The Lantern Festival is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and every household in Tieshanwan is full of lively, and the village chief Huang Yunlong's family is no exception.

Seeing that his son Huang Wangshui was about to leave his home to work at Xuefeng Gold Mine, the old couple of the Huang family were reluctant to leave. However, due to the fact that the father and son had a big fight because they lost the money to buy cows, Huang Yunlong couldn't hold back and there was no communication between the father and son.

However, Tian Lezhi couldn't bear to part with her son, so she kept playing with Huang Wangshui to pick up food in a bowl and told her to eat more.

The family got together for a reunion dinner, and Huang Wangshui and Zhao Xuemei came out of Huang Yunlong's house.

Looking at the two of them leaving, Tian Lezhi suddenly lamented, "Old man, you said that our Wangshui and Zhao Xuemei have been married for more than a year, why can't they have a son or half of their daughters?"

Although Huang Yunlong also wanted to hold his grandson, he expressed his understanding and said, "Don't Wangshui work in the gold mine? He can only come back in a month. It's not that easy to get pregnant."

"Why is it not easy? Even if you come back once a month, there will be more than a dozen times, so there is no movement at all." Tian Lezhi looked suspicious and whispered: "It's not that Zhao Xuemei can't give birth to a child."

"It's only been more than a year, what are you thinking?" Huang Yunlong shook his head and said.

Tian Lezhi stopped doing it and said angrily: "Huang Yunlong, you don't want to hold your grandson, I still want to!"

"Then what do you think?" Huang Yunlong asked.

Tian Lezhi leaned into Huang Yunlong's ear and whispered: "Or what if you take Zhao Xuemei to have a pregnancy test one day? If you really can't get pregnant, then you must divorce this marriage."

"These things are not visible yet. Is it too early for you to worry about them now?" Huang Yunlong felt that it was not good. His daughter-in-law was one of the best in the village, and his father-in-law was also envied. If you don't want such a beautiful woman, you may not be as good as Zhao Xuemei if you find a new wife.

Tian Lezhi's fierceness immediately jumped up and scolded him sternly: "Huang Yunlong, what's your attitude!"

Huang Yunlong was afraid of his wife, so he was glared at her eyes and had to say timidly: "It is better for the couple to handle the matter themselves."

"I have to take care of this matter. In short, this pre-pregnancy examination must be performed. If you cannot have a child, you must divorce this marriage!" Tian Lezhi slapped the bowls and chopsticks on the table, threw a sentence angrily, and left the seat angrily.

...

On the way home, Huang Wangshui was depressed.

Zhao Xuemei asked, "What's wrong, what are you thinking?"

"A bunch of useless wastes asked them to teach Li Shaoan a lesson, but they were beaten up."

Huang Wangshui gritted his teeth and recalled the situation where Wang Ergou appeared in front of him with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He thought that Wang Ergou and his group could beat Li Shaoan up, but he didn't expect that he would roll back in a mess.

When Zhao Xuemei was happy to hear that Li Shaoan was not only fine, but beat Wang Ergou and his group, she almost laughed. Fortunately, she finally tightened the corners of her mouth.

"No, this hatred must not be done with that!" Huang Wangshui clenched his fists.

Zhao Xuemei advised: "Forget it, when will the revenge be repaid? Besides, you and Li Shaoan have no deep hatred, so it is really unnecessary to make a fuss like this."

"You don't understand, this is not a matter of money, but a man's face and dignity!" Huang Wangshui said with a stern expression.

These words made Zhao Xuemei's heart tremble suddenly. She only had Li Shaoan in her heart. In a sense, Huang Wangshui's words were not unreasonable.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Zhao Xuemei said in a confrontation.

Huang Wangshuixin was unwilling to say: "I will go back to the gold mine tomorrow. I will not be at home for the next month. I can only take advantage of the kid Li Shaoan for a while and settle the score with him when I come back."

Zhao Xuemei remained silent on the side, but just followed Huang Wangshui quietly. Listening to him complaining all the way, the two of them returned home one after another.

...

The village branch went to work on the first day of the New Year, and there were endless villagers coming to do business.

Especially in the finance room, the villagers lined up to pay the money one after another. After a busy day, Zhao Xuemei rubbed her neck with her hands to relieve the pain after the whole day.

"Is your neck sore? Why don't I pinch it for you?"

Because Zhao Xuemei was tilting her head and moving her neck, she didn't see who the person at the door was. She thought that some brave guy dared to tease her, and immediately glared at her.

"Shaoan, why is it you?"

Zhao Xuemei was overjoyed. When she saw Li Shaoan, the fatigue of working for a day was wiped out. She immediately pulled Li Shaoan and sat next to her own small stove.

"Why are your voice different?" Zhao Xuemei said with concern.

Li Shaoan returned to his usual voice and laughed: "Just just outside the door, I saw you alone in the finance room, and I wanted to tease you on purpose."

Zhao Xuemei glanced at him and said resentful: "It's true, I still think that someone is a very brave guy in the village." He said it was a resentment, but in fact he couldn't hear any meaning of blame. Instead, it was like a girl in love acting cute to her boyfriend.

What surprised Zhao Xuemei even more was that she always thought that Li Shaoan was a serious man, but she didn't expect that she would occasionally be naughty.

Since the two of them had an experience in the guesthouse that night, their relationship has become different, and they have a special place in each other's hearts. In addition, since that day, the two have not met for a long time, so they are naturally happy to see each other when they see each other again.

Li Shaoan paid the land contract for his elder brother this time. Due to the poverty alleviation subsidy issue, the land rent that should have been paid last year was postponed until after the New Year.

The village branch has already gotten off work, and only Zhao Xuemei is left in the finance room. If someone else is gone, Zhao Xuemei will not bother to pay attention to it, but Li Shaoan's attitude will naturally be different.

Zhao Xuemei took out the key and opened the drawer. She saw that there were a lot of money in it, and each denomination was tied up in piles of white paper.

"There must be several thousand here!" Li Shaoan saw so much cash for the first time.

"Yes, there are more than 4,000 here, all of which are land contracted rent, and only 70% of them were collected. The remaining households have not yet come to pay the money." Zhao Xuemei said: "With the subsidy policy, all the land in the village has been contracted out this year, and there is no spare space."

Zhao Xuemei opened her bag and put all the money in the drawer. This is all the money from the public. Her job is to collect money and then deposit the money in the rural cooperative credit union.

Li Shaoan was heartbroken, "Xuemei, I really don't know how to thank you. Since you met you, you didn't know how much help you have helped me. If I hadn't been you, I wouldn't be what I am now."

"You and I still say this. You want to make me angry." Zhao Xuemei was happy when she heard this, and she felt extremely sweet. She did all this from the bottom of her heart and never thought about any reward.

"There is also the last time Wang Ergou and the others made things difficult for me, and it's also thanks to you who told my sister-in-law the news."

"It's fine if you're fine, the rest doesn't matter."

Zhao Xuemei hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Shao'an, in fact, Huang Wangshui is making trouble behind this matter. Wang Ergou, Kong Dazhu and the others are all called by Huang Wangshui to deal with you."

"If you don't say it, I can probably guess that Wang Ergou and I have no grudges in the past. They came to me to cause trouble for me. The only explanation was that they were instructed. And during this period, the only person they had to offend was that they were the only ones who would offend him."

Zhao Xuemei worriedly: "Huang Wangshui is a narrow-minded person and will retaliate. Before he went to the gold mine this time, he said that he would find an opportunity to retaliate against you in the future. You must be careful."

Li Shaoan gave a comforting look, "Xuemei, don't worry, I won't have anything to do."

After talking about Huang Wangshui, Li Shaoan remembered another problem, that is, Huang Wangshui and Huang Yunlong.

It was precisely because of this problem that I couldn't think of a good way after thinking about it. Li Shaoan felt that relying on his own mind was no longer possible, so it would be better to ask Zhao Xuemei for help.

"Xuemei, I actually have something to do. I want to ask you for advice. You have always been smarter than me." Li Shaoan laughed.

"Tell me, although I know it's a compliment, I love to listen." Zhao Xuemei covered her mouth and smiled.

"It's cousin's wife Shen Chunlan. She has been harassed by your father-in-law for the past six months..." Li Shaoan told the story of cousin's wife Shen Chunlan in one breath.

Zhao Xuemei showed a sneer and said, "Do you still remember? I told you last time that my father-in-law is not a good person. Last year, he spent 300 yuan from me in the name of the village. At that time, I felt that there was something wrong. It turned out that he had tried his best to do such a dirty thing."

"My cousin's wife was scared by him recently so much that she didn't even dare to stay at home. This old thing is really hateful." Li Shaoan did not avoid it and cursed Huang Yunlong in front of Zhao Xuemei.

Zhao Xuemei didn't care. She didn't have much affection for the Huang family, but when she saw her dark eyes rolling, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she had already thought of a way to deal with Huang Yunlong in an instant.

"Shao'an, do you know what Huang Yunlong is most afraid of?"

"How can I know this?"

"What he fears the most is my fierce and tough mother-in-law. As long as my mother-in-law gets angry, Huang Yunlong will be so scared like a chicken."

Li Shaoan slapped his forehead and laughed out loud, "Xuemei, you are still smart. The turtle is afraid of iron hammers, and Huang Yunlong is afraid of Tian Lezhi. Why didn't I think of this way to subdue something?"
