Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Liu Gang explained, "This incident has infuriated the leaders. They've said they want to make an example of these people and punish them severely. So the more horrible their fate, the better, so it can serve as a warning to others."

Although it is rather cruel, to be honest, Li Xu still strongly agrees with this approach.

Because only by killing one to warn the rest and making people feel awe can the environment in Tang County become stable.

So he nodded and said, "The leaders are doing the right thing."

The two chatted for a long time, and then Liu Gang said goodbye and left.

The next few days.

The production teams under Tang County were strictly screened, and finally nearly 200 people were found, including three team leaders.

The place that surprised people the most was Sunjiatan, where there was no one committing crimes.

This is not because Li Xu is helping, but because the Sun family members would not do such immoral things.

Those people from other families were suppressed by the Sun family, so they dared not do it.

Because of the large number of people, Liu Wen no longer worried and was happy every day.

Afterwards, he not only invited Li Xu to dinner twice, but also bought him some gifts.

...

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, a motorcade picked up Li Mei and Li Jiakang from the city railway station.

Because it was inconvenient for men and women to squeeze together, Li Xu asked Hu Yitong to go to another car.

After getting in the car, Li Xu asked, "Sister, why do you look unwell? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Mei forced a smile on her pale face and replied, "It's okay, it will be fine in a while."

Hearing her say this, Li Xu thought she was tired from the car ride, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said excitedly, "Knowing you'd be coming back today, Mom specially prepared chicken, duck, fish and meat to nourish you. Are you drooling just thinking about it now?"

Li Mei swallowed unconsciously, but she said, "It's a waste to cook so many dishes for just me."

"I'll help you eat it, so it won't be wasted."

Li Mei rolled her eyes at him and didn't continue the topic. Instead, she said, "Tell me what happened in the county this year."

Since Tang County has always had a lot of outrageous activities, the Li family rarely mentioned county affairs when sending letters to her, so as to avoid being seen by others and causing trouble.

Li Xu was a little puzzled. "You usually don't care, what's wrong with you today?"

After a moment of silence, Li Mei replied in a low voice, "I will come back to work after graduation."

The implication was obvious. Since she would be coming back to work in the future, she had to prepare early and learn more about the county's affairs.

"Huh?" Li Xu exclaimed, "You still have a year and a half before graduation. How can you be so sure to come back? Did something happen?"

"Ever since the movement was implemented nationwide, my teacher has been affected by it and has often been pulled in to do self-criticisms. And it's not just him; many teachers have been like this. They even got together to discuss this matter and finally reached a consensus that the days ahead will become increasingly difficult.

So before the holiday, my teacher talked to me and said that he really wanted me to stay on campus after graduation, but in the current situation, he was worried that I would be implicated by him, so he changed his mind and asked me to come back after graduation, and he would keep his distance from me in the future.

Hearing this, Li Xu didn't react for a moment.

According to the Gregorian calendar, it is now 64 years, and the university teachers were attacked in 66 years. How could it happen so long in advance?

Could it be that the content written in later textbooks is wrong?

When he came to his senses, he hurriedly asked, "Sister, besides the self-criticism, has your teacher been affected in any other way?"

"Nothing else, just this one."

After thinking for a moment, Li Xu hesitated and asked, "Are the teachers who were pulled in to make self-criticisms all landlords?"

"Um."

After getting a positive answer, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that the situation now and two years later are completely different.

You have to know that most of the people who can become university teachers nowadays have complicated family backgrounds.

Some of them came from bourgeois families, while others came from landlord families.

As for people from other classes, we cannot say that there are none, but we can only say that there are very few.

Actually, there is nothing we can do about it.

In the old society, ordinary people were lucky enough to be able to keep their lives, so how could they have the time to think about anything else?

Without family support, how can you pursue academic studies?

Thinking of this, Li Xu pondered and said, "Since your teacher said to keep a distance from him, then you should listen to him, and also create the appearance that you are alienated from him in class, understand?"

Li Mei, who always trusted Li Xu's judgment, was shocked when she heard him say something similar to her teacher. "Xiao Xu, is my teacher's situation really going to get more and more difficult?"

Li Xu sighed, "That's for sure. I only need to tell you one thing and you'll understand. The target of this campaign is the landlords, not the landlord class."

Many people confuse landlords and landlord composition, thinking they mean the same thing.

Actually they are not the same.

For example, if a landlord has five children, then only the head of the family can inherit the title of landlord, and the others will be landlords.

In other words, the most unfortunate person in this era was the person who inherited the title of landlord. He was the one who was paraded through the streets and held criticism meetings.

Although those in his family who were landlords would be discriminated against, their fate would definitely be much better than his.

To put it bluntly, under normal circumstances they wouldn't even be qualified to parade in the streets...

Li Mei pondered for a moment, then her expression turned even uglier. "Are you saying someone is taking advantage of this and blowing it out of proportion?"
