Chapter 181 Fan Yaqing, I admire you
The next day was the weekend, but the farmers in the production team did not rest. Anyone who had something to do asked for leave, and those who didn't had to go to work.
Linglong was a sent-down youth, and it was agreed that she would work part-time while studying, so she and her companion had to work on weekends and holidays. Most of the time, they only worked half a day, but they could complete five to six work points' worth of work.
Last year, when work points were calculated at the end of the year, they did just as much as the lazy men in the village, and even more than some of the educated youth, such as Zhou Manman and Fan Yaqing.
They went to work early in the morning to till the land and clear the furrows, where they ran into Fan Yaqing again. She stood beside them, making sarcastic remarks, criticizing them for relying on their stepfather's help to go to school and for shirking their responsibilities.
"It's true that different people have different fates. If only I had a powerful stepfather, I wouldn't have to work so hard every day!" Fan Yaqing said sarcastically.
"Fan Yaqing, don't you have several stepfathers? Why do you still think it's not enough? Oh, I forgot, they were all sent to the countryside or labor camps because of your mother, so they can't help you, hahaha!" Yuling didn't tolerate her and immediately started to criticize.
Hearing such exciting gossip, everyone rushed over to listen, their eyes sparkling! It was as if they were saying: Did Fan Zhiqing really have several fathers? We want to hear more! Keep going!
At this point, Zhou Manman would definitely not remain silent, and immediately chimed in: "Little Tong, how come she has several stepfathers? Was there a specific order of their births, or were they all from the same period? Tell everyone about it!"
Zhou Manman's words are quite sharp; isn't she clearly implying that Fan Yaqing's mother is a woman who works in that kind of sex industry? No matter how good Fan Yaqing is at pretending, she's bound to explode!
"Zhou Manman, you have several stepfathers! Are you looking for death?!" Fan Yaqing's eyes were full of threat.
Zhou Manman didn't care about her at all. Who was afraid of who! At worst, they'd just never see each other again! She even wanted to scratch Fan Yaqing's reasonably good-looking face!
She was very stubborn. After being abandoned by her family and sent to the countryside, she always felt that everyone had wronged her. She disliked everyone and loved to argue and nitpick. After arriving in the countryside, she kept causing trouble, which annoyed everyone.
It seems that people are quite tolerant of her now. Even Tan Suyun, whose marriage was ruined by her, would at most engage in a verbal battle or even a physical fight with her, but would not stab her in the back.
But Fan Yaqing was different. She caused trouble behind the scenes, making her suffer unspeakable humiliation. She was determined to get revenge!
"Heh, you're going to kill me! Go ahead and do it! You filthy bastard who only knows how to use underhanded tricks behind my back, if you're so capable, don't come to the countryside! Go find your stepfathers and whine to them!"
Zhou Manman rushed up to Fan Yaqing. She was shorter and looked up defiantly, waiting for Fan Yaqing to make the first move before starting the fight!
"Pfft!"
Yu Long laughed. She and her sister hadn't even gotten a chance to fight yet, and Zhou Manman was already rushing out to pick a fight with Fan Yaqing. However, Zhou Manman wasn't exactly a saint either; she quickly stepped aside, waiting to watch the show.
"Hey, Zhou Zhiqing, you'd better save your energy for work. Don't fight with her. Otherwise, when the brigade leader comes, they'll both get a slap on the wrist, and that wouldn't be right for you!"
Zhang Yugui, the current head of the educated youth settlement, rushed to speak up. The two female educated youths often had conflicts, and he had to break them up when they argued, which gave him a terrible headache.
"Hmph, I'll give you face today!" Zhou Manman also realized that it would be better to let the Tong sisters deal with Fan Yaqing! Even the people in the county's G Committee wouldn't dare to mess with the daughter of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
"Fan Yaqing, if you envy us for having a good stepfather, then hurry up and find your mother who was sent to a labor camp but didn't behave herself and secretly ran away to become a fugitive. See if she's found you a few more stepfathers during this time. If she has, then you should carefully choose from them and see which one can give you a good life. Don't just sit here envying us!"
Tong Yuheng walked over, speaking slowly with a mocking smile on her face. She observed Fan Yaqing's expression and, sure enough, when her mother was mentioned, Fan Yaqing's eyes darted around guiltily.
The woman Xiao Liu saw contacting was Sun Xianglan! What is she doing here? We must be careful!
"Tong Yuheng, you're talking nonsense! When did my mother escape? There are wolves on that farm; she might have been killed and dragged away by them. What makes you think she's a fugitive?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, how ruthless! To curse your own mother to be bitten to death by wolves—there's probably no daughter in the world more heartless than you, Fan Yaqing, I admire you!"
Tong Yuheng gave her a thumbs up, then said to his two younger sisters, "Linglong, work hard today. We are outstanding educated youth who volunteered to go to the countryside to support rural development, so don't tarnish this glorious title."
"Fan, how you got here is none of our business, but slacking off at work is a disgrace to us educated youth, and that won't do!"
"Who's slacking off? Your two younger sisters are the ones slacking off. How many days a year do they even work?" Fan Yaqing pointed the gun at Linglong again.
"There's no rush to argue about this. After we finish our work, let Accountant Zhang bring out last year's work points book, average them over the months, and see if my two sisters have done less than you, Fan Yaqing!"
Now, Linglong, you two team up with Fan Zhiqing and go get your tasks. If she doesn't finish even half of the work you were assigned today, make her eat dirt on the ground!
Tong Yuheng patted her clothes, picked up her tools, and left first. She and her mother were in a group, and completing these tasks was a breeze for them.
With tractors and a double-layered plow designed by the Tong sisters, the team no longer needs to manually till large areas of land, saving a lot of effort. This is one of the reasons why everyone is willing to side with the Tong sisters.
The team leader assigned some people to pick up corn stubble or break up large clumps of soil, while most people were assigned to clean the furrows, a task that the tractor couldn't handle.
"I don't want to be in a group with you guys, manager! I don't want to be in a group with them! They'll bully me!"
She asked Zhang Yugui for help. Zhang Yugui looked at the educated youth around him with difficulty. They quickly formed groups of two or three and indicated that they would not be in a group with Fan Yaqing.
Even Zhou Manman and her cousin Fan Jianli teamed up together, which infuriated her. She said, "I'll team up by myself! Humph!" After saying that, she picked up her tools and left.
Linglong took eight work points in half a day. The two of them worked while learning from their older sister, paying attention to their breathing and rhythm, as if they were in harmony with everything around them.
They worked very quickly, and after a short while they would run over to Fan Yaqing to find fault and supervise, which drove Fan Yaqing crazy!
She was assigned a task worth three work points and was supervised by two young maids, so she dared not be careless at all. She was so angry that she tried to find fault with Linglong, but Linglong did her job so neatly that she couldn't find any mistakes.
