Chapter 77: Zhou Ran Shots
He Chunhua said directly, "Are you kidding? I'm not joking with you.
What did you say when you made the bet? Everyone is listening, Wang Jinmei, what do you mean now? Do you want to be a cheat? Don't you?"
Wang Jinmei's face turned blue and white at times.
"Wang Jinmei, don't bully others too much. This is a new era. We don't want to kneel down like the old times."
Wang Jinmei didn't want to be embarrassed, so she started arguing with He Chunhua.
He Chunhua spat in the direction of Wang Jinmei and said, "Bah, come on, you just want to be a swindler.
Why didn’t I see you say this when we were making the bet?
What? Are you planning to be shameless?
It’s a blessing that so many people turned out to be witnesses, otherwise you would have really planned to let this matter go unnoticed!”
The people watching the excitement also felt that Wang Jinmei was so unkind.
Since it is a bet and a promise is made, it must not be regretted.
No one is forcing you to do what you promised yourself.
If He Chunhua loses this time and wants to refuse to pay the ten quick bucks, Wang Jinmei will probably be even more unyielding.
Logically speaking, everyone is on He Chunhua's side in this matter.
Wang Jinmei was yelled at by everyone.
If she knelt down to apologize to He Chunhua today, she would be embarrassed and ridiculed.
However, if she does not kneel down and apologize, she will still be unable to behave in the production team. Others will say that she does not keep her word, and everyone will avoid interacting with her in the future.
But some people say that He Chunhua went too far by making people kneel down. Isn't this an insult to human dignity?
Zhou Ran watched the excitement quietly from the side.
Naturally, she was unhappy when she heard others say that He Chunhua was too tight.
It's fine if their family forced Wang Jinmei to agree to this request. If they agreed voluntarily, why does it mean that their family has gone too far?
However, in order to prevent others from saying that her mother was mean and aggressive in the future, Zhou Ran still intervened and said, "If Aunt Jinmei really doesn't want to kneel down, it's okay, then why don't we pay ten yuan to our family?"
If we lose, we will also give you ten dollars, so we are equal, and the request is reasonable, right?"
He Chunhua naturally listened to her daughter.
If Wang Jinmei is unwilling to kneel down, it would be nice to be compensated ten yuan.
For country people, ten yuan is enough to make people feel bleeding and distressed for a while.
After Zhou Ran said this, no one who was watching the excitement said anything.
Wang Jinmei felt that asking her to give ten yuan to the Zhou family was harder than asking her to kneel down and kowtow.
Their family is so poor, where can they come up with money?
After feeling entangled in her heart, Wang Jinmei reluctantly gritted her teeth and knelt down to apologize to He Chunhua.
He knelt down and apologized, so He Chunhua didn't hold on to her.
She just looked down upon Wang Jinmei who could kneel down and apologize to someone for ten yuan.
This man is really shameless.
Onlookers also felt that Wang Jinmei was spineless. If it were anyone else, they would rather pay ten yuan than apologize.
Wang Jinmei was said to be shameless and left dejectedly.
He Chunhua quietly gave Zhou Ran a thumbs up, "Nan Ran, you are really awesome."
If Zhou Ran hadn't interfered with what happened just now, even if Wang Jinmei knelt down and apologized to her, there would probably be someone behind her saying that she had gone too far.
But once Zhou Ran took action, the result was different.
Not only did no one talk about her, but they also ridiculed Wang Jinmei even more.
After taking a breath, the Zhou family prepared to go home.
Zhou Shuhua and He Chunhua both felt that it was a great joy for both Zhou Ran and Shen Zhi'an to pass the exam, and the family should celebrate it well.
Zhou Ran even made a decision to treat the investigators and people from the education department who came this time to dinner.
Zhou Ran talked to his family, and they were naturally supportive.
There were six investigators and people from the education department who came this time.
There were not many people, it was just a meal, and their family could still afford it.
Zhou Ran invited a few people and said, "Several comrades have worked hard to come all the way here. It's almost noon. Why don't you come to my house for a quick meal?"
Zhou Shusheng followed behind and echoed the invitation.
These are all comrades who work in the county government departments. In the future, Zhou Ran and Shen Zhian will work as teachers in the production team's primary school, so it will be a good idea to build good relationships with them.
Several people declined at first.
At this time, the cadres' style was relatively clean and they felt that they should not take a needle or a thread from the masses.
Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the Zhou family, they finally agreed to go over for dinner.
As soon as Zhou Ran came home, he became very busy.
I just have some wild boar meat left at home, so I can make a meat dish.
If there were no meat dishes at home, He Chunhuajin would just kill a chicken.
Because there were many people eating, Zhou Ran prepared more dishes.
A bowl of spicy stir-fried pork, a bowl of pork stewed vermicelli, and a bowl of steamed salted fish, all three meat dishes are quite generous.
Fried fungus and eggs are considered a semi-vegetarian dish.
I stir-fried a few plates of seasonal vegetables and then added a plate of peanuts.
This kind of food standard is considered decent even in the city, let alone in the countryside.
It was a pity that there was no wine at home, but Zhou Shusheng was very generous and directly brought over the wine brewed at home to help entertain the guests.
The staff who came to eat obviously did not expect to have such a sumptuous meal.
Not only is the food good, it also tastes great.
Everyone was very satisfied with this meal.
Those who eat are soft-mouthed and those who take advantage of others are short-handed.
They were treated to such a delicious meal, and several staff members were very happy to say that if Zhou Ran needed any help, he could go to the county to see them.
Although Zhou Ran doesn't need anyone's help at the moment, it doesn't mean he won't in the future.
Since there is an opportunity to make this kind of relationship, no one would be stupid enough to refuse.
Compared with the lively and joyful atmosphere here at the Zhou family, the place at the Educated Youth Point is much duller.
It was sad enough that no one got a spot. I even apologized to Zhou Ran and Shen Zhian and looked at these two people.
Wang Huihui said unconvinced, "There must be something fishy going on here. Could it be that the county government is protecting them?"
Anyway, Wang Huihui didn't believe that Zhou Ran could be so capable, so smart in studies, and do so much better than her in exams.
Many educated youth think so too.
But I can't produce any evidence.
They have already suffered a loss this time, and they can't report it to the county staff anymore.
If not, and offends those influential people in the county, it will be more than just an apology.
"Wang Zhiqing, you should be very careful with your words and actions.
Why couldn't Comrade Zhou Ran and Shen Zhiqing pass the exam on their own?
If you are biased against others, you can't throw dirt on them or blame them without any basis." Li Yanhong was a little unhappy with Wang Huihui and directly criticized her.
Wang Huihui's face heated up when she was told this.
