Not only that, Accountant Zhang often traded corn flour for white flour, and the women's director once exchanged grain for a gold ring on Liu Zhiqing's hand.
And Captain Lin, how much did you exchange for corn flour? Do you want me to count them one by one for you?
If I exchange rabbit meat for cornmeal, it would be considered a crime of speculation.
Then everyone at the scene, including you, Captain Lin, must be arrested like me and sent to the commune for trial..."
Ta-ta-ta…
Lin Huowang's series of "fire attacks" can be said to have covered the entire area, implicating almost all the villagers and educated youth.
yes!
Living in a small collective like a rural production team, villagers often barter with each other. Who hasn't exchanged daily necessities and food?
In essence, what is the difference between this exchange and Lin Huowang's exchange of rabbits for food?
"Lin Huowang! You are... making trouble."
Lin Jianguo's forehead was covered with sweat. He really didn't expect that Lin Huowang's "wrong logic" was so powerful.
It made such a big circle that it encircled everyone in the village.
"Captain Lin, you know best whether I am being unreasonable or not.
If you think something I said is wrong, you can point it out.
Or, come on! You guys can catch me!
When I arrived at the commune, I personally reported to the commune director that there was widespread and large-scale illegal speculation in Linjiagou..."
Wow!
I have to say, sometimes when one's mouth becomes really powerful, it can really kill or scare people to death.
When the villagers present heard that Lin Huowang was going to report the matter to the commune, they all became anxious.
Originally, only Lin Huowang was arrested, and they could all watch the fun peacefully.
But now we are really going to be implicated, and if the forest fire gets out of hand, all the villagers in Linjiagou will be charged with speculation, and that will not be fun.
So...
For their own sake, these villagers began to speak up for Lin Huowang.
"Captain, I think we are mistaken. How can you accuse Awang of speculation when he is just exchanging the rabbits he picked for some food?"
"That's right! If you really take Awang to the commune, you'll be a laughing stock, captain. It's just a matter of two rabbits..."
"Captain, I think we should just say a few words to him. If the incident really gets to the commune, it will bring bad reputation to our production team."
…
Seeing the change in the wind direction at the scene, Lin Jianguo suddenly felt that the situation was becoming very difficult.
Originally, in his opinion, as the production team leader, it would be easy for him to deal with the cripple Lin Huowang, right?
One crime of speculation can take away and kill a cripple.
By then, wouldn't Liu Rumeng, who had left the educated youth compound and had no one to rely on, be more easily manipulated by him?
But now, the damn cripple was so eloquent that he dragged the entire village into the crime of "speculation and profiteering".
In this case, it is obviously unrealistic to use "speculation and profiteering" to deal with him.
How can I ruthlessly trick the cripple? It would be best to kill him as soon as possible...
Lin Jianguo narrowed his eyes and saw the two half-eaten rabbits. Suddenly, he began to feel evil again.
"Okay! Lin Huowang, I admit that what you said makes sense.
It's just a simple exchange of some food or something, and everyone in the village does the same, so it doesn't really constitute the crime of speculation.
But, can you catch or pick up this hare whenever you want?
All the resources in the mountains and forests belong to the country and the Party in a broad sense, and to our Linjiagou Production Team in a narrow sense.
If you pick up a wild rabbit but don't hand it in, but instead deal with it privately, you are embezzling collective assets."
Lin Jianguo was able to occupy the position of production team leader throughout the turbulent years, so naturally his ability in framing people and accusing them of crimes was first-rate.
But when he heard him say this, Lin Huowang was overjoyed, because he was waiting for Lin Jianguo to bring up this matter today.
However, Lin Huowang did not show his joy and continued to argue with Lin Jianguo:
"Rabbits are harmful to crops, Captain, I remember the team sent out a notice before!
If you can catch any wild game such as field mice, rabbits, wild boars, etc. that may harm crops, you can take them home and eat them.
It depends on your ability, no matter how many you catch.
How come when it comes to me, I caught two rabbits and they say I am encroaching on collective assets?"
"That's during the busy farming season. Now the crops in the fields have been harvested."
Lin Jianguo also slowed down his tone at this time, slowly tricked Lin Huowang, and said, "Now if you want to bring the game you hunt home, you have to be a mountain ranger in the village.
Responsible for patrolling and hunting in our back mountains and dense forests, otherwise..."
At this point, Lin Jianguo pointed at the cornmeal and eggs in Liu Rumeng's hand and threatened: "Otherwise, the food and eggs you exchanged must be confiscated! They belong to the collective!"
Yes!
Lin Jianguo had a good plan in mind, which was to force Lin Huowang to become a mountain keeper.
In his opinion, as long as Lin Huowang accepted the task of mountain guard, he would have one foot at the gate of hell and would definitely not survive the winter.
By then, Liu Rumeng will be a complete widow. Wouldn't it be easy to play with her? You can play with her however you want.
"No! These grains cannot be confiscated."
Upon hearing this, Lin Huowang quickly protected Liu Rumeng and the food behind him.
Then, pretending to be entangled and hesitant, he reluctantly agreed:
"Okay, Captain, since you force me like this.
Then I will definitely be the mountain guard!
I would like to ask all the elders and fellow villagers to be my witnesses here.
From now on, any prey I, Lin Huowang, hunt from the mountains will be my legitimate reward as a mountain ranger."
