Chapter 151 Scary

"Li Weimin, Huang Manqing, Fu Changming, Zhu Rundong, Tang Guoqiang."

"I ask you, why did you go to the sweet potato field to steal sweet potatoes?"

The team leader looked at the educated youths who were beaten black and blue with a stern face and spoke in a serious tone.

"Captain, I was wrong. I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to steal the sweet potatoes."

"Captain, please let us go. We only stole once."

"Yes, Captain, we stole the sweet potatoes because we couldn't make ends meet. Please forgive us this time!"

…

Hearing the captain's questions, Li Weimin and his companions admitted their mistakes sincerely without thinking twice.

This time they were caught red-handed and there was no way they could make excuses. The only way they had to hope was to admit their mistakes and pretend to be pitiful.

"Who among you is the mastermind?" The captain ignored their pretending to be pitiful and asked.

"It's Li Weimin and Huang Manqing. They are the ones looking for us." Several of the educated youth said hurriedly.

As if speaking faster would allow you to be forgiven.

"You..." Li Weimin looked at the other educated youth in disbelief, with anger of betrayal on his face.

If he hadn't seen how starving and pitiful they were, he wouldn't have told them this method.

Now these people sold him out without hesitation. How hateful.

At this moment, if eyes could kill, Li Weimin would have cut them into pieces.

"Okay, lock them all up first, and we'll deal with the rest tomorrow." The team leader waved his hand expressionlessly, ignoring the quarrel between the educated youths.

After the guards took all the educated youth away, the team leader looked at the villagers.

"See? This is the consequence of stealing. I won't say anything more. Everyone must remember this lesson and be a good person. Don't think about stealing all the time."

"Tomorrow we will send these thieves to the county police station, and they will punish them. I believe the police station will handle the matter fairly."

This time he was not returned to the Youth League Office, but was sent directly to the police station. As for what would happen to him after he went in, Zhou Ziwen didn't know.

But what he knew was that the ending would definitely not be good.

"Remember this lesson today. It's also a reminder for everyone: don't do things you shouldn't do, and don't make mistakes you shouldn't make."

"Grain is the property of the production team and the collective, not any one person. Stealing has seriously damaged the image of our Dabazi Village."

"Especially for the educated youth who came to the countryside since the establishment of the production team, since you have come to the countryside, you are now part of the production team. You must be self-disciplined, self-reliant and conscientious, and do not do anything that will damage the image of the production team."

Wu Dagang stood next to the team leader. His usual casual look was gone and his tone was very serious.

When he spoke, he was pointing directly at all the educated youth present.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the educated youth present turned unhappy.

Some even lowered their heads with expressions of shame on their faces.

Although they were not the ones who stole the things, as fellow educated youth, they felt ashamed when someone made a mistake out of their self-esteem.

The expressions of several village cadres were not very good either.

There are thieves in the village, and they are also responsible for poor management. I believe that the next time they go to the county for a meeting, they will be criticized by name.

This criticism meeting lasted for more than an hour.

The mental pressure and physical fatigue make people feel that each day is a year long.

Zhou Ziwen was fine, but the Chen sisters felt like their bodies were no longer their own.

On the way back, everyone was in a bad mood, especially the people from the Youth League Institute, because the people who committed crimes today were all their roommates!

Although some of them don’t have a very good relationship with them, they see each other every day. Now that something has happened, everyone is feeling bad.

After all, this matter did not seem big to them. Some of them had even done it, but they had not been caught.

This guy is so hungry that he can do anything.

After all, these educated youth were from outside the village, and their treatment was always inferior to that of the villagers.

They had always lived in the city and had never done farm work. It was considered that they had perseverance that they could stick to the production team.

They were only sixteen or seventeen years old when they went to the countryside. In their previous lives, they would still be children.

"Alright, everyone, hurry back and get some rest. It's getting late and we have to go to work tomorrow."

When they arrived at the door of their house, Zhou Ziwen said to the Chen sisters and Zhou Chaoyang.

"Well, you should go to bed early too." Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen reluctantly.

Seeing what happened to Li Weimin and the others, Chen Qiaoyi was a little scared and wanted to find someone to rely on.

"Be good, go back and have a good sleep. You can call me if you need anything." Zhou Ziwen rubbed her head and spoke to comfort her.

In fact, he also wanted to accompany her, but the reality did not allow it!

Not to mention what others think, even if he is willing, what will Chen Shiying do?

He finally realized that his sister-in-law was a little scared and was just trying to hold on.

If he took Yiyi away, I'm afraid his sister-in-law wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

Shen Zhaodi on the side looked at Chen Qiaoyi with envy, and she didn't even bother to joke at this moment.

If there is a man who cares about her so much, she would be willing!

…

That night, no one slept well, even Zhou Ziwen, who was usually carefree, had trouble sleeping.

It’s not because of anything else, but mainly because I’m worried about the two sisters of the Chen family.

After all, she is a girl and not as brave as him. She must be a little scared after what happened today.

The main reason was that Li Weimin and his men were beaten so badly that their bruised faces and noses looked a little scary.

Of course, part of the reason was that I was scared by the villagers.

They probably had never seen the usually friendly villagers being so ferocious.

It was such a scary scene, it was a good thing that they didn't have nightmares.

When they woke up the next day, the two Chen sisters looked obviously tired and had dark circles around their eyes.

Fortunately, the two sisters are naturally beautiful, so it doesn't have much impact.

"Brother Ziwen, I felt like I was dreaming last night. Why did the village punish me so severely for just stealing a few sweet potatoes?" Chen Qiaoyi was still a little frightened during breakfast.

"The villagers must value food very much. They have suffered from a lack of food. I heard that when there was no food before, all the wild vegetables in the mountains were eaten up, and they were forced to move into the mountains. Several people even died!" Zhou Ziwen explained.

He was well-informed. When he was working, he liked to chat with the old men in the village and heard a lot of news.

In this age of material scarcity, food is very important, both in the countryside and in the city.

"This is too scary." Chen Qiaoyi patted her chest. What happened yesterday really scared her.

"It's okay, as long as we work peacefully, there will be no problem." Zhou Ziwen comforted.

The production team would not punish them for no reason, and they did not want anything to happen to them.

After all, the educated youth came to the countryside to support construction and help them with work, so if anything goes wrong, they will also be held responsible.
