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

In the novel, it seems that Mu Linjiang's family was criticized and struggled against in Shenzhou for nearly a month before being sent down to the countryside.

I wonder if it was because of her report or something else that caused them to be transferred to a lower-level position after only a few days?

Joanne knocked on the door.

"Come in."

When Tian Yongfu saw that it was Qiao An who entered, his face immediately broke into a smile, his facial muscles contorting together.

"Qiao An, what brings you to the brigade today?"

"Uncle Tian, ​​I want to find a place to get electricity and paper up the windows."

Tian Yongfu then remembered that the old house had been abandoned for several years, and was dilapidated and old, so it definitely needed to be tidied up.

"Okay, I'll find an electrician today, but connecting the electricity is quite a hassle."

"I'll pay you, is five yuan enough?"

Five dollars? Forget about wiring and window coverings, that's enough for a family's expenses for a week.

No wonder everyone says Qiao An is a spendthrift woman.

Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this.

"That's enough, that's enough. I'll get this sorted out for you this afternoon, and I guarantee your house will be lit up tonight."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Tian."

Just as Qiao An was about to leave, Tian Yongfu suddenly called out to her, "Qiao An, wait a minute."

"Didn't your biological parents send someone to pick you up from the village two months ago? I remember your biological parents live in Shenzhou, don't they?"

"I think his surname is Mu?"

Upon hearing Tian Yongfu's probing, Qiao An became even more certain that the Mu Linjiang family was the ones who would soon be coming to Lianchi Village for reform.

"Don't even mention it. Those aren't my biological parents. They just wanted me to be a scapegoat for their daughter. Luckily, I was quick-witted and ran back."

Qiao An didn't go into that much detail, nor did she bother to explain it to Tian Yongfu.

As long as he knows he's not Mu Linjiang's biological daughter, that's all that matters.

"Not their biological parents?" Tian Yongfu seemed a little incredulous.

"Of course not. Otherwise, think about it, why would I come back to live in such a wealthy family's house?"

Tian Yongfu thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Moreover, given the capabilities of the Shenzhou Youth Committee, they cannot allow Qiao An, the capitalist's biological daughter, to escape.

"Uncle Tian, ​​is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now," Qiao An asked.

"It's alright, it's alright, you can go back now. I'll have someone go over this afternoon."

After leaving the group, Qiao An went to take one last look at her private plot of land.

Her private plot was at the north end of the village, separated from the Huo family's land by two mounds.

The brigade allocated her six fen of land, which wasn't small.

But she can't cultivate six-tenths of the land by herself, so she has to think of a way. If that doesn't work, she can rent out the land.

The cabbages in the field are planted by the Huo family. When Qiao An saw the lush green leaves, she revealed a sly smile.

She rolled up her sleeves, and without saying a word, she went up and pulled up all the cabbages in the field and threw them out.

There were quite a few people on the ground who felt it was a pity to see her doing this, but no one came up to say anything.

Yesterday, she got to eat pork thanks to Qiao An and even rendered some lard. Now, no one dares to mess with her.

Just as Qiao An was enjoying herself, she suddenly heard a scream coming from afar.

"My goodness! What are you doing? This is a terrible thing! Why did you pull up those perfectly good cabbage seedlings?"

Qiao An didn't look up, but she could tell it was Shen Xiufang's mother, Deng Yufen's voice.

She didn't speak, but her hands kept moving.

Deng Yufen had four daughters, and from her youth to old age, she was always the object of ridicule in the village.

She couldn't hold her head high in her husband's family home.

She was only freed from her troubles when her parents-in-law and husband died.

He became known as the village loudspeaker for his unbridled nature, spending his days sitting against the wall with a bunch of old women.

It's either that the wife in this family got beaten up by her husband, or that the woman in that family had an affair.

Several years ago, a young woman from the village went to the clinic because she was bleeding from her genitals, and Deng Yufen happened to see her there.

She actually spread the word that she had gotten pregnant by a sent-down youth and had to have an abortion.

Finally, the young woman couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide by drowning.

Deng Yufen felt no remorse at all; on the contrary, she said that the girl was guilty of doing something wrong.

Joan had a very bad impression of her.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

"I thought it was someone's dog barking." Joan straightened up. "What did you just say?"

Deng Yufen's face immediately fell. She had heard about what had happened to the Huo family in the past two days from Shen Xiufang.

Shen Xiufang is her youngest daughter and the child she loves most. Yesterday, she was given three ounces of meat, but she couldn't bear to eat it herself. Today at noon, she specially invited Shen Xiufang to her home and made her meat noodle soup.

Only then did she realize that the money Qiao An's husband sent every month was given to the third branch of the Huo family.

With great difficulty, the two old men in the Huo family finally agreed that the money sent by Huo the second son would also be distributed to the eldest son's family. However, Qiao An caused a scene in the brigade.

The duck that was about to be eaten flew away, and Deng Yufen was furious when she heard this today.

The daughter was already feeling stifled in the Huo family because she couldn't give birth to a son, and now she has no money and is being laughed at by the villagers, making her even more pathetic.

That's why Deng Yufen got angry when she saw Qiao An pulling up cabbage seedlings.

These cabbages were planted by the Huo family; their daughter and granddaughter will eat them in the future.

"The cabbage is growing perfectly well; it'll be ready to eat in a few months. Why are you pulling it up when you're just bored?"

"It's my own land. I can pull up trees if I want, and plant crops if I want. What's it to you?" Joan retorted directly. "Even the police in the Pacific Ocean don't have as much say as you."

"Too...too foreign?" Deng Yufen was stunned for a moment.

"No matter what kind of foreign it is, you're just being nosy."

Joanne glanced at her, then lowered her head and continued pulling.

"You?? How can you talk to your elders like that? According to seniority, you should call me 'Auntie'."

"I don't have an aunt like you, don't try to force a relationship with me."

"Qiao An, I'm doing this for your own good. You're a woman raising two children on your own. If you don't have your husband's family to help you, you'll be bullied a lot in the village. This land is cultivated by my daughter and Huo Jifeng. Even if you separate your families, you have to wait until the cabbage is harvested before you take the land back."

Joan straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

People on the field stopped what they were doing and looked over.

"Were you raised on the Huo family's milk? Why are you taking their side like this? Then why didn't I see you share any pork with them yesterday?"

"You filthy bastard, watch your mouth!" Deng Yufen said angrily.

"My husband sends me 30 yuan a month, and I also have a job. Is it hard to support two children?"

"As for you, I heard that you've never even touched a penny since marrying into the Shen family. The last time you managed to get any money, your in-laws and husband were all dead. And speaking of which, have you ever even seen what a 30-yuan bill looks like?"

"Do you want me to take a look at it for you?"

The way people around Qiao An looked at her changed.

These words really hit Deng Yufen right where it hurts.

But it sounds exciting.

That old hag Deng Yufen has the most unpleasant way of speaking. She's always spreading rumors and has harmed countless people over the years.

Especially during the most turbulent years, she was the one who danced the most enthusiastically.

She led the beatings that killed several teachers who were criticized and denounced.

"You...you!! Just you wait! One day, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you, you little slut!"

"Hehe, I'm waiting. You better watch where you're going. Don't die before you even get your hands on me. At your age, how many days do you have left? If your family is really poor, I'll give you some money to prepare a coffin."
