"I didn't." Zhuang Feifei's eyes darted around, her guilty conscience evident.
The brigade leader was so angry with Zhuang Feifei that his face turned ashen. He couldn't help but reprimand her, saying, "You accused Luo Zhiqing of pushing your wall without any evidence. You're deliberately slandering her. In addition, you and others bribed to intentionally beat up Luo Zhiqing. You'll get a major demerit. Forget about returning to the city and being recommended for the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University."
"We've never had a combative educated youth like you in our brigade. Everyone else is trying to unite with other educated youth and the masses, but you're trying to incite a disturbance. Zhuang, this is just a warning. If you make the same mistake again, I will apply to the higher authorities to transfer you to a more difficult place for labor reform."
Zhuang Feifei realized the situation was bad and quickly begged for forgiveness: "I won't do it again, Captain, I know I was wrong, I, I just acted impulsively, Captain, I promise I will behave well in the future."
"Yes, you wronged Luo Zhiqing. Apologize to her now."
"But she hit me too."
"You think I wanted to hit you? That was self-defense. First of all, you deliberately provoked me. When you hit me, I didn't fight back. Should I just stand there and wait to be hit by you? Humph, if you hadn't been looking for trouble, you wouldn't have wasted my time and delayed my house construction. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?" Luo Jingyan glared coldly at Zhuang Feifei.
Zhuang Feifei was annoyed that she couldn't win an argument with Luo Jingyan. But a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. With the captain present, she was in the wrong and had no choice but to bow down to Luo Jingyan.
She gritted her teeth, walked up to Luo Jingyan, and bowed to her: "Luo, I'm sorry."
Luo Jingyan didn't care about that. She waved her hand and said goodbye to the captain, "Uncle Captain, I'm still busy over there, I'll be going now."
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing."
Luo Jingyan left immediately.
Zhuang Feifei still couldn't figure out who had pushed down her wall, and she suspected Luo Jingyan the most.
Since Luo Jingyan refuses to admit it openly, then she will find evidence, preferably catch Luo Jingyan on the spot, slap her face hard, and return all the grievances she suffered today to Luo Jingyan.
After Zhuang Feifei's wall was demolished, the workers had to clean up the collapsed area and rebuild it, which naturally increased the workload.
However, Zhuang Feifei had forty workers on her side. Even if their work efficiency was low, their numerical advantage allowed them to spend a whole morning cleaning up the foundation and then rebuilding the brickwork.
According to the schedule, the entire wall should be completed in about a day tomorrow.
The next day, things were peaceful between the two sides. After work in the evening, Zhuang Feifei's workers left the construction site and then gathered together again to discuss the demolition of the wall.
Because Zhuang Feifei successfully misled Luo Jingyan into believing that Luo Jingyan had pushed her wall, Zhuang Feifei's hatred and attention were all focused on Luo Jingyan. Even if they took further action, Zhuang Feifei would not suspect them. Therefore, they planned to send three more people to push the wall that night.
After dark, Zhuang Feifei went to the brigade leader's house again, bringing him cigarettes and candy. She pleaded with the brigade leader and his wife to go with her to catch the thief that night, promising to capture Luo Jingyan alive.
After lying in ambush near the construction site for two hours, they finally saw three figures walking towards them in the darkness and entering Zhuang Feifei's construction site.
Zhuang Feifei was secretly excited; the other two must have been helpers that Luo Jingyan had called.
Luo Jingyan, I'm about to catch you!
