Pan Gaozhi was delighted. She quickly put on her shoes and ran out. Pregnant women get hungry easily, and she ate two steamed buns and a large bowl of thin porridge before she felt much better.
Wang Gou Dan was somewhat suspicious. Er Niu wasn't that kind of person, but his daughter-in-law said she didn't know, and he couldn't press her for an answer. But something just felt off. He picked up his pipe, went to the yard, squatted down, and started smoking. He needed to think carefully about what was wrong.
Noon passed and Wang Erniu still hadn't returned. Wang Gou Dan was certain his daughter-in-law was hiding something, so he kicked open Pan Gaozhi's door and yelled, "You wretched woman, where did my son go? Tell me the truth, or I'm going to call the police!"
Upon hearing the word "Police Station," Pan Gaozhi trembled with fear, knowing that he could no longer hide it. He said in a trembling voice, "Dad, Erniu went to the black market and told me not to tell anyone, so I dare not say anything."
Wang Gou Dan's mind went blank for a moment. He knew that Er Niu was finished. Even if he refused to eat peanuts, he would definitely spend the rest of his life in jail. A surge of hatred welled up in his heart. Without thinking, he slapped him, and blood spilled from the corner of Pan Gao Zhi's mouth.
Erniu's mother's gaze towards Pan Gaozhi has changed. Ever since this woman came to their door asking to live together, Erniu has been to the black market several times, and the family's money has been spent. This is not marrying a wife, but finding a jinx.
When she saw Wang Gou Dan about to make another move, she grabbed him and said, "Er Niu's father, this jinx is pregnant, you can't do anything more!"
Upon hearing that she was pregnant, Wang Gou Dan sobered up a bit, spat out a mouthful of saliva, turned around and walked out. He was going to find the village chief and ask him to think of a solution.
At the same time, Yan Xiaonan's consciousness had already seen a jeep drive in. Dad is really smart, knowing which way to go. He quickly ran into Bei Nan's room and said, "Maotou, your cousin's car is here. Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll wait for you in the main room."
Bei Nan quickly took off his clothes and pants, and after Mao Tou changed into them, he made Mao Tou wear his hat and a big scarf, covering his face completely with the scarf, so that his eyes were almost invisible.
Grandma Yan and Yan Xiaonan looked at it and realized that it really did look like Bei Nan from a distance. They nodded in satisfaction and left with Zhongzi. Yan Xiaonan habitually scanned the area with her mind, and Wang Gou Dan's image flashed through her mind.
Oh no, Wang Gou Dan must have gone to the village chief's house. I have to hurry. I grabbed Mao Tou and ran towards the back mountain, successfully avoiding Wang Gou Dan's sight, and arrived at the back mountain.
After about ten minutes, the car arrived. Maotou ran up and burst into tears when he saw the driver: "Brother Tie."
Tie Ge didn't turn off the engine. Instead, he took the military overcoat and had Mao Tou take off Bei Nan's clothes and put on the overcoat. The two bowed to Yan Xiaoqiang and Nan Nan, then turned and got into the car. Nan Nan quickly took out the things from the basket on her back: "Mao Tou, eat on the way."
Maotou's tears fell again. Bei Nan's family was so kind, especially Nan Nan and her father. He would definitely repay them when he became successful in the future.
Yan Xiaoqiang stuffed Bei Nan's clothes into his basket and headed home. Along the way, Yan Xiaonan was fully alert. Apart from the people chopping firewood at the foot of the mountain, no one else was coming from here.
Bei Nan put her clothes away and, after confirming that Mao Tou had left with his so-called "Iron Brother," finally relaxed: "Grandma, I will definitely listen to you from now on. If you say east, I will never go west."
Grandma Yan was relieved. It was good that the person had run away. As for Wang Erniu, her family wouldn't interfere, because he went to the black market for his wife, so if anyone was going to interfere, it would be his wife.
Village Chief Ma was humming a tune at home. In a few days, it would be time to hand over the pigs. This year, Yan Xiaoqiang's pigs were even fatter than last year's, and the pigs of the other families had also exceeded the standards for handing over. This time, he was sure to be a model worker.
The knocking on the courtyard gate was urgent, and Ma's wife's heart started pounding with each knock: "Old Ma, go see who's knocking outside, it's driving me crazy!"
Village Chief Ma frowned, put on his old cotton-padded coat, and went to open the courtyard gate. Wang Gou Dan fell into the courtyard from outside, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned and didn't get hurt.
"Village chief, save Erniu! Erniu has been arrested!" Wang Gou Dan simply sat on the ground, hugged Village Chief Ma's leg, and wailed.
Village Chief Ma was startled. What had Erniu done to get arrested?
"That jinx sent Erniu to the black market yesterday, and he hasn't come back yet," Wang Gou Dan started cursing.
Ma Da Sao also came out wearing a coat. Hearing this, she understood: "Wang Gou Dan, during the busy farming season, the meat and white rice that Pan Gaozhi ate were all obtained from the black market, right?"
Wang Gou Dan's voice stopped abruptly. He remembered that he had given Er Niu money to buy rice and meat on the black market, all to trick this educated youth into joining the family. Now he had clearly shot himself in the foot.
Wang Gou Dan couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted. Village Chief Ma quickly grabbed him, and he and his wife dragged Wang Gou Dan into the main room, as it was too cold outside.
Mrs. Ma resigned herself to her fate and went out to find the village doctor. After all, she was a cadre's family member, and she had to stand up for the villagers when they needed help.
The village doctor was annoyed by the Wang family, but since it was Ma Da Sao who came, he could only accept his bad luck. When he learned that Wang Gou Dan had collapsed at the village chief's house, he couldn't help but feel strange.
But Ma's wife was a tight-lipped person; she simply claimed she didn't know, and genuinely didn't know what had happened, so she couldn't just go around spreading rumors.
Upon entering the main room, the village doctor glanced at Wang Gou Dan's eyes, inwardly sneering, "Damn it, why does the Wang family like to pretend to be unconscious so much? I'll teach them a lesson today, otherwise it'll be a waste of my house call."
Find the longest silver needle and viciously stab it into Wang Gou Dan's philtrum. The screams of agony startled Ma Minghua, who was sleeping, so much that she jumped up from the bed and almost fell off.
Village Chief Ma was an experienced village chief, so he knew exactly what the village doctor was doing. He immediately shouted, "Wang Gou Dan, you bastard, stand up!"
Wang Gou Dan resigned himself to his bad luck, unable to even convincingly feign unconsciousness. Just as he was about to speak, the village doctor coldly said, "The consultation fee is fifty cents."
Wang Gou Dan jumped up and down: "You charge 50 cents for just one trip? You're obsessed with money."
The village doctor completely ignored Wang Gou Dan and looked at the village chief, saying, "This guy who was pretending to faint made me run around for nothing. He should at least compensate me a little."
The village chief nodded and looked at Wang Gou Dan, saying, "Pay the house call fee right away, or I'll deduct your work points."
