Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After Wang Xiaohua took Gu Wenqing on a tour of the abandoned primary school, he drove her to town to eat, originally planning to stop by the town's middle school for a look after the meal.

However, because it was too late and happened to be summer vacation, the middle school's gate was tightly shut, and even the security guard at the gate had already gone off duty, so they could only wait until the next day to come back and look.

So he took Gu Wenqing to the small shop at the street corner, bought toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels and other toiletries, and then returned to Shanggou Village.

Nights in the township were exceptionally quiet, with no entertainment activities at all.

Wang Xiaohua tidied up a room for Gu Wenqing to use, then went back to his own room.

At this time Wang Erhai called, asking how Zhou Zhihao's situation was.

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Zhou Zhihao is managing the farm quite well."

Wang Xiaohua thought to himself whether he should tell his Second Brother about the matter between Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui.

On second thought, he felt it was better to forget it.

After all, no matter how Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui carried on, it had nothing to do with them.

This kind of matter involving someone else's privacy, it was still best not to spread it around carelessly.

However, Wang Erhai's next words forced Wang Xiaohua to reconsider the matter.

Wang Erhai said:

"Even a surprise inspection couldn't find any fault; looks like Zhou Zhihao is still quite trustworthy. In that case, going forward, I can rest assured letting him join my agricultural products distribution company."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua immediately froze:

"Second Brother, you weren't just having Zhou Zhihao help watch the farm — you actually want him to join your agricultural products distribution company?"

Wang Erhai said:

"My agricultural products distribution company is short a trustworthy manager. If Zhou Zhihao can withstand the test, then naturally I'll use him. After all, he's our acquaintance; his reliability is comparatively higher."

Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment. Since it involved his Second Brother's interests, Wang Xiaohua felt he still had to give a reminder, so he said:

"Better not let Zhou Zhihao be your agricultural products distribution company's manager; he's not suitable."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai immediately showed surprise:

"Third Brother, why do you have this thought? Weren't you just saying he managed the farm quite well?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Him managing the farm well and whether he can be your agricultural products distribution company's manager are two different things, right?"

Wang Erhai still didn't understand:

"I don't get it. Why do you feel he's unsuitable?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"This manager must be trustworthy and of good character, but Zhou Zhihao isn't worthy of your trust, and his character isn't as reliable as it appears on the surface."

Wang Erhai felt somewhat stifled inside:

"How did you reach these conclusions?"

He felt that since Zhou Zhihao could endure staying long-term in Shanggou Village guarding the farm and still do the job well, that proved he was trustworthy and proved his character was fine.

Hearing Wang Erhai press like this, Wang Xiaohua knew that if he didn't let Wang Erhai know the secret between Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui, he probably couldn't change Wang Erhai's idea of wanting Zhou Zhihao to be the farm products distribution company's manager.

So in the end he still decided to tell the secret:

"Second Brother, I'll tell you a secret, but the premise is you must promise me you'll keep it confidential and won't lightly reveal it to others."

Wang Erhai felt baffled:

"Go ahead, what secret? I definitely won't lightly tell anyone!"

Wang Xiaohua added:

"Best not even tell Second Sister-in-law. This kind of thing, the fewer people who know the better; otherwise it might bring a whole heap of trouble."

Wang Erhai couldn't help but freeze, thinking what kind of matter this was, to be this serious.

But still hurriedly said:

"Okay okay okay, you hurry up and say it, don't keep me in suspense!"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Today Teacher Gu and I flew a drone over Shanggou Village for a while, and the drone accidentally captured a secret!"

"What secret?"

"Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui, inside the cornfield, doing that kind of illicit act!"

"What?!" Wang Erhai was directly stunned. "No, isn't Li Yuncui about to marry our Cousin? I just got a call from Cousin saying he and Li Yuncui are holding their wedding on August 1st! Telling me I must attend!"

Wang Xiaohua showed a complex smile:

"I got Cousin's call too. Can only say, he's really quite pitiful. At such an old age he finally found a partner with great difficulty, yet it turns out to be this kind of woman."

Wang Erhai truly couldn't bear it, so he said:

"No, I'm telling Cousin. After all he's family; can't let him muddle-headedly marry Li Yuncui!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Don't, Second Brother! This kind of thing, you tell him and he might not believe you; even if he believes you he might not be grateful. Cousin has already given Li Yuncui's family 100,000 bride price — that money is no small amount for his family!"

Wang Erhai was stifled:

"Could it be we just let it be like this, not caring about anything?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Right, don't worry about anything! Don't be so kind-hearted, have you forgotten the lesson Liang Xinghua gave you? Human nature, this thing, it's not that just because you help someone with good intentions, they'll be grateful to you."

Wang Erhai, hearing this, also felt Wang Xiaohua's words made sense.

Wang Xiaohua said again:

"The reason I'm telling you this secret is so you can see clearly Zhou Zhihao's character; he isn't as honest as he appears on the surface. Letting him see the farm is fine, letting him become an employee of your Agricultural Products Distribution Company is also fine, but absolutely cannot support him to become a Leader, even the smallest Leader won't do."

Wang Erhai's expression was heavy:

"Understood, Third Brother, good thing you reminded me, otherwise I really couldn't see through Zhou Zhihao's true face."

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"Second Brother, you should have seen through him long ago; initially he disregarded everything and eloped with Li Yuncui, which shows this person's thoughts are extremely selfish, only considering himself and not others, this kind of person fundamentally shouldn't be given important positions."

Wang Erhai, hearing this, nodded again.

Have to admit, in this aspect of judging people and matters, although he has even richer social experience than his Third Brother, he still falls short of his Third Brother.

"Then okay, then I'll turn back, find an opportunity to fire him; since he's not trustworthy, can't keep letting him help guard the farm, after all the farm raises so many chickens, so many fish, planted so many fruit trees, can't withstand being poisoned again."

Wang Xiaohua however said:

"Firing him, this matter, not urgent; because even if you want to fire him, you still need to find a legitimate reason, firing him directly without reason, on the contrary easily lets hatred grow in his heart."

Wang Erhai frowned:

"This reason, afraid it won't be easy to find."

Wang Xiaohua however said:

"We'll just wait patiently; I feel with Zhou Zhihao's personality, there's a high possibility he'll make some moves at our Cousin and Li Yuncui's wedding; at that time, naturally there'll be a legitimate reason to fire him."

Wang Erhai was somewhat hesitant:

"How do you know Zhou Zhihao will make moves at the wedding?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"Guessed it."

Actually he based it on Zhou Zhihao's words and conduct, carried out logical reasoning, and derived this conclusion.

Zhou Zhihao's elopement, not only shows he's selfish, but also shows he's extremely prone to going to extremes.

Since he and Li Yuncui are still entangled, then judging by this personality of his that's prone to extremes, naturally there's a high possibility he'll make some moves at the wedding.

Because people prone to extremes, in their hearts generally think:

"What I can't get, you don't get to have either!"
