Chapter 248: Those Years in the Great Northern Wilderness (84)
Ren Jinxue waved his hands impatiently, "Alright, take the kids home quickly. The deputy commander is not at home at all. He went to the machinery factory early in the morning to work on improving the combine harvester. He is busy with the major affairs of the Corps, so who has the time to deal with such trivial matters?
It's just a fight between kids, what's the big deal? Yi An fights every day, and suffers a lot of losses. What did Deputy Commander Zheng and the others say? "What a worry.
Yi'an's mouth twitched. He didn't care about his face. Besides, he didn't really suffer any loss. When he hit people, he specifically hit them where it hurt. Others would never see it unless they lifted their clothes.
Li Sheng was also very angry, fearing that he would be kicked out of the corps. Someone suggested that he should take the blame, so he really came.
Seeing that he had backfired, he was panicked and afraid. He immediately pointed out the man who had come up with the idea and pointed at Shi Quezi in the crowd, "I... I didn't want to come. It was him, Shi Quezi, who said that I should do this... The deputy commander will have to forgive me even if he doesn't want to." If the matter got out of hand, it would be difficult to expel him from the regiment.
Damn, this Li Sheng is really a piece of shit!
Shi Quezi, who was hiding in the crowd and watching what happened next, was so shocked that he cursed Li Sheng's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
Shi Quezi? Isn't he a distant relative of the regiment commander's wife? His wife and the regiment commander's wife get along like sisters.
No one is a fool, and everyone understood what was going on immediately.
When Shi Quezi saw that things were going to get bad, he limped over to Zhou Jufang to report the news. Of course, he omitted the fact that he had instigated others and only said that Li Sheng had done something stupid and might implicate her.
Zhou Jufang was so angry that she went to Li Sheng's house to settle the score.
At that time, Li Sheng had just brought Li Laidi back and had not changed his clothes yet. Wang Xiufen was in the house angrily scolding Li Laidi as a "jinx".
Zhou Jufang started to speak out immediately. She is no longer a cadre and does not need to worry about her image. She can curse as harshly as she wants.
Li Sheng didn't dare to talk back when he was scolded. He slapped Li Laidi on the back and kicked her in the leg. "You jinx! Why don't you kneel down and apologize to Mrs. Tuancheng?"
Zhou Jufang: “…”
She was so angry that her face turned red, but she knew she couldn't make any more trouble, otherwise it would have a bad influence on Old Wu. She walked away with gritted teeth, thinking bitterly in her heart that she must make their family look bad, otherwise everyone would think she was easy to bully.
Li Sheng's face turned blue and purple, and he used the branch to hit Li Laidi hard. Li Pandi suddenly pursed her lips and said, "Dad, otherwise, don't let her go to school. She has caused so much trouble because of her going to school."
Li Laidie looked at her third sister in shock. She was usually silent, but as soon as she opened her mouth she decided her future. She knelt on the hot ground but felt cold all over and a chill in her heart.
Li Sheng took out a cigarette and took a deep puff. "What do you know? The teacher said that the fourth child is a good student. Maybe he will really have a bright future and live up to his ancestors."
But he can't keep causing trouble like this. He can't afford to offend either the captain or the deputy captain, but this damn girl dared to cause trouble inside. She is going to get him killed.
Thinking of this, he hit her again out of resentment. Li Laidie's back felt burning with pain, but she didn't dare to cry out, or else her father would hit her even harder. She could only hold her body and tremble.
Seeing that Li Laidi was truly pitiful, the people outside the hospital gave him some advice, "Come on, Old Li, if you really beat the child to death, you will have to spend money to buy medicine."
Only then did Li Sheng throw away the branch, sighed, and walked into the house with a hunched back.
Some people shook their heads and said, "Wasn't Li Sheng like this before?"
"Why else? I don't have a son, and my family is a mess. I feel like there's no hope in life. I'll just muddle along. Anyway, I don't have any filial sons or grandsons to break clay pots for."
The man next to him felt that he was being implied. He also had only one daughter. What's wrong with a daughter? She was his treasure! He immediately retorted unhappily, "Your idea is wrong. Men and women are the same. The great man said that women can hold up half the sky. What's wrong with not having a son? If you don't have a son, you can still marry him in? A son-in-law is half a son. He can take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."
Marry a son-in-law!
Li Laidi raised her head suddenly, hope rekindled in her eyes. Yes, she could still marry a son-in-law, and she still had a way to continue her studies.
When Yun Tinglan brought Yining back on a bicycle, she saw the water stains at the gate of the courtyard and didn't think much about it. It was a hot day and it was normal to splash water to cool down.
But what about those watermelons piled up at the door?
Yi An's body froze, and without even turning his head, he pretended to eat the watermelon. "Oh, it's not that hot, our watermelon harvest is great again, please have a few."
It was not a big deal, so Yun Tinglan didn't take it to heart.
People she knows often go to pick one or two watermelons from her fields, and people also send her fruits and vegetables from time to time. No one really cares about the gains and losses.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden loud "bang" from the family area. Both of them woke up and were thinking of going to see what was going on.
Ling Xi said, "It's just a child's prank."
So that's it. Yun Tinglan yawned, but Song Jinhan's eyes flickered. He patted Yun Tinglan and told her to continue sleeping, and he went to go see the two children.
It took quite a while for the man to be gone. When he came back, Yun Tinglan could smell a faint odor. She shrugged her nose and asked, "Is it time to clean the dry toilet? Or is the wood ash gone?"
Song Jinhan smelled the clothes and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. His nose was quite sensitive. He went to take another bath. After smelling the scent of soapberry, Yun Tinglan was willing to let him hug her to sleep.
Early the next morning, Yun Tinglan was woken up by a scolding. It was Zhou Jufang's voice, and she could hear the anger in that voice across the yard.
What's going on? Yun Tinglan came out with a frown on her face. Zhou Jufang's finger was about to poke Yi'an's head. Her face sank. She protected the child behind her and pushed Zhou Jufang back a few steps. "If you have something to say, tell us. Dare you touch my son and try it?"
"You came at the right time. Today I will beat your whole family to death for throwing firecrackers into my toilet in the middle of the night..." Having said this, Zhou Jufang paused, obviously not wanting to recall that scene.
Needless to say, she already had the picture in her mind.
Yun Tinglan suddenly felt uncomfortable in his nose, and took the child back a few steps. He took the broom handed over by Ling Xi, distanced himself from Zhou Jufang, and said to her: "Just stand there and talk."
It stinks!
That disgusted expression almost made Zhou Jufang cry. No one should bully others like that. Looking at the people around her, they wanted to join in the fun, but they all covered their noses, as if there was something dirty on her body.
She was furious, her voice shrill, "I took a shower, three times!!!" and I used soap!
It's fine if others despise her, but your child is the culprit, how dare you provoke others like this! Zhou Jufang has never been so embarrassed in her life, and she wanted to eat him at this moment, "Get out of the way, my old Wu is not easy to deal with, I must break Zheng Yian's legs. You are a wicked thing, your parents don't care about you, I will teach you a lesson for them!"
As she said this, she wanted to go forward and hit someone, but Yun Tinglan swung a broom at her, scaring Zhou Jufang so much that she stepped back repeatedly.
Yun Tinglan said coldly, "I sympathize with your experience, but what makes you say that Yi An did it? You should at least provide evidence. If you just say that, I will accuse you of slander. You live in the east, and I live in the west. There are hundreds of households in between. Many of them have dogs. Whenever someone passes by, they will bark. Ask them if they heard the noise? And who saw Yi An?"
Indeed, the dogs in the Corps are all wolfhounds. They are very ferocious and will bark at the slightest noise.
