Chapter 64 An Accident at the Assessment Site
Chapter 64 An Accident at the Assessment Site
Early the next morning, before daybreak, the threshing ground was already filled with waiting villagers.
Everyone was chatting in groups of three or four, all talking about the upcoming brick factory selection.
Aunt Hu pulled her son to the back of the crowd and kept reminding him, "Daniu, when the test comes, just do whatever you're told to do. You must be obedient, okay?"
"If you behave today, I'll make you some steamed eggs when I get home."
"Da, Da Niu, be good and eat eggs." Da Niu had an innocent expression and smiled foolishly. As he said this, he wanted to put his fingers into his hand, but Aunt Hu quickly pulled them down.
Suddenly, someone bumped into Aunt Hu from behind. Caught off guard, she staggered forward two steps before she could stand firm.
Da Niu quickly caught the person and shouted at the person who bumped into him: "You, what are you doing, bullying my mother? Da Niu knows how to hit people!"
As Daniu was about to swing his fist, Aunt Hu reacted quickly and stopped him.
"You, you idiot, what do you want to do?"
Da Niu was strong and ferocious, and looked quite imposing. Facing the threat, Wang Pozi couldn't help but take two steps back.
It’s all the third sister’s fault. She’s so slow even when washing dishes. If she had gone out earlier, would she have run into such bad luck?
Seeing that Da Niu was being held back by Aunt Hu, Mrs. Wang became more energetic again: "What are you doing? Do you want to hit someone again? Don't think that you can bully me just because you are not smart enough."
She said this with a scornful smile at Aunt Hu: "You know your son is a fool, but why don't you lock him up in the house? Why are you here? Do you have any crazy ideas and want this fool to become a worker?"
"You've gone too far! It was obviously you who hit someone. Our Da Niu would never hit anyone randomly." Aunt Hu argued with red eyes, while pulling the struggling Da Niu tightly.
Although this old lady Wang was really bullying, Da Niu couldn't do anything to her. If he did, the brick factory would definitely have no chance.
The attention of the other people in the threshing ground had long been attracted by the quarrel between the two. Seeing Wang Po bullying the orphan and the widow, they couldn't help but whisper.
When Zhang Wan saw Wang Po, she felt new and old hatreds surge in her heart. When she first came to the team, it was this old witch who humiliated her.
At that time, she felt that this Mrs. Wang was not a good person, not to mention that she was Wang Paner's biological mother.
Dragon and phoenix, dragon and phoenix give birth to phoenixes. It turns out that this kind of bad seed can't give birth to good things!
Zhang Wan rushed in front of the two people, ignoring the others' attempts to stop her. "How shameless of you! I'm such a pitiful person, and you still want to bully me!"
"Even if Hu Daniu can't become a worker, can your family do it? It's a joke."
As Zhang Wan spoke, she looked disdainfully at Wang Tingmei, who was cowering beside Mrs. Wang. "With her skinny, quail-like figure, she wants to be a worker? This old witch really hasn't woken up yet!"
Wang Tingmei felt the gazes from all around her, so she lowered her head even lower and moved her feet slightly, trying to hide backwards, but was pulled in front of her by Mrs. Wang.
She knew her own limitations and had never thought of becoming a worker, nor had she ever thought of participating in the selection. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang dragged her here.
"Who says our third child is no good? He is at least a member of our Wanyang Brigade. Unlike you educated youth, who came to our brigade halfway to take advantage of us."
"When you're working, you all act like spoiled girls, but when it's time to take advantage, you run away faster than anyone else. I didn't know that city people are so shameless."
"I think your faces are as thick as city walls." Mrs. Wang said while rolling her eyes.
Mrs. Wang was cursing in her heart, it was all Wang Pan'er's fault for being so stupid. She didn't come for such a good opportunity. Otherwise, she could have dragged the third brother over to try her luck!
The third sister is such a coward, she can't do anything even if you beat her with three sticks, it's just embarrassing for her!
It would be great if Wang Tingmei could be selected today. If not, she won’t be able to eat for the whole day. It’s really unlucky!
"You've gone too far..." Zhang Wan was speechless and could only repeat "It's too much" and "It's too bad".
Cao Yin was in a dilemma. This young lady was really a weakling. She couldn't even say a few harsh words, yet she loved to take the lead.
But she could keep silent about other things. If Wang Po's remarks about the educated youth taking advantage really aroused the support of other people, then the opportunity she had would be gone.
"Auntie Wang, what you said is not right. It was the team leader who said that we educated youth can also participate in the selection. Are you saying that the team leader's decision is wrong?"
"I, I didn't say that..." Mrs. Wang's voice became smaller.
"What are you arguing about? Do you still want to participate in the selection? If anyone has any objections to the team's decision, please speak out and let us all hear it!" Shen Yuancheng, along with the team members and An An, had just arrived at the threshing ground when he saw a group of people arguing. His face turned black.
Taking a closer look, it was Mrs. Wang again! She was simply the rotten apple in the team.
The people watching the excitement around them quickly scattered when they saw the captain coming.
After all, everyone's main purpose today is to assess the brick factory. If they offend the team leader just for watching the fun, it would be more trouble than gain.
As Zhang Wan walked, she glanced at the old witch with pride. She was a coward who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. It was really satisfying to see her like that.
She didn't know if it was because she had just been mad at the old witch, but she actually felt a twisting pain in her stomach. Because she was worried about the assessment, Zhang Wan endured it secretly and walked into the assessment team.
Shen Anan immediately saw Aunt Hu with red eyes. Seeing Shen Anan looking at her, Aunt Hu gave her a grateful look and nodded at her.
The assessment at the brick factory is actually very simple. Brick-making workers mainly need to be those with great strength and good physical stamina. The assessment content is chopping wood. Within the specified time, the more wood one chops, the better the result.
As for the sales position, Shen Anan asked in more detail. After all, the factory's salesmen would need to get orders from factories in the county and town themselves. If the factory became bigger, they might have to go to the province.
You have to find someone who is smart and flexible. After all, not everyone has a talent for sales.
Everyone lined up quietly and walked forward one by one to take the test.
Shen Anan was recording information in her notebook when she heard a sudden commotion in the crowd.
Zhang Wan felt as if a dagger was inserted into her stomach and twisted it. The piercing pain made her sweat quickly, and her vision became increasingly blurred. She shook her head, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground.
When Cao Yin saw Zhang Wan fall, she wanted to reach out to help her, but she was powerless. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and she could not bear it anymore and squatted on the spot.
When Shen Anan walked into the crowd, she saw the educated youth in the team falling down one by one. Some of them even foamed at the corners of their mouths soon after falling down.
