When Liu Mazi died, the people in the team didn't react much. Everyone felt that a scoundrel like him should have died long ago.
Liu Mazi's parents were both gone, and his relatives disliked him, so no one cared to find out how he died.
As for Liu Mazi's funeral, the brigade helped Yang Qian arrange it and they just found a random piece of land to bury him.
Yun Yan did not feel guilty after learning about Liu Mazi's death. She gave cephalexin to Yang Qian, guessing that she would definitely use it on Liu Mazi, and a scoundrel like Mazi did not deserve to die.
A few days later, Yang Qian took the initiative to ask Yun Yan to meet her, and met her at the place where Yun Yan gave her cephalexin.
"Yang Zhiqing, congratulations, you are finally free."
"I have to thank you very much, Yun Zhiqing. If you hadn't taught me how to use cephalexin to kill Liu Mazi silently, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."
"What did I teach you? What did you do, Yang Zhiqing? Liu Mazi's death was his own destiny. What does it have to do with us?"
"Yeah, we didn't do anything. Liu Mazi suffered the consequences."
"Yang Zhiqing, if you still want to live a good life in the future, you must keep this matter to yourself. No matter who asks, you must not reveal it."
Yun Yan understood that she and Yang Qian were now in the same boat, and if the truth came to light, neither of them would be able to get away with it.
After separating from Yang Qian, Yun Yan returned home. Taking advantage of the good weather, she took out a quilt from the space and put it in the sun to dry.
Then clean up all the remaining loaches and eels in the tank and pack them up.
The next morning, he rode his bike to the county town to find Li Chunsheng for the last transaction of the year.
Yang Qian was not idle either. She went to find Fang Hai first. As soon as Fang Hai saw her, he turned around and ran away.
Ever since Liu Mazi died, Fang Hai had a feeling that Yang Qian had killed him. He had been living in fear for the past few days, fearing that Yang Qian would kill him next.
Seeing Fang Hai running away when he saw her, Yang Qian showed a sarcastic smile and then went to find Li Shuwan.
Yang Qian found Li Shuwan washing clothes by the river and walked quietly behind her.
"Comrade Liu, please come to the shabby wooden house to meet me at 5 pm." Yang Qian said behind her back what was written on the note they used to frame her.
Li Shuwan had been unable to sleep at night in recent days due to the shock of Liu Mazi's death. When she suddenly heard these words behind her, she immediately stopped what she was doing.
When he turned around, he found Yang Qian staring at him from behind. He screamed and was so scared that he almost fell into the river.
When Yang Qian saw this, she immediately reached out and pulled her back. She couldn't let this woman die so easily.
Li Shuwan was pulled back to the shore, still in shock, but soon regained her usual arrogant demeanor.
"Yang Zhiqing, do you know that scaring others can kill them?"
"Really? I only know that as long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Li Shuwan, I know everything you have done to me. Just wait, I will never let you have an easy time." Yang Qian stared at Li Shuwan and said viciously.
"What are you talking about? What did I do to you?" Li Shuwan said stubbornly.
"Humph, do you think Fang Hai will keep a secret for you? I just scared him a little bit, and that wimp told him everything."
Yang Qian decided to let Li Shuwan and Fang Hai fight each other, and she could watch the show from the side.
Sure enough, when Li Shuwan heard that it was Fang Hai who betrayed her, she secretly cursed Fang Hai in her heart as a useless coward.
"So what if it was my plan? Can you report to the police now? Who will believe you?" Li Shuwan said confidently.
"Li Shuwan, since I have a way to make Liu Mazi die quietly, I also have a way to make you follow in his footsteps. Let's wait and see." After saying that, Yang Qian left.
Li Shuwan was frightened after hearing what Yang Qian said before she left. She used to use tricks to harm people, but Yang Qian used tricks to kill people.
After returning to the educated youth site in a restless mood, she saw Fang Hai, who was so scared by Yang Qian that he didn't go to work. Thinking of Yang Qian saying that Fang Hai betrayed her, she immediately pounced on Fang Hai and slapped him in the face.
"Fang Hai, are you still a man? You're a coward and a wimp. Yang Qian just threatened you a few times, and you betrayed me."
Fang Hai was slapped for no apparent reason. After hearing what Li Shuwan said, he became even more furious. He grabbed Li Shuwan and pushed her to the ground.
"So what if I betray you? You were the one who came up with the idea, but you want me to take the blame all by myself? Dream on!"
"Li Shuwan, let me tell you, if anything happens to me, I will definitely drag you down with me to be buried with me."
After hearing what he said, Li Shuwan was certain that he was the one who told Yang Qian that she was also involved in the conspiracy to murder her, and she immediately stood up from the ground and wrestled with her.
Yang Qian stood outside the educated youth site, listening to the sounds coming from inside, and felt very happy.
When the other people from the educated youth camp returned, they saw the yard in a mess and were curious about what had happened.
After dinner, Yun Yan went to the village entrance to chat about gossip with the aunts and sisters. After returning home and washing up simply, she took out new sheets and laid out a thick blanket and quilt.
She entered the space when she had nothing to do, intending to sort out her assets.
I have been here for more than half a year, and there are only 6,000 kilograms of rice left that I collected, more than 2,100 kilograms of flour left, three barrels of oil left, and one-third of pork and lard left. The eggs, fruits and other things are long gone.
After counting her supplies, Yun Yan calculated her current savings and found she had over 3,200 yuan. It seemed selling loaches and eels was still very lucrative, and she would have to continue this business next year.
Then came the antiques and paintings she had exchanged for. Yun Yan saw the red sandalwood dressing box that had been discarded. If she hadn't been tidying up her space today, she would have almost forgotten about it.
Yun Yan picked up the dressing box and knocked on it, then took out a small knife and slowly pried it open along the bottom layer inside the dressing box.
There was indeed something inside. Who would have thought that a dressing box could contain a full hundred small yellow croakers? If this were in the 21st century, it would be enough to buy an apartment in a third-tier city.
After everything was sorted out, Yun Yan left the space and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
A few days later, the brigade began to harvest the second crop. The autumn harvest was not as tiring as the summer harvest, but it was not easy either.
The autumn harvest mainly includes soybeans, sesame seeds, cotton and sweet potatoes. Yunyan was assigned to pick cotton this time.
After ten days of hard work by everyone, the autumn harvest was successfully completed. After paying the public grain, the brigade distributed the grain again.
This time, Yunyan exchanged her work points for sweet potatoes, soybeans and sesame seeds, and also paid for 100 kilograms of rice.
After the autumn harvest, the entire brigade began to hibernate. This was a good thing for people like Yunyan who did not rely on work points, but it was not so good for those who relied on work points to support their families.
No work points means no income, so during the winter, the entire team only had two meals a day, and they could only eat until they were 60% full at most.
