The Ke family lived in a newly built six-story tube-shaped building in the meat processing factory. It was surrounded by low, old bungalows where other nearby factories and ordinary people lived. Each house was no more than a dozen square meters in size and was usually occupied by several generations of grandparents and grandchildren. Furniture and other things could only be placed in the alleys and corridors outside the house. Yang Qiujin and her family had to walk carefully through those corridors and had to worry about stepping on other people's pots, pans, and bowls.
"Mom, these places are so messy." Chen Tianyou was held by Chen Shengqing. Seeing these houses crowded together, he pouted and muttered, "It's not as spacious as our countryside."
"Yes." Yang Qiujin felt the same way.
The housing shortage in Toucheng these days is basically linked to job positions. If you have a job, the company or factory will allocate a house to you.
The houses allocated are usually very small, and the whole family is squeezed together. If the family has more people, there is not even a place to sleep. If the couple wants to have sex, they have to do it secretly while the family members are asleep, which is very inconvenient.
But even so, people in the city are not willing to move to the countryside to live, because in the city, they have jobs and urban household registration. Although the place they live in is small, they have wages and commercial food to eat. In any case, they are better than the country people who face the loess and back to the sky, and have no food to eat after the last meal. Therefore, it is common for city people to look down on country people.
The workers' dormitory of the meat processing factory where the Ke family lived was naturally the most imposing one among the dilapidated buildings.
Yang Qiuyue led her sister and brother-in-law to her husband's house. When they were quite a distance away from the workers' dormitory building of the meat processing factory, someone with good intentions notified the Ke family.
Soon, a middle-aged woman came running from an alley, carrying a pile of pots and pans, and raised her strong arms to slap Yang Qiuyue in the face: "You bitch, you dare to come back!" @無限tGood article, all in
"Who is this bitch? She comes right up and hits people?" Chen Shengqing was standing next to Yang Qiuyue. When he saw someone rushing over to hit someone, he reflexively kicked out his long legs and kicked Jiang Damei in the heart. Jiang Damei's fat body flew out, smashing the family's pots and pans.
"The People's Liberation Army is beating people!" Someone who was watching the excitement started shouting, not caring about the big deal.
"Bullshit! Which eye of yours saw my man beating anyone?" Yang Qiujin put her hands on her hips, looking very fierce. "It was obviously this fat woman who wanted to beat me and my sister, and my man stepped in to protect me. How did it become the PLA beating people?! If you dare to speak nonsense and slander the PLA, I will call the Little Red Soldiers and send you to the Revolutionary Committee as a counter-revolutionary and saboteur element for a thorough investigation!"
The military takes it as their duty to defend the country and the people, and they will never take a single needle or thread from the people. This is the iron rule of the military.
The man shouted nonsense and directly escalated the personal grudge to the army. If Yang Qiujin had not figured out the cause, and if Chen Shengqing was reported to the army by someone with ulterior motives, he would have been severely punished in the army.
The man was scolded by Yang Qiujin, and his face turned red with dissatisfaction. He wanted to say something, but the people around him who witnessed it all said, "Liu family, don't talk nonsense. Look at him. He is wearing a military officer's uniform. Does he look like the kind of person who would hit anyone casually?"
"Yes, it was Jiang Damei who beat her daughter-in-law without any reason, and her brother-in-law stepped in. This is a private grudge behind closed doors. You can't slander others just to curry favor with Jiang Damei."
Jiang Damei is Yang Qiuyue's mother-in-law and a workshop manager in a meat processing plant. She usually makes a lot of money. In an era when everyone could only eat until they were 70% or 80% full and everyone was hungry and skinny, she ate so much that she became fat and plump, with a face full of fat. But because her husband was the deputy director of the meat processing plant, no one dared to mess with her, and many people fawned on her.
After being scolded by everyone, Mrs. Liu walked over with a breath and helped Jiang Damei up from the ground, and asked with concern: "Director Jiang, are you okay?"
Jiang Damei's heart ached so much that she struggled to get up from the ground. She was shaking with anger and pointed her fat arm at Yang Qiuyue: "You slut, you didn't come back all night. Which man did you go to have sex with? You scumbag, I am just flattering you when I hit you, and you dare to find someone to fight back!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yang Qiuyue was so angry that she was shaking all over. "I just went to the female workers' dormitory in the factory to sleep for one night. Why did you insult me like this?"
"Everyone knows that you've been having an affair with that man named Zhou before you even married my eldest daughter. You slut, why don't you go home so late at night? If not, what else are you doing?" Jiang Damei covered her aching heart and wanted to hit Yang Qiuyue again, but she was afraid of the man in military uniform, so she could only spit in Yang Qiuyue's face with anger.
Yang Qiuyue was not good at quarreling. She spat on her face and tears welled up in her eyes. "The female employees in the printing factory can all testify for me that I was in the factory last night and I didn't go anywhere. Mom, I have told Ke Jian many times that I married him with a clean conscience and that Zhou Shihuai and I did not have any improper relationship between men and women."
"Who would believe it?" Jiang Damei was not afraid of others knowing about the scandal in her family. She shouted loudly, "There was no blood on the wedding night, and you said you were innocent. You are lying to a three-year-old child! You are a little whore who was born by a father but not raised by a mother. You deserve to be beaten to death by our Ke family!"
"Pa——" A loud slap landed on Jiang Damei's plump white face, and five hand claw marks appeared instantly.
"Mr. Jiang, I slapped her on behalf of my parents!" Yang Qiujin shook her right hand. As Jiang Damei covered her face with her hands and stared at her in disbelief, she raised her arm and slapped her hard on the other side of her face. "This slap was given on behalf of my sister!"
"Yang Qiujin, how dare you hit my mother?" A man who looked honest and simple, wearing a dark blue work uniform and was dirty and greasy, got wind of the news at some point and ran over to protect his fat mother who was howling non-stop.
"I'll beat your mother, so what!" Yang Qiujin put all the packages in her hands on the ground, rolled up her sleeves, and looked ready to fight. "Ke Jian, my sister is a pure and innocent girl who married into your Ke family. Just because she didn't have her first period on her wedding night, you are slandering her with nonsense. Let me ask you, do you know that many women don't have their first period? Every woman's physique is different, and it's normal not to have her first period! That membrane is only It is to protect women's bodies, not to tell whether it is your virginity! It's fine if your uneducated, fat-bellied mother doesn't understand, but you, a junior high school student, don't understand? Even if you don't understand, you should at least ask the doctors in the hospital and ask them if it's true. But you don't ask when you don't understand, you suspect this and that, and you team up with your whole family to bully my sister. Do you really think that all my Yang family members are dead!"
Her private affairs were exposed in front of everyone. Yang Qiuyue squatted on the ground in shame and anger, covering her face with her hands and crying.
"Don't cry, auntie. Mom and I will protect you." Chen Tianyou stretched out his little hand like a little adult and gently touched Yang Qiuyue's head. He turned around and rushed to Ke Jian, punching him with his little fist: "I'll beat you, you bad guy, you bully my auntie, I'll beat you to death!"
"Tianyou, come here."
Ke Jian's face turned livid and he was breathing rapidly. He was about to lose his temper. Chen Shengqing pulled Chen Tianyou away and looked at Ke Jian coldly: "Women are married to be loved, not to be suspected and manipulated. Since you have always suspected her, why don't you divorce her and marry someone new?"
Why didn't he leave? Of course, he couldn't bear to part with Yang Qiuyue's beautiful body, and the betrothal gift that Yang Qiuyue refused to return.
Ke Jian stared at Chen Shengqing, "What does this have to do with you?"
"She is my sister-in-law, my wife's younger sister. Tell me whether it is my business or not." Chen Shengqing said expressionlessly, "We are here this time to ask you to divorce Qiuyue."
"What if I don't leave?" Ke Jian sneered, "Will you shoot me to death?"
"I won't shoot you to death, but I will make you suffer more than death." Chen Shengqing pointed in the direction of the Revolutionary Committee with an indifferent expression, "We'll see."
He turned around and signaled Yang Qiujin to take Yang Qiuyue with her, and the group left quickly.
Ke Jian's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
"We can't let them go!" Jiang Damei was dazzled by Yang Qiujin's slap. She finally came to her senses with a burning face. She was so angry that she wanted to beat the bitch back to death, but the bitch turned around and left. How could she tolerate this? She rushed after him with her fat body.
"Mom, stop making trouble." Ke Jian's eyelids twitched violently, as if something big was going to happen. "Yang Qiuyue's brother-in-law is an officer in the army. He doesn't look like a good person. You should go home and clean up and get rid of all the things that shouldn't be there. I'll go say hello to Dad."
Seeing his heavy face, Jiang Damei realized that something was wrong and muttered to herself, "I just don't believe that a local military officer like him has the ability to trouble our family."
Chen Shengqing led Yang Qiujin and others to the county public security bureau and motioned to Yang Qiujin to wait outside. Yang Qiuyue asked anxiously, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing at the public security bureau?"
"Just meeting an old friend." Chen Shengqing said calmly.
Yang Qiujin understood what he meant, and took Yang Qiuyue and Tianyou to the state-owned hotel opposite to eat, rest and wait for Chen Shengqing.
When Chen Shengqing was still at home, he made many friends because of his good grades and good temper. After joining the army, he should also make many like-minded comrades.
According to the promotion system of our country's army, many officers have to retire and transfer to civilian jobs when they reach a certain age if they have not been promoted to a higher level. Officers who retired and transferred to civilian jobs in the 1960s were generally able to enter the public security or government systems and their positions were not low.
If Chen Shengqing really knows someone working in the county public security bureau or government departments, then the Ke family will be in big trouble.
After all, although Chen Shengqing appears calm on the outside, he is actually a madman in private. The Ke family will be in great pain even if they don't die.
