70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

There was a dent, a hole, on the brick.

Zhou Qingwen went to the place Zhang Baocai frequented.

"Zhang Baocai!"

Zhang Baocai stammered, "Zhou...Zhou Qingwen, what do you want me to do?"

"Tell me properly, what did you do on my ninth-grade exam paper?"

Zhang Baocai swallowed nervously, then turned to run, yelling, "Stop!"

A dart was pressed against Zhang Baocai's throat. If he moved it even a fraction of an inch, his throat would be slit by the dart!

"Don't do anything rash! I... I don't know anything!"

"Don't know? That won't do. I have witnesses who can prove that you changed my exam paper. Do you want to guess that it was because you ran fast?"

Or am my darts faster?

Anyway, it's getting dark soon. Once you're injured, I'll put you in a bag and dump you deep in the mountains. Your body will probably be ground to dust by then, and your family won't be able to find you!"

Zhang Baocai thought about it and realized it was true. Even if his family were willing to search in those deep mountains and forests, they probably wouldn't be able to find his body.

Forget about revenge!

No one has been able to find out who did it!

Zhang Baocai swallowed hard: "I did correct your test paper, but I didn't go to high school, so the test paper was useless!"

"Useless! You're useless, but you're useful to me! You go to school tomorrow right now and explain the whole story of how you tampered with my exam paper. I want my exam paper and my grades back!"

Zhang Baocai swallowed hard and said, "What if I don't tell you?"

"You won't tell me? Then let's see when you throw me into that deep mountain forest. Once you're in, don't even think about getting out!"

"He Gousheng and Sun Erniu were both injured by wild boars. If you go deep into the mountains, I'll help you find a good spot, like one where tigers roam! I know all about those!"

Sweat dripped down Zhang Baocai's forehead like soybeans: "I said, I'll go to the school principal right away to clarify things, I'll make things clear."

Zhou Qingwen tensed slightly and said, "I'll go with you!"

Zhang Baocai swallowed hard: "Okay, let's go together then."

How could Zhang Baocai dare to resist?

He was scared!

Like He Gousheng?

I heard that his genitals were injured, so he can't do that anymore.

Sun Erniu is a little better, but he's still a cripple!

Zhang Baocai wept bitterly in front of the principal, saying that he had asked Luo Xiuqin to attract the teacher's attention so that she could secretly cover up Zhou Qingwen's test paper with black marks, write two names on it, and switch the papers.

The principal went to the school's exam paper archives that same day and retrieved their exam papers.

Although Zhou Qingwen wasn't the top student in the entire grade, he was still among the top five.

The principal was furious and scolded Zhang Baocai: "You good-for-nothing! It's a good thing you said it out loud. With Zhou Qingwen's grades, he'd be a shoo-in for high school."

Zhou Qingwen immediately said, "Principal, please change my grades back. Although I don't plan to go to high school now, I would like to study for a couple more years."

The principal immediately said, "That's fine, but it's hard to say how long this grade will be valid. You should make arrangements for your family as soon as possible."

When Zhou Qingwen finally saw the results in the file, he ranked fifth, which was not bad.

Zhou Qingwen returned home, where Yu Yalan's stir-fried chicken was already kept warm in the pot.

Zhou Qingwen returned home beaming with joy and told his family, "I ranked fifth in my class and can apply to go to high school, but I still need to go hunting for the time being."

Zhou Feitian then said, "Hunting is a major source of income for your family, but your studies are also very important. Think about it and try to continue your studies. The family has enough money to support your education."

Yu Yalan stared at Zhou Qingwen with excitement and a smile in her eyes, saying, "I also support you going to school."

The eldest brother and sister-in-law also said, "Qingwen has the best grades in this family. If it were his previous grades, he naturally wouldn't have been able to get into high school, but now he's fifth in the class, so he can definitely get into high school."

Moreover, the whole family isn't highly educated. If you could go to school and get into university, that would be a great honor for the family!

The second brother and sister-in-law, beaming with joy, said, "Third brother, from now on, you'll be the scholar in our family!"

Liu Yue'e had a broad smile on her face, but a few tears welled up in the corners of her eyes: "Luckily, you got your grades back. Has Zhang Baocai been punished?"

The principal said that he would leave a note on his test paper saying that he stole and swapped someone else's test paper, and it would probably be reported to the police station. It is estimated that Zhang Baocai will have to write several self-criticisms.

Furthermore, Zhang Baocai's act of stealing other people's exam papers will ruin his political career; he can forget about even getting a spot in the militia!

Everyone gasped!

Zhang Baocai had been keeping an eye on the militia shortage in the brigade, so it was said that Zhang Baocai was fifth in his junior high school grades, which was the same as when he cheated on his way out of school.

His father, who was the production team leader next door, recommended Zhang Baocai almost three times in a row, saying that Zhang Baocai should join the militia team as the team leader!

This is terrible!

Zhang Baocai and the militia captain were never to meet again!

A gloomy atmosphere hung over Zhang Baocai's home!

The food on the table was spilled all over the floor!

Zhang Guoxing, the head of the Luo'ao production brigade and Zhang Baocai's father, got very angry!

He spilled the whole family's dinner on the floor.

Zhang Guoxing has never been as humiliated as he was this time.

He had to go three miles away to pick up his shame.

His second son?

Did that really make him look good?

I remember hearing him say he came in fifth place, and many people secretly said that Zhang Baocai would definitely become the militia captain of Luo'ao Production Brigade in the future.

This is also what Zhang Guoxing is working hard on.

As a result, Zhang Guoxing heard the principal talk to him about the situation.

Zhang Guoxing felt his face burning up at that moment, and he wished he could die on the spot!

His skin has completely crumbled!

As the captain, when he got home, he would unleash his full potential.

Zhang Baocai could only endure the barrage of insults and beatings, which still didn't appease them. They were going to make Zhang Baocai move to a thatched house at the foot of the mountain.

At this point, Zhang Baocai's mother cried and tried to stop him.

"Brother Guoxing, if you're letting Baocai live at the foot of the mountain, then kick me out too! If he goes down there, I'll probably be collecting his corpse in no time!"

Zhang Guoxing angrily said, "Mind your own business! He's perfectly fine! How dare he go and grade other people's papers? How can he be so shameless?"

Zhang Baocai's mother, tears streaming down her face, said, "Now that this has come to light, what are we going to do? We can't just send Baocai to jail, can we?"

Zhang Guoxing angrily said, "I'd rather he go to jail! So he won't be around in front of me anymore!"

Zhang Baoxin and his wife dared not utter a sound.

When Zhang Guoxing loses his temper, no one can stand it!

Zhang Guoxing's wife, Wan Ruhua, pulled Zhang Baocai over: "Kneel down! Apologize to your father!"

Zhang Baocai immediately pleaded, "Dad, I was wrong! Please don't kick me out, I don't want to die! Zhou Qingwen said that if I don't correct my exam paper, he'll drag me into the deep mountains to be fed to tigers! Dad! Please save me!"
