Riding a bicycle out of the street, Meng Tao saw a man walking on the side of the road carrying two baskets of charcoal. Meng Tao tried to ask if he wanted to sell them, but the man muttered, "No, I'm using them for my own use."

While looking around vigilantly, he saw no one nearby and immediately said to Meng Tao, "This charcoal was originally going to be sent to the market. It has been weighed at home. A basket is 50 kilograms. If you want to buy it, you have to buy the whole basket. I will give you a discount!"

Meng Tao asked: "Can this be sold at the market? Which market?"

"Of course it's not the public market. It's the market that only people like us know about. It's over there on the other side of the fence of the Agricultural Technology Station at the west end."

"Oh." Meng Tao understood. This was the black market of Yanchong Commune. She would go and take a look some other day.

There were two baskets of charcoal weighing one hundred pounds, which was not expensive, so Meng Tao bought them all. She took out a sack and asked the man to pour the charcoal into it. After he left, Meng Tao sorted out the sack, leaving only thirty or forty pounds in it. She tied it to the back rack of her bicycle and returned to the village.

The new bicycle could run briskly on the gravel road without any effort. Meng Tao only looked at the road ahead and didn't pay attention to the pedestrians on the roadside. After turning a bend in the mountain road, which happened to be downhill, the bicycle glided quickly without pedaling. Meng Tao saw three women walking on the side of the road. She wanted to pay attention to the road but didn't look carefully. Her heart skipped a beat for some reason, and she heard someone screaming: "Meng Taohua, go to hell!"

Meng Tao felt a strong wind coming from behind and subconsciously leaned down and lowered her head. A fist-sized stone flew over her head. If she didn't lower her head in time, the stone would definitely hit the back of her head.

This time she dodged the stone, but because she suddenly bent down and lowered her head, her body lost balance, the bicycle's head tilted, and she hit the rubble on the side of the road, and both she and the bicycle fell to the ground on the gravel road.

If an expert rider was riding a bicycle, he would use his feet to support the ground and would not fall so badly. However, Meng Tao only knew how to ride a bicycle in her previous life. In her panic, she did not think of using her feet and was a little dazed after falling.

There was a burst of laughter and clapping behind her. Meng Tao knew who it was without even looking at the hoarse voice: Tian Xianglan, that crazy woman.

The three women she just glanced at turned out to be the poisonous spiders of the Tian family. No wonder she felt inexplicably uneasy and sensed danger.

Meng Tao got up from the ground. She was fine as she was wearing thick clothes, but her palm was scratched. There was not much blood, but it was numb and painful in such a cold weather.

Looking back, Wang Shuifeng, Tian Xianglan and Tian Yalan were standing there, staring at him fiercely. Wang Shuifeng had a sinister look in her eyes, while Tian Xianglan and Tian Yalan were holding two stones in their hands and were ready to throw them over again.

Meng Tao jumped to avoid two stones, and before they could pick up new stones, she ran forward quickly and grabbed Tian Xianglan first. The advantage of being strong is that she can control her in all directions without any tricks. She grabbed the hair and pulled it back hard, then kicked the back of her leg, making her kneel down. She kicked her hard again, forcing Tian Xianglan to kneel down and bend over. She rolled her eyes and screamed in pain.

Tian Yalan pounced on them with her teeth bared. Meng Tao let go of Tian Xianglan first, as she couldn't get up in that position anyway. He reached out and grabbed Tian Yalan and did the same to her, with another one howling like a ghost. Then, regardless of Wang Shuifeng's scolding and chasing after her, he grabbed a handful of hair with one hand and dragged the two women down the slope like dead dogs.

Meng Tao ran so fast that Wang Shuifeng could not catch up with her. When they reached a mud pond at the bottom of the slope where fish had just been released, she let go and turned around, kicking Tian Xianglan and Tian Yalan, who were still confused and didn't know what was going on, one by one. The two girls rolled over like balls and fell into the mud pond with a splash.

There was no water in the pond, but the mud was quite thick. After the two sisters went down, they sank into the mud and froze. They didn't get hurt, but when they struggled to get up, their whole bodies turned into mud.

Meng Tao walked towards her and said, "Go ahead and sue me. I'll put you down there to cool down first!"

Wang Shuifeng was so scared that she ran away along the embankment of the muddy pond, and she was quite fast.

Meng Tao did not chase after him. There were no cars or people passing by on the road at that time, so it was better for her to leave first to avoid asking the mother and daughter to find someone to testify. Even if nothing serious happened, it would be annoying to argue with such people.

Seeing Meng Tao was about to leave, Wang Shuifeng thought she was scared, so she ran back and yelled, "You are a jinx, a cheap bastard, a piece of shit! You caused my Zhigao to have his salary reduced, you harmed Yalan and Shitou, and you broke up Xianglan's family - how can you be so cruel? You will not die well..."

Meng Tao turned around and glared at Wang Shuifeng: "Old witch, you did all this yourself, just keep doing it until your whole family is killed! I'm also telling you, I, Meng Taohua, have never been a jinx. I'm the most blessed star!

I was tricked into the Tian family, and Tian Zhigao went to the city to work as a worker. Your Tian family's life immediately became better. Until he wanted to harm me and marry a powerful city wife. Now that I'm gone, what happened to your Tian family? So, old witch, you will end up harming yourself if you harm others, and you deserve retribution!"

After saying this, Meng Tao quickly ran to the middle of the slope, picked up her bicycle, pulled up her scarf to cover her head and half of her face, rode her bicycle down the slope and left.

If she didn't run, she would wait for people to come and watch her? The lesson from movies and TV shows is that in an emergency, the more you talk, the quicker you die. So she took the risk.

Wang Shuifeng watched Meng Tao run away, but there was no car or person passing by at this time. She turned her head and looked around. In the field, there was nothing but the dry grass swaying in the northwest wind. Not to mention the shadow of a person, there was no ghost! Thinking of what that bitch said, she was not a jinx, but a lucky star full of blessings! The Tian family prospered when the lucky star came in, and when the lucky star left, then... Wang Shuifeng's face turned pale, and she clutched her chest desperately, feeling like she was almost suffocating.

I heard my two daughters crying and I turned around to see two lumps of mud crawling up. They were like two big toads, wrapped in mud. Not only could I not see any flesh, I couldn't even tell the color of their clothes!

Is this still acceptable? Is this still acceptable? Wang Shuifeng wanted to faint on the spot.

She wanted to go to the commune to call her third son Zhigao. It was almost the New Year and the family had no money. The eldest son was selfish and the fourth son was useless. These two prodigal sons sold their bicycles without consulting their family and only gave the money to their wife. Wang Shuifeng was almost mad and could only plan to ask her third son to send some money back...

Yalan wants to ask her third brother and his wife to help her find temporary jobs in the city. Xianglan wants to ask the third brother to talk to the sugar factory manager and ask him to let Liang Tiezhu go back to work. That way Liang Tiezhu won't be angry and will at least take care of the family. Otherwise, what will Xianglan and her four children do? Who will they rely on for a living in the future?

Who would have thought that she would meet Meng Taohua on the way? How could she go to the commune in such a state? Wang Shuifeng was angry and resentful, and she wanted to cry but had no tears, and she had no idea what to do.
