Chapter 127 The Search Team Arrives

Jin Yuyan stood on the only road outsiders could take to Dahe Village. She kept peeking out and looking around, and she started to get anxious. Why hadn't the search team arrived yet?

Yesterday, she submitted the complaint to the county government a little later than usual, and the county government officials said they would come to search the area the next day.

Then she arrived at the entrance of Dahe Village early in the morning. She wouldn't want to miss the Shen family's good show.

The Shen family was sent to the countryside, and if it weren't for the care of the brigade leader's family, they wouldn't have been living such an easy life.

Ever since her divorce from Shen Ziming, she has never wanted to see the Shen family living well.

Soon, Jin Yuyan saw a group of people walking towards her from not far away. When she saw the armbands on their arms, Jin Yuyan's face lit up with joy.

They are members of the search team.

It was the time when villagers were finishing their work in the fields and heading home for lunch. The sight of the search team made them very nervous.

They had often seen people being arrested before, and they had witnessed the criticism those people were subjected to.

The search team members saw a passing villager and asked, "Where do the people who were sent to the countryside live?"

The villager was so nervous that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Just then, a figure walked up to the search team. "Comrade, I know where the family that was sent down lives. I'll lead the way for you."

The search team members glanced at her indifferently, then nodded.

Jin Yuyan led the search team straight to the cowshed where the Shen family lived.

Jiang Ning was unaware that the Shen family had been reported.

With several people helping with the cooking, Jiang Ning had a particularly easy time preparing this meal.

She quickly prepared ten dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat. During the Chinese New Year, she prepared a table full of dishes, and the whole family enjoyed a lively meal together. It was incredibly joyful.

However, even in moments of joy, there's always someone who comes along to break the liveliness and tranquility.

A strong wind was blowing outside, so after cooking the dishes, the Shen family closed the front door.

The meal was only halfway through when there was a knock on the door.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

"Open the door, the search team is checking!" The voice outside was very loud.

Upon hearing the words "search team," Shen's parents' expressions immediately changed.

Back then, it was the search team that came to search their house, and shortly afterward, the Shen family was demoted to a lower-level position.

"What are you dawdling about in there? Open the door!" The voice outside was quite loud and gradually became impatient.

Jiang Ning was about to open the door, but Shen's mother stopped her, and Shen's father opened the door instead.

The moment the door was opened, the person outside pushed the wooden door open with all their might, and the wooden door slammed against the wall with a loud 'bang'.

The head of the search team spoke as soon as he saw the people inside the house, "We received a report that you were demoted but still indulged in capitalist hedonism and evaded labor."

Upon hearing this, Shen's parents, Shen Ziming, and Shen Qianqian inside the house turned pale.

The search team entered the house and immediately smelled the delicious aroma. Their expressions instantly turned sour. Pointing to the dishes on the table, they said, "It seems we don't even need to search. The report has already been confirmed."

“Come with us.”

One of the search team members raised his hand, signaling the people behind him to take the people inside the house away.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Ning stood in front of the Shen family.

“I wasn’t sent down to the countryside. I’m here as a daughter-in-law of the Shen family to visit my parents-in-law. I also have a visitation permit.” Jiang Ning took out the visitation permit and handed it over.

However, the other party only glanced at it indifferently.

His expression changed when he saw the county government's seal on it.

His expression softened when he saw the period on the visitation permit.

“So what if it’s a visitation permit? I’m looking at the time on the visitation permit. You’ve been in this village for two months now. Visitation permits have an expiration date. They’ll be invalid after one month.”

In the corner of the kitchen, there was a large bag of rice and refined flour, and Liang Shanghai had several pieces of meat drying in the sun.

Anyway, most of the county government staff are off today, so there's no one to take care of the lower-level staff for the time being.

Moreover, the family that was reported was demoted and didn't deserve such good things.

"Ineffective?" Jiang Ning frowned.

When I obtained the visitation permit, no one mentioned that it was time-limited.

She felt a sense of helplessness at the backwardness of this era; if only she had a cell phone at hand.

“I’ll go with you,” Jiang Ning said. “I bought everything in the house; you can take me away.”

"No, all of you here must come with us." The other party was unwilling.

If they don't take everyone with them, they can't justifiably take all the good stuff in the house.

Jiang Ning looked up and saw that the person who was talking to her was looking towards the kitchen.

A guess formed in my mind.

The sudden arrival of the search team was also suspicious.

The Shen family was reported, but who reported them?

A figure flashed past outside the door.

Jiang Ning looked over.

Jin Yuyan!

In this village, the people who have the deepest grudges against the Shen family are Zhou Anze and Jin Yuyan.

Jin Yuyan's appearance makes it clear that she was responsible for the report against the Shen family.

Jiang Ning had no time to think about Jin Yuyan's matter; she needed to resolve the immediate crisis first. "I told you, everything in this house was bought by me and has nothing to do with the Shen family. You can take me with you, but you can't take them with you."

Annoyed by Jiang Ning's obstruction, the man who had spoken impatiently waved behind him, and two of his men immediately stepped forward and restrained Jiang Ning.

Upon seeing this, Chen's mother stepped forward without hesitation and slapped the people holding Jiang Ning, saying, "Let go of my daughter-in-law."

"You old hag, get out of my way!" The search team member waved his hand and shoved the person aside.

Mother Shen pressed on again, refusing to let it go.

The search team got annoyed by her and immediately tried to fight back.

Shen's father and Shen Ziming also looked grim, clenching their fists as they stepped forward to attack.

Jiang Ning didn't expect the other party to start a fight with Shen's mother.

She suddenly turned around and escaped from the other person's grasp, grabbing the hand that was about to fall on Shen's mother.

Without hesitation, she twisted the other person's arm forcefully, and the other person screamed in pain.

However, Jiang Ning underestimated the brute strength of these people. Even in pain, they didn't forget to shove her viciously. Jiang Ning was pushed backward and tripped on the threshold.

Just as she was about to fall, a figure rushed over quickly and nimbly caught Jiang Ning.

After Jiang Ning regained her balance, she saw who had helped her.

"Shen Mo, what brings you here?" Jiang Ning asked with delight, forgetting all her fear.

Shen Mo felt a wave of fear wash over him, his face darkened, and his cold eyes swept over everyone present.
