Chapter 2460: Chapter 2460: Such a Patsy
"How about this, Brother An, let’s help Brother Qing Ke plant this plot of corn together, then we can go to Brother Qing Ke’s house to talk?" He looked at An Que and suggested.
"Ah?"
An Que was utterly stunned by these words.
He just came to see if Brother Ziyu was really here so he could be assured; he didn’t come to help Qing Ke plant any corn.
"This..."
"Hurry up, Brother An, the sooner we finish planting, the sooner we can go to Brother Qing Ke’s house to discuss this matter."
Brother Ziyu didn’t even give An Que a chance to refute, handing another hoe to him and directly setting up tasks for the three of them.
An Que was rather unlucky. Originally, Qing Ke was supposed to plant corn here with his brother, but upon seeing Brother Ziyu, his brother put down the hoe, planning to plant after they finished talking.
Who would have thought that now An Que, such a guileless burden, would show up and be caught to help.
"Brother An, next, Brother Qing Ke will dig the holes, I will plant the seeds, and your task is simple, just cover the holes with seeds in them," Brother Ziyu said to An Que, whose face was full of reluctance.
As for An Que’s unpleasant expression, Brother Ziyu just pretended not to notice.
An Que really didn’t want to do farm work. These tasks, even in his own home, his grandma and mother wouldn’t be willing to let him do them; it was always done by several uncles and aunts. Why would they need him?
Now, visiting Brother Qing Ke’s house, he was actually being asked to help plant corn. Wasn’t this deliberately giving him a hard time?
If Brother Qing Ke proposed such a thing, he would have surely refused, but it happened that this was proposed by Brother Ziyu, who had a very good family background and acquaintances in the county government.
He simply couldn’t openly reject Brother Ziyu’s words.
In the end, unwillingly, he had to join the two in planting corn.
However, not long after, when he heard Brother Qing Ke mention that this large piece of land was all going to be planted with corn, his face turned as dark as it could get.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he should have turned around and left immediately when he saw Brother Ziyu here, then he wouldn’t end up being ordered around to do labor.
This damn mindset of saving face is really undesirable. In the future, I must avoid doing such foolish things again.
But now, although he cursed in his heart, he still had to work.
Under the watchful eyes of Ziyu and Qing Ke, An Que wielded the hoe as if it were a knife, which made both of them anxious, secretly worried that he might chop his own foot with it.
Although they followed Mr. Shi’s suggestion to come here and set up An Que, they certainly didn’t plan for him to lose a foot here.
With each swing of the hoe, Brother Ziyu secretly regretted it in his heart, muttering: if this guy ends up chopping off his own foot, would he take the chance to hold Brother Qing Ke responsible?
If that really happened, wouldn’t that mean he had done more harm than good?
Brother Qing Ke worriedly kept an eye on An Que, but deep down, he also had a bit of contempt.
Obviously, they both came from the same village, but look at An Que, he can’t even use a hoe properly. How useless. A person like this, who is spoon-fed at home, can he really serve the country in the future?
Initially, he felt some sympathy for An Que, but seeing him wield the hoe so dangerously, that tiny bit of sympathy completely disappeared.
A person like this, he might as well stay in the village for life, wielding a hoe forever!
