Chapter 200: You Yongsheng is pregnant??

"What are you dawdling for? If you keep delaying, your toes will rot and you won't have anyone else to blame!"

The brigade leader felt a surge of disgust and launched into a tirade against Zhao Xiaoyu's room door: "If you, Zhao Xiaoyu, hadn't been so bored as to report the Lin family, would this mess have come up? The Lin family brings orders to the village, teaches techniques, and generates revenue; they are truly capable and virtuous! But your family is different. Instead of helping out when you come back to the village, you do all sorts of despicable things, dragging the whole village down."

After saying that, he glared at Bi Yuntao and continued, "It's only because of the Lin family that they take revenge on the spot! If it were any other family—you would have to take turns standing guard at night! What you did today was not fair, causing the Lin family to suffer. Give them twenty yuan to compensate them, otherwise... I think you should leave this village."

The Lin family is the village's god of wealth! Orders for hair ornaments are scrambling, and even before the wild rabbits have started selling, orders are pouring in like snowflakes. People are almost fighting over the smoked rabbits.

He used to be the one squatting in the corner getting criticized during meetings, but now, haha, he's the one sitting in the middle getting offered cigarettes!

Anyone who touches the Lin family is like digging up the whole village's money jar, and he, as the brigade leader, would be the first to object.

Today's matter should start with the Bi family paying a price. If they continue to resort to underhanded tactics, then don't blame him for reporting it to higher authorities.

Bi Yuntao's face turned green from the scolding, but he remained silent, not daring to utter a word in reply. Offending the brigade leader would make his future inescapable, but more importantly—the director of the Revolutionary Committee had actually fallen! That man had powerful backers in the province; he had done his fair share of ransacking houses in the past, and who in the county dared to say a word against him? Yet, just because he went to the Lin family, he stumbled and fell, which showed that the Lin family's backers were even more powerful than his…

Thinking about this made him feel uneasy.

What right does Lin Baozhu have to play tricks on him like this? If she had shown even the slightest ability back then, he wouldn't have broken off the engagement. Her actions were clearly to protect herself.

"Brother Tao..."

Zhao Xiaoyu suddenly opened the door, her eyes red and on the verge of tears: "I'll go to the hospital with you. The hospital director is my mentor, it'll save us a lot of money..." As she spoke, her eyes swept over the villagers in the courtyard.

She's a nurse at the county hospital now, and also practically the director's apprentice. Anyone with a brain knows who to curry favor with, since who can guarantee they'll never get sick?

Of course, the most important thing is that she dares not be alone in the empty house. With the crazy state that the Lin family's two madwomen are in now, they really will skin her alive!

Bi Yuntao had just grasped her hand and was feigning deep affection when he said, "Marrying you is the greatest blessing I've ever received..." Before he could finish, he caught a glimpse of Lin Baozhu pulling her mother and pointing at the people on the oxcart...

Lin's mother exclaimed in surprise, "My God, she's really pregnant? She's at an age where she's already menopausal, right? How could she get pregnant like that? That person is amazing!"

Lin Baozhu counted on her fingers and said, "The bandit leader Black Scarface? Old bachelor Zuo Shuanzi from the east end of the village, there are more than a dozen men in total, tsk tsk, I just don't know who the father of this bastard is. Now that those bandits have been shot, this child can probably only be blamed on Zuo Shuanzi, but Zuo Shuanzi is still being reformed on the farm..." Her winking and gesturing made Bi Yuntao's blood vessels throb with hatred.

"Lin Baozhu, stop talking nonsense!" He was furious, wishing he could tear the other person apart.

"Whether you're pregnant or not, you can find out by going to the hospital for an ultrasound."

Lin Baozhu put her hands on her hips and laughed even harder: "My son and his new wife haven't even warmed their bed yet, and my belly is already bulging! A bandit's son? The offspring of an old bachelor? Tsk, an old clam carrying a pearl—this drama of yours is more exciting than the county opera troupe's."

"What?! You Yongsheng is pregnant? How old is she?"

"Oh my, I never would have guessed. I heard she was attacked by several bandits in the mountains... Could the baby in her belly be a bandit's child? Is she hiding this because she wants to give birth to a bandit's child?"

"I knew that old bastard You Yongsheng was a lecher. He told everyone he was raped by bandits, but the experience must have been incredibly pleasurable!"

The captain's eyes twitched violently as he listened to the group of old women's lewd words: "Shut up, all of you!"

After saying that, he turned to Lin's mother and winked: "Sister-in-law, the delivery date for the first flowers is fast approaching! It's not worth delaying the whole village's dividends for a bunch of scoundrels."

"Didn't the captain just say that Bi should compensate us twenty yuan? If I pay the money, it won't delay my trip back."

Upon hearing this, the captain looked at Bi Yuntao and raised his voice slightly: "Quickly pay them back the money."

Bi Yuntao suppressed the hatred surging in his heart, took out a wad of money from Zhao Xiaoyu's pocket, then pulled out two ten-yuan bills and stuffed them into Lin's mother's hand.

"You'd better keep this money safe, or it might attract thieves. If it gets stolen again, we probably won't be able to catch the thief."

The Lin family can't hold onto three thousand five hundred dollars!

If he inadvertently leaks this information to the town's thugs, many people will likely sneak into the Lin family's house at night.

Lin Baozhu is so beautiful that those hooligans would refrain from touching her.

"Captain, what is he saying? Could it be that he's going to collude with the bandits again and lead a group to rob us at night?"

The captain suddenly turned to look at Bi Yuntao, her eyes like knives. Bi Yuntao felt guilty and dared not look up at her.

Judging from his sly look, it's obvious he's been holding back a bad fart.

"If your Bi family still wants to live a good life in the village, then you should live at the very back of my family."

“Captain, what are you saying? We’re all from the same village, how could we do such a despicable thing?”

After saying that, he gave Lin Baozhu a meaningful look, then turned and pulled Zhao Xiaoyu away...

Lin Baozhu sensed the malice emanating from Bi Yuntao and sneered, thinking that this beast was probably plotting some insidious scheme against her again.

Let him lose face along with Zhao Xiaoyu then; after all, she has plenty of extra-strength laxatives.

Thinking of this, her fingers trembled slightly, and the powder drifted towards the two of them again...

Unfortunately, she won't be able to see the play today.

Lin's mother, holding the twenty yuan that Bi Yuntao had given her as compensation, led Lin Baozhu home like a victorious rooster, while Bi Yuntao and Zhao Xiaoyu rode in an oxcart straight to the county town...

In the afternoon, Lin Erlang returned home, his sister-in-law weary from their journey. Only when he saw his mother and Lin Baozhu unharmed did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Ersao nervously pulled at Lin's mother and asked, "Mother, I heard that the bastards from the Revolutionary Committee came to our house. Were you hurt?"

A deep-seated hatred flashed in Lin's mother's eyes as she said, "Sanlang and I only suffered some scratches. If it weren't for that bitch Zhao Xiaoyu maliciously reporting our family, how could Sanlang and I have suffered like this? But don't worry, Sanlang and I are fine. You've come all this way tonight, so don't leave. Your aunt and uncle are here too, so have dinner together."
