Chapter 101 The Bravery of Everyman(1/2)

Chapter 101 The Courage of a Common Man

"Impossible," the young man named Zhou shook his head repeatedly, unwilling to admit that he had made a mistake in his calculations.

Then, he picked up the pen and paper again to calculate.

Finally, he patted his head: "I...I just forgot to divide the triangle by two."

There is a sharp point on the corner of Wang Qiusheng's house, which is exactly the shape of a triangle.

The area of ​​a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base by height and dividing it by two. This is a problem that all primary school students in later generations will know. However, many farmers in this era did not know a single Chinese character and did not know how to calculate it at all, so they took whatever the working group said.

"Let him go, let him go, now the misunderstanding is resolved." Wang Mandun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the villagers to untie Wang Qiusheng.

"You guys, you made a mistake and made our village suffer." After Wang Yanqiang came to inquire, he was also very angry.

If Wang Manyin hadn't stopped him in time and Wang Qiusheng had been taken away, there would have been no good results.

Naturally, several staff members did not dare to stop him, they just turned around and left.

"Stop!" Seeing them leaving without saying a word, Wang Manyin's anger completely burned.

Let's talk about this matter on our own.

"Tomorrow our supply and marketing society will send people to Guigun Village to do accounting. You must be prepared."

However, Wang Qingming was right about one thing... He and General Han Shizhong were both from the original West. There are many legendary stories about Han Shizhong circulating in the original West County, and he was a real hero in people's hearts.

"Wang Manyin, I've let you go, what else do you want to do?" Director Zhao scolded loudly.

"Don't worry, nothing can happen. Let's take care of it..." Wang Manyin comforted with a smile.

A land of water and soil supports a person. In this land of the Loess Plateau, people have always admired heroes, and there has never been a shortage of heroes.

I cooked a plate full of fried eggs, a large bowl of pickled vegetables, a few white flour pancakes, and the porridge was mixed noodles... It was a simple dinner that belonged to Wang Manyin's family.

"Okay," Wang Manyin and Lanhua could only nod.

Then, he asked curiously: "Why, did you really find out the situation?"

"Man Yin, don't be stupid..."

When she heard the news, she didn't dare to delay for half a minute and hurried home.

***

In the evening, not long after Wang Manyin and Lanhua put down their bowls, they heard Liu Qing standing next to the court and shouting.

He is a truly talented person. He once forced Jin Wushu and Huang Tiandang to flee, and he was even called one of the "Four Generals of ZTE".

Wang Qiusheng and his wife are both poor people with words. They don't say any words of gratitude and just keep urging them to eat and eat.

"Well, not only our consignment point here in Shigejie, but also other places have problems. They secretly add water to bulk wine, soy sauce, and kerosene..."

When the spring harvest fails, everyone is short of food, not to mention that Wang Qiusheng belongs to the village's overspending household. He has heard from Shitou and others that the family's food supply is about to run out, and they are waiting for new wheat noodles.

"No, you can also find out this?" Wang Manyin felt that he had underestimated some people. He originally thought that he was just short of something, but he didn't expect that he had even learned how to fake it.

"Okay, okay, it's just a misunderstanding. I've asked people to prepare food in the village. Let's go back and eat quickly." Wang Mandun hurriedly came over to interrupt, for fear of causing more trouble.

Wang Manyin was a little surprised. This number is now huge.

In this case, the three aunts in Wang Qiusheng's family can only drink some noodle soup.

The reason why Wang Manyin is so kind to the three children of Wang Qiusheng's family is not only because of sympathy, but also a kind of repayment of kindness.

Wang Manyin was not so particular and asked Lanhua to drag Xie Dongmei and the three children to the table.

"Brother Man Yin, don't be busy. I've finished dinner... just say a few words and then leave." Liu Qingli took the boiling water and said somewhat eagerly.

I have always been very calm, and I didn't know what was going on just now. When my mind got hot, I rushed forward regardless.

Wang Manyin was ashamed after hearing this. How dare he compare with Han Shizhong.

He thought he heard wrongly, but when he got out the door, he realized that it was really the other person.

If they were a little jealous of Wang Manyin's sales agency before, now they are more impressed.

"Man Yin, you must go to my house for dinner today, otherwise you will look down on me..." Wang Qiusheng said with tears in his eyes.

"It's not easy to check. The sales agents receive a certain amount of goods from the supply and marketing cooperative every month. If you compare the accounts and inventory, you can see any problems at a glance. Besides, the loose wine doesn't taste right...I heard

He said that an employee of a supply and marketing cooperative elsewhere used this method to secretly share more than fifty yuan."

But today, I am so angry!

In order to let the guests eat well, most people do this. So when the guests eat, they usually eat half and leave half.

If a guest eats all the food, the child will cry for days.

"Qingli, why are you here? I'll ask Lanhua to cook right away." Wang Manyin hurriedly welcomed him to the cave and sat down.

Wang Manyin spat.

There was not a lot of bits and pieces of money, but it was very troublesome to calculate. After almost an hour of work, I finally cleared the accounts separately.

From the memory he received, one year the Dongla River flooded, and his predecessor, who was just eight or nine years old, followed others in fishing for firewood from the river, and was washed into the water.

"What are you doing? Put him down quickly!!"

During the meal, Wang Qiusheng stayed with him. His mother-in-law Xie Dongmei took several children and hid in another cave dwelling early to stay with her blind mother-in-law.

"Man Yin, good job." Wang Yanqiang patted Wang Manyin's shoulder with admiration.

But he knew very well that this was the best thing that Wang Qiusheng's family could come up with to entertain their guests.

Of course he was very angry about what happened today, but as the leader of Jar Village, he had to consider more.

Not only Wang Yanqiang, but also other villagers at the scene looked at him differently.

"Come on, tell me what I want to do. I've been in the village for so long, and everyone is eating and drinking and serving you. When things get tough, my elbows turn out, what the hell!"

Although his predecessor was a second-rate son, he has always kept this kindness in his heart. Since Wang Manyin has inherited all this, he naturally has to express it.

At this time, how could I possibly have another bite?

"I'm not being careful. What if I make a mistake in my calculations?"

Lanhua wanted to make a new pair of cloth shoes for her man, and she happened to be borrowing shoe samples from the village.

"Apologise?!" Wang Manyin stared at the other party. He was 1.8 meters tall, with a strong back and a strong waist, so he naturally had an imposing manner.

After Zhao Jianhai came to the village, Wang Mandun had been arranging for the better-off families in the village to take turns cooking. As a result, when the other party encountered serious business, he did not turn to the villagers at all.

There was such a big mistake today, how could they be so embarrassed? The leader said that there was still something to do, and left in a hurry with a few people.

"Apologise?! You tied someone up in a fool's errand and didn't even say a word of apology. Damn it, are you bullying an honest person?" Wang Manyin directly grabbed the collar of the young man named Zhou's clothes and reached out to lift it up.

On the other hand, I can only be considered as brave as an ordinary man.

"That's okay, we've already eaten," Xie Dongmei kept explaining, looking very embarrassed.

Or maybe the memory of the previous life is causing trouble.

Yes, Wang Manyin also became a little nervous after hearing what Lanhua said.

What Wang Manyin didn't expect was that the fact that he stood up for others would cause a great response in the village. When he entered the construction site in the afternoon, he was constantly praised.

Maybe I have been silent for too long, and I want to vent my heart.

The remaining people were startled and stepped forward to stop him.

He said speechlessly: "We haven't done anything, why are you fussing around?"

Lianzizui Wang Qingming is more like the self-media of later generations. He likes to stand on the hot spots to catch hot topics and create new jokes in a timely manner——

In the past, these people would have definitely had a meal at the Jar Village.

"Don't worry, Qingli, my family's accounts are very clear." Wang Manyin assured again. He has nothing to worry about and is not afraid of anyone coming to check. Even if he usually eats peach cakes, he will get money and receipts to make up for it in time.

It was Wang Qiusheng's father who jumped down and fished out his predecessor, regardless of the danger to his life.

"Brother Qiusheng, we are neighbors, so we should help you. Just don't worry about it." Wang Manyin quickly refused.

Liu Qingli said a few words and left in a hurry.

The last time he heard Guo Chaowang say something, he didn't take it seriously at all.

He got the information relatively late. If Wang Manyin hadn't come forward, he would have stopped those people.

When Wang Manyin came back from sending people off, he found Lanhua flipping through the ledger under the kerosene lamp.

"Man Yin, I heard everything just now. Are you okay?" She held the man's hand with a worried look on her face.

"You...you...are too arrogant," Zhao Jianhai turned to look at Wang Mandun and found that the other party was pretending not to hear.

"Sister-in-law Dongmei, we are all neighbors, don't be so particular." Wang Manyin said, picking up the plate and pouring some scrambled eggs into each of the three little guys' bowls.

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake," the young man named Zhou said with a red face.

The two simply gathered together under the oil lamp and calculated the accounts separately.

The three children drooled, but they didn't eat. Instead, they turned to look at their father.

"Man Yin, Lan Hua, don't cook for lunch today. You all go to my house to eat."
