You can tell from the sound that they're going hunting in the mountains.
However, most of them didn't expose it, except for those they particularly disliked.
Zhao Wen is one of them.
With the weather getting colder and less work in the fields, there's more time for gossip.
In the fields, Zhao Wen listened to Chen Ergou's stammering apology over the loudspeaker while finding fault with him.
"...What nonsense about knowing he was wrong. He'll definitely go back next time. He's the one who dug the most traps on the mountain. The captain should have done something about it a long time ago."
"Sneak hunting, what is that called? That's called encroaching on public property, and this kind of behavior deserves criticism and struggle."
Zhao Wen's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke.
But he didn't notice the person listening nearby slowly moving away from him.
After all, according to Zhao Wen's statement, no one can give special treatment to others anymore.
If you hunt pheasants or rabbits in the mountains, you must hand them all over to the authorities.
Otherwise, it would be misappropriation of public property.
That means they are guilty.
They were to be arrested and subjected to public criticism.
Ugh... That's terrifying!
"Alright, you're so quick to shut up, always babbling on and on." Zhang Hongxia interrupted her son.
This is never going to end; they want to offend everyone in the entire brigade.
Zhao Wen pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Anyway, I didn't lie."
Zhang Hongxia glared at him.
How unlucky she is.
My biological son is both stupid and unfilial.
She glanced up and saw her own unjustly married daughter-in-law still smirking because her husband had been scolded by her.
I was so angry I almost fainted!
The whole family is heartless.
Over the loudspeaker, Chen Ergou finally finished speaking and let out a heavy sigh.
With a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, he swaggered into the field.
I could hear Zhao Wen talking about him from a great distance.
She snorted and said, "It's better than some men who are always cheating on their wives, even their own. They're shameless."
Chen Ergou clicked his tongue twice, patted Zhao Wen on the shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Do you know who that person is?"
Zhao Wen glared at him with a dark expression.
Chen Ergou laughed heartily and rolled his eyes at him.
What's wrong with him going hunting in the mountains?
I didn't steal it; I earned it through my own labor.
It's better than some people who stay at home and sponge off their wives, mothers, and brothers.
He glanced at Zhao Wen with disdain.
Zhao Wen's eyes gleamed coldly.
Chen Ergou was not afraid at all, and gave him another glare, saying slowly, "This guy is really shameless."
"Alright, this isn't over yet. My Zhao Wen came up the mountain to find you this time." Zhang Lanhua couldn't stand it anymore. She reached out and said, "No matter what, you should give us something to thank everyone for saving our lives. You can't just brush it off without mentioning it."
Chen Ergou frowned, pointed to the loudspeaker, and said, "Didn't you hear me thanking everyone so loudly?"
"What sincerity is there in a verbal apology? It's just empty words, and it's like farting afterward," Zhang Lanhua said disdainfully.
Fang Yuyan, who was watching the show, burst out laughing.
If you can, say more.
Chen Ergou choked for a moment, turned around and called out "Mother," then asked, "Did my father save him before?"
Meng Taohua said loudly, "Yes!"
Chen Ergou also reached out his hand and said, "Your family should repay my father's life-saving grace first."
Zhang Lanhua frowned, looked at her mother-in-law, scratched her head, and asked, "Is that so?"
Zhang Hongxia said reluctantly, "Yes, we should have given them something back then. Our family isn't the kind that forgets to repay kindness."
All right!
The two sides are at odds.
Chen Ergou generously said, "If I can't remember, it means I haven't repaid the life-saving grace. Then these two things cancel each other out. From now on, I won't owe you anything, and you won't owe me anything."
That way, I won't have to threaten him with the debt of saving my life all the time.
So many people went up the mountain to look for him that day.
Why did you bring it up when no one else did?
Not kind at all.
When he came down the mountain, he was dazed but not completely unconscious, and he clearly felt someone kick him a few times.
It's definitely Zhao Wen, that wicked guy.
Zhang Hongxia overheard the gist of the conversation, then tugged at Zhao Wen's sleeve and whispered, "Forget it, don't bother arguing with this idiot, or you'll get scammed again."
I got scammed a while ago. I worked for so long, why haven't I learned my lesson yet?
Zhao Wen was a little unconvinced and wanted to argue again, but his mother pinched him hard.
He bared his teeth, pried his mother's hand away, and said, "Alright, alright, forget it, I won't argue with you."
Chen Ergou snorted twice, his expression disdainful.
Then, he looked at the other people who had gathered to watch the spectacle, and his long-sluggish mind suddenly worked, and he bowed deeply.
With a somewhat sincere expression, he said, "Thank you all for saving my life this time. I will never refuse to help you if you ever need my help in the future."
Meng Taohua wiped away her tears with relief and said, "My son has finally become sensible."
Everyone was very pleased.
A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold!
As long as you acknowledge your mistakes and correct them, that's fine.
Deputy Captain Zhou stepped forward and patted Chen Ergou on the shoulder, saying, "You can't be as lazy and cunning as before. We'll all be watching you."
Chen Ergou's smug smile froze on his face.
Everyone was watching him.
It's over!
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Deputy Captain Zhou patted him on the shoulder again and said, "It's enough to admit your mistakes and correct them. There's no need to feel ashamed over your mistakes."
Meng Taohua also said with a smile, "What's past is past, let's look forward."
Zhao Wen looked puzzled, but forgave him.
Deputy Captain Zhou, have you forgotten that he used to steal your family's eggs and you chased after him and beat him up!
