Country Love: My stepmother, Yang Xiaoyan, told me to tone it down.

"Whatever, that's enough."

Big Feet is about to leave.

"Since it was taken from you, it's...it's your responsibility!"

Liu Neng insisted.

"What rat head? Isn't this just a duck neck?"

Xie Dajiao glanced at the evidence.

"Big Foot, look again, a duck... a duck neck with teeth, a mouth and eyes?!"

Liu Neng showed it to him.

"Who can guarantee that there won't be any hairs or flies in their food? It's not like I caused them, so why should I pay them?"

Xie Dajiao left in anger.

Liu Neng, unwilling to suffer in silence, called the police that very day.

The evidence is conclusive: Xie Dajiao obtained the goods from an unlicensed and unregulated workshop, violating the Food Safety Law.

People from the local police station and the industry and commerce bureau came.

Big Foot Grocery Store was shut down by the Industry and Commerce Bureau and is prohibited from operating for a month.

This is no small matter; if someone dies from eating duck necks and rat heads, the responsibility is enormous.

Police are preparing to take away the legal representative of the grocery store and detain him for three days.

It was only then that they discovered that the legal representative of the grocery store was actually Li Fu.

"What does this have to do with me? I stopped living with Xie Dajiao a long time ago!"

When he received the call from the police, Li Fu made excuses.

To evade responsibility.

Li Fu rushed back overnight, cancelled the grocery store's business license, and went to process his divorce with Da Jiao.

"That was so satisfying! Otherwise, you unlucky woman would have ruined me!"

Li Fu cursed.

"You're satisfied, and so am I!!"

Bigfoot was secretly delighted.

She had long wanted to divorce Li Fu and be with Wang Changgui on March 3.2nd.

Li Fu deliberately stalled, but this time the police intimidated him and he actually did it.

Big Foot Grocery Store was shut down, and Big Foot didn't have much money; the total value of the goods was only a few hundred yuan.

The police wanted to seek compensation from the manufacturer, but the unlicensed workshop had already disappeared.

"Officer, you must help me get my money back, please!!"

Liu Neng grabbed their hands, frantic with worry.

According to the Food Safety Management Law, the main party responsible for compensation is the manufacturer.

The middleman, Big Foot, only lost a few hundred dollars.

"We will do our utmost to put the people's affairs first, and we will notify you immediately as soon as we have any news about duck neck and rat head manufacturers!"

When will you notify us?

Liu Neng looked on with longing eyes and asked pitifully.

This sum of over 5000 yuan can be considered Liu Neng's entire fortune.

If we can't find it, it's like taking his life.

"You must trust us."

The other party offered a few more words of encouragement, then got into the car and drove away.

Only Liu Neng and his wife were left, standing blankly on the street.

"Hey, Yingzi, where are you? Have you received your salary yet?"

Liu Neng called to ask.

All the money in the family has been used to pay for medical expenses, and we're almost starving.

"Dad, I'm in training here in Tianjing. I've only been here for two or three days. How can I get paid yet?"

Liu Ying applied for a job as an ant farming technician and is currently undergoing training in another province.

What happened?

"It's nothing, Yingzi. Focus on your work and that's it."

Li Xiulian hung up.

Hungry and with nothing to eat at home, she picked a cucumber from the vegetable garden in the yard and started eating it.

"Give me one, I'm hungry too!"

Liu Neng lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), half-dead, and said...

I had food poisoning yesterday, and I'm feeling really unwell. I should have been taking good care of myself, but I ended up staying home eating cucumbers and raw beans instead.

Chapter 58 Little Meng's mother cannot be spared either!

Because Yongqiang was digging up the mountain, Xie Guangkun was so angry that he fell ill at home for several days.

On this day,

He got up early and loaded some mountain produce and two small chickens onto the donkey cart.

They went to town to find Qi Santai.

No matter how disobedient Yongqiang is, he is still my son.

"Mayor Qi!"

Guangkun arrived at the town office.

"Oh, Guangkun, come in quickly!"

When Mayor Qi saw the small chicken and wild mushrooms in his hand, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Guangkun, you haven't been to town for so long. You must be holding a grudge against me because I couldn't get things done for you, right?"

Qi San was mostly joking.

"How could I dare? You're the town mayor, and I'm just an ordinary citizen."

Guangkun is sarcastic and eccentric.

"Guangkun, I wanted to get it done, and Director Xu of the county education commission readily agreed, but then he started having an affair with his female secretary. Who would have thought?"

Qi Santai sighed repeatedly.

To be honest, he felt a little guilty for eating so many of their small chickens.

“Mayor Qi, you are Yongqiang’s cousin, you can’t just ignore this. Ever since he couldn’t go to the county education commission, Yongqiang has developed serious psychological problems. He’s been carrying a pickaxe to the back mountain every day, like he’s possessed, saying he wants to start an orchard. If only we hadn’t given him that hope in the first place.”

The implication.

They blamed Qi Santai for failing to fulfill his promise.

"Guangkun, I know you and Yongqiang are upset. I've been thinking about this a lot. Yongqiang majored in agriculture and forestry in college, and now he has three paths to choose from."

"Tell me about it."

Xie Guangkun followed up with the question.

"First, let Yongqiang apply for the civil service exam. Look, this is the county's recruitment notice from 05. The competition is not too fierce. Once he passes the exam, he will be a formal civil servant. Changgui has been working in a public institution for decades."

"The second option is that Yongqiang has a bachelor's degree in agriculture and forestry and wants to grow fruit trees in the village. There are college students from the province coming down for internships these days, and I can help Yongqiang get one."

"The third option is for him to wait in the village while I help him look for vacant positions in the county or township. However, Yongqiang won't be a permanent employee there; he'll have to wait a few years and gradually work his way up to a permanent position."

Qi Santai analyzed the situation patiently, which showed he put in a lot of effort.

"Then how about taking the civil service exam?"

Xie Guangkun pondered and asked.

"That depends on Yongqiang's personal wishes."

"Okay, I'll go back and try to persuade them."

After Qi Santai offered some words of comfort, Guangkun felt a little better.

These days, Xie Guangkun is so angry with Yongqiang that he's too embarrassed to go out.

"Mayor, there's something else."

Guangkun had just turned to leave when he turned back and asked, "I heard that Changgui has been transferred to the town these past few days, is that true?"

"Really? What's up, Guangkun? What's your plan?"

Qi Santai was a cunning old fox; he saw right through Guang Kun.
