Three Women in the Cage

These people quickly bought a few relatively new large pieces of furniture, and then they began to set their sights on some small items.

The new hoes, shovels, winnowing baskets, and bamboo hats in the utility room became items they picked up at random, and were eventually bought at the same low price.

Even the few chickens and ducks outside, and the eggs that Yang Yu had been reluctant to eat, were snatched away at a low price.

The village chief looked at the small amount of change in his hand and thought it was far from enough. Looking at the two locked cabinets in the main room, he knew that they were filled with grain.

If he sold these grains at a low price, the shortfall could be made up a little. He called Zhang Erfa and asked him to open the cabinet.

Zhang Erfa didn't feel anything at all about these people unscrupulously carrying away his belongings. It seemed that as long as they didn't lock him up, he could accept anything.

When he was asked to open the cabinet, he went over without hesitation, but when he saw the lock on it, he seemed a little embarrassed.

All the food in the house was grown by Yang Yu himself, and he never took care of it. Yang Yu was afraid that he would steal it to honor his family, so he often locked it up to prevent him from having the chance to do so.

For a moment he forgot about this matter.

"Village Chief Li, it's not that I don't want to open it for you, it's just that I don't have the key with me..."

The village chief searched him and found that the key was not on him. He thought to himself that the woman was really amazing. She had run away for a while and was caught when she came back, but she was still able to keep the two cabinets of food in her hands.

The woman was too stubborn, and it was difficult to get the key from her. If I made her angry, and something happened to her while she was locked up in there, I would be in big trouble.

After thinking about it, he decided to let it go, but he was also reluctant to let them go. Looking at the empty house that had been moved out, his gaze suddenly shifted to the bedroom.

There was only one large wooden bed with a tent hanging across it in the spacious bedroom. The village chief called his people over and asked them to move it out and continue the auction.

They moved everything into the house, even the only bed. Huanhuan and Yaya could no longer control their fear and started crying.

They walked up and grabbed the thighs of the person moving the bed, begging: "Please, don't move the only bed in our house. Mom and sister will have no place to sleep when they come back. Please..." They cried as they pulled.

But no matter how they cried and yelled, those people ignored them. The one whose foot was grabbed felt that they were in the way and kicked them without any hesitation, "Go away! Go away! If you hinder us again, we will catch you too!"

Huanhuan and Yaya were pushed aside, wiping their tears and crying. Zhang Erfa was annoyed and growled in a low voice, "Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry all day long! It's all your mother's fault! And you still have the nerve to cry in front of me!"

"Just like your useless mother, she does terrible things all day long. She's so unlucky! Why did I marry her in the first place?"

He felt that all the current misfortunes were caused by Yang Yu. He blamed her for not being able to give birth to a son, which made his parents dislike him even more. Not only did he blame her for not being able to give birth to a son, but she also gave him a bunch of useless girls.

It's bad enough that he has a bunch of girls, but he also caused so much trouble. Not only did he not get fined, but his house was even emptied out!

This woman is simply bringing bad luck to me. Nothing she does makes me happy.

Then I thought of her bad temper all day, her bad relationship with her parents, the messy relationship between her brother and his wife, and she had a bad face every day, annoying people everywhere.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this woman is useless. Looking at the two girls who just cry all day, I get even more angry.

He paced around the room in frustration, wanting only to go out and cool down, but the auction outside hadn't ended yet, so he had no choice but to wait inside.

Finally, when the sun set in the west, the noise outside gradually died down. The village chief counted the money in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

Although it does not reach the amount of the previous fine, it is enough to get the job done. Besides, isn’t the main purpose to deter these people?

If anyone dares to have more children than allowed, your house will be emptied out and you will have to sleep on the floor!

Having achieved his goal, he thought he had handled it well and was anxious to report to the leader.

So he simply packed up his things and hurried to the family planning station with the money.

Before he came, the man had already heard the general situation report from his subordinates and was quite satisfied with the handling of the matter.

As soon as he saw the fat village chief come in, he stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and invited him to take a seat.

"Well done! As expected, Brother Li has a solution! I will definitely report the truth when the time comes!"

The village chief was already very happy when he heard his praise, and quickly handed over the money he had collected respectfully.

The man accepted the money with a smile on his face and said, "It's already been done. Now I still need you to help me escort the person I'm holding out. Don't let anything happen to me!"

"Of course! I'll go and take her back safely right now and won't let her get into any trouble!"

The village chief then said goodbye and went to where Yang Yu was imprisoned.

Seeing the sudden visit from the village chief, Yang Yu looked at him puzzledly. "Why are you here? Where are the people from the workstation?"

"Are you in charge of the people at that workstation? Stop talking nonsense. You can go now and take your child back with you!" The village chief said directly without any nonsense.

Yang Yu was puzzled. He was released just like that? Did he pay the fine? As soon as this thought came to his mind, he rejected it. It was impossible! How could Zhang Erfa have so much money to pay the fine?

But she knew that it was even more unlikely that they would let her go so easily. Why? She couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Seeing Yang Yu not wanting to leave, the village chief said impatiently, "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave now, I'll regret it!"

Coming to her senses, she realized that she had wanted to go out in the first place. She had two children to take care of, so how could she not go out? Hearing the village chief's impatient tone, she didn't want to argue with him.

He picked up Xinxin and hurried out.

When I came out and looked at the place outside, I felt a little strange. I didn't know where I was.

The village chief let her out and ignored her, only telling her to walk along the path and she would reach the village in half an hour.

The path was obviously rarely visited, and it was surprising that their workstation was located there.

Without thinking any more, he held the child and walked towards the path step by step. As expected, he did not meet anyone along the way. Yang Yu had been on a hunger strike for the past two days and had not eaten anything. His body was very weak at the moment.

It took more than an hour to walk the distance that was supposed to take half an hour.
