When Gu Qingyu heard the word "working group", she was stunned. What working group? As she listened to people chattering on the way, she realized it was the land reform working group.

At this time, land ownership reforms were being carried out across the country, distributing land to landless people.

As mentioned earlier, 90% of the people in Gujia Village were tenant farmers, and the same was true of Xiaao Village. Both villages were located near the edge of the Yunwu Mountains. Xiaao Village was surrounded by mountains on two sides, while Gujia Village was even worse off, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with little arable land. It could be said that these two villages were the poorest in Hongqi Town, and it was almost impossible to tell which was which.

"I've heard that the town next door has already divided up the land. It seems they're not only dividing the land but also classifying people as different classes!"

"What are the ingredients?" someone asked in confusion.

"Landlords, rich peasants, poor peasants, and so on."

When Gu Qingyu and his team arrived at Xia'ao Village, the land distribution hadn't yet been completed. As mentioned earlier, the Cui family had fallen, and his land in Xia'ao Village had been reclaimed by the state. Now the working group's task was simple: to distribute the land equally according to the population of Xia'ao Village.

However, one family stood out among the generally dark and thin crowd. They weren't exactly plump, but they were healthy and robust. Especially the original heroine, Ma Jiaojiao, who looked about two or three years old, with a small bun in her hair, and was plump, fair, and adorable. This was the family of Cui Yinpeng, who had changed his name to Ma Jianshe.

But the situation is a bit bad now. The landlord Cui family used to exploit their tenants very severely, and every year many elderly people in these families could not survive the winter.

Cui Yinpeng was the one who was in charge of collecting rent in the Cui family. Now he has fallen from power and has become Ma Jianshe. His class status has been classified as poor peasants. Several households did not care how unhappy Ma Shuanzi's face was and just made trouble.

"Leader! Whether Cui Yinpeng is a member of the Ma family is not up to Ma Shuanzi to decide. His family should be classified as landlords!"

"That's right! Look at them, how can they be called poor peasants? Isn't this just fooling people?"

When Cui Yinpeng saw that the situation was not right, he moved to the side and winked at his mother Chunmei.

Gu Qingyu had been staring at the Ma family. At this moment, she found that the woman named Chunmei stood up, her eyes quickly filled with tears, and she cried to the people around her and the leaders of the working group.

All I could hear was her eyes filled with misery as she said, "Dear fellow villagers and leaders, I, Chunmei, have been a slave in the Cui family since I was little. I have never had a good day. The rich old man Cui took me away by force! I am a working class who was exploited in the old society! The government is now trying to liberate people like me so that we can be masters of our own destiny. Besides, my son reported the Cui family as counter-revolutionaries, which is a meritorious service to the new government."

After she finished speaking, her legs softened and she fell towards Ma Shuanzi, while at the same time she pinched Ma Shuanzi's waist subtly with both hands.

"Leader! Jianshe is my son! Back then, Chunmei and I were forced to separate by Landlord Cui. Now the government emphasizes freedom of marriage. Chunmei and I went to the new government office to get our marriage certificate yesterday."

At one point, the husband claimed to be right and the wife claimed to be right. The two sides were arguing with each other and the leaders of the working group had to get together to discuss what to do.

At this time, Aunt Zhang Zaohua came to Qingyu and the others and said, "Mom! We can't get any results right now. Should we go to the old hunter's house to check on the ewe first and come back later?"

So the Gu family members walked towards the old hunter's house at the end of the village. The old hunter's surname was Wang. His family had made a living by hunting for generations. His house was at the foot of Mangshan Mountain at the end of the village.
