"No, no, our family is still waiting for us to go back for the New Year reunion, so we won't bother you anymore. We'll come over to wish you a happy new year tomorrow!"

On the first day of the New Year, villagers usually visit each other to wish each other a happy new year. On the second day, guests start to come to each house, and it becomes inconvenient at that time.

Ma Guofu also knew that today was the reunion day, so he did not keep the person. He sent the person to the door and then turned around and went into the house.

Soon he was surrounded by people and asked what was going on. Ma Guofu didn't want to say anything, but Wang Guihua told him everything.

"I was wondering why the Lu family came back to the village together today. Turns out they were bullying us!"

"you saw it?"

"Yes, I bumped into him when I entered the village. I asked him about it and he said he was going back to his house to check. Now I know that it was the widow Li who instigated him to chase him away.

What's wrong with Widow Li's heart?

"Pfft~ He definitely doesn't want to serve the elderly and wants to be served all the time. The two elderly people gave away their house to deal with the aftermath, so he is despised when he comes here. Otherwise, why didn't he make a fuss before?"

Her words aroused the approval of others, and they began to nod in agreement.

Suddenly I felt sad and pity for the people in the Qi family.

Qi Chunsheng and Qi Peng hesitated for a long time after walking some distance away from the village chief's house. They glanced around and made sure that no one was around before trotting forward and lowering their voices to ask, "Dad, will this give us away?"

He felt a little guilty, as many things were different from what his father said.

Qi Chunsheng didn't even stop. Unlike the sadness he had just shown at the village chief's house, his face was solemn and cold at this moment.

When he heard his son's words, his eyes did not waver at all.

He replied calmly, "For things without evidence, whoever speaks louder and first is right."

What this means is that no matter how two people got together in the first place, it doesn't matter what the truth is. If you speak first, others will take your answer as the correct one.

As for the people behind, no matter whether what they say is right or not, others will only quibble and make explanations.

Even if there are mistakes or omissions, people will be willing to make excuses for you.

Qi Peng was stunned. After a while, his face regained its spirit. Seeing this, Qi Chunsheng raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

But they don’t know how much harm their behavior will cause to others.

……

The night wind was blowing, and every household in the village gathered in the firewood room chatting, waiting for twelve o'clock to pass, so that they could set off firecrackers and welcome the new year.

Most people in the village do not have watches, so in order to welcome the new year on time, they usually go out to check from time to time. The village chief has a clock at home.

Once the village chief's family sets off firecrackers, other families will follow suit.

On the other side, in a small house not far from the cowshed, Xiao Wen turned off the lights early. To her, there was no difference between the New Year and the old year.

There is no difference except leaving here and finding that person to take revenge.

So I went to bed early after dinner.

The people imprisoned in the cowshed rarely gathered together to talk, and they chatted around the pile of firewood.

Today is Chinese New Year, and the team leader sent them some gifts. The weather has been cold recently and they don’t have to work much, so it’s a rare time to relax.

Therefore, several people have the energy to sit together and chat at this time before going to bed.

They had no money to buy firecrackers, but that did not stop them from looking forward to the arrival of the new year. Although they were talking, they kept their eyes out the window, waiting for the people down the mountain to start setting off firecrackers so that they could also have some fun.

"Hey, it looks like it's snowing."

The people in the room immediately looked out the window, and some even opened the door and walked out. Looking up, they saw white specks of snow falling under the pitch-black night.

"It's really snowing. They say auspicious snow means a good harvest. I think things will get better and better next year!" The person who spoke had hair like a chicken coop.

But the hopeful light on his face made him look energetic and clean.

The people around him were also inspired by his emotions and said with high spirits:

"It will be fine, it will definitely be fine!"

"Yes, it will be fine!"

These words are spoken to others, but also to myself. If I don't have hope in my heart, after experiencing such a blow and disappointment, how can my body withstand it, but how can my spirit withstand it?

"Did you hear any sound?" Han Zhendong said.

He frowned and pricked up his ears as if to listen. The people around him instinctively tensed up when they heard what he said.

Even her breathing froze, and she was so nervous that she could only turn her eyes to look at Han Zhendong:

"What, what's wrong?"

They had some stress reactions from what happened back then. Although they were not treated harshly in the village, they still went through a dark period when they were sent down to the countryside.

Suddenly, the other person's ears moved, he stood up and said seriously:

"I think I heard someone shouting for help?"

They looked at each other, with struggle and hesitation in their eyes, but soon they all ran towards the cabin on the side of the mountain.

Living there was Xiao, an educated youth who had lived in the cowshed for a period of time. Later, he moved out and built a house not far away. He often gave them food.

The few of them ran very fast. The closer they got, the more they could hear cries for help. However, the voices did not sound familiar. Instead, the cursing sounded very much like Xiao Zhiqing's voice.

When everyone rushed to the door, they pulled it open and vaguely saw two people wrestling on the ground.

Hearing the noise, they both looked towards the door at the same time.

Xiao Wen spoke first:

"Uncle Han, please don't come in, or I'll cause you trouble. Please help me call the village chief and the party secretary over. Someone here wants to kill me!"

When Han Zhendong heard Xiao Wen's first words, he hurriedly stopped, but after hearing the second sentence, he looked at Xiao Wen worriedly:

"Are you sure everything is alright here?"

"It's okay. I have the bitch pinned down. You just have to be quick," she said breathlessly.

Han Zhendong heard her speak so clearly and thought that nothing was wrong, so he said to the person next to him:

"Feng Min, Lu Rong, you two stay here and watch. I'll be right over!"

Feng Min and Lu Rong nodded, knowing that if they went in, it would cause trouble for Xiao Wen.

But they would not leave either. If they left, what would happen if something happened to Xiao Wen?

They stand at the door so that if something goes wrong, they can go forward to help.

However, when the people in the room heard that Han Zhendong was really going to look for someone, they were so scared that they yelled, "Stop, stop right there."
