She wanted two more apprentices to deal with the occasional unexpected situation or work for more than twenty hours in a row. Of course, the people in the village wanted to become apprentices so that they would have a better chance of winning when there was another driver spot. This was a win-win situation.
As for Yao Nian, he only saw the short-term benefits in front of him. Yu Bing naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to explain things to him.
When Jiang Chun heard Yao Nian shout at Yu Bing, she rushed forward without even putting down the kitchen knife in her hand, scaring Yao Nian so much that he ran out of the kitchen.
Yu Bing hurriedly stopped him and whispered into Jiang Chun’s ear, “Don’t be angry, it’s not worth it! I’ll tell him.”
After saying that, she stood in front of Jiang Chun and said angrily to Yao Nian, “This position is mine. If I want to take on a disciple, I’ll take on a disciple. If you think I’m wrong, you can go to the village staff to report it. Why are you shouting at me?!”
After spending a few days with Yu Bing, Yao Nian naturally realized that Yu Bing’s temper was different from before. Just now, he was so anxious that he revealed his true colors. Now that he was frightened by Jiang Chun and snubbed by Yu Bing, he had already realized that he couldn’t fight Yu Bing head-on. Otherwise, he would only push her further away.
Yao Nian convinced himself to ignore his ego and force a smile as he said to Yu Bing gently, “Little Bing, don’t misunderstand. I was just worried that you would be bullied. I was anxious, so I accidentally raised my voice.”
Yu Bing couldn’t be bothered to argue with Yao Nian anymore. She pulled Jiang Chun into the kitchen to cook. Food was the most important thing in the world!
Seeing that Yu Bing was ignoring him, Yao Nian felt angry. However, if Yu Bing really accepted apprentices, it would be difficult for him to get past the two experienced tow truck drivers.
Yao Nian stood in the courtyard for a while in frustration. Suddenly, he thought of a plan. He decided to let Yu Bing recommend him. Anyway, there were two spots. It wasn’t too much for him to take one. Moreover, if Yu Bing was the one who took the initiative to recommend him, the villagers would definitely approve.
Yao Nian’s frustration vanished and he took a few deep breaths before entering the kitchen. He smiled at Yu Bing and said, “Tell the village to give me an apprentice spot. We’re on the same side. After I learn it, I can help you drive for a while. If those outsiders learn it, they won’t listen to your instructions anymore!”
Yu Bing naturally couldn’t be bothered to listen to Yao Nian’s lies. She glanced at Yao Nian from the corner of her eye and said indifferently, “Didn’t the radio broadcast last night announce that if you want to be an apprentice, go to the village committee to register and be chosen through the village’s fair competition? It’s not my decision. If you want to learn, just register according to protocol.”
Yao Nian knew his place. He had only been in this village for a few days. If he really dared to participate in the competition, only he would vote for himself.
Yao Nian could tolerate Yu Bing’s cold attitude once or twice, but now that he had directly laid out his cards, Yu Bing was still acting so indifferent. Yao Nian was enraged. However, when he saw Jiang Chun looking at him with a knife, he could only hold back his anger and leave.
When Jiang Chun saw Yao Nian’s attitude, she rolled her eyes in dismay and said, “Yao Nian is really shameless. He actually has the nerve to make requests with such an attitude!”
Yu Bing was in a good mood. Seeing that Yao Nian was furious, she felt as if the trauma she had suffered in her previous life had healed a little, but only a little.
Yao Nian pursed his lips and walked out of the small courtyard towards the dormitory.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had suffered a loss. When Yao Nian thought of Yu Bing’s attitude towards him, he felt that he couldn’t let this matter rest!
Over the past few days, he had helped Yu Bing carry water and chop firewood, but she was actually unwilling to give him one of the two spots.
No! He couldn’t suffer this loss!
He had to think of a way to get Yu Bing’s position as soon as possible to prevent any mishaps!
Before Yao Nian could think of a way, the candidates for the apprentices were confirmed.
At dinner, everyone heard the announcement of the candidates for the tow truck driver positions.
One was Director Zhao’s son, Wang Tao, and the other was Wu Qing, a famously poor man in the village. Both of them were in their early twenties and were very muscular bachelors.
When Yao Nian heard this, his eyes flickered and his hand paused.

In the main kitchen, the other young people discussed when they heard this.
When Yao Nian’s roommate, Feng Cai, heard this, he looked at Yao Nian and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you sign up for the apprenticeship last night? Yu Bing is your fiancée. The village will definitely approve Yu Bing’s selection.”
Yao Nian knew that the other party wanted to mock him. He couldn’t let anyone know that he had looked for Yu Bing but didn’t get a spot. He would be laughed at!
