Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Xiu thought for a moment: "No, I just saw it seems like Datian's can plant five thousand. What's up, Sister? Our greenhouse is going to be planted this fast?"

Chai Xiu has been busy reading books and such recently, so she hasn't paid much attention to these family matters.

Besides, Chai Mi doesn't let Chai Xiu worry about this.

Chai Mi roughly calculated: four thousand seedlings, that's about right. Anyway, when my first greenhouse plants seedlings, I'll take extra first. If it doesn't work, leave them inside. Wait until later when calculations are done, then transplant the extra seedlings to the second greenhouse.

But the greenhouse still has many unsolved problems now. Leaving aside the construction issues, just the future guard house issue is also a difficult problem.

But with too many difficult problems, we can only take it step by step.

So-called too many debts no worry, now too much work also no worry.

Busy for several days in a row, Chai Mi was also exhausted.

Chai Mi just rested properly.

In the following days, Lao Xia came to install shelves, Zhu Shukun brought people to work overtime building walls.

The greenhouses also went up one after another.

Time flew by, seven or eight days passed. Zhu Shukun's work finished here, labor costs added up to eleven thousand seven hundred yuan.

Lao Xia's side took a bit over eight days to finish, cost seven hundred yuan.

Such a large sum spent, not to mention Chai Youqing, even Chai Mi felt the pinch.

These recent four or five months, stall earnings were not small, added up to seventy or eighty thousand. But building the house plus lending to Old Aunt and that trip to Maternal Grandmother's Home also spent a lot. Plus this greenhouse's labor costs, and some messy expenses, added together spent over forty-four thousand.

Only twenty-some thousand left in hand.

Tomorrow should go get seedlings, by the way check if there are quilts for sale.

At noon, just eating, Second Uncle Chai You Fu came again.

Entered and said: "Big Brother, that who... Shengyue that... something happened... Sun Yuguang came down... went to the village to find Liu Zhanggui. I happened to run into them in front... sigh..."

Chai Mi froze: "What happened?"

Because the first two days Sun Yujun said Sun Shengyue was on a blind date, should get married soon.

This shotgun wedding matter, at the time according to Sun Yujun's saying, that man should have seen Sun Shengyue had a child, was pregnant.

Chai Mi was still waiting for after they married, there might be problems.

How come problems appeared now?

Don't want to marry anymore?

Chai Youqing also froze: "She... what happened?"

"Sigh... let her that what to say... that son-in-law, anyway betrothed, calling him that works. That son-in-law called what Niu something Feng, right, called Niu Dianfeng. He ah beat Sun Shengyue." Chai You Fu spoke, also with a schadenfreude but didn't dare laugh expression: "That child bitter life ah... don't know when got pregnant, that now beaten miscarriage..."

Chai Mi frowned:!!!

Chai Youqing froze a moment, didn't know what to say.

Su Wan originally busy eating, didn't pay much attention to this matter, but hearing Chai You Fu say this, instantly shocked: "Those two just betrothed and beat like this... this man cannot be married..."

Su Wan is still soft-hearted, feels men who beat women, still no good, cannot marry. If marry over, later decades, he beats every day, that person won't be beaten to death.

"How can there be such a person ah, Shengyue pregnant, he still beats... isn't this going to cost a life?"

Chai You Fu red-faced nodded: "Matter is just this matter, her father Sun Yuguang came down to find the brigade..."

Chai Mi frowned: "Then why doesn't he call police, finds Village Chief for what? Village Chief can manage this? Not even same village's matter... that Niu Dianfeng should be Town person right."

"Said it right ah... Village Chief also can't manage. But hearing Liu Zhanggui's tone ah... your Old Aunt their family doesn't want to call police." Chai You Fu said with strange expression: "Say afraid call police, man's side won't agree to marry..."

Chai Mi expression also became strange: This logic is really hard to take ah...

"That won't do, later married, Niu Dianfeng still beats my cousin sister what to do? I disagree." Chai Mi said with righteous indignation: "You two as my cousin sister's uncles, this matter you can agree?"

Chai You Fu noncommittal,

Chai Youqing naturally impossible to agree...

Own niece pregnant beaten miscarriage, this kind of man how possible to marry?

"That's not letting people bully to the door? This designated no good..."

Chai Mi put down bowl and chopsticks, face instantly piled up just-right shock and anger: "That's the principle! Beaten to miscarriage?! This still acceptable?! Second Uncle, you sure it's true?"

Chai Mi still worried Chai You Fu might have heard wrong, this matter not messed up, asked again.

Chai You Fu slapped thigh: "Absolutely true! Sun Yuguang personally said, that face like bitter melon! Shengyue girl now lying on kang, heard little face pale as paper! Aiyo, retribution ah!"

Su Wan listened covering heart: "My heavens! This is life-taking ah! Pregnant with child still bring hand down? This man is beast reincarnated right?"

Chai Youqing "clang" sound slapped chopsticks on table, angry beard bristled: "Call police! Must call police! Still have law?! Bully our Old Chai Family no people? I'm going to Police Station now!" Speaking rushed out.

Chai Mi quick-eyed quick-handed, grabbed Chai Youqing's arm, tone urgent yet appearing righteous: "Dad! Dad wait! Rush what? Go call police now, you know what they called? Live where? Just hear a name 'Niu Dianfeng' tops what use? Second Uncle, that person lives Town where? Does what?"

Chai You Fu scratched head: "Hiss... seems like Town West side Grain Depot? Sun Yuguang mentioned a bit, specific which family didn't say clear."

"See!" Chai Mi turned to Chai Youqing, face full of you-just-blindly-messing-around expression, "Grain Depot so big, you go where find person? Dad, you like this, you first go to Cunbu find Liu Zhanggui, he definitely knows more details, lives Town which area, or has Niu Dianfeng more detailed info. Ask clear, then go Police Station report case! This is proper process, don't be like headless fly blindly crashing. Done you still have to pull Liu Zhanggui together go report police, after all is our village's matter, he as Village Chief, also has responsibility follow you go. Me and Second Uncle now go see Shengyue cousin sister, she just suffered this big injustice, side no natal family person support how work? Second Uncle, you say right?"

Chai You Fu named, hurriedly nodded agreement: "Right right right! Chai Mi speaks reason! Big Brother, you go ask clear first, report case also must have basis. Me and Chai Mi go see Shengyue girl, ai, also pitiful."

Chai Youqing felt daughter spoke sentence sentence reason, belly full anger found vent: "Good! I now go find Liu Zhanggui! Ask clear immediately go Police Station! Dare beat my niece, I let him eat not carry walk!" Finished wind wind fire fire rushed out door.

Chai Mi watched father's back shadow disappear at door, turned to Su Wan said: "Mom, home you watch a bit. Second Uncle, let's go, don't delay."

Then Chai Mi and Chai You Fu arrived at Sun Yuguang's home, just entered door, a wave of medicine smell and oppressive atmosphere rushed over.

Sun Shengyue curled on kang, covered thick quilt, face indeed pale frighteningly, eyes hollowly staring at roof beam. Sun Yuguang squatted at kang edge, worry full face, sighing.

"Old Aunt Father! Shengyue Cousin Sister!" Chai Mi just entered door switched to worried urgent expression, quick steps walked to kang side, "Second Uncle just told us, scared us to death! Cousin Sister, how you feel? Still hurt not hurt?"

Chai You Fu also came over, clicking his tongue twice: "Aiyo, Shengyue, how did you end up like this? That Niu fellow is really not a thing! He didn't hold back at all!"

Sun Shengyue's eyelids twitched, she looked at Chai Mi and Chai You Fu, her lips trembling, unable to speak, tears came first.

Sun Yuguang had a bitter face: "Sigh... misfortune at home, how can we live like this?"

Chai Mi did not sit, asking: "Great Aunt's Husband, what exactly happened? Fine and good, why did Niu Dianfeng hit someone? And hit so hard?"

Sun Yuguang sighed heavily: "Sigh! It's not because Shengyue is pregnant! On the betrothal day, the Niu family side was already unhappy, feeling the timing was wrong, implying in their words that our Shengyue was not proper. Today Niu Dianfeng came to deliver some things, words led to quarrel, that bastard drank some horse urine, then he struck, pushed a few times, Shengyue then... sigh..."

"You could tell on the betrothal day? Then what's the point of betrothing? But speaking of which..." Chai You Fu reasoned to himself: "If he knew, he just accepted it. Finding fault now, truly not a thing."

Chai Mi liked watching the excitement and didn't mind a big matter.

In this era this kind of thing wasn't common, but it wasn't unheard of either.

So many men who were dirt poor, didn't care whether the woman was pregnant or not, as long as it was a woman.

Being able to marry a daughter-in-law was enough, as for whose child it was, it didn't seem very important.

After all, family conditions were what they were, all so poor they could barely live, having a woman as a daughter-in-law was enough, what was there to pick about.

So Chai Mi really felt Sun Shengyue being beaten was damn unlucky.

"Just because of this? Suspecting means hitting? Beating someone like this? Great Aunt's Husband, can you swallow this anger? This isn't a family matter anymore, this is intentional injury! It's a crime! Must report to the police! Let the Police Station arrest him!"

"Report to the police?" Sun Shengyue suddenly lifted her head from the quilt, her face full of terror and resistance, her voice weak: "Cannot report to the police! If we report, won't the whole village know..."

That Sun Shengyue's unwed pregnancy matter would be spread so everyone knew.

She didn't want this matter, everyone knowing, then how would she marry in the future?

Outsiders would call her spoiled goods, right.

Chai Mi looked at her in surprise: "Cousin! Why can't report? He harmed you like this! The child is gone! You're still protecting him?"

Sun Shengyue cried even harder: "If we report and make a big scene, he won't marry me even more, I like this, how can I marry in the future..."

Sun Yuguang also had a conflicted face: "Chai Mi, your cousin does have a point. If this matter reaches public ears, the reputation is completely ruined. Shengyue in the future... besides, if we really report, the Niu family will definitely not admit it even more. We want to talk to them first, see if we can..."

"Talk? What can you talk out with that kind of brute? Hitting someone and still having reason? I say he deserves a beating!"

"Cousin! You're muddled! He treats you like this, you still want to marry him? Today he can suspect and hit you because you're pregnant, tomorrow he can because of something else! This kind of man, his heart is black! You don't report now, he'll only think you're easy to bully, next time he'll hit even harder! Think about my Great Aunt, if she has spirit in heaven, seeing you being trampled like this and still having to swallow your anger, how heartbroken would she be?"

Mentioning her deceased mother, Sun Shengyue cried even harder.

Chai Mi continued: "Besides, the child is also a life! Just beaten away like that, and that's it? Are you willing? Doesn't your heart hurt? Reporting isn't to make a scene, it's to get justice for yourself and your unborn child! Let the law punish him! Let him know hitting and killing has a price!"

Chai You Fu also said: "Exactly! Shengyue, listen to Chai Mi! This justice must be sought! Otherwise in the Niu family in the future, can you still have a way to live? Unable to lift your head for a lifetime!"

Sun Yuguang was made even more at a loss by the two, for a moment not knowing what to do.

"Cousin, I know you're afraid. But our Old Chai family's daughter, can't be bullied like this! Rest assured, I have me, Second Uncle, and my father! My father has already gone to the Police Station to file a case! This matter, we'll definitely handle it!"

"What?!" Sun Shengyue and Sun Yuguang exclaimed at the same time, Sun Shengyue's face instantly lost all color, terrified: "Already filed a case?! Who let Great Uncle go?! Cannot report! Chai Mi! Quickly have Great Uncle come back!"

She struggled to sit up, but weakly fell back.

Sun Yuguang also panicked, at a loss: "Aiyo! Youqing Eldest Brother... he... he... why so urgent! This hasn't been discussed yet!"

Chai Mi smiled in her heart, just liked you like this.

Chai Mi knew clearly, this Sun Yuguang just wanted to cheat money.

Whether it was his wife Chai Chunfang, or his daughter.

Even if they died, didn't matter, as long as they could cheat money.

But Chai Mi wouldn't indulge his problem: "Don't you know my father's temper? He can't stand family members being bullied! Hearing Cousin beaten like this, child gone, his lungs would explode with anger! Can't stop him! By now he's probably almost at the Police Station! Cousin, Great Aunt's Husband, don't be afraid! Reporting is right! With police upholding justice, see if that Niu fellow dares to be arrogant!"

"Right right! Eldest Brother takes action, one equals two! Now see how that Niu fellow shows off!"

Just then, a siren sound came from outside the Courtyard.

Then Chai Youqing's voice came.

"It's this family! Police Comrades, you must uphold justice for my niece!"

The air inside the room instantly froze.

Sun Shengyue trembled all over, clutching the quilt tightly, burying her face into it.

Sun Yuguang's face turned deathly white, lips trembling, looking at Chai Mi pleadingly, then despairingly at the Door.

Ruined...

Reporting ruined everything.

Chai Mi stood up, face full of gloating.

Almost laughed out loud.

"Look, my father brought Police Comrades! Cousin, Great Aunt's Husband, don't be afraid! This time, definitely can get justice for you!"
