Jiang Jiancheng was the last one to come, and he whispered to Zhu Xiaomin, "Why is Shi Zhiqing competing to be a teacher when I remember that he had something wrong with him?"

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "It's the woman involved in Qian Yuanfei's case. She was in labor reform for two years and returned before the Chinese New Year. We originally said that her qualifications were not good enough for the teacher selection this time, but she threw a tantrum at the brigade headquarters and insisted on participating. We had no choice but to bring her along."

Jiang Jiancheng nodded: "You go and take a look. Just don't let anything serious happen. I'll go and accompany the people from the Education Commission." As he said that, he took a few quick steps forward.

Zhu Xiaomin hurriedly instructed the few educated youth who stayed behind: "You guys clean up this place." They followed him downhill, passed the woods and took a shortcut to the threshing ground. It was not until they were almost at the stone bridge that they saw the group of people with Shi Meijun in front.

At this time, the autumn harvest had not yet begun and the team's tractors were still idle. When the tractor driver heard Chen Danqing's message, he rushed to the threshing ground. He did not dare to turn off the engine and just stopped there and waited.

Although the sisters-in-law who were carrying Shi Meijun were strong, they were sweating because the road was both uphill and downhill and difficult to walk on. They ran so fast that they were exhausted. When they saw the tractor, they shouted together, "Okay, okay, we're almost there." They half-dragged and half-carried Shi Meijun and ran towards the stone bridge.

Shi Meijun was dragged for such a long distance that she could only feel her stomach dropping. She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak and could only let herself be dragged away.

At this time, there were still many male members weeding crops in the fields on both sides. When they saw this scene, they all rushed over and asked in unison: "What happened?"

As soon as the question was asked, Shi Meijun suddenly shouted, followed by a baby's cry, and the baggy men's trousers tied with a cloth belt slipped down, revealing a bloody baby in the crotch, crying loudly.

Time seemed to have stopped. Except for the crying child, everyone was dumbfounded and stood there without reacting. Almost all eyes were on the child.

Finally, Jiang Xingyu, who came over sweating profusely, broke the silence: "Nie Yifei refused to come, he said the child is not his."

Everyone was awakened, but they had never seen such a situation before and didn't know how to deal with it.

At this moment, a calm voice from the back of the crowd said, "The baby has been born. There is no need to go to the clinic. Please send her home and help deal with it."

It was Zhu Xiaomin who had just arrived.

The sisters-in-law came to their senses and immediately started to help.

When the baby was born, the umbilical cord had not been cut yet, so he couldn't be held alone. There were no scissors here, let alone disinfection.

Several sisters-in-law simply stripped off Shi Meijun's pants, wrapped the child up, tied the child with a cloth belt, rolled up the two trouser legs and hung them around her neck, and then carried the child back to the village.

In the midst of all the busyness, someone said, "It's a boy."

When the crowd heard this, they immediately started talking.

Most people in the village still believe that having more children means more blessings. Shi Meijun gave birth to three children in a row, all of them were sons. However, they were either born out of wedlock or the fathers were unknown. I really don't know whether it is a sin or a blessing. She does have a good belly.

At this time, it was already dusk. Not only were the children running around, but even the other members were finishing their work one after another. Seeing this scene, no one was shy and they all joined in to watch the fun.

Shi Meijun's arms were grabbed by the two sisters-in-law and placed on their shoulders. A child was hung around her neck. She was exhausted and was dragged away against her will. However, she was conscious. She felt quite embarrassed as she watched the crowd gathering around her and pointing at her.

After Qian Yuanfei's case, Shi Meijun was paraded naked through the streets and became a figure of public ridicule. Not to mention the rumors that have been circulating over the past six months, no matter who they are, they all look down on Shi Meijun from the bottom of their hearts.

The sisters-in-law didn't want to care about her at first, but because of Zhu Xiaomin's shout, they just wanted to finish the job quickly and didn't care whether she was uncomfortable or not. When they felt her struggle, they just held her tighter and ran across half of the village and went straight into the yard of Qian Zhuang's widow's house.

In the yard, the eldest girl had just come back from chopping firewood, the second girl was chasing Qian Chuanzi, and the youngest one was sitting on the ground playing in the mud. When they saw such a group of people coming in, they were all stunned and stared blankly, not knowing what was going on.

One of the sisters-in-law immediately shouted, "Daya, quickly boil some water." Before she finished speaking, she had already entered the house, piled Shi Meijun on the kang, and one of them searched the house for scissors and candles, while the other went out to get water.

In the room, Shi Meijun was exhausted. She struggled to untie the child from her neck and threw him aside. She had no strength left and lay limply there.

Outside the house, the uninformed crowd asked the sisters-in-law what had happened.

The eldest sister-in-law did not hold back her loud voice at all, and said loudly: "Don't you think it's unlucky or not? Selecting a teacher for our elementary school is such a happy event, but she insisted on participating. Not only can she not teach well, but she also treats everyone as a child. She is really shameless."

Be the child of all living beings?

Everyone was in an uproar, asking at once: "How can you be a child of all living beings? Are you in front of the county education committee?"

"Of course she made a fuss in the classroom, and she gave birth herself when we took her to the threshing floor." The eldest sister-in-law said angrily.

"Yes, I saw it." A man's voice confirmed.

"I saw it too. I thought someone was injured, so I went over to help. It's really bad luck," another man said.

For a moment, the crowd burst into discussion again.

The eldest sister-in-law urged Daya again: "Daya, boil some water quickly."

Daya shook her head and ran away: "She's not my mother, I don't care." She disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This child!" the eldest sister-in-law yelled angrily, "If it wasn't for Zhu Zhiqing's words, who would care about her?" There was nothing else she could do. She had to call out to everyone and ask whoever had ready-made hot water to bring it over.

There were some enthusiastic neighbors who brought water. When the eldest sister-in-law went in, she saw that the umbilical cord had been cut, the child was simply cleaned up, and she wrapped him up in the widow Qian Zhuang's blanket and didn't care anymore.

Over there, Zhu Xiaomin received the news that "mother and child are safe", but did not go into the village again, and turned to the brigade headquarters.

I went to the comrades in the Education Committee to explain the situation, and then said, "We knew that she was not only incompetent, but also failed the political review. We had already refused her participation and never let her attend classes. However, she made the team headquarters restless, so we had to take her with us and take the opportunity to make her realize her own problems. Who knew that something like this would happen again?"

Jiang Jiancheng also sighed and said to several people in the county: "The people in this village are all related to each other. Even Shi Zhiqing can't get rid of his relationship with the villagers. It's true that it's not easy to do the work."

Gu Mancang continued, "Except for her, the other eight educated youth are all good and have been substitute teachers for the past year. Let's choose two from them."
