My father-in-law Yang Li's index finger was swollen, my mother-in-law's cheek was red and swollen, my brother-in-law's legs were limping, and even my sister-in-law had several whip marks on her body.
Needless to say, they were all tortured by the authorities.
"Son-in-law?" The father-in-law looked surprised when he saw Lin Feng.
The Yang family members surrounded Lin Feng and kept asking questions. When they learned that their daughter had also come, they were extremely happy.
But then, thinking of their own poor life with barely enough food to eat, the Yang Li couple suddenly felt extremely uneasy. Their son-in-law and his family had come at the wrong time! All the food in the house had been taken away by the government, and they didn't know what to eat next! Alas!
Seeing the old couple sighing, Lin Feng smiled slightly: "Dad! Mom! This is not the place to reminisce about the past. Let's go home first. Jingyi is getting anxious waiting for her."
"Yes, yes, we can't let the child worry." Yang's mother nodded repeatedly. Her daughter was pregnant and couldn't work too hard.
Lin Feng pulled the ox cart. When Yang's father saw the big ox pulling the cart, his eyes lit up instantly. This ox was really strong and a good animal.
Farmers like these livestock that can plow fields and pull goods, and they are far better than other people's large cattle.
Father Yang stepped forward and touched the cow's head: "Great! Son-in-law, how did this cow come from?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's called Xiao Hei. My younger sister gave it the name. If you want to talk about its origin, there are some people who have said it. Let's talk about it while we walk on the road."
Helping the Yang family members to sit on the ox cart, Yang Hao didn't need to whip the cart. He just had to say "go home" and Xiao Hei would find the way by himself, which again aroused the curiosity of the Yang family members.
On the return trip in the oxcart, Lin Feng recounted his experiences along the way, and everyone was moved to tears.
"By the way, why would the government let us in? You don't know, they wronged us and said they would send our family to the border to do hard labor." Father Yang's face was full of hatred when he talked about this.
Lin Feng looked at the wounds on his father-in-law's family and felt murderous in his heart.
"I paid the fine and they released me. Dad and Mom, don't worry, I will avenge you." Lin Feng promised.
As for how much fine grain they had paid, Lin Feng did not tell the two elders because he was afraid that they would feel upset. Everyone was now physically and mentally exhausted, and he did not want to rub salt into their wounds.
Xiao Hei ran quite fast, and it was only because Lin Feng slowed it down from time to time that he would start to run. Otherwise, his four hooves would start to move so fast that he would really feel like he was about to fly. The more this happened, the happier the Yang family was. With this strong bull, they could reclaim more wasteland to grow crops, and they would have hope for the future.
Yang Hao took out the diluted spiritual spring water and gave it to the Yang family to drink, which again drew praise from everyone.
"Brother-in-law, this water is so sweet! I have never tasted such delicious water." Brother-in-law Yang Yaozu asked curiously.
"If it tastes good, drink more." Lin Feng smiled. How could it not taste good? This is spiritual spring water! After drinking this spiritual spring water, their wounds will heal faster.
Time passed quickly as we talked along the way. After a while, the ox cart drove into Liangma Village.
When they arrived at the house where they had settled their family, Yang Jingyi was already waiting at the door, and Lin's mother was standing beside her, watching over her.
"Huh? You're back!" From a distance, Lin's mother heard Xiao Hei's mooing and said to Yang Jingyi with a smile.
Yang Jingyi also nervously grabbed Lin's mother's hand. She was worried about the safety of her family and was extremely panicked.
Finally, the ox cart stopped. Yang Jingyi called out to her family, took a few quick steps, and then threw herself into her mother's arms. Tears streamed down her face, which was heartbreaking to watch.
Lin's mother and Yang Jingyi hugged each other and cried bitterly. Upon hearing the news, Lin's father, master Zhang Sanfeng and others came out to check.
When the in-laws met, they asked about each other's well-being.
"Okay, we are back now, aren't we? Our daughter is pregnant, don't get too excited, be happy." Father Yang saw the mother and daughter crying, so he quickly reminded them.
Only then did Lin's mother let go of Yang Jingyi's arms, and then kept asking about her well-being. When Yang Jingyi saw her mother's swollen face, she sobbed for a while and couldn't even speak.
"Jingyi, don't worry, they will pay the price." Lin Feng hurried forward to comfort her.
"Well! They all deserve to die." Yang Jingyi said hatefully, gritting her teeth.
"Let's go home!" Yang's father called out.
"Dad, wasn't our house taken away by the government?" Yang Yaozu reminded him.
Father Yang slapped his forehead and said, "That's right!"
For a moment, Father Yang felt helpless and didn't know how he would live in the future.
When Yang Hao paid the fine, he asked about the sealed house. The government pretended to be deaf and dumb, obviously wanting more benefits. Lin Feng did not mention the matter again. As long as you have money, what kind of house can't you buy?
"Dad! I've looked at that yard, and the environment isn't very good. There's a sewage pit next to the cemetery, and it's easy for people to get sick. Do you know if there are any other houses for sale in this village?" Lin Feng suggested. Besides, the yard wasn't very big, and there were only three dilapidated thatched houses, which really couldn't accommodate so many people.
"You want to buy a house? But..." Father Yang had a lot of grievances in his heart. Buying a house is not cheap, and he is penniless now.
"Dad! Don't worry about money and food. I have everything I need. There are some things I can't tell you now, but you will understand when the time comes." Lin Feng smiled and comforted him.
Father Yang nodded. It seemed that his son-in-law's family was living a good life. From the way they were dressed and their rosy faces, it was clear that they had enough food and drink. As for how they did it, he was embarrassed to ask too much. After all, they were just in-laws, and talking too much would only annoy people.
"Brother-in-law, I know whose house is being sold. There's a rich man named Wang in the village, and his family is moving to another place." The brother-in-law interrupted.
Father Yang glared at his brother-in-law and scolded him, "Wealthy Mr. Wang's house is for sale, but do you know how big that yard is? It's going to cost a lot."
Lin Feng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Dad, I said that we have no shortage of money and food. As long as we have a good house that is big enough for our whole family to live in, that will be enough."
"In that case, I'll take you on a trip. Mr. Wang is very greedy," Yang's father reminded.
Lin Feng smiled slightly. He was not afraid that he was greedy, but he was afraid that he would not dare to ask for a price. As he said, he was rich.
