Chapter 192: Innocence was stabbed

As soon as the three production team leaders entered the office, they saw the secretary walking around the office with a face even darker than Bao Gong. The team leaders were a little afraid to ask, mainly because they didn't know how to ask.

The three of them pushed each other, and no one wanted to speak first.

The secretary got even angrier when he saw this, and asked angrily, "What? You don't take the members to work in the fields, but instead bring them to the brigade headquarters. What do you want to do? Are you rebelling?"

Wang Jianjun, the leader of a production team, saw that the other two leaders were silent, so he had to bite the bullet and answer: "Secretary, it's not that we don't want to take the members to the fields, it's that they don't want to go to the fields to work, and said they want to come and ask clearly before going to work."

"What are you asking? Is it their right to ask? If the collective does not obey the arrangements, what else could it be but rebellion? What? Do they have to agree with the decisions of the brigade? Are they the leaders? Who has the final say in this village?" The secretary slammed his fist on the table, causing the enamel cup on the table to clang loudly and almost fall off the table.

The secretary has been a cadre for too long and has forgotten that the common people don’t care who has the final say in the village. They will support whoever can truly care about everyone and provide them with enough food.

The members outside were listening to the conversation in the office with their ears perked up, and they became even angrier when they heard the secretary say that. Taking people in exchange for food to survive is equivalent to killing their parents, which is an irreconcilable hatred.

So the members didn't care whether it was the brigade office or not, they all rushed in.

"Secretary, we have no food to eat before the spring comes. You know how long we have been hungry. Now we finally have a job to make money and can buy some food to fill our stomachs. Secretary, please be kind and let us continue working. We will definitely not delay our work."

"Secretary, Ziyi's wife found a job to help us earn money. If we can't earn money, we should just abandon her. We can't be so heartless."

"Secretary, your eldest daughter-in-law doesn't know how to do it at all. If you don't do it, who will teach us in the future?"

"Secretary, if you treat Ziyi's wife like this, it will chill Ziyi's heart. Ziyi and his wife are good people. They didn't think of selling the wild buffalo when they caught it, but gave it to the production team. The couple are selfless and have no selfish motives."

…

In the office, the members who squeezed in were clamoring to persuade the secretary, strongly requesting that the secretary keep Yi Ke as a technician.

Of course, they didn’t know what a technician was. They just knew that they needed Yi Ke to guide them to do the job.

They believed that they could only make money if Yi Ke led them to do it, because both times Yi Ke had cut the clothes for their families, and the women in their families only had to sew them up with needle and thread. The money earned was used to exchange for food for them.

You have to know that during this period of scarcity, you may not be able to buy food even if you have money. Going to the black market is not only dangerous but also extremely expensive.

The food they could exchange for was only two cents more than what they got at the grain station, and no food coupons were required, so it was really a bargain.

When the secretary's eldest daughter-in-law heard from the children that the secretary didn't want to be in charge anymore, she also wanted to come and see what was going on. I also want to see if my father-in-law would let me take over the job.

At this time, the members outside saw the secretary's eldest daughter-in-law coming to the brigade headquarters, and they all cursed at her: "You stinky woman, it's all because of your broken mouth that you persuaded your father-in-law to stop doing anything. Tell me, what are you thinking?"

"Can't you bear to see us having a meal? We should watch your family having enough food, and we should be hungry. Seeing you having a meal, your eyes turn red like a rabbit. You will only be happy if we starve to death. How can you be so cruel?"

"What do you mean your sewing and tailoring are the best? Pah! Shameless, your sewing and tailoring are not even as good as your sister-in-law's, and you dare to compare with Ziyi's wife. Do you think everyone doesn't know how good you are? You still want to teach us? How can you not be so proud of yourself?"

"It's this stinky woman who ruined our business, causing us to go hungry and not have enough food to eat, and destroying social unity. Isn't she a bad element like the landlords? Shouldn't she be criticized and educated?"

The members became more and more excited. In the end, no one knew who started it, but everyone rushed forward to pull the hair, slap the faces, and spit on the faces...

When the secretary and the team leader heard the screams outside, they rushed out of the office and rescued the secretary's eldest daughter-in-law from the three layers of encirclement. However, she was already dying. In order to protect her, her man was punched and spitted at many times, but he was never slapped in the face.

There was a hole in my heart! The team leader quickly instructed the production team leader Wang Jianjun to arrange for people to be sent to the town hospital, and asked the members to go back to work first. After the team cadres and the production team cadres held a meeting to discuss the matter, they gave the members a reply.

When the members saw that the secretary's wife was almost beaten to death, they became frightened and obediently went back to work.

The secretary took his son and eldest daughter-in-law to the town hospital, and the team leader took the opportunity to hold a production meeting.

Production meetings are usually convened by the team leader. In addition to the team cadres, the participants include the team leaders, the production team secretaries and work recorders (work points are recorded by the work recorders).

After the secretary left, the team leader took the opportunity to hold a meeting, and everyone knew what the meeting was about.

Sure enough, after everyone was seated, the team leader went straight to the point and stated the main content of today's meeting: to discuss the stay or departure of Yi Ke, a technician at the backpack factory.

Everyone unanimously agreed that Yi could be a technician, responsible for technical guidance and designing various new styles of bags. The bag factory should not have only one style of bags.

It is easy to agree that Yi Ke can be a technician, but the key point now is that Yi Ke himself does not want to do it. Why? I feel disappointed.

The team leader also mentioned what Yi Ke had said at the beginning, that he wanted to teach everyone how to raise chickens, ducks and pigs scientifically.

The team leader wanted to let everyone know that the woman whom the secretary looked down upon could lead everyone to do so many things that benefit the villagers, and that the secretary's selfishness had caused everyone to suffer heavy losses.

The leader of the third team said loudly: "Every time the commune leaders come down to hold a meeting, they say that the people can't just wait for relief, they have to learn to save themselves. Everyone can say this, but it is extremely difficult to do it. This year, we finally have a way to save ourselves, which gives everyone hope for life. If the secretary doesn't help everyone save themselves, then don't hold us back."

The captain of the second team also said, "Captain, you are in charge of production, I think you should make the decisions on these matters. The secretary will retire next year, and I know he wants to make more arrangements for his family before he retires. If he wants to make arrangements for his youngest son and his wife, we have no objection, but his eldest son and his wife, neither of them is capable. The members have sharp eyes, and he can't do whatever he wants."

"Is the scientific chicken farming that Ziyi's wife talks about really feasible?"

"Ziyi's wife said that we can artificially hatch chicks and raise earthworms to feed chickens..." The team leader explained Yi Ke's breeding methods in detail.

"In fact, we can try it with a few dozen eggs. Earthworms are even simpler. They are common in the fields and we can try to breed them. I personally think that what Yi Ke said should be possible. She is not the kind of person who brags."

Finally, everyone unanimously decided that after Ziyi came back, everyone would go and ask Yike to continue to be a technician at the bag factory and teach everyone how to raise animals scientifically...
