Chapter 33: This isn’t delivering food, its delivering money, right?

During the autumn harvest, Tang Xiaoxiao tried her best to cook delicious meals for the three members of the Song family.

However, from that day on, Song Jingzhi cooked dinner, and she only guided him from the side.

This day at noon, Tang Xiaoxiao went to the field to deliver food, but Song Jingzhi was not with Song’s father and mother today, Song Jingzhi was with the educated youths today.

She first delivered Song’s father and mother’s food, and then went to find Song Jingzhi.

When she arrived, Liu Fengjuan, Liu Dong, He Xiaoqian and Xu Zeming were already eating.

Liu Fengjuan and He Xiaoqian had gone back to cook earlier, Cao Hui and Wang Erxi ate by themselves, and they could only bring dry food.

“Jingzhi gege, I cooked for the family, and I also brought you a portion, try it.” Tang Xiaoxiao saw Liu Xiaomei holding a lunch box and handing it to Song Jingzhi as she approached.

“Get lost.” He didn’t even look up.

The cold air around him made even the four people sitting and eating feel it.

“Jingzhi gege, I’m just concerned about you, look, it’s already this time, and that Tang Xiaoxiao hasn’t brought you food yet.” Liu Xiaomei saw that he didn’t take it, and looked aggrieved.

“Oh, this is rushing to deliver food to someone else’s fiancé.” Tang Xiaoxiao carried a basket of food and looked at the two with interest.

Song Jingzhi saw her coming, put down his sickle and ran towards her.

“Brother, you’re quite popular with the ladies.”

“No, she came on her own, I didn’t pay any attention to her.” Song Jingzhi was anxious to explain.

“I’ll deal with you later.” Tang Xiaoxiao handed him the basket of food and walked towards Liu Xiaomei.

“What are you doing?” Liu Xiaomei took a step back, she knew what Tang Xiaoxiao had done to Chen Fengya.

Liu Fengjuan and He Xiaoqian exchanged glances, and they both stood behind Tang Xiaoxiao.

The commotion here attracted the villagers nearby who were eating.

“What’s going on?”

“Tang Zhiqing, what’s wrong?”

“Uncle, aunt, brother, sister-in-law, I’ve been here for so long, and I still don’t know if there’s a custom in your village where a young lady delivers food to someone else’s fiancé.” Tang Xiaoxiao looked around at the villagers.

“Today I’ve finally seen it.” Finally, she fixed her gaze on Liu Xiaomei.

“There’s no such custom.”

“Tang Zhiqing, don’t talk nonsense, if this gets out, how will the girls in our village find husbands?”

“So there isn’t, then what’s going on with this girl?” She pointed at Liu Xiaomei.

“I saw her holding a lunch box as soon as I arrived, and she’s trying to stir up trouble between me and Song Jingzhi.”

“You can’t stir up trouble.” Song Jingzhi stood beside her, holding the food basket, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

“Liu Xiaomei, weren’t you working in the north today? How did you get here?” An aunt spoke up.

“What else could it be, she’s just trying to get close to Jingzhi.”

“You can’t bring a girl like this home to be your wife, she’s too shameless, Jingzhi is already engaged.”

“The marriage report for Xiaoxiao and me has been approved, your actions constitute interference with a military marriage.” Song Jingzhi spoke up at this point.

Actually, they hadn’t gotten their marriage license yet, so it wasn’t really interference with a military marriage, he was deliberately saying this.

“Interference with a military marriage? Doesn’t that mean you’ll be shot? Or go to jail?”

The women nearby started to gossip, some saw that the situation was not right and hurried to find the village chief.

Liu Xiaomei was a little scared when she heard what everyone was saying.

“I, I didn’t know I would go to jail.”

Soon the village chief arrived, followed by Liu Shuanggui.

Seeing her father, Liu Xiaomei ran over and grabbed her father, crying and saying, “Dad, I don’t want to go to jail.”

“What’s going on?” The village chief asked.

The villagers nearby talked about it, and it took the village chief a while to understand what was going on.

The village chief looked at Liu Shuanggui and his daughter, the two Liu brothers really seemed to be at odds with the Song family.

“Village chief, Tang Zhiqing is an educated youth from our educated youth point, we hope the village will give her an explanation, give our educated youth point an explanation.”

“We educated youths came to the village to build, why do people in your village repeatedly bully Tang Zhiqing, is it because her family is not here? Then the educated youths in our educated youth point are her family.”

Liu Dong stood up at this time, as the head of the educated youth point, he had to stop this.

“It’s just delivering food, what kind of explanation do you want?” Liu Shuanggui coaxed his daughter while saying.

“Then treat it as interference with a military marriage, take her to jail.” Xu Zeming glanced at him.

“Yes, take her to jail.” Liu Fengjuan chimed in.

Liu Dong and Liu Fengjuan had been in the village for several years, they were both good at work, and He Xiaoqian and Xu Zeming were both in good condition.

Several families in the village wanted to talk about marriage with them, this matter had to be settled by the educated youths.

Otherwise, if one came, there would be a second, how could they live in this village?

“Dad, I don’t want to go to jail.” Liu Xiaomei cried.

“Then why did you come to deliver food?” Liu Shuanggui didn’t expect that delivering food would become interference with a military marriage.

“Village chief, give us a word.” Xu Zeming looked at the village chief.

“This matter, Liu Shuanggui, you tell us. I’m Jingzhi’s uncle, it’s not appropriate for me to say anything. You come up with a solution yourself.”

Song Jian’guo looked at Liu Shuanggui, letting him speak for himself. If the educated youths agreed, they agreed, if they didn’t, he couldn’t do anything about it.

“What do you want?” Liu Shuanggui looked at the educated youths.

It was originally a matter between his family, Song Jingzhi and Tang Xiaoxiao, how did it become a matter between them and the educated youths?

Xu Zeming glanced at Song Jingzhi, who nodded slightly at him, and he began to discuss with Liu Dong in a low voice.

“Then, considering the Liu family’s average conditions, let’s say 100 yuan as compensation for Tang Zhiqing.”

Liu Shuanggui had three sons, all of whom had married and had grandchildren. If they asked for more, they wouldn’t have it.

But if the unmarried younger sister caused the family to pay money because of this, she would definitely make a fuss.

“100 yuan?”

The villagers began to discuss, how long would they have to work to earn 100 yuan?

This isn’t delivering food, it’s delivering money, right?

“Where would our family get so much money?” Liu Shuanggui retorted.

“If it’s not enough, use your family’s work points this year to offset it.” Xu Zeming had calculated it in his mind, the Liu family had not divided their property.

They definitely had 100 yuan, especially since there were nine adults in their family, including Liu Xiaomei, all of whom worked and had full work points.

A year’s worth of work points was more than 100 yuan, so Xu Zeming was sure they could come up with the 100 yuan.

It would also make Liu Xiaomei’s three sisters-in-law resent her, so that she wouldn’t dare to come and cause trouble for Tang Xiaoxiao in the future.

Xu Zeming’s words made Tang Xiaoxiao sigh, He Xiaoqian had found a good partner.

“200 yuan.” At this time, Song Jingzhi spoke up, “What Xu Zhiqing said was only compensation for Xiaoxiao, it didn’t include her harassment of me.”

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at the man beside her, okay, my partner is also good, they are all aiming to bankrupt others.

Song Jian’guo looked at his nephew, he wouldn’t speak unless he had something to say, and when he did, it was a blow.
