Chapter 1014: A tyrannical Grandma Sun shows up

The village chief heard their conversation and asked curiously:

"So these pigs are descended from wild boars. Where did you get the wild boars from?"

Qiao Liancheng did not frown at him, and said calmly:

"This is a breed we got from wild boars in the mountains and crossed with domestic pigs."

"They were specially trained by our troops and were sent to the Western Military Region as a friendly exchange."

"Of course, the Western Military District is ready to try out the important role of wild boars in war!"

"This can be considered an experimental project for the military!"

"But your people robbed the car and took away all the pigs. Do you know how valuable these pigs are?"

"This is not just because they are pigs, but also because of their great research value."

The village chief's face turned even paler when he heard this.

At this moment, other little pigs rushed out of the village one after another.

Some came through the fence gate, and some were so anxious that they simply jumped over the wall.

Although this little thing doesn't look big, it has a very strong jumping ability.

I watched them, each chubby and plump, grunt twice and then fly out from the high wall, with their four little hooves clenched tightly.

That serious little look is just too cute!

Even though the people present knew that these little pigs were very powerful, they still couldn't help but feel itchy when they saw this scene.

I wanted to rush over, grab the piglet and rub it hard.

The village chief looked at these little pigs with extremely fiery eyes.

Qiao Liancheng did a preliminary count and found that all the twenty-eight piglets he had brought out had returned.

See the number is right.

Qiao Liancheng glanced at the village chief coldly: "What else do you have to say, these pigs are my evidence!"

The village chief's face darkened with depression. He coughed lightly, turned around and yelled at the village accountant:

"Go to the village office and broadcast, asking everyone who participated in stealing the pigs last night to come out!"

The accountant agreed and turned to do it.

Just at this moment, the door of a house opened and an old woman rushed out.

The old woman looked to be in her eighties, with wrinkles all over her face and white hair.

She walked tremblingly in front of the crowd, and when she saw the little pigs, she sat down on the ground.

"Oh, what a sin! How dare you steal my pigs?"

"Where are you going to take my pigs?"

"Everyone, come and see! The government has snatched the pigs!"

"I am an old lady in my eighties. I finally bought a pig, but you took it away from me in less than three days!"

"Oh my God, do you still have justice?"

Although the old woman walked unsteadily, she was full of energy when she cried and cursed, and her voice was so loud that everyone in the village could hear it.

The village chief was originally regretful that he couldn't catch such a good piglet, but when he saw the old woman coming out, his eyes turned and he immediately perked up.

"Grandma Sun, why did you come out?"

"Don't cry, you are the mother of an old Red Army soldier, you can't cry!"

"Oh don't worry, no one will steal your pig!"

The village chief stepped forward to comfort him, and Qiao Liancheng looked at Liu Dagang suspiciously.

Liu Dagang smiled bitterly: "This village originally produced many veterans of the Red Army. This Granny Sun is the mother of an old Red Army soldier. She is 87 years old this year."

"The old man is old and his brain doesn't work very well, so he is very unreasonable!"

Qiao Liancheng narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

The village chief persuaded the man to go back, and when he came back he said to Liu Dagang:

"Minister, I just asked, and it was her great-grandson who brought back a piglet last night and said he bought it for her!"

"The old lady loved it and slept in my arms all night!"

"Just now when you called out, the piglet ran out. Granny Sun got so angry that she came out to ask for it!"

After a pause, he looked at Minister Liu's ugly face and continued:

"I just explained it to her, but she was stubborn and refused to listen. She insisted that this was the pig her family had bought, and she refused to return the piglet no matter what!"

"Look, why don't you take all the other pigs and keep this one? We'll buy it!"

Minister Liu glanced at him coldly and immediately saw what he was thinking.

He snorted and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Ask Captain Qiao!"

The village chief then looked at Qiao Liancheng in a flattering manner again.

Qiao Liancheng replied coldly: "No!"

"If this were an ordinary domestic pig, I would have sold it to you."

"But these are carefully cultivated, numbered and used for research."

"These are the property of the army and are to be given to the Western Military District. I can't sell them!"

Minister Liu spread his hands towards the village chief: "You heard it all, there's nothing we can do!"

The village chief had a sad face and turned around to ask someone to tell Grandma Sun.

Qiao Liancheng glanced at him again and tugged at Minister Liu's sleeve.

Minister Liu and he walked aside, and Qiao Liancheng asked:

"What's going on with this village? It feels like there's a big conflict with our troops!"

"I always feel like something is wrong!"

Minister Liu sighed, "To be honest, there is something wrong with this village chief. People from our armed forces and public security departments have to come over to confront him every three or two months!"

"We are getting old and in pain ourselves!"

After Minister Liu said this, Qiao Liancheng finally had a general idea of ​​the situation.

Zaozhuang is actually just a representative. What gives Minister Liu a headache is not just Zaozhuang, but more than a dozen villages including Zaozhuang.

Because this place is relatively poor, the quality of the people here is not very high.

It was okay before the reform and opening up, because this place had a planned economy and a big pot system.

Let the people live a decent life.

But after the reform, this area has been suffering from drought all year round, and the key is that the quality of groundwater is not very good.

This resulted in very low grain harvests for the entire village, and with the planned economy gone, life became difficult for the people.

Originally, there were more than a dozen villages that all looked the same, so it wasn't too bad.

But in the past five years, after the people of these villages went out to work, they discovered the gap between here and the villages outside.

Gradually, the young people in the village didn't like to come back after leaving.

Those who go out never come back, and those who don’t go out can’t get married.

In desperation, a large number of young people still buy wives.

I don’t know since when, buying a wife has become a major problem in this village.

At first, they used the method of paying a betrothal gift to cover it up, but later it became an open transaction.

As a result, human traffickers are particularly active in this generation.

"Some lesbians come from ordinary families. Even if they are sold here, their families can't find them. But they can still get by!"

"But it's a little different. If a family member is missing, how can the parents agree? So they came all the way to look for him."

"The villagers spent money to buy a wife. The money they spent was earned by several generations of the family working hard together. They might even have to sell their house and land. Once they buy a wife, how can they let her go easily?"

“Hence, the previous confrontation took place!”
