Chapter 368: Chapter 368

Li Jian Country waited and waited, hoping that Zhao Gang and the others would take the initiative to come forward and share the trouble.

What he didn’t expect was that Zhao Gang and the others pretended not to know about the matter, continuing with their work if there was any, and staying at home if there wasn’t, without going out for a stroll.

This made Li Jian Country deeply understand one thing, that is Zhao Gang and the others were angry and unwilling to get involved in these matters.

Through the eyes of the villagers who went to see Zhan Jing for medical treatment, it was evident that Zhan Jing actually had quite a lot of herbs piled up in their house.

"Do you think someone should talk to Doctor Zhan about the abundance of herbs while pretending to be seeking treatment, seeing if she has any solutions."

Because of these herbs, Li Jian Country didn’t know how many meetings he had started. You could say many ideas were proposed, but no one was willing to go to Doctor Zhan to clear up the matter.

"No one will say it, even I wouldn’t." Accountant Zhang Dahai immediately dismissed this idea, directly stating that it also depends on whether they are willing to respond.

Women’s director Wang Jing also fully agreed with Zhang Dahai, "Exactly. People keep the herbs in the house, doesn’t it mean that they have no way either?"

Li Jian Country, of course, knew this was a silent message, but wasn’t he anxious? "What good ideas do you all have then, if it continues to drag on, no one will be enthusiastic during the autumn harvest."

Even though you could earn work points by working, how much you could actually get wasn’t as much as selling the herbs for profit.

"What do we do if the enthusiasm is lacking? By the way, Jian Country, didn’t you ask Zhen Aijun at the commune? What did he say?" This issue was caused by his wife, and he personally benefited by getting promoted to the commune, so there’s no reason he should now wash his hands of the matter, right?

"What can he do, he told me to come up with a solution myself, saying he is busy with work." Thinking about the experience of going to Gong Commune a few days ago, Li Jian Country was filled with anger. Dıscover more novels at novęlfire.net

Knowing Zhen Aijun is unreliable, but thinking that at any rate they have worked together for so many days, surely he wouldn’t leave him hanging, right? Didn’t expect his answer to be so detestable.

"He also mentioned that if there’s no way to solve it, I should seek out Doctor Zhan and Zhao Gang." If he really had the face to do so, would there be a need to go to the commune to find Zhen Aijun?

Isn’t it just about losing face? Fine, "Alright, I will go and ask Zhao Gang." Isn’t it just a matter of face, Li Jian Country expressed that he didn’t care anymore.

Li Jian Country deeply regretted not listening to his uncle Li Jianjun when he mentioned not to follow Zhen Aijun, saying he would eventually be tricked. Back then, Li Jian Country really didn’t care, always thinking his uncle was getting old and didn’t understand the difficulties of leadership, but now he regrets not listening.

But what good is regret? Actually, it’s best if the uncle steps in, unfortunately, after Li Jianjun learned Li Jian Country and Zhen Aijun were plotting against Zhao Gang and others, he was so angry that he hadn’t returned to the village for a long time. Even when Li Jian Country went to the county, he didn’t see him, which made Li Jian Country anxious.

When Zhang Dahai heard Li Jian Country voluntarily propose to talk to Zhao Gang, he was also relieved. These days, his life at home hasn’t been easy either, the kids are troublesome, and his wife also argues with him about why he followed Zhen Aijun’s words back then, leading to the current awkward situation.

"Leader, we are counting on you for this matter." Wang Jing found it very normal for Li Jian Country to stand up. Wasn’t it always Li Jian Country cleaning up after Zhen Aijun’s wife, and now it’s also normal to clean up after Zhen Aijun.

Looking at everyone’s "as it should be" expressions, Li Jian Country really felt he had failed in his efforts. Clearly, no one else could step up to deal with this, yet they insisted he come forward, which made Li Jian Country feel desolate.

However desolate it may be, he still had to come forward.

So, Li Jian Country swung his hands behind his back and went to the Zhao Family. He walked extremely slowly, not only considering what to say when the time came but also hoping someone would be willing to accompany him to the Zhao Family. But until he reached the Zhao Family’s door, no one stepped forward.

Li Jian Country glanced around, finding himself all alone, and gave a bitter smile, "No one is fine, less embarrassing when facing Zhao Gang, and no rumors will spread if no one sees."

If there’s no face, then lose face in front of Zhao Gang alone.

After a long session of pep talk, Li Jian Country still didn’t dare to knock. Although he was the leader, Zhao Gang’s imposing anger made him genuinely stressed.

Zhao Gang, carrying a bundle of firewood, saw from afar that someone was standing at the entrance, thinking it was a patient. But on a closer look, it turned out to be Li Jian Country.

Standing at the door now must mean he’s here to apologize, Zhao Gang turned around intending to leave, but what use are apologies?

During these days, the reputation his family suffered was not small. Where were those people then, Zhao Gang was dissatisfied thinking about his wife’s condition during those days, even though they had already moved on, would no shadows linger?

"Zhao Gang." Just as Zhao Gang was about to turn and leave, Li Jian Country caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and immediately called out.

Well, he’d already been called, if he left now, it would truly be disrespectful. Moreover, it was outside, and if anyone saw it, God knows how Li Jian Country would mess with him.

"Leader, what brings you here," Zhao Gang slowly walked up, "not feeling well, perhaps."

Most likely unwell, household life isn’t easy, neither is life in the village, but Zhao Gang certainly wouldn’t sympathize with him.

How did Li Jian Country previously defend Zhen Aijun who then ignored him, how could he not be internally furious with that?

Li Jian Country was initially worried whether Zhao Gang would turn and leave; not expecting him to give face and stay, which relieved Li Jian Country quite a bit. These days he hadn’t faced a small amount of frustration; seeing Zhao Gang’s attitude, brought him some joy.

Li Jian Country, more so, wondered if Zhao Gang was just waiting for him to come over, and after a few compliments, Zhao Gang would help resolve the issue?

This thought gave Li Jian Country a boost, he smiled at Zhao Gang like a blooming flower.

Zhao Gang didn’t know his worrying about repercussions would make Li Jian Country have such thoughts, truthfully he wanted to just turn away and leave.

"I’m in fairly good health, but there are matters needing your assistance, Zhao Gang." Knowing Zhao Gang wouldn’t make things difficult for him, Li Jian Country felt genuinely better, he unabashedly stated his purpose for coming.

Truly straightforward, Zhao Gang expected Li Jian Country might have at least softened his words a bit; didn’t expect such directness, sigh, truly not treating him as a person.

Did he really think coming to seek help equaled an apology? Zhao Gang considered how someone like him could remain leader for so many years; how did he manage it, perhaps the Red Flag Brigade really didn’t consist of clever folks.

What’s more, if they were smart, they wouldn’t be so short-sighted, at least wouldn’t have been outsmarted by Zhen Aijun; otherwise how could Zhen Aijun rise higher while Li Jian Country stayed as captain in the village, not to mention still holding the secretary position now.

But then again, how useful is that, he’s still in the brigade, never seen him go to the commune as a leader.

However, those like him are probably better left in the Red Flag Brigade, at least they think about the people, also they wouldn’t just become pawns once they get promoted.

If Zhao Gang knew how Li Jian Country rated him, he would have been furious to the point of spitting blood, truly looking down on him too much.
