After several days of careful instruction from Fang Zhuoyue, Li Mingcheng finally learned to drive a tractor.
As he was going back to the countryside to buy corn tomorrow, Lin Mai asked Li Mingcheng to drive the tractor, and she followed.
If he gets scared on the road, she can replace him.
Some people learn to drive well, but then get confused on the road. This is called road phobia.
The two of them set out at six in the morning.
There were few pedestrians and few vehicles on the road in the morning, so Li Mingcheng drove very smoothly.
But just after leaving Jiangcheng, there was a woman holding a child beside the highway, waving at them constantly.
The woman begged loudly: "My child is sick, please take us to the hospital, and I will kowtow to you!"
When Li Mingcheng saw this, he wanted to stop the tractor and let the woman get up.
Lin Mai ordered with a condensed face: "Drive forward, speed up!"
Li Mingchengqi Ai Ai said: "But that woman..."
Lin Mai said angrily: "If I tell you to speed up, speed up. If you don't speed up, go down!"
Li Mingcheng had no choice but to step on the accelerator and rush forward.
But he couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned around and looked back. He couldn't see that it didn't matter, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The driver of a small truck probably felt the same compassion as he did, so he stopped the truck to help the woman.
But he didn't expect that as soon as his car stopped, seven or eight men rushed out from the side of the road and surrounded his car. It didn't take much guessing to know that he was being robbed.
Li Mingcheng was still worried about Lin Mai: "How did you see that there was something wrong with that woman?"
Lin Mai gave him a blank look: "I don't have sharp eyes, how can I tell?
All I know is that when you go out, you can’t just help others.”
In her heart, she was completely disappointed with Li Mingcheng.
This guy can be a good and law-abiding employee, but he cannot be a leader. He has too much kindness and is too easy to be fooled.
When they arrived in the countryside, Lin Mai taught Li Mingcheng step by step how to harvest corn. It was not difficult for him to learn this and he did it well.
After harvesting the corn, the two returned to the provincial capital. Li Mingcheng's tractor was still driving very steadily as when it came. Lin Mai was very satisfied.
As soon as the two returned to the store, before they could even take a breath, Zhou Caiyun excitedly told them that the snack bar next door to Aunt Hu's house could no longer be opened, and a notice for leasing was posted at the door.
Lin Mai took her bowl of iced mung bean soup and ran out openly to take a look.
As expected, a notice for rent was posted on the door of Aunt Hu's snack bar.
When Aunt Hu saw Lin Mai's gloating expression, she wanted to curse him.
Her daughter-in-law's face fell, and she scolded her before she could: "You are an old man, please calm down!
You just made your son and I pay such a large sum of money to those people for hepatitis, do you still want to torment us?
Do you have to make this family miserable before you are satisfied?"
Aunt Hu didn't speak at all and stared at Lin Mai bitterly.
Lin Mai gave her a disdainful eye roll in return.
Wang Rong is having a very hard time these days.
She thought that her parents were the only ones who had been harmed by Fang Zhuoran and were not qualified as cadres. Unexpectedly, she was also transferred out of the office, doing the work of checking electricity meters and collecting bills.
Although the salary of this job is more than double that of workers in ordinary state-owned enterprises.
But in the power system, it is the lowest, and the work is still hard.
Ever since she was transferred to a position with low wages and hard work, Wang Rong has become the object of ridicule.
She could bear it when others laughed at her, but the ridicule from her little sisters made her particularly uncomfortable.
Fortunately, every time she went shopping in the past, she always bought drinks and snacks for them to eat and drink, and even treated them to big meals from time to time.
Now that she is in trouble, they are adding insult to injury.
Just when she was about to get off work just now, Liqin's friends, who used to flatter her the most, mocked her for being shameless, insisting on bragging that they were a couple even though they were not a couple.
This caused Yaya to humiliate her for a while, saying that she was originally a pheasant and had to pretend to be a phoenix, but now her true identity was revealed.
Wang Rong didn't dare to quarrel with Yaya, so she started a big quarrel with several of Li Qin's former best friends.
Said they were ungrateful, they ate her food, drank her food, and then added insult to injury.
Liqin and others fought back, accusing her of never treating them as best friends.
She always has a charitable face towards them, and treats them as green leaves to set off her.
Wang Rong couldn't argue with more than a few words, so she burst into tears, which only caused everyone to laugh even more crazily.
After finally getting off work, Wang Rong picked up her cowhide bag and left.
But she found out that the cowhide bag she bought for fifty or sixty yuan had been scratched by someone, and she was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
Wang Rong walked forward with a livid face. Several young men from the same factory pushed their bicycles around her, trying to please her in every possible way and wanted to send her home.
Fortunately, I am beautiful, and fortunately I still have these suitors who will never leave me.
Wang Rong felt much better.
But she looked down on these suitors, she just wanted to marry Fang Zhuoran.
These men who come from ordinary families or small cadre families are not worthy of her beautiful appearance.
Although her eldest cousin now hates her when he sees her, it is because he has been fascinated by Lin Mai's vixen.
When grandma takes action and pairs her up with her eldest cousin, the cousin will be devoted to her.
His people, his money, his properties, and his gold bars all belong to her.
By then, she will eat well, drink hot food, wear the best clothes and the heaviest gold jewelry, and live a life like a master. Who dares to laugh at her? She is the only one who humiliates and laughs at others!
Wang Rong was about to reject these admirers coldly, but her eyes fell on Du Guanghui.
Du Guanghui's parents worked as junior cadres in another state-owned enterprise, and his conditions were the best among the suitors.
But Wang Rong doesn't like it either.
But she wanted to use him against Liqin, Yaya and the others.
Although Du Guanghui's family background is not very good, he knows many gangsters and is a dominant figure among the young people in the factory. Both men and women are afraid of him.
He is never merciless when dealing with people, and he never leaves any evidence behind.
If anyone offended him, he would put a sack on someone outside the factory and then run away after beating them.
The victim knew it was him, but couldn't produce any evidence, so he could only knock off the teeth and swallow blood.
There was once someone who was determined to report him to the police station, but the police were unable to do anything against him because they had no evidence.
However, after that incident, rumors spread that Du Guanghui's uncle was a high-ranking official, so he got into trouble everywhere but remained unharmed.
The young men and women in the factory were even more afraid of him, and no one dared to provoke him.
The guy who sued him earned an even more brutal revenge from Du Guanghui. Not only did he have one of his legs broken, but he was also forced to leave the power department.
Wang Rong shyly said to Du Guanghui: "Send me home."
Du Guanghui has coveted Wang Rong's beauty for a long time, but he has never been favored by her. She will always be noble and cool in front of him.
Du Guanghui suddenly smiled at her today and asked her to take him home. Du Guanghui couldn't help but feel elated.
