Time flies, and Qin Chengrui has been recuperating in Beishawozi Village for five days.
These past few days, Qin Feng had told him about the ambitions of his children. The eldest, Qin Muze, wanted to join the army and defend his country like his father and mother. He practiced Qin Family Boxing every day to exercise, and read military books and wrote his thoughts. The second, Qin Muxiao, was obsessed with making money, and spent every day thinking about how to do it. The third, Qin Muzhou, was particularly interested in water conservancy and sand control, and had come to this village with Ke'er to find water and dig wells, so that the villagers could have sweet water to drink and crops to irrigate. In the past few days, he had also gone to other villages in the commune to look for water. He was busy all day and never went home, even busier than him.
Qin Feng told Qin Chengrui he wanted to lease the loess hills behind his cave and across from it. He wanted to transform them into green hills covered with trees. Qin Chengrui listened attentively as Qin Feng explained how they would do it. He was astonished. If they succeeded, transforming the loess hills into green hills would be a great service to the country. He supported them, absolutely needed support. So, the uncle and nephew traveled back and forth to the commune and county seat for several days before finally securing the approval to lease the two loess hills.
When the villagers first heard that Qin Feng was going to lease the mountain to plant trees, they all thought it was a joke. Some people started to laugh at Qin Feng again, "This idiot from the Qin family is just an idiot. He's talking about the heavenly book here." "That's right, this guy can't be trusted to change for the better. He's still that lazy and cowardly."
Qin Feng just listened and didn't argue with them, but Ke'er couldn't stand it. She couldn't let these people talk about his heroic father. So, every now and then, anyone who said something bad about Qin Feng would suffer, depending on the severity of the incident.
Either he sprained his ankle when getting up at night, or he bit his mouth in the mud while walking in broad daylight. There was also an old lady sitting under the big elm tree at the entrance of the village, saying this and that about Qin Feng every day. After Ke'er found out, the old lady who said bad things about Qin Feng was the old lady from Sun Bailianhua's family whom Ke'er and her family met at the entrance of the village when they returned. Ke'er was so angry that she slapped a talisman on her body that would bring bad luck for a month. When Old Lady Sun went home for lunch at noon, she bit her tongue and blood flowed out. The next day, when she was weeding in the field, she was still mumbling to others about how she bit her tongue. As a result, she pulled out a green seedling. The village chief happened to pass by her and called the scorer to deduct ten points from her work. On the third day...
Ke'er doesn't care. As long as you don't say bad things about your father and your family, you will be safe and sound. Otherwise, humph.
When Qin Feng handed the approval documents for leasing two loess hills to the village chief and several people from the village committee, everyone was quite surprised. They really wanted to lease the loess hills to plant trees.
The village chief frowned and looked at Qin Feng, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he slowly asked Qin Feng, "Qin Feng, have you thought it through? Are you really going to rent Loess Mountain to plant trees? Tsk tsk, this is unreliable. You have five children in your family, and you're taking in another one. If you work hard, you can only have enough to eat. If you keep messing around, you'll end up with nothing to eat. What are you going to do?"
Accountant Liu also frowned, then nodded with a gloomy face, "That's right, Qin Feng, don't mess around. Go to work properly. At least you'll have food to eat at the end of the year."
Xue Dafeng, the women's director, rolled her eyes at Qin Feng. "What's the matter, Qin Feng? You still want to do nothing all day and bully Shu Wan, forcing her to work in the fields and take care of the children, and clean up your mess. Be a decent person, please."
Despite everyone's constant chatter and criticism, Qin Feng remained grateful. He could sense their genuine affection for him, especially the Director of Women's Affairs, who was truly kind to his wife. Qin Feng decided to treat Director Xue's husband better in the future, inviting him along whenever something good happened. Ke'er also decided to treat the children of these leaders' families better in the future.
When Qin Feng walked through the village from the village committee to his home, the villagers already knew that Qin Feng had obtained the approval documents to contract the loess mountain. This news was like pouring a bucket of water into a boiling oil pan, which exploded instantly. Qin Feng naturally became the focus of discussion in Beishawozi Village during this period of time.
Qin Feng's family didn't care about these sweet and savory discussions. They were busy planning how to control the desertification and plant trees and grass on the loess mountain, how to change the soil there, and how to improve the vegetation there. Everyone sat down and shared their suggestions and opinions, and introduced the books and materials they had collected. Qin Feng also made a purchase list for the tools, seeds, and other items needed to open up the mountain and plant trees.
When everyone in the family was getting ready to go up the mountain for a big job, something happened.
On this day, after dinner, Qin Muzhou and Qin Muchiao had not returned home yet. Li Shuwan anxiously looked outside the yard several times. The sun was about to set, but the children had not returned yet. Although Secretary Qian of the commune had asked someone to take care of them, she became anxious and worried when they were not back yet because they should have returned on time every day.
Qin Feng was also walking back and forth at the entrance of the village waiting for the children. Ke'er went into her house and teleported to Shangyang Village where her brothers were going in the morning. Shangyang Village was not on the line of the underground water source, so it was difficult to find a drinkable sweet water well. However, Shangyang Village was not far from the village that had found a water source and dug a sweet water well. One of them was on the east side of the main road leading to the commune, and the other village was on the west side of the main road, separated by a main road. Ke'er had suggested that a canal could be built and a bridge could be built over the canal, but all the villagers in Shangyang Village disagreed and insisted on finding a water source in their village.
"Swish, swish, swish", Ke'er teleported to Shangyang Village. As soon as she entered the village, she heard the crying of a child and the sound of shouting and swearing. Ke'er's face changed at this time, because the crying voice belonged to the third brother. She teleported into the crowd again, squeezed into the crowd and took a look. She was furious. A young man wearing glasses fell to the ground, covered in blood. The glass of his glasses was broken and it was not known whether it had pierced his eyes. His hands and feet were tied up with ropes. The third brother knelt beside him with his arms open to protect him. The people around him were holding shovels, hoes, and sticks. Each one of them looked ferocious, like a group of evil spirits.
The third brother's cheeks were covered with slap marks, which were red and swollen, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. The second brother was covered in sand and dirt, and was pinned down by a young man of eighteen or nineteen, who kept slapping his face and body with his hands. He could no longer recognize his true form, but he kept cursing, "Let go of Director Liu, don't hit my brother. What did my brother do wrong? He is only 10 years old. Do you have any shame? You are a beast, not a human being." The more he cursed, the harder the man hit him.
Ke'er pulled out the whip and today she was going to whip the bad guys.
With the sound of "crackling" whips, the crowd scattered. Today, the whip in Ke'er's hand could be long or short. Ke'er could always catch up with those who wanted to escape with the whip. She would wrap the whip around their waists or necks and throw them in front of her with a slight twist. More and more people fell down, not because they didn't want to beat Ke'er, but because they simply couldn't get close to the angry Ke'er.
Seeing that the people who were surrounded were standing far away, Ke'er stepped forward and pulled up the third brother. When Ke'er whipped the person who was pinning him to the ground, the second brother turned over, picked up a stick, and beat anyone he saw, protecting Ke'er and Qin Muzhou.
Qin Muzhou was already exhausted at this time, his body was limp, and he pointed at Secretary Liu on the ground with a hoarse voice and said, "Ke'er, look, he has been bleeding for a long time." After saying that, he fell to the ground.
