Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Lin Aijun, bringing Xiao Hua along, arrived at the next poor household in Shanwei Village.
This poor household, a family of three, all had intellectual disabilities.
The male head of this poor household was named Zhao Congming; his name was Zhao Congming, yet he was a patient with congenital intellectual disability.
When his parents were still alive, they selected his current wife for him.
His wife's name was Wang Xiudi.
She was also a patient with congenital intellectual disability.
But this was normal too; if Wang Xiudi didn't have an intellectual disability, she would never have married a fool as a wife.
As expected, without accident, fool and fool combined, and the child born was still a fool.
Their son was named Zhao Duozhi.
It was when Zhao Congming's parents were still alive that they invited a fortune teller to help name him.
The fortune teller said, as long as they gave him this name, the child might recover his intelligence.
In the end, Zhao Congming's parents, the old couple, passed away one after another, and Zhao Duozhi didn't become intelligent either.
Zhao Duozhi is already 10 years old now; once someone asked him how much 2 plus 3 equals, he fiddled with his fingers for a good long while but couldn't figure out the answer; a cow happened to pass by beside him, and his attention was immediately diverted; he asked, "Where did the cow come from?" and then forgot the question of how much 2 plus 3 equals.
After Zhao Duozhi's grandfather and grandmother passed away, only Zhao Congming, Wang Xiudi, and Zhao Duozhi were left, a family of three, all three fools.
This is simply a hellish family!
The most fatal thing is, Wang Aidi is pregnant again right now!
Who knows who will take care of the child born!
And the second child policy is already open now.
They can't be forced to go have an abortion either!
Even for an abortion, family member consent is required.
Her family member is only Zhao Congming; Zhao Congming may be a fool, but regarding abortion, he would rather be beaten to death than agree.
He just laughs foolishly and says, maybe the one born will be normal.
But if the one born is normal, for this child, that would simply be a catastrophic start.
Lin Aijun, bringing Xiao Hua, arrived at Zhao Congming's home, only to see it filthy and messy to an extreme, just like a dog kennel.
But this can't be blamed on them; a family of three are all fools, being able to survive is already not easy.
"Zhao Congming, where's the poverty alleviation pig we gave you last time?"
Lin Aijun came to a pigsty beside the house, discovered there was absolutely no poverty alleviation pig raised inside; instead, their son Zhao Duozhi was locked in this pigsty, raised like a pig.
When Lin Aijun and Xiao Hua came over to inspect, Zhao Duozhi was still foolishly laughing, picking up pig feces from the ground to eat.
Watching this made Lin Aijun and Xiao Hua's scalps go numb.
Zhao Congming laughed foolishly, speaking in a stammering, awkward tone:
"Sold, sold it, lots of money, eat, eat instant noodles."
Lin Aijun frowned tightly:
"Who did you sell the pig to? How much did you sell it for?"
Zhao Congming answered honestly:
"Zhao Futian, he gave me..."
Zhao Congming counted on his fingers:
"One pack of instant noodles, one ham sausage, three bills."
Zhao Congming took out the money:
"He, he said, this, hundred yuan bill, you look, is it?"
Lin Aijun took one look and immediately flew into a rage.
What hundred yuan bill is this?
These are clearly three one-yuan bills!
Even this could deceive Zhao Congming.
Truly worthy of being a big "Congming" (clever one)!
But what Lin Aijun was angry about wasn't Zhao Congming being swindled; she was angry that Zhao Congming was actually swindled by Zhao Futian!
This guy Zhao Futian, he himself is a poor household, and between him and Zhao Congming, not mutually supporting each other would be one thing, but he actually came to swindle this fool Zhao Congming!
Simply hateful to the extreme!
Lin Aijun, unable to swallow her anger, said:
"You wait here, I'll go help you get justice!"
But Zhao Congming stopped her:
"Don't, Zhao Futian, pretty good, the ham sausage he gave, my wife, likes to eat."
Lin Aijun then asked:
"What ham sausage did he give your wife? Be careful she doesn't get sick from eating it; your wife is pregnant, if she ate expired products, or inferior products, miscarriage is possible!"
Zhao Congming laughed foolishly:
"Don't know, just from his body, he did like this, then, gave, gave Aidi, mouth."
Lin Aijun immediately understood, her face turning pale with shock.
"That damn Zhao Futian, how could he do such a thing!"
Lin Aijun was so angry she was fuming, wishing she could turn back and kick Zhao Futian to death!
But Xiao Hua held her back:
"Don't go confront him while emotional, that won't work, it'll only escalate the conflict."
Lin Aijun was furious beyond measure:
"Are we just supposed to let Zhao Futian bully Zhao Congming's wife like this? No, I have to report it to the police!"
But Xiao Hua said:
"What good will reporting to the police do? Zhao Futian will definitely deny it. Zhao Congming is a fool, his testimony won't count. And his wife Wang Xiudi, one ask and she'll likely know nothing."
Lin Aijun also knew reporting to the police was useless, but she still couldn't swallow her anger:
"I can't let this go. I have to go back and get to the bottom of this!"
Lin Aijun stormed back to Zhao Futian's home in a huff, and Xiao Hua couldn't hold her back.
"Zhao Futian, get out here!"
Zhao Futian was lying at home at this time. Seeing Lin Aijun come back, his face was full of smiles, revealing foul yellow teeth.
"Miss, what brings you back? Come to be my wife?"
Lin Aijun ignored his teasing and just asked coldly:
"The Poverty Alleviation Pig from Zhao Congming's family, was it you who swindled it away?"
But Zhao Futian quibbled:
"How can that count as swindling? I paid money for it, and both Zhao Congming and Wang Xiudi, the couple, agreed. Why do you have such a big opinion?"
Lin Aijun asked coldly:
"Can your three yuan even count as money? Where did you put their Poverty Alleviation Pig? Give it back to them right now!"
But Zhao Futian said:
"I'm afraid that can't be done. I already took it to Town and sold it, then bought ten jin of Banquet and two jin of roast meat. If you insist I produce the Poverty Alleviation Pig, why don't you just arrest me and let me squat a few days at the Town Police Station? That'll improve my meals too."
Zhao Futian's words left Lin Aijun and Xiao Hua speechless for a moment.
For a bachelor like Zhao Futian, there's really no way to deal with him!
You could even say he's invincible!
If you say arrest him for detention, he'd be overjoyed, saying going in to improve his meals is pretty good too!
And what he says isn't false.
At home he eats the upper meal but not the lower; in the detention center the food may be bad, but three meals a day arrive on the dot!
He doesn't feel suffering going in, he feels like he's going in to celebrate the Spring Festival.
What can you do to him?
Lin Aijun knew the Poverty Alleviation Pig definitely couldn't be chased back.
So she stopped dwelling on this issue and instead asked:
"Zhao Congming said you gave his wife ham sausage to eat. What ham sausage did you give his wife?"
Zhao Futian laughed shamelessly:
"Anyway it's tasty ham sausage. What business is it of yours what ham sausage I gave her? As long as it didn't kill anyone it's fine. And Wang Xiudi likes eating it too. Is it any of your business?"
Lin Aijun was angered half to death:
"Zhao Futian, I warn you. If you dare mess around with Wang Xiudi, that's a crime. You'll be arrested and jailed!"
But Zhao Futian just spread his hands:
"Jail then. I'll say it again, going in to improve my meals is pretty good too. If you want me jailed, trouble yourself to notify me in advance. Before I go to jail, I have to slaughter my dog. Dog meat is fragrant. You want to eat together?"
As Zhao Futian spoke, he changed the subject.
Grinning hehe.
Lin Aijun simply had no way to handle him.
In the end she could only leave with a belly full of anger.
