Chapter 203 Ma San is ready to take the blame for Zhou Yong
Sun Qing glanced at his wife, and said with anger in his tone: "Stop talking."
Shao Wenjing knew nothing about the relationship between Sun Qing and Zhou Yong, and he could never reveal the secret between them to anyone.
"Why are you so fierce? I'm doing this for your own good."
Sun Qing's face darkened. Shao Wenjing saw it and turned back to the house without thinking.
He couldn't eat anymore, so Sun Qing put down his bowl and chopsticks, said goodbye to his grandfather, and went to Li Baotian's house to check on the situation.
Li Baotian's house was crowded. In addition to Li's family, Ma San and his wife, Zhao Chunhua, Miao Jinfeng, Shao Hongmei, and Zhou Ling were all in Li's house.
In addition to these people, many people who are close to the Li family also came.
However, Zhou Jiefang and Cui Shufen were not present at the scene. Not only did they not come, but none of the three brothers Zhou Gang, Zhou Qiang and Zhou Tao came to the Li family to check on the situation.
Li Caiyun and Zhao Min have not returned yet. Due to the inconvenience of communication, no one knows what the situation is in the county town.
Li Hongjun said that if they didn't come back tonight, he would go to the county town to find them tomorrow.
Everyone was talking while waiting for Li Caiyun and Zhao Min. Before they knew it, it was eight o'clock and Li Baotian asked everyone to go back and rest.
When Ma San and Liu Juan got home, Ma Yichen had already coaxed his two younger brothers and one younger sister to sleep.
"Mom, why did you just come back?"
Liu Juan smiled and touched her son's head: "Are you scared at home?"
Ma Yichen looked at Liu Juan without saying anything, it was obvious that the child was scared.
Ma San lit the stove, and Ma Yichen washed his feet, got on the kang and went into bed.
"Stop working and go to sleep!"
Liu Juan was not idle when she came back. She swept the floor and wiped the dust on the cabinets with a rag.
This is the bad thing about the stove: it produces a lot of dust and needs to be cleaned two or three times a day.
Liu Juan responded, and Ma San sat down at the edge of the kang, took off his pants and removed his prosthesis.
The couple lie down and extinguish the candles while talking. They immediately say to themselves: "Juanzi, if Brother Zhou is found guilty of corruption and bribery, I have already made up my mind. I will take the blame for him then..."
The reason he said this was that when he was installing his prosthesis, Zhou Yong gave him two thousand yuan in private.
At that time, Ma San suspected that Zhou Yong had embezzled public funds, but Zhou Yong denied it.
Zhou Yong told Ma San that he borrowed the money from some friends on the street, but Ma San didn't believe him.
But when he asked more questions, Zhou Yong's answer was always the same.
This incident happened a few months ago. Now that Zhou Yong was reported for corruption and bribery, Ma San connected all the things together.
Liu Juan's head buzzed and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
If Ma San went to jail, there would be only five women left at home, and Liu Juan would have to support the family alone.
Not only that, this matter also involves the future of four children, and Liu Juan is extremely upset.
Ma San held Liu Juan's hand in the bed: "I owe this to Brother Zhou. Without him, Zhou Yong, there would be no Ma San today. Although I feel sorry for you and the child, if it really comes to that, I still have to do this..."
He would rather go in himself than let Zhou Yong go in.
Liu Juan's eyes were filled with tears, and her tone was choked with emotion: "Just think about it yourself."
Ma San held Liu Juan's hand tightly and pretended to be relaxed: "I'm just saying this, things may not be as bad as I thought. But you have to be mentally prepared..."
Tears flowed down Liu Juan's eyes. She pulled the quilt to cover her face and burst into tears.
Ma San held her in his arms, feeling guilty: "I'm sorry."
Liu Juan cried and said, "If you go in, I will take good care of the children and this family..."
Ma San smiled, with a hint of emotion in his tone: "I owe you too much in this life, and I'm afraid I can never repay you. If there is an afterlife, I'm willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you..."
The couple whispered to each other, and gradually the room became quiet.
Neither Ma San nor Liu Juan slept well that night.
Liu Juan got up at five o'clock, packed up and went to work at the brigade.
Ma San waited until Liu Juan left before he got up. He first lit the stove and then made breakfast.
Without waiting for the children to finish breakfast, Ma San went to Li's house.
"Aunt, isn't sister-in-law back yet?"
Zhang Guifang, who was making breakfast in the outer room, shook her head, and Ma San went straight into the east room of the Li family.
Li Baotian was feeding Li Jingan milk powder. When he saw Ma San coming, he asked him to sit wherever he wanted.
Ma San was in no mood to sit still. He paced back and forth on the ground: "I'm going to the county town to see what's going on."
Li Baotian was also going to the county to check out the situation. He meant that Ma San should not go, and he would go with Li Hongjun when the time came.
Ma San thought this was a good idea, so he left Li's house and went to the team.
Zhou Yong still couldn't see anyone, and even when he went to the toilet, the disciplinary inspection comrades followed him everywhere.
Ma San couldn't find a chance to meet Zhou Yong, so he was like an ant on hot pan. He left the team and went to Li's house.
Li Baotian and Li Hongjun had already set off for the commune bus station. Before they could get on the bus, Li Caiyun and Zhao Min got off the first bus from the county town to the commune.
Fortunately, Li Hongjun was sharp-eyed and saw Li Caiyun, otherwise they would have missed her.
As soon as the four met, Li Baotian asked them about the situation in the county.
Zhao Min pursed his lips, and Li Caiyun told him what happened again.
The reason why they came back now is because Cao Biao was on a business trip, and Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang were also on a mission.
"You mean you didn't see anyone?"
Li Caiyun nodded: "Dad, what's Zhou Yong's situation now?"
They came back because they were afraid that their families would worry. However, Li Caiyun left letters for each of the three of them.
Li Baotian talked about Zhou Yong's current situation, and Li Caiyun felt very nervous.
The four of them looked at each other, and Li Baotian said, "You go home first. I'll go to the commune to check on Xu Jianmin..."
Li Caiyun heard it and said, "Dad, I'll go with you."
Li Baotian thought it would be a good idea for Li Caiyun to go and take a look, after all, Xu Jianmin was implicated because of Zhou Yong.
The four of them separated, and Li Hongjun and Zhao Min returned to Huaixi Village.
After entering the village, Zhao Min went straight home, and Li Hongjun went to deliver a letter to his third aunt.
When Zhao Min returned home, Zhou Ling was washing clothes with her child on her back!
"Why did you just come back?"
Zhao Min took the child from Zhou Ling's back and told her about their experience of going to the county town.
Zhou Ling frowned when she heard this: "What should I do?"
Zhao Min comforted Zhou Ling: "Don't get angry. I talked to my sister-in-law and my brother will be fine..."
He asked Li Caiyun indirectly, meaning whether Zhou Yong had the problems mentioned by the disciplinary inspection comrade.
Li Caiyun told Zhao Min that Zhou Yong did not commit corruption or bribery. As for abusing his power and using his power for personal gain, it was nothing more than arranging for Zhao Chunhua and Miao Jinfeng to work at the breeding farm.
Zhao Min felt that if that was all, it wouldn't be a big problem, so he believed that his brother-in-law would be fine.
After hearing what her husband said, Zhou Ling said, "Since my sister-in-law said so, my brother definitely doesn't have the problems that the disciplinary inspection comrade mentioned..."
Zhao Min looked thoughtful: "I'm afraid there will be villains who will interfere."
Zhou Ling's heart, which had just calmed down, began to hang again: "What do you mean by that?"
Zhao Min sighed: "I heard from my sister-in-law that someone had reported my brother before, but the matter was not made public..."
