Chapter 87 Praising Wang Weiguo to Death

Wang Weiguo wanted to use the same old tricks to shut her up.

Anmin acted as if she hadn't heard the rest of his sentence and walked straight to the edge of the patch of land that had been turned upside down.

She stretched out her foot and gently nudged the wheat seedlings that had been turned over with her toes, saying regretfully, "Such good wheat seedlings, Liang Yi went to so much trouble to get these high-quality seeds, and now they've been ruined."

She raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the villagers present, finally settling on Wang Weiguo, a sneer playing on her lips.

“Liang Yi, Officer Wang said it was to meet the deadline and complete the task. He also said that he would take the credit and take the blame if anything went wrong. Officer Wang is so good to us.”

"Otherwise, you can let Officer Wang do it. He said he's taken responsibility."

Upon hearing An Min's words, Liang Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, instantly understanding her meaning.

After all, she was his wife, and he knew her personality best. Anmin wouldn't say much to someone she disliked.

She's trying to flatter Wang Weiguo to his detriment.

And people like Wang Weiguo are most susceptible to being flattered to the point of ruin.

Sure enough, upon hearing An Min's words, Wang Weiguo felt as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline, and his back straightened instantly.

Even An Min admitted that Wang Weiguo was thinking about the bigger picture and was willing to take responsibility. This woman finally said something sensible.

He glanced at Liang Yi smugly, as if he could already see himself in his glorious moment.

"That's it."

Wang Weiguo immediately seized the opportunity and loudly proclaimed something.

"Comrade Anmin is right. I'm doing this for the sake of the work, so that everyone won't get punished. Liang Yi, don't be so stubborn. Just do as I say, and I guarantee you won't go wrong."

He patted his chest, his spittle almost spraying onto Liang Yi's face.

Seeing this, and hearing An Min agree with Wang Weiguo, the surrounding villagers felt that Wang Weiguo was right even more.

Liang Yi's face was ashen, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping the hoe were white.

An Min acted as if she hadn't seen him, still smiling as she looked at Wang Weiguo, her eyes like she was watching a monkey about to go on stage.

Seeing An Min like this, Liang Yi decided to cooperate with An Min in putting on a show.

"Good! Very good!"

Liang Yi seemed to laugh out of sheer anger, slamming the hoe to the ground, which startled several villagers.

He pointed at Wang Weiguo, his voice icy: "Wang Weiguo, since you're so eager to take on this responsibility and insist on doing it this way, fine, I'll grant your wish."

After saying this, Liang Yi told Wang Weiguo to wait there while he went back to get the documents.

He threw the document at Wang Weiguo and said coldly, "Wang Weiguo, since you want to take it all on, then sign this document. I will not interfere in anything else after this."

Wang Weiguo was stunned when the document was slapped down. He instinctively caught it, but before he could even look at it, he was excited by Liang Yi's words.

Is he planning to relinquish power?

Seeing Liang Yi do this, An Min's voice rang out again: she had to add fuel to the fire and make it burn even brighter.

“Liang Yi, you’re such a rigid person! Since Officer Wang is so confident and willing to take responsibility, we should support him, right, folks?”

She glanced around and continued, "Officer Wang is a veteran in Baiyanggou, very experienced. If he says he can do it, he must have his reasons! Let's just let him do it. When the harvest is plentiful, all the credit will go to Officer Wang, and we'll benefit too, won't we?" Her words sounded like she was praising Wang Weiguo, but coupled with her ambiguous smile, it sounded like she was being sarcastic.

Wang Weiguo was so flattered by An Min's words that he became dizzy, and the shame and anger he felt from Liang Yi's scolding were instantly suppressed by the vanity of An Min's praise.

"Listen to what Comrade An Min has to say! That's what a wise person is!"

“I’ve been in Baiyanggou for so many years, what storms haven’t I seen? This time, I’ll do it my way! If any problems arise, I’ll take full responsibility and I won’t drag anyone down with me! Liang Yi, just you wait and see.”

Looking at his reckless behavior and then at An Min's cunning eyes, Liang Yi took a deep breath and said, "Fine, you're in charge of this land. What to plant and how to plant it are all up to you."

After saying that, he turned around and grabbed An Min's wrist: "Let's go!"

The action seemed rough, but the force with which he grabbed Anmin's wrist unconsciously softened, and he carefully avoided her stomach.

As An Min was being pulled along, she didn't forget to turn back and give Wang Weiguo, whose face was beaming with pride, an encouraging smile: "Go, Officer Wang! We all believe in you!"

Wang Weiguo saw this smile as approval and expectation, but Liang Yi saw it as something like a little fox that had stolen a chicken.

Liang Yi pulled An Min along until they were quite a distance away and he was sure the people behind them couldn't hear him anymore before he stopped: "Minmin, I don't think I held you back just now, did I?"

An Min smiled and hugged Liang Yi: "No, you did a really good job just now~ I really wanted to praise him to death. The higher you praise him, the harder he'll fall. Let him completely court disaster, so that he and those clueless people behind him can truly understand what utter stupidity means!"

“With Wang Weiguo around, you will face obstacles in doing things. You might as well get rid of him.”

"This time, I'm going to make Wang Weiguo understand what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot."

Liang Yi nodded in response to An Min's words.

"By the way, I found a piece of land to the east with very good soil. I had someone plant some seeds there as a backup plan."

Liang Yi patted An Min's head and said this.

After Liang Yi and An Min left, Wang Weiguo became increasingly smug and immediately directed the villagers to plow the land and sow seeds again according to his ideas.

He chose old seeds that had been stockpiled in the warehouse for several years, completely disregarding what Liang Yi had said before.

Although the villagers had doubts, seeing him pat his chest and guarantee it, and knowing that Anmin had approved of him, they reluctantly did as he said.

Wang Weiguo spends his days pointing fingers in the fields, complaining that the soil isn't turned deep enough or that the watering is too frequent, yet he can't even distinguish between wheat seedlings and weeds.

An experienced farmer whispered to him that the planting density was too high, but he glared at him and said, "What do you know? High density means high yield."

On the other hand, Liang Yi and An Min rarely went near that piece of land, focusing instead on taking care of Xintian to the east.

After the rain, the wheat seedlings on the east side sprouted vigorously, lush and green. However, the plot of land that Wang Weiguo was in charge of had a low germination rate due to the old seeds, and the density was too high. The sparse seedlings were yellow and thin, like bean sprouts, and they also attracted a lot of insects.

Some villagers secretly told Wang Weiguo about this, but he stubbornly refused to admit his mistake: "Do you understand this is called seedling training? No pain, no gain. The yield will definitely be higher than Liang Yi's in the end."

Even if he wanted to get off the pirate ship now, he couldn't. He had agreed to the deal, and he had to do it whether he wanted to or not.

But what truly embarrassed Wang Weiguo was another storm that struck three days later.

Just like the previous batch of seeds that were crushed, after a rain, almost everything in Wang Weiguo's field was lost.

The losses were fifty times greater than Liang Yi's.
