Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

60. Catching someone in the act of adultery

Cheng Xiao ran wildly out of Xiaoben Village and headed towards Daben Village, with more than ten people chasing after her.

Many people on the road, unaware of what was happening, involuntarily followed along, wanting to see what was going on.

Cheng Xiao ran all the way to Daben Village and to Qi Zhengyang's doorstep.

The gate was locked from the inside. Cheng Xiao saw a large rock at the gate, picked it up, and started smashing it against the gate.

The door was smashed open.

After kicking it twice more, the door was kicked open.

Cheng Xiao rushed into the yard, then rushed into the house.

The group that had been chasing them also rushed inside.

Inside the room, Qi Zhengyang and Du Mei were disheveled, clearly having just heard the noise and hastily putting on their clothes. Qi Zhengyang was wearing a vest and underwear, which were inside out, while Du Mei was wearing Qi Zhengyang's loose-fitting clothes and was putting on her pants.

Cheng Xiao had imagined this scene countless times in his mind, but when he saw it with his own eyes, the humiliation still rose up in his body like fire.

Cheng Xiao rushed up, grabbed Du Mei's hair, and slapped her five or six times.

Du Mei's face was covered in blood from the beating.

Then, Cheng Xiao abandoned Du Mei to fight Qi Zhengyang.

At this moment, Qi Zhengyang was completely dumbfounded.

In his past life, he had always maintained a careful and discreet relationship with Du Mei, keeping it a secret from everyone.

In this life, without Su Jinru standing in their way, and with the halo effect of his rebirth, he lost his vigilance.

When Cheng Xiao led a large group of people in, he knew something terrible had happened. He had only one thought in his mind: it's over, everything is over.

So sometimes, when Cheng Xiao's angry fists pounded on him, he didn't even have the courage to fight back.

Those who followed were also furious at the sight. These two seemingly respectable teachers, who were supposed to be role models for students, had actually done such a thing. They were shameless! They had always treated these two people with utmost respect, and they felt deceived. So they just watched helplessly as Cheng Xiao beat up the two scoundrels.

It wasn't until Qi Zhenglin and his wife heard the villagers' gossip and ran to his brother's house that they managed to pull Cheng Xiao away, who was exhausted from the beating.

Cheng Xiao plopped down on the ground and burst into tears like a woman.

The people watching were talking a lot.

"How shameless! Doing this kind of thing in broad daylight behind closed doors."

"A teacher, indeed! What kind of good students can a teacher like this produce?"

"No wonder he divorced Su Jinru! So that's how it is!"

"They neglect their own children, come here to steal food, and let their own children fall into the water and drown."

"Yes! How pitiful the child is to have such a shameless mother."

Du Mei's head was ringing from the blow, and her face was burning with pain.

The onlookers looked at her like she was a clown, their eyes filled with contempt.

Those extremely insulting words kept filling my ears.

She vaguely heard someone say that her three children had fallen into the water.

She calmed herself down.

Looking at the person who spoke, she gripped their arm tightly.

"What? What did you say? My three children have fallen into the water."

The other person pushed her hand away with disdain and frowned, saying, "Yes! Your three children fell into the water."

"What happened? How could the child have fallen into the water?"

"You still have the nerve to ask? Everyone in Xiaoben Village knows about your child falling into the water, except you. What kind of mother are you?"

Du Mei heard it clearly this time; her child had fallen into the water.

She grabbed the other person's hand again: "How could this happen? How is the child now? Is he alright?"

The other person pushed her away again, shoving her heavily to the ground.

“How could such a young child be alright? Your son is dead.”

"Xiao Bao... No way, how could this be? I don't believe it, you're lying to me, right?"

"Who's lying to you! Do you think you can just casually say something like that?"

"This kind of despicable person doesn't deserve to have children."

"Yes! It's a sin for the child to be born in her womb."

At this point, more and more people came to watch the spectacle.

"Tsk tsk tsk, at this time of year, everyone is so hungry they're dreaming about food, and these two still have the mind to do this kind of thing."

"Yes! I'm hungry and have no energy, I can't do anything."

The people around him burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think you can do anything else?"

"I am capable, but I need to conserve some energy to reduce hunger."

"Yeah! This job doesn't put food on the table, it just drains your energy and makes you hungry even faster."

"Maybe they have food, so they naturally have the energy to do this."

"Yes, yes, let's check if there's any food hidden at home."

As they talked, they searched everywhere.

They found more than ten kilograms of rice and five or six kilograms of sweet potatoes in the kitchen.

"There really is food. No wonder you have so much energy."

Let's see if there are any other places like this.

When they found the room, Qi Zhengyang clearly felt a little nervous.

He screamed hysterically.

"Get out of here! What right do you have to search my house?"

"It's because you're too full, too energetic, and don't do anything productive."

"There's definitely still food left, and it's very likely hidden in this room. Search carefully."

Everyone understood and began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

Qi Zhenglin and his wife became anxious and stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them. You've already beaten them, cursed them, and even found food in the kitchen. Please have mercy and stop here!"

Just then, someone went to move the cabinet, and Qi Zhengyang rushed over and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, there's nothing there."

Qi Zhengyang's actions seem suspiciously like he's trying to cover something up.

That person became even more insistent on flipping it.

During the scuffle between the two, the cabinet tipped over, revealing a cover underneath.

Someone curiously moved the cover.

"There's actually a cellar here."

"There's grain inside! Lots of grain!" someone shouted excitedly.

Qi Zhengyang collapsed to the ground.

More people gathered around.

Someone went into the cellar and took out all the grain inside.

Good heavens! There are over 500 kilograms of rice, and over 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

To people who had been starving for almost half a year, Qi Zhengyang's possession of so much food at home made him seem like a wealthy man.

Daben Township bought more than 5,000 jin of rice, but each production team only received more than 400 jin of grain, enough to feed more than 200 people in the entire production team for more than a month.

Qi Zhengyang alone had hidden more than 600 jin of grain.

Qi Zhengyang was a member of the Third Production Team. Since so much grain that was found hidden in his home, it was natural that it should be confiscated by the Third Production Team.

This was an unexpected surprise for the people of the third production team.

This means that the collective canteen of their third production team can stay open for more than a month, and all the people in the third production team can endure another month.
