Chapter 187 The brigade chief was sentenced to death.

Wang's mother pulled Wang Shuo aside and said, "A few days ago, your cousin came to visit us. He brought a lot of nice things, and he also said that your uncle arranged a job for you at the meat processing plant so you can go there anytime."

This is something countless people dream of.

But Wang Shuo refused, saying, "I'm not going. I have something to tell you when I get back. From today onwards, I am the captain of the Golden Bull Brigade."

For ordinary people, the brigade leader is quite remarkable, but Wang Mu looked down on him: "What brigade leader? Isn't he just someone who leads the work? It's tiring and hard and doesn't pay much. You should listen to me and pack your things to go work at your uncle's meat processing plant."

Wang Shuo said impatiently, "Mom, is he born to the same mother and father as you? He's a godfather, not a blood uncle. Even if he were a blood uncle, I wouldn't dare to go. How can you be so shameless? My son and I have received so much kindness from him over the years, with all sorts of good food and drink. You've been living like royalty. How can you still have the nerve to let your son work at his meat processing plant?"

"They helped us because of our father; they're kind-hearted. We can't really rely on others to support us, can we?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt somewhat ashamed.

Because Wang Shuo's father and the director of the meat processing plant were sworn brothers back then, after Wang Shuo's father passed away, the director of the meat processing plant recognized Wang's mother as his god-sister and has been selflessly helping her all these years.

The Queen Mother muttered, "Look at Lu Bowen, a rich young man, handsome, filial and obedient. And look at you? You're always thinking about running away from home, and you're not filial at all. You don't have to work at your uncle's meat processing plant, and you can be whatever brigade leader you want, but you have to get married."

"The person is Zhu Xiaohua!"

Wang Shuo ran away again while the Queen Mother wasn't looking.

Enraged, the Queen Mother stamped her feet and ran to the commune to complain to Tang Yanyi.

Wang Shuo became the captain of the brigade this year. His first task was to hold a general meeting, settle accounts, and then warn those who needed to be warned.

Although he was a rough man, he could also be observant. He quickly noticed that something was wrong with the accounts. They showed that grain was paid to the state every year, and the per capita grain was clearly calculated.

However, based on his understanding of the brigade, they received grain resold every year, but the commune members did not receive any per capita grain.

He sensed something was wrong and immediately went to find the old Party Secretary. The old Party Secretary was too old to bother with such matters; it would be too much trouble to get involved.

Wang Shuo pressed Tian Liang, the secretary, for details.

Tian Liang was so frightened that he cried and hurriedly said, "I'm just a bookkeeper, I don't know anything."

Wang Shuo began to suspect He Guangliang, and rushed to He's house in the middle of the night with a flashlight. However, the old fox was still the most cunning, and he naturally couldn't win the argument with He Guangliang.

He was worried about this for several days.

Meanwhile, the old Party Secretary personally visited Wang Yuqing and invited him to return to the non-staple food team to continue leading everyone to make money.

Wang Yuqing said, "Sure, let He Guangliang apologize to me."

He Guangliang naturally wouldn't apologize.

However, everyone in the brigade made He Guangliang apologize.

He Guangliang had no choice but to bow his head and apologize to Wang Yuqing in front of everyone.

Wang Yuqing said with a smile, "I'll accept the apology, but I won't go back to the non-staple food team."

It wasn't because she was targeting He Guangliang; she was just tired and fed up. She still had five or six hundred yuan left, plus a lot of nice things in her collection, so she wanted to just relax and settle down.

Finally, at the old Party Secretary's request, she re-established the non-staple food team, discarding Hua Yan and Li Xiuer from the previous team.

The two people cried and begged Wang Yuqing.

Wang Yuqing refused both of them. The two men actually understood Wang Yuqing's feelings. In the end, when they returned home, they started to cry and complain to their families.

Both families were filled with regret.

They all brought their entire families to Wang Yuqing's door to beg her, but Wang Yuqing still said the same two words: "No!"

The team members are Chen E, Lei Yongxia, Chen Xiang, Zhao Sufeng, Tang Wan, and Niu Zhenzhen, who didn't make it in last time.

As for Miao Ying, she was barely noticeable during this incident involving non-staple foods, and she neither sided with Wang Yuqing nor with Hua Gui.

Wang Yuqing had no reason not to want her.

Miao Ying was relieved that she hadn't gone to Hua Gui's side. She was smart; after all, she knew that Cao Huan was the one who poisoned her, and since Cao Huan was close to Hua Gui, she probably knew that Cao Huan and Hua Gui would fall from grace. She wasn't in a hurry to take sides.

No matter how much her mother-in-law and husband beat and scolded her, she insisted on not going to Hua Gui's place. To avoid even more severe beatings and scoldings, she said, "Hua Gui's food processing team probably won't last long. This poisoning incident might be related to her."

Now, her mother-in-law and husband are starting to look at her with new respect.

After the non-staple food processing plant was re-established, the old Party Secretary discussed with Wang Shuo about expanding its scale. Wang Shuo was very clever and even managed to contact the commune's non-staple food processing plant.

With Lu Bowen's help, he successfully partnered with the food processing plant. From then on, all the snails produced by the Jinniu Brigade's snail production team were sold to the food processing plant for processing, packaging, and sales.

This means that the Golden Bulls team also has a large-scale side business.

Wang Yuqing also taught everyone how to make snail rice noodles and started large-scale snail farming.

After the food processing team got on track, she did not become the team leader, but instead intended to give the position to Tang Wan.

She directly receives a share of the profits from the non-staple food team every year.

Miao Ying really wanted to be the captain of the non-staple food team. However, she knew that her relationship with Wang Yuqing was not as good as Tang Wan's, but she did not give up and kept trying to find a way.

Wang Shuo not only accomplished the major task of producing non-staple foods, but also, after becoming the team leader, immediately had everyone start firing tiles.

Because the fields in Jinniu Brigade are not plentiful and are not in good locations, they have to rely on side jobs to make money.

Ji Xuening took the lead in making tiles and taught everyone the craft; his contribution was indispensable.

After the incident in the non-staple food team, during the period when Wang Yuqing was removed from her position as team leader, in addition to spending every day at home with Ji Xuening, she also helped her sister-in-law Ji Zhenzhu.

When Ji Zhenzhu's in-laws learned that Wang Yuqing had an accident, they began to look down on Ji Zhenzhu and the Ji family again, and even wanted to divorce her so that Jia Min could remarry.

After Wang Yuqing found out, she deliberately took Ji Zhenzhu to the hospital for a checkup. The results showed that she could conceive, but she told Jia Shan and Sun Guizhi, "I'm so sorry, Ji Zhenzhu really can't have children."

Sun Guizhi said directly, "Divorce."

After all, Wang Yuqing's food processing team was gone, and she was embroiled in a murder case. Her daughter-in-law couldn't have children, so they naturally divorced long ago. She didn't want her to drag her son down with her.

Ji Zhenzhu successfully got a divorce.

Outsiders laughed at Ji Zhenzhu for being kicked out by her in-laws, but only Ji Zhenzhu, Wang Yuqing, Ji Xuening, and Grandma Ji knew that Ji Zhenzhu had escaped from her misery.

What should I do when I get home?

Wang Yuqing arranged for Ji Zhenzhu to cook at the brigade's primary school. The students there brought their own food to the school cafeteria and didn't go home for lunch.

Ji Zhenzhu was responsible for cooking for the students, which led to more contact between her and Teacher Yang Hui. Over time, the two developed feelings for each other.

Yang Hui originally wanted to divorce He Ruhua, who was imprisoned, but his father, Yang Yunguo, forbade it.

Two months later.

Yang Hui's father, Yang Yunguo, has passed away.

Before she died, she regretted her actions, apologized to Yang Hui, and supported his decision to divorce.

After arranging Yang Yunguo's funeral, Yang Hui immediately found Wang Yuqing and said, "I want to report He Guangliang for embezzlement!"

He told Wang Yuqing everything he had seen. When Wang Yuqing recalled the scratches on Yang Hui's face and his hesitation, she realized that he had discovered a basement in He Guangliang's woodshed, which contained grain that He Guangliang had embezzled.

Just then, Wang Shuo also discovered that He Guangliang was acting strangely, but he had no evidence.

Finally, Yang Hui and Wang Shuo reported He Guangliang directly. The higher-ups sent people to check the basement of He's woodshed and found over a thousand catties of grain.

He Guangliang never expected that he would be defeated by Yang Hui, a bad element he looked down upon.

He Guangliang was brought down, which surprised everyone. It turned out that He Guangliang had embezzled so much grain, not only the grain that was to be handed over to the state, but also the grain rations for each person.

He Guangliang's case was very serious; he was sentenced to death.
