A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

"What are you talking about? How could we possibly kill you? That's too serious, you...you...you..."

"How am I seriously injured?" Qiao An pointed at the Huo family members. "They just hit me, and what were you doing, village secretary?"

"And you, the Huo family, are all maggots from a cesspool, birds of a feather flock together. Aren't you just trying to steal my husband's salary? You even dare to use this feudal and despicable practice of divorcing your wives? Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the town's Youth Committee!"

Although many policies are being relaxed now, the Youth Committee has a bad reputation.

The villagers still shudder at the mention of it.

"You all kept saying I killed the child, putting on such a heartbreaking act, but what happened? You didn't even lift the sheets to look inside. Who are you trying to fool with your act?"

Qiao An launched into a tirade of insults at the Huo family.

"If we die, Grandpa and Grandma won't feel bad." Huo Chen looked coldly at Liu Huying. "Once when my sister had a fever, Grandma said that it would be better if Aning died of illness, since she was just a money-losing thing anyway."

"During the time you were away from home, Grandpa always took me to play by the river, saying there were good things in the river and wanting me to go down and take a look. But I can't swim, so why should I go down and take a look?"

Huo Chen's voice wasn't loud, but he spoke very clearly, word by word.

Everyone in the brigade's courtyard heard it.

How could such a young child lie?

So the Huo family really wanted to kill these two kids.

Qiao An ruffled Huo Chen's hair.

Great! What a brilliant assist!

"No, no, we don't have any. This is a child of the Huo family, and a boy at that. How could this be?" Huo Shoutian panicked and quickly explained.

"Everyone knows your family favors the third wife. Now that you're struggling financially, you might have some dirty thoughts."

"Of course! Didn't a family in the neighboring Dongpo village sell their granddaughter to save on food rations?"

"If your family only has Huo Chen as a grandson, you'll definitely cherish him. But the third branch of the family has two grandsons, right? It's really hard to say."

Joan hugged her two children, secretly delighted.

did you see it?

That's how the villagers are; they'll help whoever makes the most sense.

"Alright, do whatever you want. Just don't let the Huo family get in my way anymore. I, Qiao An, will live like this. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on my child or my husband, I'll kill them."

"If you don't believe me, just try it."

After saying that, Joan gave instructions to the two children.

"A-Ning, Huo Chen, let's go home."

Joan put the rope from the plank over her shoulder and prepared to leave.

But everyone was staring intently at the wild boar.

The production brigade relied on work points to exchange for grain, and as for meat, they could only eat it once or twice a year.

The last time the brigade distributed meat was during the Chinese New Year.

Normally, no one would be willing to buy meat, but now, seeing this wild boar, their eyes are practically glowing green.

Qiao An didn't care; she was the one who hunted the wild boar.

Give it to whomever you want; let it rot at home, and nobody will care.

Seeing that Qiao An was about to lead the wild boar away, Tian Yongfu became anxious.

"Qiao An! Qiao An! Listen to Uncle Tian, ​​this was really our fault. Don't worry, Uncle Tian promises you today that no one in Lianchi Village will ever make things difficult for you again. You trust Uncle Tian, ​​okay?"

"This...this wild boar, even if we take it back, the three of you can't finish it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Joanne laughed instead.

"I just love watching wild boars rot, stink, and crawl with maggots. Money can't buy my pleasure, so what's it to you?"

"I was blind. I thought you helped me that day and wanted to take this opportunity to repay you and the brigade. Who would have thought that you would bite the hand that feeds you and not appreciate my kindness?"

Tian Yongfu's face turned pale and then red, and he didn't know what to say.

Although Joan's words were rough, he did indeed do something wrong.

A large, fat wild boar excited everyone.

For this piece of meat, everyone turned their anger towards the Huo family.

"Your Huo family is truly ruthless and filthy. Don't embarrass yourselves here."

"Is it easy for Joan to raise two children alone? Don't you in-laws have any conscience?"

"Look at Qiao An, he even knows to bring the wild boar he hunts in the mountains back to the brigade. Huo Shoutian, you caught three wild rabbits in the winter, and you secretly took them all home. A few years ago, you would have been paraded through the streets and criticized!"

"Qiao An, the uncles and elders saw it all today. Don't worry, we're all from the same village. If they try to bully you in the future, we'll be the first to stand up for you."

"right!"

"Exactly! They definitely won't agree."

Joan looked around at the people around her, a smile playing on her lips.

Now you're saying all this nice things, but when the Huo family wanted to beat her up, no one came to her aid.

Seeing the wild boar, he got hungry and started saying nice things.

Every single one of them is a snob.

But it doesn't matter. Qiao An has no worries about food or clothing. Why not use a wild boar to win people's hearts?

"Uncle Tian, ​​I'm letting this wild boar go today because of you and the villagers."

"Oh! Great! That's wonderful!"

"But..." Qiao An's tone changed abruptly, "The Huo family and the Zhao Dongsheng family aren't allowed a single piece of meat!"

"Otherwise, you'll have to spit out whatever you ate!"

Joan stood with her hands on her hips, looking like a domineering bandit leader.

Two children stood on either side of her, their expressions mirroring hers.

"Alright, Uncle Tian, ​​we'll do as you say." Tian Yongfu said with a hint of flattery.

"Alright, the three of us don't like wild boar meat because we think it's too gamey, so don't save any for us."

Qiao An waved her hand dismissively, "Huo Chen, Huo Ning, let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" Huo Shoutian stopped Qiao An.

"We had a misunderstanding just now, Dad apologizes."

After saying that, Huo Shoutian knelt down before Qiao An.

In rural areas, it's considered a serious matter for an elderly person to kneel before a young person, as this is believed to shorten their lifespan.

Qiao An glared at him coldly, wondering what kind of trouble this old man was up to now.

"You're a woman, you don't earn many work points at work, not even enough for a food ration coupon. You can't make a living even with the money your second son sends you."

These days, if you want to buy something, having money isn't enough; you also need cash.

Grain coupons, meat coupons, sugar coupons, cloth coupons... a wide variety of coupons.

"Okay, you can come home and live with us. I swear, we'll never mistreat you or the children, okay?"

"No," Joanne replied decisively.

Huo Shoutian's face fell. "I've already knelt down before you, what more do you want?"

"Did I tell you to kneel? Kneel if you want, kneeling a little more is good for your knees."

Qiao An didn't even bother to look at him properly. Trying to force her to give in with this tactic was really a mistake.

If it were any other younger generation, their father-in-law kneeling before them would be a source of endless gossip and condemnation.

But is Joan afraid?

Forget kneeling, even if he hanged himself in front of her, Qiao An would at most take pity on him and tighten the rope.

"Also, don't bring up work with me. I'm an employee at the town's police station canteen. I'm a person with a job too."

At this point, Qiao An took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Tian Yongfu.

"I almost forgot, Uncle Tian, ​​this is a work certificate issued by the police station. I won't be working here anymore if I'm not in this brigade area."

When Tian Yongfu opened it, he found that it really was a red stamp from the Jinshui Town Police Station.

Qiao An is quite something; she managed to find herself such a lucrative job without making a sound.

No wonder they look down on wild boar meat.

"Okay, I understand. Do your job well at the police station. If you're worried about the kids, they can come to my house for lunch."

As soon as Tian Yongfu opened his mouth, everyone started cursing him in their hearts.

That's really cunning.

Since Qiao An will be working in the police station's canteen, she'll definitely be able to bring home delicious food.

If the two children eat at Tian Yongfu's place, Qiao An has to give him either money or food.

He got all the benefits.
