This year’s work points were higher than in previous years.
In the past, every time the original Host received her share of two-plus pounds of pork, Li Chunlan would snatch it away the moment it touched her hands, claiming it was for the Host and her younger brother to show filial piety to their grandmother. If the Host refused, she was branded unfilial. While their grandmother was alive, the weight of that "filial piety" had left the two siblings struggling to breathe.
Last year, after their grandmother passed away, Li Chunlan had tried to snatch the pork again when the Host went to collect it, this time demanding she show filial piety to her uncle and aunt. That time, the Host refused to give it up, no matter what. Furious and dissatisfied, Li Chunlan snatched the pork, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it several times. Because the brigade leader, Sun Jianye, favored Li Chunlan, no one in the village dared to speak up; they simply watched the spectacle.
