After lunch, Zhou Cuiling went to work.

Meng Tao, Qian Xiaoyun and Jiang Limei continued to sew the quilt, and He Huijuan also helped to make a few pillows. There was still some cotton left from the half sack they bought, and there were two pieces of blue striped fabric left from sewing the quilt cover.

Meng Tao didn't want to go out on a rainy day and was in the mood to do handicrafts, so she found two pieces of beige khaki cloth as the fabric, used blue striped cloth as the lining, cut them, sandwiched a layer of thin cotton, and sewed them into two small vests for men and women. They could be worn to do outdoor work in cold weather. They were convenient, light, and protected the shoulders and back from the cold.

Meng Tao said the blue vest was for Meng Lao San, and she wanted to wear the floral one herself. The style was novel and she looked playful and cute when she tried it on. It was comfortable, warm and showed off her figure. Several female educated youth liked it when they saw it and said they also wanted to buy some cotton and cloth to make one.

At around 3:00 p.m., after the police station received Shi Datou, who was brought over by the militia, two policemen drove a three-wheeled motorcycle with a bucket to Linshui Village to handle the case of Shi Datou stabbing people. The police investigated various places in the village, questioned Meng Tao and the educated youth who were present at the time, took their statements, and then went to Tian's house.

In the evening, Zhou Shi'an came back from the commune and asked Zhou Cuiling to invite Meng Tao to his house for dinner. He told her that Shi Datou had come to their house with a knife and committed a heinous crime. After going through the relevant legal procedures, he would have to do labor reform for at least two years.

Zhou Cuiling said dissatisfiedly: "It's only two years of labor reform, isn't that too easy for him? He's a murderer!"

Zhou Shian said: "Taohua defended himself. He attempted murder but failed and was seriously injured."

"He deserves it!" said Aunt Yang.

Zhou Shian affirmed that Meng Tao was right to defend herself: "When your life is threatened, of course you must do your best to protect yourself. Even if you kill the attacker, it's okay. The law is fair."

Meng Tao stayed with Zhou Cuiling at night. Aunt Yang really asked Zhou Cuimei on behalf of her eldest brother. Meng Tao shook her head and said: I have just experienced so many unlucky things. I am not in the mood to consider marriage for the time being.

Aunt Yang helped to ask, because she had promised Zhou Cuimei, and she knew it would not work, so she smiled and said goodbye.

Zhou Cuiling rolled her eyes speechlessly, blaming her mother for being nosy, and said to Meng Tao, "Don't believe my mother, and don't listen to anyone who wants to match you up. We are not in a hurry, take our time, be careful and choose carefully. We have to find someone who is stable and can protect you. The most important thing is: he must be better than Tian Zhigao! We just want to prove ourselves."

Meng Tao nodded in agreement. Shen Yu's face and figure popped up in her mind. She was speechless: Has she been successfully brainwashed by Shen Yu? When Shen Yu sent her to the train, he said that she should ignore anyone who tried to match her up with him. He was her match!

The address on the postmark is Yicheng, which means Meng Tao called the commune post office to report that she was safe after she came back. Shen Yu was in a meeting and didn't answer the letter, so he sent the letter. He didn't know what it said. He went back to the room, closed the door, cut the seal with scissors, and took out two pages of letter paper. Unlike the free and easy cursive script in the previous letter, Shen Yu wrote in regular small regular script this time. He sincerely apologized to Meng Tao, saying that he shouldn't have hastily proposed to date at the train station, which scared Taohua, but that was indeed his true thought in his heart, and he didn't want to do that temporarily. When Taohua was still in the provincial capital, he felt that his life must be connected with Meng Taohua! There was no reason, and he didn't know the reason. Anyway, he thought so, and he firmly believed that they would meet again. Even if they didn't meet in Yicheng this time, he would definitely create conditions and use the annual leave to visit Meng Taohua in Linshui Village before the New Year at the latest.

Meng Tao paused. No way? Shen Yu is coming to Linshui Village too? If Shen Yu comes, Meng Zhehan will definitely follow him. What about Grandpa Liu and Liu Jianxin... Meng Tao exhaled. My temple is small and I can't afford to entertain you. I beg you not to come!

Continuing to read the letter, this guy's cunning and tyranny were clearly visible on the paper. He reviewed himself and apologized, and he seemed sincere and sincere. But at the end, he said, "Then it's settled. We'll start dating now. If you're still worried, we can talk and get to know each other gradually. I'll cooperate with your comprehensive investigation at any time!"

What the hell? She hadn't even agreed to let him pursue her, but he unilaterally decided to start dating her? She didn't expect that this guy, who looked as cold as ice and arrogant, could be so good at flirting. Meng Tao had to admit that she was flirted.

Since she is a fangirl, it is understandable that she cannot resist handsome men, right? Meng Tao bit her lip and smiled secretly, suppressing her pounding heart. She planned to calm down for a few days before writing back. In order to avenge Shen Yu's sudden confession at the train station and make her lose her composure, she told him: There are too many guys she wants to see, so she can only give him a candidate spot first. Whether she wants him to be her partner or not, she can decide after seeing all of them!

Imagining Shen Yu’s expression when he received this reply, Meng Tao couldn’t help laughing out loud - I let you tease me, who doesn’t know how to have fun?

She was not afraid of him being angry. If she couldn't stand it, it meant that the two of them were not suitable for each other.

Besides, Shi Datou was sent to the police station and might have to do labor reform for several years without being able to come back. The happiest person was Tian Yalan, because she could finally get rid of Shi Datou, and she asked Wang Shuifeng to take her to have an abortion.

She had always wanted to have an abortion before, but Shi Datou begged her and threatened her, saying that he would kill her if she dared to abort his son. Tian Yalan was afraid of death, so now she had no scruples and wanted to go right away.

Wang Shuifeng naturally agreed to her youngest daughter. She was half-truthful about her youngest daughter's "marriage" with Shi Datou. After all, Tian Yalan was pregnant and failed to keep it a secret. It caused a lot of noise and was known by Shi Datou. She felt that if she could appease Shi Datou first, she could get a betrothal gift to hold the wedding banquet for the fourth son. Who knew what would happen in the future? Shi Datou was a cripple in the mountains. He could only go to the commune at most and could not run far. After a year or two, the third son would be reinstated as an official. Tian Yalan would go directly to the city and find another rich and powerful man to marry. What else could Shi Datou do? But after all, she had received a lot of benefits from Shi Datou over the years. Shi Datou was arrested, and Wang Shuifeng herself was reprimanded by the police for instigating Shi Datou to commit a crime. She hated Meng Taohua even more and made a note of Meng Taohua in her heart: wait, wait for the third son to be reinstated, and see how she kills that cheap skin!

The mother and daughter were just about to go out to the commune clinic in the rain, but they saw Shi Datou's parents rushing over wearing bamboo leaf hats, with muddy legs and wet bodies.

Wang Shuifeng's elder sister Wang Dafeng was originally dissatisfied with her son Shi Datou's constant desire to run to Wang Shuifeng's house, and even used a large sum of money he had saved up to marry Tian Yalan, but she could not stop Shi Datou and could only watch him toss and turn. Now that she knew that Shi Datou was deceived by Wang Shuifeng and her daughter and was arrested and sent to labor reform, she was immediately furious. She called Shi Datou's father, and the couple ran to Tian's house, blocked the door, grabbed Wang Shuifeng and quarreled, and asked Wang Shuifeng to either compensate her son or pay money! 　Today's update is completed, vote for it, my little cuties! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
