Qin Laoshuan cursed outside, "You bastards! The sheep of the production team are related to the lives of the entire Qinjiazhuang village. You think you can be spared by pretending to be pitiful? Don't dream."
He cursed and ordered the militia to tie up the man and take the sheep away.
The woman in confinement kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy, and he said, "If I hadn't seen you give birth, I would have taken you away with me today. Get out of my way."
One of the militiamen couldn't bear it and said, "Captain, let's discuss this. Stealing is unforgivable, but this woman just gave birth. Can you leave the sheep you killed for them so she can have something to eat?"
He said what Qin Huai wanted to say, but he didn't say it out loud because he knew it would be useless.
As expected, Qin Laoshuan scolded him mercilessly: "Are you crazy or stupid? Once this door is opened, everyone will follow their example and steal sheep and pigs. The lives of all our villagers will be in danger. Your kindness will kill everyone."
The man immediately didn't dare to say another word.
Qin Laoshuan said, "Let's go."
Qin Huai fell behind, helped the woman up, dug out thirty yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into the woman's hand and said, "Keep the money and raise the child well."
The woman looked at him in surprise and was about to kowtow to him, but Qin Huai said, "Don't be like that. Take care of the child."
When he caught up with the captain and his group, Qin Laoshuan seemed to know something and said casually: "Don't be kind without thinking, it will kill people."
"I know, uncle."
One of the sheep died, and the production team drank a bowl of mutton soup together in the evening.
Qin Laoshuan's face looked unhappy. Sheep are not that simple sheep.
Qin Huai couldn't drink anymore. Thinking of that woman and child, he felt very upset.
The composting work in the village was in full swing, but Qin Huai didn't need to go. If he went again, the village's tools would be almost destroyed. The warehouse keeper in charge of the tools was frowning. Qin Laoshuan said, "Forget it. We don't want you to do this work anymore."
If you don't work, you won't get any work points. If it were someone else, it would be like the sky falling.
Qin Huai was of course happy not to go, so he went back and picked up his hunting rifle to go hunting.
The weather was still very cold. The mountains in northern Anhui were barren and small, and not even a sparrow could be seen. My second uncle Qin Dagen always went hunting in the mountains two hundred miles away.
It was already afternoon when he returned to Qinjiazhuang, hungry. No one was home, and someone told him, "Go check! Qin Xiaoyun has been called to the community housing by the commune staff."
What did the commune leader ask a little girl to do?
Qin Huai hurried to the community house to see, and was surprised to see Qin Xiaoyun and several little girls from the village standing in a row, and Jiang Feng smiling at a man who looked like an official.
Bai Laoliu, who had not been seen for a long time, actually stood on the leader's side with great confidence.
There are three distinct groups of people: the leaders on one side, the villagers on the other, and Qin Xiaoyun and the other girls on the other.
Qin Huai shouted, "Xiao Yun, why don't you go home?"
Qin Laoshuan hurried over and said, "Qin Huai, stop yelling."
"Uncle, what are you doing with these little girls standing there?"
Qin Laoshuan: "Don't be impatient, just listen to me first..."
"There's nothing to say, Qin Xiaoyun, come here."
Qin Xiaoyun turned around and said, "Brother, they won't let me go."
Qin Laoshuan said, "Ancestor, please don't cause trouble. Can't you see there are guests here?"
"What does the guests have to do with me?" He said as he walked to the little girl and pulled Qin Xiaoyun out.
A boy standing next to the guest, shaking his head, pointed at Qin Xiaoyun and said, "I want her, she's pretty."
Jiang Feng smiled at his leader, then pointed at Qin Laoshuan and said, "Lao Qin, all the other girls should go away and bring that girl over here."
Qin Laoshuan whispered, "Qin Huai, listen to me. Let your sister come with me and don't make them unhappy."
Qin Huai said, "You don't have to go. I want to see what they want to do."
He held Qin Xiaoyun's hand, and Qin Xiaoyun said, "That's Bai Laoliu's uncle. He came to visit relatives in the village. The boy is a fool. Bai Laoliu's uncle wants to find a wife in the village to take care of the fool, and he picked us."
Qin Huai was furious when he heard this. He said, "You have gathered all the girls together for you to choose from. Do you think you are the emperor?"
"Brother, don't be angry. He is a high-ranking official and we can't afford to offend him." Qin Xiaoyun saw the gloomy look on his face and hurriedly persuaded him.
"That's great. I, Qin Huai, look so easy to bully."
He came to Jiang Feng with a gloomy face, and Bai Laoliu said, "Cripple, you are so lucky. Your sister has been favored by my brother. Qing, just wait and enjoy the happiness in the future."
Qin Huai opened his mouth and cursed: "Bullshit, you are a disgusting family. In this new society, you still want to bully men and women. Is there any justice or law?"
Uncle Bai showed an unhappy expression, and Jiang Feng immediately scolded him: "Qin Huai, what nonsense are you talking about? How could the leader do that? He will definitely discuss it with you."
"Have you discussed it with me? You brought her here without even saying hello, and you're even imitating others in choosing a concubine. Are you worthy of it?"
Bai Laoliu cursed, "You damn cripple, how can you talk like that?"
Uncle Bai had been reserved about his status, but after hearing this, he could no longer hold back and pointed at Qin Huai and asked Jiang Feng, "Who is this person?"
Before Jiang Feng could speak, Qin Huai said, "I am just a farmer. If I want to choose a concubine, I can't find someone else, not my sister Qin Huai."
Jiang Feng wanted to cover his mouth: "Qin Huai, how do you talk to your superiors? If you continue like this, I will arrest you."
Qin Huai said, "Why did you arrest her? If you dare, beat me to death in front of the people of Qinjiazhuang today. If you don't, I will speak up. Who gave you the right to bring this little girl here without the family's consent?"
Bai Laoliu said, "I'm looking for your sister because I think highly of her. She's just a little girl who grew up begging for food. She's only had two days of full meals and she thinks she's a lady of high rank."
Qin Huai pointed the hunting rifle at him and said, "If you dare to say anything bad about my sister again, I will make you speechless for the rest of your life."
Bai Laoliu was facing the black muzzle of a gun and said in panic, "Uncle, help me! This guy is so cruel and ruthless. He really dares to shoot."
Jiang Feng said, "Qin Huai, you're still rebelling. Put down your gun now, or I'll be rude to you."
Uncle Bai's guards actually pulled the bolt of their guns and aimed them at Qin Huai.
Qin Laoshuan hurriedly stood in front of Qin Huai and said, "Second Brother Bai, we are from the same village, there is no need to make such a fuss. Qin Huai loves his sister, so don't be angry with him."
Jiang Feng was furious and said, "I think people like this should be arrested. They dare to challenge their superiors. I think they have ideological problems."
Uncle Bai waved his hand, and the guard put away his gun. He said slowly, "Not bad, they are ambitious. Let them go."
