She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 96 Forcibly Settling the Matter
The two started arguing, neither willing to back down.

There are team committee members nearby; the brigade leader isn't here, so the accountant can't just sit idly by.

So they came over and offered a few words of advice.

"Alright, alright, it's all for the autumn harvest, there's no need to ruin our harmony."

The educated youth Gu and Zhou also need farm tools to pick corn and cut straw today.

Please register them. They have three sickles; they can come and choose whichever they prefer.

Their intention was simple: they wanted to settle things peacefully.

Moreover, it wasn't just a few comrades who were assigned to the hillside; everyone in front of them was also allocated tools.

In other words, those who are too far back in the queue have already had all the good ones picked out.

Only when there is no other way will one resort to bare hands.

"No, Uncle, let them pick corn today and cut the stalks tomorrow."

This means they have no intention of being grateful and are determined to fight them to the death.

The accountant standing next to him was also speechless.

If the captain hadn't sent him, he wouldn't have indulged him.

After adjusting his mindset, he continued.

“Zhou Zhiqing, you’ve just arrived in the countryside, you don’t know how to do the work quickly.”

"For harvesting corn, the stalks can be cut off beforehand, and then the rest of the people can break them up. With men and women working together, it's quite fast."

Furthermore, this way, the people picking corn later can sit down, which is a way to save effort.

"Uncle, why are you making excuses for them?"

Look at the attitude of these people! If we don't do anything, who knows what will happen in the future!

This guy is really putting on an act.

He was just a temporary registrar; I don't know who gave him the courage.

Gu Yuncheng looked at the six people in front of him with an extremely arrogant attitude.

Especially when his gaze swept over Ji Shuyin, he felt a sense of victory.

"You guys, hurry up and get to work, don't delay others from getting their farm tools."

Zhou Chaoyang was also angry and confronted him directly.

"Well, as I said, I must receive the sickle today."

The accountant has already spoken up, so who do you think you are?

"Hmph, no means no."

I'm the registrar for today, and what I say goes. Get out of here and stop causing trouble.

It's obvious that this person did it on purpose.

Ji Shuyin thought that this person probably did this because of her.

Just as I was about to speak, Zhao Baogang came over.

"What are you doing? I can hear you arguing from far away."

His daughter, Zhao Yuexiang, accompanied him.

The man quickly walked to the table and looked at Gu Yuncheng with a nervous expression.

"Gu Zhiqing, are you alright? Did they bully you?"

This shows genuine concern, completely disregarding what others might think.

Turning her head, she met Zhou Chaoyang's gaze.

"Zhou Zhiqing, what are you doing? Are you looking at me like you want to eat me alive?"

He made an indiscriminate attack, which even Huang Chunjing, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand.

"You've just arrived, and you haven't even asked about the cause and effect. What gives you the right to directly criticize Zhou Zhiqing?"

Doesn't this angry look say something?

Zhao Baogang isn't stupid; he had no choice but to make Gu Yuncheng the temporary registrar today.

Now this kind of thing is happening again, and I'm really worried sick.

"Is the autumn harvest a time for you to play around?"

Don't you even consider what's most important right now?
I don't care what grudges you have, you'd better bear with them.

"You've delayed the harvest; you all need to write a self-criticism."

The captain was angry, and the accountant, not being stupid, quickly went over and whispered something to him. The accountant gave Gu Yuncheng a look of exasperation, equally furious.

"You, register three sickles for them."

That look in his eyes was terrifying; even Gu, the scumbag, couldn't help but shudder.

"But...but they clearly don't need it, and..."

"Shut up, you can do this registration work if you can, otherwise get back to the fields."

"Say one more word, and you'll see!"

Even the most meticulous person can be no match for a ruthless one. Zhao Baogang's thunderous rage is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

Gu Yuncheng gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

He sat down angrily, writing something in his hand.

Over there, the accountant quickly grabbed three sickles and handed them to Zhou Chaoyang.

"Zhou Zhiqing, hurry up and get to work."

"Hmph, about this matter..."

Before he could finish speaking, his arms were grabbed.

Looking back, I saw Ji Shuyin and Jiang Shi'an, one on the left and one on the right.

Ji Shuyin shook her head, signaling him to stop talking.

The man's temper immediately calmed down considerably.

"I don't want to take up everyone's time today, and I hope that some people can find their place."

Stop pretending to be a big shot, it lowers your status.

It was clearly directed at Gu Yuncheng, and the other party didn't respond.

They shouted "Next!" and then left.

Upon arriving at their destination, the group was furious.

"I really want them to give me a clear explanation of what happened today."

Gu Yun's rise to power was illegitimate and his position unjustified; he still wanted to be a temporary registrar? He was dreaming!

"Exactly, and this is all happening without anyone knowing. Why should we?"

Zhou Chaoyang complained for a long time before turning to look at Ji Shuyin.

"Ji Zhiqing, why did you stop me from arguing with him just now?"

Actually, Jiang Shi'an was also trying to stop him, but he just wanted to talk to Ji Shuyin.

"Anyone with eyes can see that he deliberately made things difficult for us today. The reason why the captain got so angry was just to cover it up!"

There's no need for us to hold on so stubbornly and delay the harvest; that would be bad.

Huang Chunjing, however, had a different opinion.

"That's Gu Yuncheng's business, it has nothing to do with us."

She shook her head; this person's thinking was still too naive.

No, it's rainy in autumn.

The weather has been good these past few days, but it could change any day, so everyone in the village is very concerned about the timing of the harvest.

If we really encounter difficulties, people will only say, "If it weren't for those few educated youth causing trouble, things wouldn't have turned out this way..."

Yes, once one's own interests are involved, all participants, even victims, will be condemned.

Jiang Shi'an also agreed with this view and continued speaking in the same vein.

"That's right, that's exactly the point."

The autumn harvest is a crucial period in the year; how we live in the second half of the year depends on the results of these last few days!
For someone like Gu Yuncheng, there's no need for us to offend everyone in the production team, young and old.

Prioritizing the overall situation is a normal human thought.

However, Zhou Chaoyang was still very angry, feeling that he had been manipulated by this person today.

"But I just can't swallow this anger. Why should we be bullied by him?"

We can't just let this go.

Ji Shuyin glanced at him, feeling uncomfortable as well.

"Of course, how could we just let it go after bullying someone?"

The two girls exchanged a glance, knowing she was full of ideas, and quickly moved closer.

"Shuyin, do you have a good idea?"
