Yang Chunhua, Aunt Tian, and their respective daughters-in-law worked together to slaughter chickens and ducks, quickly preparing a table of fine wine and dishes.
After offering a warm welcome, Zhao Honghui saw the guests off to their car.
At the main gate, the brigade leader and Party Secretary Liu sighed to each other.
"You promised them quite a few benefits, didn't you!" The captain pointed in the direction the car had gone.
Zhao Honghui shook his head, "It's nothing, I just used some connections with my comrades."
"Debts of gratitude are even harder to repay!" said Party Secretary Liu. "Honghui, the political commissar of the Fifth Regiment is a cousin of mine. If you need anything, I can invite him to my home for dinner."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
"What are you thanking me for! If it weren't for you today, this educated youth team would have been in trouble, our brigade would have been criticized, and that tractor would definitely have flown away."
Zhao Honghui smiled but didn't say anything.
"Do you have any good ideas on how to deal with Jiang Yan?" the captain asked, looking worried.
Every educated youth who came here had a good or bad personality, but in all the years he had come and gone, he had never seen anyone so awful.
Zhao Honghui: "We can't let her live with Xie Zhiqing anymore."
"I think we should let her live in the cowshed and do the work of taking care of the cows," Secretary Liu suggested.
There's an empty room near the cowshed that can be repaired; it would be enough for someone to live in.
"What if she gets jealous and poisons the cow?" Zhao Honghui didn't want her to live in the cowshed.
There are several other people over there, and he and Zhao Jianbin often go there.
If she sees this, who knows what trouble might arise.
“We can’t let her go; these cows are all treasures.” The brigade leader thought for a moment and said, “Then let her stay in that dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain and be assigned to carry manure.”
He didn't want such a young girl, but what she did was just too vicious.
Even if there is no evidence, he and Secretary Liu firmly believe any conclusion Zhao Honghui draws.
However, since there was no clear evidence, they did not go to the educated youth compound again. They asked Zhao Honghui to give an explanation and then went home.
When Zhao Honghui arrived at the educated youth compound, many of the educated youth were still awake.
Upon seeing him arrive, they swarmed out from both sides of the house and gathered in the main room to wait for him to speak.
Zhao Honghui glanced around and found that only Yao Yao and Yang Shumei hadn't come out.
At this moment, Xie Yuyao was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), her consciousness entering the space, listening to the soothing music playing from the stereo, and closing her eyes to rest.
"Yaoyao, Yaoyao?"
Yang Shumei called for a while before getting her attention. She snapped out of her daze and asked, "Shumei, what's wrong?"
"Zhao Honghui is here. Are you going out?"
Feeling tired, Xie Yuyao yawned. "Let's go take a look."
Then Zhao Honghui saw her come out, wrapped in a long overcoat, still sleepy-eyed.
He leaned closer and asked softly, "Were you woken up?"
"No, have those two been seen off?"
"Let's go." Zhao Honghui pulled up a chair with a backrest so she could sit down and rest.
He handed the paper that Director Ye had given him to Xiang Wenshan, saying, "Burn it immediately."
Xiang Wenshan frantically struck a match and burned the paper ball to ashes.
"Comrade Zhao, you are my great benefactor, thank you so much!"
Zhao Honghui waved his hand, "You're a real man for stepping forward like this!"
Even those who step forward at the last minute, how many can actually do that?
Having spent years outwitting and outfighting enemies, he understands the true nature of humanity.
Xiang Wenshan lowered his head in shame. He should have stood up from the beginning; then Bei Xiao wouldn't have suffered so much pressure.
Bei Xiao squeezed his hand and smiled reassuringly at him.
Zhao Honghui then took out another letter from his pocket and handed it to Li Weidong.
"This is the letter of complaint that Director Ye asked me to forward. They're not going to pursue it anymore."
Since they had even retrieved the whistleblower's letter, there was no criminal record left, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Most importantly, Zhao Honghui's actions deterred everyone from using such tactics again.
If you can write a report, he has the ability to get it back. Who's behind this will be found out quickly.
Li Weidong took it, opened it, and frowned after just one glance. He looked at Jiang Yan and silently passed it on to the others.
The others passed the letter around, and it eventually reached Xie Yuyao.
She noticed that the handwriting on the letter was crooked and distorted, clearly indicating that it was written with a different hand.
As expected of someone who has been hiding in the shadows for a long time, they always know to wear a disguise.
In fact, those present guessed who the whistleblower was when Director Ye asked Xie Yuyao about her background.
After all, apart from Jiang Yan, Xie Yuyao didn't have any major conflicts with anyone else in this educated youth compound.
Jiang Yan's reluctance to let Xie Yuyao call the police just now explains everything.
No one expected that Bei Xiao, who was always spoiled, could withstand the pressure and never betray Xiang Wenshan, while Xiang Wenshan, who initially hesitated, was able to overcome his instincts and stand up at the last moment.
Love is a truly wonderful thing.
In a short period of time, people have seen both the ugliness and the brilliance of human nature.
Zhao Honghui spoke sternly, like a drill instructor, outlining the serious consequences of such incidents.
To prevent these educated youth from taking things lightly, he also cited many cases of execution in this regard.
Hearing this, everyone felt extremely frightened, especially He Wenyao and Jiang Yan.
As the originator of handwritten newspapers, He Wenyao never expected that a moment of pleasure would trigger so many chain reactions and serious consequences.
Fortunately, no one betrayed him. If even one person had pushed him out, he would have been finished.
Jiang Yan, who was the instigator of this report, did not expect that this was a move that would hurt both herself and her enemy.
The evidence was right in Xie Yuyao's spot, how could she possibly escape unscathed?
Thinking of how many people had just defended her, she glared at Xie Yuyao resentfully.
Then her attention was drawn to Zhao Honghui, who stood beside her like a protector.
Looking at him, so full of masculinity, Jiang Yan felt a mix of love and hate. How could such a high-quality and strong man not like her!
Aside from looks, in what way is she inferior to Xie Yuyao?
After listening to his words, Xie Yuyao, who was being nagged by her, felt that she had gained a lot.
What she lacks is an understanding of current political affairs, which may lead her to make basic mistakes unintentionally.
Therefore, what he said was of great value to her.
She will neither be completely assimilated nor completely rejected.
She will forge her own path to success in this era.
She also knew that the person was saying all this partly because he was worried that someone in the educated youth team might cause trouble in the future, and partly because he was taking the opportunity to tell her.
Xie Yuyao felt a pang of sadness, wondering what price he had paid to resolve this matter.
*
It was getting late, and Xie Yuyao saw him off at the door.
Looking into the tender eyes of his beloved, Zhao Honghui's heart was completely captivated.
He felt an impulse: whatever she wanted, he was willing to give her, even his life!
