CHAPTER 128: 128. BE NICER TO MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW!

Since the higher-ups have already made a decision, Lin Yuanzhi, a small production team leader, doesn’t dare to openly oppose and hand others the handle of disobedience and insubordination.

However, from this incident, even a blind person could see the tension between the team leader and Accountant Liu.

Of course, with Liu Shouren’s previous shout that resonated throughout the village, Lin Yuanzhi was now absolutely isolated.

After all, regardless of the faction, they are all old farmers with families to feed. They have elderly parents and young children to care for.

If worm farming could indeed be popularized, wouldn’t every household be able to raise a few more chickens, ducks, and geese?

After raising chickens, ducks, and geese, selling eggs and meat could bring in money and tickets, which in turn could buy much-needed food, cloth, and other essentials.

Improving family conditions while supporting national development, where else could you find such a win-win situation?

They had previously been contemplating sending gifts through intermediaries, begging Lianshan and his wife. Now, they have shown great kindness, willing to lead everyone towards collective progress. This is practically like pie falling from the sky!

How could they stop this when they are all so eager to join in?

Isn’t that just foolish thinking?

To achieve the position of the production team leader at Liu’s Village, apart from having strong connections, one must also have a certain level of intelligence. So, the reason for stopping wasn’t foolishness; rather, it was driven by selfish motives?

Upon realizing this, the members’ gazes towards Lin Yuanzhi became rather peculiar.

Those elderly and senior relatives from the Dai family, who had grown hard-hearted during the election for the previous team leader and couldn’t overcome Lin Yuanzhi, were eager to make a point of this.

Under the guise of working for the country and the people, they criticized Lin Yuanzhi, turning him into a depressed, submissive person who could only nod in agreement.

In his frustration, Lin Yuanzhi deeply resented Liu Shouren and Lianshan and his wife, planting the idea of thoroughly ruining them to eliminate any threat to him, which rapidly grew into a towering tree.

But after beating up Lin Yuanzhi and digging such a big hole for him, Liu Shouren, realizing the feud was deep, had no intention of sitting and waiting for death.

He silently collected evidence of Lin Yuanzhi’s violations, intending to pull him down before he caused trouble, ensuring Lin Yuanzhi wouldn’t have the capability to threaten the safety and interests of the Liu family siblings.

After Lin Yuanzhi’s madness, Shuzhen no longer thought controlling Dai Honghua’s lifeline could indirectly hold Lin Yuanzhi, the team leader, in hand. It wasn’t that she lacked leverage, but that Lin Yuanzhi, the fool, simply didn’t play by the rules!

Since her elder brother aimed to dismantle the time bomb hanging over their heads, how could a sister not fully cooperate?

Even better, she hoped her brother could advance further and become the team leader!

By then, with a brother who had a sister complex in charge, she would have more room to showcase her ’talents’ and engage in small yet genuinely beneficial activities for the country and the people. When everyone’s living standards improve outwardly, there would no longer be such stark contrasts between the rich and poor, right?

For a simple yet fulfilling life for her and her children, Shuzhen put in all her efforts.

Of course, on the surface, it seemed she was pulling strings to assist her elder brother while also upholding the glorious banner of making the small worms a colorful narrative benefiting numerous suffering poor farmers.

What others thought wasn’t clear, but Liu Shouren felt deeply touched, believing that the years of affection hadn’t been in vain. After all, blood is thicker than water, and his biological sister was truly considerate of her brother. This good mood and high tolerance rendered even his brother-in-law’s jealous dagger-like glances harmless.

To successfully and completely accomplish this task, Shuzhen practically rekindled her school spirit from childhood, rising early each day. After a quick wash and a hurried breakfast, she began receiving neighbors seeking help with building worm beds, answering their questions and often visiting in person. Despite it being a task manageable by anyone in the family, the villagers preferred the assurance of Shuzhen, the proponent of worm farming, insisting on her personal inspection to avoid futile efforts.

Lianshan, unwilling to let his wife, barely postpartum, be so busy, considered using her recovery and the baby’s young age as reasons to refuse on her behalf.

But the villagers weren’t accepting him as a substitute for his experienced wife, nor was Shuzhen herself amenable: "It’s through participating in worm bed construction and feed mix proportions that we gain precise firsthand information. Currently, with Grain Rain approaching, it’s the perfect time to build worm beds. As these beds are constructed, the little chicks and ducklings hatch, and by the time they’re out of their shells, the worms would have grown.

While I understand your concern for me, since we intend to do this, we have to do it right and make sure it’s successful.

Now, the opportunity is right here in front of us, and what we need to do is seize it and expand it. Not to mention turning it into a ladder to the clouds, but it should at least be a protective charm!

Our landlord background is a shortcoming for us siblings, be it donating family assets or being descendants of heroes, all stem from our elders’ legacy. When useful, it can be decisive, but when not, it might be meaningless. To protect ourselves and our family in these increasingly critical times, we need the ability to break free from this status trap.

Once we establish unique contributions to the country and society, then even if someone brings up our status, countless beneficiaries would stand up, declaring that despite our landlord ancestry, we have made significant contributions to D and the country as patriotic martyrs.

Our uncles sacrificed their precious lives for the construction of New China, making us honorable children of heroes. Even we ourselves have contributed to national construction, benefiting thousands of poor farmers’ families!"

In her past life, Shuzhen’s heart was ached by the betrayal and the past sufferings of her of her brothers in the family search and struggle. Although after her rebirth she immediately transferred all the family’s assets and prepared a counterattack plan, she still couldn’t be thoroughly at ease. Now that a good opportunity is at hand, she couldn’t resist seizing it to advance her family and eliminate future concerns.

After her speech, Lianshan was left speechless, holding her tightly in his arms: "Follow through with your plans, my son and I will always be behind you, standing by your side. However, while you have my support, could you also show me some tenderness? Take good care of my wife; I’m counting on her to stay healthy and live a long life with me!"
