Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

The news of the punishment from the divine stone spread throughout the village.

After a break, the villagers passed by the big locust tree intentionally or unintentionally.

Several people had not had water for a long time, their lips were stuck together, and they didn't even have the strength to shout for mercy.

"It seems there are no more bugs. The magic stone should have calmed down, right?"

"I think it should be. Just calm down, but please don't let it involve us. We finally have hope for the future."

The villagers were whispering to each other.

Yougen's mother jumped out from the side and stamped her feet in pain when she saw her son was in such a state that he was unrecognizable.

His face and neck were covered with red bumps. He didn't know where the damn bugs had bitten him. The corners of his mouth were twitching and he couldn't speak coherently.

Zhao Yougen was whimpering but couldn't speak clearly, and tears were streaming down his face in anxiety.

Yougen's mother's heart trembled: "My Yougen has been tortured like this, now he can finally be untied."

Reach out to untie the rope.

"No." The head of the village walked up to the crowd.

"Zhao Yougen brought outsiders into the village, which is no longer a simple theft. Every family in the village is living a difficult life. If he is let go so easily, the village will be in chaos."

The head of the village spoke in a loud and clear voice without showing any mercy.

Xiahe Village has always been peaceful. In the past, when the county held meetings, the village head always stood the straightest.

The village head thought about it for half a day and made up his mind to severely punish Zhao Yougen and not allow the evil trends to spread to Xiahe Village.

It was just afternoon now, and it was still early for him to go to the yamen to work.

"Youxi, tell your uncle Mazi to drive the ox cart over here."

The village head rang the gong to notify everyone in the village who wanted to exchange food to come over.

"Our village's ox cart was nearly robbed earlier. Now Xiahe Village must unite as one."

"Everyone, put down what you are doing and gather at the big locust tree in half an hour to exchange food. Take whatever hoes and sickles you have. I'll see who dares to steal them." The village head gritted his teeth.

The news spread to the Cui family's old house.

Cui Jingwen put the petition in his arms and gritted his teeth.

It's up to him next.

He would make Zhao Yougen regret coming here and give his mother some revenge.

The five men were tied up hands and feet and thrown onto an ox cart, surrounded by grain bags.

The bags were filled with chestnuts that each family wanted to exchange.

The five people finally lay down with the food as they wished, but the road led to the government office.

Behind the ox cart was a large group of nearly a hundred people from Xiahe Village, holding sticks and looking very aggressive.

Yougen's mother watched helplessly as the ox cart went farther and farther away, like a beast trapped in a cage, unable to shake off the villagers who were holding her.

Tears rolled down his face with trembling hands. It was all instigated by the people from Willow Village. That was why Yougen lost his mind for a moment.

Willow Village!

Yougen's mother suddenly remembered something, struggled to break free from the shackles, and ran towards Liushu Village with gritted teeth.

Half of the village was empty in an instant.

The cicadas chirped lazily, each one longer than the last, and the air seemed to stagnate.

Silang and Wulang followed the main force to the county to exchange food. Yu's side sent Dalang to go with them and brought along ten pounds of chestnuts from the upper room.

Lin also gave Cui Jingwen fifteen pounds of chestnuts in exchange.

Cui Chengliang did not go with them because he had more important things to do.

"Well, the original door frame was too old, so I made a new one." Facing Lin's puzzled gaze, Cui Chengliang tried to remain calm and said.

At his feet was a polished wooden frame, which should have been painted with tung oil, but he didn't have any on hand.

The wood is a pale white, smooth and clean.

Lin felt a little sorry: "The original repair can also be used, but I don't need it..."

He stopped talking midway.

What happened last night was ultimately because of her. They were living in the Cui family's house, and the Cui family did not blame them and was extremely tolerant.

What right does she have to say that someone is repairing his own door?

Cui Chengliang worked efficiently and had already started dismantling the old door frame.

In fact, after a night of destruction, the old door frame was already crumbling.

"It's better to live in a solid house with peace of mind. There's a pile of wood on the mountain. It's worth the effort to build a solid one."

While working, he spoke much more fluently.

Zhao Yougen had been busy last night, and not only did the door frame become loose, but a lot of soil also fell off the wall.

After removing the door frame, the bare edge of the door looks like a mouth of broken teeth.

Cui Jingwen mixed yellow mud with hay and carefully smoothed the edges of the wall.

The room was so small, and the man at the door was focused on his work, while Lin stood there, feeling a little embarrassed.

Why is there not even a trace of wind today?

Cui Chengliang wanted to say something to break the atmosphere.

"Actually, you don't have to..."

"Mom, what time is it?"

Cui Zhaozhao walked out from the inner room with sleepy eyes.

She didn't sleep for long last night. After lunch, she went back to her room to catch up on her sleep. I don't know if it was because she took too long a nap, but her head was still fuzzy.

Cui Chengliang swallowed his words back halfway through.

Cui Zhaozhao just noticed that there was someone else in the room, and his sleepiness was immediately dispelled. He called out softly, "Dad."

Although Lin didn't know what he was going to say, she felt inexplicably relieved when her daughter interrupted her, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It's past midnight."

Cui Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that Zhao Yougen was still tied under the big locust tree.

The honey should have been eaten up. The people from Liushu Village can be easily persuaded. Zhao Yougen is from Xiahe Village. What if Li Zheng shows some mercy and lets him go?

She has to go to the big locust tree to take a look.

"All the villagers followed the headman to the county town. Your second brother wrote a petition and went with them. If you want to play, go to your uncle's family." Lin stopped her calmly.

Cui Zhaozhao blinked and understood what his mother meant.

Zhao Yougen was sent to the government.

Then she would be relieved.

Cui Chengliang didn't say anything else and installed the door in silence.

He just wanted to tell Lin not to be afraid and to live here peacefully, and he would protect them.

But, he glanced at the mother and daughter who were whispering to each other.

Let’s talk about it later when we have the chance.

He gathered up his tools and returned to the upper room.

The mud on the door had not dried yet, so Cui Zhaozhao gently closed the door, fitting it tightly.

Originally, there was a piece missing from the left door hinge, and I had to lift the door leaf every time to close it tightly. Now I don’t have to do that.

I didn’t expect that my cheap dad was a craftsman.

In fact, after what happened last night, she was not as resistant to him as before. It was not that she wanted him to be with her mother, but that she accepted his presence in their lives.

Just like ordinary relatives.

We chat on weekdays and have a meal together occasionally.

We can maintain a polite distance from each other and still care about each other.

Seeing her daughter holding the door and not saying anything, Lin couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking," Cui Zhaozhao muttered to himself, "my cheap dad is a pretty good guy."

"Yeah, he's really good."

Lin agreed with her daughter. In her previous life, she had seen many couples’ relationships break down, some verbally abused each other, and some even fought each other.

The fact that they can live under the same roof so peacefully shows their character.

Of course, it would have been better if he hadn't abandoned his wife and children.

Thinking of what Cui Chengliang hadn't finished saying, what else did she need?

Is it because of Zhao Yougen's matter that you want to persuade them to move out?
