Chapter 107: Political Commissar Sun Lost Money and Lost His Post
"Sister Ruan, I was wrong before. I apologize to you. Please forgive me!"
After saying that, she stuffed a few more eggplants and loofahs into Ruan Yuntang's hands and ran away.
Ruan Yuntang was stunned for a few seconds, and she finally experienced the benefits brought to her by her husband's hard work.
Even Wang Po, who had originally been at odds with her, walked with her head down when she saw her.
When Ruan Yuntang walked to her yard, her hands were already full, all given by those who had provoked her.
There was no hand to open the door. She was about to put her things down when a pair of hands suddenly appeared behind her and opened the door for her.
"Thanks--"
Ruan Yuntang's words were stuck in surprise when he saw Aunt Sun's face.
Aunt Sun didn't care, and even enthusiastically took a few large pumpkins from her hands and said with a smile: "I'll help you carry them in."
Ruan Yuntang took back the pumpkin and said sarcastically:
"How dare I let Aunt Sun do this? If you sprain your waist here, won't you blame me for pushing you?"
Aunt Sun's face froze, and she laughed dryly, "How could that be? I was blind this morning and didn't see clearly."
Ruan Yuntang was too lazy to pay attention to her and was about to close the door after entering the room, but Aunt Sun took the opportunity to squeeze in and blocked the gap in the door with her body.
Ruan Yuntang was so scared that he quickly let go of his hand.
The door opened again, and Aunt Sun took the opportunity to squeeze in, took out a newspaper from her trouser pocket and handed it over.
"Comrade Ruan, look, my son has also written a statement of clarification, but our family simply can't afford the 1,000 yuan compensation! Can you please offer a lower amount?"
Ruan Yuntang looked at the clarification document that could only be found with a magnifying glass, and stuffed the newspaper back into her hands with an expressionless face, "No."
Aunt Sun's smile froze, and she began to wipe away her tears again.
"Comrade Ruan, look, your husband has made great achievements, and you can enjoy the good life with him. You will have everything you want in the future!"
"But my son is still sick in bed and can't get out of bed, and my job is almost gone!"
"Now our whole family depends on the hard-earned money I earn at the factory. Even if it costs me my life, I can't give you a thousand!"
After listening to this, Ruan Yuntang understood that this was a combination of playing the victim and moral kidnapping!
She sneered, "What does your family's hardship have to do with me? Isn't that your own fault?"
"And what does my husband's meritorious service have to do with you? Why shouldn't I be compensated just because I'm living a good life?"
"You're old, but you're really thick-skinned!"
"You——" Aunt Sun's face turned red and she gritted her teeth in anger.
Seeing Ruan Yuntang was about to close the door again, her eyes turned cold, and she went straight to the middle of the door crack, rolling around, and howling at the top of her lungs:
"Comrade Ruan, I beg you! Please spare my aunt's life!"
"If you really need money, send me to sell blood!"
…
These dry howls woke up everyone in the entire family compound.
When Aunt Sun saw this, she cried even louder.
This time, the people in the family compound just watched the excitement from afar, but did not come over to speak for her.
Aunt Sun howled until her voice was hoarse, and Ruan Yuntang also went into the house, and no one paid any attention to her.
When she thought of the thousand yuan, she made up her mind and took out a piece of white silk from her trouser pocket.
"Since my son's apology is useless, I, an old woman, will die as a token of my apology!"
As she spoke, she swung the white silk and hung it at the door of Ruan Yuntang's courtyard.
In an instant, the faces of those who were watching the excitement from afar changed drastically. They hurried over to grab her arm to stop her and shouted towards the yard,
"Comrade Ruan! Come out and take a look! Someone's about to die!"
Ruan Yuntang came out of the kitchen and saw the scene at the door. He walked out with a frown.
"If you don't want to pay, then don't pay. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Aunt Sun's eyes lit up instantly, but she still pretended to cry.
"It's not that I don't want to, but our family is struggling to make ends meet. Your sister cheated us out of 500 yuan and we still haven't gotten it back. How can we afford to give you another 1,000 yuan..."
These words also aroused the sympathy of the sisters-in-law on both sides.
Although Aunt Sun is known for her unreasonableness, this incident would be a heavy blow to anyone's family. No wonder she was forced to hang herself.
In an instant, several people surrounded her and tried to persuade her.
"Auntie, didn't Comrade Ruan already say that he doesn't want you to pay any compensation? Don't be so upset!"
"Yes, yes, sister Sun, life must go on!"
…
Half an hour passed. Aunt Sun felt very happy listening to these words of comfort. Just as she was about to pour out her grievances again, she suddenly heard a loud shout from a distance.
"You shameful thing, get back here!"
When Aunt Sun heard her husband's voice, she shuddered all over. The crowd automatically parted and she looked up, only to see Sun Dafu and a group of military cadres standing not far away with sullen faces.
The sisters-in-law who had just been comforting her were also scolded by their husbands.
Aunt Sun looked at Ruan Yuntang standing behind several cadres and her face turned blue with anger.
She was trying to commit suicide, and this damn girl actually dared to complain!
She was just pretending, but now she really wants to die.
She walked over with her old legs stiff, but before she got close, she heard her husband yell:
"Why don't you quickly apologize to Comrade Ruan and compensate him?"
Aunt Sun immediately got angry and shouted at Ruan Yuntang:
"Didn't you just say you didn't want it anymore? How could you lie?"
"I mean don't do it. It's quite easy to report the case again anyway." Ruan Yuntang said indifferently.
Aunt Sun's eyes widened immediately, "You——"
"You damn girl! How dare you lie to me!" she collapsed and screamed.
A group of cadres couldn't bear to see her go crazy. The older cadres said to Sun Dafu coldly:
"I don't think you need to appeal. Why are you training as a soldier when you can't even manage your own family?"
After saying that, the man turned and left.
Sun Dafu's face turned pale. He chased after her for several steps but it was no use. Finally, he came to Aunt Sun with a panicked look on his face.
"Apologize and pay compensation!" he gritted his teeth.
Aunt Sun was frightened by his depressed look, but still unwilling to give in, she whispered:
"Do you know that we only have one thousand left in the family? If we give this money away, how will our son get married? How will we live?"
Sun Dafu glared at her fiercely, "Do you want your son to go to jail?"
"Aren't you the political commissar? You should try to find some connections!" Aunt Sun said unhappily.
Sun Dafu suddenly smiled in panic, feeling that he should not have married this brainless wife just to please his superiors.
"I'm going back home to farm, how can I find connections?" He yelled with red eyes.
"I asked you to come to Ruan Yuntang to apologize and pay compensation, and you just used a white silk to pay?"
"If you want to die, go back to your mother's house and die. Don't die here and affect me!"
He spit all over Aunt Sun's face, but she didn't spit back as usual. Instead, she stood there in shock for a long while and asked:
"You...what did you say? Why are you going home to farm?"
"It's all your and your good son's fault!" Sun Dafu collapsed and yelled.
