Zhang Jianhua smiled wryly, knowing that this matter couldn't be resolved without some financial sacrifice.
"Comrade Lin Yu, please stop talking. It was our fault. We will compensate you."
Zhang Wu objected: "Uncle...Director Zhang, how can she just say how much she wants? Seven or eight hundred yuan! How dare she..."
Yes, she's daring, and if this matter isn't handled properly, she'll report it all.
Although the higher-ups have always been lenient with them, now that the people are in charge, according to Lin Yu, they are all robbers, wolves and tigers that oppress the people.
That's...
The group trembled as they recalled the horrific conditions of those they had arrested.
Zhang Wu's voice trembled: "Give...we give..."
...
Lin Yu and Lu Yunfeng were respectfully seen off by Zhang Wu and the others from the cabinet committee's gate.
I reckon these people won't dare mess with the Lotus Brigade again.
After they walked a distance away, Lu Yunfeng gave her a thumbs up: "You're really something."
By using him as a backdrop and relying solely on her own words, she was able to obtain such a large sum of money.
Seeing those people pull out their money made my heart ache.
Lin Yu shook her head: "If you split it up, how much will each of them contribute? It's not a serious financial loss yet. These people are very wealthy."
At this point, Lu Yunfeng's expression also darkened. Where did those people get their money? They just robbed it from other people's homes.
Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, let's talk about what to do with this money."
"Wasn't it supposed to be compensation for the morale of your entire brigade?"
Lin Yu shook her head, "I'll only take the compensation for the damaged items; I don't want the rest."
That money wasn't clean; taking it would hurt my conscience.
"Please handle this for me and give it to someone who needs help."
The commune secretary, of course, has his own methods.
Lu Yunfeng felt a sudden shock, "You..."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "I understand the principle that a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way."
Back in her office, she counted out 51.2 yuan and handed the rest to Lu Yunfeng.
Gu Yunze listened to their account of what had happened that day, his eyes revealing admiration.
Lin Yu grinned at him, then suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, I just saw those few sheets of paper with the Cabinet Committee interrogation records."
Lu Yunfeng recalled the table she had smashed...
"Several pages inside listed several people who died mysteriously after being interrogated once, all with the cause listed as suicide out of fear of punishment."
Gu Yunze and Lu Yunfeng exchanged a glance and looked at each other directly.
"Did you see the date?"
"It was probably from the end of last year to the beginning of this year."
Lu Yunfeng paced back and forth, looking at Gu Yunze and saying, "Hu Youcai, we must move him immediately!"
"Okay, I'll go now."
"Xiaoyu, go home by yourself later, be careful." He only had time to say that before he was gone like the wind.
Lin Yu stared at Lu Yunfeng with wide eyes: "What's going on?"
Lu Yunfeng felt that she was now one of their own, and had helped them many times, so he told her the truth:
"That time happened right when I was exposed to the public, and the series of bizarre deaths indicated that those people knew something important."
Lin Yufu suddenly realized: "The Cabinet Committee also has..."
"Um."
Lin Yu frowned. "What should we do about this? Will Gu Yunze be in danger?"
Lu Yunfeng looked at a potted plant with his hands behind his back: "This is a soldier's mission."
Regardless of whether there is danger or not, it is something he has to do.
In fact, there is no mission without the risk to one's life.
"But this time it should be alright, since they are in the open now, while Lao Gu is in the shadows."
Lin Yu, still worried, nodded: "Okay."
There was nothing she could do to help; all she could do was pray for his safety.
...
Lin Yu returned to Lianhua Brigade with worries, and Lin Aiguo stood in the yard with his hands behind his back waiting for her.
"Xiaoyu, you're finally back."
After walking all day, he felt increasingly uneasy. This child wasn't obedient; he might actually go to the cabinet committee.
Thinking of Lin Laosan's wicked grin, he became even more worried.
"Uncle, I'm back."
When he learned that she had actually gone to ask for compensation, Lin Aiguo felt as if one of the shoes had finally dropped.
When Grandma Lin found out, she put her hands on her hips, about to scold her.
"Don't scold me yet, don't scold me yet, I really got the compensation back."
She placed the money on the table: "This is to compensate for the eggs, this is for the cabbage, and these are to compensate for the vermicelli from our workshop."
The whole family was astonished: "How did you get the money?"
Grandma Lin's focus was on the money: "Where would I get so much money for eggs?"
An egg now costs three to four cents.
Lin Yu told her, "It's five cents per pill, two pills a day, that'll cover seven days."
Similarly, there are Chinese cabbage and glass noodles.
Lin Yu also told them how she got the money.
Lin Aiguo frowned and said, "Why did you go to see the Party Secretary again?"
He Xiaofeng was only able to work in the workshop because the Party Secretary issued her a certificate.
Lin Yu didn't want to talk about the relationship between the Party Secretary and Gu Yunze, so she only said, "The Party Secretary cares about our brigade."
Lin Yu told them that she had received compensation for emotional distress, but she didn't take the dirty money; she gave it to the secretary to do good deeds.
Lin Aiguo was satisfied; his child still knew how to distinguish right from wrong.
"Well done, you're one of our Lin family."
Lin Laosan and Shen Zhinian also felt proud.
This is their child, brave, resourceful, and with a conscience.
After Lin Yi and Er Niu learned that someone had lost money on the cabbage, they were finally less heartbroken.
Lin Yi finished reading all the basic physics materials Gu Yunze had given him, and then asked Lin Yu, "When is Gu Zhiqing coming back?"
Little did Lin Yu know that his missions were all carried out in secret, and even Lu Yunfeng sometimes didn't know what he was doing.
At this moment, Gu Yunze, along with his men who had been lurking in the county town for many days, entered the cabinet committee.
After a struggle, they finally managed to move Hu Youcai to their own location.
Hu Youcai, thinking he was still in the cabinet committee, loudly proclaimed that he knew which leader's private information.
Gu Yunze and his partner exchanged a glance, both feeling that there was a lot to explore about this person...
Hu Youcai was locked in a dark interrogation room. Someone opened the door, and sunlight shone on his face, allowing him to briefly feel the outside air.
His eyes adjusted for a while before he could see the man sitting opposite him through the iron bars on the window.
"You, you're that...educated youth?"
He would have stood up in shock if he hadn't been handcuffed.
"What are you doing here? No, you're not a sent-down youth..."
He had seen this educated youth in the brigade before. He was said to be a rich young master from the city, but he worked very hard and just didn't like to talk much.
It doesn't have a very strong presence.
Hu Youcai, now recalling the events, looked around and asked, "Isn't this the Cabinet Committee meeting?"
The place he was in just two days ago wasn't like this.
It's darker and more humid here, giving it a cool feeling.
