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

Wang Defa waved his hand: "This matter is not urgent, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The point is, you can do whatever you want in your own yard, but why go outside and pollute the eyes of the other villagers?

The Qiao family remained silent. Wang Defa frowned and pushed open the Qiao family's door. As a result, everyone who came to join the fun vomited.

Fine, fine, this family has completely lost all sense of shame.

Wang Defa gave in, rolling his eyes and saying, "Alright, alright, go back to sleep. There's nothing we can do standing here, don't let it affect tomorrow's wheat harvest!"

Then he kicked Qiao Laosi's white butt: "Clean it up after you're done, or I'll deduct your work points!"

Qiao Laosi was extremely aggrieved: "Captain, why don't you call the team doctor for us! If this keeps up, our family will have to poop our intestines out!"

Wang Defa had no choice but to call the team doctor, Su Zhiyuan, in the middle of the night: "Dr. Su, you need to be mentally prepared!"

Su Zhiyuan was completely baffled until he got close to Old Qiao's house, at which point his face turned green.

He immediately retorted, "Oh dear, Captain, you're making things difficult for me! You have dysentery and diarrhea, hurry up and get to the commune! What do I, a barefoot doctor, know?"

Wang Defa grabbed his arm, preventing him from leaving: "Who said that! Your family has a long history of medical knowledge. You can take a pulse and give acupuncture, and you even passed the county hospital's exam. This matter can't be left to anyone but you!"

"Hurry, hurry, or if he dies from diarrhea, neither of us will escape responsibility!"

Having no other choice, Su Zhiyuan had to grit his teeth and overcome numerous obstacles to treat the Qiao family members.

Seeing this was incredibly shocking. He felt like he couldn't eat for days.

What's even more alarming is that after this group of people had been defecating for one or two hours, apart from their legs being weak and their faces turning pale, their pulses showed no signs of weakness.

There were no symptoms of dehydration or shock.

It was completely outside his comprehension.

To maintain his public image, Su Zhiyuan went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of rice porridge for the group before going home.

Old Qiao's family, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, rushed to the kitchen with their legs weak.

They didn't know if it was just their imagination, but after drinking the rice porridge, they felt much better.

Just then, the second son's wife heard the old lady's cries for help. Her eyes flickered, but she chose to ignore them.

Qiao Laosi and his wife also heard it, but with so many places inside and outside the yard that needed cleaning, who had time to be her punching bag?

They were busy until dawn.

The Qiao family shoveled away their excrement and covered it with a thick layer of soil.

The area around the Qiao family's house finally didn't smell so bad anymore, and everyone could walk around without worrying about the stench.

Qiao Manman, after a good night's sleep, got up full of energy, washed her hair, face, and brushed her teeth.

Then she took out her cosmetics and put on a weak-looking makeup.

I ate some breakfast and went out to greet the first rays of sunlight. When I bumped into people on the way, I casually patted my belly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The embarrassing story of the Qiao family has spread throughout the entire Qingshan Brigade. Many people are curious about Qiao Manman and want to know if she deliberately sent the spoiled rabbit meat to her grandmother.

If that's true, then it's truly wicked.

As a result, others also fell victim to the virus.

Wang Defa was startled when he saw Qiao Manman's pale face: "Manman, what happened?"

Qiao Manman looked aggrieved, her voice choked with sobs: "Yesterday, Dahuang caught a rabbit, and I thought it was hot and the rabbit wouldn't last long, so I stewed it."

I don't know if the rabbit itself was sick or if Dahuang's saliva was poisonous, but I had diarrhea all night.

If it weren't for God's blessing, I definitely would have... sob sob...

Qiao Manman cried so hard that no one could bear to scold her.

They shook their heads and unanimously kept the matter of the Qiao family a secret. They were afraid that the young girl would feel guilty and cause an accident while swinging the sickle.

Qiao Manman's faint smile flashed by so quickly that it was impossible to catch.

To take care of her health, Wang Defa only allocated her one mu of land.

Qiao Manman remained strong and unyielding: "Uncle Captain is fine. I'll be alright after a while. I absolutely cannot hold our Qingshan Brigade back."

Moved by her strong and courageous attitude, everyone said, "No, no, no, your health is important. We'll take over Man's half-acre of land for her."

"Yes, one person with two sickles, it doesn't take much effort. Man'er, you should rest for a while!"

Qiao Manman thanked them gratefully, and with her "weak" body she cut two rows of soil before she "couldn't hold on any longer" and sat down on the ground.

Aunt Qiuhua rushed over to ask her, "Man'er, do you want to take a day off and go home to rest?"

Qiao Manman shook her head: "It's alright, Aunt Qiuhua, I just need to rest!"

Seeing that she was stubborn, Ma Qiuhua did not try to persuade her and went back to continue harvesting wheat.

He would glance over here every now and then, as if afraid that Qiao Manman would faint.

Qiao Manman sensed the other person's kindness and gave her a sweet smile every time she looked over.

He also took out a white paper notebook from his canvas bag and used a pencil to draw the harvest scene of Qingshan Brigade.

The first one is of Ma Qiuhua.

Qiao Manman's painting is so lifelike, it's just like a photograph.

Not long after, the scorekeeper came over and saw it, then jogged over to tell the team leader.

The captain was startled for a moment and ran over as well.

Seeing the painting in Qiao Manman's fingers, he rubbed his hands together and asked, "Manman, are you preparing to submit this?"

Qiao Manman nodded: "We have to finish this! After we've compiled the statistics, I'll submit it to the provincial newspaper and give the Party and the people a satisfactory report!"

The captain grunted in agreement and delegated authority to Qiao Manman, telling her to do whatever she wanted.

Qiao Manman painted for a while, then got up and continued harvesting wheat. After resting for so long, her makeup had faded, and she looked like she was slowly recovering.

By noon, it was even more lively and energetic.

I went home for dinner and made a special detour to Old Qiao's house for a quick look.

The stench was noticeable even from dozens of meters away, and the audio signal was amplified.

Hearing the Qiao family members lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) groaning, Qiao Manman was satisfied and ran home.

Today, the little hen laid a double-yolk egg as usual. After Qiao Manman finished eating the fragrant fried rice, she was just about to ladle some loofah soup to fill the gap when Qiao Laosi kicked the door open.

He was furious and wanted to settle scores with Qiao Manman.

Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "Oh ho, isn't this my fourth uncle from the Qiao family, who has severed ties with me and accomplished nothing!"

"What, your stomach's better now, and you're looking for a beating?"

Qiao Lao Si was so angry at Qiao Manman's provocative words that his head was buzzing, and he raised his hand to slap Qiao Manman.

Just as He Nian was about to stop him, Da Huang got up, barking and chasing Qiao Lao Si for most of Qingshan Brigade before raising its head and heading home to claim credit.

Qiao Manman regretfully withdrew her whip, feeling that Da Huang was really considerate, not letting her reveal her strength.

I went back to my room to sleep, and then went back to work in the afternoon.

***

Seven days later, Boss Qiao's verdict was delivered.

Given the severity of his theft of factory property, he was sentenced to ten years in prison.

Liu Wan and Zheng Yue were both sent to the Northwest for reform through labor due to their personal conduct issues and failure to report known information.

When Grandma Qiao found out, she cried out that Heaven was unjust and then fainted on the spot.

It was only then that the others learned of the hidden story behind the affair, and they all rushed to Old Qiao's house to spit on it.
