"Why, Shichu, you don't believe me?

To tell you the truth, that old man surnamed Yin can only boast for one night. When my father comes to power, he will send him to the northwest for forced labor.

Now, Li Guolin has become a disabled person, so I will break off all ties with him.

Then we can be together legitimately and we won’t have to hide in the haystack anymore.”

When Li Yuemin heard the words "Mengyao" and "Shichu", he realized that it was Song Mengyao and Xia Shichu, the biological father of the child in her belly, who were having sex in the straw stack.

He hated to pry into other people's privacy, let alone such matters between men and women. But when he heard them mention Song Rensong, he had to be more vigilant.

He quietly approached the haystack, held his breath, and listened with his ears pricked up.

Then I heard Xia Shichu say:

"Mengyao, now is not the right time. You know, my father and your father are sworn enemies. How could they possibly agree to our marriage?"

"What about the son in my belly?"

...

...

"Let Li Guolin, that bastard, take care of you first. He doesn't know that you're carrying my child anyway."

"Xia Shichu, you are really cruel. I've already told you that Li Guolin's body has been crippled by that bastard Li Yuemin. Are you going to let me be a widow for the rest of my life?"

"Oh, Mengyao, don't say that. I came to make it up to you as soon as I got the news. Come on, let me cherish you some more."

"No, how many times have you done this? If you keep doing this, you'll kill the baby in my belly."

Li Yuemin felt that this was meaningless and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Xia Shichu say:

"Well, it's a bummer, but for my son's sake, I'll just bear with it.

Mengyao, you just said that your father is going to take power again. Tell me how he turned the tide against all odds. "

"I can tell you, Shichu, but you can't tell anyone else, especially your father."

"Don't worry, my father never likes me, I'm too lazy to bother with him."

"You know that the higher-ups once asked the Southwest Military Region for a map of the gold mines, right?"

"Well, I have heard a little about this. But it is said that the old man surnamed Yin has not been found. The superiors are very dissatisfied with him for this.

Could it be that your father has this picture?"

"My father did have a picture, but it was a fake picture."

"What? Mengyao? Is your father crazy? He even dares to fool the higher-ups. If this is discovered, won't he be brought to a military court?"

"Xia Shichu, you only have a pretty face, but your brain is not as good as Li Guolin's. He was the one who suggested this trick to my father.

Think about it, if the higher-ups knew the location of the gold mine, why would they need the Southwest Military Region to look for it? That proves that they didn't know.

Li Guolin told my father that he wanted to find a fake one first and then slowly find the real one after he defeated the Yin.

Once you find the real thing, no one will care if you were fake before."

"Great, I didn't expect Li Guolin, with his round face, to have such a smart brain.

Hey, that's not right, Mengyao, your father has been sent to the Northwest for labor reform for several years. Now the Southwest Military Region is ruled by the surname Yin. He is the commander-in-chief alone, and he will be punished if he returns."

Song Mengyao poked Xia Shichu's head with her finger:

"You idiot, the Southwest Military Region is so big, can you guarantee that all of them are named Yin?"

"Mengyao, do you mean to say that besides Xinglong, there is someone else around Yin who belongs to your father? I really want to know who that person is?"

"Shichu, it's not that I don't want to tell you, I just don't know this either.

It's too late. If I don't go back, Li Guolin's mother will search the whole world for me."

"Mengyao, we have a rare opportunity, let me have some fun again..."

Then, a groaning sound came from the haystack.

Seeing that there was no big news, Li Yuemin was about to tiptoe away from the haystack when he saw a beam of flashlight shining towards him.

He was so scared that he quickly squatted down and picked up a bundle of straw to cover his body.

"Xiaoyan, I told you there's no one here. Don't worry, it's warm in the straw stack and you won't get cold."

When Li Yuemin heard this, he realized that it was another pair of educated youth coming to tease him. He was so scared that he kept muttering in his heart:

"Don't come this way. If you are discovered, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you have a thousand mouths."

"Yuan Chen, let's get in from here, why don't you come over and help me."

Unexpectedly, what he feared would come true. The girl named Xiaoyan actually reached out to pull the straw off Li Yuemin's head.

"Xiaoyan, the straw here is too short to play comfortably. Dig a little deeper so we can have more fun."

When Xiaoyan heard this, she put down her hands that were pulling the straw, and Li Yuemin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to stand up, he heard a cry of "Oh my God" from behind him. It turned out that Yuan Chen was digging a hole and happened to dig to the place where Xia Shichu and Song Mengyao were staying.

"You, you guys, Xia Shichu, Song Mengyao!"

"Yao Xiaoyan, Yuan Chen!"

"Brother, don't tell anyone, we will make room for you right away."

Xia Shichu said as he put on his clothes.

"I understand, I understand. It's hard to be frustrated. Thanks for helping me!"

Yuan Chen blew a whistle.

Li Yuemin saw that he didn't leave at this time, so he bent his body and left quickly.

In the end, Yuan Chen heard the noise and immediately turned around to take a look with his flashlight and asked:

"Who? Who's there?"

Li Yuemin cleverly hid behind a big tree and imitated the calls of a night owl.

"What a useless bird in the weeds, why are you crying for no reason?"

After saying that, he threw a stone over, and a few birds really flew out from the tree.

Li Yuemin couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he was not discovered. When there was no movement, he ran back as fast as he could.

When he got home, he saw Chief Yin sitting cross-legged on the warm kang, learning to roll a pipe from Zhang Wanshan.

Seeing Li Yuemin push the door open, he looked up and asked:

"Yuemin, is there news so soon?"

Li Yuemin excitedly went to sit next to Chief Yin:

"Godfather, good news, great news."

When Chief Yin saw Li Yuemin's excited expression, he stopped rolling his cigarette and asked hurriedly:

"Tell me quickly, what's the good news?"

"Godfather, the gold mine distribution map reported by Song Rensong is fake."

"Fake? Yuemin, how did you get such secret information? Is it credible?"

"Godfather, I told you not to laugh at me."

"Son-in-law, why is your godfather laughing at you? Did you hear this news from behind the window of Song Mengyao's house?"

Zhang Wanshan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Father-in-law, don't interrupt me, let me talk to my godfather."

Li Yuemin waved at Zhang Wanshan and asked Chief Yin:

"Godfather, Xia Shichu, you know, right?"

"Xia Shichu? Let me think, why does this name sound so familiar?

Oh, I remember now, you mean Xia Laogui's son. As far as I know, he is an educated youth in your village. Did he tell you?"

"That's not the case. Just now he and Song Rensong's daughter Song Mengyao were hiding in the haystack, and I happened to run into them.

By some strange coincidence, I overheard this important news."

"What? Brother Yuemin, you actually went to listen to Song Mengyao and someone else's **? Tell me, are you interested in her and have been following her?"

Unexpectedly, just when Li Yuemin was feeling proud, Chuntao suddenly came out from the inner room, twisted Li Yuemin's ear and questioned him harshly.
