Chapter 65 Big Mouth
The yard door was kicked down when Wang Guilan came in.
At this time, a group of people were standing at the gate of the yard. In the front was Secretary Wu, and next to him stood a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and glasses, and a female comrade wearing a coat and also glasses.
There were a lot of people following closely behind, some familiar and some unfamiliar. The large group of people just happened to witness the heroic figure of Wang Guilan smashing the bowl.
Looking again, the yard was in a mess, bamboo and mud were everywhere, the tables and chairs in the main room were overturned, and some people were carrying sweet potato bags and some were running out with bedding in their arms...
It was a complete robbery, no explanation needed.
"Wang Guilan, what are you doing? Are you trying to confiscate the property of a wealthy landlord?"
Secretary Wu's eyes were red and he roared with gritted teeth, wishing he could tie up these good-for-nothings on the spot.
Today was supposed to be the most glorious day for Yunshan Village, and also the most glorious day for him since he became the village party secretary for so many years.
Reporters from the province, leaders from the county, and the commune even sent out a special gong and drum team, all to promote Yunshan Village.
The secretary of the commune hinted to him at the meeting yesterday that the selection process was just a formality. If nothing unexpected happens, Yunshan Village will be an "advanced village" this year. Not only will all policies be tilted, the village can add more equipment and pay less public grain, and it can also be allocated a quota for workers, peasants and soldiers to get college students. When it comes to the village, he has the final say...
Just now, the county leader said in his speech that the people here are simple and honest, and their thinking is progressive. It is a mountain village that produces heroes, and he called on other villages to learn from Yunshan Village...
As a result, before the leader left and the reporter finished the interview, this motherfucker brought people to smash the "hero's" house.
Wang Guilan was stunned for a moment when she saw a large group of people coming to the gate of the yard, but she was just an illiterate peasant woman who was born and raised in the countryside, so she didn't care about all the twists and turns. She was even a little scared when she saw Secretary Wu, and she didn't care about the people standing next to her at all, because they had no right to record work points and distribute grain.
"Secretary Wu, why are you here? I'm here to take care of my daughter, there's no need for you to come here in person! Go and do your work!"
"Wang Guilan! How are you disciplining your daughter? How can you call that discipline if you destroy the house? Clean it up quickly!" Party Secretary Wu said sternly.
"Secretary Wu, I know that the people here are journalists and leaders, but my family affairs have no right for outsiders to interfere! My daughter is unfilial, and I don't even want to educate her. This logic doesn't make sense!" Wang Guilan looked disdainful.
"Tong Ya is a hero who bravely stood up for justice! She brought honor to our village! How could she be so unfilial! You stupid woman, take your people and leave now!"
Secretary Wu looked at Wang Guilan's stupidity and wanted to slap her a few times. The trivial matters in his Wu Dashan's family were not something that could be made public. He did not even dare to mention them when making reports in the village, for fear of damaging the image of a hero and affecting the evaluation of the "Advanced Village"!
This woman is so good, she keeps bringing up things that are not related to the topic, as if she is afraid that others don’t know about the dirty things in her family!
Besides, if you want to make a fuss, can't you wait until the ceremony is over?
He had to make trouble right under the noses of leaders and reporters, which was simply stomping on the face of the village party secretary!
Unfortunately, Wang Guilan didn't understand Secretary Wu's hint at all. She put her hands on her waist and said with a fierce face:
"Secretary Wu! You don't know how capable my daughter is! A few days ago, she left the old Wu's house empty-handed, and she came back to buy bedding and thermos bottles. Every time she goes to town, she brings back big and small bags! Yesterday, she even bought a large basket of meat...
Humph! You want to take the bonus without my knowledge? Forget it! I worked so hard to raise my daughter! This is the least you should do as a filial son! Comrade reporters! Leaders! Please give me some advice on this matter!"
Wang Guilan stretched out her voice, looking bitter and resentful, and still hoped that her leader would seek justice for her.
Secretary Wu was sweating profusely in the middle of winter. "Wang Guilan! You went up there and wore the red flower and silk banner yourself! This is an honor! Honor, don't you understand? Who told you there would be a bonus? If there was, wouldn't it have been given to you? You haven't even figured it out, so why are you making a fuss here? You're causing trouble!"
Secretary Wu really didn't know about the bonus. The early payment of the bonus to "Wu Tong" was discussed by Jiang Pinglu and comrades in the county. All the necessary procedures were completed and "Wu Tong" herself signed. Considering her family situation, it was decided not to make the matter public to avoid trouble.
The several unfamiliar comrades who came with Secretary Wu all stared at the messy yard with wide eyes, not knowing what had happened.
Just now, a young comrade from the village ran to tell them that Comrade Wu Tong was fully prepared and hoped to be interviewed at home to talk about her growth experience, hoping to help more young people...
Look! What a good statement! You can tell at a glance that he is a progressive young man with consciousness and ideas...
When reporter Xiao Zhang heard that the hero was willing to be interviewed, he packed up and prepared to rush over. Minister Li of the county propaganda department saw that although the award had been awarded to the hero's family, the hero had not yet met, so he might as well go over and congratulate him in person! Mayor Yang saw that Minister Li had gone, so he had to go too!
So, reporters and leaders at all levels all stood here.
Wang Guilan was also lucky enough. She smashed a house with great fanfare and attracted a group of top-level audiences.
"Isn't this Comrade Wang Guilan the mother of Comrade Wu Tong? Then whose home is this?" Minister Li asked first.
"This, this is Wu Tong's home." Secretary Wu wiped his sweat.
Ma Daming had been standing aside for a long time, and now he interrupted in a sarcastic tone:
"Secretary Wu, what you said is not accurate. This is obviously Old Wu's home. Tongya is just staying here temporarily!"
Secretary Wu paused and glared at Ma Daming.
"Old Wutou?"
Minister Li was a little confused as to why Wu Tong lived in Old Wu's house?
Why did her mother smash up Old Wu's house for no reason... He looked at Ma Daming again and asked:
"Who is this person?"
"Oh! This is Ma Daming, the militia captain of our village." Secretary Wu introduced Ma Daming while winking at him, hoping that he could round up his words.
Ma Daming's long-honed eloquence finally came in handy. In order to take care of everyone present, he cleared his throat and began to speak in a loud voice:
"Dear leaders! You will understand once I explain the whole story clearly!"
"Here's what happened..."
"This old Wu was the cowherd of our village. He fell ill half a year ago. The people who followed him had no experience in feeding the cows, and as a result, all the cows became sick. At the critical moment, Tongya was kicked out of her family, so she resolutely took over the job of feeding the cows... Of course, here we have to first talk about why Tongya was kicked out..."
When reporter Xiao Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately took out his notebook from his bag and started taking notes. Another colleague next to him was also quick to react and started taking photos with his camera.
