Chapter 417: Seventies: The Mature Husband 17

Hearing Chen Cheng's words, her mother immediately exploded.

“What did you say? That little bastard dared to molest you! I'll have your father bring people over and drag him to the police station!”

With that, she shouted toward Chen Cheng's father, “Honey, come out quickly! Someone bullied our daughter!”

Soon, Chen Cheng's father came out. “What's going on?”

“That hooligan Xue Xingtong bullied Cheng'er!”

“What? How dare he! He actually dared to bully my daughter!” A trace of anger appeared on the village Party secretary's face.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng hurriedly said, “Dad, Mom, don't be impulsive. Although I really want to have that old lecher Xue Xingtong sent to the police station, if we do that, I'm afraid the whole village will find out about this! What kind of face would I have left? Wouldn't everyone point fingers at me and gossip about me?”

Hearing this, the village Party secretary's expression darkened, and he nodded. “That's true!”

But then he said coldly, “But he bullied you. We can't just let this matter go! Cheng'er, don't be afraid. Dad will get revenge for you!”

Chen Cheng immediately nodded. “Mm! Dad, spring is about to start. You have to assign him the hardest and most exhausting work!”

“Of course!”

He had conveniently forgotten that he had always assigned the hardest and most exhausting work to Xue Xingtong.

……

After reporting everything to her parents, Chen Cheng felt much better.

She was reborn, after all, and knew plenty of things about the future. Once the reform and opening up began, she could go into business and buy stocks herself, making a huge fortune.

As for Xue Xingtong?

Hmph!

She would have her father crush him into the dirt before he had the chance to rise, and then she'd see how he could become a business tycoon in the future!

Unfortunately, Tang Wan, that bitch, had witnessed what happened today. Otherwise, as long as she insisted that Xue Xingtong had molested her, she could have gotten him locked up in the police station for at least several years!

……

After February arrived, the villagers all began digging the land and doing farm work.

The village Party secretary assigned Xue Xingtong a patch of wasteland and said, “Little Xue, there still isn't enough farmland in the village. We need to clear more land. I'll leave this patch of wasteland to you. You have to finish digging it before spring planting.”

Hearing this, Xue Xingtong knew perfectly well that the village Party secretary was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he still nodded. “Understood.”

Seeing him obediently nod, the village Party secretary gave a light snort and left.

After he left, Xue Xingtong went home to get the farm tools and took the twins with him to dig the wasteland.

The wasteland was hard, with bits of gravel scattered throughout it, making it particularly difficult to dig.

“Big Brother, why did the team leader make us dig wasteland? What can we even plant here?” the boy couldn't help asking after they had been digging for a while.

“He's the village Party secretary. If he tells us to dig it, then we'll dig it,” Xue Xingtong said.

Everyone had to work anyway. Since the other party had told him to dig the wasteland, he would just dig it.

……

But Xue Xingtong hadn't expected that after he finished digging the wasteland before spring planting, the village Party secretary would say with an expression of regret, “Little Xue, I'm really sorry. I thought we could grow crops on this patch of land! Looks like it's not suitable after all! How about I assign you another patch of land to dig? Since nothing can be planted here, I won't record any work points for it.”

Hearing this, Xue Xingtong immediately clenched his fists.

But he still desperately suppressed the urge to beat the man senseless.

“I understand.” Xue Xingtong neither argued nor voiced his dissatisfaction.

In the village, the village Party secretary held considerable power. Without him issuing a letter of introduction, even if Xue Xingtong left Hekou Village, no other production team would accept his family.

Not to mention, he didn't have the money to leave the village and live somewhere else.

So for now, he could only swallow his anger.
