Those arrogant people who were initially so cocky have also become deflated.
Song Yan felt like he'd seen a ghost. Would the director of the management committee be so easy to talk to? He wielded considerable power. That stern-looking man had given Lao Han no end of trouble last year.
Dong Mingming tried to move forward, unwilling to accept defeat. However, she was immediately pushed to the back by the villagers. She was then kicked a few more times by them.
"Alright, everyone, disperse! Disperse!" Cheng Yousuo shouted.
Song Yan stood in the courtyard watching Dong Mingming's retreating figure, feeling quite depressed.
Song Yan wanted to beat her up, but before he could even lay a hand on her, she was being beaten several times a day. As for giving her a good scolding, that was even less of a chance for Song Yan. The villagers were better at swearing than she was; she was constantly being insulted. Her two sisters-in-law from the Cheng family alone were enough to keep her in check.
Song Yan couldn't just go up there and cripple her, could he? It's such a small village; if he crippled her, he'd be the first one suspected, and that would cause trouble!
Whether it's seeking revenge or complaining about not having a chance to strike, it's incredibly frustrating!
Opportunities are created; they will always come.
My mother-in-law is still in shock, and the house is a mess.
Why…
Captain Wu didn't let them get away with it today, but the whole brigade was in chaos. Now they're even enthusiastically inviting Director Fan to stay for dinner—they've prepared three stewed pheasants!
Captain Wu wasn't exactly happy either!
This was all brought in by Dong Mingming. Has the fact that he, the brigade leader, is usually so easygoing made people forget who he really is?
Director Fan was originally the deputy, but he was good at reading the situation. When the original director was dealt with, he was promoted.
It's unacceptable to stand up for someone just because they offer a small bribe. Director Yuan, for some unknown reason, kept a close eye on a few people from the Qingshan brigade.
Someone told him to lend a hand. Knowing full well that this person was influential, why did you stubbornly resist? What good would it do? In the end, because you didn't raise your hand, they carried you away. And not in a humiliating way at that.
So after I became the director, I turned a blind eye to things at the Qingshan Brigade. They worked honestly and didn't cause trouble, wasn't that good enough?
The director was feeling quite pleased with the peaceful situation, but his subordinates almost caused a major disaster.
If it's proven that Comrade Song Yan learned his medical skills from those people, things will get out of control. If he drove a military family member to their death, I'll have to step down. Song Yan was personally commended by the county magistrate; if this matter gets back to the county level, I'll face more than just stepping down.
Song Yan was a comrade who was specifically named by higher authorities to participate in this year's provincial outstanding youth selection, which was an honor for the county! And then they removed him from the list of candidates?
Ugh, these people have no tact!
Director Fan knew about Song Yan's situation. How was the commune director removed from his post? These idiots, they don't even know this basic procedure.
Captain Wu tried to persuade him to stay, but Director Fan said the sky was too overcast and it was going to rain, so they should leave.
The usually serious man is now completely deflated; he was initially putting on an act. The comrade who came with Director Fan mentioned who Song Yan was. Because she dismissed a commune director. What is he compared to her?! He's going to hate Dong Mingming to death.
Dong Mingming told him many things, and he thought they were all true, but there was no evidence at all. He realized he had been fooled. In that moment, he forgot that he himself had only imagined things.
…
Captain Wu looked at the chicken in the pot and sighed! What a waste!
We gave Grandma Wang a big bowl. As for the rest, anyone who wants some can exchange it for work points…
Today, Aunt Wei scared Song Yan; she was really planning to crash into the wood. Aunt Wei laughed: "Have you ever seen anyone die from crashing into a piece of wood? At worst, they'll just bleed a little and feel a bit of pain. But those people are guilty, so they'll definitely be scared."
I don't think they'd dare drive me to my death!
The educational conference was held that evening. Dong Mingming was at the front the whole time, reflecting on her mistakes, and everyone gave her a serious talking-to.
Li Yuanzhao couldn't understand what Dong Mingming had done to deserve this. Couldn't she just be a decent person? That's what everyone in the brigade thought.
While Dong Mingming felt like she was living a life worse than death, the people below were overjoyed.
Chen Xiaodong's wife and Sun Akun's wife were urging Song Yan to go hunting. The people around them were also egging him on.
Song Yan kept smiling and shaking her head. She'd been thoroughly frightened by her mother-in-law today, and she certainly wouldn't go hunting in Laoheishan Mountain against her mother-in-law's wishes again. Her mother-in-law was very insistent on hunting; it was something she didn't really care about.
When Chen Xiaodong's wife saw that Song Yan disagreed, she started to pester Aunt Wei.
Aunt Wei knew how difficult it had been for the villagers to protect Song Yan today. She owed them a favor! "Song Yan, go ahead if you want to!"
Song Yan: "I don't want to go!" She readily agreed as soon as her mother-in-law said that. Does that mean her mother-in-law is preventing her from going? If everyone understood this, next time they'd just go to their mother-in-law's place. Should you refuse or not refuse something your mother-in-law wants you to agree to?
Several women coaxed and pleaded with Song Yan to go, and he finally gave in. He couldn't refuse their hospitality, and he also wanted to relax and unwind from the frustration of not being able to take revenge himself. But tomorrow wouldn't work. It was drizzling, and they wouldn't be cutting grass tomorrow. Wei Ping and Wei An were a little scared, so they decided to keep them company.
"There's something I need to make clear. I can only catch rabbits and pheasants, and my marksmanship is sometimes accurate and sometimes not. If you're taking me along, you have to be prepared for me to become a burden."
Furthermore, I can barely protect myself; I've never been deep in the mountains and have no experience.
Once I enter Laoheishan Mountain, I won't be able to get out without someone to guide me.
"Those who go hunting are on their own; don't count on me. If they find something big, they'll have to hunt it themselves. Again, don't rely on me."
Chen Xiaobei's wife nodded. It was better for Song Yan to be upfront about the unpleasant aspects. Everyone valued her because of her excellent marksmanship. As she said, she had never been into the mountains before and didn't have much experience.
There are many unknown dangers in the deep mountains and forests.
Chen Xiaobei's wife explained to him, "Every year, people from the brigade go into the mountains once or twice. If there are people with good marksmanship among them, they can get more kills."
Because so many people went, nothing serious ever happened.
"Your mother-in-law doesn't let your husband go hunting alone, but she lets him go when everyone else goes. You can ask her when you get home." Chen Xiaobei's wife carefully explained to Song Yan what to bring and what to be careful about when going deep into the mountains…
