Zhang Hongmei got up groggily, and Zhang Shouyi still liked her the way she was; he was absolutely in love with her.
He held her close and kissed her passionately. "Wife, what should I do? I don't want to leave you."
Zhang Shouyi was becoming increasingly agitated. Zhang Hongmei's shirt buttons were all undone.
"Brother Zhang, no, child!"
Zhang Shouyi lay sprawled to one side, panting heavily.
Zhang Hongmei frantically put on her clothes. Seeing Zhang Shouyi's disheveled appearance, she laughed unkindly. She thought to herself, "Serves you right for being so improper."
"Honey, I'll keep a record of every single expense for you. When the time comes, you can figure out how to pay it back, principal and interest!"
Zhang Hongmei wasn't afraid at all. If she really was pregnant, it would be a year from now. She'd deal with it then; it would be foolish not to laugh now.
"Wife, are you acting with impunity?"
Zhang Hongmei remained silent, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
The two had just stepped out of the house when Li Cuihua burst in. "Hongmei, why didn't you tell me that shameless woman? I'll teach her a lesson one day."
"Auntie, it's alright. How could she possibly gain an advantage over me?"
Li Cuihua pulled Zhang Hongmei away from Zhang Shouyi and whispered, "Hongmei, are you pregnant?"
"It's not certain yet. Someone will take my pulse in a bit."
"Pregnancy is good too. You can have the baby while you're young and recover faster."
If you don't have one yet, don't worry. You two have just gotten together, and it's the sweetest time of your lives. Having a baby too early would disrupt your relationship.
Zhang Hongmei: You've said everything.
Even though they were far away, Zhang Shouyi's senses were sharp, and he certainly heard what Li Cuihua said. For such a sensible old woman, Zhang Shouyi decided that he would definitely treat them well.
"Han Mei, where are Grandpa and the others?"
"The former leaders were afraid of disturbing your rest, so they played chess in the new house."
Where is Jinsong?
"Jinsong played chess with the leader."
Zhang Hongmei understood immediately. They were short-staffed and needed to train new people.
"Third Aunt, you've come at the right time. I brought back a lot of things. Please choose first."
Just as Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, she heard a commotion outside the gate.
The mother and daughter didn't move, and Zhang Shouyi sat down next to them.
Han Mei came in immediately, but the door closed behind her.
"Sir, Madam, that woman from this morning brought more than a dozen strangers who were surrounding the door, all of them armed."
Zhang Hongmei was stunned. Carrying weapons? What kind of operation is this?
Suddenly, silence fell outside the door. Zhang Hongmei stood up, but Li Cuihua stopped her. "You wait in the yard. I'll go out and see what's going on. You shameless wretch."
"Han Mei, you go out with Third Aunt. Don't let her suffer any grievances." Zhang Hongmei instructed Han Mei, since she wasn't allowed to go out, she should stay put.
Upon opening the door, a hilarious scene unfolded. The dozen or so people Licun's mother had brought were all squatting on the ground, heads in their hands.
Four bodyguards, each holding a gun, pointed them at them.
Li Cuihua opened the door and saw the muzzle of a gun, which startled her.
"Auntie, don't worry, this is the leader's bodyguard."
"oh oh!"
"Tie them all up and send them to the city's Public Security Bureau. San'er, go there and explain the situation to the local police chief. They must punish them severely; the charges are 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' and 'attacking national leaders.'"
"yes!"
Li Cuihua stood there, staring blankly at them. She was truly terrified; she had never seen anything like it before.
A short while later, the truck arrived. The driver was a simpleton, but he was replaced by a fourth-year student.
"Boss, all the dangerous elements outside have been arrested."
"Send them away!"
"Yes, sir!"
Fourth Brother was driving, while Third Brother was in the back of the truck with a gun, watching them.
These people were terrified. They were all Li Cun's mother's brothers and nephews, and they had come to extort money from her. The sister had told her that this family was extremely wealthy; they had paid for all the buildings in the village. They were so blind as to beat up her sister, how could they miss this opportunity?
So after discussing it, everyone except the older folks came over. The initial plan was to give that good-for-nothing Liu Laogen a good beating first.
But he wasn't home, so more than ten people arrived here first. Unexpectedly, they found out the other party had guns.
Li Cun's mother was terrified. No matter how tough she was, she was only capable in her own neighborhood. How could she have ever seen a gun? She was so scared that she peed herself.
Before they even left, Wang Hongxi rushed over. Seeing this commotion, what couldn't she tell?
The people were all tied up and herded onto the cart one by one. They were also given the wooden sticks they had brought with them.
When Licun's mother saw Wang Hongxi, she felt that her savior had arrived.
“Village chief, are you just going to stand by and watch them actually do it? This is Liujiatun.”
Wang Hongxi cursed inwardly, thinking, "What an idiot!"
"What can I do? You brought your brothers from your mother's family to cause trouble in Liujiatun. Didn't you think that this was Liujiatun at that time?"
Besides, I'm powerless to do anything about this. These are our country's leaders; how dare you come here with weapons? You're just waiting to be shot.
Everyone was stunned by Wang Hongxi's words. What exactly was going on?
Zhang Hongmei hadn't left the courtyard at all; she was genuinely angry this time. They had all really disappointed her.
Is it that I've changed? Or were they always like this?
"Wife, there's no need to be angry."
“I know, Brother Zhang, I’ll go home with you. I’m really fed up.”
"Honey, of course I want to, but is your body ready?"
"Su Chen, come here and take my pulse. If there's nothing wrong, we'll go back tonight."
Also, I heard the village chief's voice; he said he'd invite my third uncle over in a bit, and we could distribute the things we brought to them.
"Wife, you didn't just say that in a fit of anger?" Zhang Shouyi was a little unsure.
"Yes, let's go back. This isn't my home anymore. Everything is changing, but I'm still stubbornly refusing to change."
"Honey, don't be sad. What happened? It's not a big deal. I'll get revenge for you in a bit."
Zhang Hongmei shook her head, "No need, Brother Zhang, I've already woken up from my childish dream, don't worry about me."
"It's alright, Su Chen, take a look?"
At this moment, Liu Aimin and his wife also arrived. Liu Maocai followed behind them.
Seeing this scene, the group knew that things were unlikely to end well.
"Hongmei, are you alright?"
"Auntie, I'm fine. I didn't see them. But I need to go back. I don't feel comfortable here."
"Girl, don't overthink it! That's just how they are."
"Uncle, it's alright, I want to go back. I can't stay outside for too long, that's not good and it's too much trouble."
Everyone fell silent. Wang Hongxi, standing to the side, gritted her teeth in anger!
