Yang Liu used a shovel to dig a big hole deep in the woods, and then filled it with sharpened wooden stakes. In order to lure the prey into the trap, she endured the pain and brought a piece of meat from home to put in the hole as bait.
The next day, she took advantage of darkness and asked Yang Bai to accompany her up the mountain. She found that there was indeed a wild boar inside, and it weighed at least 100 pounds.
The wild boar's stomach was pierced by a wooden stake, and a lot of blood flowed out of the hole. It was groaning in pain.
In order to get Qin Meixia to take the bait this time, she had to do her best.
She specifically asked Yang Bai to visit the educated youth site and gave Wei Donglai a piece of meat in the name of Chu Yue in front of Qin Meixia.
In order to make her believe it completely, she spent a lot of money this time and gave her a piece of pork belly with fat and lean meat.
Those educated youth were all city dwellers and didn't know the difference between grains, so they had no idea whether the meat was wild boar or not.
When Qin Meixia saw that Yang Liu was so generous as to send her such a large piece of meat, she was certain that she must have killed a wild boar in the mountains.
And the fact that she was willing to send such a large piece over meant that they must have left a lot at home.
When the time comes, she will report it and ask the village party secretary to go to her house to check, and they will definitely catch the perpetrator red-handed.
And just in case, she went to the back mountain to check. The hole for catching wild boars and the wooden stakes were all there. With all the physical evidence, she would have no way to deny it.
Qin Meixia did not delay for a moment, fearing that she would be too late and be discovered by Yang Liu.
She went directly to Secretary Tian Shouyi's house. At this time, most people had returned from working in the fields and were preparing to have dinner.
Ever since Zhang Guilan was beaten by her old man last time, she has been as well-behaved as possible at home. Every time she eats, she just picks up some dishes and eats quietly aside.
It was so quiet as if this person was not at home.
Her two daughters-in-law were extremely happy because no one was bothering them or picking on them anymore. Although they had to repair the canals every day, they felt at ease.
Moreover, my sister-in-law Tian Xiuzhu is now working honestly at home and no longer causing trouble.
The atmosphere at home is better than ever, and the air has become especially fresh.
When Qin Meixia arrived, the gate to their yard was not closed, and she could only occasionally hear the gentle voices of adults feeding their children.
She looked inside and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there? I have something to ask Secretary Zhao."
Zhang Guilan was squatting in the corner. When she heard voices, she stretched her neck to look outside. Seeing that it was someone from the educated youth point, she thought that they must be here to ask her old man for leave.
These people from the city are the most pampered. Not only do they cheat at work, they also always find various excuses to ask for leave. If it were in the past, she would have kicked them out, but now, she can only hide like a quail.
Tian Zhuang heard someone talking at the door and ran out with his bowl in hand. There was still a grain of rice on his mouth. He tilted his head back and smiled and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Secretary Zhao."
"Grandpa, someone is looking for you." After saying this, the little guy ran away.
When Tian Shouyi came over and saw that it was Qin Meixia, his face, which was originally full of surprise, suddenly became gloomy again and his brows were furrowed, because this person had come to him a few days ago to ask for sick leave, and he gave her five days due to pressure from above.
It's only been a few days since he started working. Could this person be asking for leave again?
"It's Qin Zhiqing. What brings you here?"
Although he didn't like her in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.
Because he knew that Qin Meixia's family was well-known in Shanghai. The reason why she was assigned here was because of the personal arrangement of the commune leader, and people also asked him, the secretary, to take care of her as much as possible.
Qin Meixia thought that this was a big deal, and it would be best if the situation became as big as possible, so that Yang Liu would be discredited and become a pariah.
So she didn't shy away from it and just stood there and said, "Secretary, isn't there a rule in our village that if you kill a large game animal in the mountains, you can't keep it for yourself. You have to share it with everyone. Otherwise, you'll be punished."
Tian Shouyi didn't know why she suddenly asked this, but he nodded anyway.
Upon hearing his definitive answer, Qin Meixia breathed a sigh of relief, her expression filled with relief and complacency, pouring out her words like a bamboo tube pouring beans. "Secretary, I saw with my own eyes that Yang Liu killed a wild boar in the back mountain. It must have weighed at least 100 to 200 kilograms, and she kept it for herself. Shouldn't you take proper care of this kind of immoral behavior? Otherwise, she'll corrupt the morals of our village in the future."
She felt that she had to drag the matter into the interests of the entire village, so that everyone would spare no effort to attack her and make her suffer the consequences.
As soon as she heard that it was about Yang Liu, Zhang Guilan immediately stood up from the ground, hurried over, and listened with her ears perked up, as if she was afraid of missing out on some shocking news.
And he still had a gloating look on his face.
Tian Shouyi was a man who had seen a lot of storms. Unlike Zhang Guilan, he believed it as soon as he heard about it and wanted to take people to her house to arrest the person immediately.
He paused, then asked, "How do you know she killed a wild boar and kept it for herself?"
There are indeed a lot of wild animals on the back mountain. It is understandable that people go there to hunt pheasants and rabbits to satisfy their cravings. After all, they have the ability.
But if you kill prey like wild boar, it would be too tempting. If you don't share it with the villagers, I guess everyone in the village would spit at you and drown you.
Qin Meixia was afraid that if things dragged on any longer, it would only lead to more trouble, so she told the secretary everything she had seen and guessed. Seeing that the secretary remained silent, Zhang Guilan, beside her, grew extremely anxious and began to incite him, "Old man, Qin Zhiqing is right. How could she keep such a large prey to herself? Besides, the things on the back hill are communal property of the villagers. How could she eat them all by herself? As the secretary, you must be fair and handle this matter properly."
Of course, the subtext in her mind was that handling the matter was secondary, the most important thing was to deal with Yang Liu properly.
Let her also have a taste of what it feels like to be laughed at and ridiculed by everyone.
"Yes, Secretary. If you don't handle this matter properly, I'm afraid the trend of misappropriating public property will only grow in the village. This will seriously damage the village's morale, affect our village's performance in the commune, and even affect your reputation as Secretary."
Tian Shouyi felt a little relieved when he saw her speak so confidently. He also knew that Qin Zhiqing had a strong family background. If he could go along with her on certain matters, she would just say a few good words for him in front of the leaders. He was afraid that he would be able to keep his position as secretary.
So he nodded and followed Qin Meixia to Yang Liu's house.
