Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 59 - 0. Causing Trouble? Counterattack

Of course, to prevent this shameless woman from ruining the long-awaited wedding, Lianshan and Shuzhen tried their best to make the wedding lively.

Just thinking that under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Yuanzhi, even if he had bad intentions, would have to consider his position as the head of the Liu family village production team. Otherwise, if he went too far, wouldn’t he just give those itching for his seat an opportunity?

To stand out among those distant relatives in the Dai family and rise through the ranks as Dai Weiguo’s brother-in-law, he relied not only on a thicker skin and a more pliable waist than others but had a bit of brains too.

Looking at the packed Lian family’s new house, the already unhappy Lin Yuanzhi almost turned his shoehorn-like face darker with anger.

After that chaotic incident, God knows that what he detests the most now are crowded places and smiling faces.

But as the head of the Liu family village production team, regardless of what people really think of him, they have to show a friendly or flattering face on the surface.

These expressions, which used to make Lin Yuanzhi overjoyed and confident, are now the ones he loathes the most.

Because no matter how sincere and humble the person in front smiles, he can’t help but think the real purpose behind that smile is to mock him.

After losing face so publicly, Lin Yuanzhi has become a bit nerve-wracked.

If he wasn’t thinking of using the pretext of attending the wedding to push for the repayment of old debts, he wouldn’t even have the idea of attending!

With this mindset, Lin Yuanzhi cooperated extremely with all the wedding processes.

He didn’t cause any trouble even after the banquet ended.

He cooperated so much that Lianshan and Shuzhen were both astonished: Wasn’t there a saying about how a leopard can’t change its spots? How come this lackey isn’t opposing us to the end, trying to please Dai Weiguo and Bai Jing at every chance?

What happened next made the young couple deeply understand the saying that a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, while a lackey travels a thousand miles to eat... Some natures are indeed hard to change.

A lackey might suppress his nature temporarily, but only because he has a bigger scheme.

Using a wedding day to press for debt repayment, just this reason alone was enough for Shuzhen to hate this guy to the bone!

Seeing Lian Sansan and her siblings, along with Liu Shouren and others, change their expressions, the always hot-tempered Liu Shouyi rolled up his sleeves, ready to go at it at the drop of a hat. Lin Yuanzhi, adhering to the principle of avoiding immediate losses, swallowed hard and softened his tone immediately: "Well, let’s talk this over peacefully, starting a fight is bad for unity!

Although bringing up this matter on your happy day might be a bit off-putting, I’m doing this for your own good.

Now the higher-ups are actively advocating for getting production up and embodying the Daizhai spirit of self-reliance and hard work.

Not only should we set new records in grain production, but we must also eliminate all old debts and outstanding accounts.

Whether a head goes out boldly or shrinks back timidly, you proactively repaying the debts you owe to the team could set a model example. It’s better than being exposed for splurging on a wedding while claiming you have no money to repay the team, isn’t it?

Hehe, even I, the team leader, wouldn’t be able to protect you then!"

Lin Yuanzhi chuckled evilly, seeing Liu Shouyi’s fist the size of a bowl, he quickly withdrew it: "Okay, I won’t force you on such a joyous day. Three... five days later, I’ll come again, by then you and your wife can let me know whether you choose to act passively or actively!"

Liu Shouyi’s handsome face darkened, he raised his fist, ready to greet Lin Yuanzhi in the face. Damn, dare to ruin his sister’s wedding, he’d give him a starry sky before talking about anything else.

Fortunately, Shuzhen reacted swiftly, pushing Lin Yuanzhi at the critical moment. Otherwise, her impulsive elder brother might have severely wounded him.

Being an ordinary villager beating the team leader, she was afraid that scoundrel might immediately label her brother as a reactionary element. Moreover, Shuzhen was keen on not allowing her long-awaited wedding to suffer more damage.

Besides, with Dai Honghua’s weaknesses in her grasp, she was not worried about how much of a fuss Lin Yuanzhi could create.

Adding disgust to her wedding and thinking he could make them obediently repay debts to clear his outstanding accounts?!

Hmph, truly ugly in reality, but daydreaming beautifully.

Shuzhen smirked: "Worry not, Team Leader, as a good villager with a heart loyal to socialism, my husband and I are determined to bite the bullet and fully repay the old debts, never adding any burden to the Party and the country. However, having just married we’re starting with a thin base, and there’s still famine in hand. The so-called extravagant wedding was nothing more than the dowry given by my brother and sister-in-law from my family and the strong arrangements by my husband’s younger brother and sister.

No matter how urgent we may be to repay the debts, it wouldn’t be right to squander the goodwill of our family members like that, right?

Otherwise, those who don’t know might think, to make achievements, the team leader forced us to sell off our household and dowry right after the wedding? Such a reputation smearing socialism, neither of us could bear, and you, Team Leader, probably can’t bear it either!"

Lin Yuanzhi stared wide-eyed, never expecting Shuzhen to flip the situation back onto him in the blink of an eye.

Previously, unable to deal with two against four, especially after being threatened by Shuzhen, Lin Yuanzhi was both guilty and infinitely regretful: If he had known it would be like this, he shouldn’t have saved face for this couple! Hosting some damn wedding, he should have gone straight for their house, furniture, and bicycle.

Three brand new houses, matching furniture, the village’s first bicycle – it’s already this ostentatious, and they still dare say they’re proletarian?

Of course, he didn’t voice this thought, but his gaze at the house and furniture conveyed that meaning.

Shuzhen sneered again, throwing another "big hat" on him: "Just three thatched houses, a set of elm furniture, and a bicycle, Team Leader making such a fuss, do you mean to suggest that good citizens of the socialist new society can’t afford houses, can’t use furniture, or aren’t worthy of riding bicycles? Under the guidance of our great leader, surpassing European powers is just a matter of time, comprehensive prosperity is within reach.

Not just thatched houses, we should one day live in brick houses and mansions.

Team Leader, getting jittery over these small things, do you lack confidence in our new socialist motherland?"
