When this serious accusation was slammed down on him, He Youcai's face instantly turned ashen.

In this era, military dependents held a very high status. As a mere battalion commander, he could not bear the responsibility of destroying a military dependent's family!

"Don't you dare make such a big deal out of this!"

He Youcai felt somewhat guilty, but looking at the fat pig on the ground, he subconsciously swallowed and felt really unwilling!

"Even if you don't do any manure collection or reform, you still have to earn work points for the brigade! If you don't work, your Guan family won't get a single grain of rice when it's time to distribute the grain at the end of the year!"

"Bullshit!!"

Guan Hongying was furious. She pulled out the butcher knife from the chopping board and slammed it into a nearby wooden stake with a loud bang, sending wood chips flying everywhere!

"He Youcai! Don't try to intimidate me with work points! My daughters and I earn work points by hunting, and we're always number one in the brigade! I, Guan Hongying, can support my own man and son!"

Seeing Guan Hongying's angry expression, the group of men couldn't help but retreat, but Guan Hongying pressed on relentlessly!

"My husband is a university professor from Beijing! His hands are for holding pens, not latrine scoops! From today onwards, I'll take care of all their work points!"

Guan Hongying's powerful declaration of protecting her husband echoed continuously in the courtyard.

At the same time, Daya silently picked up the door-blocking stick beside her, Siya fiercely weighed the wood-chopping knife in her hand, and even Guan Sanya, who always looked cold, expressionlessly took out the machete stained with wild boar blood from her waist and slowly wiped it with a rag.

Five fierce and wild girls, plus a murderous female demon, forced He Youcai and his two assistants to retreat to the doorway.

"You, your Guan family, are you plotting a rebellion?!"

He Youcai was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he pointed at Guan Hongying with a trembling finger and said in a shuddering voice.

"Rebellion?! I'll show you what true rebellion is today!"

Guan Hongying showed no mercy, grabbing He Youcai by the collar. "You think I don't know you stole cornmeal from the brigade's warehouse? If you dare come to our house to cause trouble again, I'll report you to the commune tomorrow for undermining socialism!"

He Youcai, who was still trembling and barely able to stand, was terrified when he heard those words.

At this point, he no longer cared about the "Five Black Categories" or wild boar meat, and quickly begged for mercy.

"Sister Guan, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Now that Professor Lin has married into the family, he's family with you all. Please rest well, please rest well, we'll be leaving now, we'll be leaving now!"

After speaking, He Youcai quickly led his two assistants and scrambled out of the Guan family compound, faster than rabbits.

Finally, they even helped close the courtyard gate, as if afraid that Guan Hongying's sharp gaze would pierce through them!

Seeing the group of people fleeing in disarray, a burst of cheerful laughter erupted in the courtyard.

Lin Hai stood there, stunned, looking at Guan Hongying who was standing in front of him, then at Lin Chuan who was arguing his case to protect him, and finally at the girls who were holding knives and sticks to protect them...

For no apparent reason, Professor Lin's nose tingled, and his eyes unconsciously welled up with tears...

During the past six months of his rural reform, he suffered endless scorn and humiliation, and even his wife abandoned him.

He was in poor health and often had trouble breathing. He thought he would die like a stray dog ​​this winter...

But now, he not only has meat to eat and clean, warm clothes to wear, but more importantly, he has a home again.

A home that may seem tough and rough, but is incredibly protective of its own and full of warmth and tenderness!

"Hongying..."

Lin Hai's voice trembled slightly as he stepped forward and grasped Guan Hongying's calloused hands. "Thank you."

Guan Hongying was caught off guard by this sudden display of tenderness, and her face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

She quickly hid the butcher knife behind her back, then stammered, "Oh dear, we're family, why are you being so formal! Old Lin, don't worry, as long as I, Guan Hongying, have something to eat, I will absolutely not let you and your son go hungry!"

Seeing the heartwarming scene before them, everyone wore smiles.

Lin Chuan felt a stinging sensation in his nose.

so good……

It's so good that he can live a good life with his father in this lifetime. It's so good that he chose Guan Hongying and the others in this lifetime.

"Alright, alright! Dad, Mom, stop being so sour~"

Lin Chuan chuckled and jokingly remarked, "My stomach is about to burst with hunger. If I don't eat soon, all that food will come alive."

"You brat, you talk too much!" Guan Hongying laughed and scolded, then waved her hand, "Girls, hurry up and get the chairs and the sorghum liquor! Tonight we're celebrating your father's arrival!"

"Alright!" everyone cheered.

Guan Siya sat back down in her chair and couldn't help but purse her lips as she looked at the braised pork on the table.

"What nonsense are you spouting? This braised pork has been cooked into a dish, how could it possibly come back to life? Could it turn back into a pig?"

"Pfft~"

Hearing a laugh behind her, Guan Siya turned around abruptly and saw Lin Chuan covering his mouth, his shoulders shaking violently.

"What...what are you doing? What are you laughing at?"

Seeing him smiling, Guan Siya felt somewhat awkward and even looked down at herself.

However, no matter how she looked, she couldn't find anything strange about herself.

"Hahaha, it's nothing, it's nothing. Fourth Sister, you should study hard and read more books. What I just said was a metaphor. How can you be so cute?"

With a "whoosh!", Guan Siya's face instantly turned bright red, her whole face like a teapot boiling over, about to steam.

"You...you...I know, you don't need to tell me!"

She turned away abruptly, ignoring Lin Chuan.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

Guan Sanya came out with a small stool and saw the scene in the courtyard. Her heart softened.

For some reason, she always felt that the days ahead would be different from the past.

The atmosphere at home is different now than before.

Facing this home, even after a long day, she didn't seem so tired anymore.

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the moon shone brightly and the stars twinkled in the sky above the Guan family's courtyard.

Under the same sky, Lin Chuan's younger brother, Lin Zhe, lay on a cold hospital bed, looking at his smiling stepfather, Yang Weidong, beside him, and inexplicably felt a chill.

"Dad, what are we doing at the hospital?"

Yang Weidong chuckled and said, "I've seen you guys stay in that dirty and chaotic countryside for too long, and I'm a little worried about your health, so I'll give you a medical check-up."

"Oh, oh..." Lin Zhe blinked blankly and nodded.
