(no doormat female lead ➕ male lead appears later ➕ slice of life ➕ farming life ➕ no golden finger/cheats ➕ revenge on scumbags ➕ sweet romance ➕ ensemble cast ➕ family affairs)
Thinking of the commotion of the past few days, Lei Hongyin's tears flowed down. This was not pretend crying, this was real crying.
Yesterday, one of her chickens was killed and she was beaten by the old man. Another chicken was lost early in the morning and she was almost cut in the neck by Qiao Jiangxin. Two other chickens were also killed in the morning and her fourth child was beaten to a pulp.
The old man finally came back. She thought someone was on her side and that the chance for revenge had come, but her precious son ended up having eleven stitches.
"Wow, I can't care about exposing my family's shame to others now..."
Qiao Jiuwang interrupted Lei Hongyin, "What are you talking about? Come on, what are you all doing here? Disperse, what's so good about this? Have you collected all the food from the farmers?"
Qiao Jiuwang didn't want others to know about his family affairs.
No matter which side of the brothers Lei Hongyin and Qiao Youfu was right, they were both laughed at by others, and people said that he, as the head of the family, had no authority.
Lei Hongqi was sobbing and complaining to an elderly aunt, but Qiao Jiangxin became impatient and said to Qiao Jiuwang, "Grandpa, don't you think we shouldn't pay for my dad's medical expenses?"
Lei Hongqi's sobbing became quieter. She tilted her ear to listen to Qiao Jiuwang's reply. She wasn't going to pay the money anyway. The village used to keep medical expenses on account and deduct them from the fund at the end of the year. After the land reform, there was no fund, and several villagers who had medical expenses on account were being dishonest and couldn't get their money back, so the current rule was to pay in cash for medical treatment.
If you don’t have money, borrow from others, but don’t owe Liu Haimao money.
She did it on purpose. She didn't pay the money. She wanted to see who would dare to lend it to those two beasts. She wanted to trample these two bastards into the dust.
Qiao Jiuwang drove away the onlookers, turned around and slammed the door, blocking out the outside view.
He also wanted to suppress his two sons, and he really wanted to let everyone know that in this family, only he, Qiao Jiuwang, had the final say.
"Now you know my grandfather, but he is useless. If you have money, go see a doctor. If you don't have money, don't. It's not a serious illness. You just need to see a doctor for a scratch. Do you think the money in your family came from the wind?"
Just as Lei Hongqi's lips curled up with pride, he heard Qiao Jiangxin say, "Okay, we'll pay for it ourselves. Uncle Haimao, we can use other things to pay for it."
With that said, Qiao Jiangxin rushed to the kitchen and in the blink of an eye he came out holding a boning knife.
Lei Hongqi thought of the knife that was against his neck that morning, and his whole body was shocked and almost jumped up.
But Qiao Jiangxin didn't come towards her. Instead, she turned around and went into the pigpen next door.
There are two pigs in the pigsty. They are the most valuable property of the whole family. The whole year's income depends on selling the pigs at the end of the year.
The pigs were caught at the beginning of the year. Now they weigh over 100 pounds each. They have always been taken care of by Qiao Jiangxin and Liu Afang. They are also Lei Hongyin's lifeblood.
When the pigs saw Qiao Jiangxin coming, they thought she was here to feed them, so they quickly surrounded her. Outside, Lei Hongyin seemed to understand something and yelled in a hoarse voice, "Ahhhhhh, stop her, stop her~"
Qiao Jiangxin ignored Lei Hongqi's hoarse voice and swung the knife at the pig.
“Aa ...
Lei Hongqi's screams drowned out the pig's screams.
Then there was a thud. Qiao Jiangxin turned around and saw Lei Hongqi falling straight to the ground.
