Chapter 41

Jiang Yan was a little worried.

Without a cold storage or freezer, and not enough salt, how can we store so much fresh fish?

well!

Originally, she just wanted to try the effect of fish bait, but who knew that just two handfuls of bait would attract such a large school of fish.

Thinking that there were still more than two kilograms of salt at home, she looked at He Hongxiu and said, “Sister-in-law, the salt in my house can pickle 20 to 30 kilograms of fish, but not more. Besides, Yunsheng is not at home, so I can’t finish all this. You can share the rest.”

Yuan Sufeng also shook her head. “I don’t need that much either. I’ll just need about 20 to 30 kilograms like Jiang Meizi.”

“Then I want 30 kilograms too. We don’t have that much salt at home.” Feng Yingchun wanted to ask for more, but thinking that salt was quite expensive, he decided to save some.

He Hongxiu also began to worry, “Everyone is in the same situation, how can we eat so many fish.”

Seeing that Jiang Yan and the others were worried about the large amount of fish, a boy of about 11 or 12 years old came over with a gleam in his eyes, “Give us the leftovers if you can’t finish them. We only have so little, but you have so much.”

Jiang Yan turned her head and looked.

The boy was clearly holding such a big bucket of fish in his hands, but his eyes were still staring at them, which was inexplicably unpleasant. He was so greedy that he wanted to swallow an elephant.

Jiang Yan was about to refuse when an older woman who was obviously married came over from behind the boy and said, “Zhou Yaozu, it will take you a long time to finish the bucket of fish in your hand. Aren’t you afraid of bursting your stomach?”

The boy’s face darkened. “What does it have to do with you? The military wife wanted to give it to me out of kindness. Does it bother you?”

Then, Jiang Yan’s calm voice came, “I’m sorry, I don’t have that much kindness, these fish have to be left for the military district taxi soldiers.

I just saw that most of the fish in this bucket were stolen by you from others. You should return them to them, right? ”

When they heard someone calling for justice, the children, both young and old, who had their fish stolen and had dared not say anything, immediately stood up.

“He robbed me of two fish.”

“He also stole a fish from me. It was the colorful one. I was the only one who caught that beautiful fish.”

“He had previously snatched a large crab from Nan Nan, and said that if she didn’t give it back, he would beat her up when she had no one else to eat, and he would join others in bullying her.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan frowned, not knowing if she was too sensitive. She looked at the child and asked, “How do you bully me?”

The child was only six or seven years old, but he looked better than the others, so his family conditions should not be bad.

The children didn’t understand either. “They just pressed Nan Nan down and slept with her. They also slept with Huang Zhaodi before, but Huang Zhaodi died last year.”

The other children also nodded, proving that this was indeed the case.

Jiang Yan’s brain exploded when she heard this. It was true that poor and remote areas produced unruly people.

At this moment, Jiang Yan felt that she had to do something.

The matter has been exposed. If she lets it go, the boy will definitely bully the little girl to vent his anger in the future.

She took two steps forward and slapped Zhou Yaozu in the face.

Zhou Yaozu was confused.

No one had ever dared to hit him since he was a child. After he realized what was happening, he also punched Jiang Yan.

But Jiang Yan was not stupid. After beating the man, she quickly took a few steps back.

When Zhou Yaozu swung his fist, she kicked out again without holding back any strength.

Of course, she didn’t have much strength in her small body.

Zhou Yaozu staggered back a few steps, fell on his butt, and felt a pain in his stomach.

Jiang Yan looked at Zhou Yaozu indifferently and said in a cold voice: “Do you know why I hit you?”

Of course Zhou Yaozu knew it, but he just looked at Jiang Yan hatefully.

Jiang Yan was not someone who could be frightened, and she didn’t care at all about the hateful gaze from Zhou Yaozu, a little brat.

She looked at the crowd, and her cold voice became gentle again, “Who is Nan Nan?”

After waiting for a while, a little girl walked out timidly from the crowd. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan said gently: “Don’t be afraid, raise your head.”

The little girl raised her head and revealed a cute little face. Jiang Yan was a little surprised. This little girl was so cute. She shouldn’t be in a village like this.

Just like the original owner, who became a bargaining chip for the Jiang family because of his face.

Jiang Yan squatted down, took the little girl’s arm, and whispered, “Don’t be afraid, Auntie wants to ask you something, has he ever bullied you before?”

The little girl shook her head and said, “Sister Minshu helped me fight him off.”

Seeing the little girl shaking her head firmly without dodging her gaze, Jiang Yan felt relieved. Fortunately, the little girl was not hurt.

Before Jiang Yan could stand up, Zhou Yaozu’s angry voice came from behind.

“You actually hit me for a cheap girl. Do you know that she is the child of a bad guy? You actually want to help the bad guy. You are also a bad guy.”

“You are also a mean boy who only knows how to bully the weak.” Jiang Yan stood up, looked at Zhou Yaozu and said seriously: “You stole my fish and slandered me as a military wife. I have to talk to your village party secretary. The honor of military families must not be desecrated.”

When they heard that they were going to find the village party secretary, Zhou Yaozu and other people in the village panicked.

In the eyes of the villagers, the village party secretary is the sky above their heads, the most powerful person in the village, and the person who can decide their destiny.

Jiang Yan saw everyone’s hesitation, but she would not sympathize with Zhou Yaozu.

She looked at the other people in the village and smiled, “It has nothing to do with you. This is a matter between Zhou Yaozu and me. It’s mainly because he insulted the military family. This matter needs to be resolved.”

The others felt much more relieved.

Some children who were not afraid of Zhou Yaozu said, “Auntie, please ask the secretary to teach him a lesson. He is a bad guy. He often steals our things and beats up children younger than him in the village.”

Jiang Yan asked: “Which village are you from?”

The woman who had been arguing with Zhou Yaozu before came over and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, we are from Nanqiao Village, the third squad of the fifth brigade of Shanglin Commune.”

“Nanqiao Village! What a fate! I just met your village chief yesterday. His name is Zhang Ruidong, right?”

The woman nodded. She could accurately call out the branch secretary’s name, which seemed to indicate that this military wife really knew him.

Zhou Yaozu was terrified.

I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. He even has to meet the branch secretary. His father will break his legs!

Jiang Yan turned to look at He Hongxiu and said embarrassedly, “Sorry, sister-in-law, you have to find a way to get this fish back. I have to go to Nanqiao Village.”

He Hongxiu is also a kind-hearted person. She was very angry when she found out that this boy was so bad.

“I’ll go with you. The matter of insulting military families is not over yet.” She turned to look at Yuan Sufeng and instructed: “Sufeng, go and ask the people from the military district to come and pull the fish. Yingchun stays here. I’ll go with Sister Jiang. There is still justice in this world.”

Yuan Sufeng patted her chest and promised, “Sister-in-law, you guys go ahead and I promise to complete the task.”

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.”

After telling his son to follow Aunt Sufeng, Feng Yingchun ran towards the military region.

Jiang Yan looked at Zhou Yaozu and said, “Return all the fish you stole to me, or I will beat you up.”

Zhou Yaozu was already scared, and hurriedly returned other people’s things, then walked up to Jiang Yan and begged, “I’ve already returned them, can you please not see the secretary? I won’t bully them anymore.”

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yan asked Zhou Yaozu to take the other children aside one by one, and asked about the bad things Zhou Yaozu had done and also asked about the situation in the village.

Zhou Yaozu dared to do these things because he was definitely led by someone older or he followed suit.

These people are not as easy to deal with as children. If you expose them rashly without evidence, you will end up in trouble.

Understand the situation first.

Seeing other people being called aside for questioning one by one, each of them looking excited and gesticulating, Zhou Yaozu became more and more nervous and felt a growing sense of oppression.

He didn’t know what the others said, nor did he know what the military wife knew. When he thought about the branch secretary getting angry and his father beating him with a rolling pin as thick as his arm, he felt his scalp tingling and the sky was falling.

He is dead.

Zhou Yaozu was so frightened that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Seeing him trembling like a sieve, Jiang Yan shook her head in her heart. This was also a way of bullying the good and fearing the evil.

Taking Zhou Yaozu aside, Jiang Yan said in a serious voice, “Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict. Tell me honestly, which girls in the village have you bullied? Besides you, who else has bullied them?”

At this time, Zhou Yaozu had been frightened to the point of having a mental breakdown, and he would tell everything if Jiang Yan pressed him lightly.

“I have snatched Zhou Jinbao’s steamed buns, Li Ergou’s biscuits, Zhang Dazhu’s candy, and Zhou Xiaofan’s pig grass. I have also stolen eggs from Wang Jinhua’s house…”

This kid is so bad!

The most precious thing these days is food. Jiang Yan felt that he must have underestimated the situation, but she also saw the big picture.

She asked coldly, “What’s going on with Huang Zhaodi?”

“This has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me. It wasn’t me who slept with Huang Zhaodi. It was Huang Haizhu and his father. I just saw Huang Haizhu take off his pants and sleep with Huang Zhaodi. He said it was very comfortable, but I didn’t like it so I left.”

Jiang Yan was almost furious and kicked Zhou Yaozu on the leg. Zhou Yaozu was young, but if he was older, he would also be a rapist.

Zhou Yaozu cried out in pain, but he didn’t dare to hide and had to endure it.

After calming herself down, Jiang Yan continued to ask, “What is the relationship between Huang Zhaodi and Huang Haizhu?”

“Brother and sister. Huang Haizhu is Huang Zhaodi’s biological brother. There are four people in their family: Huang Haizhu’s grandfather, Huang Haizhu’s father, Huang Haizhu and his sister Huang Zhaodi. Huang Zhaodi fell into the reservoir and died last year. There are only three people left in their family.”

At this point, Zhou Yaozu said mysteriously: “I heard from Huang Haizhu that his sister also slept with his grandfather and several old bachelors in the village.”

“Shut up.”

Jiang Yan was already feeling sick and just wanted to kill that beast. She suspected that Huang Zhaodi’s death was not simple.

Zhou Yaozu quickly shut up, looked at Jiang Yan and whispered, “Can you not look for the secretary? I won’t steal their things or scare them anymore.”

Seeing him like that, Jiang Yan kicked him again, her angry voice chilling people’s hearts, “It’s better if what you say is true, otherwise I won’t forgive you.”

Zhou Yaozu quickly raised three fingers and swore to the sky, “Aunt, if I tell a lie, the sky will strike me with five thunderbolts, and my whole family will die miserably.”
