That night, no one in the Qi family slept, except for little Qi Dongming, who fell into a sound sleep after crying himself tired.

After getting up in the morning, the three of them looked at each other, saw each other's dark circles, and sighed in their hearts!

"The weather has been sunny for a few days and the ground is dry. We will start work today." Qi Fusheng said, looking up at the sky.

Then he said to Gao Qiufeng, "You and Liang Lu don't have to go to work. I'll go."

"No!" Gao Qiufeng shook her head. "Everyone in the village is laughing at our family now. If I don't stand up and don't go to work, I will be laughed at even more!"

"Dad, my mom is right. I will go to work too." Liang Lu's eyes were swollen like walnuts. She had the same idea as her mother-in-law. She couldn't let anyone look down on the Qi family.

"Okay, let's all go to work." Qi Fusheng sighed and walked towards the team with his hands behind his back.

When they heard the sound of broken gongs coming from the brigade, Gao Qiufeng and Liang Lu went to work together.

After resting for a few days, the villagers got used to it and didn't want to move when they heard the bell for work.

People are like this. They don’t feel anything when they are busy all the time, but when they have some free time and are busy again, they feel a little lazy.

Qi Fusheng stood under the brigade tree, hitting the broken gong with a stick in his hand.

The first ones to arrive were Gao Qiufeng and Liang Lu.

After a long time, members began to come to the brigade in groups of three or four. They did not seem to be coming to work, but rather to shop.

Qi Fusheng shouted, "Come on, everyone, cheer up. You haven't rested enough after a few days. Hurry up and weed the corn seedlings. Once they grow taller, it will be difficult to weed them."

The members looked at Qi Fusheng's face, which had suddenly aged a lot, and then looked at Gao Qiufeng, who also looked old. Some felt sympathy, while others gloated over his misfortune.

Gao Qiufeng was shaking with anger, her hands clenched together and her teeth clenched.

She couldn't argue with these people; it would only make her look ridiculous.

Liang Lu was so angry that she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry. Tears kept welling up in her eyes.

"Get your tools and go to work. If you delay any longer you will have your work points deducted." Qi Fusheng yelled again.

The members lined up to receive the tools.

Zhu Yinling happened to be standing behind Gao Qiufeng. She reached out and poked her in the lower back. "Qiufeng, is there any news about Qingmei and Zhongcai?"

Gao Qiufeng was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. How could Zhu Yinling not know the news?

Asking her now would be like watching a joke.

Gao Qiufeng ignored Zhu Yinling and moved forward with a wooden face.

Zhu Yinling was indeed happy. After hearing that Qi Qingmei was missing, she laughed in the house for several days.

Now that Qi Qingmei is dead, no one knows her secret.

If the villagers knew that she had an affair, they would definitely laugh at her, and her children would definitely kick her out if they knew.

Seeing that Gao Qiufeng ignored her, Zhu Yinling reached out and poked Gao Qiufeng in the lower back again.

"If Qingmei and Zhongcai can't come back, you will have to prepare for their funeral."

"Zhu Yinling, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, why can't Qingmei and Zhongcai come back?

They just got lost." As a mother, He Xiuyun could empathize with Gao Qiufeng and she must be very sad.

Seeing that Zhu Yinling kept questioning Gao Qiufeng, she couldn't help but scold, "You have the leisure to worry about other people's affairs, why don't you worry about your own affairs?

Your children are already so old. If you don’t get married soon, you won’t be able to hold your grandchildren when you are old.”

The members all burst into laughter.

Zhu Yinling wanted to curse back, but she saw that the three sons of the Jiang family and Jiang Jianguo were all staring at her covetously. Then she looked at her son and saw that he seemed not to hear her being scolded by He Xiuyun and was signing the documents to receive the tools. She dared not say a word.

The last time she took the village chief to the mountain to catch Jiang Chunlin and his wife doing something scandalous, He Xiuyun pinned her to the ground and beat her so hard that she couldn't get off the bed for several days.

He glanced at He Xiuyun and shrank his neck.

He Xiuyun snorted coldly, pushed Zhu Yinling to the back, and whispered to Gao Qiufeng, "Qiufeng, don't panic, the kids will be fine."

Gao Qiufeng said to He Xiuyun gratefully, "I know."

He held He Xiuyun's hand with his trembling hands due to anger.

He Xiuyun held Gao Qiufeng's hand. It was a very hot day, but Gao Qiufeng's hand was as cold as ice. She sighed in her heart.

"Xiuyun, I think the two children of the village chief are in danger."

Aunt Zhou was weeding the grass with a hoe. When she saw some extra corn seedlings, she bent down, pulled them out and threw them aside.

He Xiuyun and Aunt Zhou were weeding the seedlings side by side, each responsible for two rows of corn seedlings.

After hearing what Aunt Zhou said, she glanced at Aunt Zhou and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this place is evil!"

"If everything I say comes true, I won't be weeding seedlings here anymore. The country will use me in an important position." Aunt Zhou said with a smile.

He Xiuyun also smiled but said nothing, lowering her head to work.

"Do you think the village chief's two children can come back alive?" Aunt Liu came over, propped up the hoe in her hand, looked at her two girlfriends, and continued in a low voice,

"I think 80% of them are dead. I just don't know where they were washed away by the water."

"I thought so too. It was such a big flood, and Teacher Fu watched Jiang Zhiqing being washed away. Qingmei and Zhongcai couldn't come back even though they were looking for him. I guess something happened to them, otherwise they would have come back long ago."

Aunt Zhou also used the hoe as a crutch and echoed Aunt Liu's words.

He Xiuyun looked at the two speechlessly, "This is a matter of life and death, don't talk nonsense."

"We were just talking nonsense, it's the truth." Aunt Zhou said unconvinced.

Aunt Liu nodded, she thought so too.

The truth cannot be told.

He Xiuyun pursed her lips and whispered to the two of them, "Don't you see that the village chief and his wife have aged a lot in the past few days, and they are very confused.

Regardless of whether Qingmei and Zhongcai are dead or alive, this is not something we should talk about."

Aunt Zhou and Aunt Liu looked at each other and felt that what He Xiuyun said made sense.

They were not hoping for anything to happen in the village chief's family. It was just some gossip that they could discuss while working, and time would pass quickly.

Otherwise, if you just work without saying anything, the day will be very difficult.

Zhu Yinling looked at the three wives who were talking together and snorted coldly, "That old man He Xiuyun was just talking about me, but it seems like things in her room are not messy at all.

Jiang Chunlin once killed a wild boar with one punch, and yesterday his wife's face was so red that I am waiting for the day when He Xiuyun will collect the body of her daughter-in-law."

"Aunt Zhu, you also know that Jiang Chunlin can kill a wild boar with one punch. If you make up stories about him like this, aren't you afraid that he will kill you with one punch?" Liu Hongmei cursed angrily when she heard what Zhu Yinling said.

Zhu Yinling was startled, looked up and saw that it was Liu Hongmei, and said gloatingly, "So many people saw it yesterday, I was framing him."

"If you have the guts, tell this to Jiang Chunlin in person." Liu Hongmei puffed out her chest and glared at Zhu Yinling.

Zhu Yinling was stunned by what she said, and then she yelled at Liu Hongmei, "Liu Hongmei, I'm talking about your brother-in-law, it's none of your business. You're so excited, are you having an affair with your brother-in-law?"
