"A bunch of pigs."
Ouyang Meihua sneered, "Director was already in the late stages of cancer. Instead of waiting to die, he had to try all sorts of strange remedies. He deserves it."
"You and your captain master are also foolish. The director was afraid of death, so he believed Zhao Xiaofang's words. You actually believed them too."
The man explained, "But we had the hospital examine Zhao Xiaofang. Her body is very healthy, unlike a woman who has given birth to two children."
"Foolish!" Ouyang Meihua glared at the man, hating his lack of progress. "The healthier she is, the more it proves her words are problematic. How can a woman who has given birth to two children be healthy? I don't know where she got it from..."
"Her good health is as it should be."
Dama interrupted Ouyang Meihua, "Her mother-in-law often made things difficult for her, but my father and I always protected her." Su Dan Novel Network.
"Coincidentally, every time she was in trouble, it was just when my father and I were about to go to the fields. My father, feeling sorry for her, would let her rest at the edge of the field and do all the work himself with me."
"After being rescued from Grandma's house by my cousin, she had brown sugar and millet porridge with steamed buns every morning and evening, and a bowl of chicken soup at noon."
"After she was able to get out of bed, she still didn't do anything. My father and I served her comfortably. She didn't help with building the house either. After we moved into the new house, I forced her to cook, and I did the washing and chopping of vegetables."
"She envied my cousin, she wanted to be like my cousin, she wanted to snatch my cousin's position. Then, she lost everything."
Ouyang Meihua glared at the man, "Are you done asking?"
"Done, done."
Even if he wasn't done, he had to pretend he was, or his senior sister would start hitting him...
"The people in the next room, can they leave now?"
"Uh, yes, they can leave."
The man thought he had escaped, but didn't expect his senior sister to have more to say.
"When you go back, tell Ouyang Lei what you did today. See what he says. I advise you not to harbor any侥幸, or you'll die a terrible death."
The man, still confused, left with the woman.
Ouyang Meihua was faster than Li Zhengguo. She rushed into the next room and linked arms with Tian Jing, "I'm sorry, that person is my uncle's disciple and subordinate."
"It's okay. However, you should have the family of that Director sue Zhao Xiaofang."
Ouyang Meihua looked at Dama beside her.
Dama shook her head, "She has nothing to do with us anymore. If locking her up will bring peace, then it's better to lock her up."
Since Dama had no objections, Ouyang Meihua agreed.
Ouyang Lei brought a large amount of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar as gifts to report the news and apologize. Tian Daxia hadn't been out of the village for a long time, and while she had grains and meat, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar were still in short supply.
Tian Jing felt again that Ouyang Lei could run a black market in the county not only because of his strength and connections but also because of his perceptiveness.
Ouyang Lei told Tian Jing that the Director had passed away, and his family sued Zhao Xiaofang for intentional homicide. Zhao Xiaofang was sentenced to fifteen years.
Zhao Xiaofang disagreed and appealed, but it was rejected.
"Sister, I didn't keep a good watch, and I actually let my senior brother disturb Sister. Don't worry, I've already taught him a good lesson, and all the information related to Sister has been cleared."
After saying this, Ouyang Lei looked around as if he were a thief and whispered, "Was Zhao Xiaofang really saved by you?"
Tian Jing looked at him with a half-smile, "Do I look like someone who knows medicine?"
"No."
Ouyang Lei shook his head, "But, Sister can find good things."
Li Zhengguo pushed him away, "Go do what you need to do. You martial artists train your bodies and make your brains dumb."
Ouyang Lei, who was pushed away, felt indignant. If it weren't for Sister's sake, he would have beaten Li Zhengguo to the point of being unable to take care of himself.
"Li Zhengguo, what did you do in the middle? Do you think I don't know?"
Li Zhengguo was indifferent, "So what if you know? Do you want to complain? Ungrateful people deserve this fate. Who told her to take the bait?"
"Hurry up and tell your uncle to take over this opportunity. Advise him to be steady and gentle, and to climb as high as he can. He will thank me in the future."
Ouyang Lei heard this and ran out immediately, "My foolish uncle said he can't take over and wants to give it to someone else."
Tian Jing looked at the courtyard gate, "Did you add something to that liquid?"
Li Zhengguo held Tian Tian's hand, "That director had done almost all sorts of evil deeds. Many people clapped their hands and said his cancer was retribution."
"But he was still plundering precious medicinal materials everywhere. He got one of your two ginsengs, and his condition improved slightly."
"He spread rumors everywhere, looking for this kind of ginseng. I couldn't let him live on. It just so happened that Zhao Xiaofang wanted to climb the social ladder. I had people tamper with the liquid in her hand."
Tian Jing clasped his hand back, "I'm sorry, I was too hasty at the time, and it made you stained with blood."
Li Zhengguo took out a hand and pinched her nose, "What are you thinking? My hands are already stained. People like that don't need to live. Hundreds of people were persecuted to death by him."
Alright! That director deserved to die. Brother Zheng was acting on behalf of heaven.
...
The village began to harvest corn.
Li Zhengguo forbade Tian Jing from doing any work, making her just watch from the side of the field.
In the afternoon, Captain Ou and Secretary Yang accompanied Secretary Ji.
Accompanying Secretary Ji were people from the commune's grain station. Because the wheat harvest was good, and the designated wheat seeds were of very good quality, Secretary Ji immediately brought people from the grain station and weighing scales when he heard that Kushan was harvesting corn.
He wanted to personally participate in the joy of this harvest and at the same time let the grain station see the changes in Kushan, and also help promote it for free.
Li's two acres of land, except for some of the tender ones, yielded 1,300 jin of wet corn, which was designated as Grade 1 seeds.
Tian Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was Grade 1. If she got a Special Grade, it would be too eye-catching.
"Secretary Ji, just take it away directly. Once you've designated the grade, we'll have to divide our attention to guard it, which is too troublesome."
This request was exactly what Secretary Li Ji wanted. The grain station had brought a large truck.
"Then, deduct twenty percent for moisture and fifteen percent for the corn cobs."
Deducting her family's corn cobs, calculated at fifteen percent, was almost the same.
"Okay, we trust the secretary."
Captain Ou had people drive the donkey cart to take away Li's corn.
Secretary Ji's next stop was the Wang and Niu families. Their corn was also taken away.
Sister-in-law Niu came to find Tian Jing, "Tian Jing, my mother-in-law says she wants to divide the family after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"What about the land? Your mother-in-law calculated the adoption quota at the time. If she doesn't live with you with the land, you need to make it clear that she'll be living off you from now on."
"If anything happens to the land over there, you won't be responsible. If the team reclaims their land, it will be deducted from that."
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. I'll go back and tell Da Niu's father." Sister-in-law Niu didn't even sit for long before she ran off again.
Li Min "..." Her sister-in-law was a master of sowing discord.
The corn stalks were brought home, and Tian Jing gnawed on them like sugarcane again.
Dama and Xiaomai also came to nibble on them, "So sweet."
"If it's sweet, nibble more. Once it's dry, it'll just be firewood."
After the corn and wheat fields were plowed, the sweet potatoes could be harvested.
The village's loudspeaker sounded, encouraging members to cut and dry the sweet potato leaves for storage, and also to store the husked corn cobs.
Next spring, the commune would bring a large batch of piglets to the Kushan production team, striving to build Kushan into the first production team of the Zhonghe Brigade.
This last sentence stirred up the enthusiasm of the members.
The first production team? They had never dared to think about it before, but now it was entirely possible.
Because after harvesting two batches of crops, the per-mu yield of wheat exceeded two hundred and fifty jin, and the per-mu yield of corn exceeded six hundred jin.
Therefore, the members looked forward to the sweet potato field, hoping that if the sweet potatoes exceeded one thousand five hundred jin, their household's grain reserves would be enough to last until next summer harvest without having to borrow grain from the production team.
