The acupoint Su Nian chose was on Su's mother's calf. This acupoint had been used to deal with scammers on a traditional Chinese medicine forum, and it had been very effective.
The villagers looked at Su Nian curiously. After she gave her mother a shot, Su's mother, who had just been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly sat up and laughed loudly. While laughing, she scratched her throat. It looked so ugly!
"Oh, is he still pretending to be dead?" People said with disdain, and their contempt for Su's mother had reached its peak.
Hu Hongde held several positions, including the right to detain Su's mother. It happened that Fan Pengjun was stationed in Laowan Township, so he didn't even have to ask for instructions.
Seeing that Su's mother failed to pretend to be dead, Hu Hongde also laughed, "That Su family member, come here quickly and think about how to explain your affairs!"
Su's mother was locked up in disgrace, and the onlookers slowly dispersed. They did not forget to discuss the affairs of the Su family as they walked away!
"Congratulations, you won your first battle!" Chu Beichen reached out and touched Su Nian's hand. "I really didn't expect that you used the opponent's force to counterattack him so well!"
Hu Hongde was feeling like he was facing a great enemy because all the villagers from Laowan Township had flocked to him. If the whole matter was not handled carefully, it would lead to the worsening of conflicts among the people.
Unexpectedly, Su Nian transferred the villagers' anger to Su's mother with just a few words. Now, Hu Hongde took down Su's mother without much effort!
Hu Hongde also laughed and looked at the wild boar's hoof in his hand. "Let's go and deal with this wild boar!"
Su Nian looked at the room where Su's mother was imprisoned and asked Hu Hongde, "Village Chief Hu, are you just going to leave her alone like this?"
"That's right," Hu Hongde explained patiently, "Give her some time. Wait until she's scared enough before asking her. That will be more effective!"
Chu Beichen pulled Su Nian up. He could hardly restrain himself when that old witch slandered Su Nian. He wanted to beat up Su's mother. "Don't bother with her. It's not easy for this matter to get to this point. We need to be patient!"
Su Nian obediently followed Chu Beichen into the house and cooked wild boar meat with Hu Hongde. The three of them boiled water again. After the water boiled, they threw the clean meat pieces into the pot, skimmed off the foam, and added onions, ginger, garlic and star anise.
Hu Hongde took out his corn wine and poured a little into the pot. A strong aroma immediately wafted out. Hu Hongde laughed happily, "Well, I'm in for a treat tonight!"
Su Nian and Chu Beichen saw that Hu Hongde had not slept all night and had been arguing with Su's mother for a long time in the morning, so they told him to go to bed and they would take care of the stewed meat!
"Okay," Hu Hongde also felt a wave of fatigue coming over him. "I'll leave it to you guys to look after. I'm relieved. You're all polite people, you won't steal all the food!"
The stove for stewing meat was still a wood-fired stove. After Chu Beichen fiddled with it for a while, his hands and face were covered with black ash.
Su Nian pushed him out to wash his face. She added firewood and pulled the bellows to make the fire burn brightly. She was about to call Chu Beichen, but when she turned around, she saw him standing at the door with a gloomy look on his face.
"Beichen, what's wrong with you? You look unhappy." Su Nian reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Su Nian, have you been doing these chores since you were a child?" Chu Beichen walked to her side, sat down on the small stool, took out a white handkerchief, and carefully wiped Su Nian's face.
"Hey, what's the big deal? I'm not the only one. All the kids in Laowan Township have been going through this since they were little!" Su Nian disagreed.
"You've suffered," Chu Beichen said with deep eyes, "From now on, just follow me and you won't have to do anything!"
