The old ladies in the village begged Jiang Chunzao for a long time, but she still had a cold and indifferent look on her face. One of the smart women spoke up:
"Shitou Niang, look, if we help you carry your things home, does that count as atonement for your sin?"
"Yes, Shitou Niang, look at how many things you bought, including food and cotton fabrics. You can't move all of them by yourself, and you have to wait for Brother Lu Lin to pick you up. Why don't we help you move them all home?"
When the other women heard this, they quickly echoed it.
Hmm? Help her carry her stuff home?
That's a good idea.
Jiang Chunzao glanced at the things piled on the roadside and raised her eyebrows. If it weren't for these women trying too hard to steal her things today, she wouldn't be so angry. She would have just taught these women a lesson and that would have been the end of it.
Unexpectedly, these women were willing to do the hard labor to help her move the things back home. In that case, thank you very much.
Jiang Chunzao nodded and readily agreed to the proposal. However, he was still worried and asked, "Everyone has bought things from the county and brought them back home. If you help me move the things, what about the things we bought?"
When Lu Changshan's wife heard this, she volunteered:
"It's okay, I'm here, I'll take care of everyone's stuff!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chunzao thanked Lu Changshan's wife sweetly.
When the group of elderly people saw Jiang Chunzao nodded, they knew that she was going to let them go, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to help Jiang Chunzao move things home.
The thin-faced woman was still crying with her face covered. Lu Changshan's wife went up to her and nudged her with her elbow, saying idly:
"You bastard, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and help my sister Chunzao move her things home, or else if Chunzao goes to the captain and tells him about what happened today, you'll be in big trouble. What do you want to do? Think about it carefully."
The man the thin-faced woman married was called Lu Gousheng, and people in the village usually called her Gousheng's family. This Lu Gousheng wife used to like taking advantage of others in the village. Whenever someone in the village had something good, she would shamelessly go up and take advantage of it. These days, life is hard for everyone, and if other people have good things and don't keep them for their own family, why should they give them to you?
What good is she thinking? This Lugousheng wife can't get any benefits from anyone in the village, so she just hangs around people's doorsteps with a sour face. People who don't know her would think that she has suffered some injustice when they see her like this. Her annoying look makes the villagers in Lujia Village very annoyed.
This Lu Gousheng wife was punched by Jiang Chunzao, and her face was still burning with pain. After hearing what Lu Changshan's wife said, she became furious and pinched her nose as she spoke:
"What? Lu Changshan's wife, did I hear you correctly? Jiang Chunzao just punched me, and my face is still hurting like fire. It's good enough that I don't go to Jiang Chunzao to settle the score, but you still want me to help her. I'm a bastard, so what? Why should I go? I won't go!"
Lu Changshan's wife had long guessed that Lu Gousheng's family would not obediently help move things. She glanced at Jiang Chunzao who was busy directing the women to move things home not far away, and thought that Chunzao and her husband had just helped her, so this time she should help Chunzao and help her clean up Lu Gousheng's family!
Lu Changshan's wife made up her mind and spat at Lu Gousheng's wife who was sniffing at her. She started to spit at her:
"Bah! How dare you say such a thing? You still want to settle the score with me, Chunzao sister. Do you have the nerve to do that? Why are you so thick-skinned? Why did I, Chunzao sister, beat you? Don’t you know what’s wrong? If you hadn’t been so cruel and wanted to steal other people’s things, I, Chunzao sister, would never have hit you.
"Okay! You don't want to help, right? Let's go! Let's go to the captain and talk about this matter and see what he will do to you!"
When Lu Gousheng's wife heard that they had to go see the captain, she was immediately frightened. Why did she have to go to the captain for such a small matter? The captain did not have a good temper.
I heard that the higher-ups are doing some kind of activity to encourage people to obey the law and get along well with their neighbors. If the captain knew that she was making trouble at this critical moment, he would definitely hold a meeting to punish her.
When Lu Gousheng's wife thought about this, sweat started to fall from her forehead. She immediately smiled at Lu Changshan's wife in a flattering way:
"Well, Sister Changshan, I just said that casually. How can I not help? I will help. I will help. I will go and help Sister Chunzao move the things."
After saying this, Lu Gousheng's wife ran to help Jiang Chunzao move things. Jiang Chunzao was almost done here and was about to pack up and go home with the remaining bags. When she turned around, she saw the thin and long-faced woman who she had punched in front of her running towards her and saying that she wanted to help her carry the things.
Jiang Chunzao was not polite at all and directly stuffed the big bag in his hand to the thin-faced woman. The big bag contained more than 20 kilograms of cotton and 10 kilograms of flour bought from the county town. The bag was very heavy and it was almost impossible to hold it in Lu Gousheng's wife's hands.
Lu Gousheng's wife, carrying the heavy burden on her back, cursed the Jiang family's ancestors for eighteen generations in hatred in her heart.

It was almost dark now. The men in the village had just finished work. The women in the village had also finished work with their children and went home to cook. The young wives and grandmothers in the village had prepared the meal and would sit on a stool at the doorstep, mending shoe soles while waiting for their husbands to come home for dinner.
In Lujia Village, smoke was rising from cooking fires and the aroma of rice was wafting from every household. The men who had just finished work were walking in the village, and each of them smelled the aroma and their stomachs began to growl.
Lu Gousheng was carrying a hoe and following the villagers home. As he walked, he saw a group of old women walking in front of him with bags in their hands. He grinned and said to Old Man Deng beside him:
"Uncle Deng, look at those silly old ladies in front of you. What are they doing?"
Old Man Deng also glanced forward and grinned with his toothless mouth:
"It's no use asking me about this. Isn't your wife there too?"
Lu Gousheng's grinning face froze:
Yes, isn’t that coquettish old lady walking in front with her fat butt twirling her hands his wife?
~
Jiang Chunzao led a group of old ladies on their way home. There were many people in the village at that time. Many young wives gathered in groups of three or five, sewing insoles at the doorsteps of their homes. Seeing this group of people carrying things in the village, they laughed and whispered to the people around them:
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Who knows? There is also a Lu Gou Sheng among these people. It is certain that nothing good will happen if she is around."
"Who says it's not?"
The young wives in the village gathered together to whisper this, and when a group of old women heard it, they blushed with embarrassment. They glared at the thin-faced woman with hatred. If it weren't for this stinky old woman, they wouldn't have been so embarrassed!
Lu Gousheng's wife felt the gazes of others and was so scared that she lowered her head and walked at the back, not even daring to raise her head.
Jiang Chunzao didn't care about the stares of the villagers. She was thinking about her family and wanted to get home as soon as possible. After walking for a while, they met Lu Lin who came to pick them up halfway.
In front, Lu Lin took his children back home and settled them down. Thinking of his wife waiting for him at the village entrance, he immediately walked towards the village entrance with his long legs. Unexpectedly, when he was halfway there, he ran into his wife leading a group of people, carrying large and small bags and walking towards the house.
Lu Lin came over with a misty look in his eyes, full of doubts:
"What is this?"
Jiang Chunzao followed his gaze and said slowly:
"Nothing, we just bought a lot of stuff in the city today, and the sisters-in-law are helping us move the stuff home in style." After saying this, she turned her gaze to the women and said with a smile:
"Is that so?"
"Yes, Chunzao is right. We are trying to help in a stylish way."
"Yes, yes, help, help."
A group of women blushed and nodded awkwardly.
Lu Lin: …………
~
With this group of "stylish" women helping them move their things home, Jiang Chunzao and Lu Lin felt a lot more relaxed.
Originally, the thin-faced woman was not willing to help move things. When she saw Lu Lin coming, she muttered to the other women:
"Now that Lu Lin is here, let him move the things back home. He's a grown man, he can't let a group of women do the work, right? Jiang Chunzao should know her limits when it comes to caring for her man, right?"
The woman next to him also had the same idea in her mind. Lu Lin wanted to come up to help, but Jiang Chunzao got angry first. She grabbed Lu Lin and glared at him with her beautiful eyes:
"Why, I just feel bad for my man! If you have any opinions, let's go talk to the captain!"
When the old ladies heard this, they immediately pretended to be deaf and dumb and kept silent. What a joke! Why did they help Jiang Chunzao move things back home? Wasn't it just to coax her into not telling the team leader what happened today?
Seeing that the group of old women had become obedient, Jiang Chunzao snorted coldly and let go of Lu Lin's hand. However, as soon as she let go, the man's big hand grabbed hers again and she couldn't pull it apart.
Jiang Chunzao looked over in confusion, only to see Lu Lin's dark eyes sparkling with tenderness and love in them that almost melted her.
Hehe, my wife just said it herself, she feels sorry for him!
~
With his wife's words, Lu Lin looked at Jiang Chunzao with eyes full of pampering and tenderness all night, which made Grandma Jiang unable to stay around. After the family had dinner, Grandma Jiang quickly gave the two grandchildren a bath. After the bath water was ready, she took Shitou and Xiao Moli to her room to sleep.
That night, the company commander, who had been hungry for a long time, finally had sex. He hugged his wife sweetly until late at night, and was reluctant to let go until they both fell asleep exhausted.
