As soon as Lin Ran and his family returned to the Tashan Brigade, they saw the team members gathered together and talking with saliva flying everywhere.
But when they got closer, the group of people fell silent instantly.
Lin Weiguo didn't understand and asked casually.
"What are you all doing here? Have you all had dinner yet?"
Everyone laughed dryly when they heard this, feeling embarrassed as if they had been caught.
"No, nothing, just chatting here."
Lin Weiguo didn't think much about it, he was still rushing home to eat.
"Okay, then you guys continue chatting, we'll go back first."
But just as the Lin family was about to leave, they were stopped by Aunt Zheng.
Others were afraid to speak out because of Captain Lin Weiguo's identity, but she was not afraid. She almost hated the Lin family to death. If it weren't for the Lin family, how could her son Zheng be sent to the mine, and how could her family become like this.
So she was eager to see the Lin family's joke, and immediately mocked:
"Captain, you're back so late. Did you go to the Huangqiao Brigade to force your niece to marry you?
I'm not saying anything, but this is a new society, and you're still a team leader, so why are you acting like a landlord in the old society?
These words successfully stopped the Lin family in their tracks.
Shen Wenfang immediately got furious.
"What do you mean by forced marriage? Who forced marriage? What are you spouting nonsense about?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. We've all heard about it. We heard it from the people from the Huangqiao Brigade. They saw you forcing her to kiss with their own eyes.
But I didn’t expect that you are so rampant now. It’s bad enough that you are bullying me here, but you even dare to go to the next brigade to act bully.
Is there no one who can control you?"
Hearing these words, Lin Weiguo immediately looked at the others, and sure enough, he saw that everyone's eyes were evasive and they didn't dare to look at him.
"Who on earth did you hear that from?"
No one dared to say anything for a while, only the family who had a good relationship with the Lin family spoke.
"I also heard it from other people in the brigade. They said someone from Huangqiao Brigade was visiting relatives and passed by here and told them the story. And they said it with details, it didn't seem like a lie.
At that time, someone asked an acquaintance in the Huangqiao Brigade and was told that they had indeed seen someone going to the Huang family to force a marriage.
By the way, you are going to Wei Hong’s house to attend the wedding today, right?
Isn’t it said that Wei Hong’s family is related to the Huang family?
Why would we even need to force a kiss?"
These words choked Lin Weiguo.
He had no choice but to explain to everyone:
"Marrying the Huang family was just a misunderstanding. The matchmaker made a mistake last time, causing Wei Hong to make a mistake."
"Then the Wei Hong family didn't get married today?"
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not believing what Lin Weiguo said.
How could a matchmaker who comes to propose marriage make the wrong choice about the man?
Lin Weiguo also knew that this matter was too outrageous and no one would believe it if he told it out loud, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and nod his head.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be confirmed that they went to Huangqiao Brigade to force marriage?
But even so, everyone still looked skeptical.
Aunt Zheng laughed even more wantonly:
"Come on, even if you want to fool people, you should at least be a little careful. You can even make up such nonsense. Do you think all of us are fools?
I think you probably wanted to use your power to force the marriage by going to Huangqiao Brigade, but they didn't buy your tricks at all, so the marriage didn't take place in the end."
When the others heard this, their eyes flickered, and they obviously thought the same thing.
Lin Weiguo's face suddenly darkened when he saw this. How could such words be said casually?
"Sister Zheng, please use your brains when you speak. I'm just an ordinary team leader. Besides working in the fields, what else can I do? How can I use my power to suppress others?"
"You didn't, but you had it behind the scenes. If you hadn't joined forces with your brother-in-law from the commune, would my Zheng have been exiled to the mine?
You are very capable. Do you think we dare to tell the truth now?
My husband, Mr. Zheng, worked as an accountant in the Tashan Brigade for more than ten years, but in the end, he was fired just because of you guys, right?
We ordinary team members have even less human rights.”
These pointed remarks clearly aimed to drag Lin Weiguo and Cao Changzheng into the water.
Sure enough, when the other team members heard this, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes when they looked at Lin Weiguo.
Lin Weiguo was so angry that his face turned blue.
Don’t these people have a long memory?
Have you forgotten what Accountant Zheng did to be sent to the mine for reform?
Would you still believe Aunt Zheng's instigation?
Lin Ran, who was behind Lin Weiguo, didn't take Aunt Zheng seriously at first. She thought that she suddenly jumped out just for Accountant Zheng, so she would take the opportunity to make trouble for her family.
But after hearing what she said, Lin Ran's almond-shaped eyes suddenly darkened, and she immediately took a step forward to look at Aunt Zheng.
"Aunt Zheng, let's not talk about the fact that Accountant Zheng was caught red-handed by the brigade for a crime of hooliganism and was sent to the mine for reform.
This also takes into account Accountant Zheng's contributions to the brigade over the years. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as just delegating the charge of hooliganism to Accountant Zheng.
Not to mention the private collection of foreign books.
But let’s not talk about these for now.
I just want to know who taught you the term "human rights" from Aunt Zheng's perspective.
Could it be that these rumors that suddenly spread in the team today are related to Aunt Zheng?"
Aunt Zheng was suddenly startled, and looked at Lin Ran with a panicked look, and subconsciously retorted:
"Don't accuse me, you damned girl! When did I ever spread rumors about your family? Are you deaf? Didn't you hear it was someone from the Huangqiao Brigade who said it?
And isn’t what they said true?
Otherwise, why hasn’t Lin Weihong’s daughter gotten married today?
You failed to force me to marry, and now you have the nerve to accuse me.
I think you guys just want to force me to death because my husband Zheng is not at home."
Having said that, she immediately sat down on the ground and began to cry loudly.
"Everyone, come and help us judge the situation. Lin Weiguo and his family are trying to force us to death.
You just see that my man is not at home, so you all come out to bully us mothers.
Even the little girl from the Lin family can casually accuse us mothers.
This life is unbearable!
"You black-hearted captain, you're even more oppressive towards us common people than the landlords of the past!"
After Aunt Zheng made such a fuss, Lin Ran’s previous question was simply left unanswered.
And seeing her like this, there was no way I could ask any further questions.
Even the team members whose expressions had relaxed because Lin Ran mentioned the mistake made by Accountant Zheng, felt sympathy when they saw Aunt Zheng like this, and looked at the Lin family with disapproval.
Seeing this, Lin Ran pursed her lips and her eyes became gloomy.
If Aunt Zheng continues to make trouble like this, then their Lin family will really become the landlords and rich people in the old society who exploited the people as Aunt Zheng said.
