That afternoon, the Qianjin Brigade held a general meeting of all members, requiring that everyone who was not bedridden must attend!
So even some elderly people who didn't even leave their homes because of the cold weather were carried, supported, and pulled by their children to the brigade headquarters.
The brigade headquarters, which already felt small on ordinary days, felt even smaller at this time.
Sun Yongfu flew into a rage at the meeting!
Not only did they specifically name and criticize Sun Tieniu's family, saying they were shameful, harbored malicious intentions, and were trying to oppose the brigade and bring shame to it!
Even the deputy captain, Xu Mantian, was implicated.
In fact, Xu Mantian was the one who was wronged.
Because Sun Yongfu had been notified to go to the commune early in the morning, he was temporarily taken to meet with cadres from several other brigades to discuss the list of personnel to repair the dam.
The Forward Brigade and several other brigades were located near the same great river.
We had discussed it some time ago and decided to take advantage of the off-season to widen the river channel and reinforce the dam in preparation for the upcoming flood season.
When Sun Tieniu caused trouble, Xu Mantian was not even in the team.
He even returned a little later than Sun Yongfu.
But even when he was being insulted to his face like that, Xu Mantian didn't utter a sound.
Everyone knows the old village chief is furious, so who would dare to mess with him at this time?
Only after Sun Yongfu had finally finished his rant and was ready to get down to business did Xu Mantian announce the list of people to be sent to repair the dam.
This time, the number of people from the Forward Brigade who were to repair the dam was increased from the initial five to six, and the first one was none other than Sun Tieniu!
A buzz of excitement erupted below the list.
Liu Sannu and her family were completely stunned!
Sun Tieniu, ignoring the bumps on his head from being scolded and the two teeth he had just knocked out, shouted anxiously, "Vice Captain, is there a mistake on this list? I didn't sign up!"
Xu Mantian, with droopy eyelids, didn't even glance at him, and coldly said, "That's right, this list is finalized. Those whose names are called, go back and pack your things. Meet at the riverbank at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Nobody be late, or you'll lose work points!"
Upon hearing the words "work points," Sun Tieniu grasped at them like a lifeline and immediately shouted, "I don't want work points! I'm not going!"
Sun Yongfu, who had just managed to suppress his anger, immediately erupted again!
He rushed straight from the front of the house to Sun Tieniu, who was cowering in the corner, and started hitting him with his pipe without warning!
"Don't want work points? If you don't want work points, who will pay back the grain your family owes the team? Do you think that just because the IOU is signed by your brother and mother, it has nothing to do with you?"
"I'll beat you to death, you lazy bum! You troublemaker!"
When Sun Yongfu first knocked the pipe down, Liu Sannu initially wanted to stop him; she even took a breath, ready to wail loudly.
Then she heard Sun Yongfu talk about signing the IOU.
He immediately swallowed his anger back.
It made her choke and start hiccuping incessantly.
Even so, Liu Sannu simply turned to the side and didn't say anything more.
She's an old woman, half-buried in the ground. If we expect her to work and earn work points, we still owe the team grain. Even if we kill her, she still won't be able to pay it back.
The second son did say he would pay back the debts, but now Liu Sannu doesn't really believe him.
With his wife and mother-in-law controlling him so much, he has to sneak around even when he goes home.
He didn't leave a single penny for his family when he got home.
Expecting him to repay his debts?
Even though Liu Sannu liked her second son very much, she felt there was no hope.
The second son is unreliable; the only one we can count on is the eldest son.
Although the Lunar New Year is only two days away, digging soil and carrying mud in this cold weather is indeed hard work, but at least you can earn work points!
With the work points I've earned during this period, my family might get a bigger share of the grain when it's distributed again.
Clearly, Wang Feng had also thought of what Liu Sannu had thought of.
Because she was unwilling to pay off her brother-in-law's debts, she glared venomously at her mother-in-law, but also shrank back, ignoring her husband who was begging for mercy after being beaten.
That's how it was settled.
Before dawn the next day, Sun Tieniu, feeling extremely aggrieved, went to work with five other people who had volunteered to repair the dam because of their poverty.
The place they were going to was quite a distance from the forward brigade, so they definitely couldn't come back to stay overnight.
This trip will last at least a month, and clearly, the idea of spending a comfortable New Year at home is now an unattainable dream for Sun Tieniu.
When Sun Tieniu was sent to work on dike repairs by the team, Sun Chengcai's life was also difficult.
Those thugs wearing red armbands were taken back to the commune and sent directly to the detention center.
The reason given was that they had trespassed on private property and insulted an advanced family that supports the military and is patriotic.
Such charges can range from minor to serious.
If no one investigates, it's normal to give them a reprimand or a few days of detention before releasing them.
But if someone investigates and insists on dealing with it severely, sending them to a labor camp or prison, it's not impossible for them to be sentenced to several years.
Most importantly, everyone in the commune saw that these people were brought back by Secretary Zheng and his entourage.
Moreover, he was sent to a detention center as soon as he returned.
According to eyewitnesses, Secretary Zheng's face looked extremely grim at the time!
None of the accompanying personnel dared to approach.
In this situation, it's obvious what the final outcome will be for these people. You don't even need to think about it; even a fool could figure it out!
Now, the families of those thugs are in a panic!
Even if these people are scoundrels, the fact that their families can pull strings and get them government jobs at least shows that their families value them.
Two of them are only children in their families.
This kid was perfectly fine this morning, going out to work as usual, and now he's going to jail tonight?
Which company could withstand this if they found out!
They immediately ran out to find out what had happened.
After making some inquiries, it turned out that the root of the problem lay with Sun, the new clerk at the seed station.
Sun Chengcai's reputation as the Chen Shimei of the new era is well-deserved; everyone in the entire commune knows him.
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that these children had been instigated by Clerk Sun to go to the Qianjin Brigade, and had even broken into the home of his ex-wife, Shiyue.
What else is there that you don't understand?
Sun Chengcai is using his position to settle personal scores and is using his own child as a pawn!
Once everyone understood the intricacies of the situation, they were all furious!
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Come on, everyone, follow me and kill that son of a bitch!"
So it was as if a rebellion had been launched, and a dozen or so people followed behind that person.
It's not time to leave work yet.
Sun Cheng sat in his office, sipping his tea with relish, while imagining the scene when those people broke into Shiyue's house.
The more I think about it, the more relieved I feel.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
As the least experienced newcomer at the seed station, he was naturally the first to stand up and go out to find out what was going on.
As soon as I stepped outside, a bucket of foul-smelling stuff was poured over my head!
