Chen Hai was so angry at his mother that he laughed, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? If we talk about ruining my future, the cloth you sold on the black market is enough to ruin my future."
Aunt Xu felt guilty when she heard this.
"Those are all scraps of cloth your factory can't sell. I'm helping the country deal with its waste. Besides, we're also paying the factory. Even if I don't do it, there are others who will. Who am I doing this for? It's all so you can live a good life."
Chen Hai didn't argue with Aunt Xu about this. He picked up the cigarette box on the table and put it in his pocket.
"Okay, Mom, that's it. I still have things to do at the factory, so I'm leaving first."
"Hey, think about it. Oh, and get me some wool, any color will do."
Jiang Wanwan also mentioned to her that although she might not be able to do other things, she could get something in this area. Then she could let her son get in touch with her. She didn't believe that she couldn't bring them together.
Aunt Xu was calculating with her abacus. Seeing that it was getting late, she hummed a little tune and went home to cook.
On the other side, the patrol team was interrogating several speculators caught in the black market today. Next to them were the items they had confiscated, many of which were packed in large bags and small baskets, and one of them was an empty basket.
Among these seized stolen goods, those that fall within the scope of public agricultural and sideline products will be forcibly purchased, and those that are not within the scope of purchase will be confiscated.
These people will also be notified to their respective communes and brigades to come and pick them up, but before that, the patrol team will have to criticize and educate them.
Most of the people who were arrested were now dejected and squatting there obediently to accept criticism. Only one woman stood out with her face full of anger, shouting that she had not engaged in speculation.
Qiao Wenwan was so angry that she wanted to die. She asked why Jiang Wanwan suddenly became kind. It turned out that she had set a trap for her to fall into.
It was clearly her who was engaging in speculation and profiteering, yet she was made to receive criticism and education here, and the team leader was asked to come and take her away.
If she was taken back by the team leader for speculation, it would also be recorded in her resume of going to the countryside, and then everything would be ruined. This would be a stain, how could she admit it?
This stain is obviously Jiang Wanwan's. With this stain, let her stay in the countryside for the rest of her life.
"Comrade, I'm telling the truth. I really didn't engage in any speculation or profiteering."
Qiao Wenwan defended herself aggrievedly, looking at the patrol officers with red eyes. She knew that this look could best arouse men's sympathy. She had used this trick on Du Jiaming and Liu De before, and it always worked.
But she didn't expect that the patrolman was not a man at all. He had a stern face even in the face of such a pitiful woman like her.
"If you haven't engaged in any speculation, why are you going to the black market? Do you really think we're that easy to fool? Correct your attitude. Confess and we'll give you leniency, resist and we'll punish you severely. Do you understand?"
"I'm going to the black market..."
Qiao Wenwan was about to explain, but then she changed the subject immediately when she realized that buying things on the black market was also considered as reselling.
"I was just curious and saw them speculating, so I thought about reporting it, but they detained me. If you don't believe me, ask them. I was really just passing by."
Qiao Wenwan pointed at the people squatting on the ground, but everyone was in danger now, so who would testify for her?
Furthermore, the person who was arrested was already very angry, and thinking that if this woman had not shouted to report him, he might not have such bad luck today, he was even more unwilling to pay attention to her.
The patrol took one look at the empty basket, and the meaning was self-evident.
That basket is just like any other basket for selling things, except that the things have already been sold by her. Can she just pretend that nothing happened?
Do you really think that their patrol team is so easy to fool?
Qiao Wenwan was about to collapse, and suddenly thought of something and raised her right hand high.
"Comrade, I'm reporting you. I'm going to redeem myself for my crimes and am reporting Jiang Wanwan, the educated youth from the Red Star Brigade, for speculation and reselling. This basket was given to me by her. I really didn't sell anything on the black market."
The patrol team narrowed their eyes slightly, "Report, do you have any evidence?"
"I assure you with my integrity that Jiang Wanwan is a profiteer. If you don't believe me, just arrest her and ask her, and you'll find out."
If you want to make fun of her, then drag her down with you and no one will have an easy time.
"Your character?" the patrol snorted coldly. "What kind of character do you think these criminals who are undermining socialism are talking to me about? You want us to arrest you without any evidence?"
Qiao Wenwan was a little anxious. "Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, come with me to the Red Star Brigade. I'm sure there will be some clues."
As long as the patrol team is brought to the Red Star Brigade, no matter how well Jiang Wanwan hides, there is a chance that she will be exposed.
Even if nothing is found in the end, Jiang Wanwan's reputation will be affected.
They are all speculating, so there is no difference between being caught and not being caught.
The man slammed the table and interrupted her.
"Be nicer. I'm telling you, I've seen people like you before. Once you're caught, you just pick on anyone, even your own enemies. You want to use us patrol officers to vent your anger on you. Do you think we're all fools?"
The man had completely lost his patience. She couldn't deny that he had caught her red-handed even if he wanted to.
If he refuses to admit it like this, the captain of the Red Star Brigade will come over and have a good talk with him. He must pay attention to the ideological education of the members of their brigade.
Qiao Wenwan was struck by lightning. She had said it so clearly, but the other party didn't believe her?
Thinking of Jiang Wanwan, the culprit of all this, Qiao Wenwan scolded her again.
