The others saw the two and began stuffing them into their arms.

The captain's face was ashen. He roared, "Stop it, all of you! If you keep sneaking around like this, you're all going home! You'll all get your share of fish!"

The women immediately became much more obedient after being scolded by the brigade leader.

Those who weren't greedy for cheap fish would pick up the small ones, and even if they did, the captain wouldn't say anything.

As long as it's not too much and people can't stand it, the brigade leader will pretend not to see it.

After all, we can only eat meat during the Chinese New Year, and life has been too hard all year round!

Yun Ningyan watched from the side, not wanting to go down at all; she could smell the fishy odor from here.

Moreover, those who participate in the big fish get a larger share, so she had no desire to go down.

However, Huo Changlan and her two daughters, who arrived later, saw the commotion in the lake and all took their baskets and went down into the lake.

Yao Qingqing looked at Yun Ningyan sitting there, and anyone who didn't know better would think she was the supervisor!

She pursed her lips and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark: "Some people are just too lazy. They're out there having fun and don't even bother to bring back some fish for their families. They're just incredibly lazy!"

Yun Ningyan turned her head and looked at her with a smile, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery, as if to say: How dare you say that? You are eating other people's food and living in other people's houses, how dare you talk about other people?

Seeing that Yun Ningyan didn't speak, Yao Qingqing assumed that Yun Ningyan was afraid of her after the last time, since she had won last time.

Her second uncle always protected them, and no one could drive them away.

She said smugly, "Am I wrong? You've always been a lazy person who likes to eat and do nothing. No wonder you were able to marry my third brother. I think you only married him because he can work and support you!"

"Everyone else is going down to collect fish, why aren't you going? Be careful, you'll tell my second uncle!"

Yun Ningyan was so angry she laughed!

"Go ahead and complain! I'm not going, what can you do about it? Mind your own business!"

Yao Qingqing turned pale with anger. How dare they call her a dog?

She was furious and raised her hand to hit Yun Ningyan!

Yun Ningyan deliberately provoked her, and Huo Changlan had already walked into the lake.

No one can help her; she wanted to slap that foul mouth of hers yesterday.

She's bothering me again today, I don't care who she is!

Let's fight first and talk later!

It's so annoying every day!

She reached out and grabbed Yao Qingqing's arm, teasingly saying, "What? You want to hit me? Let's see if you have the guts!"

Yun Ningyan ran off as soon as she finished speaking.

Yao Qingqing realized that Yun Ningyan was probably scared, otherwise why would she run away?

Without saying a word, she chased after him.

Yun Ningyan only stopped when she felt that the people in the lake could no longer see them.

Yao Qingqing sneered, "As the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, I don't believe you're not afraid of your father-in-law. I'll go back and tell my second uncle!"

Yun Ningyan had somehow acquired a stick in her hand.

She grabbed Yao Qingqing's hand that was pointing at her and pulled Yao Qingqing down to the ground with a forceful tug.

He tied Yao Qingqing's hands behind her back with both hands.

She kicked him, and Yao Qingqing shouted, "You bitch, what do you think you're doing!"

She stuffed a cloth into her mouth, and she couldn't make a sound.

He raised the stick and hit Yao Qingqing hard on the buttocks.

Not satisfied with just a few spanks, she turned Yao Qingqing over. Yao Qingqing looked at her in horror and shook her head repeatedly.

Muttering something incoherently, Yun Ningyan deliberately said, "What? You still want to complain? Then I might as well just beat you to death! That way you won't waste the Huo family's food!"

Immediately afterwards, one loud slap after another landed on Yao Qingqing's face.

She held a shoe sole in each hand and started hitting with both hands simultaneously.

Yao Qingqing's face swelled up so much in no time that she was unrecognizable.

Yun Ningyan rode on her back, and soon she herself was getting a little tired.

Yao Qingqing's legs were still kicking, so she took out another rope and tied her feet together as well.

Tears streamed down Yao Qingqing's face. This woman was terrifying!

She actually wanted to kill herself.

She even tied her own feet up. What was she going to do?

What is Yun Ningyan going to do?

She didn't want to die!

She made frantic whimpering sounds, but no one paid any attention to her.

She was far from the lake, and the lake was filled with the clamor of people; no one could hear her cries for help.

Yun Ningyan pointed fiercely at her forehead: "Although I can't get rid of you in the Huo family, I have a hundred ways to punish you! If you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, I'll make sure you don't live past tomorrow!"

Her eyes were icy cold, and her voice was equally chilling.

Looking into Yao Qingqing's eyes, which seemed like the eyes of a demon, made Yao Qingqing realize for the first time how ruthless Yun Ningyan was.

She trembled all over, barely able to cry, nodding desperately while muttering pleas for mercy.

Yun Ningyan untied her hands and feet, and finally patted her face: "If you dare to say a wrong word, you know the consequences!"

Yao Qingqing nodded.

Yun Ningyan completely let go of her. As soon as she did, Yao Qingqing opened her mouth to call out to Huo Changlan.

Yun Ningyan took out a stick again and beat her up.

This time she really behaved herself.

Yun Ningyan let go of her, and Yao Qingqing limped home.

Yun Ningyan continued to sit on the stool and look at the people below.

She didn't believe Yao Qingqing could really change; if she could, even a dog would eat shit.

She sat there as if nothing was wrong, but her mind was actually preoccupied with the matter of Huo Changlan and her two daughters.

Huo Junshan would turn his head to look at her from time to time.

Seeing that she was sitting there obediently, he felt much more at ease.

Let's not let her come tomorrow, it's still too cold!

Yao Qingqing limped back to the Huo family.

Wang Cuihong came out to check when she heard the noise, thinking that all those people had returned.

To her surprise, a person with a swollen face was standing in the yard, and the clothes looked like Yao Qingqing's.

She asked tentatively, "Are you Qingqing?"

Yao Qingqing nodded: "Big Shot, it's me!"

Her face was swollen, and she was having trouble speaking. Wang Cuihong asked again, "What happened to you?"

What Wang Cuihong really wanted to ask was, "Who hit you?"

Yao Qingqing shook her head: "I just tripped and fell, but I'm fine! I'm going back inside."

She ultimately didn't have the courage to tell anyone that Yun Ningyan had hit her.

This is absolutely shameful.

Besides, Yun Ningyan was too terrifying today; she almost beat her to death.

She dared not gamble; if Yun Ningyan really intended to kill her, wouldn't she be at a huge loss?

Let's put this matter behind us for now, and find another opportunity to deal with Yun Ningyan later.

But she couldn't let this beating go unpunished, otherwise it would just benefit Yun Ningyan.

I heard that Yun Ningyan didn't get along with the other people at the educated youth settlement, so she made up her mind to make good use of those self-righteous city folks.

Since she can't handle it, let someone else handle it.

Alone in the house, a series of wicked plans gradually took shape in her mind.
