The next morning, after breakfast, Guan Wenru took the triplets to school.
She had just returned to Courtyard No. 1 from school when she saw two government vehicles parked at the gate.
She walked over quickly and saw the leaders with serious expressions.
The leader was a middle-aged man, followed by Wang Mingyu and others.
Baiyun then stood in front of them.
Wang Mingyu, with a stern face and a harsh tone, said, "Comrade Baiyun, the reports about your premarital pregnancy and moral depravity have had a very negative impact! Please come back with us now to accept the investigation!"
If this is true, even without being paraded through the streets with a placard, the organization must still give you a serious punishment! As for your job... humph, the feed mill is an advanced production unit; we absolutely cannot keep a black sheep like you!"
This time, Baiyun did not back down and straightened her back.
She still had the marriage certificate in her pocket, so everything was legal and there was nothing to be afraid of!
She stood ramrod straight, her expression calm. "I can cooperate with the investigation! But if the investigation proves my innocence, and that someone deliberately fabricated rumors to slander me, then I ask you, shouldn't the person who maliciously reported and fabricated rumors to slander me also receive the punishment they deserve?!"
Wang Mingyu scoffed dismissively, "Punish the whistleblower? What kind of logic is that! Whistleblowing is the freedom and right of the people! We are only responsible for investigating the facts!"
Guan Wenru stepped forward, completely shielding Bai Yun behind her.
She stared directly at the leader, "Comrade Wang, are you saying that the whistleblower has no responsibility, no consequences, regardless of whether they are talking nonsense or maliciously framing someone? Fine!"
Her tone shifted abruptly, her voice rising sharply with a accusatory tone, "I'm reporting you leaders right now! I'm reporting you for accepting bribes and abusing your power to embezzle public funds!"
You're exploiting the villagers! Please investigate each other immediately! Or come with me to the military region and be investigated by our military security department!
"!!!" Wang Mingyu's face turned red with anger as he pointed at Guan Wenru, "Guan Wenru! You...you're simply spouting nonsense! Making a fuss! And slandering me!"
"Ha!" Guan Wenru sneered, her gaze sweeping over everyone, her voice cold, "I'm just making excuses? Doesn't what I said make any sense at all?"
Or do you think that because you have some power, you can investigate whoever you want and take away whoever you want?
So they can just do whatever they want with it? Do leaders really have that much power?!
"You can just label whoever you want? How is this any different from the officials of the old society?!"
Officials in the old society...
Putting on a hat...
These words are extremely damaging in this special year.
The leaders' faces instantly turned extremely ugly. They exchanged glances and saw fear and apprehension in each other's eyes.
In this special period, such accusations could have unimaginable consequences if one were to be involved!
The leader, barely suppressing his shock and anger, softened his tone noticeably, even revealing a hint of barely perceptible panic, "Comrade Guan... Guan Wenru! You... you shouldn't be agitated! Let's talk this out! Since you've brought it up, tell me, how do you want to resolve this?"
Guan Wenru stated his conditions: "If it is proven that someone behind this is spreading rumors and causing trouble, then they should be punished accordingly, at least they should pay the price!"
That's good. Once the person who spread the rumors and caused trouble is found out, if they hold a public office, they will be dismissed.
If you're a worker, then you'll be laid off.
If the person is a member of the commune, they will be fined a year's worth of work points, and a general meeting will be held to publicly criticize them!
As soon as she said this, Wang Mingyu immediately jumped up in opposition, "No way! This punishment is too harsh! Resignation? Layoff? Deduction of work points? And a public reprimand? Comrade Guan Wenru, this is retaliation! It doesn't comply with policy!"
Guan Wenru stared at him sharply, her voice even colder, "Spreading rumors and slander, almost driving an innocent girl to her death, ruining her reputation, and disrupting the stability of a worker's family—this kind of person shouldn't pay the price."
Comrade Wang Mingyu, do you think the punishment is too severe because you believe the cost of spreading rumors is too low, and that you can do whatever you want?
She paused, her gaze sweeping over all the leaders, her attitude extremely firm, "My conditions are right here! If the investigation proves it's a false accusation, then the person who spread the rumors must be punished as I say!"
Those holding public office will be dismissed! Those who are workers will be laid off! Those who are commune members will be penalized with a year's worth of work points and publicly criticized at a large meeting! No one can be spared!
Wang Mingyu's eyes widened in anger, "You...you're threatening me!"
Guan Wenru smirked coldly, "Threatening? Comrade Wang Mingyu, if you insist on interpreting it that way, fine."
However, I must remind you that if you cannot guarantee that those who spread rumors will pay the price, then if I, Guan Wenru, ever become bored one day, I would be happy to go to the county, the region, and even the province... to report you leaders one by one.
She deliberately slowed her speech, enunciating each word clearly, "Reporting is easy, you only have one mouth! I'll report you for accepting bribes, for abusing your power, for having questionable lifestyles..."
Since you don't need evidence to report someone, right?
Just like when someone reported my sister Baiyun.
As for what consequences you might face… what does that have to do with me? Anyway, it's your responsibility to investigate, so go ahead and investigate.”
These words were like ice water poured over their heads, instantly turning the leaders' faces pale!
By this time, a number of military dependents who had come after hearing the commotion had already gathered around.
Zeng Chunlan was the first to loudly agree, "Xiao Guan is right! Why should people who spread rumors be held accountable for harming others with just a few words?! If that's the case, we'll report them every day from now on! Let's see who can't take it anymore!"
Hua Xiaoyu, who was about to go to work, was also indignant. "That's right! This is unreasonable! Those who spread rumors must be severely punished! Otherwise, how can any girl or wife live in peace? Director Guan, all of us workers support you!"
