Chapter 238: Working together to rectify Majiagou

Secretary Yun's words had a slightly sarcastic tone, and coupled with his expression, the effect was quite strange, but the three of them were happy and regained their enthusiasm for him.

Yun Weiran smacked his lips, absolutely certain that these three were here to cause trouble.

Just do it.

But before doing anything, we must first let them know ourselves and our enemies.

He detailed the situation in Majiagou: internal unity, external exclusion, and the selfishness and evil of human nature. If he followed his innermost thoughts, he would have simply abandoned the entire brigade. The newborn baby could be rescued, and everyone else could be surrounded until they ran out of ammunition and food.

But it is obvious that in this new society, he is not allowed to do so.

Since the crackdown on Majiagou, not only has the entire brigade leadership been replaced, but several individuals have also been arrested. While there have certainly been some results, they are not entirely satisfactory. This is a deeply ingrained form of backwardness, and changing it will require a long-term commitment.

He found a new entry point this year, which is to persuade people to divorce. He has broken up several families. The wives of those families were all "bought" by them with money. They said to others that they hired girls from other brigades, but in essence, they bought them from those bad parents with money.

No matter how nicely they speak, it cannot cover up their nature of human trafficking.

He would try his best to persuade those trafficked female comrades to get out of the quagmire and build a new home outside. The government would build houses for them, guarantee their basic living, and help them with their future development.

The newly built residential area has 24-hour security patrols to ensure that those "human traffickers" cannot come to harass people. Half of the people who have moved out in batches are divorced women.

As for whether they would go to the parents who sold their daughters to compensate for their losses of money and people, that was none of his business. Anyone who dared to come to him would be arrested.

Ever since he arrived here, the People's Armed Forces Department and the militia have been very busy.

After the introduction, Yun Weiran asked Liu Chengjun and the other two, "You guys want to go to a place like this?"

"go!"

The three people said in unison.

Liu Chengjun said, "Your work is highly effective, and your approach is excellent. But in my opinion, it's still a bit too soft. Why are you trying to persuade them? If you have sufficient evidence, you can arrest all those involved in human trafficking, and the government will automatically grant divorces. Why bother trying to persuade them to divorce? Why wait until they come to you to make a fuss before arresting them? You should take the initiative! Arrest them directly!"

These people ignore the country's laws and bring discredit to the new society. They should be shot. Otherwise, they should be sent to move stones, dig mines, and do hard labor, so that they can contribute to the country throughout their lives instead of staying at home and being the boss.

Furthermore, it's not just the men who need to be arrested; the parents involved in human trafficking must also be arrested. The men's parents are the buyers, the women's parents are the sellers. Arrest them all! Arrest a few, make an example of them, and deter them. Don't be fooled by their usual arrogance; they're essentially cowards. If they had the guts, why would they sell their daughters or buy wives? They're turning their remaining power against the more vulnerable lesbians.

If all female comrades were as strong-willed as Comrade Wang Qingli from our county, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened at all."

Yun Weiran: “…”

Kong Lingyun added, "Cheng Jun wasn't saying it was the fault of the trafficked women. Of course, the fault lies with the traffickers. What she meant was that we need to continue to strengthen guidance and education for women, so that they can establish the concept of self-help and self-reliance. That way, even if they encounter problems in the future, they can save themselves, and if they can't, they can seek help from others."

Zhang Junfeng echoed, "That's right. We're not condemning the victims. We're hoping they can get better."

Yun Weiran was convinced.

Just like that, Liu Chengjun and the other two arrived at Meishan Commune and spent an hour convincing the commune's top leader. Yun Weiran immediately began to write an application report to Qushui County, requesting a thorough resolution of the problems left over from the Majiagou Brigade of Meishan Commune, arresting a group of human traffickers, rescuing a group of female comrades, and thoroughly cleaning up the social atmosphere.

Not only did they have to request the county party committee to approve this action plan, they also had to borrow regular troops from the county armed forces department to maintain social order.

Moreover, Liu Chengjun and the other two did not go to Majiagou Brigade at all, but settled down directly in the commune.

They were a bit reckless, but not completely foolish. Given the situation in Majiagou, and the fact that they were about to make a major move, it would be unwise for them to rush in headfirst. They could easily become hostages. Even if they had guns, they wouldn't be completely safe, given the enemy's sheer numbers.

Not only could they not go, but they also had to hide their identity as educated youth. Otherwise, if they caused public outrage in Meishan Commune and affected the entire educated youth community, they would be blamed for their crimes.

At least they still have the ability to protect themselves, but other educated youth may not be able to do so.

☆

Xie Yun got the news from Yun Weiran. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the county and have a chat with Secretary Li and Deputy County Mayor Zhong.

This matter is suitable for waving a big banner and covering up one's own shortcomings, and it is also suitable for setting an example across the country.

Majiagou’s actions have violated so many laws that it is just the right time to make an example of them.

When she arrived at the county, Secretary Li and Deputy County Magistrate Zhong had already begun discussing deployments. Liang Tao, the head of the county's armed forces department, was also there. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "You're well-informed. Lao Yun told you."

"No, I just happened to call him and heard about it."

"Wow! You even remembered to call him, but you couldn't remember to call us."

"It wasn't that I remembered to call him. It was the educated youth who went to our area who told me that some of them had gone to Majiagou. I was curious, so I called to ask, and he told me about it."

Xie Yun recounted what Ren Xiuzhen had said and said, "I was thinking, after all, I'm paid the salary of a deputy county chief, and the county doesn't usually need me for matters. Now that I finally know about this, I have to rush over to show my support, to show that I, Deputy County Chief Xie, still care about the county's major issues. What's our situation now?"

Secretary Li said, "Of course we approve their plan. We're currently planning specific actions. What are your thoughts?"

Xie Yun thought for a moment and said, "I'm an outsider in this area, so let me say a few words. First, we need to find out the details and obtain some evidence. Then, we must act quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately. We must apprehend the person in one fell swoop. Don't give them time to react. Tie them up and gag them. Don't give them a chance to cry or make a fuss. Comrades from the Public Security Bureau and the Court should work harder and make the charges against them clear. Don't let them feel that they are being wronged. Even if they die, they must die with a clear conscience."

Finally, we need the help of our comrades in the army. First, they need to help us when arresting people, and go out at the same time to arrest everyone, so that no one has the chance to hide or escape. Second, they need to help stabilize the local security after the operation.

After the matter is over, a propaganda team should go there to publicize the rationality and legality of the government's behavior. This is all the government's sincere concern and love for the people. Don't let people misinterpret our good intentions and cause us trouble again.

Furthermore, I think we can set an example nationwide. This kind of thing certainly happens all over the country, and there are many women who are oppressed. We need to let everyone know that this long-standing behavior is illegal and should be abolished. It doesn't justify its existence, nor does it mean that just because you're a parent you can decide the life and death of your children.

Xie Yun paused and added, "We need to form a united front on this matter and bring together everyone we can. We should contact the Women's Federation. This is a matter concerning women's rights, and the Women's Federation must speak out. Also, those three educated youth are so brave and fearless. They must not come from ordinary families. Let's find out who is behind them and ask them to contribute their efforts and their connections."

Secretary Li laughed and said, "Listen, she even said she is an outsider."

Liang Tao tugged at his crew cut and said, "Why don't you come to our armed forces department and work there?"
