Reporting is rewarding. Who did Sun Guizhi report?

Xia Juhua and Liu Liqun looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes. The leader of the Red Team was also looking at them, with a playful smile on his face: "Yes, there is still the account of your report that has not been settled."

How can it be a matter of settling scores? It should be a matter of making meritorious contributions. Sun Guizhi was anxious and tried to pull the sleeve of the leader of the Red Team, but was avoided with disgust. She quickly said, "Captain Xia, are you mistaken? I reported Xia Juhua. She was engaged in speculation and profiteering. You will know the truth after you arrest her and interrogate her. I did not engage in speculation and profiteering. If you want to settle a score, you should find Xia Juhua."

Sun Guizhi had seen how the Red Team interrogated people. Why did only their family members suffer? Xia Juhua should also have a taste of being beaten.

Liu Liqun couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Sun Guizhi, shut your stinky mouth."

"Captain Liu?" Sun Guizhi heard someone calling her name. She turned around and saw that it was the captain of the militia. Just as she was about to smile ingratiatingly, she saw the person standing next to Liu Liqun.

Summer chrysanthemum!

The person standing next to Liu Liqun was actually Xia Juhua. It must be that the Red Team asked the Brigade to bring her over, otherwise why would the Red Team ask them to come over as soon as Xia Juhua arrived?

Sun Guizhi thought that she had misunderstood the words of the Red Team Captain just now. What he wanted to do was to make her confront Xia Juhua!

Her eyes were shining with excitement, and she gestured to the leader of the Red Team: "Captain Xia, she is Xia Juhua. She is the one who is engaged in speculation and profiteering. If you interrogate her like you interrogate us, she will confess."

The leader of the Red Team took a step back in disdain and looked at Liu Sizhuang, who had been silent since entering the house: "Liu Sizhuang, is what your wife said true?"

Liu Sizhuang, who has always been good at hiding behind his mother and wife to gain benefits, of course also saw Xia Juhua and Liu Liqun like Sun Guizhi.

Let's not talk about the couple. His thinking was the same as Sun Guizhi's. He didn't even question why the Red Team didn't tie up Xia Juhua and let her stand there in a proper manner. Instead, he believed that Xia Juhua was also taken to the Red Team by Liu Liqun. He nodded and said, "My wife is right. Xia Juhua is a speculator. All the members of our production team know it, and many people want to learn from her."

In order to make Xia Juhua's crime more serious, Liu Sizhuang exaggerated it more than Sun Guizhi. Liu Liqun was so that he wanted to slap Liu Sizhuang. He was his brother-in-law. Instead of taking care of his widowed sister-in-law after his brother died, he reported her to absolve himself! Besides, how did angry villagers offend you?

He fell into the water and tried to pull others up, is he still a human being?!

The leader of the Red Team gave Xia Juhua a meaningful look and asked with a smile, "Captain Xia, is what they said true?"

"Captain Xia?" Liu Sizhuang and his wife couldn't understand what was going on. Why did the captain of the Red Team call Xia Juhua the captain, when he was obviously the captain Xia.

Liu Liqun was even more anxious. Xia Juhua had just become the production team leader yesterday. He heard from Li Changshun that she seemed to be quite capable when he returned to the brigade headquarters today. He couldn't let these two inhuman things report her. He forced a smile at the leader of the Red Team: "Captain Xia, is this..."

"No, let Captain Xia speak." The captain of the Red Team waved his hands at Liu Liqun, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Juhua, insisting that Xia Juhua speak.

Xia Juhua's smile was not as forced as Liu Liqun's, and she still spoke in a soft voice: "Captain Xia, I guess when Sun Guizhi said that I was engaged in speculation, she was referring to the fact that I fried peanuts for the supply and marketing cooperative, right?" No wonder the Red Team said that someone had reported them as soon as they entered the door yesterday. They thought they were just trying to scare them, but it turned out that there really was someone who reported them.

The person who reported it seemed to be shooting himself in the foot.

Liu Sizhuang and his wife were dumbfounded. If everything had been explained clearly yesterday, why didn't the Red Team tell them, making them look like a fool in front of Liu Liqun, the brigade cadre?

Sun Guizhi was not someone who was willing to admit defeat. She shouted to the leader of the Red Team anxiously, "Captain Xia, don't be fooled by her. She has been engaged in speculation and profiteering for many years. How could a widow with two children live such a good life?"

Liu Liqun wanted to cover Sun Guizhi's mouth. Even if he couldn't cover it in front of the Red Team, he had to minimize the impact of her words: "What nonsense are you talking about. well, then what other family can live well?!"

"Haha," the leader of the Red Team sneered twice, and finally moved his eyes away from Xia Juhua, whose expression had not changed since entering the room, and turned to look at Liu Sizhuang and his wife: "I said that you two are not honest. One of you cut open your own brother's head, and the other slandered your own sister-in-law."

"That's called a broken pot with a rotten lid." A member of the Red Team said something clever, but the captain looked at him and he shut up. However, another member laughed out loud, not caring at all about the Red Team captain's dissatisfied look.

Liu Sizhuang and Sun Guizhi were stunned: "Captain Xia, we didn't lie, she was just speculating. By the way, this Liu Liqun used to have a good relationship with my eldest brother, and he has always been on Xia Juhua's side. He must be protecting Xia Juhua, you can't be fooled by them."

"You two!" Liu Liqun's temper could no longer be suppressed. As an old soldier who had participated in the Korean War, it was already frustrating for him to come to the commune and smile at a little kid. It would be strange if he didn't explode when he heard Liu Sizhuang and his wife spitting shit at him:

"I knew you two were no good, but I didn't expect you to be so bad. Captain Xia, I think you two haven't realized your mistakes yet. You should let them continue to study hard in the training class, and after they have truly transformed their thoughts, you can bring them back to the production team to supervise labor."

The leader of the Red Team tilted his mouth and smiled again: "Captain Liu, this is different from your usual style. In the past, when someone from your team went to the training class, didn't you always think of ways to bring them back early? Why are you so supportive of our work today?"

Liu Liqun said righteously: "The members who attended the study class before were able to deeply recognize their own problems subjectively, so I wanted to take them back as soon as possible to transform their souls through labor. But Liu Sizhuang and his wife did not transform their thoughts subjectively, and only wanted to drag revolutionary members into the water. They should be taught by the Red Team how to explode the revolution from the depths of their souls."

The leader of the Red Team was very satisfied with Liu Liqun's answer, and then looked at Xia Juhua: "Captain Xia, what do you think? After all, they are your brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Do you want to speak up for them?"

When Liu Sizhuang was arrested and sent to the Red Team, Liu Erzhuang followed him. Xia Juhua didn't believe that he didn't plead for mercy. But did pleading work? The two were still detained in the Red Team for three or four days.

So Xia Juhua just shook her head and said: "I am determined to draw a clear line between myself and the bad elements who framed the revolutionary members."

Why not draw a clear line? The couple was not obedient even after being locked up in the study class. If the people from the supply and marketing cooperative had not arrived in time yesterday, Xia Juhua would have had a place in the study class. Seeing Liu Sizhuang and his wife stay in the Red Team study class for a few more days, Xia Juhua did not think she was cruel.

If possible, she hoped that the couple could stay together in the Red Team's study class for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, when they returned to Ping'an Village, she, as the production team leader, would have to deal with them.

"Yes. No wonder Captain Xia can become the production captain of Pingan Village. His ideological awareness is very advanced." The Red Team Leader said seriously: "Then our Red Team will continue to help you educate them for two more days, but your production team must deliver their rations."

Liu Liqun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to Old Liu's house to deliver food for them. Captain Xia, how many days do you think is appropriate?"

"Auntie." Liu Zhiliang, who had been standing there blankly since entering the house, suddenly called Xia Juhua and knelt down in front of her: "Auntie, please take Hongjuan and me back home. It's too cold this night and we can't eat. If we continue to be educated, Hongjuan and I will starve to death."

Hearing her brother pleading with Xia Juhua, Liu Hongjuan finally turned her eyes away. She glanced at Xia Juhua and then looked at her brother again, her face still with a dull expression.

Xia Juhua really covered Liu Zhiliang's mouth this time. What truth was he telling? He dared to say in front of the Red Team that they were going to starve to death. He didn't want to go back with them.

Didn't you hear Liu Liqun just say that he was only sending food for two people? That was actually a keepsake to create an opportunity for bringing the two of them back to the production team.

Although the leader of the Red Team was young, he was very obedient: "Captain Liu, how can you only send food for two people? There are clearly four people studying here."

Before Xia Juhua let go of Liu Zhiliang's mouth, she looked at him deeply. Liu Zhiliang shuddered and dared not say a word. Xia Juhua then stood up and looked at the leader of the Red Team and said:

"Captain Xia, I will have someone deliver the food for these two children while they study here for three days along with Liu Sizhuang and his wife."

Sun Guizhi couldn't stand seeing Xia Juhua doing well, and always wanted to step on her to be happy. Unexpectedly, she failed to step on her, and she could have returned to the production team but ended up staying in the study class. Her son even knelt down to Xia Juhua, and Xia Juhua covered his mouth to prevent him from speaking. Sun Guizhi jumped up:

"No, why don't you arrest the speculators and let me, the informant, continue to study? You, the leader of the Red Team, are unreasonable and unfair. I will report you."

This is not the way to commit suicide. Xia Juhua looked at Sun Guizhi with awe as she tried to be reasonable and fair in front of the Red Team and even threatened to report someone. She lowered her head again.

The leader of the Red Team curled his lips and nodded to his team members. One of them came up behind Sun Guizhi and kicked her in the crotch. Sun Guizhi fell to her knees with a thud.

"Captain Xia," Xia Juhua said helplessly, "Sun Guizhi has always been a talkative person. She says whatever she thinks..."

Sun Guizhi: Do you want to persuade or to shed some eye drops?

The leader of the Red Team did not refute Xia Juhua's words, which was rare. Instead, he said to Liu Liqun: "Captain Liu, I don't need to tell you how arrogant this woman is. So it's not that I don't give face to the Ping'an Village Brigade, but we don't educate such people well here. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for them to recognize their mistakes when they return to the production team. Liu Sizhuang and his wife will have to study here for at least half a month or twenty days. You can come and pick them up then."

Liu Liqun was almost annoyed to death by Sun Guizhi, and he just nodded and said nothing else. Liu Sizhuang didn't know what he heard, but he said with a glimmer of hope: "I didn't say that first, it was Sun Guizhi who made me say that. She has always had conflicts with my sister-in-law. I can't stay in the study class with her, a slanderer. Captain Xia, can I go back with my sister-in-law and the others?"

In order to return to Ping'an Village, Liu Sizhuang lied without blinking an eye, and hoped that others were as forgetful as him and would not remember that the crime he had just accused Xia Juhua was even worse than that of Sun Guizhi.

Without the captain's signal, another member of the Red Team followed suit and kicked Liu Sizhuang to his knees, cursing, "Neither of you two are good people."

The room finally quieted down for a while, and Liu Liqun took the opportunity to say, "Captain Xia, we will go back first, and we will bring them food tomorrow. These two children will not learn anything good with such parents, so we should take them back and let them grow up through labor."

Without saying anything, Liu Liqun signaled Xia Juhua to go out with him. Xia Juhua held a child in each hand and closed the door for the others before she heaving a sigh of relief. There were continuous screams from the house, and someone cursed: "Damn it, you dare to say I'm unreasonable, I'll tell you."

Xia Juhua felt her hand holding Liu Zhiliang tighten. When she looked sideways, Liu Zhiliang was looking back at the door, his eyes full of hatred.

"Let's go home first." What's the use of hatred? In her previous life, Xia Juhua sometimes hated Sun and Liu Sizhuang so much. Did they delay their eating and drinking?

Liu Zhiliang seemed to know that he could not do anything except go back to Ping'an Village with Xia Juhua, so he followed without saying a word. After leaving the commune yard, Liu Hongjuan, who had been in a daze, stopped, her face tightly furrowed, and she stared at Xia Juhua and asked:

"Auntie, my parents are your brother-in-law and sister-in-law. How could you be so cruel and not say a word for them?"

Xia Juhua let go of the two people's hands, looked at Liu Zhiliang and Liu Hongjuan seriously, and then asked: "They framed me for speculation. If it weren't for the Red Team leader's keen observation, I would have to stay in the Red Team now. Think about it, why should I speak for them?"

Eight-year-old Liu Hongjuan said stubbornly: "But you are my parents' sister-in-law, you should take care of them."

"Have your parents taken care of you these days?" Xia Juhua had already started walking forward - it was getting late, and it would be dark by the time they walked from the commune to Ping'an Village. She didn't have time to discuss the principle of wining hearts with the brother and sister.

Knowing that it was impossible to explain, she decided to save her energy. Xia Juhua never expected to be grateful to the brother and sister. Seeing Xia Juhua leave as soon as she said she would, Liu Zhiliang and his sister looked at the yard where their parents were still locked up, as if they didn't know whether to stay or follow.

Liu Liqun just looked at them, thinking that the old saying was still true: like dragons, like phoenixes, but the son of mice can only dig holes in the ground.

"Captain Liu, don't you care about my parents anymore?" Liu Hongjuan seemed to talk more than her brother, making people wonder why it was Liu Zhiliang instead of her who asked Xia Juhua to take him back to Ping'anzhuang in the house.

Liu Liqun didn't want to understand either, he shook his head and said: "Your parents hurt someone, and they were not honest in class and slandered your aunt. No one can control them." After saying that, he looked at the brother and sister again, and like Xia Juhua, he left for the first time.

Liu Zhiliang bit his lower lip, took Liu Hongjuan's hand and followed Liu Liqun. Xia Juhua heard the footsteps behind her, but she didn't turn around or slow down, and walked a little faster.

She was really hungry and wanted to go home and have a bowl of hot porridge.

But when Liu Hongjuan reached the hotel entrance, she held onto Liu Zhiliang and kept silent, saying, "Brother, I'm hungry."

Liu Liqun frowned and turned around to look at the brother and sister, then looked at Xia Juhua who had already walked a few steps, and couldn't help but say: "If you are hungry, just walk a few steps faster. When you get home, your grandma will have prepared dinner for you."

"Hoo, hoo, hoo, Captain Liu, I want to walk faster too, but my brother and I have only eaten one cookie a day in the past two days at the training camp. We are so hungry that we can't even walk."

You really know how to pick a place where you can't move. When Liu Liqun looked at Xia Juhua again, he found that she had stopped. She turned around and asked the brother and sister: "How about I take you back to the study class first, eat a cake and stay there for one night, and then ask the person who brings food to your parents to pick you up tomorrow?"

Liu Hongjuan was angry: "How can you be so cruel? I am still your niece. You didn't even buy me something to eat when I couldn't walk. My sister Hongmei said that you bought several big meat buns at the hotel last time. They were so delicious." After saying that, she started to cry again.

Liu Zhiliang ran to Xia Juhua again and was about to kneel down when Xia Juhua, who was already prepared, pulled him back and said to him, "Liu Zhiliang, I won't tell you the old saying that a man's knees are worth gold, because you have a father with weak knees and you won't understand."

"I'm only telling you, if you really kneel down, I'll send you back to class to kneel before the Red Team, so that your grandma won't accuse me of bullying her precious grandson after we return to Ping An Village."

Liu Zhiliang's body froze, and Liu Hongjuan was dumbfounded. She had imitated her mother and grandmother in seizing the opportunity first and then crying and selling out, but why didn't Xia Juhua take the bait at all?

Liu Liqun had already walked up to the two of them with Liu Hongjuan and said to Xia Juhua, "Let's go." Xia Juhua once again walked away without looking back. This time, the brother and sister did not make any more trouble and followed Liu Liqun obediently. From their eyes that looked at Xia Juhua's back from time to time, it was not difficult to see emotions such as anger and hatred, but did Xia Juhua feel it?

Xia Juhua said that she was too thick-skinned to feel it. It was not until she knocked on the gate of Old Liu's house that Xia Juhua's face changed. In the darker sky, no one saw it either.

Liu Erzhuang opened the door and saw Xia Juhua and Liu Liqun. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Sister-in-law, you didn't go to the channel when we finished work. Our production team finished faster than Xiaozhuangtou, and the team leader praised us."

"Second Master." When Liu Hongjuan heard that Liu Erzhuang actually spoke to Xia Juhua first, she called out with some dissatisfaction and poked her head out from behind Liu Liqun.

"Zhiliang, Hongjuan, you are back. Where are your parents?" Liu Erzhuang saw his nephew and niece appear, looked behind Liu Liqun, and did not see Liu Sizhuang and his wife, so he asked.

Liu Hongjuan burst into tears: "Oh, oh, oh, Second Grandpa, my parents are still in class. Originally, the Red Squad asked Aunt to take us home today, but Aunt said that my parents framed her and asked the Red Squad to keep them in prison for another 20 days. Second Grandpa, please go to the Red Squad and plead with my parents to let them come back."

Xia Juhua knew how crooked Liu Hongjuan was in her previous life, and Liu Erzhuang, who lived with Liu Hongjuan day and night, were not surprised. However, Liu Liqun was shocked and staggered - this girl was too good at confusing right and wrong. The tone and accent of her speech actually had the shadows of both Sun and Sun Guizhi.

"Xia Juhua, you are such a loser. I knew that it would be bad luck to let you become the production team leader. Thanks to you for pretending that you knew it was not easy for me and came to see me. I thought you were finally a little human. Is that how you know it is not easy for me?" Sun Shi had arrived at the gate of the courtyard at some point. After hearing what Liu Hongjuan said, she exploded and started scolding Xia Juhua.

Xia Juhua acted as if she hadn't heard Sun's curses and continued to speak to Liu Erzhuang calmly, "Because Sun Guizhi slandered me and Liu Sizhuang gave false testimony for her, the two of them have to study in the class for another 20 days."

"The Red Team won't provide them with food for free. Your family will have to deliver their rations to the Red Team tomorrow, plus the rations that the four of them ate in the Red Team for the past three days."

Sun, who had been cursing all the time, miraculously heard everything Xia Juhua said and jumped three feet high: "We have no food at home. They arrested people and still don't provide us with food. It's unreasonable. If they don't want to provide us with food, then let Si Zhuang and his wife come back." If they didn't come back, she would always feel uneasy, wondering if the money that Liu Si Zhuang took away was still there.

"Okay." Xia Juhua nodded happily: "Then you can go and talk to the Red Team tomorrow."

Is this still the Xia Juhua who never fought back when scolded? Sun looked at the familiar person in front of her suspiciously. She felt that she could no longer understand Xia Juhua since the last time Xia Juhua came to see her.

Liu Liqun thought what Xia Juhua said made sense, and said to Sun: "Xia Juhua is right. If you have the ability, don't send food. See if the Red Team dares to starve them to death."

It would be strange if they didn't dare. Anyone who entered the Red Team would be punished. Sun didn't dare to gamble, so she just slapped her thighs and sat on the ground and howled, saying that Xia Juhua was the production team leader and couldn't just watch the members being locked up in the Red Team. She also said that she had no food at home because it was all taken away by Liu Erzhuang and An Baoling, two ruthless people, and she couldn't get any food.

Finally, Sun came up with a bizarre idea and said that Liu Sizhuang was a member of the production team, and that the couple were imprisoned in the Red Team's study class, and that the production team should provide them with food. If the production team did not provide it, it would be indifferent to the lives of its members and would be acting without help.

The old woman is going to go to the brigade to sue Xia Juhua so that she won't be able to be the production team leader!
