Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1366: Free Food ( 2 )

The whole mess started from the reckless words of the female educated youth. The male educated youth reminded her, but instead of feeling grateful, she got upset and slandered him.

Her words offended the villagers, and things escalated from there. Now, even if she apologized, the villagers might not accept it. After thinking for a while, An Xuyuan raised his hand and said, "Enough."

The moment they heard his voice, everyone stopped. Even if they were still upset, they only muttered quietly, no longer shouting or scolding.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, he looked at the female educated youth and said, "Comrade, as an educated youth, you should know that once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back."

"Your words damaged the reputations of others and showed disrespect toward the villagers. Since you are here to learn from them, you should show them proper respect."

"Therefore, you will write a self-reflection of no less than 1,000 words, admit your mistake at the gathering this afternoon, and apologize to everyone in public."

"In addition, you will compensate Comrade Pan and Comrade Xu with five jin of flour each for slandering their reputations."

When the female educated youth heard this, she was unwilling. It was already bad enough to apologize in public, but now she also had to give away ten jin of flour!

Noticing her clenching fists, An Xuyuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does Comrade feel my decision is unfair? If so, we can go to the police station and let the officer judge the matter."

As soon as he said this, the female educated youth quickly said, "Vice team leader, I agree! Please don't take this matter to the police."

An Xuyuan nodded and said, "Since you have agreed, then after registering your name, send the flour to the production team office. We will deliver it to Comrade Pan and Comrade Xu on your behalf."

"Okay," the female educated youth replied, her head lowered, hiding her emotions.

She had no other option. If this matter reached the police, her reputation would be ruined, and she might even be detained for re-education.

Slandering and spreading rumors could be treated as either minor or serious offenses, depending on how they were handled and whether the victims were willing to settle it peacefully. Since the vice team leader was settling it peacefully, she had to accept the conditions.

Seeing that no one objected, An Xuyuan clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, go back to your line and register your name. We need to finish this before noon so we can divide the teams. Let's not delay and cause more trouble."

With him present, no one pressed further, and the matter was dropped. However, the villagers no longer looked at the female educated youth kindly. Those who hadn't heard what happened quickly asked others, and the news spread like wildfire.

As the line finally began moving again, Pan Meijia let out a sigh and said, "I didn't do anything, yet I got five jin of flour. I hope more people slander me—I might get more free food."

When Lu Jueyu heard her words, she chuckled and said, "Second sister-in-law, I think you are the only one who would want people to slander you."

"Who would refuse free food?" Pan Meijia said casually.

"That's true. The best food is free food!" Lu Jueyu nodded.

An hour later, it was Pan Meijia's turn. When Comrade Han saw her, his gaze softened. He smiled and asked, "Comrade Pan, are you joining the planting this time?"

Pan Meijia nodded. "Comrade Han, I came to register my husband and myself."

Comrade Han's hand paused for a moment before he continued writing down the names. When he was done, he asked in a low voice, "Comrade Pan, do you have any requests regarding your work?"

Pan Meijia thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine with any work."

Hearing this, Comrade Han glanced at her stomach for a moment before averting his gaze and said, "Okay."

Lu Jueyu noticed his gaze and smiled. Although Comrade Han had a crush on her second sister-in-law, he wasn't annoying like Du Jiawen or Su Anna. He even considered her well-being and helped her in a subtle way.

He had been able to let go and genuinely wished her happiness. He was a good man and his love was gentle. Whoever married him in the future would be blessed.

With this thought, Lu Jueyu reached into her pocket and took out a small package of candied watermelon rinds from her space. Candied watermelon rind wasn't just delicious—it also offered several potential health benefits.

It contained fiber, citrulline, and antioxidants, could aid digestion, potentially lower cholesterol, and contribute to healthy blood pressure and skin. The rind also contains vitamins and minerals.

When it was her turn, Comrade Han greeted her with a smile. "Hello, Sister-in-law. Are you joining the autumn planting?" he asked.

Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "Hello, Comrade Han. This time, it will be my husband and my son joining the autumn planting."

Everyone already knew that Lu Jueyu couldn't do farm work, so when he heard this, he simply nodded and didn't ask further.

Once he finished writing their names, Lu Jueyu placed the small package on the table and said, "Comrade Han, these are some snacks I made from watermelon rinds. They have some health benefits. Everyone has been working hard in this hot weather—please share it with the staff."

Since it was a gift for everyone, Comrade Han didn't refuse and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."

Lu Jueyu nodded and left. While the staff appreciated her kind gesture, some people sneered at her back and muttered sour words.

"Tsk! She only knows how to buy people's hearts."

"Look at her face, she really is a vixen. Even after she got married, she still went around seducing men!"

The two of them were afraid of being scolded by An Xuyuan too, so they only dared to whisper their complaints.
