Chen Miao frowned, "I got the money to build my house by killing a few kiddies. Now that there are no kiddies for me to kill, where can I get the money?"
Now it's only the villagers who take care of me that make my life easy, so where can I get the ten yuan?"
"Kill the little devil?"
"Yes, if I kill them, their money will be mine, right?"
The official felt a little aggrieved. He originally thought he would meet a rich person who came here to live, but he didn't expect that she was still poor. He didn't doubt that she was fake, mainly because of the pudding clothes she wore.
"Where are the guns you used to kill the little devils?" the policeman asked.
"What's the use? I don't want it, and I don't know how to drive it."
In the eyes of those who come here, this woman is a fool.
"How much money did you get from the imp?"
"How much?"
Seeing her frowning expression, these people were even more sure that she was a fool. In fact, which normal woman would have the guts to kill a little devil?
"Anyway, it's just a big handful. That kind man helped me build a house."
“Where are the good Samaritans?”
"I also went to kill the little devil and never came back."
It's getting late, and I don't want to do anything here. Although the harvest is all food, at least I didn't resist, and I can still do business when I go back.
"Village chief, please find a car and take it to the town."
Shen Wufu really had no choice. He asked two families to set up the car, and the big guys had to help load the car.
They were all filled with grievances and did not support the national army, but there was nothing they could do now. They entered the village and did not commit murder or arson.
The main reason is because I want to live a peaceful life and don't want to get into trouble.
Chen Miao frowned and walked back. She didn't know what to do now. She could be merciless to the little devils, but she really couldn't do anything to these people.
Their contribution to killing the little devils is not small. Now they are doing this because of the relationship with the above. They should deal with the above few.
Thinking of this, I thought of Feng Delun again. People like them will not be merciful when dealing with them.
They are all subordinates, and if they really harm the people, they will never let them go.
That mayor is pretty good. Let’s take a look. If it goes too far, he will definitely take action.
Just as they were lighting the fire, Shen Jianchun and his wife came over and tied them up.
"Sister-in-law, it's compulsory to have a backer. I haven't finished collecting it yet, and I'm almost shooting."
Chen Miao nodded, "You two are on duty during the shift, so you must pay more attention. I will go to the town tomorrow to take a look."
"Sister-in-law, let's go. Those people have already seen you today."
"Okay, go and have a look, don't be too persistent, don't take risks."
Chen Miao thought about going to town at night to see what was going on. She thought that the higher-ups were asking for too much money and there was nothing they could do. After all, they hadn't collected taxes for several years.
After they were tied up and left, only Shen Jianchun and his wife were left.
"My father has gone to deliver food, and I won't let your elder brother go."
"That's right, only the older ones go, the stronger ones should stay away."
"Then we can't always hide, right?"
"Then what's the law? Really join the national army?"
"That won't work. If you really join the national army, you will regret it in the future." Shen Jianchun said.
If it weren't for the worries of the elderly, I would really want to join the army.
"Just wait, my fifth uncle and the others will be fine."
"From Xiaofeng's family, I won't let Jiaojiao go to school tomorrow."
"Sister-in-law, please talk to Jiaojiao and hear about the current situation of the school."
"Jiaojiao said it's still the same as before, I'm scared."
"Ask Jiaojiao what you mean."
"I'll see you later."
"Okay, come to my house for dinner." Relieve Zhao Xiaoyun's nervousness.
"If you don't come to eat, you can eat by yourself."
In the evening, I used gnocchi in bone soup, which tasted quite good.
Use bone broth every day and you should not be deficient in calcium.
Sitting on the kang, peeling chestnut kernels and waiting for Jiaojiao and his wife.
It was past eight o'clock and he still didn't come. What's going on? I couldn't sit still, so I put on my coat and went to Shen Wufu's house.
"Fifth Aunt, where are my sister-in-law and Jiaojiao?"
"Jiaojiao didn't come back, so your eldest brother and the others went to look for her."
Xiuyue is also really anxious. Why are you coming back late today?
"Fifth Aunt, how long have they been gone?"
"Two quarters of an hour."
"Well, I'll go find them."
After going to my parents' house, it would be more convenient to catch a car.
As soon as they left the village, they saw the carriage delivering food coming back, and the three of them were on the carriage.
Only then did he feel relieved. Zhao Xiaoyun didn't take it seriously when he said he wouldn't go to school the next day, and thought it was fine. Now he felt that it would be the same if he didn't go to school and read at home, at least it was safe.
"I'm from Xiaofeng's house. I'll go to your house later."
The old couple of the Chen family were relieved to know that Jiaojiao was fine. After the third daughter left, "It's a good thing that the fourth girl went to the army, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry too much."
Chen Dongsheng sighed, there was no time to calm down these days.
After Chen Miao returned home, she continued to peel chestnut kernels. There were already quite a few, and she would have time to grind them into chestnut flour tomorrow.
It was almost nine o'clock, and all six members of the Shen family came over together.
Shen Wufu talked about things in the town. "When our grain was delivered, the villagers were also unloading grain. Several other villages arrived one after another."
"Are you not in trouble?"
"No. Let us come back after unloading the truck.
I heard people collecting grain say that it was the county seat that allowed them to collect grain, saying that there was not enough supplies."
"It's normal. Doesn't fighting just involve manpower and material resources?
Let’s just wait and see.”
"I wanted to take action now, but I held back later. It wouldn't work. It would be bad if I cause trouble for the big guys."
"Well, let's see what happens later. Mayor Tang of ours is pretty good.
Tell the second strongman that they should not go to the town, there is chaos there right now, and they are afraid of trouble."
Shen Wufu nodded, "I told them not to go. They should all stay at home."
Chen Miao nodded and looked at Jiaojiao, "What's going on with you today?"
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I met Grandpa and the others when I came back, so I took a carriage back to town." After Jiaojiao finished speaking, she twitched her lips in embarrassment, which made her family members worried.
"You are wrong. You must go home after school. Tell your family where you want to go, otherwise you will have to worry."
"Auntie, I know I was wrong. This will never happen again. Please advise my mother, she won't let me go to school."
"Jiaojiao, actually I don't think you should go to school. Winter is short and the nights are long. It's dark when you go to and from school. I don't accompany you. It's not peaceful now. If something happens, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Auntie, there's no danger. I'm used to going to and from school alone all day long. Mom is really fine, you believe me."
Zhao Xiaoyun shook his head firmly, "No, I can't go to school anymore. You can wait until there is no more war. You can go. I have raised such a big daughter and nothing will happen to her."
