“Yes, Wei Lao Er, you take your wife back first. We have other things to take care of here,” the others in the brigade headquarters said.

Wei Baichuan pretended to be clueless, looking at the complicated expressions on the faces of the Wei family members. Everyone assumed that they couldn't let go of their loved ones.

They pushed and shoved people out of the way, not giving them a chance to speak at all.

Wei Baichuan also cooperated with the team members and led Su out of the brigade headquarters.

"Wife, we..." Wei Baichuan was truly bewildered. They hadn't done anything, yet they had severed ties like this?

He thought his wife's threat to sever ties would definitely cause a huge scene, and he was prepared to protect her at any time.

Unexpectedly, the matter was resolved so easily, and it was even the captain who took the initiative to suggest it. If he hadn't been there, he would have thought they had lost their minds.

“We have no further connection with the Wei family.” Su Ti looked at the certificate of severance of ties in his hand, which stated that all ties with the Wei family would be severed from now on.

He no longer has any connection with Wei Changgen or Huang Cuifen; Wei Baichuan is now truly severed from the Wei family.

It was the brigade leader who took the initiative to handle it. From now on, no matter how much trouble the Wei family causes, no one will side with them anymore.

At least she'll be quite comfortable here for the next two or three years. As for the Wei family, Wei Changgen is in jail, and Huang Cuifen is still in bed.

The remaining few are still jumping around, but it'll be over soon. Isn't Su Nianyou going to the cowshed now?

She didn't want Su Nianyou to wake up too soon; she and Wei Baidao needed to lock themselves in tightly, after all, she was pregnant.

"Honey, why are the people from the disciplinary office being so easy to talk to this time?" Wei Baichuan had seen those people wearing red armbands before.

They smash and destroy everything they see. Given Su Nianyou's provocative nature, shouldn't they just find a reason to lock her up?

Why did they send the person back? Although their attitude was still arrogant, this doesn't seem like the way the disciplinary office operates.

"Maybe it's because of my father." Suti knew in her heart that the people her father knew wouldn't be ordinary people.

If someone can get the disciplinary committee to obey, then this person is definitely worth the risk her father would take.

She didn't know what her father had done, but based on her understanding of him, he certainly wouldn't send someone over openly.

Wei Changgen was arrested by accident, and no one would think much of it. Su Nianyou would have been arrested too if she had just said a few words.

When those with ulterior motives inquired, they found that no one who offended her had a good ending. Wasn't this just openly making people suspicious and want to investigate?

"I knew it." Wei Baichuan nodded, and then everything made sense.

They didn't care about what happened next. The captain was a smart man. No matter how much Su Nianyou acted up, she was going to the cowshed in the end.

In order to give the disciplinary committee an explanation, he repeatedly assured them that he would keep a close eye on people in the future, and the disciplinary committee members left with their dissatisfaction.

Su Nianyou has offended the entire brigade this time, and she and the Wei family will find it difficult to move an inch in the brigade from now on.

That's not enough. Next, they should be kicked out of the group and all their hopes for life should be destroyed.

"Wife, are you going to go to another brigade tomorrow, or will you rest at home for a couple of days?" Wei Baichuan thought that things would definitely be busy at the beginning.

It will probably take until we've visited all these brigades before we can relax. There are over a hundred brigades; this is a huge undertaking.

"I'll rest at home tomorrow and go the day after." Suti doesn't fight unprepared battles; she still needs to prepare her materials properly.

It's impossible for every brigade to draw the same thing.

"Okay, the brigade is probably going to start arranging the autumn harvest in the next couple of days. I saw that they've started sharpening the knives at the brigade headquarters."

Wei Baichuan thought that if he went to a brigade, they would be busy with the autumn harvest and probably wouldn't have time to take care of them.

Suti was thinking that if it was harvest time, they would have to go further away. The closer ones would take most of the morning, and the farther ones would be back in the afternoon, which would make sense.

Her recent behavior probably makes the captain uneasy about her going out alone, and they won't say anything if Wei Baichuan wastes time.

"Next time I want to try a bigger brigade, I'll save the closer ones for later." Suti didn't explicitly say he was slacking off, but that would be leading others astray!

“Okay, the one that’s the furthest from our brigade is Luzha Brigade. That brigade is known for being very wealthy.”

“The soil in their brigade is quite special, so they planted a lot of cotton. Because it is scarce, it is valuable. After paying the public accounts, they can still get a lot of money at the end of the year.”

“Cotton is expensive in the commune. The production team can sell the cotton they receive each year back to the commune and exchange it for a lot of grain. Compared to doing hard work in the fields, picking cotton is cleaner.”

"They're the envy of everyone in the brigades under the commune," Wei Baichuan said, explaining the situation to Su Ti as he thought of something.

"How do you know so much?" Su Ti was still thinking that it wouldn't be good for her to take Wei Baichuan to slack off on the day of the autumn harvest.

She suggested working for one day first, then finding an excuse that the higher-ups were pressing them too hard. She felt they were living too carefree while the other team members were working themselves to the bone, and that finding the right balance was a big problem. She didn't want to challenge human nature.

"My eldest sister married into that production brigade." Wei Baichuan didn't know how to describe the Wei family.

After cutting ties, do I still need to call him "father" and "mother"? If I run into him again, can't I just pretend I don't see him?

He can't tell the difference between his wife's acting and his own, but he can't; at most, he can just keep a blank expression.

"You two don't get along?" Su Ti thought of her past life, when she hadn't kept in touch with her older sisters-in-law much.

They didn't get along well with Su Nianyou, and Wei Baidao didn't help them out after he became successful.

"I didn't have any close friends in the Wei family." When they were little, their older sisters would take care of them, but they would only do things according to the adults' wishes.

At first, they might have been treated fairly, but since his parents didn't like him, they didn't dare to provoke the adults.

It's also possible that he's just naturally unlikable. If he had a conflict with Wei Baide, several of them would gang up on him and Wei Baide.

If Wei Baidao bullies them, they will only help Wei Baidao, because their parents will praise them that way.

Later, they got married, and apart from the New Year, he rarely saw them throughout the year. He almost forgot about them.

"She bullied you?" Su Ti was furious when she heard Wei Baichuan's words. She wouldn't allow anyone to bully her man.

"No, they didn't get away with it." When they were kids, whenever they openly bullied him, he would secretly retaliate.

They caught toads and stuffed them into their bedding, framing Wei Baidao. This terrified them, and they started crying and fighting with Wei Baidao. In the end, Huang Cuifen beat them up.

While they were crying, Wei Baidao laughed heartily. At that moment, he thought they were all fools.

"Such a big thing happened to the Wei family, the commune knows about it, and your bad sisters should have heard about it too."

"We haven't seen them yet. Either they're selfish and don't want to get involved, or they're willing but unable. Their in-laws are formidable."

“Once the Wei family falls, they will definitely not have a good life. Their reputation alone will be enough to make them suffer.”

After all, they had a father who was imprisoned in the disciplinary office for speculation and profiteering.
