Chapter 677 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked

As soon as Zhang Xinwang heard this, he knew that this person was most likely after money. Zhang Xinwang had no money to give them. Not to mention that he had no money, even if he had some, he would not give it to such people.

"Why did it become like this? Didn't Li Hu tell you? Don't you know that he is asking for trouble?"

Wu Dahua didn't care and just wanted money. "I don't care, you have to compensate us, otherwise we won't leave."

"If you don't leave, we'll report it to the police. We'll then investigate Li Hu's stalking of the female educated youth and his ill intentions towards her. If this gets out, Li Hu won't just be able to return to the city; he'll be demoted directly."

When Wu Dahua heard about being sent down to the countryside, she was scared. If she was sent down to the countryside, everyone in her family would be implicated.

Zhang Xinwang originally thought that the person had an accident at his place, and he just came to take a look out of humanitarianism.

But seeing Wu Dahua like this, Zhang Xinwang didn't want to say anything and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Even if they want to go back to the city, they should be the ones to please him. If they want to go back to the city, the letters of introduction and files are still in his hands.

As for Huang Xia, she felt a little guilty about facing Zhang Xinwang. They really couldn't say anything about what Hu Shixiu had done.

Huang Xia didn't think there was anything wrong with Hu Shixiu's behavior, but since someone caught him, Hu Shixiu would be in trouble.

In fact, she had originally planned to extort money from the Red Star Brigade, but after discussing it with Hu Shixiu yesterday, she decided that this matter had nothing to do with the Red Star Brigade.

Moreover, Hu Shixiu told her not to provoke anyone from the Red Star Brigade.

Her injury had nothing to do with the brigade; it was a ghost who did it.

Huang Xia originally didn't believe in those ghost legends, but Hu Shixiu described it in such detail that she dared not disbelieve it.

She didn't know whether there was a ghost or not, but she knew Hu Shixiu's character. She would never let go of any grudge. There was no need for her to lie about such a thing, not to mention that the other party had crippled one of her legs.

They are just ordinary people and there is no possibility of winning against ghosts, so they can't wait to leave here immediately.

Of course, another reason is that she is not as stupid as Wu Dahua.

Hu Shixiu told her that Zhang Xinwang was almost like a local emperor here.

There were many very wealthy educated youth in the Red Star Brigade, whose families had connections here and had made arrangements with people like this, so Zhang Xinwang was still very prestigious in this area.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, not to mention that you are not a strong dragon. You should stay calm in other people's territory and not be too arrogant. If you are too arrogant, Wu Dahua is a good example.

Seeing that Huang Xia was so sensible, Zhang Xinwang's expression improved a little.

"Let me remind you, in ten days at most it will snow heavily here. After the heavy snow, the roads will be closed and you won't be able to leave, so it's best to leave within ten days."

Originally, Zhang Xinwang saw Wu Dahua's attitude and didn't want to bother with them, wanting them to suffer, but seeing that Huang Xia's attitude was not bad, he reminded them a few words.

Hearing this, Huang Xia quickly thanked him, "Thank you for the reminder, Captain."

Huang Xia was very glad that she listened to her daughter. If she hadn't listened and ended up like Wu Dahua, they would have been trapped here this winter.

Don't even think about going back if you're stuck here for three or four months. By then, your work will have problems and you'll have to spend a lot of money, which will be a big problem.

As for leaving directly, Hu Shixiu and Li Hu's letters of introduction are still with Zhang Xinwang. How can they leave?

Also, if it really snows heavily, it will be a problem for them to return to the Red Star Brigade.

After all, both Li Hu and Hu Shixiu were still lame, especially Li Hu. By then, he would be really helpless.

"Hu Zhiqing still has a lot of things at the Zhiqing Institute. He can go back and pack them up and leave. The return procedures have been almost completed.

When you go to the Youth Corps to pack up your things, just come to my house to get a letter of introduction."

Hearing this, Huang Xia quickly apologized. Seeing them like this, Zhang Xinwang didn't say anything. He visited Hu Shixiu and went back with Zhou Youfu.

Two days later, Huang Xia and Wu Dahua arrived at the Red Star Brigade. Although they did not want to come together, they had no choice because there were no ox carts going to the county town every day these days.

If I don't go today, I will have to wait another five days to get it. I don't know when I will be able to go back. If it snows heavily by then, I really won't be able to go back.

If they drag it on here for so long, not to mention the job problem, once the letter of introduction expires, they will become refugees, and it will be very troublesome to get a new letter of introduction.

Seeing Huang Xia and Wu Dahua, everyone in the Red Star Brigade was stunned.

Everyone has heard about the battle between Wu Dahua and Huang Xia, and everyone wishes they could have been there, but no one expected it to be so intense.

Even after three days, the injuries on both men were still very obvious.

Especially Wu Dahua, who had gauze wrapped around her head with bloodstains on it, which was very conspicuous and looked very serious.

Because of excessive blood loss, his face was pale, and there were blood streaks all over his face and neck, which looked like they were scratched.

Especially from the eyes to the neck, the two very deep bloodstains are particularly obvious and look very scary.

Huang Xia was not in a much better condition. He had a lot of nose bleeding and his face was very pale. His face was bruised by Wu Dahua and several of his teeth were knocked out.

Fortunately, the teeth that were knocked out were all inside and could not be seen by others.

Seeing the two of them like this, everyone in the Red Star Brigade was very surprised.

"I didn't expect that when city people fight, they're just like us country women. They all like to scratch faces, slap people, and pull hair."

"Yes, yes, that was too brutal. Even country women like us don't fight this hard."

"This head must have been hit with a stool. It was a really hard hit."

"But it looks like Hu Zhiqing's mother is more formidable. Look at what Li Zhiqing's mother has become."

Huang Xia and Wu Dahua moved quickly. They were not fools, so they could naturally feel the strange looks and the voices of discussion.

Although those people spoke with an accent, they could still understand what they were saying. They were all making fun of them.

The two of them walked all the way to the educated youth institute, and behind them was a crowd of people who came to watch the show. Both of them felt uncomfortable being stared at.

Huang Xia was a little better off. After all, Hu Shixiu lived in a separate room. With the door closed, she couldn't see those people's eyes or hear those voices.

Therefore, as soon as Huang Xia arrived at Hu Shixiu's house, he closed the door, lit the kerosene lamp and slowly cleaned up.

Wu Dahua was different. Li Hu lived in a dormitory and had no place to hide.

And when she was packing, everyone's eyes were on her, afraid that she would take something extra.

If she took something slightly by mistake or touched someone else's things, those people would become very anxious and quickly correct her, fearing that she was going to steal something.

Being treated like a thief, how could Wu Dahua's face look good? Now his face was so gloomy that ink could drip on it.

The educated youth were also helpless about the fuss they were making.

There was nothing they could do. They were scared of Li Hu, so Li Hu often used their things, such as toothpaste, towels, etc.

Not to mention the food, which must not be seen by Li Hu at all. If Li Hu sees it, it will definitely disappear within a day.

Even if the grain bags are not sealed properly, there will be inexplicable shortage of grain, and nine out of ten times it is Li Hu who did it.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. They really couldn't feel at ease if they didn't keep an eye on Wu Dahua.

Looking at Hu Shixiu's house, Huang Xia was a little hesitant, but still asked when he was getting the letter of introduction from Zhang Xinwang.

"Captain, what are we going to do with Xiu'er's house?"

Zhang Xinwang didn't hide this. "It was agreed upon when the house was built that the house would belong to the brigade once the educated youth left. No matter what the reason for leaving, the house would belong to the brigade. After all, the foundation belonged to the brigade."

Hearing this, Hu Xia's face turned a little unhappy. She really didn't know about this.

You can tell at a glance that this house couldn't be built without spending tens or even a hundred dollars.

With so much money, she could guess what would happen to the house once they left. It would definitely be sold to future educated youth.

"Ah? I really didn't know that. Didn't our Xiu'er tell me that this house wasn't built with subsidies from educated youth?"

Seeing that Huang Xia's attitude was okay, Zhang Xinwang didn't mind explaining a few words.

"Our brigade has a breeding farm, so after the educated youth went to the countryside, they no longer received this subsidy, but they could participate in the farm's dividends like everyone else in the brigade.

The money earned from the farms would be deposited into the brigade's account along with the grain, increasing the value of work points. That is, after dividends were distributed, the work points were extremely valuable, several times more than in other brigades."
