Okura's face turned pale with pain.

First, Da Wang hit him in the mouth with a stone from a slingshot, and blood started to flow out immediately. Then he was kicked in the chest, and the pain almost made him faint. How could he speak?

The fifteen-year-old Okura was kicked over by the twelve-year-old Da Wang with one kick, and everyone present gasped.

Dawei was frightened by the murderous Dawang and stood there in a daze. Facing the evil spirit he feared the most, he dared not move at all. Now he was so scared that he wet his pants. The nightmare that had almost been over was aggravated. He sat on the ground and cried loudly. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this kid was doomed.

Mrs. Wu and Sun Aifeng were crying and shouting in anxiety because Liu Wenhu was captured. Now, seeing Dacang being kicked to the point of vomiting blood, they were so scared that they cried and tried to beat Dawang and pull him away.

Da Wang frowned and said coldly: "Get out of here! Believe it or not, I will destroy him!"

The two women didn't dare to move and started crying to Lin Lan again.

Erwang carried Xiaowang on his back, Maisui led Sanwang, and several children stood beside Lin Lan, cheering for Dawang.

Sanwang shouted, "You deserve a beating, I'll satisfy you!"

Xiaowang: "Satisfy you!"

Seeing the children running to her to support her waist, Lin Lan smiled and said softly, "Mom didn't suffer any loss. Okay, let's go home."

Da Wang heard Lin Lan's voice and then retracted his foot. He glanced at Da Cang on the ground with contempt, "Don't let me hear you make a sound! I'll beat you if I hear you make a sound!"

Okura lay on the ground, coughing and coughing, but he dared not say a word. As long as Da Wang was around, he had to remain silent.

Da Wang glanced at him as he left. Da Wei was already scared to death, and now he thought he was looking at him, and he was so nervous that he fainted.

Lin Lan took the children home.

On the way, Sanwang chattered to Lin Lan, "Mom, we didn't see you when we got home from school. We knew you were out promoting the company so you stayed home and worked hard. My big brother, Xiaowang, and I were chopping branches. Xiaowang has good ears and heard people say that mom was fighting in the back. When my big brother heard it, he excitedly grabbed his slingshot and ran away. He ran so fast that we couldn't catch up with him."

Of course it was not as exaggerated as he said. Da Wang listened to Xiao Wang and first took the firewood home and threw it at the door to dry before leaving.

Of course, he walked fast, and Erwang Maisui and Xiaowang would definitely not be able to catch up, and Sanwang would only be left in dust even if he tried his best to catch up.

Fortunately, I still watched the whole show!

Sanwang said he enjoyed it very much, "Brother, next time we perform an opera, you can play the role of Yang Zirong."

Da Wang glanced at him and said, "I think you look more like Yang Zirong." He kept talking all the time.

With the brigade supporting Wu Caixian and Liu Wenhu temporarily arrested, Wu Pozi and Sun Aifeng dared not do anything, so no one dared to cause trouble. Those who stole household items were too embarrassed to see anyone, so they quietly threw the items back or left them at the door.

The team leader asked people to make a coffin, while Han Yongfang, Han Qingsong and Han Qingyun returned to the village from the commune.

As soon as he arrived at the brigade headquarters, he was stopped by Yanyan, who cried and complained.

Some members there also supplemented her, thinking that her crying was not pleasant enough and ruined the integrity of the story, so they started to tell the story on her behalf.

Influenced by the propaganda team, these people spoke very quickly and vividly, especially when Lin Lan whipped Da Wang and kicked over Da Cang. They treated it as a play and spoke with extra enthusiasm, and in the end they even had a competition.

After he finished speaking, Chang Fuyu laughed and said, "Secretary, Propaganda Captain Lin is as good as you. The way he swings the whip is so cool..."

Han Yongfang snorted, "Are you just here to watch a show?"

Han Qingsong was a little worried that Lin Lan would suffer a loss when he heard that she was also involved, so he did not rush home to listen. But when he heard that his wife was whipping someone with a whip, the corners of his tightly pursed lips relaxed, and his eyes turned kinder when he looked at Chang Fuyu.

When he heard that Da Wang brought his brothers and sisters to support their mother's waist and kicked Da Cang until he vomited blood, he asked, "Did he really vomit blood?"

He felt that Da Wang would not be so careless, so he began to train Da Wang to control his strength.

Chang Fuyu scratched his head in embarrassment, "It wasn't because he was kicked that he vomited blood, it was because a stone from a slingshot broke his lip. Who told him to be so mean?"

Han Qingsong's face turned stern again. "Report the truth."

Chang Fuyu subconsciously straightened his back and stood at attention, "Yes, Director Han."

Han Qingsong said something to Han Yongfang, told him to go about his business and went home first.

Han Qingyun: "Third brother, don't you want to go and take a look?"

Han Qingsong: "If we report the case to the Public Security Bureau, it's you who will handle it." It's not like the director has to handle every case.

Han Qingyun chuckled and caught up with him, "Third brother, I'll go with you."

Han Qingsong: "Together?"

Han Qingyun nodded and rushed ahead, "I have to express my admiration to my sister-in-law."

He rushed into Lin Lan's house, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are really amazing!"

Lin Lan had just taken the corn down and was going to rub the kernels. Their family ate the corn quickly, so they had to rub some every day and then push the mill.

"Qingyun, what are you doing?"

Han Qingyun rushed over and gave a thumbs up to Da Wang, "Da Wang, you have become what I wanted to be when I was a kid. That's amazing!"

When he was a child, Han Qingyun also had great ambitions, such as being invincible in the village, supporting his mother, and having people call him brother when they saw him!

Da Wang is so awesome now, young people aged fifteen or sixteen all call him "Brother Da Wang" when they see him!!!

Da Wang: “…………” Why are you so stupid?

Han Qingyun pestered Lin Lan and Da Wang, expressing his admiration in a sticky way, but after a few words, he was chilled by Han Qingsong's cold eyes. He chuckled and said, "Third brother, let me go and see what this matter is about."

After Han Qingyun left, Lin Lan told Han Qingsong about the Liu family's affairs.

"Why is it that a family is extinct just because they don't have a son? Aren't daughters of noble families human beings?" Lin Lan was very angry.

Han Qingsong held her hand, stroked her back, and comforted her silently.

Lin Lan continued, "They say that having a son doesn't mean a family is extinct. But doesn't Liu Erhu have a little son? Even if he's younger, he's still a son. How can that be considered extinct? To divide up his property? To drive the mother and daughter out?"

Erwang: "Mom, that's bullying."

Sanwang and Xiaowang also nodded, "It's just bullying!"

Mai Sui said, "Mom, Yanyan is so pitiful, let's help her and don't let her grandma and uncle sell her out." Mrs. Wu always scolded Yanyan for not being obedient and sold her out.

Lin Lan said, "This isn't the old society. How can you just sell people? Even if she wants to sell, no one else dares to."

In the past, they were bought to be prostitutes or maids, but now some people still buy them secretly, but to put it another way, they buy them as wives by paying more betrothal money, and usually only the disabled, stupid or old bachelors would buy them.

Mai Sui: "She and Caihua only started school for a few days, and unexpectedly her father passed away. Mom, why is her life so miserable?"

Lin Lan saw the sorrowful look on the young lady's face. The once vain little girl had turned into a thoughtful and compassionate kind-hearted girl. She quickly grabbed the wheat ears and smiled, "Young lady, everyone's life is earned by themselves. Some people start from a low point, but they keep improving and end up with a high point. Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but end up with a miserable old age. So, this fate is the emotion expressed by people who have experienced it. You kids just need to rush forward and don't need to worry too much."

Sanwang: "Yes, I know one, for example, the last emperors! Haha, they were born as the emperor's sons, but what happened in the end?"

Everyone is looking at Sanwang, why are you so sharp? !

Lin Lan touched his head, "This is responsibility. Since he was born in an imperial family and enjoys the worship of the people, he must naturally bear the consequences of the country's destruction. Let's not talk about historical matters. You should read more in the future and have your own ideas. Mother's ideas are her own, and your ideas are yours."

Xiao Wang chuckled, "Fortunately, we are not emperors."

Lin Lan patted his head again and said softly, "Let's stop talking about this topic. You must not talk about it outside. Now we are destroying feudalism, destroying the four olds, and overthrowing the capitalist-roaders. These things cannot be discussed."

There are some things Lin Lan needs to make clear to the children. The younger they are, the sooner she tells them, the better they will remember them.

Xiao Wang was curious, "Mom, what can I say?"

"Well, eating, sleeping, working, studying, the great socialism, the Communist Party, the great leader Chairman M..." Lin Lan listed a lot with a smile.

Xiao Wang counted the numbers on his fingers carefully and said, "Mom, I remember it."

After dinner, Lin Lan asked the children to do their homework and read books.

At this time Dong Huaihua came over and said, "Director Han, Lin Lan, let's go. The brigade is having a meeting and you are invited to attend."

Lin Lan knew it was about Liu Erhu's family, so she asked, "Is it appropriate for us to go?"

Dong Huaihua teased her, "You can't enjoy it in vain after whipping her, you still have to finish it. Let's go." She took Lin Lan's hand and said with a smile, "Hey, why don't you let someone greet me? I want to go and see what's going on."

Lin Lan nudged her with her arm and said, "What are you talking about? I'm so embarrassed. I was really angry at the time."

"You're so angry. If it were me, I would scold them even more." Of course, she didn't have the courage to whip them, so she looked at Lin Lan with a glowing look.

Han Qingsong said that the brigade's affairs should be resolved by the brigade, and it would be inappropriate for him to go since he was not a brigade cadre.

Lin Lan went there with Dong Huaihua.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Han Yongfang, the brigade commander, Liu Guifa and others were already seated. Below them were Liu Wenhu's family, Wu Caixian with her daughter and son, as well as several militiamen, brigade cadres and a barefoot doctor.

Mrs. Wu had her head wrapped with a piece of cloth, her forehead was purple and black from being pinched, and she kept screaming, saying that she was going to die of anger.

Liu Wenhu was a little depressed after being locked up for half a day, and Sun Aifeng was cheering him up.

Okura and Dawei did not come.

Wu Caixian brought the children with her, with white cloth wrapped on her head and the two children wearing mourning clothes.

Of course, there is no extra cloth at home. There are still threads on it. I guess they were torn when I took off the quilt lining. I just sewed a few stitches on it so that it would not fall off when I wear it.

Wu Caixian's eyes were so swollen that her eyeballs were almost invisible. She stopped crying and just hugged her little son tightly, as if he was a life-saving straw.

Liu Wenhu glared at the three of them, mother and son, with hatred, as if they were thorns in his eyes.

Yanyan clenched her fists, leaned against her mother, and glared back at Liu Wenhu fiercely.

Liu Wenhu was so angry that he slapped his hand, "You damned girl..."

Yanyan: "Damn scum!"

Liu Wenhu was about to fight.

Han Yongfang coughed and said, "Stop rubbing it."

Liu Wenhu immediately held back his anger and spat at Yanyan and the others angrily.

Yanyan spat back immediately.

Caihua in the crowd outside kept winking at Yanyan, telling her not to be impulsive and to hold back for the time being. She wanted to go in and sit next to Yanyan, but unfortunately everyone inside was involved, and if she went in, Liu Wenhu would be jealous, and then she would argue with her own parents, and her parents would have to scold her again.

So she could only stay outside and watch.

Mrs. Wu sighed and held her head, "My son is dead, but I am not dead yet. I still need to take care of him in his old age."

Lin Lan glanced at her with great contempt. She had never seen such an old woman before. To her, her son had died and the widow was no longer a relative. She had no feelings for her grandchildren at all.

Liu Wenhu also said, "That's right, so we have to split up and give all our things to the old man for his retirement. If she wants to remarry, it's up to her, but she can't take up our house and money."

Wu Caixian wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it. Besides, she was embarrassed and felt ashamed as everyone was watching.

Yanyan spat, "What do you mean by your Liu family? Which Liu family do you represent? Aren't my brother and I from the Liu family? The food for our family is earned by my mom and dad's work points. You gave me one point? What do you have to give me?"

"And me! I'm your grandma, so you have to give it to me." Grandma Wu was furious. The more she looked at her granddaughter, the more she couldn't stand it.

Yanyan said angrily: "You are just an old immortal. You are no longer my grandma!"

This stirred up a hornet's nest, and Mrs. Wu and Liu Wenhu and others started to scold Yanyan again.

Lin Lan: "Shut up, everyone."

When she said that, Dong Huaihua immediately burst out, "What do you mean by splitting up your family? Why do you want to split up? After the family is split up, each family is its own family. When other people's sons die, the old people still help to raise their grandchildren. How can you, an old woman, be so unkind that you just squeeze the marrow out of your children?"

Dong Huaihua hadn't caught up before, so she certainly wouldn't fall behind now. She scolded Mrs. Wu so much that she rolled her eyes.

How did she become an immortal who sucked the marrow of her children and grandchildren?

Dong Huaihua scolded Liu Wenhu and Sun Aifeng again, "They say that brothers are like brothers. You are so eager to chop your brothers off. You are really bringing shame to our Shanzui Village."

Yanyan started crying then.

Lin Lan asked, "How did Liu Erhu die? How come he disappeared in just a few days?" She hadn't even heard about it.

Liu Guifa said: "The barefoot doctor checked it out. He wasn't feeling well last month. It was an emergency. He suddenly couldn't breathe and said he had chest pain."

Lin Lan: "Why don't you go to the county and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Yanyan glared at Mrs. Wu and Liu Wenhu, "It's all your fault. You killed my father. My mother said she wanted to send my father to the county hospital, but you said that going to the hospital would bring no good, and you even diagnosed something wrong with him even though he wasn't sick, so you wouldn't let him go. Now I understand clearly, you were afraid that my father would spend money, and you had been looking forward to my father's death so that you could take over my family's money and food. You... you scumbags, I'm going to sue you!"

She walked out from beside Wu Caixian and knelt on the ground, "Secretary, team leader, I want to sue Liu Wenhu and the old lady. They worked together to kill my father! That afternoon, I saw Liu Wenhu talking to my father, he put his hand on my father's neck, and then... then my father died! He strangled my father to death! It was Liu Wenhu who strangled my father to death!!!"

…………

"You, don't slander me!" Liu Wenhu exploded. "He is my brother. I would never do such an evil thing."

Someone in the crowd sneered: "What you did is really outrageous."

Liu Wenhu immediately said that he was innocent, "My second brother asked me to do something, so I went over to listen. How could I say that I strangled him to death?"

Lin Lan: "What did Liu Erhu ask you to do?"

Liu Wenhu blurted out, "Just... let me take care of the orphans and widows. Isn't this what I should do? Of course I have to take care of them. They are all members of our Liu family. I certainly can't let outsiders take advantage of them."

Lin Lan sneered, "Your care is not bad. You leave the house and money behind, but you send the people away. That's great."

Liu Wenhu's face turned purple, but he was speechless. He was really at a loss for words.

Finally, Han Yongfang snorted, "You are nagging me about such a trivial matter. I think you are all easy to get whipped. You have separated your family, and each family is responsible for the affairs of each family. The eldest brother was supposed to help with Liu Erhu's funeral and help provide some wood, money and food. Since you are reluctant to give up, then let the brigade help. Liu Erhu's family does not need to provide money or food as a reward, even if the brigade helps the poor."

After that, he said to the brigade leader: "If something like this happens in the future, you will be whipped back. All brigade cadres will die? Are you still playing the same tricks here eight hundred years ago? I will make it clear today. In the future, if a man leaves at a young age and leaves his wife, children and brothers, the brigade will help. Arrange a long-term job for the wife to earn work points. The children will also earn some work points for what they can do, and we will also provide appropriate food subsidies at the end of the year. Anyway, we can't let people in our brigade starve to death."

Finally, he added, "If someone wants to remarry, it's their own business. As long as they take care of the children, no one has the face to interfere."

This is quite avant-garde and will make a lot of old men pout in anger.

Lin Lan smiled.

Liu Wenhu pulled the barefoot doctor to testify that Liu Erhu was going to die and he did not kill himself. Yanyan was slandering him.

The barefoot doctor said slowly, "Liu Erhu is seriously ill and will not survive this year. But I was not there in the afternoon, so I don't know if you pinched him or not."

What if you think he dies too slowly?

Liu Wenhu: "You, you, why are you still like this!"

The barefoot doctor immediately said: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, everyone has his own destiny, this King Yan..."

"You're almost there." Liu Guifa pulled him and said, "Are you a barefoot doctor or a shaman? You keep talking about life and death being determined by fate and wealth being determined by God."

The barefoot doctor chuckled and said, "If you don't let me speak, I'll just shut up."

Han Yongfang would never blindly favor the weak. Although Yanyan sued Liu Wenhu, there was no evidence or it was just the child's angry words, so no one would take it seriously.

After all, Wu Caixian did not file a complaint, which means that Liu Erhu died on his own.

But Yanyan's shout really frightened Liu Wenhu. Not to mention planning to go to his brother's wife's house, he didn't dare to visit their house in the future for fear of being gossiped about.

With Han Yongfang in charge, the problem was easily solved. Wu Caixian could earn work points in a long-term job in the brigade, and as long as she worked hard, she could make a living. In addition, if the villagers could not sew by themselves, they could ask her to help with the work and earn a few pounds of food.

Lin Lan wondered why Han Yongfang glanced at her vaguely when he said this?

I can mend it myself!!!

After hearing the brigade's arrangements and seeing that the brigade was supporting her, Yanyan knelt down and kowtowed to Han Yongfang several times.

The captain immediately picked her up and said, "This kind of thing is not acceptable in our new society. It will be embarrassing if it gets out. It will make you make mistakes."

Yanyan nodded, "Thank you, Secretary, Team Leader, Directors, and Teacher Lin..." She finally looked at Lin Lan, "Teacher Lin, I can't go to school anymore. Can I learn to read from you? I heard that you learned everything by yourself, and you learned better than the students."

Lin Lan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Of course you want to be literate. How about you join our propaganda team." This can also help with a few kilograms of food.

Yanyan was of course happy to do so and immediately said, "I don't want any work points, I just want to learn some skills."

She knew that Lin Lan and Dong Huaihua were generous, and would naturally give her a few pounds of food even if she didn't ask for work points.

Dong Huaihua also agreed, "But it also depends on your talent. If you don't have that talent, we will just give it a try."

Yanyan said that she would study hard.

Han Yongfang stood up and said, "It's almost time to go home and sleep in. We still have to go check on the wheat seedlings and replant them tomorrow."

He walked away first with his hands behind his back, followed by the captain.

Liu Guifa said to Liu Wenhu, "Stay away from Yanyan and the others in the future. If someone reports you for showing off, stealing things, or beating people up, I won't be polite to you."

Liu Wenhu was so angry that his feet were burning up. He didn't dare to hit anyone, and he didn't even dare to say anything harsh. He could only walk away with his face turning purple. Sun Aifeng quickly helped Mrs. Wu catch up.

Yanyan ran to Lin Lan and bowed to her, "Teacher Lin, thank you."

Lin Lan hurriedly held her back, "You've thanked me so many times. Come on, go home now. If you have anything to say, tell the director later."

After all, I am not a cadre, and some things are difficult for me to manage. Dong Huaihua is the director of the Women's Department, and she is responsible for managing women and children.

Yanyan bowed to Dong Huaihua again.

Dong Huaihua quickly said, "Don't be sour, just take him away, all right, if you have anything to say in the future, tell me, and I will scold those idiots."

She took Lin Lan's arm and said, "Come on, I need to talk to you. I miss you more and more."

Lin Lan: “…” “Don’t be so ambiguous when you speak. Don’t let our director hear it. He will be jealous soon.”

The two of them were whispering all the way. When they reached the intersection, Dong Huaihua was still holding Lin Lan's hand, as if she was going to follow Lin Lan home.

Lin Lan patted her hands and said, "Director, you should go and have a rest. We can talk again tomorrow."

Dong Huaihua: "I also want to invite you to my house."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Next time."

Knowing that she was wielding the whip, Lin Lan felt that Dong Huaihua was even more enthusiastic towards her, as if she had accomplished something she had always wanted to do but had not yet done.

After they went home, Wu Caixian came over with her son, Yanyan and Caihua.

Wu Caixian walked ahead and signaled the two girls to go home quickly.

Caihua pulled Yanyan's hand and stopped, whispering, "Why don't you listen to me? Don't fight Liu Wenhu head-on, you can't beat him. Your mother will definitely remarry in the future..."

"At least my mother won't do that now!" Yanyan interrupted Caihua, "When I can support my brother, it won't matter if my mother wants to remarry."

Caihua was stunned. She didn't expect Yanyan to interrupt her. She had always listened to her before.

Something has changed.

Caihua said unhappily: "Do you really think Lin Lan is helping you? I tell you, she is just pretending to be a good person. People like her can't change their nature. She wants to..."

"Cauliflower!" Yanyan's face turned serious and she said seriously, "Don't say bad things about Teacher Lin again, or I won't be friends with you!"

The author has something to say: Lin Lan: Don’t be obsessed with me, my director will be jealous.
