Chapter 300 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 41
Zhao Xue's expression froze, "What's the use of regretting? I saved your son in the first place, so your son had to marry me! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have let him marry a wife!"
"Did I say something wrong? Lu Jianjun is married and I'm his wife, so shouldn't his money be mine? You're forcing him to hand over most of his money. How can you be an elder like that? You're disrespectful to your elders!"
As soon as Lu Jianjun left, Zhao Xue naturally lost her good temper towards other people and stopped pretending at all.
Coupled with Mother Lu's obviously bad attitude towards her, she was very angry and naturally did not show any courtesy.
"You, you..." Mother Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over. It seemed that she was about to fall down. Lu's younger brother and sister-in-law hurriedly supported her on both sides to help her.
After taking a breath, Mother Lu shot a sharp look at Zhao Xue.
"Okay! You are indeed the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, but I'm going to make this clear today. If you don't work, don't even think about eating at home! If you have the guts, go talk to Jianjun and see what he says!"
Lu Jianjun is Lu Mu's son, so she naturally understands his character. Zhao Xue would never get any good result by doing this.
Zhao Xue hesitated. Before Lu Jianjun left, he asked her to help with housework. If she went to talk to him about it, Lu Jianjun would definitely not stand on her side.
Zhao Xue, who had nothing to say, snorted and left angrily.
But from the next day, Zhao Xue went to work.
She didn't work seriously and would slack off from time to time. At the end of the day, the number of work points she earned was almost the same as that of a child.
Seeing that Lu's mother just rolled her eyes at her and didn't say anything else, Zhao Xue felt relieved and continued to do as she pleased every day.
When the next market day came, Zhao Xue went straight to the scrap yard to pick out teaching materials.
According to the plot in the book and the progress of the tasks on the task panel, news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will be announced in October next year, and the examination hall will be held two months later.
She is now restricted everywhere in the village. She doesn't know when she can get promoted and join the army with the help of Lu Jianjun. She must think of other ways to leave here.

In the blink of an eye, the wheat was ripe. The dull hot wind blew past, and the golden waves of wheat swayed like waves. Everyone in Xinghua Village was busy harvesting.
Now is the double-harvest season, and the team leader is afraid of bad weather. In order to harvest the wheat quickly, all the adults and children in the village go to the fields, getting up early and working in the dark, under the scorching sun.
Jiang Yueshu was wearing a straw hat and mechanically using a sickle to cut wheat. Fang Ruoyao came over with a sad face and sighed.
"Oh, I can't take it anymore, take a break, I feel like my waist is no longer mine!"
Jiang Yueshu straightened his back and looked at the crowd around him.
Apart from her and Fang Ruoyao, even Cheng Yueyue had gone to the fields as the production task was very tight.
Everyone around had a tired look on their face. Their faces were red from the scorching sun, their lips were dry and chapped, their backs seemed to be bent, and they were panting.
Jiang Yueshu walked to the ridge of the field, took a sip of the kettle filled with mung bean soup to moisten her throat, then carried it over and handed it to Fang Ruoyao.
After taking several gulps, Fang Ruoyao finally came to her senses. She was wrapped up tightly, with only her sweaty face showing under the straw hat.
"Help! How long will it take us to finish harvesting the crops? If only we had a wheat harvester!" she murmured to herself.
Before Jiang Yueshu could reply, she started to yell again, "Oh, that's not right. We need a tractor too! After harvesting the wheat, we have to plow the land and plant corn. The cows and people in the production team will be exhausted!!"
As they were talking, a loud "boom" was heard not far away, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn over there.
"Oh my God!" Fang Ruoyao exclaimed, and she pressed Jiang Yueshu's shoulders with some excitement.
"Jiang Jiang, look! Is that a tractor? With a tractor, we won't have to work so hard during the autumn ploughing!"
Everyone else in the field was looking at the end of the village with surprise, seeing a huge creature slowly moving forward.
Most of the villagers didn't know what it was, but after they pricked up their ears and heard Fang Ruoyao's words without any concealment, their eyes suddenly became warm.
“It’s a tractor!”
Jiang Yueshu nodded in reply, and like everyone else, kept looking over there.
Everyone had hope in their hearts and worked absent-mindedly. They turned around curiously from time to time, and their originally weak bodies seemed to be filled with energy again.
As the crowd waited anxiously, the tractor, which had just moved halfway, suddenly stalled with a "poof" and stopped where it was.
Everyone blinked to make sure they were not seeing things, and began to move towards the car involuntarily, talking about something as they walked.
"What's wrong? Why did the tractor stop?" Fang Ruoyao tried to open her eyes wide, "Jiang Jiang, let's go and take a look to see what's going on!"
Jiang Yueshu nodded. They had not taken a few steps when the tractor started moving again, then stopped again after a few steps.
Everyone: "..."
Now everyone became anxious and started running over there.
"Captain, what happened? Why did the tractor stop?"
"Yeah, this tractor couldn't be broken, why did it stop after a few steps?"
"Oh, why is this still a broken one? The fields are in urgent need of it."
"Where did you get this tractor? If it doesn't work, take it back and have it fixed!"
The captain sighed softly and raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent.
"Okay, stop talking. These are the tractors allocated by the county. There are only three of them, and they are distributed to the villages below us."
"This is probably an old problem. It may not work. You guys go back to harvest wheat and wait for someone to take a look. If it works, use it."
Everyone exclaimed "Ah" and was greatly disappointed.
What a crappy tractor!
While the captain was speaking, the tractor had already repeated the same process of moving and not moving.
Some people hurried back to the fields to harvest wheat in dejection, while others stayed behind unwillingly, still holding on to the hope that the tractor could be repaired.
Jiang Yueshu looked at the tractor carefully, and followed the others back to the field thoughtfully.
When I came to work in the afternoon, the tractor had already arrived at the village entrance and was on strike.
The villagers were particularly concerned about the condition of the tractor. Whenever they met, they would ask, "Captain, how is the tractor? Can it be used?"
The captain tapped his pipe and shook his head, "No, they said we have to wait for the technicians from the county to come over and take a look. They haven't arrived yet."
Everyone: "..."
They left, shaking their heads and sighing, and continued to work in the fields.
After work in the evening, the villagers went to join in the fun, but the tractor was still parked there.
Everyone asked questions in confusion, and the team leader said with disappointment that the county technician had something urgent to do and would not come until tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, everyone went back disappointed.
Jiang Yueshu mixed in the crowd and followed Fang Ruoyao back to have dinner. Fang Ruoyao was sighing along the way.
There was a tractor available, but the one we brought back was a broken one, which is really worrying.
After dinner, Jiang Yueshu picked and chose with the toolbox in the yard, then took a book from the desk and went out.
The weather is hot and muggy in the summer, so people generally don’t go to bed so early. Most of them stay in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
When Fang Ruoyao saw her about to go out, she hurriedly followed her.
"Jiang Jiang, where are you going? Take me with you!"
Jiang Yueshu stopped and shook the toolbox. "I'll go check on the tractor. The sooner it's fixed, the sooner it can be used."
"Really?" Fang Ruoyao was surprised.
She had often seen Jiang Yueshu taking apart a bunch of equipment and looking at it seriously while comparing it with books.
At first, Jiang Jiang only looked at some farm tools and equipment at home and outside. Later, when they went to the town, they went to the scrap yard together.
Jiang Jiang picked up a bunch of broken parts that she thought were junk, such as watches, radios, etc. She accepted them all and took them back happily.
At first she thought it was a waste of money to buy this and advised Jiang Jiang several times, but she said calmly that she knew what was going on.
Within a few days, the broken watch and radio were repaired.
Fang Ruoyao was shocked and truly felt that she had made a close friend who was extremely talented!
Precisely because she had some understanding of Jiang Yueshu, Fang Ruoyao had no doubts at all when Jiang Yueshu made such a decision. She just confirmed it with a look of surprise.
After all, this is the key to my life and death these days!
"Go and have a look, it should be able to be repaired." Jiang Yueshu looked calm and seemed somewhat confident.
Hearing this, Fang Ruoyao immediately ran towards Jiang Yueshu excitedly, "Okay! Jiang Jiang, I'll help you get your things!"
As soon as they went out, they ran into Cheng Shuo and his sister who happened to be out for a walk. Cheng Shuo consciously took the toolbox from Jiang Yueshu and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Come along! Yueyue and I will go for a walk too!"
Jiang Yueshu nodded, and the four of them headed towards the village entrance.
At the entrance of the village, the team leader had just finished the meal sent by his family and was thinking about how to arrange people to watch over the tractor at night.
Although the tractor was broken, it was a big thing after all, and he felt uneasy without someone watching it.
Hearing footsteps, the captain looked and saw four people.
"Erya, come out for a walk?" The captain spoke to Jiang Yueshu, the person he had the best impression of.
Jiang Yueshu nodded and smiled, "Captain, let's go out for a walk."
After the two nodded, Jiang Yueshu moved closer to the tractor and started to look at it.
The captain thought she was simply curious and didn't say anything.
It was not until Jiang Yueshu signaled Cheng Shuo to put down the toolbox and picked up the book in Fang Ruoyao's hand that the captain was slightly surprised.
The days are longer in the summer. Although it is still light now, it is not a good time to read as it is too tiring for the eyes.
She is holding both the box and the book. What is she doing?
Before asking her, Jiang Yueshu handed the book to the captain, and Cheng Shuo handed over the flashlight.
"Captain, look at this. I've seen this book before. Is this a picture of a tractor?"
The captain quickly leaned in to take a closer look, and after comparing the two, he found that they did look somewhat similar, and replied uncertainly.
“It looks like the same thing.”
The entire tractor in the picture has the same appearance and some parts, but the inside is a mixture of various parts that are unknown.
He didn't understand what Jiang Yueshu meant by bringing the book over and saying these words.
"Yes, Captain, it's written on this diagram, too. It's a schematic diagram of the inside of a tractor."
Jiang Yueshu turned another page and pointed at some words.
The captain nodded, with some vague guesses in his mind.
"Captain, look, this book lists some places where tractors are prone to failure. I've read them all and want to check if there's anything wrong. After all, you never know when the weather will change, so it's better to fix it sooner rather than later. God waits for no one!"
Seeing the captain's dull expression, Jiang Yueshu continued.
"Captain, the technicians from the county won't arrive until tomorrow. There won't be a car until around noon. It'll take an hour to get from the county. How long will we have to wait? I'm just going to take a look at the situation first. If it doesn't work, when the technician comes, he can check it again. Isn't that better?"
"No," the captain swallowed, "Erya, are you saying you can repair tractors?"
The captain's eyes opened wide and he stared at Jiang Yueshu with a look of disbelief.
"Captain, don't we have a book here? I've read it before. There's nothing wrong if we follow the book!" Jiang Yueshu shook the book.
"No, don't joke with me. Repairing a tractor is a big deal. Can you really do it?" The captain still didn't believe it.
If they could learn everything by following the book, then wouldn't everyone be able to become a technician?
He took the book from Jiang Yueshu's hand and tried hard to understand the words in the book.
What with the engine, fuel injection pump, clutch and so on, he was completely confused. What the hell were they?
At a glance, it was mostly densely packed text with a diagram of mechanical parts.
"What is this?" he asked subconsciously, pointing at the name of a part.
Jiang Yueshu took a look and flipped a few pages forward, pointing to the pictures and annotations on them and said, "This is it. It's probably in this position. You can see it after you take it apart in the front. Look at this picture again. This is a partial schematic diagram..."
Jiang Yueshu spoke very clearly, and Cheng Shuo and the other two looked at her with admiration, nodding repeatedly as if pretending to understand.
Captain: “…”
He took a deep breath and said to the other three, "You...all understood?!"
The three of them nodded frantically, "I understand!"
Captain: “…”
Is he really old and useless?
The captain nodded slightly after realizing it, indicating that he understood it too.
He stretched out his hand and pointed out a few more professional terms, preparing to test Jiang Yueshu.
"What about this?"
Jiang Yueshu leaned over to take a look, and heard another magical yet professional explanation.
The captain nodded and knocked on a few more places. Jiang Yueshu talked nonstop and never let a word slip.
Seeing this, the captain felt very relieved. As someone who only had a limited understanding of the subject, he only had one feeling after reluctantly asking a few questions.
That’s not wrong, it seems to be true?
"Okay, good. It seems you are studying very hard. I can let you check the tractor, but you must not touch it at will."
