Chapter 238 Keep a Low Profile
Accountant Liu's wife cried and begged Secretary Du, but she was so scared by Secretary Du's threats that she dared not make any more trouble. She grabbed Accountant Liu's hand and cried bitterly, as if she was about to die.
"Listen carefully, don't be petty, and don't even think about speculating. There is no wall that is impenetrable. It's useless to cry and beg me when something happens. What have you been doing before?"
Secretary Du spoke to the villagers below with a dark face. He couldn't suppress his anger. Zhang Maolin and Accountant Liu didn't take him seriously at all? He must have absolute authority.
Zheng Xinyue stood in the crowd and secretly wiped the cold sweat. Last time she and her mother went to speculate, they were almost caught. If they were caught, she and her mother would be criticized like Accountant Liu and others.
"Okay, go to work! It is your task to ensure a good harvest."
After Secretary Du's speech, he ordered everyone to disperse, leaving Zheng Dagui alone to talk to him enthusiastically for a while before leaving the Red Flag Team 5.
It didn't take too many people to open the gates to release water, so only five people were left to release water. The others were sent to weed. As a result, when they arrived at the field, they saw that the grass was dead. Zheng Dagui's thick eyebrows could not help but lock.
What happened? The grass died again overnight?
This was not like the small private plot of land at home. The grass in hundreds of acres of land was all dead?
The people in the village were also surprised. The women who believed in ghosts and gods were whispering,
"The gods will open their eyes, and God will help us to have a bumper harvest this year."
One person spoke, and the rest followed suit. Later, they raised their hands and secretly prayed and chanted, hoping that the gods could help them realize their wishes.
Zheng Xinyue listened to these people's discussions, lowered her head and kicked the soil with her toes, and was secretly happy in her heart. The gods these people talked about were right in front of them.
"Tsk, everyone, look at Liu Xiumei. In the morning, her tail was up in the air, but now she's shrinking her neck like a turtle."
Chen Shuli stared at Liu Xiumei, and saw her carrying a hoe and following behind in a listless manner, so she deliberately humiliated her with a loud voice.
"Accountant Liu is so arrogant, but it's a pity that his ancestors are not virtuous. The team leader is still from our Zheng family."
Chen Shuli was arrogant and talked in plain language, as if her man was the team leader.
"Chen Shuli, you better behave yourself, or I'll deal with you first."
Zheng Dagui's face darkened when he heard Chen Shuli's words. Isn't this bringing trouble to himself? He was not polite and scolded her in front of all the members.
Chen Shuli's proud face collapsed immediately. She was angry that her uncle made her embarrassed in front of everyone, but she was afraid of Zheng Dagui, so she behaved herself in the end.
Zheng Dagui saw that the grass in the field had died, so he left some people to clean it up, and arranged other tasks for the rest. It was easy to get through a day's work.
After work in the evening, Gao Guilan was so happy that she wanted to kill a chicken to celebrate Zheng Dagui becoming the team leader.
She had been so angry for a long time, and it was better for her husband to be the team leader. No one dared to show off.
"Okay, stop showing off. Keep the old hen to lay eggs for Xinyue to eat, and keep the rooster for the New Year."
Zheng Dagui frowned and scolded his wife, saying that she should not be so happy just because he became the team leader. She should be low-key.
"Isn't this just for you?"
Gao Guilan was not angry even after being scolded. She smiled and helped Zheng Dagui get water to wash his face.
Li Xiuqin and Li Xiuli were also happy. They were also proud of their father-in-law being the team leader.
Seeing her husband had finished washing his face, Gao Guilan hurriedly handed him a towel and smacked her lips while praising Secretary Du:
"If you ask me, our Secretary Du is a good public servant of the people. He knows everything about your contributions to our brigade while you are in the commune."
"Forget it! Do you think Secretary Du has the time to care about these things?"
