Tian Yalan said bitterly: "Mom, you don't know, Meng Taohua now has the support of the brigade cadres. After leaving our house, she became so arrogant that she dared to bully me!"

"How did she bully you?"

"She threw her hat at me and kicked me."

"Bitch, she's rebelling. I'll tear her apart when I get back!" Wang Shuifeng started cursing. Only after she finished cursing did she realize that Meng Taohua was no longer under her control, and she felt secretly resentful.

"Mom, Taohua said that our third brother sent a message back saying that we won't have a wedding and that we shouldn't waste money going to the provincial capital. Let's go to the commune post office and send a telegram to our third brother, or call our third sister-in-law and ask?"

"Did that bitch Meng Taohua really say that?"

"Well, she spoke it as if it were true. She also said that something happened to my third brother and he couldn't arrange jobs for me and my fourth brother...Mom, what should I do? If my third brother doesn't arrange jobs for me, I won't be able to leave the village and will have to stay in this damn place. I, I might as well die!" Tian Yalan sobbed.

Wang Shuifeng's face suddenly looked like it was covered with ink, dark and scary, she gnashed her teeth and said, "Your third brother is fine, what could have happened to him? If that bastard really went to the provincial capital, it must have been Zhou Shian and Bao Shunfeng. One of them took Taohua to your third brother's unit to cause trouble, so your third brother... If your third brother is fired, I will never forgive them, I will curse them to death, and chopping Meng Taohua alive is the least of my worries!"

Tian Yalan was shocked by the word "expelled" and dared not cry anymore. She couldn't imagine what she would do if her third brother was really expelled and couldn't arrange for her. The mother and daughter grumbled for a while and finally decided to go to the commune post office tomorrow to call "third sister-in-law" Xian Fangfang and ask about the situation.

These days, the whole family of the Tian family pretended to be dead and hid at home. The team didn't urge them to go to work. After all, they went to work to earn work points. Can't they just not have work points? Wang Shuifeng relied on her third son to send back 20 yuan and food coupons every month. She originally planned to go to the provincial capital to attend the wedding in a few days, when her children had recovered a little. By the way, she asked her third son to find a way to arrange Zhiyuan and Yalan to work as soon as possible. It would be even better if the two younger sons could also be taken to the provincial capital to study. The third daughter-in-law was pregnant, so Wang Shuifeng could also pack up and go to the provincial capital to take care of the confinement and take care of the grandson in a few months... If something really happened to the third son, the whole family would have no hope.

Wang Shuifeng couldn't help but be anxious. She hadn't gone out these days because she was not ready to show her old face to others. She had always asked her nephew Shi Datou to go to the commune to take care of the patients. Now that things had come to this, she couldn't care less.

The next day, Wang Shuifeng and Tian Yalan got up early and did not eat breakfast. Tian Yalan still wore a straw hat and Wang Shuifeng wrapped a headscarf. The bicycle was borrowed by Liang Tiezhu two days ago and had not been returned yet. Tian Yalan did not feel tired from walking at this time. The mother and daughter avoided the villagers, took the small road, and hurried to the commune.

Meng Tao also went to the commune today. Last night she slept on a bed board, covered with a sheet and a few clothes. She almost fell ill from the cold. Later she hid in the space to sleep. The space was also cool, but the temperature seemed to take care of her body and she could bear it.

When she got up in the morning, she ran to Bao Shunfeng to ask for leave so that she could go to the commune to buy a quilt. The team leader talked to her for a few more words, let her go, and even asked the hand tractor that was going to the commune to transport things to take her with it.

Meng Tao was almost shocked along the way. Imagining the scene of the hand tractor jumping forward on the bumpy mechanized road, she felt like crying but had no tears. If she had known earlier, she would not have ridden it. Zhou Cuiling wanted to lend her a bicycle because she thought the tractor was faster and she could bring more things back with less effort. But... it turned out that being cheap doesn't work.

The commune town was very small, with just one winding street. From the beginning to the end of the street, the post office, police station, supply and marketing cooperative, purchasing station, and a collective rice noodle shop were all on the same line. Meng Tao followed Meng Zhehan's instructions and went to the post office to send him a letter to report her safety, and inevitably ran into the Tian mother and daughter.

Wang Shuifeng was shocked by Meng Taohua's appearance, while Tian Yalan's eyes were spitting fire, wishing she could strip all the new clothes off Meng Taohua - cheap skin! Only city girls can afford such expensive clothes, how could she be worthy of them?

I just called my third sister-in-law, and my third brother happened to come to pick her up from work. After talking to both sides, they understood: How could Meng Taohua have the ability to buy clothes? She just robbed her third brother and sister-in-law of their money. How shameless! Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to pounce on her, Meng Tao pointed at them and said, "Stop right there! If you dare to get any closer, I will shout loudly so that everyone can see the true face of the mother and daughter of the Linshui Village Tian family. Also, there is a police station over there, just come over, two against one, and I will definitely put you in jail for a few days."

The mother and daughter were frightened by her for a moment and quickly stood still. Wang Shuifeng cursed angrily, "Meng Taohua, you bitch! Isn't it enough that you have harmed our family? You will not die a good death!"

"Wang Shuifeng, you old bitch, you know who is harming whom! I have suffered a lot in your family, but you abused and harmed me. I am like Yang Bailao's daughter, Tian Zhigao is Huang Shiren, and you are Huang Shiren's landlord wife. You have no good end, and the retribution you deserve is not over yet!"

Wang Shuifeng was furious: What did this mean? How did she become Huang Shiren's landlord mother? Meng Tao went to the supply and marketing cooperative after she finished speaking. She didn't have time to argue with them. She bought two quilts, half a bag of cotton and some daily necessities at the supply and marketing cooperative. She had to carry them to the tractor in batches, and now was the last trip.

Tian Yalan was unwilling to accept the situation and rushed over to grab her. Meng Tao dodged her and cursed her in disgust: "Stay away from me, you leper, you are contagious!"

Several passers-by who were coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative heard it and all looked at Tian Yalan. It happened that Tian Yalan wore a big straw hat on a cloudy day and deliberately wore her mother's winter coat, covering herself tightly, in order to avoid being recognized. Wang Shuifeng next to her also covered herself tightly with a headscarf, and it really looked like the real thing.

There was a shortage of medicine these days, and infectious diseases were difficult to treat. If you got infected, there was only one way to go, death. Several people covered their mouths and noses with their hands and stayed away from them.

Tian Yalan hurriedly shouted: "No! I don't have leprosy!"

But who would listen to her? People just avoided her and scattered, running as fast as they could, shouting as they ran: "It's leprosy, it's terrible if you get infected, don't get close!"

People who were about to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things were frightened and stood far away, shouting: "Why did the leper get out? Report to the police and arrest him immediately!"

Tian Yalan was furious, but the more anxious she got, the harder it was to explain herself. The key was that no one listened to her. She was so angry that she burst into tears. Wang Shuifeng hated Taohua so much that she wanted to run after her and beat her up, but she was in a public place and was afraid that the police would really come and she would have to show her face. If someone recognized them as mother and daughter, it would only be more embarrassing. So she quickly pulled Tian Yalan up and left the place first.

Good morning, my dear fairies. The author is here again, begging for votes!
