Zheng Chengwei, the team leader, heard about such a big thing happening in the village. The reason why he came so late was that relatives from the neighboring village came to their house early this morning and asked him to help. So he was not in the village, and it was Aunt Mei who sent someone to call him back.
This time, he found out about Accountant Zhang's affairs and was immediately furious. Accountant Zhang had hidden so many things from him over the years, and he hadn't even noticed it at all.
The father of Zheng Chengwei, the old man of the Zheng family, was also looking at Zheng Chengwei with a gloomy face at this time.
"Look at how you've been serving as the team leader all these years? You didn't even notice what Accountant Zhang did?"
Zheng Chengwei also looked at the ground with a dejected look on his face, wondering what had been unreasonable about Accountant Zhang's behavior over the years.
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. Accountant Zhang's affairs will naturally be handled by the organization. Now go to the village and deal with the matter of those two women."
Zheng Chengwei then stood up and walked out of the house, heading towards the Zhang family. It was only three generations that the Zhang family had settled in Zhengjiatun. Back then, Accountant Zhang's parents brought Accountant Zhang and his two brothers to Zhengjiatun to beg for food. It was Zheng Chengwei's father who took pity on the family and took them in. Not long after liberation, the Zhang family completely belonged to the people of Zhengjiatun.
During the great famine a few years ago, the old couple of the Zhang family died one after another. After the two brothers Accountant Zhang separated, they lived their own lives and seemed to have a good relationship. Who knew that not long after, Accountant Zhang's elder brother, Zhang Lin's father, went into the mountains to find food, but he never came back. People living at the foot of the mountain knew that he had encountered a wild beast in the mountains and would never come back. So in the following years, Accountant Zhang felt sorry for his nephew Zhang Lin and often took care of him. Gradually, Accountant Zhang's wife noticed something unusual, but for the sake of the family, she secretly quarreled with Accountant Zhang and did not make these things public. Therefore, the people in the village did not know about it, and many of them praised Accountant Zhang for his kindness and righteousness, and for taking good care of his nephew.
It seems that because of the matter between Zhang Lin and Wu Lanlan, Accountant Zhang helped his sister-in-law to plot against the educated youth and Wu Lanlan, which made the educated youth angry. The one who came today was Director Chen. Now everyone in the village knows that Director Chen is Chen Zhiqing's uncle. How can they watch you bully their own nephew?
When the team leader arrived, Zhang Lin had already helped his mother up. Accountant Zhang's wife was so tired that she sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
Accountant Zhang's eldest son hurried forward to help his mother up. It was so snowy and icy that she would catch a cold if she sat on the ground for a while.
Zheng Chengwei looked at Accountant Zhang's wife with a gloomy face.
"Haha, you're all very capable. Accountant Zhang actually did so many things without telling me, and even embezzled state funds. Haha, I'm also responsible for not realizing that he had embezzled so much state property."
After hearing what the team leader said, the surrounding villagers also tried to persuade him.
"Captain, this isn't your fault. You're just the captain, in charge of production. Accountant Zhang is in charge of the accounts and finances. You have different responsibilities. If you wanted to be in charge, I guess your boss wouldn't let you, right? So this matter really has nothing to do with you."
"That's right, Captain, don't overthink it. I just saw the police find a lot of money in their house. We'll definitely return it when the time comes."
Zheng Chengwei felt better after hearing what the villagers around him said. No matter what, as long as the villagers understood him, it would be much easier for him to feel uncomfortable about being criticized at the commune later.
"Alright, everyone, go home and sort out yourselves! I don't have time to waste time with you here. I have to go to the commune and get criticized."
Zheng Chengwei went home after he finished speaking. Seeing that the matter was over, the villagers also went home in twos and threes. If it weren’t for the comrades from the police station coming to every household to call people out, no one would be willing to go out. Don’t they know it’s very cold outside?
Several educated youth also returned to the educated youth compound and this time entered Zhang Jianlin's house together. Liu Jingjing then looked at Chen Hao and Lin Muren curiously.
"Tell me, what happened to Accountant Zhang the day before yesterday?"
Seeing that Sun Yuqi was just reading, Lin Muren knew that she was too lazy to talk, so she told them everything that had happened since Accountant Zhang came to see them the day before yesterday afternoon until today.
After hearing this, everyone sighed and wondered why they hadn't thought that Wu Lanlan believed what they said?
Lin Muren chuckled.
"Whether Wu Lanlan believes it or not is not important. The most important thing is that the villagers believe it. Then, regardless of whether Wu Lanlan believes it or not, the three of us will be the culprits who caused Wu Lanlan to be unable to take the college entrance examination."
Zhang Jianlin also shook his head after hearing this.
"What are these people thinking? They don't want to offend others, but they are not afraid of offending us educated youth?"
"What's there to be afraid of? The educated youth here are helpless and can't be bullied at will."
Liu Jingjing laughed gloatingly, "But he chose to offend the person he least wanted to offend. Isn't this a lesson for him?"
Chen Hao waved his hand.
"Actually, when Muren and I came back from Beijing a few days ago, we met my uncle at the commune. He mentioned Accountant Zhang. I already knew that Accountant Zhang had committed a crime and was going to be arrested in the next few days. Who knew he would actually plot against me? So I went to my uncle and asked them to arrest him in advance."
After Zhang Lin led his mother into the house, he sat on the edge of the kang in a daze for a long time before he looked at his mother.
"Are you satisfied now? I support you in not letting Lanlan take the exam, but why did you find your second uncle and ask him to set a trap on the educated youths in the Youth House? Are they so easy to mess with?"
"And when did the matter between you and your second uncle begin?"
Zhang Lin's mother was already embarrassed by being questioned like this, and now her son asked again, she suddenly felt ashamed. She also had a sense of shame, but she did not regret being with her second uncle all these years. Her husband went to the mountains and never came back. She knew that he died in the mountains and his body was not found. If it weren't for her second uncle, it was hard to say whether the mother and daughter could survive. But now her son's questioning tone made her not know how to face her son.
She raised her head and glanced at her tall son. Suddenly, she realized that her son seemed to have grown up and no longer needed her to take care of him. Then her mood calmed down.
"I can say I've let your father down for what happened between your second uncle and me, but son, I don't think I've let you down. You should know that all these years I've been with your second uncle, it was all to keep you alive. You lost your father when you were still young, and I'm just a woman. If I hadn't gone to your second uncle, not only me, but you wouldn't have survived either. So, you're the only person I haven't let down."
