Most of the young people who were arrested for investigation were released, and the rumors about the Feng family were naturally disproven. No one bothered the Feng family anymore.
With Jiang Liang's arrest and the fact that most people had returned to the farm, the family finally felt at peace.
Li Boshan and Feng Yanhong agreed to buy some new year's goods and then take Bo Qing back together.
****
Within two days, the city's Public Security Bureau sent people again to the farm and took away five or six girls, including Lan Xin.
Lan Xin was naturally reluctant to go, but she had no choice but to cooperate. When she got into the police car, Lan Xin wanted to bury her face.
But she may have forgotten that good things don’t go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Even if she buries her head, someone will spread the word about her.
What's more, there is no airtight wall in this world. Before these girls could finish being questioned, rumors were already flying all over the sky.
The most common point is that these girls all have a relationship with Yu Sheng, an unclear relationship.
After that, there were a lot of speculations. For example, some time ago, about Lan Xin’s engagement to Fengzi, some people quietly speculated about who the child was.
Naturally, Cao Hongjun's mother refused to give up after hearing these remarks, and went to Lan's house that afternoon.
The Lan family carefully apologized and begged her not to make trouble, but the trouble became even more violent.
Standing in the middle of the company, he wanted not only to refund the bride price, but also to give extra compensation to his son.
When Feng Yanhong and his wife returned to the company, the Lan family and the Cao family were having a huge quarrel. Cao Hongjun hurriedly passed by the Li family's door on his bicycle, without even having time to say hello to the two of them.
"Let's go in first." The three of them were carrying things in their hands, standing in front of the door, which was very eye-catching.
The three of them went in but did not come out again. In the evening, there was no sound from the center of the company, but Feng Taizhou came in with Bai Xiu.
"Lan Xin is back. The Lan family is in a state of panic. That Cao Hongjun has also come and caused a big fuss. Your dad and I made a plan and came over."
Feng Yanhong and Li Boshan came out to welcome them, and Bai Xiu quickly explained.
"I brought half a chicken and some sausages."
Ji Shuying heard the noise from the back room and quickly came out to welcome the two of them in.
"I came here when I came, why did I bring something with me? I'm so embarrassed."
Bai Xiu insisted on handing the things to Li Boshan, "You can't come empty-handed. I've made a lot of sausages this year, so I'll give them to you to try."
"Mom, you go in first, the food will be ready soon." Li Boshan took the things and entered the kitchen.
When the two families were sitting together to eat, Lan Zhongmin knocked on the door anxiously and asked to borrow a bicycle.
"That bastard Cao Hongjun pushed my Lan Xin, and when he saw that she was red, he rushed to take Lan Xin to the hospital."
Lan Zhongmin's words made everyone understand what was going on.
Without saying a word, the Li family pushed the bicycle out to Lan Zhongmin and told him to be careful on the road.
When we came back for dinner, the whole family was no longer interested.
No matter how bad the relationship with the neighbors is, they will never do anything to take pleasure in others' misfortune.
The child was gone after all, and the Cao family's 200 betrothal gift was not refunded. After all, Cao Hongjun was also at fault, so it was regarded as compensation.
The day Lan Xin was discharged from the hospital was already New Year's Eve. While other families were happily preparing to celebrate the New Year, Lan's family was particularly peaceful.
It's not easy for the Feng family to make a big fuss or make too much noise.
Feng Yanjun was picked up by Feng Taizhou on his bicycle around noon on New Year's Eve. He brought a lot of things with him and also bought two firecrackers from the supply and marketing cooperative.
In previous years, Feng Yanjun would have disappeared with his group of friends, but this year he was extraordinarily well-behaved and quietly helped out at home.
This year is also the first time that Feng Yanhong is not at home to celebrate the New Year, and the atmosphere at home is much cooler than before.
Bai Xiu was in a daze today and almost added salt twice when cooking.
"Mom and Dad, we are back."
Feng Yanhong's voice instantly made Bai Xiu tremble, and even Feng Taizhou hurriedly lifted the curtain from the back room and came out.
"Why did you come back today? You came back only after you were in the second grade of junior high school?" Bai Xiu was so surprised that he almost shed tears, and quickly asked Li Boshan what was going on.
"My family doesn't have that many rules. My mother said that Yanhong will spend less time at home in the future, and the distance is not far anyway, so she asked Yanhong to come over and spend more time with you these days."
“Eat here for lunch and go back for dumplings in the evening.”
Li Boshan hugged Feng Yanhong with a smile on his face and held a pack of snacks and two bottles of Erguotou in his hand.
"Did you cook enough?"
Feng Yanhong's face was red and she pulled Bai Xiu's sleeve with a smile.
"Enough! How can it not be enough? I'm going to get another dish right now. You go in first with Bo Shan."
Fortunately, she agreed to their marriage at that time. If her in-laws could do this, what else could she say?
"Almost wasn't enough. Mom was in a daze while cooking today and almost put salt in twice. If I hadn't stopped me, the chicken would have been useless today."
Bai Xiu entered the kitchen with his front foot, and Feng Yanjun stepped forward with a smile on his back foot to finish the attack.
The siblings smiled knowingly, and no one mentioned the matter again, and the family got busy together.
A firecracker before lunch resounded throughout the company, followed by the sound of firecrackers one after another. The sound of children playing and the laughter of adults completely covered up the depressed atmosphere of the Lan family.
The Feng family was particularly lively this year with the addition of Li Boshan. In the afternoon, Li Boshan made paste and posted couplets before returning to the Li family with Feng Yanhong who was reluctant to leave.
The Li family was even more lively. There was a table playing cards in the old house, and it was very lively.
"Sister-in-law is back, come on, second grandfather is not so lucky today, I will give up my position to you." Li Boqing jumped up and gave up his stool to Feng Yanhong.
"I'd better forget it, you can play, I'll just watch you play."
The cards they were playing were different from the cards he played at home. How could she know how to play cards? Besides, she was really not the type to play cards.
She doesn't know how to count or remember cards at all. The last time she played Pai Gow, it was all because Bo Qing was there to teach her, otherwise she would have had to be cannon fodder.
"Yanhong came and played a few games. Let Boshan show you the cards. You don't have to worry about anything and you don't want to play with money. I just posted a note."
Ji Shuying also stood up, and Feng Yanhong discovered that the faces of her mother-in-law, second grandfather, and Li Bosong were covered with notes. Only Li Boqing's face was clean.
"When we came back, we saw that the couplets had not been posted at home yet. Yanhong and I went to post the couplets, and you can continue to play."
Originally, her mother-in-law told Feng Yanhong that it was not easy to refuse, but Li Boshan said a few words and pulled Feng Yanhong out of the door.
"Mom is desperate and wants to run away! Bo Qing must have noticed it too, so he ran away in a hurry. We won't add a stove to them, we'll just wait and watch the excitement."
