"Uh-huh,"
Before they came, Grandpa Cheng had told them that if they needed anything, they could go to this sister named Jian Dan. They were a little nervous before, but now that they had met her, the two boys were finally relieved. It turned out that she was the kind sister.
Mingzhu still had an incredulous expression on her face as she watched them leave with the children.
"No, don't tell me they really are educated youth?"
How old are they?
You're not even as old as you were back then, are you?
Sending such young children to the countryside?
He sighed simply and recounted the whole situation to her. It wasn't surprising at all; it was a very old routine.
"I'm not even as good as you."
My biological father is gone, and I'm left with only my biological mother. It would be better if I had no mother at all.
They treated them like enemies, taking all the compensation money to please their stepfather, and relentlessly exploiting their two ex-husbands' children.
The last time we went to the county town on business, we ran into them. Da Niu hadn't eaten for a long time, and his hands and feet were trembling from hunger. When we saw him, we all thought he had some serious illness and almost took him to the hospital.
Fortunately, my uncle was there that time, and he recognized the two children immediately. Otherwise, if it were me, I would have given them some food at most, and probably wouldn't have done anything else.
My uncle and his family were angry. In a fit of rage, they found someone, threatened that person, and then, after consulting with them, severed ties with him on their behalf.
Even so, and with the police on file, encounters are inevitable in any city. So, after discussing it, the two brothers decided to follow their uncle's advice and go far away for some peace and quiet.
Mingzhu, being a mother herself, was more empathetic in such situations and immediately felt a surge of compassion for the two teenagers.
"Is this really her biological mother? What was she thinking?"
"No matter how close someone else is, can they kiss the child born from your own womb?"
The final conclusion is that
"This person is truly ruthless!"
Simply put, I won't comment.
Such people are eccentric and not uncommon; it's just that no one has bothered to expose their true nature.
The whole village was filled with laughter. Slaughtering a pig was the second most joyous occasion after the New Year. Everyone, from eighty-year-old elders to children as young as Lin Huizhou, knew that they would be eating meat today.
Many people visit relatives after autumn, and some are just lucky enough to be there when Liujiatun is slaughtering pigs. Of course, they have to stay and eat a few more bites of meat.
And so, the conflict arose.
When the Sun brothers were with Hu Zi and his children, others would assume they were also children from the village.
But the two brothers, with their skinny arms and legs, were different from the other children in the village.
The children in the village may be thin, but they have a lot of energy and spirit.
Although they are the same patched clothes, they give people a different feeling.
At first glance, people dressed like Da Niu and Er Niu would think that their parents don't care about them and that they are weak and easy to bully.
Children's eyes reveal the most truth.
The two brothers were quickly identified as easy targets for bullying.
The person Liu Weimin went to pick up, while not exactly a close friend, was someone he knew roughly well. Since he was connected to the military region, he was naturally more cautious. He had originally thought that the village wouldn't be short of food, and that letting the two children have a good meal was a good idea. After all, the educated youth sent to the countryside were still villagers, so it wasn't unreasonable.
Seeing that Tiger acted like an older brother, leading them in line and giving directions, he was quite pleased. He then turned around and whispered to Uncle Liu.
"Third Uncle, your grandson is quite something, he's got the air of someone who's going to be a big shot."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion arose at the front of the line.
The child's screams
Then came the women's screams and curses.
Then there seemed to be many familiar voices trying to mediate, after all, eating meat is a big deal, it only happens once a year, and nobody wants to encounter bad luck.
Liu Weimin frowned, and Third Master Liu also frowned and stood up. It sounded like he could hear his son Huzi's voice.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Can't even stop eating meat from pissing your mouth?"
Liu Weimin shouted and pushed his way forward. The villagers in front of him made way for him, but the sight of what was happening in front of him made him furious. He rushed forward in a few steps.
"Who did this? Who did this?"
What's wrong with this meat? Doesn't it taste good? Are you just going to eat it like that?
Beside the pot of pork stew, Sun Erniu, who had just been separated from his wife, stood there helplessly, with a head full of pickled cabbage and a few slices of perfectly marbled pork belly.
The soup seeped into his clothes from his shoulders, trickled down his arms, and dripped onto the ground.
The food was freshly cooked, and although it was outdoors, the temperature was quite high. It scalded the child's face, making it bright red. Da Niu paced anxiously nearby, too afraid to even touch it.
"Erniu, does it hurt? Say something!"
Liu Weimin was so angry that smoke was practically billowing from his head.
"What happened? Who did this? Step forward!"
A woman standing nearby trembled and took two steps back, hoping to hide behind her husband.
Unfortunately, my teammates are unreliable and careless.
"Who told him to be so blind? I told him to move aside, but he wouldn't listen. He deserves to be taught a lesson."
Liu Weimin could tell at a glance that the fair-skinned young man wasn't from this village, so he naturally spoke to him without any politeness.
"Which village are you from? What are you doing here?"
"I'm from Chengjiabaozi. I'm here to see my sister. What's wrong with that?"
Chengjiabaozi was a well-known wealthy village in the commune. After all, it had a famous black fungus business, from which the villagers also benefited a lot, so they were naturally confident.
In previous years, Liu Weimin wouldn't have had this confidence, but this year is different; he's standing tall.
