She went outside and found a place to take the bicycle out of the space.

If it wasn't forbidden to ride a dog in broad daylight, she would have just ridden Tuanzi back.

Before entering the village, I saw Jiang Ye riding a bicycle towards me, and they both stopped their bikes.

"Nuannuan."

"Aye." Xu Nuannuan asked him, "Are you going to the county town?"

"No, I'm going to my aunt's house to get something. Do you want to come with me?"

"Oh, I won't go." She missed her sleep due to the transaction yesterday, so she wanted to go back and rest.

Jiang Ye was curious about the direction she came back in early in the morning.

"Did you go to the county town?"

"Yes. Wenyu asked me to go to her house yesterday. I left before dark and came back early this morning."

After the two parted ways, Xu Nuannuan considered that she might have to go to the black market frequently to sell goods in the future, and it would be inconvenient to go there and come back in the middle of the night, so staying at the educated youth camp would be a problem.

In addition, Tuanzi needs to go in and out of the space, which is too troublesome because there are so many people and eyes at the educated youth point. It would be better to move out and live closer to his parents so that it will be convenient to send supplies to them.

Thinking of this, he planned to go back to the village to find the team leader. However, before entering the village, he saw an ox cart coming with four people sitting on it, two of them were Tong Qingmin and Feng Zhiwei, and the other was Zhang Weimin, the team leader of the Xinghuawan Brigade. He didn't know the person driving the cart, but he should also be from the Xinghuawan Brigade.

Tong Qingmin and Feng Zhiwei were both tied up with ropes and had sad faces.

When they saw Xu Nuannuan, they quickly called for help: "Xu Zhiqing, Xu Zhiqing, save us."

Xu Nuannuan stopped the car and asked Zhang Weimin, "Captain Zhang, why are you tying up the educated youth from our brigade? Where are you going?"

Zhang Weimin said, "These two people came to our brigade to steal corn. We are going to send them to the commune."

"We didn't steal. We just picked up an ear of corn on the ground. They saw it and said we stole it," Tong Weimin said aggrievedly.

"What do you mean by picked up? You guys are quite good at making excuses for yourselves. I've never seen anyone picking up corn from someone else's field."

"That corn was right on the road. I really picked it up."

Zhang Weimin snorted. "Can corn just grow on its own? Stop trying to argue. The facts are the facts. You stole it, no matter how much. I'm going to hand you over to the commune."

With two such villains in the Qingpingwan Brigade, it will be difficult for them to turn things around.

Xu Nuannuan knew that once these two people were sent to the commune, it would have a huge impact on the reputation of the Qingpingwan Brigade. The Qingpingwan Brigade's status and reputation in the commune were already not good, and if this incident happened, it would only be a blow to the entire brigade.

At this time, the commune's indicators depended not only on the brigade's grain output, but also on the brigade's atmosphere.

If the news of a thief in their team gets out, not only will they be laughed at, but they will also not be able to enjoy any benefits from the commune in the future.

She said to Zhang Weimin, "Uncle, it's just an ear of corn. We can just educate them. Is there any need to send them to the commune for processing?"

Zhang Weimin was actually very jealous of the fact that Xu Nuannuan, a good educated youth, came from Qingpingwan, but he also held a grudge against Xu Nuannuan. If Xu Nuannuan had not brought down the Shen family father and son, the Qingpingwan Brigade could continue to sell fertilizer to their brigade at a low price.

This year, their brigade's grain output is estimated to be lower than in previous years, and its position as the brigade with the highest grain output in the entire commune may no longer be maintained.

Moreover, he also heard that Xu Nuannuan not only caught human traffickers and thieves, rescued the daughter of the county party secretary, and improved the reputation of the Qingpingwan Brigade, but also paid for the purchase of fertilizers for their brigade and taught the villagers how to ferment farmyard manure. Now the crops in the Qingpingwan Brigade are growing better and better. If this year's grain output cannot catch up with theirs, maybe they will catch up next year.

He had no control over how much grain could be harvested from the fields, so he decided to destroy the reputation of the Qingpingwan Brigade.

"Xu Zhiqing, you're making it sound easy. They stole something, no matter how much. It's still theft and they must be taken to the commune for processing."

Xu Nuannuan felt that Zhang Weimin seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for her, so she said, "Uncle, our two teams are right next to each other, you are showing no mercy at all."

"The rules don't allow me to be lenient, so I can't be lenient."

"It seems you've forgotten that when the educated youth from your brigade went to our brigade and acted like hooligans last time, we didn't send Li Chengde to the commune. You have no respect at all."

Zhang Weimin was determined this time to discredit the Qingpingwan Brigade, to make Yu Guobao lose face, and to make the entire Qingpingwan Brigade lose face in the eyes of the entire commune. He directly rejected Xu Nuannuan: "Xu Zhiqing, there is no need to say more. I am also following the rules. If thieves like this are not severely punished, it will only increase the evil tendencies in the brigade. There is no room for negotiation."

He asked the driver to bypass Xu Nuannuan and go directly to the commune.

Xu Nuannuan knew that Zhang Weimin was deliberately making a fuss and wanted to cause trouble for their team. She couldn't stop him, so she hurried to inform the team leader.

She rode her bicycle as fast as she could, almost pushing the two wheels like Hot Wheels. When she arrived at the team leader's house, she quickly told him what had happened. The team leader then rode the bicycle that Jiang Ye had assembled for him yesterday. Regardless of the bumpy road, he rode as if he was riding Hot Wheels, and soon he saw the ox cart of the Xinghuawan Brigade.

The ox cart had stopped, and in front of the cart was Jiang Ye, who was talking to Zhang Weimin.

The team leader didn't even know if his wheels were smoking. He stepped in front of the ox cart and said breathlessly to Zhang Weimin, "Captain Zhang, don't give a damn. Keep these two people. We will compensate you tenfold for your team's losses."
