Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Chapter 2196 Cousin is a capitalist lady 22
Zhang Yu walked quietly on the road back to the village, listening to the footsteps behind her, knowing that Zhan Min was behind her.

This person caused a ruckus for so long, getting all the staff of the commune to come out, but in the end, he still had to go back to the village.

Zhang Yu didn't know what she was thinking, but she figured she must be holding a grudge against them. If they said they wanted to stay, she would stay too, so that the commune leaders would know that the village chief had gone too far.

Now that they've all gone back to the village, what will the commune leaders think of her? Will they think she's a troublemaker?

Zhan Min was unhappy just thinking about it, and glared fiercely at Zhang Yu and the others' backs.

As Zhang Yu watched the sky gradually darken, he cursed Zhan Min in his heart. What an idiot! If she was going to go back to the village anyway, why did she make such a fuss in the first place?

Now look what's happened. They're going to have to walk at night, and with the howling of wolves coming from the mountains, it would be a lie to say Zhang Yu isn't worried. Although Wang Ji said the wolves are deep in the mountains and they won't come out, Zhang Yu still doesn't dare to be careless.

In the original owner's memory, these wolves had appeared before, perhaps twice or three times. Although they did not appear in the village, they did appear in the places where villagers often cut firewood and picked mushrooms, which frightened the villagers quite a bit.

After all, those are wolves. Once a wolf sets its sights on you, no one can escape.

"What an idiot." Zhao Yadong hadn't expected that they would hear wolves howling before they even reached the village. He was terrified and felt a strong aversion to Zhan Min.

Qian Hao didn't say anything, but from his quickened pace, you could tell that he also wanted to get back to the village as soon as possible. After all, there were more people in the village, and it was at least safer there.

Zhang Hui was also quite frightened. Before, she had been complaining about how she hadn't reached the village yet and grumbling about not being able to walk. But now, hearing the howling of wolves, she dared not complain anymore and quickened her pace, not daring to fall behind.

She was genuinely worried that if she fell behind, and wolves suddenly appeared, she would be completely doomed.

She hasn't reunited with her parents yet, she hasn't lived the life of a pampered young lady, she absolutely cannot die in Northeast China, she hasn't had enough of her good life yet.

This belief kept Zhang Hui going. Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Hui in surprise and thought, "Wow, she actually persevered."

That's true. With the original owner of this body around, she could certainly be a bit spoiled, because the original owner would help her out.

Just then, Zhan Min rushed up at lightning speed, much to everyone's surprise.

Wasn't this guy sulking and trying to keep his distance? Why is he chasing after us now?

"You scared me to death," Zhan Min said embarrassedly.

No one spoke. The sun had already set, and the sound of wolves howling made everyone even more nervous. No one dared to hold them back.

Wang Ji originally thought it would be past six o'clock when they arrived at the village, but he didn't expect that thanks to the howling wolves, the six educated youths actually managed to keep going and were quite fast, which relieved him.

After walking a little further, the wolf howls finally subsided, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, indicating that they were far away from the wolf pack.

At this moment, Zhang Yu remembered something, "Village chief, I want to ask, is there any easy job in the village?"

According to the rules, they can rest tomorrow and start activities the day after tomorrow. Rather than going to the village chief tomorrow and getting targeted by Zhan Min, it's better to find out today.

"Yes, minimum work points." The village chief briefly explained the minimum work point standards for different time periods. He wasn't surprised that Zhang Yu would ask such a question. Even though they had managed to get this far, the village chief knew it was all thanks to the wolf howls; otherwise, they didn't know where they would have ended up.

Zhan Min looked at Zhang Yu with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with you? We came here to build a new countryside. You haven't even tried, how do you know it can't be done?"

Zhang Yu was too lazy to argue with her. "I don't know how to do farm work. I know my own limitations. Since I can't do it well, all I can do is not cause trouble for the village. If the work is not done well and we have to redo it, wouldn't that delay things?"

"And I didn't ask the village chief to give me the full work points if I did the easiest work. My request is very simple: I'll give you the work points for the amount of work I do. Is that okay, village chief?" Zhang Yu asked Wang Ji directly.

"Of course." The village chief was very satisfied with Zhang Yu. See? He was someone who understood his situation very well.

“Look, even the village chief has no objections, so what are you making a fuss about? You’re so great, if you want to get all the work points, that’s your business. I’m not envious, I’m not jealous, it’s just that you’re great.”

"I won't ask you to give me any of your work points."

"By the way, village chief, if I don't have enough work points to exchange for grain by the end of the year, can I exchange them with the village for money?" Zhang Yu asked.

"The village can't exchange much of this, but you can trade it with other villagers." Usually, the village will keep some grain, but not much, to prevent villagers from taking it in advance.

"Oh, right, you educated youth can't get food in advance, that's the rule." Wang Ji remembered a rule he hadn't mentioned.

"Although you educated youth can get advances on grain, that's only for the beginning, as stipulated by the higher authorities. After that, any further advances on grain will be based on work points."

Wang Ji first explained the regulations, saying, "You are aware of them, so don't keep telling me that villagers can get advances on grain, so why can't you?"

Wang Ji figured it out. Although the girl with Zhang Yu and the two boys who had been quiet earlier hadn't said anything either, he knew they weren't the type to cause trouble. He was just worried that Zhan Min would make a fuss, so he explained it to her.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Min was naturally unhappy that Wang Ji was once again treating educated youth and villagers differently, and thought that Wang Ji was going too far.

"Don't say I'm going too far or that I'm treating people differently. What if you educated youth take the grain in advance and then go back to visit your families, and then you get a transfer order saying you're going back to work in the city instead of returning to the village? What will happen to the grain you took in advance? Who will the village ask for it back?"

“The villagers have received advance payments, at least their families are still alive. But you educated youth have received advance payments for grain, and you just say you're going back to the city.” Wang Ji didn’t have much affection for the educated youth to begin with, and after all this commotion this afternoon, he had even less affection for them.

"This rule applies not only to our village, but also to other communes." Wang Ji knew that these educated youth would definitely share information with each other, but he really didn't care.

"Of course, if you insist on suing me at the commune, the county, the city, or the province, I don't care," Wang Ji snorted.

Although no names were mentioned, Zhang Yu knew that this was a dredging up of Zhan Min's previous words.

Zhan Min understood the implication of his words and was genuinely annoyed. But in the end, although she seemed to have won the farce at the commune, did the village chief really lose?
Zhan Min knew that the commune leaders already disliked her a lot, but they were only restrained by her status as an educated youth. She snorted and continued to stride forward.

Don't be fooled by Zhan Min's nonchalant and indifferent demeanor; she's actually quite panicked inside. Only now has she realized that she'll be living under Wang Ji's command for the next few years, and if he wanted to get rid of her, it would be an easy task for him.

Zhan Min was furious and glared at Zhang Yu again. She knew this person was the worst.

Zhang Yu was frustrated to be glared at again for no reason. It was truly speechless to be targeted by someone who wasn't thinking straight.
