Chapter 104: Tian Jing is a bad apple?
Tian Jing's face was full of resentment, but when she looked up, she looked aggrieved. With tears in her eyes, she cried, "Secretary, I really didn't do that. I... I was just... looking for evidence of the Gu family's ill intentions!"
"Evidence of ill intentions?" Wang Fu paused in his cigarette smoking, his tone full of doubt.
A hint of surprise appeared in Gu Yuehuai's dark eyes. She really didn't expect that Tian Jing's desire to survive was so strong that in order to avoid this predicament, she actually wanted to expose the gold antiques here.
"Secretary, the Gu family...the ancestors of the Gu family were landlords. Everyone should know this, right?" She wiped her tears, stood up, walked to the vegetable field that had been turned into pieces, and whispered, "Here, the Gu family's treasure is buried."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Gu Zhifeng's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Tian Jing in disbelief.
Even he didn't know about this, so where did Tian Jing hear about it?
Wang Fu stopped smoking his pipe and looked at Tian Jing in shock: "What are you talking about, girl?"
Tian Jing has now calmed down completely. She stepped on the ground and said loudly, "The landlords exploited the peasants. Even after being overthrown, they are still alive. Here is the treasure that Gu Zhifeng's family will use to make a comeback!"
If everyone was just skeptical just now, then they were in an uproar after hearing Tian Jing's words.
"Is Tian Jia Nizi crazy? How can she say such nonsense?"
"I don't think so. The ancestors of the Gu family were landlords. Haven't you heard that even Gu Zhifeng's adopted brothers and sisters came out to testify? The Gu family has no conscience. Isn't it normal for such people to leave a way out for themselves?"
"Tsk, I was wondering how this family could have built a house when they were so careless before, it turns out they didn't turn in all the money!"
"Secretary, this matter cannot be tolerated. Who knows what the Gu family is planning? Do they want to become landlords again?"
“…”
For a moment, the incident of Tian Jing destroying the vegetable garden and attempting to steal was suppressed in an instant. All the members were outraged, their voices filled with anger, staring at Gu Zhifeng, Gu Tinghuai and Gu Yuehuai.
Once upon a time, in the eyes of landlords, farmers and tenants were not even considered human beings, and were even less valuable than livestock.
If they really go back to the days when they were exploited by landlords, they might as well die!
Wang Fu took a deep breath and took a puff of his pipe. After a while, he raised his hand to stop the members from scolding and talking.
He looked at Tian Jing and said in a serious voice: "Tian Jia Ni'er, don't say anything careless."
Tian Jing suddenly sneered and raised her voice so that everyone could hear her clearly: "I'm not talking nonsense! It's a fact that the Gu family has bad intentions. What I did today was just to expose their ugly faces to the public!"
Hearing these righteous and lofty words, Gu Yuehuai almost laughed out loud.
Gu Zhifeng was so angry that her hands were shaking: "You are so young, and you are talking nonsense. If you really want this, why didn't you explain it clearly just now? Why did you kowtow to my daughter and admit your mistake? And I didn't even know about this, how did you know?"
Gu Tinghuai also frowned and sternly scolded: "Tian Jing, God is watching what you do, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"That's right, some people just have a big mouth." Gu Xihuai also crossed his chest and sneered. If his family really had a treasure, could he live like this?
Tian Jing is really not a good person as she tells lies without blinking an eye.
Tian Jing was very calm. She said, "You don't know? Uncle Gu, it's not good to speak too early. Didn't you bury this treasure with your own hands? I saw it with my own eyes when I was a child. Don't quibble anymore."
Gu Zhifeng's mouth twitched, and he was stunned by Tian Jing's words.
If he was not the person involved, looking at Tian Jing's expression, he would probably have believed her nonsense.
At this time, a burst of light applause rang out.
Tian Jing turned to look at Gu Yuehuai who was applauding. She had a smile on her face and was not at all flustered.
Gu Yuehuai said with a half-smile: "Tian Jing, you still remember things from your childhood. Your memory is really good."
Then, she changed the subject: "Secretary, I wonder what the punishment will be for slandering class comrades?"
Wang Fu glanced at Gu Yuehuai. His impression of her had improved a lot during this period. After hearing this, he thought deeply, "If she slanders class comrades, the team will hold a criticism meeting and take Tian Jing out alone for education."
Gu Yuehuai nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "If what she said is false, then it proves that Tian Jing destroyed my vegetable garden tonight and stole it. She needs to compensate my family for the loss and do labor education."
Once these words were spoken, they caused quite a stir.
Re-education through labor is a form of punishment.
In those days, the members had no future no matter what they did; they could only be tied to the production team and be under the team's control.
Those who commit crimes such as stealing and fighting will be publicly criticized and educated, while those with serious circumstances will be subject to labor education. The punishment will not be made by the team, but will be reported and taken to the labor camp.
However, the duration of re-education through labor is not long, usually half a year or a year, and will not exceed three years.
Tian Jing's expression also changed. If she hadn't actually read the novel and knew all the details in it, she would have been scared to the point of retorting by Gu Yuehuai's words.
She was sure that the Gu family's treasure was in this land!
Wang Fu was also shocked by Gu Yuehuai's words, and began to doubt Tian Jing's words.
He frowned and puffed on his pipe. After a while, he looked up at Tian Jing: "Do you have any opinion on what Xiao Gu said?"
Tian Jing bit her lip and said, "I really saw it when I was a child. I have a very clear memory of it, but who knows if they will move the treasure to another place during the process? I can't say for sure. If they hide the treasure somewhere else, will they punish me?"
She is not a fool. Even if she is sure that the treasure is here, she cannot leave herself no way out.
Gu Yuehuai suddenly let out a short laugh: "Tian Jing, you've said all the right and wrong things, so why should we just sit there like wooden men and let you throw dirty water on us? If everyone in the team can just accuse others of crimes like you, how can we still work together? What does collective labor rely on? It relies on the sincere enthusiasm of the members!"
"What's the difference between someone like you and rat shit?"
As he spoke, Gu Yuehuai glanced up and down at Tian Jing with disdain.
She has always been good at talking, so naturally she wouldn't let Tian Jing get the upper hand.
Sure enough, these words calmed down the crowd who were originally excited about the topic of "landlords". They looked at each other and looked at Tian Jing with suspicion.
"I..." Tian Jing gritted her teeth, but didn't know how to defend herself.
Wang Fu waved his hands and said seriously, "Okay, let's do as Xiao Gu said. Go, grab your weapons, and dig!"
Several young men agreed to do it. On the way they came, they said they were going to catch a thief. They all carried farm tools and were good at working. They started digging the ground with hoes. After a while, the small vegetable garden was turned upside down.
