Lin Lan wanted Han Qingsong and Sanwang to rest for two days. After all, they should not work if they were injured.

Han Qingsong naturally refused. When he was in the army, he was required to stay on the front line even if he was slightly injured. Now that he was working at home and it was not tiring, he naturally wanted to earn work points.

Sanwang thought that his elder brother still had to go to school, so he was naturally embarrassed to ask for leave to rest. It was shameful to make mistakes, so how could he afford to ask for leave? So he also limped to cut grass and go to school.

The treatment he received when being whipped was different from that of Da Wang. After being whipped, Da Wang was immediately promoted to a respected master in the village, but San Wang was made fun of.

"Sanwang, why are you lame? Can you still climb a tree? Let's compete."

Sanwang just laughed and rolled his eyes, "Do you want my brother to take you flying?"

If an adult joked with him, "Hey, Sanwang, didn't you go to look for your parents? Why are you back with a limp? How did you get this?"

Sanwang immediately held out his hand, "I'm here to collect the payment. My parents said you owe my family 200 yuan. When are you going to pay it back?"

Sanwang, who had used his brain, never turned back from his sharp tongue and would scold anyone in the village who tried to provoke him, no matter if they were adults or children.

Those people were so angry that they went to Lin Lan to complain.

Lin Lan hadn't had a chance to settle accounts with them yet, but they still came to complain, thinking that she was a fake wife? So they took advantage of the mobilization to scold them on the spot.

"This propaganda is aimed at you adults. Don't be so frivolous. Do you think you are great just because you have lived a few more years and eaten a few more years of food? Do you think you can do whatever you want with your children?"

The members didn't understand why Captain Lin suddenly changed her style. Before, she was always smiling and speaking softly, making people forget that she was a prostitute. But today she suddenly became so sharp that they felt that the prostitute was still the same prostitute.

"Propaganda Officer Lin, what are you talking about? What happened to our children?" someone asked.

Lin Lan snorted, "Chang Fuyu, you still have the nerve to ask? Count how many children you have lied to, saying that you picked it up, caught it from the river, or exchanged it with beggars for a big cake?"

Chang Fuyu was very unconvinced, "You are too serious. Everyone says so, it's just a joke, who would take it seriously?"

Lin Lan: "You didn't take it seriously when you were little? You think you are more knowledgeable than children now that you are a few years older?" She glanced at everyone, "Wrong! Besides working in the fields, what else can you do? Gossip about your wife? Take advantage of the daughters and daughters-in-law by saying dirty words? Or just coax the children?"

Chang Fuyu's face turned purple. What was going on? Was he poisoned? Did he offend her? Why was she holding on to him?

Lin Lan waved to the children nearby, "Come, let me ask you, how did you get here? Who got it by picking it up or exchanging it?"

The children rushed to grab it and said, "I picked it up!" "My parents traded half a bag of kaoliang rice with a beggar!" "I..."

The parents present were very embarrassed. They were just teasing their children, and everyone was doing the same thing. Why did Lin Lan take it so seriously? It was too funny.

Seeing that they only had angry and shameful expressions without any remorse, Lin Lan said: "You are worse than children. Children will change when they know they are doing something wrong. When you were little, you were teased like this and you were unhappy. Now you tease children like this again?" How confident are you that you love and care for your children that they will not run away from home to find their biological parents when you treat them badly?

Either they favor sons over daughters, or they are partial to the younger sons and daughters. Almost no parents can treat their children fairly. It is inevitable that they will be partial to one and neglect the other or beat and scold them. Then the child will yearn for a parent who loves him more and is richer.

Of course, even if the children of these families run away from home, they would not take it seriously. They would just think, "What a little brat, what are you doing? Where can you go? You just went out for a walk and came back because you had nowhere to go."

After Lin Lan’s serious propaganda for a few days, the children in Shanzui Village finally knew that they were not adopted but were the biological children of their parents.

Most adults realize their mistakes and try not to say or say less such words to deceive children.

This is good for most children, but for a small number of children, it also destroys their hopes. Because their parents are not good to them, they hope to have better parents to pick them up, but now they know that they will never have such parents again.

Lin Lan would tell them, "There is no one better to pick you up except to become a better version of yourself."

There is no need to give too much longing and hope to girls who work hard in the fields and cannot leave the mountain villages. It is good enough for them to face the reality and be down-to-earth as much as possible, protect themselves better and have a safe childhood and adolescence.

After all, girls who have dreams in their hearts are the easiest to be deceived. A few nice words from a village bachelor, some food, or a handkerchief will make them come close to him involuntarily, and even deceive him into taking their body.

During the period when Shanzui Village was promoting this, there were also cases of missing children in nearby brigades. It was nothing more than parents being partial to their children and punishing them unfairly, and the children could not stand it and quietly ran away from home. These children did not have open-minded parents, and after returning home, they were either severely punished or treated with more cold eyes.

Therefore, most of the girls in Shanzui Village were grateful to Lin Lan for the publicity she gave them.

Sanwang felt really uncomfortable for several days after being whipped, after all, he was whipped eight times. He asked Dawang for advice on what to do when he felt numbness, soreness, and itching.

Da Wang said coldly: "Fight me again."

Sanwang: "Haha, haha. I really am out of my mind."

Ever since Sanwang became lively again, the home has returned to its lively state. During the two days after the accident, Sanwang was like a bullied daughter-in-law, with his head hung and not a word. The atmosphere at home was depressing, and Mai Sui and Erwang felt that it was not like a home at all, and they especially hoped that it could return to the way it was before.

Even if Sanwang is a little noisy, it is better than being dumb and silent.

Now he is still cheerful, but not so naughty anymore, and everyone thinks that’s great!

After a few days, Sanwang's buttocks were almost healed. He just limped for a few days. Children tend to develop habits, so even if it doesn't hurt, they still limp habitually. Lin Lan asked everyone in the family to remind him if they saw him and help him correct this habit.

After the precious spring rain, Shanzui Village immediately entered the busiest period of spring planting. There is a shortage of water in spring, so once it rains, we have to rush to plant, because planting crops is done according to the solar terms. If we are late, the yield will be greatly reduced. All the men, women, young and old in the village joined the battle. Unless they could not move, all the old and young people came to help. Han Qingping also brought students to help.

Erwang and Dawang followed the adults, while Mai Sui took Sanwang and Xiaowang and followed Teacher Han to have fun.

Sanwang limped but was not lazy, he even took the initiative to help the girls carry things. Although he was naughty, he was popular in school, especially the two little girls who were teased by him with bugs and canary ears. They felt sorry for him being beaten and took the initiative to help him with the work.

Of course, there were also some naughty boys who made fun of Sanwang and provoked him when Dawang and Erwang were not around.

"Sanwang, your butt must have been beaten to pieces, haha."

"Sanwang, I caught a bug, do you dare to eat it?"

Sanwang glanced at them and asked, "Do you dare?"

The child said proudly, "Of course I dare. I don't think you dare."

Sanwang rolled his eyes and said, "Would you like to eat one and let me see?"

The child pretended to open his mouth and put a white worm in his hand, "Look, I dare to do it, but you definitely don't."

Sanwang raised his hand and with a "pop" the big white insect landed on the boy's elbow. The insect flew out of his hand and directly into the boy's throat.

"Ah—Gah! Gah!" He bent over and held his throat.

Sanwang: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you really eating? I thought you were just pretending. You are really awesome. I admire you!" I just have some water in my brain, I'm not stupid.

Several girls laughed, "You deserved it, you're looking for trouble. You thought Sanwang was a fool!"

Wheat Ear was planting seeds when he heard the noise and came over to see what was happening. He also scolded the boy, "You deserve it, since you want to eat bugs so badly, I'll feed you a bowl of them later."

Sanwang: "Sister, take the bugs back and feed them to the chickens to lay eggs. It won't be wasted if he eats them."

Mai Sui suppressed his laughter and said, "Your butt is healed now, why is it still limping? It looks as ugly as a flat mouth."

Sanwang: "It's itchy, sore, and painful right now, and it's even more uncomfortable, and I can't scratch." He's limping now not because of the real pain, but because it's itchy, and he's too embarrassed to stretch, so he can only rely on limping to rub his pants to relieve the itch. "Sister, do you think adults get beaten the same way as we do? Does Dad dare not lie down to sleep at night, and can only lie on his stomach like me?"

Children are curious about adults and always think that adults are strong and not afraid of pain or fatigue, especially Han Qingsong, who didn't even frown when he was whipped. If his father was the same as him, he would have a very strange feeling.

Mai Sui poked him with a finger and said, "If you have the guts, go ask yourself."

Sanwang: "I can ask my mother."

He looked over and saw Lin Lan planting seeds over there, drinking water with Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang was carrying a military water bottle and was responsible for bringing them water, shuttling around in the fields like a little bee.

Among the gray adults and children who almost blended into the yellow earth, Sanwang felt that his younger brother was as good-looking as the blue sky and white clouds above his head, so handsome!

Ever since Xiaowang fell into the water, Sanwang got into the habit of looking at his younger brother with his eyes every day to make sure he didn't get lost or bumped.

This is my biological child!

Sanwang went to find Lin Lan and Xiaowang, and Xiaowang immediately gave them the water bottle, "Little San brother, drink some water."

She brought the hawthorn and red date tea cooked by Lin Lan.

Sanwang drank a small cup and said, "It's so sweet!"

Lin Lan looked at him: "Does it still hurt? Why are you still limping?"

Sanwang asked Xiaowang to block him and took the opportunity to rub his buttocks, "Mom, does my dad still feel pain?"

Lin Lan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You care a lot, why don't you go and ask yourself?"

Sanwang just hehehehe.

When he went back to work, he saw Yanyan and Caihua waving at Maisui, but Maisui was busy and didn't notice.

Sanwang saw it with his sharp eyes and poked Mai Sui: "Sister, they are not from our production team, why are they here?"

Mai Sui looked over and saw them waving at him, so he ran over to take a look.

Yanyan whispered, "Mai Sui, tell Teacher Lin that Xingfu's mother and aunt, as well as my grandma, are going to report you to the Party Secretary."

Mai Sui said angrily, "They are still going strong, aren't they? This is hilarious. Thank you, I'll go tell my mom."

Yanyan and Caihua left quietly, and Mai Sui ran back to tell Lin Lan.

After listening to this, Lin Lan said: "Don't worry about it. Let them make trouble and see what the branch secretary says first." If they have the guts, they can come to me and Han Qingsong. If they don't dare to fight, then they can go to the branch secretary and see how he will mediate.

Lin Lan still went to find Dong Huaihua and asked her to help find out. Soon Dong Huaihua came back and couldn't help but laugh at Lin Lan: "You said it's weird, Sanwang and Xiaowang got cramps and fell into the river, they should have been scared. But Dawei and Xingfu are such big kids, but they are scared to death now."

Sanwang and Xiaowang are fine now, but Dawei and Xingfu are in trouble.

After being kicked into the river by Da Wang and then rescued, Xingfu and Da Wei were so scared that they peed themselves. After returning home, they also started to have a fever. However, they are old after all, not as fierce as Xiao Wang, and the fever will be almost gone after two days of taking a pill.

The body recovered, but the mental trauma remained. After all, they didn't have a mother like Lin Lan who could provide psychological counseling.

The two had nightmares every night, like frightened birds. In the middle of the night, Xingfu suddenly jumped up and cried, "Brother Dawang, Brother Dawang, spare my life, spare my life! I won't dare to do it again!" Dawei was trembling and crying in his sleep, "Uncle Dawang, spare my life, spare my life... I won't dare to do it again."

The first two days were still acceptable, but how many days have passed? Sanwang's butt is healed!

The two families secretly hired people to scare the sick, call the soul back, use acupuncture, scraping, cupping... They tried every trick, but nothing worked.

Now it is even worse. Xingfu and Dawei dare not go out. They cannot bear to hear people say the words "river", "downstream", "Sanwang", "Dawang" and "Xiaowang".

In the end, it got worse and worse, and even the sound of dogs barking was unacceptable!

It's killing me. I'm exhausted during the busy spring season. How can I sleep if they keep howling in the middle of the night?

The neighbors protested.

How can this be possible!

Zhao Guilian went to cry to her sister, and Zhao Guixiang cried with Han Qingfeng and Han Yonglu.

She had been taking medicine but couldn't get pregnant. Later, she was a little discouraged and thought that if it really didn't work, she would adopt a child. But she refused to accept the child of her husband's brother. The relationship between her and her sisters-in-law was not good, and she was not happy to raise a child for them, so she wanted her own sister's child. But if the child was too young, she was impatient to raise it herself, so she wanted a worry-free and sensible one. Xingfu was a sensible child since she was young, but a little narrow-minded. When she was seven or eight years old, she often went to live in Zhao Guixiang's house.

Zhao Guixiang already treated him as her own son. If she still didn't have a child by the time she was forty, she would pass on her happiness to him and help him find a wife, so that the grandson would be her own.

How could she know that happiness was frightened to the point of dying? How could she bear it?

Zhao Guixiang saw that her nephew was so frightened that he dared not go out. She clapped her hands in anger and said, "This is unacceptable. We need to ask them to judge the matter."

She dragged Zhao Guilian to find Sun Aifeng again, "Why are you so cowardly? You were bullied like this, but you still hold it in and don't complain? Let's go and complain to the Party Secretary."

"Forget about it. The branch secretary won't care." But Sun Aifeng didn't dare to. The branch secretary and Director Han's family had a very good relationship, so naturally he would protect them.

"Why are you so cowardly? If the Party Secretary doesn't care, I'll go to the commune. If the commune doesn't care, I'll go to the county. If the county doesn't care, I'll go to Chairman M!" Zhao Guixiang put aside her bold words, "Is there no one left in your Liu family? All dead? Where are the men?"

Sun Aifeng's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, ran out and asked, "Why are you talking like that?"

Zhao Guixiang: "What can I say? I'm doing this for your own good. Why are we just going to suffer for nothing? Are we afraid of him?"

Wu Pozi is Yanyan's grandmother. She is also a troublemaker. She favors boys over girls and is very mean to her grandson. But she is just an ordinary old lady after all. She is good at being a boss at home, but she doesn't have the confidence to be a boss outside. Now that Zhao Guixiang is taking the lead, she naturally wants to make trouble and support her grandson.

"Our Dawei has ruined us. We dare not sleep at night and we are afraid of hearing dogs barking all day long..." He is still incontinent and wets his pants when he is scared. But he was terribly frightened by Dawang, the damn King Yan.

If this continues, the child will be ruined, so of course we can't just let it go.

But her two sons only schemed for their own family members. They acted like the fathers in front of their wives and children, and smiled at everyone they met when they went out.

It's definitely not possible to rely on them.

Since the men were all at work, Zhao Guixiang took Zhao Guilian, Sun Aifeng, and Mrs. Wu with her, and also wanted to take Mrs. Wu's other daughters-in-law with her.

Yanyan's mother, Wu Caixian, hesitated and refused to leave.

Mrs. Wu scolded her: "Your nephew was beaten up, how can you, as a queen, just ignore it?"

Yanyan's mother wanted to save face and wanted to join the fight. Fights in the countryside usually go like this, with a few people leading the fight and the others mostly just there to support the fight.

When Yanyan heard the news, she ran back and pulled her mother, "Mom, you can't go."

Zhao Guixiang: "Hey, this is really a betrayal. I'm afraid that the girl is too old to be kept and has fallen for that brat Dawang."

Yanyan was so embarrassed that her face turned red. "You, what nonsense are you talking about. It's obviously my brother and the others who are wrong, and you are still making trouble. This is not..."

With a "slap", Mrs. Wu slapped her granddaughter and said, "It's nothing. You bitch, you're asking for a beating." Mrs. Wu didn't want to lose face in front of Zhao Guixiang.

Yanyan was beaten and cried.

Caihua ran over, pulled Yanyan out, hid aside and whispered: "Are you stupid? If you want to be a good person, you have to do it in front of others. How can you get beaten here?"

Yanyan didn't think of currying favor with others. She cried, "It's obviously my brother and his fault. Why do you have to pick a fight with them? It's so embarrassing."

"It's not your fault that this will bring shame upon you, so why do you care about them? Let them go. Your grandmother and your brother will suffer then. Isn't that better?" Caihua advised her.

Yanyan still couldn't come to terms with it.

Caihua said, "If you don't let Dawei suffer, are you going to let him and Xingfu bully you? Do you want to marry Xingfu at the age of 15?"

Yanyan was so scared that she kept shaking her head, "I don't want to!"

"Then it's over. Just listen to me. I'm doing this for your own good. Dawei and Xingfu have offended the Han family, and they will suffer the consequences. If they are in trouble in the future, you will be better off."

Yanyan thought about it and nodded, but she still felt it was not a good idea, so she wanted to secretly tell Mai Sui the news.

Caihua knew what she meant and smiled, "That's right. When you do a favor, you should let the other person know. I appreciate your kindness. Let's go together."

So there was the scene where Yanyan gave Mai Sui the news.

Zhao Guixiang led a group of women to file a complaint. They did not believe Liu Guifa, so they went to find the branch secretary and the team leader.

But they were all busy working at the time. Even though Han Yongfang was the branch secretary, he was still busy working. How could he have the time to entertain them?

Seeing Zhao Guixiang's aggressive look, Han Yongfang frowned and said in a rough voice, "If you have anything to say, talk to me after work!"

Zhao Guixiang had been preparing to file a complaint against Lin Lan, but was suddenly left out like this. She felt like she had two cannonballs that suddenly went silent, and she was feeling very suffocated.

The captain also said with a sullen face, "It doesn't matter what time it is. I'm busy farming. I don't have time to chat with you. Let's talk when we're free."

Han Yongfang glanced at them and asked, "Which production team are you from? Is the production team leader dead? Are they done for? If they delay planting crops, I will deduct food from you all!"

Zhao Guixiang was furious when she saw Han Yongfang deliberately ignoring her. She stood with her hands on her hips, jumped up and sang at the top of her lungs: "The Party Secretary of Shanzui Village is protecting bad elements. It's unacceptable for officials to protect each other——"

The tone of her voice was so similar to that of a mourning song in an opera that it frightened the working members so much that their scalps almost exploded.

Han Yongfang got furious at that time. He snatched the whip from the captain's waist, whipped it with a bang, and rushed towards Zhao Guixiang.

Zhao Guixiang immediately ran away when she saw this, howling as she ran: "The secretary is beating people, the secretary is beating people!"

The captain hurriedly persuaded Han Yongfang.

He understood the temper of the branch secretary. They had worked together for a lifetime. Although Han Yongfang was a domineering person, he never bent the law for personal gain or harmed others for his own benefit. Other branch secretaries would work off their land all day to try to gain benefits, but he would follow them to work in the fields every day and never slack off. But he was really domineering. Once the rules were set, he would not recognize anyone who violated them.

The rule in the village is that during the busy farming season, everything is based on planting and harvesting crops, because if you can't plant, the crops won't grow, and everyone will go hungry.

Some people are selfish and don't think about the overall situation. They only care about their own little things.

Because of your noise, the crops of the whole village will be delayed. Then the whole village will not have enough food and will starve?

Therefore, Han Yongfang particularly dislikes these troublemakers and wishes to beat them to death.

Finally, Han Qingsong heard the news and rushed over. He advised Han Yongfang not to be angry, "If necessary, let the Public Security Bureau send someone."

Zhao Guixiang shouted, "What Public Security Bureau? Aren't you the one who has the final say? Han Qingyun doesn't listen to you? That Luo Haicheng doesn't listen to you? Who dares not to listen to you?"

Han Qingsong didn't even bother to look at her, and said coldly: "Originally, I thought this was just a case of children being naughty, and each family just needs to take good care of their children. But you're making such a fuss, and I feel that things are not that simple. Let's have a team meeting after work tonight."

Hearing what Han Qingsong said, Han Yongfang snorted, "It's dark and we're done. Everyone should hurry up and eat. The team will have a meeting at 7:30!"

After saying that, he left angrily.

Zhao Guixiang and others saw Han Qingsong said that they would hold a meeting to confront him in the evening, so they jumped around to pick up people and wanted to give Han Qingsong a hard time. Maybe they could even get rid of this director!

Han Yonglu pretended not to know and told his son Han Qingfeng not to interfere.

Before work was over in the afternoon, Lin Lan asked Mai Sui to take Sanwang and Xiaowang home to cook. They only needed to make steamed buns, stir-fry some vegetables and stew some pickled vegetables. It was very simple. This way, the others could eat as soon as they got home, instead of waiting until 7 or 8 o'clock like some other families.

Lin Lan has been living a comfortable life these days. Although the work is tiring, she can earn work points and food by doing publicity. Han Qingsong takes his salary and goes home to earn work points for her. Now she has one less thing to worry about: her five children.

Unexpectedly, someone would come to trouble her. Just when she had finished dealing with Sanwang, she had time to settle accounts with those naughty parents! Where there are naughty children, there are naughty parents!

When the time came, Lin Lan and Han Qingsong took their children to the brigade headquarters, just like they were leading a group of boy scouts.

She originally wanted to let Mai Sui take Xiao Wang to sleep at home. After all, he was young and didn't understand anything. Besides, he usually went to bed at eight o'clock. She didn't know what time they would stay up now, which would disturb the child's sleep.

But Xiaowang insisted on going, because his third brother told him, "Let's go fight together!" He felt a surge of fighting spirit in his little chest, and although he didn't understand what it was, he just wanted to follow his parents.

Sanwang held his hand and walked in front of him, howling, "Diao Deyi, what evil intention does he have?"

As long as he was not drunk, he could remember no more than five lines of opera lyrics.

Xiaowang giggled.

They didn't feel nervous at all, instead they felt like they were Boy Scouts!

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Zhao Guixiang and others were already blocking the way there, howling and looking arrogant.

She sneered, "Being an official is so great. You have such a big face to make so many people wait for you!"

Lin Lan: "I bought a watch last year."

The author has something to say: Director Han: My wife is still very angry, and you guys are teasing her at the right time. Here’s the whip, no thanks!

Xiaowang: It feels so good to have my parents and the whole family supporting me!
