The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 238 - 234: 250 Is Fine

The commune leader was furious, "You’re a leader of some status, why do you keep threatening to jump into the river?

Can’t you handle things properly?"

The team leader: "...?"

Alright.

I thought this was about handling things, turns out I was overthinking.

Well, let’s not talk about it.

"I’m being bullied!" The team leader was filled with righteous indignation, "Forget it, I’m going to jump into the river!"

He turned and walked away swiftly.

Leader: "???"

Wen Ran’s eyes twinkled, and she immediately started playing along, "Oh no, the team leader is going to jump into the river!"

Honestly, she could distinguish the urgency and importance of matters.

Moreover, seeing the leader’s kind demeanor towards them, causing a scene wasn’t a big deal.

At worst...

Have the team leader get scolded later~

In exchange for a flock of chickens, it was well worth it.

Thus, a grand drama was about to commence.

Starring Bi Jianguo, with Wen Ran as the supporting actress, Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao as the main representatives of the group.

Of course, only a few people who were in the know understood what was really happening; the others truly thought the team leader was desperate.

They couldn’t understand why, when life was going so well, someone would just decide to jump into the river.

Immediately, one by one, they heroically rushed over.

They swore to save the team leader.

After all, though the team leader was a bit chatty, he really did get things done.

If you had a problem, just tell him, and if he could solve it, he would solve it for you.

If it couldn’t be solved directly, he would indirectly advise you through a third person, while pretending not to notice.

Simply put, he truly did practical work and genuinely had the people’s support.

Naturally, this also brought a lot of pressure to the team leader.

For goodness’ sake, he was getting old, and wasn’t very nimble.

The young ones chased him like wolves.

The team leader was under a lot of pressure.

Before he even reached the creek, the young lads of the team crowded him and pushed him down.

By the time Wen Ran arrived, she heard the team leader wailing, "Which little rascal did this, my pants! My pants!"

"Uncle Bi, why jump into the river! Life is good now!"

"Exactly, exactly, spring sowing is halfway done, why end it all?"

"Right, the Xiao’s daughter-in-law is so capable, she caught six child traffickers and rescued a bunch of kids, that’s a huge achievement!

This year, we’re definitely part of the advanced team."

"Yes, yes..."

As everyone tried to comfort him with their chatter, the team leader’s mind was nearly blown.

When the commune leader also arrived gasping, he found the team leader pinned to the ground by everyone, unable to stand up.

It was both maddening and amusing.

But, truth be told, he deserved it!

"Enough!"

The commune leader spoke up, "Everyone, disperse! He wasn’t going to jump into the river, he was just putting on a show for me!"

Everyone: "?"

What was this? A show?

The team leader also shouted, "Didn’t you hear? Let go of me, my damn pants are falling!"

Scolding the crowd away, when everyone saw that the team leader truly had no intention of harming himself, they left laughing merrily.

Sigh!

Getting scolded a bit was no big deal, as long as the team leader didn’t despair.

After the commotion, the team leader was exhausted, panting heavily.

The commune leader shook his head, "I’m really afraid of you, fine, I’ll approve it. Two hundred chickens, is that enough?"

The team leader opened his mouth, "Three hundred!"

The commune leader: "...then go ahead and jump."

The team leader: "..."

He glared with dead fish eyes.

Tsk, that’s just not sporting.

Seeing the commune leader about to leave, the team leader jumped up and cheerfully followed, "Hey, don’t get mad, let’s talk it over. If three hundred is too much, we can negotiate!"

"You don’t seem sincere, I’m not going to argue with you."

"Hey~ Let’s talk about it some more!" The team leader chased after the commune leader, "How about two hundred and eighty?!"

He looked pained, "I’ve already lowered it!"

The commune leader was unmoved.

Subsequently, in the back and forth between the team leader and the commune leader, the number of chickens was haggled down from three hundred to two hundred and fifty.

The team leader really didn’t want to concede anymore, and the commune leader felt it was about right.

He immediately agreed, "Fine, two hundred and fifty it is."

The team leader’s eyes twinkled, "Hehehe, two-fifty sounds awful, let’s add a couple more!"

He held up a finger, waving it in front of the commune leader, "How about two hundred and fifty-one?"

The commune leader glanced sideways at the team leader, "Why not two hundred and forty-nine?"

The team leader: "..."

He remained expressionless, "Ah, we’re not sticklers for details here, two hundred and fifty it is."

Whether it sounded good wasn’t important at all.

The important thing was that there could only be more chickens, not less!

The paperwork was approved, and the team leader sent off the commune leader, the public security officers, and those kids, all happily.

The kids were a bit reluctant to leave.

Wen Ran waved her hand, having done this kind of thing many times, she didn’t feel much anymore.

Of course, the team leader was secretly delighted.

Looking at the freshly signed approval, his grin nearly reached his ears.

With these things, the sooner, the better, he decided to go to the livestock station first thing in the morning to bring back the chicks.

Yes.

For raising a few chickens at home, the livestock station wasn’t needed.

But for two hundred and fifty chicks, there was no other place to get them from so quickly.

"Come with me."

Wen Ran: "..."

She looked at the team leader, about to speak seriously.

The team leader waved his hand, "Enough, enough, don’t talk nonsense with me, isn’t it just about not working for free? I know!

If you come with me on this trip, I’ll give you ten work points!"

Wen Ran laughed, "Uncle, you’re being really generous now."

"Uncle’s not generous, Uncle is just clear about reward and punishment," the team leader chuckled, "If it weren’t for you, who would I have asked for these chickens?"

Beggars can’t be choosers, the commune leader’s big eyelids could fan him to death.

He wouldn’t have been allowed to haggle back and forth for half an hour!

"Well done!"

Mrs. Xiao chimed in, "It must be this way!"

"By the way, the honor you brought to the team, Uncle remembers and sees it clearly, and I’ll make sure it’s recognized!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

With a wave of his big hand, "Two hundred work points will be credited to you later! Also, once we raise the chickens, I’ll give you five at the end of the year.

I don’t know how others celebrate the new year, but you!"

He pointed at Wen Ran, his eyes glistening with tears, "Little girl, Uncle tells you with his hand on his chest, you’re going to have a great new year!

Eat well, drink well! Have a smooth new year!"

Wen Ran smiled, "Thank you, Uncle!"

No thanks.

He should be thanking Wen Ran on behalf of those families.

A child, a family.

The families Wen Ran saved were not just ten or eight.

The team leader turned away, even thinking, perhaps this child was a little celestial boy sent by The Bodhisattva Guanyin.

Came down to do good deeds...
