Chapter 78: My body has long been failing.
What happened at the educated youth settlement couldn't be kept secret at all, so after Shen Yuzhu and the others comforted Wang Liping, they all went about their business. Shen Yuzhu went to the Lü family and explained the whole story.
Qiao Wangshu took an oxcart directly to the garrison to find Bai Chunyang, feeling that this matter must still be related to Qiao Nianyu.
Liang Manxiu stood guard beside Wang Liping, holding a rolling pin in her hand. She would slap anyone who was being sarcastic or mean. She slapped several sarcastic people that evening. She had nothing to lose, so what was there to be afraid of?
Moreover, this was a task assigned to her by Yuzhu, and since Yuzhu trusted her, she would definitely take good care of Wang Liping.
When Lü Guangzhi heard that someone in the educated youth settlement was causing trouble again, he was so angry that he almost smashed a bowl. Qian Cuilian slammed her hand on the table in distress, which stopped this violent act.
Li Wang, Zhou Li, and Lü Jianshe carefully circled around various easy hiding places in Xiangyang Village, keeping watch until nightfall before finally catching the two men.
They immediately started beating each other without the slightest hesitation.
Inside the brigade headquarters.
The sack was removed, and everyone could finally see who the two people who had done the trick were.
Zhu Xinmei was an older educated youth. She didn't have a good reputation. She was plain-looking, but she had a very good figure. She walked with a swaying gait. In the eyes of the women, she was the epitome of flirtatiousness.
At first, she tried to get someone to help her get a spot at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but the person who helped her only took advantage of the situation and didn't give her any benefits. Later, the commune changed its leadership, and she didn't get any benefits and her reputation was ruined.
It wasn't that no good families were proposing marriage to her, but she always felt that she could return to the city, so she continued to stay at the educated youth settlement. Unlike Wang Liping and other educated youth who worked honestly, she had several lovers and didn't lack food or money.
These are all things done behind people's backs. There were some rumors, but since no one caught them doing it, everyone maintained a superficial harmony.
After seeing Lü Guangkun, everyone's eyes turned to Lü Guangzhi.
Lu Guangzhi trembled with anger. This man was none other than the only son of his third uncle, a notorious lazybones in the village.
Through Lü Guangzhi's connections, he got a job as a gatekeeper at a steel plant in the county town.
He worked sporadically, and for this, Lü Guangzhi had to bow and apologize to the steel mill leaders countless times. After all, Lü Guangkun's father had given his only food ration to his father during the famine!
Lu Guangkun's mother had already passed away early, and his father was also gone.
So when he was very young, they took him into their home and treated him like their own younger brother. When he was a child, his parents never let Lü Guangkun do any chores. Who would have thought that at this age, he would do such a shameful thing with the people from the educated youth settlement?
"You, you bastard, how old are you? How could you..."
"Brother, big brother, it was this woman who seduced me! I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything! My body is too weak to handle anything anymore. I just... touched her a little."
Um? ? ?
Hearing these indecent words, Lü Guangzhi quickly slapped him across the face.
Shen Yuzhu and the others looked at Lü Guangkun with mixed feelings. He was such a shameless old man. There were women in the room, and he dared to blurt out anything.
Lü Guangzhi was so embarrassed that he wished he could shrink into his shell, if he had one.
"No, no, I was tricked! I'm so young. Grandpa Lü said he needed to talk to me, so I went out. But as soon as I entered the woods, he grabbed me and hugged me. Waaah... I'm the victim!"
"You filthy woman, how dare you frame me? You bastard, who in the village hasn't slept with you? You call yourself a victim? You'll suffer for nothing."
"!!!!"
Lü Guangzhi and the others: "......."
Oh no! You can't say that! They're all innocent, as innocent as can be!!!
"Stop howling! Your crying is like boiling water. We heard everything you said in the woods. Tell us, why did you drug Qiao Zhiqing? Who ordered it?"
Lu Jianshe was furious. He thought he could help Shen Yuzhu, but he ended up losing face so badly.
He didn't have much affection for this uncle. Anyway, he hadn't eaten any food from his third grandfather's family. Even if he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, he should have done so by now. He couldn't blame the uncle.
The pleas for mercy and screams stopped abruptly, and the two men stared wide-eyed as if they had grabbed a chicken by the neck.
Bai Chunyang had already questioned Qiao Nianyu, and after interrogating her, he learned that she had nothing to do with the matter, but it couldn't be said that she had absolutely no connection to it. He was then beaten up by Qiao Nianyu before he hurriedly brought Wang Shu here.
“I am Qiao Wangshu’s older sister, and I work in the garrison. You’d better think carefully before you speak, or you can choose between the farm and the fence.”
She was wearing a military uniform and walked over with great presence. Zhu Xinmei had been feeling anxious ever since she left the educated youth settlement, and her mental defenses had long since weakened.
Shen Yuzhu noticed it and sighed softly.
"Hey, I heard that the police are really strict when they interrogate prisoners. They pour chili water down their throats, make them sit on the tiger bench, and whip them. I heard that there is a kind of torture where they put rats in their trouser legs, then tighten the trouser legs and belt, and let the person's legs and feet be gnawed. If you're lucky, you'll survive, but if you're unlucky and get sick, you'll die."
Everyone: "......"
How could you say such a thing with that compassionate face?!
This statement is only meant to scare people who have never traveled far from home. These days, all government departments and public officials are prohibited from using any violent interrogation methods; this is written into the regulations.
But what Lü Guangkun didn't know was that Zhu Xinmei also believed it.
After all, it concerns Qiao Wangshu. Who knows if her sister will put in a good word for her with the police? And Shen Yuzhu, her boyfriend seems quite capable. If they all help Qiao Wangshu, she's finished, completely finished.
"I, I'll talk, I'll talk, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me! I just wanted a kickback. It was that old bastard Lü Guangkun who gave me the drug. He only told me to put it in Qiao Zhiqing's food and drink. I really don't know anything else!"
"You bitch, you took so many benefits from me, and you dare to pin it all on me? It's all because you kept telling me that Qiao Wangshu and the others were well-fed and well-clothed, and you were unhappy about it. That's why I only let you do it when someone came to me. Damn it, now you're blaming me for everything. You're not getting away with it."
"Damn it, you old bastard, you're right about one thing, you're just no good. Other people can take longer to pee than you can sit on the bed. What good are you?"
Everyone: "..."
Cough cough... This is really disgusting to say!!!
The two were arguing fiercely, like dogs fighting. Lu Guangkun only said that the person was some big shot, and that the person's accent was a bit heavy. After thinking for a while, he pointed to Bai Chunyang and Qiao Wangshu and said that he spoke similarly to them.
The two sisters simultaneously thought of the same person, and when they looked at each other, they both saw the pain in their eyes.
