the brigade leader’s attitude, could he be having an affair with Widow Qiu?
Just you wait! I don’t provoke others if they don’t provoke me. But since you started picking on me incessantly, don’t blame me for making trouble for you!
The brigade leader turned back to Widow Qiu. "Control your own kid! Can’t you see what time it is?"
After speaking, he shouted to the villagers, "Let’s start assigning work. Cut out this useless chatter!"
Yunyi saw him about to leave and called out, "Brigade Leader, they’ve done despicable things, and that’s it? Is this how you manage the village?"
At her words, Xu Wenchang’s face darkened. He spun around, his tone hostile. "Then what do you suggest?"
Yunyi said with a faint smile, "They bullied someone. Shouldn’t they apologize?"
At this point, Liu Chenglin stepped forward, followed by Lun Huaijing, Tao Yuran, and Guo Aibing—who had moved out—and the other educated youths from the Zhiqing Point.
The people from the Zhiqing Point might have their internal conflicts, but they knew they needed to present a united front now.
Liu Chenglin spoke first. "Brigade Leader, we came to the countryside to support its development in response to the nation’s call. Since we are in this village, we are its members. You shouldn’t show favoritism or handle matters this way."
Qiu Baolin had harassed Tao Yuran before. However, Lun Huaijing and Guo Aibing had protected her, so he hadn’t dared to show his face around her again. Naturally, Tao Yuran wouldn’t miss this public opportunity to deal with Qiu Baolin. She said, "Brigade Leader, your handling of this is unfair. Isn’t it inappropriate to shield them in front of the entire village?"
Upon hearing this, Yunyi glanced at Tao Yuran. Could it be that this girl also suspects an unspeakable secret between the brigade leader and Widow Qiu?
The brigade leader wanted to shield the Qiu mother and son, but I wouldn’t let him have his way. If my guess is correct, I naturally have to lay some groundwork with the villagers first.
