Li Damang is the youngest son of the village party secretary. He is usually lazy and has no ambition.
How could he possibly get into university when he just lay around at home and did nothing but eat and drink after graduating from technical secondary school?
Zhou Jinghua did not alarm anyone and turned back quickly. He wanted to find the village party secretary to ask for clarification.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Li's courtyard, I heard a conversation between a man and a woman through the crack of the door.
The woman seemed reluctant and said, "It's really unkind of us to do this. Zhou Zhiqing is also a poor man. He finally got into college and can return to the city, but we took away his place."
The man cursed impatiently: "What do women know? That's a famous university in Jiangcheng. Do you know what kind of people graduate from there? They can eat the government's food for the rest of their lives. If we miss this opportunity, we will never have a chance to turn things around."
"But what if the educated youth find out and make a fuss?"
"What kind of trouble can a powerless stray dog like him make? He'd better be sensible. I can cooperate with him to move his household registration out. If he offends me, he will be a peasant in the countryside for the rest of his life..."
Zhou Jinghua was so angry that he trembled all over when he heard this. He pushed the door open and asked in a hoarse voice:
"How have I offended you that you want to harm me like this?"
The family saw that he had discovered them, but they did not feel embarrassed or ashamed. Instead, they said, "Zhou Jinghua, it is an honor for you that my son is able to attend the school you applied to. I advise you to be sensible and not refuse a toast."
Zhou Jinghua felt a suffocating pain in his chest. He almost couldn't breathe: "Give me back the admission letter!"
He has been enduring humiliation for all these years and has finally made it through. How could he allow others to destroy him so easily?
But the whole family showed their ugly side. Not only did they not have any intention of returning the property to their parents, they also proudly clamored to punish him.
Zhou Jinghua refused to give up, and a physical conflict ensued between the two sides, which started out as just pushing and shoving.
Later, Li Damang and his two brothers rushed back, and the whole family surrounded and beat him up.
Zhou Jinghua's two fists were no match for four hands and he was soon knocked to the ground.
But he still held Secretary Li tightly and threatened them that if they didn't spit out his stuff, he would report them.
After hearing this, Li Damang was not afraid. Instead, he ran into the woodshed, pulled out an axe and chopped at his leg.
He was sweating from the pain and clenched his teeth tightly, but he still kept shaking.
Fortunately, the axe was not sharp, otherwise his leg would have been completely broken.
The whole family seemed to be fearless, pointing at him and shouting: "Go ahead and report it! Don't you see whose territory this is? Would we be afraid of a stray dog from outside the area like you?"
"Hahaha, I'm not afraid to tell you that we have someone in the upper echelons. You have nothing but some knowledge..."
Zhou Jinghua dragged his injured leg out of the village and went straight to the town's Xi'an Bureau, where he told Xi'an about his situation truthfully.
After completing the statement, he went to the clinic to bandage his wound and waited for news.
But to his disappointment, not only did he not receive his admission letter, but he was also lectured as well as the punishment of the Li family filed by the police.
They said he had made a false report to the police, the Li family had never stolen his admission letter, and his injury was also staged by himself.
If he insists on lying, he will be put in custody.
Even though Zhou Jinghua was used to darkness, he still felt the coldness and suffocation at this moment.
"I'm going to find these shameless villains!" Lu Mianmian was so angry that she threw the blood-stained handkerchief in her hand and was about to rush out the door.
"Don't go!" Zhou Jinghua hurriedly grabbed her, ignoring the injury on his leg, and fell directly to the ground.
"You can't change anything if you go. We are a vulnerable group at the bottom of society. They have connections and connections. It's easy for them to crush us. Do you understand?"
"This matter concerns your future. Are we going to just let it go? No way! I can't swallow this! They have someone protecting them in town, so we will go directly to the county to sue them."
Zhou Jinghua was sweating from the pain, and he almost forced himself to explain to her, "You are too naive. If you report the case in the county, it will be beyond your authority. They will only hand the case over to the law enforcement department in the town, and it will still fall on their shoulders. It's useless!"
"How do you know it doesn't work if you don't try?"
Seeing that she was unmoved, Zhou Jinghua's pent-up emotions suddenly burst out: "Do you need me to teach you the principle that the arm cannot twist the thigh? You will only be bullied if you go there! This world is big, there are always places where the light doesn't shine, your naivety will only kill you!!!"
Lu Mianmian was not scared away by his angry look. The stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat in her eyes did not waver at all.
"I only know that good cannot prevail over evil. Wait! I'll go get your admission letter back!"
She ignored Zhou Jinghua's obstruction and went straight to the county's public security bureau:
"I want to report that there are spies in Qiyang Village..."
