“Comrade County Head, let me tell you, this He Junsheng in front of us is the one who stirred things up.”

“This person is a real scoundrel; he deliberately tried to sow discord between us and Team Leader Jiang.”

"We should turn what Team Leader Jiang did for our whole village into his crime."

"Let us be ungrateful people."

Why do you think he's trying to sow discord?

Song Weimin was also very puzzled as to why these women in the village were so protective of Jiang Tiecheng.

"Comrade County Head, you have no idea how hard life has been for our production brigade these past few years due to disasters!"

“Everyone in our family is hungry, and we can’t blame anyone else for that.”

Even if God doesn't give us food, we'll accept it.

"Tighten your belt, eat only one meal a day, and that meal is mostly water with little rice."

“But we didn’t complain, but we were starving. The whole family, young and old, could only lie on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"After Team Leader Jiang arrived, he finally did something good for us."

"After they took our orders, you have no idea how much food we've had to make for quilts and clothes over these past three months."

"At least we can finally have two meals at home. My kids were so hungry they couldn't even get out of bed, but these past two days they've finally been able to run and jump around again."

"This is all thanks to Team Leader Tuojiang. Although we villagers are not very educated..."

"But we know how to be grateful. We know who has helped us a lot, and we can't lose our conscience."

"If there are no orders, there are no orders. We didn't have any orders to begin with."

"You can't blame Team Leader Jiang just because we didn't get any orders. Do you think we're even human?"

"But this guy surnamed He in front of us is trying to provoke us into fighting with Team Leader Jiang."

"They want us all to hate Team Leader Jiang. Don't you think he deserves to be beaten?"

"This kind of thing is really awful; it doesn't do anything practical for us."

They actually dared to plot against our benefactor! What kind of person would do that? If we don't beat them up, who will we beat up?

"Originally, we beat up our team leader to protect him, but this Captain Hu came out and insisted on arresting our team leader."

"Where can we go to reason with this? Our team leader didn't do anything."

"We were the ones who hit people, and we were the ones who cursed at them."

“Our team leader didn’t do anything, yet they’re arresting him. Isn’t our team leader being wronged?”

"Isn't it wrong for him to put up a little resistance?"

At this moment, Song Weimin gave Hu Wei a sharp look.

Hu Wei immediately explained.

“County Chief Song, this is all my fault. I didn’t find out the truth and only listened to the one-sided story of Comrade He, which caused this misunderstanding.”

I apologize.

That's absolutely right.

Moreover, he admitted his mistakes quickly, leaving Song Weimin unable to find any fault with Hu Wei.

"Alright, the facts have been clarified in front of everyone."

Comrade Jiang Tiecheng had absolutely no problems, and in fact, he solved the problem of food and clothing for the people of the production brigade.

For this reason alone, everyone should be grateful to Comrade Jiang Tiecheng, and should not question his motives just because he did such a thing.

This will discourage good people.

The people around immediately applauded. So that was the truth. It turned out that an innocent person had been wronged.

The county magistrate said so, which proves that this matter is absolutely correct.

He Junsheng quietly tried to slip into the crowd, but things were developing in a way that was very unfavorable to him.

Unexpectedly, his second aunt grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the crowd.

"Don't run away! Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

“You were shouting so loudly just now, but now you’re silent. Apologize to our Team Leader Jiang.”

"Yes! I apologize, this person has terrible character."

"We must apologize to our team leader. Our team leader works so hard, all for the sake of everyone."

"And yet you're still here sowing discord, blaming all the problems on our team leader."

"Besides, you're no longer an educated youth in our production team, so what right do you have to point fingers here?"

"Apologize!"

An apology is required!

Under these circumstances, He Junsheng could only lower his head, as the county magistrate was staring coldly at him.

I have never been so humiliated in my entire life. The first time I have been so humiliated is because of Jiang Tiecheng in front of me.

Jiang Tiecheng is practically his nemesis.

"sorry!"

"The voice is so low."

"Just like a mosquito's buzzing, you were buzzing so loudly a moment ago, but now your voice is so soft."

The second aunt persisted, mainly because they genuinely approved of Jiang Tiecheng.

In recent days, Jiang Tiecheng has been solving problems for everyone in a practical way, both through his abilities and by setting a good example.

Let's not talk about whether a person is capable or not. As long as they can feed everyone, that person is capable.

He Junsheng apologized sincerely and slunk away, pushing his bicycle.

After everyone dispersed, Jiang Tiecheng spoke to his second aunt and the others who were surrounding him.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, everyone hurry up and go shopping, don't let me delay your shopping."

Auntie and the others then headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative. Jiang Tiecheng turned around and said to County Chief Song in front of him.

"County Chief Song, thank you for upholding justice for us."

Looking at the composed young man before him, Song Weimin realized that he had shown remarkable courage in confronting the accusations and even the difficulties they had faced. This was truly a rare and admirable young man.

"How can you just let it go like this?"

These words struck Hu Wei like a thunderbolt.
