Chapter 100 Host, I never expected you to be so despicable.

Qishui Brigade was a large production team with a population of over a thousand. It had its own sideline business, namely the team's livestock breeding team, which raised twenty old sows and two breeding pigs. This number was considered a large-scale livestock breeding operation in the entire commune.

Not only that, there is also a small chicken farm with about a hundred hens and dozens of roosters, and in the cowshed next door there are three old yellow oxen and five horses.

These are all common property of the Qishui Brigade, and also the honor of the entire brigade. After all, there are only a few production teams in the entire commune that can apply for such a large number of livestock.

So the whole brigade treated these livestock like treasures, building brick houses for them and having people specifically assigned to take care of them every day.

The villagers certainly didn't mind the smell of these animals; in their eyes, they were the treasures that allowed them to make a living in this era.

But the educated youth from the city avoided this place like the plague. After all, the smell inside was really unpleasant, and they only got a maximum of five work points a day. It was also tiring. Most of the dirty and hard work inside was assigned to those living in cowsheds or those who had made mistakes in the village.

The team leader of the fourth team brought Chen Xiuhua and Liu Zhenzhu over, explained the mistakes they had made, and then hurriedly returned to the fields.

At this moment, Comrade Tie Jinhua, the team leader of the feeding team, was looking at Chen Xiuhua and Liu Zhenzhu with a cold and stern face.

She was a notorious, ruthless, and domineering woman in the village. She took two large brooms and two dark wooden buckets and threw them in front of her. She stood to the side with her tall and strong figure and pointed to the five pigsties next to her.

"Today, all five pigsties must be thoroughly cleaned. There can't be any pig manure or urine inside. The stone troughs must also be cleaned. If they aren't cleaned before the end of the workday, there will be no work points for today."

In addition, since you two were sent here for making a mistake, you will only receive three work points per day this month. Remember, these pigs are much more valuable than you pampered educated youths. Even if you were sold, you wouldn't be worth as much as the pigs in our brigade. If you frighten or hurt these pigs, I will definitely have the brigade leader send you back to the educated youth office. Where you will be assigned then will depend on your fate.

So, all of you better get to work properly and stop causing me any trouble. Nobody here will tolerate your quirks.

After speaking, Tie Jinhua glared at the two men with a threatening look, then turned and walked out. As the person in charge, she had a lot of work to do every day and didn't have time to waste on these two ungrateful educated youths.

Liu Zhenzhu stood outside the pigpen gate, covering her mouth and nose with a look of disgust, and glared fiercely at Chen Xiuhua next to her.

"It's all your fault. Why did you have to provoke that lunatic Bai Nuo? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here suffering like this." Liu Zhenzhu frowned as she looked at the piles of pig excrement and urine in the pigpen, her disgust almost overflowing. "It's disgusting."

Chen Xiuhua lowered her head slightly, looking like a wronged child, her eyes full of disgust, but her voice was weak and delicate, as if she were an innocent and pitiful girl who had been bullied.

"I... I didn't say anything. Didn't you say those things?" Chen Xiuhua complained softly, then, worried that Liu Zhenzhu would take her anger out on her, she quickly changed the subject. "What are we going to do now? We only get three work points a day this month, and we don't even know if we'll be able to go back to the team next month. These work points are not enough to eat."

She owed the brigade a lot of grain when the grain was distributed last year. Although she didn't get high work points when working in the fields, she still got at least five or six points a day. After paying off the owed work points at the end of the year, she could exchange the remaining work points for grain and borrow some from the brigade headquarters, so she wouldn't starve.

But with such few work points each day, she won't have enough to repay the brigade by the end of the year, and she's really worried that the brigade headquarters won't lend her any more grain then.

This meant she wouldn't have enough to eat herself, and she wouldn't be able to secretly send food home anymore. Her younger brother would also go hungry, and her mother would definitely abandon her then.

"Ask, ask, ask! How am I supposed to know? It's so annoying, you're completely useless." Liu Zhenzhu glared at Chen Xiuhua as if Chen Xiuhua were a worthless piece of trash.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get to work. If you don't clean it properly, you won't be going home tonight. We'll see when it's clean." Tie Jinhua was still worried and came back around, only to see the two of them still standing at the door, dawdling. She was so angry that she yelled.

The already rough voice became even more deafening, startling Chen Xiuhua and Liu Zhenzhu so much that they trembled and turned pale. They quickly picked up their tools and carefully opened the gate of the pigsty and went inside.

Hearing the footsteps leaving, Liu Zhenzhu turned her head and glared at them fiercely. "What a piece of trash! She has no womanly qualities whatsoever. I don't know how she even got married in the first place. She's always hanging around these beasts. It's disgusting."

Chen Xiuhua gripped the large broom tightly with both hands, her head bowed. Hearing Liu Zhenzhu's complaints, her eyes flickered slightly.

“Pearl, stop talking. Tie Jinhua married into the family. I heard her husband was one of the first batch of educated youth sent to the countryside. His family seems to be quite well-off. He had no choice but to marry into the family. Let’s get to work quickly, otherwise we might not be able to go back to the educated youth compound for meals. Don’t worry, I will help you. If we work together, we can get it done faster.”

After being gently comforted by Chen Xiuhua, Liu Zhenzhu had no choice but to hold her nose, pick up a large broom, and start cleaning the pigsty.

The two of them first pushed the pig manure in the pigpen into a pile. During this process, they gagged countless times, and their faces turned green.

Just as the two of them were working while pinching their noses, a small head quietly peeked out from behind a haystack not far away.

Bai Nuo first used his mental power to scan the surroundings and confirm that there were only two people inside the pigpen before carefully placing his palm on the ground.

"Host, I've always known you're unethical, but I never imagined you were this unethical." The system silently emerged, speechless as it looked at the tiny sprout of grass emerging from the pigpen floor.

Her host's actions of burrowing into the grass on the concrete floor are truly something else.

The system complained, but its actions were quite conscientious. It immediately put up an isolation barrier over the pigsty in front of it, feeling a pang of heartache.

This thing... it's such a waste of points!

Bai Nuo rolled her eyes at the system that was floating by and making sarcastic remarks, but her hands never stopped moving.

Two tiny green blades of grass sprouted from the ground and gently nudged Chen Xiuhua's feet.

"ah!"

A gasp came from inside the pigsty. Chen Xiuhua felt as if something had stepped on her foot, and then she tilted to the side. Then, her foot slid, and she fell directly towards Liu Zhenzhu on the other side.

"Pfft."

"Pfft!"

Inside the pigsty, two people successively smashed their faces into two piles of freshly piled-up pig manure. Something like that.
