Lin Aiguo, who was in a standoff with the Wang family, immediately had a reason: "Everyone, go in and help Xiaoyu rescue people."
With permission from their captain, the members of the Lotus Brigade stormed into the Wang family's house.
Even though Wang's parents wanted to stop them, they couldn't, and even the people from Wangjia Village went in to watch the excitement.
Captain Wang An felt that things were not going to get better today.
He walked in with his hands behind his back, and sighed as he passed Wang's father: "If you insist on courting death, there's nothing I can do to save you."
Mr. Wang panicked, feeling that things were getting out of control.
Once everyone had arrived, Lin Yu opened the door to the woodshed, allowing them to see Wang Zhaodi inside.
Lin Jianguo quickly ran over and helped her up: "Zhaodi, are you alright?"
After twenty years of marriage, Lin Jianguo still felt heartbroken to see Wang Zhaodi in this state.
When Wang Zhaodi saw Lin Jianguo, she immediately burst into tears: "Jianguo, Jianguo, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have run back to my parents' home. I shouldn't have disobeyed you."
Lin Jianguo untied the ropes binding her and comforted her, "It's alright, Zhaodi, I don't blame you, don't cry."
Lin Yu reminded her, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt has a head injury and seems to have a fever. We need to take her to the hospital right away."
Lin Jianguo reached out and touched Wang Zhaodi's head; it was indeed very hot. He quickly picked her up and was about to leave.
The Queen Mother blocked the doorway: "Where are you taking my daughter? Don't even think about taking her away."
Lin Jianguo was in a hurry to take Wang Zhaodi to see a doctor: "Make way, Zhaodi has a fever."
The Queen Mother dismissed it, saying, "She'll be fine after a good night's sleep. Don't even think about taking my daughter away; she's getting married in a couple of days."
Lin Yu then forcefully pushed aside Wang's parents, and the people from the Lotus Brigade surrounded the Wang family, clearing a path for Lin Jianguo.
Seeing that Wang Zhaodi was on the verge of death, the people of Wangjia Village did not dare to stop her.
They were just there to watch the show and had no intention of becoming accomplices to the King and Queen.
Therefore, no matter what Wang's parents said, they were unwilling to step forward and stop Lin Jianguo.
Even Wang Zhaodi's eldest and second uncles were held back by their family members and prevented from going over.
So Lin Jianguo carried Wang Zhaodi away from Wangjia Village without any hindrance, intending to first go back to Linjia Village to find a barefoot doctor, and then take her to the hospital by oxcart.
When the Wang family couldn't stop him, he started to go crazy.
The Queen Mother cursed loudly, "Your Lin family is going too far! That's my daughter. If I want her to get married, she has to get married."
Lin Yu said loudly to Lin Aiguo, "Uncle, let's call the police and let them handle this."
The Queen Mother fell silent immediately, like a duck whose neck had been choked.
The people in the countryside are most afraid of the government. When Lin Yu said he was going to call the police, the Wang family got scared.
Captain Wang was even more afraid. If the higher-ups found out about this, and this happened down below, would he still be able to keep his job as captain?
Especially when Lin Aiguo said, "Well, let's go back and call the police. This is illegal and criminal."
The Wang family quickly said, "What kind of illegal or criminal act is this? Don't try to scare us."
Lin Yu stepped forward and said seriously, "You are restricting personal freedom and trying to force a marriage. These two crimes are enough to send your whole family to jail. If you don't believe me, ask the educated youth in our brigade."
Song Meili, Ou Manqing, and Gu Yunze finally had a chance to speak up, saying, "Comrade Lin Yu is right. What you are doing is illegal and criminal, and you will be punished by law."
Ou Manqing crossed his arms and said, "We are here to support rural development. When we encounter such injustice, I must report it to the higher authorities so that the whole society can pay attention to this matter."
Gu Yunze nodded and said, "I know someone in the county's public security bureau, the captain. I'll take you to report the case later."
In the eyes of the villagers, the educated youth who came from the city were representatives of authority.
These people are knowledgeable, cultured, and well-informed, and what they say is very truthful.
So now the King's parents really realized that what they had done was illegal.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, please don't call the police. We know we were wrong."
"Captain, Captain, please talk to them and tell them not to call the police. We can't go and be taken to the fence."
The Wang family pleaded with tears streaming down their faces, as if they hadn't been the ones who had just been so sarcastic and mean.
Captain Wang An knew they were shameless, but he couldn't do anything about it. If he called the police, his brigade would lose its chance to be recognized as an advanced unit, and they might not be able to enjoy any benefits in the future.
A few bad apples spoil the whole bunch.
"Captain Lin, I know the Wang family did something wrong, and I will give them a good talking-to. Could you please not call the police?"
Lin Aiguo frowned and said righteously, "Captain Wang, your awareness is too low. Do you think this matter can be resolved with criticism and education?"
Wang An understood his meaning and didn't want to plead for the Wang family anymore, so he said, "Wang family, since you made a mistake, you have to apologize. If the Lin family is willing to forgive you, they won't call the police."
The Wang family members quickly apologized to the Lin family, but Grandma Lin raised her chin and said, "What's the use of just apologizing? You have to compensate us."
The Queen Mother's shrill voice said, "What? You want compensation too? Dream on."
"Then call the police. I don't want any compensation." As soon as Grandma Lin said this, Wang's mother shut up again.
The Lin family is now in the right. The Wang family tried to appease them several times without success, and finally agreed to compensate Wang Zhaodi for her medical expenses and the Lin family for their losses, totaling twenty yuan.
The Queen Mother wanted to delay repaying the money, saying she couldn't come up with it all at once and asked the Lin family to be lenient.
Grandma Lin immediately turned around and said, "I don't want the money anymore, I want your whole family to go in and squat."
In the end, Wang's mother had no choice but to give the twenty yuan to Grandma Lin.
The entire Lotus Brigade mobilized this time, and the matter was resolved without any fighting.
When the group of people walked down the road, they were all very proud and high-spirited, as if they had won a battle.
This is the first time that the older women have received such a lesson in knowledge. Before, when had they ever gone out without having to fight to resolve a problem?
This time, Lin Yu and the educated youth managed to fool everyone with just a few words.
And so it was resolved peacefully.
This shows that learning and having a good education are truly important.
This made the brigade members respect the educated youth even more; these kids were all very capable.
The educated youth integrated well into the local team members after that, but that's another story.
At this time, Lin Yu returned with the group and was praised by everyone.
Everyone thought she was brave, resourceful, cultured, and quick-witted, which made Lin Yu feel like she was floating on air.
Upon arriving at Lianhua Brigade, everyone went home, but Lin Yu was still a little reluctant to leave.
When she got home, Lin Jianguo and Wang Zhaodi were not there. Daniu told her that her father had taken her mother to the county hospital.
When Da Niu saw her feverish and weak mother being carried onto the oxcart by her father, her father turned around and told her to stay home and take good care of herself.
But she was really worried, so she waited until the whole family returned before suggesting, "I'll go to the hospital to help take care of my mother."
