Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs

Chapter 193. Rat poop

"Have more soup." Lin Qing He poured what was left in the pot into Zhou Qing Bai's bowl and urged.

"Mother, what about me?" Da Wa said.

"You already had two bowls. You won't starve." Lin Qing He dismissed.

Er Wa and San Wa had an 'I'm used to this' expression.

Yes, even San Wa gotten used to it now. He was used to their mother's favoring their father.

Although Zhou Qing Bai's face showed no expression, he could be seen drinking the rest of the soup with relaxed eyebrows.

"Go and rest. Er Wa, it's your turn to wash the dishes today." Lin Qing He ordered her son.

Er Wa went to clean up the dishes and then wash them.

Since last year, he had started to share the dishes chores with his eldest brother.

San Wa will join the dishwashing army starting next year.

Lin Qing He left the outside to the boys, while she went back to the room with Zhou Qing Bai to rest.

It took this rain seven or eight days to finish. The roadside outside wasn't easy to travel on. Lin Qing He had officially started her lessons by then.

Coming back from school that day, Lin Qing He ran into Third Sister-in-law. On the way, she gave Third Sister-in-law a lift.

As soon as the two sisters-in-law entered the village, they noticed the atmosphere in the village was a bit solemn.

"What's going on?" Third Sister-in-law, who just came back from outside, whispered in confusion.

"I don't know. Anyway, it has nothing to do with our family." Lin Qing He didn't care.

It really had no connection to old Zhou family. It was old Ma Family's matter.

Last time, it was Fourth Ma. Old Ma Family was able to suppress both men as it happened within the family.

They were able to forcibly cleanse Wang Ling's name. Due to the rural's strong desire for a son, people just gossiped about Wang. They didn't go overboard.

But this time Wang Ling got into a tangle with a hooligan in the village named Zhou He and was encountered by someone.

It had happened in the small ruined house on the hillside behind the production team.

It was said that the scene between the two was quite intense.

What's more, the woman who saw it had a terrible relationship with Wang Ling.

This time, a hornet's nest was stabbed. She instantly called the leader to come over and caught them in the act.

Last time Wang Ling was able to dodge it. However, this time she can't avoid it. Also, old Ma family had no thoughts of protecting Wang Ling.

So, the city's red soldiers came in.

The existence of the Red Soldier was similar to the foreign invaders in the past. No one wanted to get in contact with them.

To lure them over for such a matter really life-threatening.

Wang Lin and Zhou He were tied up at once. Their heads were shaved to yin and yang heads and were dragged around the street with a board saying 'having an affair' hung on them.

This matter was told by Third Sister-in-law to Lin Qing He after some investigation.

"She hasn't changed her spots. Acting like no one can do anything to her." Lin Qing He spurned.

"She was actually able to dodge the incident from last time and still didn't learn her lesson. Fortunately, Second Sister-in-law broke off ties with her long ago." remarked Third Sister-in-law.

Lin Qing He said, "That hooligan fought with Third Ma before, right?"

"He did. That time, the two families nearly clashed head," replied Third-in-law.

Lin Qing He shook her head. Wang Ling will definitely be unable to stay in the village in the future. Third Ma wasn't one to tolerate. He was suppressed into defeat by his parents the last time it happened. He won't endure it this time round.

Wang Ling and Zhou He were released three days later. When they came back, everyone almost didn't recognize them.

Their whole bodies stank. They probably got thrown with feces. Their faces were full of red marks. Most likely, someone held a shoe and slapped them.

But was this the end?

Don't underestimate the harshness of this era toward people with bad conduct.

Less than five days after they were released, the two were pulled out to be paraded again.

It'll be like this from now on until a few years later. Zhou He was said to be beaten into an inhumane state.

Not surprisingly, Third Ma divorced Wang Ling straightaway.

After producing such a daughter, no one from old Wang family came to claim Wang Ling. Wang Ling's temperament was a little distorted. She just stayed in the village and didn't leave.

She simply occupied the small broken house on the back hillside.

It was very shabby, but still, it provided shelter.

Lin Qing He heard the gossip. It seemed that Wang Ling was still opening the door to do business there, but quietly. She would accompany anyone as long as they brought food.

"Really, there are really a lot of unscrupulous people in the village. They sneaked over after midnight," said Eldest Sister-in-law informed.

"Old He Family quarreled today. Apparently, Second He hid a little money and gave it to Wang Ling." Third Sister-in-law said with disgust.

"Shameless, really shameless!" Second Sister-in-law regretted to death after hearing this.

Why did she interact with people like this before? Now some people, who have a bad relationship with her, would still snub her when she went out: why didn't she wash clothes with Wang Ling?

Really lose face.

It can be said that Wang Ling broke the already broken jar. The whole village was repulsed by her and wanted her to go. But she refused to go.

She didn't enter the field anymore. She was able to fill her stomach by relying on some men who came over at night, so what need were there to enter the field?

It was just that every few days she would be dragged out to be criticized. When she recalled it, she was frightened. Those people were simply not humans. They would kick them directly in the stomach with one foot. No mercy at all.

This woman Wang Ling was completely rotten. This was the consensus in the village.

But it just happened that some married men liked the way Wang Ling was and stole some rice and money to send to her. Wasn't this contemptible?

A good few women in the village stood out and scold cause of this.

Lin Qing He ran into Wang Ling once, when she finished her class. She was completely different from before.

Not only were there new clothes to wear, but her diet also appeared to improve.

Wang Ling didn't seem to have any good thoughts of Lin Qing He at all. But it didn't count as hate. When it came to hatred, she hated He Family's daughter-in-law, who encountered the affair, the most.

Now she got criticized again. This was caused by old He Family's second daughter-in-law.

That's why Wang Ling hooked up with Second He. She intended to hook up with Eldest He and Third He, but those two were more decent and she couldn't tempt them.

Still, she pulled in Second He. He gave her quite a lot of money and things, which was a kind of like revenge against He Family's second daughter-in-law.

In the whole village, only Wang Ling was the odd one. And such a odd person made Zhoujia Village's reputation bad.

When people talk about it, they'll say Zhoujia Village had this kind of person.

Everyone said it was rat poop spoiling a pot of porridge. But what can be done? Out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Qing He didn't have much interest in these things. It drizzled a bit these days.

So she collected mushrooms from some young teens in the village.

After the rain stops, one can pick mushrooms and fungus, which can be dried in the sun and consumed slowly.

In just two days, Lin Qing He harvested seven or eight jins of mushrooms. Then she stopped taking them in. The well-preserved mushrooms were dried in a sieve. The crushed ones were fried with meat or made into mushroom soup. They were both very delicious.
