Chapter 193 An Old Capitalist Lady

193

When Li Tiezhu heard the old lady say that their company commander was unwilling,

"Hey, ma'am, how can you talk like that? It's fine if you're wrongly accusing me, but our company commander didn't say a word, so how can you blindly accuse her of this?

So what if she's young? Our company commander may be young, but he's quite capable. We can't even compare to him. Auntie, be careful with your words. You need evidence to accuse someone wrongly."

Tang Yue's eyes lit up. This Li Tieniu was quite interesting. Just now when this old lady wrongly accused him, he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he didn't know how to resist.

But now that he was talking about her, his eloquence came back into play.

The woman holding the steamer became even more angry after hearing what Li Tiezhu said. "What? I said something wrong, what's wrong with you? You're a baozi thief, and I haven't even reported you yet, but you're acting so arrogantly.

besides..."

As the old lady spoke, she gathered the steamer in her arms and pointed at Tang Yue with one free hand, "You're still calling her company commander. Look at how old this girl is, and how capable she is. Is she weaned yet?"

As soon as these words were spoken, anger flashed across the faces of the people who followed. Chang Yin stepped forward to block Tang Yue.

"Auntie, it was wrong for Li Tieniu to reach out and take the buns without asking the price, and we have already apologized to you. But our company commander didn't offend you, so it's inappropriate for you to say that.

The appointment of any officer in the military must go through layers of scrutiny. You can't just blindly label her as unworthy of the position."

When this woman confronted Li Tiezhu, she was right and very stubborn. She also felt from the bottom of her heart that these people were not good people. Otherwise, how could they steal the buns from their state-owned restaurant?

But she just thought she was right and had been confronting Li Tieniu, and she didn't really notice the officer in front of her with a cold face. Now, hearing what the officer said with a cold face, she suddenly felt a little weak.

"I, I didn't say anything wrong. At such a young age..."

"Being young is no excuse for you to attack her."

The old lady knew that she had said the wrong thing, but she didn't want to admit it, so she pointed the finger at Li Tieniu again.

Just now when they passed by this county town, they thought that they were about to reach the Qinling Mountains. They wondered if there was any place near the Qinling Mountains where they could get supplies, so they decided to come here first to get enough supplies.

They walked all the way from South Island and no one saw them. Chen Erniu and the others were carrying the talisman given by Tang Yue, so they instinctively thought that no one noticed them.

They had just walked into the street when they ran into the old lady. Chen Erniu and his companions had not spoken to anyone along the way, and the excitement of being invisible had not yet worn off, which led Chen Erniu to want to try it out. He picked up a bun and wondered if the old lady could see it. In fact, he regretted it the moment he picked it up and immediately wanted to put the bun back.

But at this moment, the old lady refused to give in.

Chang Yin didn't want to waste any more time, so he stretched out his hand to take out the money, and his mouth was not idle either, "Auntie, it's not right for our teammate to check your buns, but he just wanted to see how the buns were, he really didn't mean to steal your things.

We soldiers will never take a single needle or thread from the masses."

The old lady was still curling her lips and muttering quietly, "You've already taken it, and you're still trying to make up for it. This is for the garment factory. The factory director specifically asked for it."

The sound was so quiet that people with poor hearing wouldn't be able to hear it, but Chang Yin and the others heard it. However, they were in the military and had no control over the county's affairs, so they didn't want to intervene.

At this time, a frail old lady, her clothes patched up and whitened by washing, walked over slowly and said, "Comrade, I just saw this. This soldier picked it up and looked at it. He must have been very satisfied and wanted to put it down to pay, but this woman didn't allow him to put it down."

There was a sudden realization around them, and some onlookers murmured, "I was saying, how could these soldiers steal things? They are all good people."

"That's right, we almost misunderstood these military comrades just now."

......

The woman serving the buns was not happy. She looked at the frail woman fiercely and said, "Qin Diao, why are you everywhere? It seems you haven't learned your lesson and are still so nosy."

Although old lady Qin Diao was frail, her back was straight. "Oh, no matter what, we can't wrongly accuse a good person. In this world..."

"Thank you for your help, grandma."

Tang Yue quickly spoke up to stop Qin Diao from saying anything else. She clearly remembered the madness of those people in Daobei Village. It seemed that it was the same everywhere in the world. This old lady was obviously in trouble and seemed to be suppressed by others. She couldn't make the old lady's life worse.

Qin Diao looked down at the little girl holding her hand, and her eyes suddenly turned red. If, if her grandchildren were still alive, would her youngest granddaughter be this big?

As soon as Tang Yue saw the look in the old lady's eyes, she knew that this person had a story.

Tang Yue also heard the discussions of the people around her about Qin Diao.

"Oh, I really don't know what this old lady is insisting on every day? A capitalist's daughter, she keeps thinking about fighting for justice every day. Where does she get the nerve to do that?"

"That's not the case. But come to think of it, this guy really didn't do anything wrong..."

The people around him quickly poked the person who was talking, "Hey, what are you talking about? Be careful..."

The man's eyes darted around, clearly searching for the Red Soldiers. Tang Yue frowned. Why were these people so afraid of those with red bandages tied around their arms? Furthermore, it seemed like they didn't even have the right to speak.

The old lady serving the buns wanted to continue, but Chang Yin didn't want to waste any more time here. He placed two large unity notes on the old lady's arms and said, "Auntie, this is my comrade's compensation for taking the buns without my permission. Can we go now?"

The old lady saw the two big unity notes on the arm holding the steamer, and quickly picked them up with her other hand and put them in her pocket. Her drooping eyes turned maliciously, and she wanted to say something else, but Qin Diao said in a lukewarm voice, "There are so many people, and you don't know..."

The woman holding the buns seemed to understand. She snorted in a feigned magnanimity, "Hmph! You're sensible enough not to take advantage of the public and undermine socialism. I'll forgive you this time."

After saying that, he took advantage of no one's attention and ran away quickly with his legs moving.

Chang Yin turned around and thanked Qin Diao solemnly. He also heard some discussions around him and knew that the old lady in front of him used to be the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. This identity was really not very friendly to her now.

So Chang Yin just thanked him solemnly but did not salute. Now they were outside, and wherever they went, not only did they represent the image of the army, but their attitudes could also be interpreted arbitrarily by onlookers.

Even if Chang Yin wanted to do something, he couldn't do it.

Qin Diao waved her hand. "I didn't help you much. This is the truth. I never tell lies. Now that you've thanked me, let's go."

After saying this, Qin Diao turned around and left without waiting for Tang Yue and the others to leave.

Some people looked at the direction Qin Diao left in confusion, "Strange, how dare this old woman come into the city like this today? Why isn't she staying in her shabby house?"

"Hey, this old lady is a strong person. If it weren't for her grandchildren, she probably wouldn't have been so obedient and let those people toss her around."

"Hey? You know what, I feel like this old lady is in good spirits today. Logically, this shouldn't be the case."

Tang Yue heard everyone's confusion and had a bad feeling in her heart. However, they were busy going to the supply and marketing cooperative and the state-owned restaurant to restock supplies, so they didn't follow the old lady. However, Tang Yue's consciousness had already been sent out to observe the old lady.

On the way to the state-owned restaurant, Li Tieniu looked listless, no different from a fish that had been dried out of water.
