Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 325: Dealing with the Two Laizi

The commotion here was quite loud, and the neighbors came to watch the fun one by one. They didn't think it was a big deal when they saw Yang Anzhang and his group, but when they saw Chunni, their eyes lit up! Chunni was almost blinded.

They didn't even bother to watch the excitement anymore, and just surrounded Chunni!

Chunni could only sigh at how popular she was!

Er Laizi took a shower, changed his clothes, and then appeared in front of everyone again.

Yang Anzhang brought a group of people directly to Erlaizi's main room and packed his messy house.

"Tell me, was it my third brother-in-law who asked you to come here?" Er Laizi sat on the ground and asked with a look of despair.

There are only a few benches in the farmers' house, and even after the leaders divided them up, there are still not enough for everyone to sit on!

"Ahem, ahem." As the leader of the negotiation team, Yang Anzhang had to speak first.

"You idiot! No, Comrade Yang Jinshan, your third brother-in-law didn't come to sue you! But your sneaky behavior has caused many complaints from the villagers!"

"They are making up stories. If I stole something one day, the people who complained about me would tell all sorts of stories! So, seeing that my parents are dead, they are going to put the blame on me! You are dreaming! If you have the guts, tell them everything, otherwise you are making a false accusation!" Er Laizi was a little smart and had a lot of rebuttals to say!

"A chicken fell from Wang Ermaizi's house the night before last. I heard from Aunt Wang next door that when she got up in the middle of the night to take a shit, she saw a figure sneaking towards Wang Ermaizi's chicken coop! That figure looked very similar to you!" The second captain immediately provided a witness.

Er Laizi was startled, but as he had been a thief for many years, he was still quite alert and came to his senses in an instant.

"Looks like me! Bullshit! There are at least eight out of ten men in the village who are as tall and thin as me. How could she recognize me without even seeing my face? I even said that Aunt Wang got up hungry in the middle of the night and stole the chicken next door, and I saw her plucking the chicken feathers on the back mountain!" Er Laizi is worthy of being called Laizi. He will never admit it even if you kill me!

"You are just being stubborn! Liu Erwa came to your house yesterday and saw you chewing a chicken leg. You don't have any chickens at home."

"What? Is there any evidence to prove that I stole her chicken?" Er Laizi was still quibbling!

"Uncle Liu next door went up the mountain to pick mushrooms before dawn yesterday morning and saw you plucking chicken feathers on the back mountain!" Yang Anzhang took out a cloth bag, opened it and saw that it was indeed a pile of chicken feathers.

"Auntie Wang has already identified it. This is indeed the feathers of the missing chicken in her family! It's no use for you to quibble." Yang Anzhang said righteously!

"What's the matter? I just stole a chicken. I'll give her one as compensation." Er Laizi immediately admitted his mistake. He didn't expect that this group of people came prepared. But based on his limited life experience, this group of people obviously had other purposes.

"Since you have admitted it, then you should just accept the punishment honestly. Go and admit your mistake to Aunt Wang later and exchange the chicken for money to compensate her. If you do it again, don't blame me for being rude. I will report to the police and have you sent to a labor camp!" Yang Anzhang threatened.

"I won't dare to do it again. Don't report it to the police." Er Laizi was terrified. Two years ago, there was a rascal in the village who touched a little girl's hand and was sent to a labor camp. I heard that he lived a miserable life!

Seeing that Er Laizi was frightened, Yang Anzhang revealed his purpose for today.

"You heard there was no road repair."

"I've heard of it." Er Laizi answered weakly, and his eyes suddenly became bright.

"The road was too narrow before, only a tractor could pass through. So Chunni is thinking of widening the road and paving it with asphalt. This way, it will be more convenient to go to the city and there will be no need to worry about falling on rainy days!"

"Yeah. I've walked on the asphalt road, it's very comfortable." Er Laizi's eyes rolled around, and no one knew what evil idea he was up to.

"I just want to occupy a little bit of your yard, but I don't know if you are willing or not." Yang Anzhang asked tentatively.

"I think the road repair is also for the benefit of ordinary people like us, so I should support it." Er Laizi pretended to be embarrassed. "But, you know, I am the only one left in my family." At this point, he sniffed his nose, pretending to cry.

"Although I am a human being, I also have to grow crops. Without a dam, where can I dry the crops after I harvest them?" Er Laizi stared at Yang Anzhang sincerely.

"Let's go and see the specific location we are going to occupy first!" Chunni suggested.

Er Laizi looked embarrassed, but he still stood up and hopped to the door of the house.

"This is here, connected to the ditch, it takes up about one meter of space." Yang Anzhang pointed to Er Laizi.

Er Laizi narrowed his eyes and calculated quickly in his mind to see how he could get the most benefit.

"My fellow villagers, I'm not going to say anything to you. If you agree, then as a thank you, we will turn this dam made of rammed earth into a cement dam. Do you want that?" Yang Anzhang spoke first.

"I feel so embarrassed." Er Laizi grinned, seeming to be quite satisfied with the compensation.

"But, you also know that this earth dam was built by my husband with great effort when he was alive. How can I be unfair to him if I dig it up like this? Oh! This is unfilial! I don't even dare to visit my husband's grave! I'm afraid he's not at peace in the underground!" Er Laizi's eyes were red, as if he really missed the old man who worked like a slave for him.

Yang Anzhang seemed to have remembered the skinny old man, patted Er Laizi on the shoulder, and consoled him: "As long as you live a peaceful life, your mother and father will be at ease in the underground. If they were still alive, they would definitely be happy that you could contribute to socialist construction and sacrifice for your fellow villagers."

"If our village develops well, there will be countless benefits that you can't describe." He painted another big picture.

"The mayor is right, but I am alone and even if I make contributions, they will not be remembered by future generations."

"When you have money, marry a wife and have a baby, people will remember you!" The second captain took over.

Er Laizi's eyes sparkled. "No woman would be willing to marry a farmer like me! If I could work in a factory or something..."

Chunni now knows Erlaizi’s real purpose. He is setting a trap for her to fall into!

She turned her eyes away, it wasn't that she couldn't do it.

As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. Shichun has a lot of employees now, and there are indeed one or two employees who are not so clean. In addition, there are always some unknown people outside the factory watching. She is preparing to set up a security team. This idiot can do nothing else, but he should be a good security guard.

But, will he embezzle the money?

To do it or not to do it, that is the question.

Chunni stood aside with an unhappy look on her face, not saying a word.

Er Laizi secretly said that something was wrong and began to miss the old man who had died.

Things seem to have reached a stalemate.

At this time, Sun Dajie pulled Chunni aside and whispered something.

"Chun Ni, this idiot has the best relationship with his third sister. Do you want her to come and persuade him?"

Er Laizi's third sister works in Shichun, so if Chunni, the factory director, goes to invite her, she will definitely be able to come.

"Oh?" Chunni was curious.

"When Er Laizi was a child, he fell into a toilet and nearly drowned. It was his third sister who risked her life to save him. Since then, her third sister has not been in good health. Since she can't do farm work, she can only rely on her studies to have a future. Therefore, she is the only one in their family who has attended junior high school."

Shichun has certain requirements for recruiting workers, and literacy is a necessary skill. This also makes sense. In a family like Erlaizi that values ​​boys over girls, it is so rare to raise a girl who can enter Shichun.

"The relationship between the two siblings is the best. If his third sister comes, Er Laizi will definitely be obedient."

Chunni nodded secretly. As expected of the director of the Women's Department, there was no gossip that she, Sun Dajie, didn't know.

"Okay, I can promise you! But Shichun has its own rules. If you break the rules, don't blame me for kicking you out."

Er Laizi was delighted. He did not expect that Yang Chunni was as soft-hearted and easy to talk to as the rumors said. Now, he became Shichun's worker. It was better not to have this rotten house and yard.

"However, I have a condition."

"You tell me, even if you tell me ten or eight, I will agree to you!" Er Laizi tried his best to get into Shichun.

Chunni smiled and said, "If you continue to do sneaky things in Shichun and affect Shichun's image, I will fire you and your third sister together!"

Er Laizi's smile froze. It turned out that none of the rich people were good people. They all had evil hearts. He had to implicate his third sister because of his own problems.

If his third sister lost her job, would she be eaten alive by her old lady?

It feels terrible to think about it.

But he changed his mind and thought that if he could enter Shichun, he would get a salary. With the salary, he could buy anything, chickens and dogs! He didn't care about them! So he happily agreed to Chunni's request.

Yang Anzhang was about to say something, but Chunni shook her head and motioned for him to go back and talk.

After dealing with Er Laizi, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Chunni waved her hand and invited everyone to have a meal at Chunni Restaurant.
