1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

Wen Li sneered, thinking that this would allow her to escape unscathed?

Shu Yun felt wronged. "Captain, this really has nothing to do with me. I don't know how the glass shards ended up in the field!"

Liu Xiu chimed in, explaining, "Captain, Tang Zhiqing accidentally bumped into me, and that's how I accidentally bumped into Shu Zhiqing's cabinet!"

The captain raised his hand to stop their long-winded speech.

"I don't want to know who broke it, I just want to know who threw it in the field. You'd better tell the truth now. Admitting your mistakes will only result in a few work points being deducted. But if I find out, I'll put a note on your files!"

The educated youth in the compound exchanged glances. If negative comments were recorded in their files, they would not be given priority consideration even if there were quotas for returning to the city in the future.

Now no one admits it anymore. It's one thing to hurt people, but if you hurt the old ox, you'll be drowned in the spittle of the villagers if you tell anyone.

An old ox is far more valuable than a clever person!

Moreover, it will be recorded.

"Captain, perhaps we could check who approached this area this morning!"

The speaker was Zhou Yu, and no one expected that someone who was usually so quiet would stand up at this moment.

The captain turned his gaze to Wen Li again.

"I've been here all morning, and apart from a few villagers passing by, I haven't seen anyone come near!" Wen Li thought for a moment, then continued, "However, I did ask to use the restroom in the middle of the day, so I can ask Aunt Wang and Uncle Li!"

Aunt Wang was covered in mud and had already gone back to change her clothes, but the brigade leader sent someone to call her back.

Wen Li clearly noticed that Niu Zhaodi was panicking. She probably didn't expect that something that seemed foolproof would go wrong here!

Niu Zhaodi was indeed extremely anxious, desperately trying to signal Tang Shi with her eyes, but Tang Shi seemed oblivious, her expression remaining unchanged, and even her eyes showing a hint of worry for Da Huang.

He looked even more anxious than the villagers.

Wen Li guessed that Niu Zhaodi didn't have the brains to scheme against people, and she had a suspicion about who was behind it all, which is now confirmed.

However, given Tang Shi's intelligence, this matter certainly won't involve her.

But so what? Let's teach Niu Zhaodi a lesson today, and deal with Tang Shi later.

Otherwise, people would really think that Wen Li is easy to bully!

Sure enough, as soon as Aunt Wang arrived, she pointed the finger at Niu Zhaodi.

"Damn it! When Niu Zhiqing passed by, I heard something fall into the water. I thought it was a pebble, but who knew she was so heartless as to throw a shard of glass into the water!"

Aunt Wang has recovered and now she has a whole repertoire of swearing.

Although Wen Li and Aunt Wang worked together, they took different routes to collect water plants. The place where Da Huang was injured was exactly the place Wen Li was going to pass by.

Perhaps Niu Zhaodi intended to harm herself, but she didn't expect to be stepped on by Da Huang.

If Niu Zhaodi hadn't been a girl, the brigade leader probably would have taken action. "Niu, you educated youth, do you have anything else to say?"

"Niu Zhiqing, you're so vicious! What grudge do you have against Dahuang? Why are you trying to harm it?"

"Absolutely! Do you know how much trouble Big Yellow's injury has caused?"

Niu Zhaodi burst into tears after being scolded, crying, "I didn't mean to hurt Dahuang, I really didn't do it on purpose!"

Niu Zhaodi's statement is tantamount to admitting that she was the one who did it.

Tang Shi cursed "idiot" in her heart. As long as she didn't admit it, there was no evidence. After all, those were just people's guesses. She knew Niu Zhaodi was stupid, but she didn't expect her to be this stupid.

Aunt Wang thought that if Wen Li hadn't pulled her away, she would have almost lost her life. Enraged, she pounced on Niu Zhaodi and started hitting her.

"Ah~ I didn't mean to hurt Da Huang. It was Wen Zhiqing. She scolded me last night, so I just wanted to teach her a lesson!"

Aunt Wang hit him even harder, yelling, "You think you can hurt people like this just because I scolded you a couple of times? I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard!"

"Ah~ Let me go, you shrew!"

"I'm a shrew! You almost killed me! I'm being lenient by hitting you!"

Aunt Wang got up from the ground after she had finished hitting her, and then spat at Niu Zhaodi on the ground.

She was the victim. Everyone saw what happened. If Wen Li hadn't reacted quickly, given Aunt Wang's physique, it's hard to say whether she would have survived if Da Huang had stepped on her.

Chen Jiahao, the person in charge of the educated youth compound, had no right to criticize anything.

Just because of a couple of words, she's going to hurt someone like this. I don't know what that pig-headed Niu Zhaodi is thinking.

Niu Zhaodi has already admitted that the brigade leader directly fined her 100 work points, and then she has to carry manure for a month, which will also be recorded in her file.

Niu Zhaodi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She hadn't expected the brigade leader to actually record it in her file. She immediately burst into tears and clung to the brigade leader's leg, wailing and crying.

But no matter how much she pleaded, the captain wouldn't budge. This was too bad. Just because of a few words, someone had to be harmed like this. If the punishment wasn't severe, wouldn't others follow suit?

Tang Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Niu Zhaodi hadn't implicated her. Thank goodness...

Wen Li's lips twitched slightly, secretly amused that she had let her guard down too early.

Given Niu Zhaodi's personality, once she figured out the key to it, she wouldn't let things go so easily without peeling back a layer of the skin of Tang poetry.

Niu Zhaodi was still wailing when Chen Jiahao and Li Hong couldn't bear it any longer and pleaded with the brigade leader, who then relented.

"In that case, I'll leave it out of her file for now. We'll see how she behaves next. If she makes another mistake, no amount of pleading will help!"

"Thank you, Captain. I will keep an eye on Niu Zhiqing and make sure she doesn't make the same mistake again!"

"Niu Zhiqing, get up now!"

Li Hong quickly gave Niu Zhaodi a meaningful look, and Niu Zhaodi hurriedly wiped away her tears and snot, apologizing and thanking her profusely, and the matter was finally over.

However, Niu Zhaodi was completely disliked by everyone.

"What are you all still doing here? Don't you want to go home for dinner today?"

The captain yelled, and everyone left.

Since Dahuang couldn't work in the fields and time was really tight, the team leader had no choice but to swallow his pride and rent a cow from next door to help with the work.

However, the cost of renting the ox is deducted from the cattle herder's work points.

Niu Zhaodi was filled with remorse and cried out in despair.

Niu Zhaodi was never a good worker, earning only six or seven work points a day. Over the years, her work points were used not only to support herself but also to send grain home. This time, not only were a hundred work points deducted, but the money for renting the ox was also deducted.

Niu Zhaodi will likely either starve to death or freeze to death this winter!

Seeing that two days had passed and she still hadn't thought of going to find Tang Shi, Wen Li could only shake her head and sigh. She was a kind person and couldn't bear to see Niu Zhaodi in such a miserable state, so she decided to find an opportunity to remind her.

Wen Li was so moved by her own kindness that she almost cried!
