The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Too Easy

The villagers couldn’t stand seeing Gu Jiaojiao so easily earn two months’ worth of grain, yet they had to admit that without her thresher, they would have gone hungry.

In other words, their team hadn’t wasted a single grain.

Other teams, on the other hand, had failed to bring in their harvest because of the rain. Their crops were flooded right in the fields. By the time the skies cleared and they could check, the grain had already sprouted.

It was a heartbreaking sight.

Seeing that no one was speaking up, Aunt Leng knew she couldn’t keep pressing the issue. Instead, she brought up the matter of the fine grain.

”Fine, we won’t talk about the work points. But what’s the deal with the fine grain?”

The crowd straightened their backs again.

’This business with the fine grain couldn’t have been arranged in advance, right?’

The team leader had anticipated this. ”That was a gift from another team, thanking them for lending out the thresher. It was given specifically to the young couple. Do you have a problem with that?”

A-a gift?

And from another team, no less!

What the hell could they say to that?

Their earlier fury was matched only by their current silence.

The team leader was very satisfied with the situation. He had done it on purpose, intentionally telling the accountant to be vague.

He wanted to teach these people a lesson.

”You people spend all day gawking at others’ business. What’s it to you? You can’t even figure out your own affairs.”

”I’m telling you, if you can’t make room for talented people like Gu Zhiqing and Leng Yuan, other teams would be thrilled to have them.”

”The team leader from the neighboring Li Jiawan Team is over here every day. What do you think he wants? He’s trying to borrow our people! He’s dying for Gu Zhiqing and Leng Yuan to go over to his team and see if they have any constructive suggestions for them.”

”I’m telling you, if you cause any more trouble, I’ll let the couple go to Li Jiawan.”

That shut them up.

”Team Leader, Leng Yuan and Gu Zhiqing belong to our team! You can’t let them go.”

”So that’s why the Li Jiawan team leader is always running over here! He’s trying to poach our people! I knew he was up to no good. Team Leader, you can’t let them go.”

Right now, their team was firmly ahead of the Li Jiawan Team. If Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao went over there and came up with some new ideas, wouldn’t Li Jiawan pull ahead of them?

That would never do.

Just moments ago, they were complaining that Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao got too much. Now, hearing that others were fighting to have them, they were practically demanding they be given even more grain.

They had to keep such talented people in their village, no matter what.

The few who remained unconvinced, muttering that the team leader was just being theatrical and speaking nonsense, were quickly shut down by the others.

”If you’re so capable, why don’t you build a thresher and have other teams begging to borrow it? If you’re so great, you make other teams jealous!”

When they’d delivered the grain, the commune leaders had heard they hadn’t lost a thing and praised their village in front of everyone.

The ones who went to deliver the grain had all returned with their faces flushed with pride, walking with a swagger in their step.

Plenty of other teams had been green with envy back then.

Because they knew just how much they had benefited from the thresher, very few people were actually against the idea.

Most of the opposition came from a few families who were on good terms with the Leng Family.

”Our Qingshan Team is aiming to become a model village. Don’t you dare embarrass me.”

With that said, he looked at the accountant.

At this, the accountant stood up and said with a wide smile, ”For your meritorious service in saving the grain, the commune has specially approved a one-hundred-yuan bonus, as well as two ceramic mugs. This is your reward.”

As he spoke, the accountant handed over the money, along with the ceramic mugs, which were printed with red peonies.

Leng Yuan looked at Gu Jiaojiao.

Only then did Gu Jiaojiao reach out and take the money.
