I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Mom, if Dad really died in the war, the people from the county government would send him a pension and documents. If he doesn't receive these, Dad is still alive. We can't curse Dad to death, it's too unlucky."

Ji Xiaobei didn't want Lin to cry anymore, as it would seriously affect her mood.

"You three have eaten, go do what you need to do. Mom, you rest in the room for a while." Ji Xiaobei said with a wave of his hand.

She sat down at the door. She was so big that she looked like a door god.

Lin looked at her and felt more at ease. She knew that she wouldn't lose so badly in future fights with the second brother's family.

Xiaohua was playing with a wooden stick in the yard, Shitou was turning over and drying herbs, Xiaoju went to clean the kitchen, and Lin was mending a torn sock with needle and thread.

Calm returned to the yard.

Ji Xiaobei was leaning against the door frame and taking a nap. He felt sleepy after eating!

While she was dazed, there was another knock on the door behind her.

"Lin, are you home?"

"Sister Ji, are you okay?"

……

There was a chattering sound outside the door.

"She's locked herself up in the house. It looks like her husband must be dead."

"How could Ergou be wrong? He can't curse his own brother to death..."

"Ergou said that everyone at Ji Lao eats white flour and meat buns, and those are the greasy ones, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

"Ah, they used all the pension money to buy buns..."

……

Ji Xiaobei couldn't listen any more: Damn it, Second Uncle didn't get the upper hand here, so he didn't give up. I guess the whole village knows that Ji Daniu is dead now.

These women, the rumors they made up are a bit outrageous, it's like they ate meat buns stained with Ji Da Niu's blood...

It’s a pity that they don’t know yet that they have been divorced, otherwise they would definitely be the most beautiful girl in the village and would be criticized wherever they go.

"Stop knocking. If you break the door, you will have to pay for it!"

When they heard Ji Xiaobei's voice, the strength of the women banging on the door was obviously reduced by 50%.

"Xiaobei, let's go see your mother. You've told her such a big story. Can she bear it alone?" The speaker was Mrs. Song, the neighbor to the east.

"Aunt Song, what happened in my family? How come I didn't know about it?" Ji Xiaobei opened the door and asked coldly.

"Well, isn't it your father who died..." Mrs. Song asked in surprise.

"Your father just died?" Ji Xiaobei scolded rudely. These people were just here to watch the fun, and none of them were sincere.

"You..." Aunt Song's face turned pale with anger. Why did this girl still talk like that? She had been married for two years, and her mother-in-law hadn't disciplined her well?

Looking up and seeing Ji Xiaobei's strong arms, she didn't dare to continue.

After all, she had seen Ji Xiaobei riding on her son and beating him until he was black and blue.

Ji Xiaobei took the hoe from behind the door, spun it in the air twice, and said loudly: "If anyone spreads that my father is dead in the future, I will go to her house and chop her father to pieces. Do you hear me?"

The old women looked at the hoes above their heads and their faces turned pale with fright.

One of them was brave enough to say, "Xiaobei, why are you showing off at your mother's house?"

"What do you care about me? My mother hasn't said anything yet, why are you complaining?"

The old women were so frightened that they scattered like birds and beasts and ran away.

Ji Xiaobei put down the hoe and danced for a few rounds. He was really tired. Although his body looked mighty and strong, it was actually hollow inside and could not withstand any damage.

Xiaohua tried hard to purse her lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

She was once laughed at by her friends because her elder sister was rude and tough and could not get married. Now she feels that she needs to learn from her elder sister's tough and unreasonable behavior.

If my mother were like this, she wouldn't be bullied by others.

She reached for the hoe on the ground, oh my, it was so heavy!

It was difficult for her to lift it, and she looked at her elder sister with admiration.

Ji Xiaobei narrowed her eyes and looked at the dark and thin little girl in front of her. According to her previous professional habits, she would definitely pick her up, touch her, and praise her. But now she had no obligation to do these things and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

She circled around Ji Xiaobei several times, felt bored, and continued to pick up the wooden sticks with her butt sticking up.

In ancient times, children only played with wooden sticks, mud balls and the like, and she played with them all day without getting bored.

After taking a nap, Ji Xiaobei felt a little cold, so she stood up.

The yard was empty again. I guess her mother and others had gone to the fields. Spring planting was about to begin. The fields were flooded last year. After the water receded, every household plowed the fields. As soon as spring came this year, people started plowing the fields again.

Ji Xiaobei closed the door and walked towards his own field based on his memory.

The original grandmother had three sons, and her second and third uncles lived with her.

Ever since Ji Daniu went out to join the army, grandma separated the main house.

There were many people eating in the old house but few working, so grandma gave them two acres of thin land and sent the Lin family away.

Pay three kilograms of fine grain as monthly salary.

These three pounds of fine grains were squeezed out by the Lin family from their teeth.

The villagers were pointing and talking behind her back, but Ji Xiaobei pretended not to hear them. She suddenly turned around and went to the village head's house.

There were three shabby houses in the headman's house, with a piece of the door panel missing. Two children with snot bubbles running down their noses were lying on the ground playing with their heads together.

"Where is your grandfather?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

The two children didn't even raise their heads, but pointed: "Home!"

"Grandpa the village head!" Ji Xiaobei shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"Ji Xiaobei, why did you come back to your mother's house?" Ji Lizheng asked, and then he felt a little abrupt. This girl must have come back because she heard that her father had died.

"Village head! It's said outside that my father is dead. You have to take care of this matter!" Ji Xiaobei said with red eyes.

Ji Lizheng was stunned, thinking that this girl was so stupid, no wonder she couldn't get married in the past few years.

How could he, a village head, control the gossip of the old women? Could he just shut the old women's mouths? Even if he was a high-ranking official, he couldn't do that.

However, this kid knows how to care about his mother's family and is a good kid with a conscience.

The head of the village sighed and said, "Your father may not be dead. The official documents haven't come down yet!"

Ji Xiaobei choked up and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, I think so too. My father is very lucky and will be fine. Otherwise, what will we, an orphan and a widow, do?"

Seeing the big and strong girl sobbing, Ji Lizheng felt a little sad, after all, he had watched Ji Daniu grow up.

"Village head, if my father is really dead, the county government will send the pension to you first. That is what my father paid for with his life. It is the capital for my mother and my brothers and sisters to live. You have to make the decision for us."

Ji Xiaobei wiped away his tears and looked at the head of the village sadly.

Old Lady Ji, Ji Ergou, and Ji Sanhu all coveted this pension, and Lin was soft-hearted, so the people in the old house had always been taking advantage of her.

If Boss Ji really died, according to Old Lady Ji's character, it is possible that she would seize the money and drive them out as an orphan and a widow.

Ji Lizheng had known about this for a long time. He didn't care because it had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't just say that he didn't care.

When the head of the village was in a dilemma, his wife came out of the house, smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiaobei, although your grandfather is the head of the village, it is difficult for an official to judge family affairs. It is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in your family affairs!"
