Chapter 40: Cherish it anyway



The third production team, Yan’s yard.

Under the attack of Nie Hongshan's shoe soles, Nie Xiaofeng left in shame and anger.

Li Jianxing and Zhang Xinlian were forced to stop fighting, but they were still angry. Both of them were covered in blood and turned to look at each other with dissatisfaction.

Yan Mingli was still protecting Mo Yutong as he stood beside the pile of firewood, staring at everyone in the yard in silence, while the two little kids were squatting by the door with eyes full of curiosity.

The world seemed to be paused, only the wind on the lawn was still blowing overhead, making the leaves rustle.

The last bit of sunset light was still struggling on the top of the mountain, stretching people's shadows very long.

Only the members who still held their rice bowls took advantage of the daylight to shovel the last bit of grain porridge in their bowls, and either squatted or stood in the Yan family's yard, reluctant to leave.

"Uncle Wei, look at what has happened. We have troubled you to come with us." Nie Hongshan helped Wei Zhengmao, who was leaning on a cane, and took two steps towards the middle of the yard.

If he had not been collecting work points as the production team leader, he would not have wanted to get involved in this matter at all. Everyone knew that Li Laosan's wife was keeping an eye on the Yan family to take advantage of them. As long as there was any movement in the Yan family, she would definitely come more frequently than anyone else.

Of course, this diligence definitely did not mean that she wanted to help someone in need. On the contrary, she just wanted to add insult to injury, and she wanted to lift a big stone to cover the manhole.

"It's okay. It's an old problem. It would be good for me to walk around more." Wei Zhengmao walked slowly to Zhang Xinlian without much difficulty, staring at her indifferently with a pair of eyes soaked by time.

"Enough of the monkey tricks. Tell me! What do you want to do by calling so many of us to the Yan family?" Wei Zhengmao looked down on the Li family, and a big part of the reason was because of Li Laosan's wife.

As an elder, she doesn't act like an elder at all. She always nags and slanders her nephew. Yan Mingli's reputation has been almost ruined by her over the years.

Although they are children of the five categories of elements, hasn’t the country also given them ideological guidance that they are “children who can be educated well”?

And who was it that submitted the letter of accusation to the Revolutionary Committee? He really thought he didn't know. He was already the secretary of Pingshang Brigade at that time, so how could he not have received any news about it?

It’s just that the movements in those years were too brutal, and people were tortured beyond recognition in just a few months.

He secretly ran around and made contacts, but still failed to save Yan Wenzon, and even failed to save Li Xiangcao.

In recent years, the situation has become increasingly clear and policies have become increasingly relaxed, allowing him to privately help the Yan family from time to time.

"Secretary, I want to report them. They secretly ate meat at home." Seeing that it was finally her turn to go on stage again, Zhang Xinlian didn't care about the pain in her mouth and face, and quickly said with a grin.

"Why don't you eat the meat at home, but bring your bowl of vegetables to the brigade headquarters to eat?" Wei Zhengmao had a cold face, pressed the crutch in his hand heavily to the ground, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.

At that time, Zhang Xinlian hurried to Nie's house. Perhaps because she saw him there, she hurriedly said that the Yan family was stealing meat, but she did not specify what kind of meat or how much.

Originally, Nie Hongshan didn't want to get involved. After all, he had just been reprimanded by the commune secretary, and the influence was still there. He was afraid that the matter of eating meat was related to Mo Zhiqing, so he insisted on coming.

First, he didn't want Zhang Xinlian to talk nonsense and incite the emotions of the village members; second, he had to come to support Yan Wenzon's only bloodline and let those malicious members restrain themselves a little; third, he also wanted to see what the educated youth who insisted on coming to Yan's house would be like.

However, Zhang Xinlian's purpose was obviously different. She hated the Yan family. To be more precise, she hated Li Xiangcao. If Li Xiangcao had not interfered, how could it be Li Xiangcao who was engaged to Yan Wenzong? And how could she have planned to marry the cowardly third son of the Li family, who was carefully selected.

She hated the Yan family so much that she wished all of them would die. As long as she could find any weakness in the Yan family, she would never let it go. She would definitely make them sink into the mire so deep that they couldn't even get out.

"She wants the boy from the Yan family to bring the meat to her house." Someone under the courtyard wall said in a muffled voice, causing everyone to laugh.

"Which bastard is talking nonsense? I'll tear his mouth apart." Zhang Xinlian put her hands on her hips, glared angrily, and seemed to be in combat mode.

If anyone dared to answer, she would pounce on them again and pull them shamelessly.

Wei Zhengmao was displeased when he heard Zhang Xinlian's arrogant and cold snort. However, as a grown man, it was not easy for him to argue with a woman, so he said sternly, "Zhang Xinlian, if you have something to say, just say it."

Zhang Xinlian quickly suppressed her fighting spirit and said, "Secretary, I just smelled a strong smell of meat. The Yan family kid must have gone up the mountain to hunt wild animals again. Maybe it's wild goats or wild boars!"

"Squeak..." Zhang Xinlian's words instantly caused a series of gasps to be heard in the yard.

Wild goats? Wild boars? The members of the club all knew the Yan family boy's ability. They might be skeptical when others hunted wild boars, but they were 100% confident when the Yan family boy did it.

However, if the kid from the Yan family really got rid of everyone and kept all the food to himself, then no matter how much we tell him, it will definitely not work.

People can turn a blind eye to catching a pheasant or a rabbit, but no one can pretend not to see the killing of a goat or a wild boar!

Zhang Xinlian saw everyone's sudden change of expression and continued with great satisfaction, "This mountain belongs to the Pingshang Brigade. The wild animals on the mountain are the collective property of the brigade. If he kills the wild animals and doesn't turn them in, he's embezzling collective property, committing a crime, and he should be criticized."

"Auntie, you have to have evidence when you speak. Without evidence, it's slander and rumor-mongering, and it's a false accusation and frame-up." Mo Yutong stood out from behind Yan Mingli, her pretty face full of coldness.

Perhaps the little girl was too cold at the moment, Yan Mingli and Wei Zhengmao both shut their mouths silently. It would be better not to interrupt at this time, so as not to weaken the little girl's momentum.

Although Yan Mingli didn't think that the soft and tender little girl could defeat the powerful Third Aunt, but since the little girl stood up for him, he should cherish her no matter what.

This is a collision of two ideas grown in different environments, and they need constant adjustment and acceptance.

Just like in their previous life, they tolerate each other, love each other, and integrate into each other's lives.

Although the little girl was full of aura, Zhang Xinlian didn't care. To her, evidence or no evidence was unimportant. She just needed to continue to be unreasonable and shouted, "You little girl, you have no right to speak here. Stay away."

What's wrong with girls from the city? The commune secretary is afraid of her, but she is not afraid of him. If she dares to protect the brat from the Yan family, she will scold her until she can no longer hold her head up.
