Chapter 93 - 92 The First Joke
Chapter 93: Chapter 92 The First Joke
People are always willing to believe only what they see and stubbornly think that what they see is the truth.
Facing the disbelief in the eyes of a few people opposite, Lin Nianhe shrugged her shoulders helplessly, leaning on Aunt Li’s shoulder like a child throwing a tantrum at home.
"Aunt Li, I’ve found that I’m really lucky, meeting only good people, and they’ve taught me real principles and skills."
The people opposite: "..."
They felt like they were being scolded, and there was evidence.
Aunt Li pursed her lips and smiled, pulling Lin Nianhe closer to her bosom as if preventing her from falling off a cart.
"Hmph!"
One of the aunties suddenly snorted coldly: "Just keep making things up; you know who really feels bad inside!"
Lin Nianhe: "Mhm, suffering with a resentful face is something one has to endure oneself."
"..."
Fortunately, Uncle Niu drove the cart quickly, finally arriving at the Ten Miles Team before a fight broke out.
The old man standing at the entrance of the village with his hands behind his back was particularly conspicuous, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
"Oh, what a coincidence today, to see Captain Li here!"
"Where has Captain Li been busy? Did he go to the police station or the commune?"
Lin Nianhe casually glanced at the aunties carrying verbal daggers, understanding that this was aftermath of their clash with the Nine-miles Team.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, finding an opportunity to interject: "Uncle Team Leader came to pick up Aunt Li."
Her tone was extraordinarily casual, as if such an event happened every day, and she was already used to it.
Lin Nianhe’s words stunned her opponents and confused her teammates successfully.
Li Dahe: "...?"
His wife was just buying fabric in the town, what was there to pick up?
Aunt Li: "...?"
Just for these two pieces of fabric, did she really need this old man to pick her up?
Luckily, both of them were dumbfounded for a moment, not quick enough to rebut Lin Nianhe’s words.
Lin Nianhe turned her head to look at the dumbfounded aunties from the Nine-miles Team, her eyes slowly widening: "Aunties, why so surprised... doesn’t your family’s men help with work? Couldn’t be right? Can’t really have such men, right?"
"Though it’s said that women can hold up half the sky, husbands and wives should care for and support each other. They shouldn’t be pushing all household chores on you, right?"
"You shouldn’t be working during the day and taking care of your family’s food and clothes at night, handling all the heavy and tiring tasks without any help, right? Even the commune’s oxen don’t work like that."
While the group of aunties desperately wished to tear apart Lin Nianhe, Uncle Niu inappropriately nodded: "Mmm, oxen need to rest at night."
If it weren’t an inappropriate moment, Lin Nianhe really wanted to applaud Uncle Niu.
She unilaterally declared that the position of Aunt Li’s first comedic partner should be given to Uncle Niu.
Li Dahe, still clueless about what was happening, finally caught on—was this because of the fight they had at the Nine-miles Team last time, and these people, taking advantage of their numbers, bullied his wife?
Li Dahe certainly couldn’t physically fight the old ladies; he simply took a step forward, feigning seriousness as he glared at Lin Nianhe: "Don’t talk nonsense; your aunt must be embarrassed."
Saying so, he picked up the fabric package in Aunt Li’s hands and walked back with his hands behind his back, acting as if it was natural and habitual for him.
Indeed, Aunt Li was embarrassed, her face flushed.
With so many people watching... it seemed she couldn’t even carry a package without her husband.
Lin Nianhe timely linked arms with Aunt Li, said goodbye to Uncle Niu, and with a look of sympathy to the furious aunties, she flicked her braids, held up her chin, and walked into the village with Aunt Li.
As for whether some families in the Nine-miles Team would fight tonight, that was no longer her concern.
"Li Dahe, that good-for-nothing fellow, always hovering around his wife, what good can come from him?"
"That little educated youth with her dead attitude, if she were in our team, we would make her obedient!"
"Not really, just slapped her with two big smacks."
Uncle Niu: "Shall I take you guys back so you can teach her a lesson?"
Everyone: "..."
Them, go to Ten Miles Team to fight?
Those old ladies would shred them into julienne potatoes.
They glared at Uncle Niu, wanting to cuss him out, but afraid he’d drive the car into the ditch.
...
Li Dahe walked for a while and then stopped.
He felt a bit uneasy and clenched the cloth bag in his hand, asking the two of them, "Did those old ladies cause trouble?"
"Yeah," Lin Nianhe nodded seriously, "They were stirring up trouble."
Aunt Li looked up at the sky, pointedly not looking at Li Dahe’s face or the cloth bag in his hand: "Exchanged a few harsh words, didn’t get any advantage, it’s no big deal."
Hearing that it was just a verbal skirmish, Li Dahe was relieved.
His wife, together with Lin Nianhe, if it’s just about talking, no one can beat them, and his wife doesn’t even need to speak.
He mumbled a word of comfort: "Those people are holding a grudge, just ignore them."
Aunt Li naturally knew this, didn’t elaborate further, just asked him, "Why are you here?"
Everyone knows their own old man, he certainly wasn’t here to pick her up.
Sure enough, Li Dahe didn’t disappoint her at all, looking at Lin Nianhe he said: "Well, Miss Lin, on behalf of all the comrades in the team, thank you. Also, if you go to town tomorrow, could you please also thank Comrade Su for us, ask him to come over to the team when he’s free, we’ll invite him to dinner at our house."
Li Dahe had already inquired today, the leader of the engineering team used to be a subordinate of Su Yuncheng. It was Su Yuncheng who specifically asked them to help, and since they had no other matters at hand, they came right over.
Lin Nianhe: "...?"
One second ago, she was watching the daily life of this old couple, the next second, she couldn’t understand the plot?
She blankly said: "Thank me is fine, but why thank him?"
Seeing Lin Nianhe genuinely didn’t know anything, Li Dahe unconsciously raised his voice: "Don’t you know that Comrade Su asked the commune’s engineering team to help us build the school?"
"Uh... I didn’t know."
Lin Nianhe was bewildered.
Su Yuncheng got people to help them build the school?
She hadn’t heard him mention this before!
Li Dahe was dumbfounded: "I thought it was you who told him."
Lin Nianhe quickly disassociated herself: "How could I be the one to decide on building the school? It has nothing to do with me, absolutely nothing!"
When she made donations before, she specifically asked Principal Wu to keep it a secret because she wanted to keep a low profile.
After all, in this era, having money is not a good thing.
Li Dahe paused for a moment, slightly uncertain: "Then why did Comrade Su think of taking care of this matter?"
Lin Nianhe: "Maybe... for the sake of letting the country’s future generations study close to home sooner?"
Li Dahe clicked his tongue, feeling something was off, but he couldn’t think of any other reason.
He grunted, still saying, "You still have to help me convey our gratitude, remember, when the matter is handled."
Lin Nianhe nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay... then can I go to your house for dinner?"
Li Dahe gave her a sidelong glance: "It’s none of your business, what are you going to eat?"
"Huh?"
"What huh? You said it yourself, it was for the kids’ schooling, it has nothing to do with you, what meal are you trying to mooch?"
