Song Yan was about to go to work with his sickle when he saw Captain Wu walking happily from the direction of Grandma Wang's house.
Song Yan greeted, "Captain, let's go see Grandma Wang!"
"Yes! With more people in the family, the old lady is much more energetic than before! Pan Bo and his wife are diligent, and they keep the house spotless." Captain Wu wasn't comfortable just entrusting Grandma Wang to someone else; he wanted to check on her regularly…
"Captain, Meili is about to give birth. Meili's mother wants you to come!" Chen Xiaobei's mother shouted.
"Oh dear! I have to go check!" Captain Wu ran a few steps and then turned back. "Song Yan, why don't you..." He didn't want Song Yan to leave the village; what if the girl needed a doctor? But their past conflict...
"I'm not going to mow the lawn! I'm going fishing by the river. I'll stay in the same old spot!"
Where to cut grass is uncertain, hard to find. Fishing is in one place. Even if you move, it won't go to the riverbank. You can find it easily.
Song Yan disregarded Wu Meili's past grievances because Captain Wu was a good person and a good cadre.
Otherwise, if you help people like Wu Meili and He Jianian, they might just turn around and try to extort you! Dealing with them is just doing yourself a disservice.
Wu Meili was pregnant with her first child, so it wouldn't be too quick; she hadn't given birth by the afternoon.
When Captain Wu arrived, Song Yan thought something had happened to Wu Meili! It turned out the commune had notified them to install telephones and loudspeakers for the brigade tomorrow. The captain asked Song Yan to cook a meal.
No problem!
Looking at the water tank in Song Yan's yard, Song Yan guessed what was going on. "I'll take two more fish over tomorrow."
"I won't let you take it for free, I'll give you a discount!" Captain Wu said, feeling embarrassed.
The brigade kept half of the money from selling roe deer and bear paws last time, which was just enough to buy sand to pave the village roads. The weaving group wanted to use the remaining money to repair the village's irrigation canal.
Otherwise, Song Yan would say that Captain Wu is a good official.
After all the calculations, the village still had no money.
"I don't want the money! I support the captain's work."
Song Yan said.
The captain left happily, but he felt he should at least give Song Yan some money.
The fish came from my space, and they ate them for free. Plus, the space gained area, so it's a good deal.
Last time, I don't know what happened, but a large area suddenly grew out of the space.
But Song Yan wanted an even larger area. Even if she only planted a little of each type of medicinal herb, it would still require a lot of space. Actually, she could speed up the planting process, harvest the herbs, and then plant other ones.
But Song Yan wanted a garden with a wide variety of Chinese medicinal herbs!
Now her Chinese herbal medicine garden has dozens of varieties, including astragalus, ginseng, licorice, wolfsbane, large thistle, small thistle, gastrodia, dandelion, plantain, scutellaria, earthworm, saposhnikovia, and white peony.
The white peony covers the largest area because peony flowers are truly beautiful!
Song Yanhong cooked two large fish, made a cold wild vegetable salad, scrambled eggs, and stewed rabbit.
Song Yan said she caught it yesterday. Actually, it was inside her spatial dimension. She really wants her spatial dimension to grow larger!
She dreamed of planting a field of peonies someday, followed by a field of roses, and she also loved peonies…
To wander freely in a sea of flowers must be the life of a celestial being!
The food was excellent. The four members of the communications team were very satisfied. Especially the food itself—it tasted great!
Captain Wu was also very happy; Wu Meili had just given birth to a healthy baby girl. Now he could finally eat in peace.
Song Yan is a good comrade! She said she didn't want the rabbit for money; she was contributing to the brigade...
Captain Wu's good mood lasted until he saw the communications team off.
People from the county public security bureau, the local police station, and the management committee's educated youth office all came; Dong Mingming had disappeared.
Shen Hanyang and Wang Wenjuan were both at the brigade headquarters and knew what had happened.
The commune's educated youth office and the management committee each sent one person to escort Dong Mingming to the county's educated youth office.
The people in the commune's educated youth office got food poisoning, and he didn't want to go to the county.
The management committee was supposed to be assisting. But the people from the management committee took it all on, saying they would send people over themselves.
Dong Mingming was dazed and didn't run or make a fuss; she was fine on her own. So the people in the educated youth office agreed.
The person who took Dong Mingming there was the same stern-looking man who came to the brigade that day to take Song Yan away; his name was Tian Jiang. He had been severely reprimanded by Director Fan for this incident. He felt that Dong Mingming was the one who had caused all this trouble for him. He rode his bicycle to take Dong Mingming there so he could beat and scold her along the way.
At first, Dong Mingming endured the beatings and scoldings, but for some reason, she suddenly started fighting back.
Tian Jiang was furious and pinned Dong Mingming to the ground, beating her mercilessly. During the struggle, Dong Mingming's clothes tore open. He then conceived a wicked plan; since Dong Mingming was mentally challenged and wouldn't know anything, he raped her…
Dong Mingming picked up a stone and knocked Tian Jiang unconscious.
The incident occurred in a grassy area not far from the county seat. People who came out to forage for wild vegetables saw Tian Jiang unconscious; he wasn't wearing pants. Realizing something was wrong, they ran to the county seat to report it…
When Tian Jiang woke up, he confessed everything. However, he recalled that Dong Mingming later became somewhat sensible because she knew she had been...
Song Yan sighed; she hadn't expected Dong Mingming to end up like this. However, she had no reason to feel guilty. Dong Mingming had brought this situation upon herself, step by step.
Of course, as a woman myself, I don't want this to happen to her.
These women looked at each other.
Tian Jiang's comment that Dong Mingming seems to be recovering somewhat is probably true. The fact that she fought back after being beaten shows she's finally coming to her senses!
A clear-headed Dong Mingming is a major hidden danger! You can't judge a person like her by common sense; she might retaliate against someone, especially given what she went through.
