Chapter 67 Zhang Guohua was arrested

Everything that happens has a reason. Zhang Guohua always thought that he was too smart. Besides, he looked good and had a silver tongue. He also had good relationships with people. No one would associate him with a thief. After all, his external persona was that of the son of the director of a large factory in the provincial capital. Why would he need to steal things to sell for money?

The people who provided clues to the farm and public security personnel in secret also had a plan. These people were Han Jianwu and his wife, Jiang Zian, and the female educated youth Zhao Linfeng from the farm.

Zhang Guohua and Yang Linke teamed up to kill Han Jianwu, but things did not go as they wished. Han Jianwu naturally knew who was trying to trip him up, and Huo Qingqing knew it too, but they really couldn't find any evidence against Zhang Guohua. The fact that he always targeted those female educated youth from well-off families couldn't be used as evidence to report him or to bring him down.

But Huo Qingqing found a loophole. She knew Zhang Guohua's situation. He was indeed the factory director's son, but the factory's performance was getting worse every year. Moreover, he had many brothers and sisters, none of them had any future. His family was very poor, and he had no money. But recently it was reported that after failing to pursue Zhao Linfeng, Zhang Guohua set his sights on another girl from a better-off family and spent a lot of money on that female educated youth.

So where did his money come from?

Huo Qingqing met her friend Zhao Linfeng from the farm and learned some things about what had happened in the farm in the past year: things were always lost, but they couldn't find out who stole them.

Huo Qingqing immediately thought of Zhang Guohua.

Since Han Jianwu has not been brought down, Zhang Guohua must make some money before returning to the city. Otherwise, with his ostentatious nature, how can he show his awesome side to his classmates and aunts and uncles after returning to the city?

Han Jianwu and Jiang Zian revealed the news to several middlemen who resold farm tools. Those people quickly contacted the people at the commune forest farm, and they were cut off from the deal last night.

Zhang Guohua didn't know about this yet, because he and another educated youth were only responsible for moving things out of the warehouse and putting them in a safe cellar. The other two educated youths were the ones who traded with the middlemen, and they had a clear division of labor.

Zhang Guohua is waiting to go home after dividing the money! He waited until the bus was about to leave but still hadn't seen anyone, so he had no choice but to leave. After all, he had made a few deals recently and had some money.

A lot of people were confessed at once during the initial trial.

Zhang Guohua was able to infiltrate this theft gang soon after arriving at the forest farm because one of his good brothers was the leader of the gang, so he quickly got into the inner circle. They previously had their own channels for selling stolen goods, but due to the recent crackdown, their old buyers didn't dare to make too big moves and were stingy with their money. This wave of buyers contacted them and offered high prices, so they sold a lot of farm tools at one time, some of which were newly purchased.

After being locked up, Zhang Guohua and his boss discussed the matter and felt that they had fallen into a trap, but who had set it up for them?

The boss said, "Could it be Han Jianwu, that peasant?"

Zhang Guohua, "Impossible, how could he know about us? I feel like this must be someone from the forest farm, or there's a spy within our organization."

There were only five of them in total, and all of them were arrested. Except for the two of them, anyone could be a spy, but it seemed that no one was. What benefit would it bring to the informant if they were all arrested? The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and the people have been locked up, and not a single family member has come forward to bail them out. This is clearly not an internal issue.

After the interrogation, the three were locked up together with Zhang Guohua and his boss Song Shaoxiong. They were stubborn and refused to tell the truth, so they were beaten. There were bruises on the corners of their faces and they looked miserable.

One of them was a tall and thin man who looked like a monkey. He was so scared that he peed his pants. He asked Song Shaoxiong, "Brother, will we go to jail?"

Song Shaoxiong shook his head, "Let's just leave it to fate! I've been working for several years, why did I fail this year? It's really a bad year. Bad luck, ugh." He spat out the straw in his mouth, lay on the floor, looked up at the sky and stopped talking.

Zhang Guohua poked Song Shaoxiong with his elbow, "Do you have any solution?"

Song Shaoxiong looked at Zhang Guohua from the side and smiled, saying, "Do you really think I'm Sun Wukong? Don't you know what this place is? What else can I do? I'll make the best of it. When I did my first job, I knew there was no turning back."

Zhang Guohua angrily asked, "You clearly know that this is a road of no return, why did you drag me down with it?"

Song Shaoxiong sneered and said, "Did I drag you into this? Think about how you got involved? Who was the one who cried and said that he couldn't make it in Hanjiagou anymore and asked me to find a way to get you to the farm? Who pestered me about how to make a fortune? After I told him the way, who patted his chest and said he wanted to work with me? Guohua, I told you at the time that this road is not a bright and open road. If you can afford it, join it. If you can't afford it, just pretend you didn't hear anything. But what did you say at the time? Have you forgotten?"

Of course Zhang Guohua remembered. He said he wanted to fight for it and show it to everyone, including Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu, the peasants, his father and his hateful stepmother.

The skinny monkey said, "Okay, the two big brothers, stop fighting among yourselves. Now we have to find a way to get out! If we are sentenced for this, the rest of our lives will be ruined."

Zhang Guohua: "I have no future now, so let me be sentenced! Prison is not bad, it provides food and accommodation."

“……”This guy is completely crazy.

It was the end of the year and many middlemen could be caught in a day, and there was a lot of theft, but these five of them were too special. It was common for educated youth to steal things, but that was because the children were hungry. Petty thefts were all for filling their stomachs, such as stealing a chicken, eggs, or radishes. They would be criticized and educated and that was it. But this time was completely different. The nature of their behavior was too bad.

What they stole were collective property and farm tools, which were all purchased by the farm.

Several middlemen were directly sentenced and sent to labor camps for reform through labor. Their families, farm leaders, and the person in charge of the commune's educated youth management office had to be notified of these people.

Han Jianwu closed the store on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Now the store openly sells cloth, wool, hats, shoes, socks and the like. Gao Haijun is indeed quite capable. I don't know where he has set up a sales point for defective goods. No one is investigating them, so the same thing applies: just don’t disrupt the normal operations of the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Han Jianwu and Jiang Zian each carried a leather bag filled with New Year's goods, preparing to go home for the New Year.

Han Jianwu said, "I asked you to spend the New Year at my house but you insisted on going home. What's the point of spending the New Year alone?"

Jiang Zian said, "Even one has to go home! Didn't our ancestors say that? No matter how poor you are, you have to celebrate the New Year! I will go to wish you and your sister-in-law a happy New Year on the third day of the New Year, and I will also pay New Year's greetings to my second brother's family. It's all thanks to him that Ziping was able to join the army this time."

Han Jianwu, "Okay! We've made some money this year, let's find a wife after the New Year!!"

Jiang Zian, "My dear brother, how can you marry a wife with this little money? Let's talk about it in a few years!"

Han Jianwu raised his eyebrows. "Recently, that educated youth surnamed Zhao has been coming to our store frequently. What's going on?"
