After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 189 Help Find Someone

"What I said was the truth. Zhang Sanmei thought Shen Zhiqing was her daughter who died long ago, so she listened to her so much. If you don't believe me, ask Zhang Sanmei!"

As soon as Wang Cuifen said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little strange. The captain frowned even more, obviously surprised by Wang Cuifen's words.

"Comrade Wang Cuifen, why do you always talk about other people's children who died young? Tell me, Shen Zhiqing is only a few years older than Chuntao. What's wrong with Comrade Zhang Sanmei treating Shen Zhiqing as a junior?" The team leader asked sternly.

Wang Cuifen remained silent, muttering, "I just said it casually, I didn't mean any harm..."

At this time, Shen Nian raised his hand and asked, "Captain, Comrade Wang also slandered Comrade Zhao Yingdi for stealing eggs from the chicken farm. How should this matter be handled?"

When Wang Cuifen heard Shen Nian's words, she quickly waved her hand at the captain and said, "Captain, I really didn't say she stole the eggs. I just spoke too quickly..."

"Is there anyone who talks as fast as you? I think you are just too idle! From today on, you will be responsible for carrying manure!" The team leader angrily assigned a heavy task to Wang Cuifen, hoping to teach her a lesson.

Wang Cuifen's face turned pale upon hearing this. Carrying manure was the dirtiest and most tiring job in the brigade. In previous years, it was done by people in the cowshed. Now the brigade leader wanted her to do it?

"Captain, I...I..." Wang Cuifen didn't want to go. She quickly pointed at Aunt Zhang and said, "I'm carrying manure. What's she supposed to do?"

"What is she doing? What do you want her to do? Can I ask her to supervise you and let you carry manure? Go quickly, or your work points will be deducted if you don't go!" The team leader stared at Wang Cuifen seriously, his tone leaving no room for questioning.

When Wang Cuifen heard that her work points would be deducted, she knew it was useless to argue any further, so she had to shut up and leave in shame.

The captain shouted towards the door again: "That's enough! What are you still doing here? There's nothing to do in the fields? Disperse immediately!"

After most people had left, the captain looked at Shen Nian and Aunt Zhang, and his tone was much softer:

"Shen Zhiqing, Chuntao's grandmother, don't take it personally. Wang Cuifen is just a chatterbox, she doesn't mean any harm."

"She's already talking about my daughter who died a long time ago. How can you say she has no ill intentions? Then what does it mean to have ill intentions? Is it to talk about my entire ancestry?"

Aunt Zhang became a little agitated when she heard this. If she hadn't known that Xiaohong would tell everything on her behalf, she would have started arguing with Wang Cuifen a long time ago!

She was barely satisfied with the outcome of the situation. Fortunately, she had restrained herself from making a fuss, otherwise she would have to do the job of carrying manure!

When they came out of the brigade office, Shen Nian and Aunt Zhang didn't say anything. Aunt Zhang walked behind and looked at the back of Shen Nian's head, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Nian, don't take Wang Cuifen's words to heart. Auntie...isn't that..."

"Aunt San, I know what you mean. Look how capable I am. Who in our brigade wouldn't want me to be their daughter, right?"

Shen Nian had sensed from the beginning that Third Aunt Zhang treated her differently from the others. Perhaps at first Third Aunt Zhang felt sorry for her and wanted to help her, seeing her taking care of her two younger brothers.

But as they spent a long time together, the relationship between the two had gone beyond a simple neighborly relationship.

If she had to define the relationship between the two, Shen Nian felt that they were more like friends.

She has always been very clear that although she is now the 19-year-old Shen Nian, her soul is the 30-year-old Shen Nian.

Nineteen-year-old Shen Nian may yearn for maternal love, but thirty-year-old Shen Nian can already comfort herself with the maternal love in her memories.

"That's for sure. Everyone in our team knows that you, Xiao Nian, are diligent and capable. Who wouldn't want to have a daughter like you?" Aunt Zhang was amused by Shen Nian's words, and the sadness on her face disappeared.

"Aunt San, to be honest, I am very grateful to you. Since I came to the brigade, you have always taken good care of me, just like my family." Shen Nian said sincerely, his tone full of gratitude.

Aunt Zhang's eyes moistened when she heard this: "Xiao Nian, your words warm my heart. There's no need to be so polite between us. From now on, no matter what happens, just tell me and I'll help you."

"Then, Auntie, our chicken farm employees will have dinner at my place tonight! You can come too, I'll cook some delicious dishes and we'll have a few drinks!" Shen Nian invited enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come!" Aunt Zhang agreed readily.

At this time, the team leader had walked up behind them and joked, "Xiao Nian, why don't you call your third aunt and not your uncle?"

Hearing this, Shen Nian responded with a smile: "Then I must ask you, Captain Uncle, to come along."

……

On the other side, in the black market, Heizi was busy with his work when he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Brother Hei! Someone is looking for you outside!"

Heizi raised his head and looked at him with a puzzled look: "Who's looking for me? Is Sister Xin here?"

Wang Mazi shook his head and said, "It's not Sister Xin. I know Sister Xin. It's the man who sent us game a few times before. He said he has something to ask you and he absolutely has to see you."

Heizi frowned, thinking to himself. A man delivering game? Every now and then, a different man would come and deliver game. How would he know who it was?

Besides, since he was the one delivering the wild game, we didn't have much interaction with each other normally. Why would he suddenly have to see him for something?

"Go and ask him what he wants from me. If he doesn't tell me, let him go." Heizi said, then lowered his head and continued to work on his hands.

Wang Mazi responded and turned to walk out. After a while, he came back and said, "Brother Hei, he wants us to help him find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Heizi asked.

Wang Mazi nodded: "Yes, he also said that as long as we help him find the person he wants, the price can be negotiated." As he said that, Wang Mazi stepped forward and whispered something in Heizi's ear.

Heizi stopped what he was doing and narrowed his eyes, obviously showing some interest in this sudden "business".

"Okay, go and ask him to come in." He said to Wang Mazi.

Wang Mazi responded and went out. Not long after, he came back with the man who delivered the game.

As soon as the man saw Heizi, he couldn't wait to get straight to the point and said, "Brother Hei, I heard you're very successful in this area, so I came here specifically to ask for your help."

Heizi looked at the other person calmly and motioned him to continue.

"Here's the thing. I don't know who the other party is, and I don't know how many people there are."

Heizi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You didn't say anything, and you just asked me to find someone?"

The man looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "My girlfriend was bullied by someone, and I just want to find that person and avenge her!"

When Heizi heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Revenge for her? Then you have to give me some clues, like where she was bullied and when it happened? You can't ask me to look for a needle in a haystack."
