Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Chapter 29 He left without a sound

They left quietly, and it wasn't until the third day, when the village had completely caught all the fish from the mountain and it was time to distribute them, that everyone remembered Xia Jixuan, the great contributor.

"Xia Jixuan, Ji Xuan's wife, where is your husband?" The captain asked Liu Fangmei with a frown.

"Captain, my husband has already returned to the unit. My husband's time is limited; it will take him two more days to get back to the unit from here. He left early the morning before yesterday, around 4 a.m.," Liu Fangmei said, her words so credible that Xia Yutang and his two siblings would have believed her if they hadn't known when their father had left.

"That's how it is. The distribution is five strips per family. After the last distribution, the remaining strips will be given to the poor families in the village. This place was discovered by Xia Jixuan, so the leaders of our village held a meeting and unanimously decided to give Comrade Liu Fangmei 220 centimeters..." The brigade leader stood on the stone and spoke fluently. Upon hearing that it was 220 centimeters, no one else had any objections, except for a few from the Xia family who were grumbling below.

The brigade leader roared, "Uncle Xia, you still need to keep your family's mouth shut. Ji Xuan has already separated from your family. What he found has nothing to do with you. The village will distribute what it's due to you, and we won't withhold anything. If you want more, sorry, we don't have any. The work points were unanimously decided to be recorded for Comrade Liu Fangmei; they belong to her family."

The team leader didn't like Old Man Xia very much; he was arrogant because he used to be the village chief.

Old Man Xia's face turned pale and then flushed when he was directly called out. He really didn't expect the brigade leader to be so disrespectful to him, criticizing him in front of the whole village.

The Xia family members, especially Old Mrs. Xia, trembled with fear upon seeing Old Mr. Xia's expression. After all, the old man wouldn't cause his son too much trouble, but his daughter-in-law would.

Judging from the look on his face, she knew she wouldn't have a good time when she got home today. Old Mrs. Xia glared fiercely at her two daughters-in-law, who were still pacing back, and slapped them both hard across the face.

"Shut up, you spendthrift woman. You've brought shame upon the whole village..." Hearing her cursing, the people around her stepped back; they didn't want to get involved with this unreasonable person.

With over 100 households in the village and about 10 people helping, the fish were quickly distributed. Liu Fangmei, carrying her own basin and her youngest son, strolled home.

She didn't give him a single thing, and the old woman behind him had red eyes from hatred. She gave him a single glance. Although they hadn't completely severed ties, it was practically over.

As long as they deliver their pension money and grain on time, no one else will say anything. Neither of them is 60 yet. Old Man Xia stopped working when the work-point system was implemented. By harvest time, he'd be in pain here and there, unable to work in the fields. Eventually, the village chief and the brigade leader stopped trying to persuade him.

Xia Yutang fared worse; she was still ordered to stay home. Her dizziness had subsided, but the bandage on her head remained. Her mother had said the Song family was currently looking for something they'd done wrong. It was better not to go out; it was better if they saw her.

When people are in a frenzy, there's no guarantee they won't do something rash. She can't be with her daughter all the time, and her daughter is still so young. She's genuinely worried that she might accidentally run into their family again.

When the man left with the quilt, he didn't say he wanted to come with him. There are still many things to do here. The police station said they would go, but they haven't yet. I don't know if that bastard Song Dazhi has been sentenced.

There was still one more pane of glass on the wall that hadn't been fixed. Liu Fangmei, carrying the fish home, looked at the clean and tidy yard and house, and her frustration finally dissipated a little.

This man is quite unreliable; she still has to do things herself.

"Stone, Little Fish, Mom is going to the county town. I'll take my little sister with me. You two help me clean the black membrane inside the fish's belly, wash it clean, and put it in the kitchen to dry. Make sure to keep an eye on it after you come out of the kitchen door, so that no stray cats can snatch it." He was still worried about leaving his little daughter at home with his two 10-year-old children, so he had to take her with him.

"We understand, Mother." The two brothers planned to go up the mountain to collect firewood after finishing their work. They had only moved here a few days ago. They had burned a lot of firewood to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed). In the past few days, they had been busy going up the mountain to get food and hadn't had time to collect firewood, so they didn't have much firewood left at home.

"There's a lock on the kang cabinet in the Tang house. Lock it if you two need to go out. There's food in the big pot in the kitchen. Don't talk to the Xia family..." Liu Fangmei has too many worries. Taking care of the child alone for a long time has made her develop this nagging habit.

"Okay, Mom, please be careful." After watching their mother walk away, the two brothers quickly closed the door and went to work in the kitchen.

Don't talk to them anymore. There's a well behind here. If they draw water, they should put the well cover back on after they're done. The two brothers know that the village is very short of water right now, and even the oldest well under the big banyan tree isn't producing much water anymore.

"Big brother, you hold the fish first, I'll go get the bucket of water." The second brother, who was more clear-headed, closed the door and started directing his older brother to do the work.

Over there, Liu Fangmei carried her youngest daughter in a basket on her back, talking to her as she went. The fish had just been divided, and everyone was busy preparing them at home; there weren't many people on the road.

"Mom, where are we going?" Xia Yutang, who had just come to her senses, leaned on her mother's shoulder and looked around. As she spoke, she passed by the spot where she had hit her head earlier.

Seeing Song Fubao standing there again, staring at the mother and daughter with a resentful look, Xia Yutang was speechless.

This guy is really persistent. How did he know they came out? He was standing there looking at her like she was looking at a heartless man. It made her feel disgusted.

"Tangtang, let's go to the town's police station. Your dad originally wanted to go there before going back to confirm Song Dazhi's crimes. But things happened so suddenly, so only the two of us can go now. Don't worry, Mom will definitely get justice for you." Liu Fangmei was absolutely determined not to let that bastard Song Dazhi get away with it.

While Liu Fangmei was still rambling on, two bicycles came towards her. When Liu Fangmei saw that they were wearing uniforms, she thought of going up to stop them.

Recently, the only thing that has gotten people in uniform to come to the village is her daughter's case. I wonder if these two comrades came to tell him the final outcome for Song Dazhi.

The two comrades on bicycles saw Liu Fangmei and quickly stopped. They recognized her; she was one of the people they had come to find.
