Chapter 18 Hate

town.

"You two, we currently have a total of forty-six people here, and they are all here." The manager stood next to Qiao Xuan and Xi He with a smile on his face.

"They are all men who can endure hardships and are good at work." He rubbed his hands, wishing in his heart that the two people in front of him could choose more people to take away.

Qiao Xuan looked at the group of people sitting on the steps, "Besides him, everyone else will go to Taoyuan Village at midnight tomorrow."

"Our village needs to build a road. If you have tools, you can bring them."

The manager was overjoyed, excluding two people, there were forty-four people. By hiring so many people at once, he could draw a lot of money.

The two people who were eliminated in the joy had dark faces and stared at Qiao Xuan with dissatisfaction. Why didn't they want them? She accepted the others but confiscated them. Isn't this intentional targeting?

"Fifty cents a day, wages are paid daily, and you are required to be diligent and practical, and do not cheat or cheat."

Qiao Xuan said calmly, not paying attention to the two cold looks cast on him.

Xi He looked at the two people who had just been picked out by Qiao Xuan.

Both of them were wearing coarse clothes and had gray faces. One had a rounder face, while the other had a long and thin face. They were ordinary people among the crowd, and there was no difference between them at all.

But he believed that Qiao Xuan must have her reasons for doing this.

"Don't worry, girl! They all know everything about me here. If someone's work makes you dissatisfied, just come to me." The manager was afraid that the money in his mouth would be lost, so he patted his chest and promised.

Qiao Xuan smiled heartily and said in a clear and melodious voice, "I'm relieved if you have someone in charge!"

After the person was confirmed, Qiao Xuan and Xi He were about to leave, but they were stopped by someone shouting sternly, "Stop!"

When the manager saw that it was the singled-out Wang Hu and Chen Er who were speaking, they quickly walked over and lowered their voices to warn: "There's a lot of work to do. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time. Don't cause trouble for me, you two!"

However, Wang Hu and Chen Er frowned and did not take his warning seriously. They stared at Qiao Xuan with unconvinced expressions, demanding an explanation.

"Why do others want us?" Wang Hu asked angrily after Qiao Xuan and Xi He turned around.

"Are you targeting us on purpose?" Chen Er took two steps forward with a fierce look on his face.

Qiao Xuan and Xi He looked at each other and raised their chins slightly, "I am the employer, and whoever I want will work. Who do you care about?"

Wang Hu and Chen Er choked, their eyes widened, and their fists behind their backs clenched secretly. The yellow-haired girl actually humiliated them.

"Girl, don't be angry. They are both honest people, but they are rather stubborn. They don't mean any harm."

The manager kept winking at Chen Er and Wang Hu. He didn't care about them, but he was worried that Qiao Xuanyi would be angry and the others wouldn't want them.

Qiao Xuan smiled mockingly and looked at the steward with a meaningful look, "Honest man?"

"You have such a bad way of looking at people!"

The smile on the steward's face was a bit unbearable. He scratched his head and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Chen Er and Wang Hu gritted their teeth, feeling that they had been insulted and despised, "Damn girl, if you don't speak clearly today, don't even think about walking out of this courtyard!"

"Both of us are honest people who work diligently and down-to-earth. We have never been humiliated like this before."

The steward's eyes widened and he shouted: "Chen Er, Wang Hu, shut up!"

Qiao Xuan stood at the door with her arms folded. There was no trace of anger on her face, and she looked calm.

Xi He stared at Chen Er and Wang Hu with an unkind expression, and stood next to Qiao Xuan in a protective posture, "What do you want to do?"

"We just want an explanation! Yes, we need a reasonable explanation." Wang Hu couldn't help but feel nervous when he looked at Xi He. Xi He had a tense face with a sense of coercion.

"You should know for yourself what you have done, why do you need to ask me?" Qiao Xuan pursed his lips, his tone full of contempt.

The expressions of Chen Er and Wang Hu changed slightly, but soon returned to their invulnerable and stubborn looks.

Qiao Xuan saw that the two of them were pretending to be stupid and were stunned to the end, and his eyebrows were filled with coldness, "One killed his father and the other his mother. You really do like birds of a feather."

Chen Er and Wang Hu froze, and their faces instantly turned pale. However, they hid their emotions for just a moment and looked at Qiao Xuan with sinister expressions.

"You damn girl, don't spit on anyone!"

Everyone around looked at each other in confusion. People in the same village as Chen Er and Wang Hu had other thoughts in their minds.

Chen Er's father hanged himself last year and died at home. At that time, Chen Er was the only one in the family. It is well known that the relationship between father and son did not get along. Now that Qiao Xuan mentions it, people who know about it think it is a bit scary to think about it.

.

Wang Hu's mother accidentally fell into the river and drowned a month ago. The first person to find her drowned was Wang Hu. When the body was fished out, there were many injuries. Wang Hu's explanation

It was his mother who accidentally fell when she went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables on the first day.

"Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. It is not that there will be no retribution. The time has not come yet. Do you think that by deceiving other people, you can erase the evil you have done?"

Qiao Xuan's voice sounded, and his words were clear, like a loud drum beating in the hearts of everyone present, "What you owe will eventually be paid! Sooner or later."

Beads of sweat appeared on the faces of Chen Er and Wang Hu, but their mouths were still tough, "Oh! You are spitting blood, and your lies are misleading."

"If you really have evidence, go to the government and sue us. Just pretending to be here and talking nonsense."

"If you don't want us to go to work, we won't go. What's the big deal? Dogs look down on people. Bah!"

In Qiao Xuan's eyes, the two people's vicious words were nothing more than incompetent rage after the scandal was exposed, and it seemed very ridiculous to break the defense.

Xi He looked at the steward and said meaningfully: "You are really brave to dare to leave such a person here."

The steward's face showed panic visible to the naked eye. If what this girl said was true, then he...

No! He had to find a reason to send Chen Er and Wang Hu away, lest he himself would be implicated and lose his life.

After Qiao Xuan and Xi He walked out of the courtyard, Xi He asked: "Do I need to report to the official? Those two people——"

He believed her when she said the two of them had killed someone, without the slightest doubt.

Qiao Xuan shook his head, "There is no evidence, and the county magistrate is not reliable either. Reporting to the official is just a waste of time."

Xi He's face was condensed, and he was filled with hatred in his heart. Dog officials were in power and the common people were being treated like slaves. Unjust cases could not be vindicated.

"Are you going to study for exams in the future?" Qiao Xuan asked coldly, catching Xi He off guard.
