The Chen family is a big family in Babaoliang Village, and most of the people there are either clan relatives or in-laws. With their complicated connections, they have great power.
Chen Jianying himself was quite capable, especially in his ability to curry favor with people, so when the election for village party secretary took place that year, he was a sure winner.
Unexpectedly, Li Tau, who had served in the army for many years, suddenly retired from the army due to injury and merit. As soon as he returned to the village, he was directly appointed as the village branch secretary of Babaoliang Brigade by his superiors.
Chen Jianying's dream of becoming a party secretary was dashed before he could even realize it. In desperation, he had to settle for the second best and was appointed as the team leader of the fourth production team of Tuanjie Commune.
Although there is not much difference between the team leader and the village party secretary in terms of administrative level, there is a big difference in power.
The team leader is only in charge of the affairs of a production team, while the village party secretary is in charge of all the affairs of an administrative village. Usually, an administrative village will govern multiple natural villages.
Therefore, Li Tau not only had the power to manage the two brigades in Babaoliang Village, but also the affairs of each production team!
Although Yang Milan came here today mainly to talk to his father-in-law about not going to work in the future. But before getting approval from the brigade, he had to continue doing his job as a scorer. Otherwise, it means giving up, which is an attitude problem and a very serious matter.
Soon, after registering the production tasks of several production teams, several village cadres returned to the brigade headquarters.
.....
After entering, Li Tau filled his pipe with tobacco and asked, "Why don't I see li mercy coming to work?"
Before Yang Milan could speak, maggie shouted, "Grandpa, Mommy is sleeping soundly in bed!"
"Maggie, stop talking nonsense!"
Then Yang Milan explained with a smile: "Dad, li mercy is not feeling well today, so I asked her to rest at home for a day!"
"Not feeling well? Are you sick?"
Before Yang Milan could say anything, he heard the team leader Chen Jianying say sarcastically, "Humph, Secretary Li, your daughter is really spoiled!"
Li Tau frowned and said, "Captain Chen, what do you mean by that?"
"It's the busy farming season now, and everyone's busy from morning till night. It's normal to have a headache or a fever. Have you ever seen anyone hide at home because of such a minor illness? If that's not being spoiled, what is it?"
Chen Jianying said coldly, not hiding his dissatisfaction at all.
Li Tau knew that Chen Jianying was not convinced of him and was not afraid of him as the village party secretary, but he still couldn't help feeling angry when he heard him say that.
"My daughter is just spoiled, so what? Did she eat your food?"
Li Tau, a daughter-slave, hates to see others talking about his daughter the most. When he heard this, he immediately got angry.
"You didn't eat my food, but what will the other members think of you doing this?"
"Think whatever you want. I, Li Tau, am upright and have no fear of what others say!"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to walk or sit straight!"
"What do you mean by that? If you think I'm being partial or corrupt, you can go to the commune and complain to me. Why are you complaining here?"
"You haven't cheated for personal gain, have you? If you hadn't, how could this guy get the position of scorekeeper?"
Chen Jianying pointed at Yang Milan and spoke loudly, with a hint of resentment and a bit of disdain in his tone, but more of anger.
In Chen Jianying's view, it was Li Tau who took his position, so he held a grudge against Li Tau.
Chen Jianying's words really hit Li Tau's sore spot. He was indeed selfish in letting Yang Milan be the scorer. Mainly because he could not resist his daughter's pleading, he gave Yang Milan the most leisurely job in the entire production team.
However, Li Tau was not afraid to lose face. He slammed the table and said, "I just let my son-in-law be the scorekeeper. What can you do? If you can find someone in the village with a higher level of education than him, I will make him give up this scorekeeper position!"
"Nonsense! Everyone knows he's an educated youth from the city. He's well-educated. But he's just a scorekeeper. He only needs to be able to read and do arithmetic. Why does he need such a high level of education?"
"Humph, being educated is an advantage. If you don't agree, go to the commune and sue me. If you have nothing to do, don't make such a fuss in front of me. If you piss me off, I'll beat you so hard that even your mother won't recognize you!"
When Yang Milan arrived at the production team, his father-in-law Li Tau, team leader Chen Jianying, and team leader Zhang Genwang were assigning tasks.
Seeing Yang Milan coming over, Chen Tingying immediately said, "Yang Milan, please register today's production tasks for Team 4!"
Hearing Chen Jianying's words, Yang Milan couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
If the timing wasn't inappropriate, he really wanted to rush up and smash that bastard's villain face to pieces.
The reason why Li mercy committed suicide with maggie in her previous life was directly related to the human-like thing in front of her.
If Yang Milan's abandonment destroyed Li mercy hope of life, then the oppression and oppression by Chen Jianying and the entire Chen family was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
However, Yang Milan did not take action. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
It's not that he doesn't want to beat this guy up, but he feels that beating him up won't solve the problem and will only give him something to hold against him.
Moreover, in his opinion, people like Chen Jianying should stay in jail or be taken out to eat peanuts. Just being beaten was too easy for him.
So he calmly picked up the thick notebook and began to record the tasks of the production team.
