"Don't pretend. Your family's grain must have been taken from the brigade. Who knows how much you've embezzled over the years."
"The workers from your family who wanted their jobs this year have all been given to the brigade as compensation. We'll discuss the future after Wei Changgen gives us an answer."
Finally, the old Party Secretary made the final decision and prepared to take away the remaining grain from the Wei family.
"We can't live like this! This is forcing our whole family to die!" In the end, Huang Cuifen couldn't take it anymore and slammed her head against the stone door, bleeding profusely on the spot.
"Mother, mother..."
"You're killing us! You've taken our grain and our work points from the production brigade. How are we supposed to survive?"
"Do you have any evidence that my father stole grain from the brigade? He was the one who decided what grain was in the brigade."
"Every year when all that grain comes out, do all those people at the brigade headquarters die? Don't you know whether there's a shortage or not?"
“Our family just sells our own grain. If we were really that capable, would we be living like this? Eating plain water every day, what do we eat that no one around can smell?”
"If we had money and food, why would we need to work in the fields for work points? Couldn't we just stay at home and lie down?"
“You all take advantage of our family’s downfall and my father’s misfortune to bully us.”
"Our family is already in such dire straits, and you still want to pressure us. Now that you've driven my mother to this state, are you satisfied?"
“If anything really happens to my mother, you are all murderers. I will sue you. I want to see if any girls or boys in your brigade will dare to marry into your family in the future.”
Seeing that her home was in chaos, Su Nianyou had no choice but to step forward and confront these people. She was a city girl who had seen the world in her previous life, so why would she be afraid of them?
Seeing Huang Cuifen lying there groaning with a large crater on her head, and hearing what Wei Laosan's family had said, the team members felt very guilty.
“The disciplinary committee said that Wei Changgen sold grain. Where did that grain come from? We also came here when your family split up a while ago.”
“Even if your family didn’t eat or drink anything after all the grain was distributed, you wouldn’t have that much left.” The old Party Secretary was the most indignant of them all.
The Wei family was selling grain and swindling money from Su, the educated youth. They clearly had money, but they just wouldn't give him fifty yuan.
Others might be afraid of being sued, but their family isn't. They ruined their daughter's life, and no matter how much they argue, they're in the wrong.
"Didn't you see that it's all old grain? That's what my parents saved up. It's all because of people like you that they forced them to sell the life-saving grain they had secretly hidden at home."
"My father is in jail now trying to pay back your money, and you're still pressuring us? Are you even human?"
Su Nianyou had no idea where the grain came from; she felt that this house was full of secrets.
She had to stay calm and ask him properly later. Even if Wei Changgen fell, there was still Wei Baidao.
The team members also realized that Wei Changgen only went to sell grain the day after the Jin family and the Party Secretary's family came to make trouble. It was really a heartless thing to do.
The old Party Secretary never expected Wei Laosan's wife to be so eloquent. Seeing that the team members were all silent, he knew that continuing the conversation would only bring him trouble.
"Don't leave! You say my family harmed your daughter, but look at my mother now. If anything happens to her, who will take responsibility?"
"Your family's lives are precious, but ours aren't? You think you're the only ones causing trouble? If you don't give us an explanation, we'll go to your house tomorrow and try to kill ourselves."
Su Nianyou used to be smart enough to scheme against Su Ti, and she managed to pretend that no one noticed when she was in Shanghai. She did have some brains.
"So what do you want? We'll return the money and food to you. No matter what, Wei Changgen was wrong to begin with."
The old Party Secretary's words lacked conviction. This was wrong, but it wasn't just Wei Changgen who did it. Which family in their brigade hadn't secretly gone to the black market?
They were just lucky and never got caught.
“I don’t want anything, but you all owe the Wei family a life from now on. You also have to take responsibility for my mother’s condition. If her brain is really damaged and she can’t move, you will be responsible to the end.”
Su Nianyou recalled the threats they had made against her family, but now she was returning those threats to them.
Many people in the brigade ran away when they realized something was wrong, leaving only a few conspicuous households with nowhere to run.
The Jin family and the old Party Secretary's family were the first to be affected, and they looked at the Wei family members with dismay.
"We were just too angry when we heard the news." The Jin family also felt guilty; who wouldn't get excited when it comes to food?
"If it really doesn't work out, then forget it. Our family doesn't need your family to compensate us. No matter what happens with Huang Cuifen, don't come looking for us again."
Seeing Huang Cuifen's weak breathing, Jin Jianguo's mother wondered if she would not make it through.
Her family's Jian Guo only suffered minor injuries; he wasn't afraid of dying.
After Jin Jianguo's mother finished speaking, the old Party Secretary had no choice but to speak up as well: "We'll let it go, we won't bother you anymore, but you shouldn't come looking for us either."
The old Party Secretary was also afraid that the Wei family would try to extort them. Now that Wei Changgen was in jail, the whole family had no hope left.
If Huang Cuifen gets into any more trouble, the rest of them will really hold a grudge against their family!
Hitting your head could be a serious matter if you're not careful, so they don't dare to gamble.
After saying this, the two families left without waiting for the Wei family to say anything more, and ran away after throwing down the money and grain.
After everyone left, Su Nianyou finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see the surprised looks on everyone else's faces.
"Wife, I didn't realize you were so amazing." Wei Baidao wasn't one to argue with others, feeling it would be embarrassing.
Like his father, he thought that his mother could handle such shameful things, but he didn't expect that after his mother took care of it, Su Nianyou would get back up.
"It's alright!" Su Nianyou was taken aback, realizing that this was the first time Wei Baidao had called her "wife." Did he know how capable she was?
She knew it! So what if he's the male lead? She's a time traveler. A mere male lead is nothing to her.
"Third brother's wife, thank goodness for you, otherwise our family would be finished." Huang Cuifen covered her head, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
She dared not move, so she quickly asked her eldest son to help her into the house, and then asked his wife to get some herbs to stop the bleeding.
She can't bleed, otherwise she'll have to eat so much good food to make up for it!
As Wei Baide helped the person up, he turned around and glanced at Su Nianyou. People from the city are indeed different.
The second son's family is powerful, and the third son's family is powerful too. How come he's so unlucky that he couldn't marry a city wife?
The eldest son's limelight has been stolen by the third son.
"Wife, you must be tired. Sit down and rest." Wei Baidao saw the look in his older brother's eyes and knew that he envied him.
His older brother had no idea that his wife loved him to death and had sacrificed a lot to be with him.
He was able to marry such a wife because he was outstanding enough; in this respect, his older brother was not as good as him.
