Fishing and Hunting 82, Starting with Three Sisters Who Overprotect Their Brothers

The morning sun shines through the clouds and onto the earth.

Smoke rose from every household in Chishongtun, and some diligent villagers went to the fields early with their hoes. However, when they passed by Zhang's house, they all stopped in their tracks.

"The construction site is always bustling." Someone asked curiously, "What's going on today?"

"Old Li and Old Wang's wife got into a fight."

"What do you support?"

"It seems that Shanzi sold snakes and didn't give Chunhua and the others a share of the money, so Li Yuegang and his wife stepped in to stand up for them."

Passersby stared wide-eyed. "And then Granny Chunhua and Li Yue just started fighting?"

"Um?"

People who were originally carrying hoes and about to go to the fields suddenly swarmed around.

This needs to be investigated.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering outside, Zhang Jianshe frowned and looked at his son: "Won't this delay your trip to town?"

"It's alright, the brigade leader should be here soon." Zhang Wenshan continued to lean against the door frame and eat his cornbread.

Old Mrs. Wang was surprisingly more astute than most people in the village, and she was also intelligent and well-informed. She even knew that Li Yuegang and his wife would come to cause trouble, so she laid an ambush in advance.

Of course, it's also meant for my own viewing.

But no matter what, having her in front of us certainly saves a lot of trouble; at least we don't have to personally get involved in verbal battles.

"Should we stop them?" Xu Xiulian also turned her gaze over. "The insults they're using are too awful."

Grandma Wang and Sun Xiaoqin appeared to be fighting fiercely, but in reality, they didn't touch each other at all and maintained a safe distance.

One was afraid that the other person might actually fall to the ground and get hurt.

The other one is probably genuinely afraid of getting beaten up.

Both sides resorted to verbal attacks, drawing parallels to each other's ancestors and past grievances, indiscriminately targeting each other's relatives, with every word cutting to the heart.

"You killed your son."

"The Li family is destined to have no sons. Who knows where Li Dong came from, this bastard?"

"You'll kill your grandson sooner or later."

"Your son cheated at gambling; he'll be in jail sooner or later..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard fell silent. The onlookers looked at each other, their expressions changing.

"Last time I played cards with Li Dong, I lost every single hand."

"You know what, it's true."

"You bastard, you didn't tamper with the cards, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yue and his wife turned deathly pale. In the village, some things don't need evidence; suspicion alone is enough to kill.

"Bullshit!" Sun Xiaoqin cursed at those around her. "You all have rotten hands, why are you blaming my son?"

Mrs. Wang sneered, fanning the flames, "As the old saying goes, eating, drinking, and having fun are all losses, only gambling guarantees a return. Without any cheating, how come Li Dong keeps winning?"

"I won the first two games, then I kept losing!"

"Wait a minute, Li Dong seems to have lost before..."

"Didn't someone say the other day that Wang Kai and Zhou Ergou are both shills, and the three of them are acting together?"

"I remember now, when Li Dong lost, Wang Kai won money."

The rumors grew increasingly outrageous, and Sun Xiaoqin, enraged, grabbed a carrying pole from the ground and swung it fiercely at the crowd, yelling, "Serves you right for spouting nonsense..."

The crowd suddenly parted, making way for the person who had just stepped into the courtyard.

The man flicked his wrist, grabbed the carrying pole, and shouted in a booming voice, "You want to rebel?"

"B-Captain."

"Captain, are you alright?"

"I, I didn't mean to."

Upon seeing who it was, Sun Xiaoqin panicked, and the onlookers all lowered their heads.

"What are you trying to do, blocking Jianshe's doorstep so early in the morning?" Captain Wang Tieshan looked around, his face grim.

It's not easy for a village to find someone who can take the lead and get things done.

Instead of helping out, they cause trouble every day.

"We...we're standing up for the fishing and hunting group." Sun Xiaoqin glanced at her husband, who shrank back and avoided her gaze.

She could only bite the bullet and say, "Yesterday, we made a fortune selling snakes, and Zhang Wenshan pocketed it all, not sharing a single penny with anyone else..."

"Shanzi, you speak," Wang Tieshan interrupted impatiently, waving his hand.

Why stand up for justice? It's all because of Li Dong's matter. Why do you have to ruin his business?

It seems Shanzi was very farsighted to prepare those documents in advance.

Before Zhang Wenshan could speak, Lin Cuihua was the first to step forward: "I've broken up with him."

Ge Ergui followed closely behind: "We were there at the time, and there were no problems whatsoever."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoqin was so happy she almost jumped for joy. Pointing at Zhang Wenshan, she stomped her feet and complained, "Captain, look, they've all admitted it! Zhang Wenshan formed a clique, he's greedy..."

In her mind, once this matter is exposed, it will surely cause public outrage.

As expected, the onlookers immediately started discussing it.

"That's not fair! How can they divide up the collective's money among themselves?"

"These two simpletons, how could they even mention dividing the money?"

"The fishing and hunting team is finished."

At the same time, voices rose from the crowd.

"Captain, you have to stand up for us! They at least get a share, but Qiuping works for free and gets nothing!"

"Cuihua, how could you do such a thing? You've really brought shame to our Lin family. You should apologize to everyone right now."

Sun Xiaoqin's mouth was practically stretched to her ears as she looked at Old Mrs. Wang and Chunhua with a smug and disdainful expression.

Ever since those two shameless people betrayed her, she's been plotting revenge, so she avoids them when gathering information.

Now that the fishing and hunting group has disbanded, they'll be in for a rough time.

They insisted on acquiring their land at the lowest possible price.

"Team leader..."

Lang Qiuping and Lin Cuihua's expressions changed drastically. They glared fiercely at the person who spoke, and then hurriedly cast apologetic glances at Zhang Wenshan.

Just when they were about to start living a good life, their so-called relatives turned on them.

They were already used to this, but they were afraid of causing trouble for the team leader and delaying important matters.

Zhang Wenshan smiled gently and raised his hand to signal the two not to be afraid.

He walked slowly to the center of the courtyard, his gaze sweeping across the entire area before finally settling on Wang Tieshan: "Captain, let's issue a public notice regarding the fishing and hunting team's affairs!"

Wang Tieshan nodded: "Let's do it this way, so that some people won't always think they're so clever."

Seeing the two of them acting so nonchalantly, Sun Xiaoqin had a bad feeling and turned to the rest of the fishing and hunting team: "Say something!"

She was met with silence.

"People whose household registrations aren't even in the same place shouldn't waste their breath talking to irrelevant people."

Zhang Wenshan looked at Sun Xiaoqin as he spoke.

"My fishing and hunting team is responsible for its own profits and losses. The more you work, the more you earn. If you don't participate in catching snakes, you naturally won't get any money."

"before……"

"Back then, we used to farm collectively by work points?" Zhang Wenshan glanced at the members. "They all agreed to the distribution plan for the fishing and hunting group. It's all in black and white; they signed it and put their fingerprints on it."

"you……"

Sun Xiaoqin was stunned.

Signed documents?

Why didn't anyone say that last night?

Why didn't her husband tell her?

This is like using their own family as a weapon. If they can get the money, great; if not, they won't lose anything.

She hurriedly turned around to look for Li Yuegang, only to find that the person who had been standing there just moments before had vanished without a trace.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

Sun Xiaoqin felt dizzy and her body went limp, causing her to involuntarily fall to the ground.
