There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 820 Is this stealing again?

When these people saw Zheng Xinyue, they all looked stern, swallowing their saliva and staring at her nervously. Although Zheng Dakui was no longer the captain, Zheng Dashan was also Zheng Xinyue's cousin, and they were all afraid that she would complain. The corn must be confiscated.

Zheng Xinyue tilted her head and walked over as if she hadn't seen him. These few people breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards the village with their heads lowered and their waists lowered.

The emerald green corn leaves were overwhelming. Standing at the edge of the field, you could only see a distance of one meter. Further inside, there were dense corn leaves. Zheng Xinyue stared for a long time without looking for her mother.

Zheng Xinyue simply stopped looking. Every time she walked through a ridge, she put her hands to her mouth and shouted:

"Mother."

The leaves of the cornfield made a rustling sound when blown by the wind. Zheng Xinyue's voice was not loud enough for people on the edge of the field to hear it, but it could not be heard at all if she was in the center of the cornfield.

Zheng Xinyue kept shouting for a long time. She even tried her best to breastfeed, but she didn't see her mother coming out.

 She started to get anxious. When could she find her mother if she kept searching like this? I still don’t know what’s going on with grandma! My mother would be very sad if she couldn't see her grandma for the last time.

 “Shh! Stop shouting!”

Just as Zheng Xinyue's anxious throat was filled with smoke, a squeezing voice sounded in the corn field beside her, and then the corn leaves shook. Gao Guilan, wearing a green scarf on her head, poked her head out and looked around. Zheng Xinyue hurriedly shut up and looked at her in a funny way. Is this stealing again?

Gao Guilan emerged from the ground when she saw that there was no one around. She was wearing a shabby coarse cloth gown with various patches, and she was holding a bulging bag of corn wrapped in a coat. It looked like there were at least ten ears of corn.

“Mom, our family is not short of food, so why are we still stealing?”

During the autumn harvest, being caught stealing grain is typically a big deal. Zheng Xinyue lowered her voice to persuade her mother.

“Why should others take it but not me? You, am I the one who suffers?”

Gao Guilan curled her lips. She was worried that there would be too much food. If she didn’t eat today, there would still be tomorrow!

 Da Kui is no longer the captain of the brigade, so she can't sleep unless he takes advantage of him.

"Okay, let's go quickly! My grandma is very ill. My uncle said she can't even get up from the bed. She said she wants to see you."

Zheng Xinyue thought about it and still felt uneasy. Her family had offended many people in the village. Who knew who was stabbing her in the back? She reached out to take the corn from her mother's hand. She thought it was better not to carry it in a showy way.

 “Give it to me, I’ll carry it.”

 “Your grandma is sick, please leave quickly.”

Gao Guilan panicked when she heard that my mother was sick. My mother had always been in good health, and any illness was just a minor problem. If she couldn't even get up from the bed, it must be a serious illness.

Zheng Xinyue was so panicked that she didn't notice what she said. She stretched out her hand to pick up Bao Mi Gao Guilan and gave it to her. She hurried home without even looking back.

Zheng Xinyue quietly got into the corn field, hid the big bag of corn in the space, and then came out and followed her mother home quietly.

As soon as they left the rice field, they saw Zheng Dashan standing in the middle of the road with a dark face. There was a pile of confiscated corns on the ground. Behind him stood the aunties who had stolen the corns, all of them staring downcast and distressed. That corn.

Gao Guilan was stunned for a moment when he saw Zheng Dashan. Did he not expect that he would be waiting to arrest someone halfway?

 “Xinyue, hide in the ground.”

Gao Guilan immediately regained her composure, lowered her voice and said something to the girl behind her, pulled up her clothes and walked towards Zheng Dashan with her head held high.

 “Sister-in-law.”

Zheng Dashan is only superficially polite to Gao Guilan now. If she really steals food, he will never show mercy. He stared at Gao Guilan's hands when he walked out.
