Chapter 49

Shen Qingli returned to the courtyard, poured the herbs into a winnowing basket, took out the roe deer from the space, and placed it in a large basin.

Everything was ready, I washed my hands, and pushed my bike out.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw Widow Zhou coming towards me aggressively.

Widow Zhou saw Shen Qingli and immediately rushed towards her, “Shen Qingli!”

Shen Qingli frowned, stood there, and looked at her indifferently, as if she was looking at an insignificant person, “What’s the matter?”

Xiao Hei bared his teeth and stared at Widow Zhou fiercely, growling warningly, as if to say: Come here and try to see if my teeth are very sharp!

Widow Zhou turned pale, and her legs seemed to be rooted to the roots. She didn’t dare to move at that moment. “You, you tie up this dog! If you let it run free like this, it might bite someone. It’s very dangerous.”

“Xiao Hei never attacks anyone without reason. It only bites those who have bad intentions towards our family.” Shen Qingli looked at Widow Zhou with contempt.

She really didn’t understand. They had clearly severed their relationship and separated the clan, so how could Widow Zhou still have the nerve to act like an elder in front of her?

“You, Shen Qingli, I am your mother-in-law after all. You talk to me like this, no wonder you have no father or mother, you deserve to be a jinx and a short-lived ghost.” Widow Zhou cursed viciously.

She just stood there without moving. She felt that as long as her body didn’t touch Shen Qingli, the dog would not attack her.

Just as Widow Zhou was about to continue cursing, Shen Qingli rushed up to her, raised her hand and slapped her twice directly on the face.

Widow Zhou was stunned!

She never dreamed that Shen Qingli, who was almost beaten to death by her last time, would dare to attack her!

“You, you!”

“What about me? Widow Zhou, what’s so great about you being a widow? If we talk about unlucky people, who can compare to you? Your husband is dead, and you have severed ties with your son.”

“Zhou Yubai and I live a clean life, and we both work hard for our family wholeheartedly.”

“What about you? You’re still hiding in the back hills with that scoundrel man. Do you think no one knows? If this matter gets to the captain and the Zhou family, will you be thrown into a pig cage?”

Shen Qingli spoke in a low voice, and even her expression didn’t change, but she made Widow Zhou’s blood run cold from head to toe.

“You, you are talking nonsense…”

“Widow Zhou, you know whether I am talking nonsense or not. When you can’t hide your belly anymore, I’ll see how you can argue.” Shen Qingli’s eyes fell on Widow Zhou’s slightly bulging belly.

Widow Zhou felt as if she was being stared at by a cold poisonous snake!

She regretted coming to trouble Shen Qingli. She just wanted a bicycle, but she didn’t want to be exposed by Shen Qingli…

“I, I, don’t accuse me. I don’t want to talk to you, little… girl. I’m too lazy to bother with you.” After saying this, Widow Zhou was about to turn around and leave.

“Widow Zhou, since we live in the same village, I have to remind you that if you want to take medicine to get rid of the child at your age, it could be fatal.” Shen Qingli’s voice echoed in Widow Zhou’s ears.

Widow Zhou was so frightened that she staggered and ran away. No one knew how far she ran. She fell to the ground, sweating profusely.

Widow Zhou only confirmed in recent days that she was pregnant. What made things even worse was that her lover, Boss He, was nowhere to be found. She went to his house several times, but no one was there.

Boss He originally lived alone, and no one knew when he disappeared. People in the village gradually began to spread the rumor that Boss He had eloped with someone.

Widow Zhou was panicking. Others didn’t know, but she knew that Boss He was planning to get Shen Qingli on the day Zhou Yubai went to the brick factory…

After that day, she never saw him again.

Could it be that Shen Qingli killed Boss He?

It’s impossible. Even if Shen Qingli is in better health than before, she can’t beat Boss He.

Is it Zhou Yubai?

Or Gu Qichuan?

The more Widow Zhou thought about it, the more panicked she became. If they could kill Boss He quietly, then they might be planning to kill her too.

She is pregnant now and cannot keep the child.

She is a widow, how can she have a child?

But, Shen Qingli’s reminder was actually a warning. If I do anything to the child, would Shen Qingli and the others take the opportunity to kill me?

Widow Zhou shuddered and said, of course she would!

What to do? Widow Zhou covered her face with her hands, not knowing who to turn to for advice…

At this time, Zhou Yubai was working.

He always worked quickly and well. He was anxious to go home to be with his wife, so he would just keep his head down and work without saying a word once he started working.

A figure quietly approached Zhou Yubai.

The moment the figure pounced towards him, Zhou Yubai dodged it and jumped out four or five meters with swift movements.

“Ouch! Brother Zhou!” Song Xiaocao screamed. She missed her target and fell to the ground, crushing many seedlings.

Zhou Yubai’s face turned cold. “Second team leader, come and see, this guy is disrupting production.”

The Kaoshantun Production Team was divided into four teams, and Zhou Yubai was in the second team.

Team leader Li Jie ran over immediately after hearing the noise. Seeing Song Xiaocao lying on the ground, he stamped his feet in distress, “Who is this? Who told you to mess around here?”

“Erdan, go call the militia over and arrest this female comrade who is disrupting production. Send her to where she should be!” Li Jie said loudly.

Song Xiaocao hurriedly climbed up from the ground using both hands and feet. “I, the team leader is me, Song Xiaocao. I’m here to help with the work. I didn’t mean to do it. I’ll pay for it. Isn’t it okay for me to pay for it? Don’t let the militia arrest me.”

Song Xiaocao burst into tears and snot in an instant.

A beautiful woman shedding tears would arouse everyone’s pity, but Song Xiaocao was ugly, and her crying made everyone feel sick.

“Shut up, why are you crying? You have ruined good crops and you still have the nerve to cry. Which village are you from? I see you have been hanging around in our village for several days. Where is your letter of introduction?” Li Jie asked.

Song Xiaocao’s face turned pale. How could she have a letter of introduction? It said that she was going to her aunt’s house to change clothes and came to Kaoshantun.

“I, I, am here to visit relatives. I’ll be leaving now.” Song Xiaocao said hurriedly.

“Hmph, you’ll have to pay for my crops and leave immediately.” Li Jie looked at Song Xiaocao coldly.

He knew that Song Xiaocao had been staring at Zhou Yubai.

He and Zhou Yubai didn’t have a close relationship, but Zhou Yubai once saved his father-in-law in the mountains. However, no one in the village knew about it, so Zhou Yubai didn’t tell anyone.

His father-in-law was a smart man and said that it was better for Zhou Yubai if no one knew.

Therefore, only Li Jie’s family knew about this matter. He had finally been able to help Zhou Yubai solve the trouble, so he naturally would not stand idly by.

Song Xiaocao didn’t have a penny on her, and she didn’t know where Widow Zhou had gone, and she couldn’t be found. In the end, Song Xiaocao had to write an IOU, and Li Jie asked the militia captain to send the people back.

He also specifically instructed the militia captain to tell the captain of Song Xiaocao’s village to keep a close eye on the people in their village and not to go out and disrupt the production of other villages…
