Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

At Old Chen's house, Chen Dashan had already taken off his clothes and was getting ready to sleep when a heavy object fell from the wall with a loud "bang".

Qiao Manman did it on purpose; she deliberately told the Chen family that someone had come.

Sure enough, within two minutes, Old Man Chen, Old Woman Chen, Chen Dashan, and Chen Dashan's son Chen Zefeng all came out.

Grandma Chen looked at Qiao Manman in surprise, then a smile quickly spread across her face: "Oh my daughter, you've finally thought it through and want to marry someone from our mountain village?"

I knew it! My Chen family is a top-notch family; so many girls are waiting to marry into it. You, however, are just too headstrong!

Qiao Manman pulled a whip from her sleeve: "If you keep talking nonsense, I don't mind giving you a couple of lashes to wash your mouth!"

Old Mrs. Chen took two steps back in fright, muttering, "If you didn't have your eye on my Dashan, why would you climb over the wall in the middle of the night!"

Qiao Manman was too lazy to argue with her, and gestured for Chen Dashan to come over with her eyes: "Come here, I have something to ask you!"

Chen Dashan shrank back, indicating that he dared not.

The pain of being struck by lightning is etched into his memory, and he still can't sleep soundly to this day.

Qiao Manman took out a stack of notebooks and a few pencils from her pocket: "Chen Zefeng, come here, this is a gift from your sister Manman!"

Although Chen Zefeng had heard his grandmother complain about Qiao Manman, he also knew that his father's arrest was not Qiao Manman's fault at all.

His father wants to get married, so he should find a matchmaker to ask the other party's opinion and make sure that the other party is also willing.

How could you force someone to marry you with fanfare?

So he bravely stepped forward and apologized to Qiao Manman on behalf of his family.

"Sister Manman, my dad was also fooled by Sister Zhenzhen before. He's over forty years old and as naive as a fool. He didn't really want to ruin your reputation."

I apologize to you on his behalf and promise that nothing like this will ever happen again.

Qiao Manman smiled and handed him the gift: "The Chen family is truly a place where good bamboo shoots emerge from bad ones. Study hard, and you'll have a bright future!"

Chen Zefeng asked, "Sister Manman, you came here in secret because you wanted to ask about what happened before?"

Qiao Manman gave the other person a "smart" look and asked, "What did Qiao Zhenzhen say when she came over that day? Tell your father to repeat it honestly and in detail."

Also, do you know if she's seeing anyone else besides Chen Dashan?

The Chen family breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that Qiao Manman hadn't come to cause trouble.

The elderly couple gestured for Chen Dashan to come over and explain things, then went back to rest.

Thinking to myself, I really can't compare to young people. Qiao Manman works all day and is still full of energy. Is it because she eats rabbit meat to replenish her energy?

How about we let Dashan go up the mountain for a stroll tomorrow? If we could catch a rabbit or something to change things up, that would be wonderful!

When Chen Dashan saw his parents return to the house, and Qiao Manman was still holding the whip and waiting for him, he trembled.

He came over and recounted in detail how Qiao Zhenzhen had come to visit.

"I heard that she was afraid I wouldn't be able to succeed, so she also found Ge Rong, the bald-headed bastard from the Sunshine Brigade, and Li Tudou, the lame bastard from the Victory Brigade."

I'm considered to be in the best position among them, except I have less hair and a job.

Chen Dashan glanced at Qiao Manman with a wronged expression, as if accusing her of having no taste.

Qiao Manman tightened her grip and raised the whip, moving it slightly.

Chen Dashan stepped aside and lowered his eyes: "When they heard that you sent me to the police station, they didn't dare to cause you any trouble. They even laughed at me together."

Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "What are you laughing at? You have a son? Those bachelors have no shame."

I think Zefeng is a good candidate. Instead of fixating on a woman who isn't yours, you should focus on nurturing him.

"Study hard, kid. If you can join the army or get a job someday, you'll have something to be proud of."

Chen Dashan's expression softened somewhat, and he thought the suggestion was good.

Qiao Manman changed the subject: "However, they are also quite pitiful, as they are all quite old and still don't have wives."

My cousin is the same; she's full of bad intentions, I doubt anyone would want her. What a bunch of pathetic wretches!

Chen Dashan was completely confused, not understanding why Qiao Manman was telling him all this.

Chen Zefeng immediately understood and stepped forward to translate for him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dashan suddenly looked up, his gaze towards Qiao Manman filled with complex fear.

Qiao Manman smiled and took out five yuan from her pocket: "Zefeng, come here, take this to buy candy. If you have any news, come find me at the foot of the mountain!"

After saying that, he nimbly climbed over the wall and left.

Chen Zefeng stuffed the money into Chen Dashan's hand: "Dad, Sister Manman is bold and generous. You are not good enough for her."

Chen Dashan: "Do you think your father would dare to have designs on other people?"

He's not tired of living, yet he dares to provoke the other party!

Chen Zefeng patted Chen Dashan's arm: "Dad, you decide what to do. Sister Manman didn't say anything."

Chen Dashan stood silently in the night for a while before making a decision.

***

Qiao Manman returned home, fed the little hen and the big yellow dog, and then went back to her room to sleep.

Oh my, these days are so tiring! Helping this person fight that person, it's more exciting than a novel.

The system flattered, "Host, you're really amazing! If someone in the Qiao family gets pregnant, we can collect a few merit points. It's a way of making use of waste!"

Qiao Manman slumped on the kang and sighed, "It's a pity that points are so hard to come by, otherwise I would definitely interrogate Old Lady Qiao."

The system was puzzled: "Don't you still have 140 points?"

Qiao Manman shook her head: "We always need to keep something in case of emergency. There's no rush. Let me earn more points and merit points first."

After saying that, Qiao Manman fell asleep. She had no idea that in the middle of the night, the Qingshan Brigade was in an uproar.

The reason, of course, is that Old Qiao's house smells terrible.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, they still managed to wake me up with their stench, which shows how powerful the "poison gas bomb" was.

The neighbors, thinking someone had blown up the outhouse, got up to check and accidentally stumbled upon Old Qiao's white buttocks, screaming in fright, "Ah!"

The Qiao family tried to hide, but their legs were weak and they kept thumping, unable to move at all, and they were caught red-handed.

"Good heavens, what kind of fetish is this?"

Someone called for the brigade leader to come and uphold justice.

In the middle of the night, Wang Defa was dragged out of bed, and he was completely numb.

Upon arriving at the scene, before even speaking, I stepped on something soft.

Wang Defa's face turned green. He leaned against the wall and dry heaved, frantically rubbing his feet on the clods of dirt.

Only when he felt less nauseous did he sternly rebuke, "What are you doing?"

Of the Qiao family members, apart from Qiao Zhenzhen who was punished and didn't eat meat, everyone else was pale and spitting out food.

Faced with the captain's question, they covered their faces, so ashamed they wished they could disappear into the ground.

"Captain, you have to stand up for us! That little bitch Qiao Manman is trying to kill us!"

Wang Defa frowned: "You've all severed ties, is it appropriate for you to say that?"

Qiao Laosi clutched his stomach and complained, "It's all because of the rabbit meat she gave us! She definitely put croton seeds in it!"

Everyone: "......"

Look at what they're saying, is that even human language?

People clearly value family ties and even after severing ties, they still think about taking care of their elders.

How did it become so despicable in the mouths of the Qiao family?
