Chapter 18

Her voice almost scared the production team leader to death.

He was so anxious that he shouted loudly: “Stop, stop, stop shouting!”

If I tell you anything else, no one will believe me. But if I tell you this, everyone in the village will definitely believe me.

He has a criminal record.

Two years ago, he had a complicated relationship with a widow in the village and was severely beaten by his own wife.

If people heard this, he would never be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

He admitted that he did have some feelings for Lin Xiaoxi, but what he cared more about was how much good things Lin Xiaoxi could bring to him.

Lin Xiaoxi was so frightened that her face turned pale. This was no joke. Once it got out, her reputation would be ruined.

“Sister-in-law Ning Jia, please don’t say anything nonsense! I am innocent!”

“Whether you are innocent or not is not up to you to decide.”

“Here…” Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly took out another five yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into Ning Jia’s hand, “Sister-in-law, you’ve been busy cooking every day recently and it’s been very hard. This is a little gift from me…”

“I don’t want your money!” Ning Jia declined, “I just want justice.”

Lin Xiaoxi looked at the production team leader anxiously: “Team leader, what should we do?”

“What’s fair or unfair? How about this, you and Lin Xiaoxi compete with each other, whoever is better will take the position, how about that?” said the production team leader.

“Yeah.” Lin Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly. She thought she had read a lot of books and was more knowledgeable than a village peasant woman. “Then let’s do it! Sister-in-law, do you agree?”

Ning Jia shook his head: “I don’t agree.”

She could easily run for the accountant position in the whole village based on her real ability, so why would she use such a sneaky way to get the opportunity?

“Why don’t you agree? Tell us what other conditions you have!” the captain said impatiently.

“Announce on the loudspeaker in the village that we are recruiting accountants and let everyone compete. If you agree, I will pretend that what happened tonight never happened.” Ning Jia said.

The production team leader’s eyes flickered, as if he remembered something, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed: “Okay, let’s do as you say!”

“Then I’m fine. I’m leaving. You guys continue.”

Lin Xiaoxi didn’t dare to let Ning Jia go, and insisted on stuffing the five dollars into her hand: “Sister-in-law, hold on to this money!”

“Why would I take your money for no reason? I don’t want it!” Ning Jia shook off her hand.

“Sister-in-law, this is something I really want to give you! The food you cook is delicious and you take such good care of me! I am very grateful! This is a little gift from me, you must accept it!”

Ning Jia saw that the time was almost right, so he decided to take it: “Since you want to thank me so sincerely, it would be bad for me to refuse, right? Okay, then I will accept it with reluctance!”

“That’s great, sister-in-law! Thank you!” Lin Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

“Captain, do you have any other instructions? No?” Ning Jia said, his eyes fixed on his bulging chest.

The production team leader cursed inwardly and reluctantly took out a bag of White Rabbit candy from his pocket: “This is for you. Your husband has done a good job. This is my reward for him. Please take it back for me.”

Ning Jia immediately took it with a smile: “Captain, you have good taste! Thank you on behalf of my man! Then I’m leaving!”

“Go, go!” The production team leader waved his hands quickly, hoping to send this plague god away as soon as possible.

Lin Xiaoxi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard another voice coming from outside.

“I heard everything you said! Well, you three are plotting here secretly!”

As the voices were heard, An Ye also walked in.

She looked directly at Ning Jia: “You are so lazy. You left a lot of housework to me and sneaked out! If I hadn’t followed you for a long time, I wouldn’t have discovered that the three of you were plotting to work here!”

“What are we plotting? What did you hear?” Ning Jia straightened his chest and stared at An Ye with a fierce expression.

“I heard the team leader secretly arranged accounting jobs for you and Lin Zhiqing! I also heard them giving you money and things!” An Ye said confidently, “Why? How am I worse than you? Why don’t you give me anything?”

“We are talking about fair competition. The village loudspeaker will announce it, whoever is capable will come forward! Did you hear about this?” asked the production team leader.

“I didn’t hear it! Did you say it?” An Ye looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

When the production team leader heard this, his head became as big as two heads.

Good fellow! He heard everything he shouldn’t have heard, and didn’t hear anything he should have heard!

“You can hear whatever you want to hear. What does it have to do with me? Why are you yelling at me?” Ning Jia rolled his eyes at her, put the money and candy into his pocket in front of her, and was about to leave the mill.

“You are not allowed to leave!” An Ye grabbed Ning Jia, “You want to leave after getting the benefits? Why? I think I am no worse than you, why do you always suppress me? We can’t explain what happened today, no one is allowed to leave!”

Ning Jia pushed her and said, “Get out of the way! I don’t want to waste my time talking to you!”

An Ye: “If you have this attitude, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Ning Jia: “What? Are you going to swing your arms and slap us in the face?”

An Ye: “You reminded me!”

Ning Jia: “You dare! If you dare to do that, don’t blame me for being rude! Let’s just fight and see who can beat who!”

An Ye: “Go ahead and hit me. I’m not afraid of you!”

Seeing that Ning Jia and An Ye were about to fight, the team leader hurriedly stopped them.

The two daughters-in-law of the Li family are simply two living ancestors. They quarrel wherever they go and start fighting as soon as they disagree with something!

On the wedding day, the two of them had a huge fight over who should enter the house first. They tore each other’s hair and slapped each other, and the whole village knew about it.

If we do it today, won’t it cause a big commotion again?

It would be strange if the story between him and Lin Xiaoxi didn’t spread throughout the whole village.

I can’t afford to offend you. I really can’t afford to offend you!

“Stop arguing!” He was angry and resentful, but he could only take out another bag of candy from his arms and stuff it into An Ye’s pocket, “Take it, take it! You can also take a share of the accounting job!”

“That’s more like it!” An Ye grinned and turned his eyes to Lin Xiaoxi, “I see that you mean to get along well with Lao Liu’s wife after you get married, and do the right thing with me, right?”

Lin Xiaoxi’s heart ached and blood kept dripping. She gritted her teeth and took out the only five-dollar bill from her pocket and handed it over: “Sister-in-law, this is for you.”

“Okay, since it’s your intention, I have to accept it. I can’t let you down. After you get married, you’ll be my good sister-in-law!” An Ye took the money and the things, turned around and walked out.

Ning Jia left immediately after him: “I have to go and take a look. I can’t let him talk nonsense about what happened tonight!”

After the two walked away, they came to a deserted place and laughed so hard that they fell over, holding their stomachs.

“Jia Jia, you are really amazing! Did you see the expressions on those two people’s faces? I think they want to chew us up and swallow us into their stomachs!”

“Of course I saw it!” Ning Jia laughed, “So that’s how Lin Zhiqing got all those jobs. No wonder his work is easier than others and he gets just as many work points! This team leader is such a dog, he’s damaging other people’s interests and secretly supplying Lin Xiaoxi!”

“Who says it’s not?”

An Ye laughed enough, looked at the candy and money in his hand, and felt a little uneasy.

She scratched her head and asked Ning Jia, “Isn’t it a bit unethical for us to do this?”

Ning Jia snorted and laughed: “If I have no morals, then morality can’t hold me hostage!”

An Ye chuckled: “Jia Jia, you are so wicked! But I like you so much!”

“Hahaha!”

The two were laughing happily when they were suddenly pulled over by two hands that stretched out from the darkness.

Ning Jia was shocked: “Who!”
