The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Xia Dongliang transferred a group of people from the production team, and it took them three days to plant 80 acres of corn fields. Meng Zihao gave instructions on the frequency of irrigation and then returned with the two students.

On the other hand, several educated youth and a dozen young people from the village followed Zhao Zheng and Cheng Tingzhuang to the mountain to learn grafting techniques.

After seeing Meng Zihao off, Zhu Xiaomin and He Lanfang also began to inspect the brigades. The tractors in the brigades were busy with spring plowing, so the commune allocated a tractor to her.

The Seventh and Eighth Brigades made the fastest progress in infrastructure construction, followed by the Fourth and Fifth Brigades, then the Ninth and Tenth Brigades, and then the Second and Third Brigades.

During this period, the person who followed her to the team was Xiao Zhang, a clerk of the commune, but when she heard that they were going to the third team today, Jiang Jiancheng also followed.

When Zhu Xiaomin saw him coming, she just smiled and got into the car with He Lanfang, Bai Guihua and Langya.

When Zhu Xiaomin returned to the city last year, Jiang Jiancheng met Bai Guihua. Seeing that she was just a beautiful young woman, he did not pay much attention to her, but instead looked at Langya a few more times.

The young man looked honest and loyal, and apart from his good looks, there was nothing else that stood out. It was only April, and he was only wearing a short-sleeved buttoned jacket with a wolf's tooth hanging on the thin linen rope around his neck. His solid chest muscles were faintly visible, making him look very eye-catching.

The Second Brigade was not far away, and it only took about ten minutes for the tractor to drive there. After looking at the infrastructure situation of the Second Brigade, He Lanfang made a record, and several people got in the car and drove straight to the Third Brigade.

The terrain where the Third Brigade is located is relatively flat, so the village is built on both sides of the road.

If most people had known that Zhu Xiaomin was coming today, they would have been paying attention. As soon as the tractor arrived, many people came out of the fields carrying hoes and silently stared at the tractor.

He Lanfang's face turned pale, and she held Zhu Xiaomin tightly with one hand.

Zhu Xiaomin shook her hand with her backhand and got out of the car with Jiang Jiancheng as if nothing had happened.

Captain Niu had already come over. He glanced at Zhu Xiaomin, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jiang Jiancheng, and invited him to go to the team headquarters.

Zhu Xiaomin stopped him: "Captain Niu, are we here to inspect the development of sideline businesses here? Or should we just get down to work?"

Jiang Jiancheng didn't want to cause any trouble, so he nodded immediately: "Yes, work is important."

Captain Niu stared at Zhu Xiaomin and pointed to a fork in the road: "Go in from here and you will reach the barn."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and turned to walk in that direction. However, after taking two steps, she saw several people blocking her way, staring at her with gloomy faces.

He Lanfang was startled, grabbed Zhu Xiaomin's arm and stopped, whispering: "Xiaomin, what should we do?"

Zhu Xiaomin turned her head to look at Captain Niu: "Captain Niu, what does this mean?"

Captain Niu looked at those people and said slowly, "Niu Dahuang, Secretary Zhu is here to work, please get out of the way."

The leader, Niu Dahuang, spat: "What a shit job! Pay for my brother's life first."

Zhu Xiaomin asked knowingly: "Your brother?"

"My brother Niu Erhuang was killed by you last year." Niu Dahuang shouted.

An old woman nearby started crying: "My poor son..."

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head: "Brother, please don't talk nonsense. I am a law-abiding citizen. I have never killed anyone. I didn't kill your brother."

"Why not?" Another person took two steps forward, "Last year, more than a dozen people in our village lost their lives because of you, didn't they?"

Jiang Jiancheng got anxious when he saw this, and rushed over to block Zhu Xiaomin, repeatedly saying: "What are you doing? Secretary Zhu is a local official, how dare you cause trouble?"

"We don't care where she is from. We just want justice for our own people!" Niu Dahuang shouted.

"Justice? What justice?" Jiang Jiancheng was angry. "They went to kill people, were caught and sent to the police station, and sentenced to death by the People's Court. If you want justice, go to the county."

"Director Jiang, you have nothing to do here." Niu Dahuang shouted.

"I came here with Secretary Zhu today, so I have something to do with it!" Jiang Jiancheng glared at him and yelled back, pointing at a group of people and saying, "Are you guys going to leave? If you don't, I'll write down your names one by one. You can imagine what punishment the commune will give you when the time comes."

What punishment can be given to some farmers?

Zhu Xiaomin felt helpless and amused.

At this time, Bai Guihua also came from behind, blocking Zhu Xiaomin with half of her body, and she put her hands on her waist, raised her chin and shouted: "Hey, you want justice, right? Whether it's with fists or hoes, I'll take it. But I'll say this in advance, after we fight today, I won't care about those widows anymore!"

How?

As soon as she finished speaking, several women rushed out and started to fight with the men: "You were afraid of Luo's revenge, so you instigated those idiots to kill people. Now they are all dead, and you still want to cut off the escape route for us orphans and widows. I will fight you to the death..."

When the widows started to make a scene, the group of people blocking the road suddenly became chaotic. Some men wanted to beat the widows, but Langya went over and grabbed them, saying, "What kind of hero is it to beat a woman?"

The widows even tore the old woman apart: "You want your dead son, right? You don't want me to marry a son-in-law, right? Then I'll take your grandson with me and remarry with someone else's surname. Don't regret it."

The old woman had no time to stop Zhu Xiaomin, and she started crying and making a scene with the widows, "You're going to cut off our Niu family roots if you remarry."

"Bah, you old Niu family have shitty roots, just a bunch of bad roots. You don't let me live a good life, so I don't care whether you have any roots or not." The widows cursed back.

It has to be said that the fighting power of this group of widows is extraordinary. The brothers from the husband's family and the mother-in-law can only fight them to a draw.

Of course, a big part of the reason was the group of scared and crying little kids who followed the widow. They didn’t talk about the widow, but the old woman, and they shouted, “Grandma, don’t hit my mom, my mom doesn’t want me anymore…”

Tsk tsk, how were these kids taught? They are so good at pulling with one hand.

Zhu Xiaomin watched with great interest from the side.

Jiang Jiancheng turned around and sneered: "Captain Niu, did you hear that? These people instigated the brothers to kill people. Do you want them to stop, or do you want me to go back and report to the commune and investigate thoroughly?"

Captain Niu was so angry that he pointed at the militiamen hiding in the back and pretending to be invisible: "Why don't you take them back quickly? It's embarrassing!"

Several militiamen rushed up, pulling here and there, and the people who were fighting did not separate, but they did make way for them.

Captain Niu looked at Zhu Xiaomin and said, "Secretary Zhu, let's go." He led the way inside.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, raised her leg and followed. He Lanfang leaned close to her, and her pace unconsciously quickened.

Zhu Xiaomin asked nonchalantly, "Captain Niu, you reported that the infrastructure is almost completed, what else is missing?"
