Chapter 197 I Had Known This Day Would Come
"Uncle..."
"Don't call me uncle. This matter of yours must be handled impartially! Now that the work points for the entire team have been counted, if we give Xiaolin the extra work points, where will the extra food come from?"
The captain frowned and questioned Zhao Xin in a bad tone.
It was only after arriving in Qinghe Village that Lin Yinyin realized how troublesome it was to exchange work points for food.
After the autumn harvest, we must first go to the grain station to hand in the grain, and then the remaining grain can be distributed to the villagers in the village. The work points of everyone in the village in a year are counted, and the value of one work (ten work points) is calculated based on the remaining grain of the production team. Therefore, the annual work value is not fixed.
When the harvest is good, you can earn one or two yuan per job. If the harvest is bad, you can only earn a few cents per job.
So now the food in the brigade has started to be distributed, and it has already been distributed to more than 20 households. We cannot recalculate the labor value because of Lin Yinyin’s personal problem.
Moreover, if Lin Yinyin is given more work points, the other villagers will inevitably get less food. Even if one family gives a bowl of food to Lin Yinyin, others will not be willing to accept it.
"Some of the food has already been distributed. We can't just take it back..." Then let's continue distributing the food according to this. After all, don't they have family members to support them? The people in the city won't look down on this little food!
Zhao Xin lowered his head and responded in a low voice, only saying half of his words.
"Humph! You've already made plans. Are you planning to let Xiaolin the educated youth suffer this loss? Don't even think about it! No way!
Since it’s hard to get the food back after you’ve distributed it, then use some of your own food to give to Xiaolin the educated youth.”
After hearing what Zhao Xin said, the captain was so angry that his blood rushed to his head! What a bullshit!
When he came here just now, he was still thinking that Zhao Xin was his junior. At worst, he could just throw in some food and solve the problem. It would not be good for him if the matter got out of hand.
But he didn't expect that this brat Zhao Xin had no intention of admitting his mistake at all!
"Uncle! How can this be possible! You also know my family..."
"Captain, let's not talk about giving me food for now. I feel like I'm definitely not the only one in my situation. Let's calculate the work points!"
Lin Yinyin thought for a moment and continued, "I think we should start with the educated youth in our Youth Academy. After all, Scorer Xiao Zhao doesn't like the people in our Youth Academy."
"Then let's start with me."
Lin Jianhe, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward. There was no doubt that there was something wrong with his work points.
"Well, if you want to check, go ahead. Let's suspend the grain distribution today and wait for Lin Zhiqing to find out. If the rest of you have any questions, come and check it out. Accountant Wang, go get our village's former scorekeeper."
The team leader waved his hand and asked Accountant Wang, who was sitting next to him, to call for help. He said he could no longer handle this matter. Thinking about how Secretary Gu of the commune had been talking and laughing with the educated youth Xiao Lin every day recently, he was afraid that this matter would not be resolved peacefully.
When Zhao Xin heard what the captain said, his legs went limp and he sat back down on the chair. He was done...
The next second, he reached out to grab the scorebook, but Lin Jianhe had been on guard against Zhao Xin and had taken the book away earlier, so Zhao Xin missed.
"You still want to destroy the evidence?" Lin Yinyin glared and shouted loudly.
When Lin Yinyin shouted like this, the surrounding villagers immediately looked at Zhao Xin with different eyes, each of them looking at him with a scrutinizing look.
Destroying evidence? Zhao Xin must be feeling guilty! If he hadn't done anything wrong, why would he feel guilty?
There must be something wrong in the scorebook. I don’t know if their work points were also given less. Now everyone started to have doubts in their hearts.
"Captain, it's alright if we don't distribute food today, but we still have to carefully calculate our work points. What if we're shortchanged?"
"The work points have been recorded for a year, how can we just let it go? I think the previous scorekeeper was the best. Nothing happened in all these years. If Zhao Xin wasn't a relative of the team leader, he wouldn't have been the scorekeeper!"
“People with connections are the most annoying!”
"......"
The thing the captain was most worried about happened. He shouldn't have agreed to let his wife's nephew come to the village to be a scorekeeper. Now, if something happens, he can't escape.
"Why don't you get up and get out of the way! Are you still embarrassing yourself here?"
"Eh? Captain, Scorer Xiao Zhao can't leave. He still has to be here to watch the results and bear the consequences."
Lin Yinyin stopped Zhao Xin who was about to leave, and joked that if Zhao Xin ran away, where would she find him?
"Right! Scorer Xiao Zhao can't leave!"
"Can't leave!"
"If you don't leave, I'll just let him stand aside and watch. Don't worry, I will definitely give everyone an explanation today.
You have to believe me!
Why hasn’t Accountant Wang come back yet? Is it so slow to find someone?
The team leader felt very anxious today, but he still didn't want to bring the matter to the commune. It would be better if he could solve it himself in the village.
Another seven or eight minutes later, Accountant Wang came over with a man who looked to be in his forties.
This person was the previous scorer. Lin Yinyin still had an impression of her. She was an honest and simple person, a thousand times better than Zhao Xin in front of her.
But the previous scorer also brought a notebook over...
"You're finally here. Now we're waiting for you to save the situation. You're the only one who can take over this mess."
"Haha, Captain, I knew this day would come. Here's the work points I recorded privately. I hope it helps you."
Scorer Li smiled innocently, looking harmless.
However, Lin Yinyin didn't think so. The previous scorer was definitely not as honest as he seemed. He must be a smart and careful person. Otherwise, why would he keep another score in private?
Is this something an honest person could do? But she did have to thank this scorekeeper Li. If he hadn't secretly recorded the work points, she really didn't know how many work points she was short of.
"Thanks so much to you, let's get started, everyone is waiting."
The captain patted Scorer Li on the shoulder with a stiff expression and asked, "What would have happened if I had known this day would come?"
In fact, when Zhao Xin first came to Qinghe Village to take over the job of scorer Li, his attitude was not very good. Relying on the fact that he was a cultured person, he looked down on scorer Li, who had not even graduated from elementary school.
The handover of work between the two was not very pleasant, but fortunately, Scorer Li had a good temper.
