The village chief finally seized the opportunity to speak, "Zhaodi, it's not like that. They let you stay because you've severed ties with your family and have nowhere to go. They're just doing this out of kindness, so you don't need to take it to heart."
"We're all from the same village, we can't just watch you wander the streets. Our methods might have been a bit extreme and made you misunderstand."
"How can a girl like you be so headstrong? You cut ties with your own family so easily, and now you want to leave your husband's family too. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The person in front of him was too domineering, with sharp eyes; he didn't even dare to meet his gaze directly.
"Kindness led Zhao Tiejun to abandon his wife, kindness led Zhao Ping to steal a man. Keep this kindness for yourself. I only hope your wife won't mind or misunderstand."
"Also, I have no family of my own anymore. My name is now Song Yingchun. Please remember that. There will be no more He Zhaodi."
Song Yingchun was just casually retorting, but she didn't expect to see a fleeting moment of panic in the village chief's eyes.
I understand now. This is a case of the upper beam being crooked, so the lower beam will be crooked as well.
Having such a village chief is a great misfortune for Zhao Family Village.
Although the village chief's wife was not a kind person either, as a woman myself, I still felt sorry for her. Her husband was like that, and so was her daughter. On the surface, they were a happy family, but inside they were broken and devastated.
Huh? Why is the village chief's wife expressionless? She's so calm it's almost numb. Does she know her husband's secret?
Forget it, who can guarantee that it's not a case of one person willing to hit and the other willing to be hit? Let's not meddle in other people's business.
However, unlike Song Yingchun's discovery, Xie Lin's thoughts went a step further.
As the head of a village, one may have very little power outside, but in a mountain village surrounded by mountains, the village head is like a local emperor, basically ruling with one word, so one's character is extremely important.
My original intention was simply to get a general understanding of the people in power so that I could take action later, but I didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise.
The fleeting panic in the other person's eyes was definitely not just due to Song Yingchun's unspoken meaning.
He definitely has a secret he's hiding.
Zhao Tiejun didn't expect Zhao Ping to be so useless, unable to make a ripple at all, and instead being suppressed by the other party to the point of being speechless, so he had no choice but to stand up.
"Boss, actually, Zhao Ping and I are just..."
The plane was there to pick people up, not to be displayed. Xiao Dan didn't want to waste time dealing with such filth. He was just there to pick up his two darlings and, incidentally, fulfill his daughter's little request.
He asked pilot Liang Jianbin to help carry the luggage of Chen Li, her family of three, and Song Yingchun onto the plane, but he waved his hand impatiently.
"Stop saying anything. The truth is known to you, me, and heaven and earth. Since it's not a secret on your part, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever, so you don't need to make excuses for yourself."
"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now. We're going."
"Boss, listen to me, it's not what you think. Please give me a chance, I really need this job." Zhao Tiejun struggled, he desperately wanted to leave the mountain village for the big city.
"I didn't think much of it. Please don't bother me and lose the dignity of a former soldier." Xiao Dan left him with only a resolute back view.
You were given the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it, so you can't blame anyone else.
"You're bullying me, you're really bullying me! I don't agree to this. That's my son's job. If you don't give it back to him, I'll fight you to the death!"
After his dream was shattered, Zhao Tiejun's mother stood at home in a daze for a long time before finally walking over with heavy steps.
Upon hearing that it was the village chief's second son and daughter-in-law who had taken the job, which led to her son's dismissal, she became furious and lunged at Chen Li like a madwoman, raising her muddy claws to scratch her head.
Pick the softest persimmons.
Song Yingchun quickly threw her package at Zhao's mother, "Lily, be careful."
Stopping Zhao's mother from grabbing Chen Li, Song Yingchun rushed over, knocked Zhao's mother down, and swung her hand, hitting her face left and right.
"You old hag, I haven't even settled the score for kidnapping and locking me up, and you've already delivered yourself to me. You want a beating, huh? Fine, I'll give you a good beating today."
"Ouch, it hurts so much! You bastard, I'm your mother-in-law! Let me go! If you dare hit me, I'll report you for being unfilial!"
"She's just my ex-mother-in-law. If she hit me, why talk about filial piety? Bah!"
Her best friend was getting revenge for her, and Chen Li couldn't be left out. "Ping An, hold Zhao Tiejun down, I'll whip him."
"Okay, wife." The farmer wasn't entirely at a disadvantage in strength against the former soldier.
The scene was chaotic, and the villagers who were about to leave surrounded them again.
This melon is enough to last a month.
With the matter settled, Zhao Ping knew she had no hope of going to the capital. With a gloomy face, she picked up a stick and struck Song Yingchun on the head.
The force was extremely fierce; one blow could cause Song Yingchun to suffer a head injury and bleed, or even die.
That's vicious.
Liang Jianbin, who was quietly picking up his luggage, saw this and immediately rushed to his aid, kicking her away.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! What kind of behavior is this? We're all family, can't we sit down and talk things out?"
The village chief offered a perfunctory word of advice.
For some reason, I felt a sharp gaze fixed on me from the moment I turned my head, but I didn't see anything when I looked.
The unknown made him uneasy; his heart was pounding.
Now I can't even worry about my daughter's job anymore. I just hope these people will leave soon and give Zhao Family Village some peace and quiet.
The peace and quiet can no longer be maintained.
"Oh no~, we're doomed~, someone's going to be doomed~, Dad, Stinky Egg, Little Liangzi, Level One Alert~."
A loud and melodious voice came from the backyard, and everyone realized that the doll team had moved to a different location sometime during the day.
The three people whose names were called received the signal and immediately went on alert.
Shishi wouldn't speak without reason; she must have discovered something.
The need for Level 1 security measures must be related to national security.
Xie Lin immediately spread his vision.
In the backyard, a group of children were digging a hole in a circle.
It turns out that Zhao Ping'an made a half-body wooden doll, and Shi Shi suddenly decided to bury the supporting stick to grow the doll.
I chose a soft spot, and after digging a few times, I found that the soil was different from other places. It was particularly loose, as if it had been dug up in the last couple of days.
She suspected something was buried underneath, and looking down, she found a small wooden box inside. The contents of the box looked very familiar.
"Little ones, dig here." She drew a circle and directed the child soldiers.
With everyone's efforts, the box was quickly dug out, and the contents were revealed upon opening it.
Three-year-old Zhao Xiaoxiao's mouth agape, "What is this?"
Shishi coaxed her, "This is a treasure, do you know whose it is?"
"I don't know. My parents say that the things in the house have nothing to do with our second branch of the family. If we want something, the three of us have to work hard for it ourselves."
This is an honest child.
In this kind of situation, only by staying out of trouble can you keep your head.
Xie Lin saw the contents of the box clearly, his pupils constricted, and he whispered in Xiao Dan's ear, "Dad, it's a telegraph machine."
