"Yeah, I found it."

Li Chunfang's face was filled with excitement, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "How did you find it? Where did you find it? Are Zhao Chunxing and the child back?"

Three follow-up questions!

"They were found in Lin County. I don't know if they came back."

"How could we not know? Qin Zhiqing, please tell us about it. Everyone is worried about it." Li Chunfang pulled everyone together.

Qin An Ning looked up and saw that all the eyes were staring at her, waiting for gossip.

After rubbing for a while, the palms of my hands turned red and felt a little painful.

Qin An Ning was also happy to be lazy for a while, so he just said a few words.

"We found a clue in the county and learned that the man was from Lin County, and then reported it to Director Yao.

After Director Yao confirmed the accuracy of the information, we then pursued him to Lin County..."

"Oh, that must have been a tough trip for you guys."

Li Chunfang slapped her thigh and said, "If I were to ask you, Old Lady Zhang, a warning would be the least of her problems. He's still Zhang Dashan's son, after all. How could they be so cruel as to sell him off?"

"What's going on? Has Old Mrs. Zhang been taught a lesson?" Qin An Ning didn't have time to pay attention to the Zhang family's affairs, so he really didn't know.

Wang Qiufen took over the conversation, "That's not a big deal. During the Great Famine in our country, no family ever sold their children. This is something that only Old Lady Zhang can do.

Not to mention the commune, even our brigade cannot tolerate such things. This is a serious ideological problem and must be educated."

Qin An Ning became interested and asked, "How did you deal with it?"

"Well, the only thing the village could do was punish her by making her do a self-criticism, carry manure, or deduct her work points.

Illegal activities are under the jurisdiction of the police, but that loser Zhang Dashan said he would not pursue the matter, so the police can do nothing about it."

Wang Qiufen curled her lips after saying this, obviously looking down on Zhang Dashan.

Qin Anning felt like her worldview was shattered. "Even a clay man can still be angry. Zhang Dashan's son has been sold out, and he can still act like nothing happened?

This is what happened. What if I can’t find it?”

After she finished speaking, she finally realized that it was true. Zhang Dashan listened to his stepmother and earned work points instead of looking for the child. What else could she expect from him?

She is not as good as Zhao Chunxing. Although she is stupid and selfish, at least she did not abandon her child.

Li Chunfang loved gossip and knew a lot, so she started chattering, "Qin Zhiqing, you don't know, but Mrs. Zhang's stepmother is very powerful.

When she first got married, Zhang Dashan was only five or six years old. He had to sweep the floor, feed the chickens, and wash clothes. He had to do all kinds of work, and if he didn't obey, he wouldn't be given any food.

No matter when, if you make a mistake, you will be kicked out.

Once it rained heavily in the fall and it rained outside for more than an hour.

Later, no one cared about his fever. It was only when his neighbor couldn't bear it that he rubbed his body with alcohol at home that his fever came down. Otherwise, we might not be in this situation now.

But the neighbor couldn't take care of him all the time, so he told him to be obedient so that he would suffer less.

Who would have thought that Zhang Dashan would listen to Old Lady Zhang in everything and had no ideas of his own.

He has been controlled by his stepmother since he was a child. How is it possible for him to stand up now?

Not to mention him, even Old Man Zhang has to listen to Old Lady Zhang."

Isn’t this just a yes-man?

Where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. Although his experience is quite pitiful, she really can't sympathize with him.

The rubbed corn cobs are put into earthen baskets. When the baskets are full, they are carried to a distant place and poured together, and finally distributed to each family for burning.

Li Chunfang was quite gossipy, but it didn't let it interfere with her work. In a short while, the basket was already full of corn cobs.

Qin An Ning looked at his basket. The corn cobs had just covered the bottom of the basket, and he felt a little embarrassed.

She really didn't dare to do this kind of purely manual labor.

Technology changes our lives, but large machinery is not yet popular. Are there any small agricultural machinery that can improve productivity?

Qin An Ning was thinking about something when he heard a noise in the distance.

She is not the type of person who likes to join in the fun, but she can't stand Wu Yanli being by her side.

This guy didn't want to work in the first place, and it was a good opportunity to join in the fun, so how could she be left out?

"Let's go, let's go and watch the fun." She held Meng Yu with her left hand and Qin An Ning with her right hand.

There were already quite a few people gathered around the pile of corn cobs.

The one who was quarreling was Li Chunfang.

She put one hand on her waist and pointed at a stronger woman with the other, cursing loudly.

"Wu Dani, don't be ungrateful. Qin Zhiqing gave up his work points to help your family find your child. Who wouldn't say he was kind and righteous?

If Qin Zhiqing hadn't found the child, your family would have made a big mistake. Then it wouldn't just be a matter of having your work points deducted for carrying manure.

What a bunch of ungrateful people, they don't know how to thank others and gossip behind their backs, not even afraid of getting their tongues rotten.

Your family wants Zhang Dashan to do heavy work for you for the rest of his life, but you sell his son off. Isn't that a loss?"

Wu Dani was not to be outdone, "Bah, my father-in-law hasn't said anything about our family affairs yet, who does she think she is?

Apparently she went to look for the child? It's like a dog chasing a rat and meddling in other people's business."

If that little Bei hadn't been so nosy and found the child, her son would have been adopted by Zhang Dashan.

What if the villagers grumbled behind her back? In the end, all the benefits would be reaped by her family.

"Dani, what you said is wrong. You can't sell your child no matter what."

"That's right. We've never had anything like this happen in our village. If Qin Zhiqing hadn't found the child, our village would have become a laughing stock in the surrounding area."

"I don't really like educated youth, but since Qin Zhiqing helped me find my child, I'll give her this." The man said with a thumbs up.
