Early in the morning, Meng Tao was awakened by Xiao Wangcai. Xiao Wangcai was a very smart furry child and would not easily bark like this. He was barking towards the outside of the courtyard gate. Meng Tao quickly changed her clothes and walked out. When she opened the courtyard gate, she saw two handsome guys leaning against the door frame with their arms folded, showing her charming smiles.
This is a big surprise.
Meng Zhehan came up and patted Meng Tao on the head, and Shen Yu hugged her directly. Meng Tao said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you. You drove here overnight. It must have been hard on the road!"
Meng Zhehan: "Why is it so hard? My sister is so frightened, how dare you not come? You have to come even if you have to knife her!"
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yu.
When he learned the news last night, Meng Zhehan thought that if Shen Yu thought it was too hard and didn't want to come, he would come alone overnight.
But from now on, Shen Yu can forget about keeping the position of brother-in-law. He must keep whispering in his sister's ear, encouraging and dissuading her, and destroying this marriage without any psychological burden.
Anyone who doesn't truly love and put romance first doesn't deserve her, even if he's her best friend!
Shen Yu knew what Meng Zhehan was thinking, but he didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just held his young wife in his arms and stroked her fur. He turned around to avoid Meng Zhehan and whispered in his wife's ear.
Meng Zhehan: “…”
Okay, he drank this bowl of dog food willingly.
The two of them came here at night and were hungry. Meng Tao immediately washed her hands and cooked, and Shen Yu followed to help. There was no room for Meng Zhehan in the kitchen. They showed their affection from time to time, and there was too much dog food. He didn't want to choke on it.
He had no choice but to play in the yard with Xiao Wangcai. He saw the pots of flower bonsai that were full of vitality, elegant and beautiful, and they were very attractive. He knew a little about flower-growing, and seeing that the soil in some pots had not been loosened and the branches and leaves had not been trimmed, he went to find tools himself and became a temporary gardener.
After dinner, Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan asked Meng Tao to stay at home. They went out for a while and came back almost at noon. Meng Tao didn't know what they did and didn't ask in a hurry. The two of them didn't sleep all night because they were on the road. She prepared hot water for them to take a hot bath and then catch up on their sleep.
Shen Yu woke up at around three o'clock in the afternoon, while Meng Zhehan was still sleeping. Shen Yu said that he woke up because he was hungry, but in fact he was reluctant to sleep any longer. He had to go back to the provincial capital at night, and he wanted to stay with his wife for a while and talk more.
They have no choice but to go back. They still have work to do, and they can keep an eye on the situation here by returning to the provincial capital.
Director Shen said that the Mengzhou Bureau was instructed to keep a low profile when handling this case and not reveal Meng Tao's identity. There was no need for them to show up too often to avoid attracting attention.
Meng Tao and Xiao Wangcai continued to stay in Mengzhou City for more than a week.
During this unexpected incident, the conversation between Zhong Xiaomei and several gangsters made Meng Tao seriously suspect that there was something wrong with them, so she stayed to see what the police would find out.
After the police conducted a vigorous interrogation and investigation, they finally found a way out of these gangsters and uncovered a hidden criminal gang. They were engaged in fighting, stealing, robbing, bullying men and women... They were simply committing all kinds of evil and crimes! They seriously jeopardized public safety and even infringed on the lives and property of the people.
When this news was announced, the whole Mengzhou city was in an uproar. People were furious and demanded severe punishment for the criminals. Such unscrupulous villains must not be forgiven lightly. Labor reform is not acceptable. They also waste national grain, so they must all be sentenced to death! Meng Tao learned from the police that Zhong Xiaomei did not directly participate in the gang crime, but her brother and cousin were in the gang, and her brother was a leader of some size. Therefore, Zhong Xiaomei always knew about the existence of the gang, and even Zhong's parents knew about it. Not only did they not stop it, they also deliberately helped their son cover up and conceal it, because their son's salary in the factory was not high, and he could bring back a sum of money from time to time by doing "private work" in the gang.
This time, she was killed by Meng Tao because Zhong Xiaomei was eager to "take revenge". According to the confession of Zhong Xiaomei's "cousin", Zhong Xiaomei hated "the country woman surnamed Meng" for some reason. She gritted her teeth every time she mentioned her. She specially invited her brother and cousin to come and ask them to take Meng Tao away to "play with her" and then sell her. The farther the better! Zhong Xiaomei also had another request, which was to "deal with" Wang Jiancheng, the boy from the Wang family, and beat him so hard that his parents would not recognize him. Who made Wang Jiancheng dare to help the woman surnamed Meng to "bully" her...
But they never expected that the "country woman surnamed Meng" was a strong woman. She defeated them in a few moves. They hit a wall! Evil will be punished. Zhong Xiaomei and a few gangsters will definitely be sentenced. Zhong's parents will also be charged with harboring. A public trial will be held. Meng Tao will not join in the fun. She has been away from Linshui Village for more than ten days and it is time to go back.
Meng Tao took the early train and returned to Yanchong Commune via Xingyang County. It was still early, around four o'clock, so Meng Tao went to the grain station where Zhou Cuiling worked and waited for her to get off work and return to the village together.
These days in Mengzhou City, Meng Tao went to the post office to call Shen Yu and also called Zhou Cuiling. Although they had been separated for more than ten days, they often talked on the phone. Zhou Cuiling knew that Meng Tao would be back in the next two days, and when she saw Meng Tao get off the car, she came to find her first and brought her a lot of snacks. She was immediately very happy and kept talking to Meng Tao.
Before Meng Tao returned to the village, he had a basic understanding of the current situation of the village and related personnel.
The spring ploughing work was in full swing. All the villagers were busy working to earn work points. Perhaps because they had rested for a long time during the holidays, they were too tired from working so hard. The number of people in the literacy class was reduced by more than half, and there were only seven or eight people every night. As a result, Zhou Cuiling no longer liked to go there. She took some review materials her father brought back and studied at home. If she didn't understand something, she would go directly to the Meng family yard to ask the educated youth teacher for advice.
The peach tree forest in front of the village is in bloom, and it is very beautiful;
Meng Jinniu has completely left the wheelchair and can walk well with a cane. A door has been opened on the wall between the old and new courtyards of the Meng family. Jinniu walks from one side to the other and back from the other side every day. He can also free up his hands to do things within his ability and is happy all day long.
The commune’s new middle school is under preparation and the school building is almost completed. I heard that it will be put into use in September and officially recruit students.
The teacher selection examination was conducted in two rounds, and the final round was needed to decide the teachers who could be retained. The three literacy teachers of Linshui Village Production Team, Jiang Xiaodong, Zhao Ming and He Huijuan who lived in Meng Tao's house, were all qualified to take the middle school teacher selection examination, but for some unknown reason, Zhao Ming voluntarily gave up this opportunity.
