Chapter 39 Yu Songyan expended considerable effort…
Yu Songyan went to great lengths to investigate the Liu family thoroughly. The solution to the Liu family problem was simple: just expose their affair.
But we need to maximize the benefits of this matter.
He has to gain something! Connections, status, money... anything.
If the Liu family falls from power, and the deputy factory director Fang, who is associated with the Liu family, falls from power, who will fill all those vacant positions?
Yu Songyan definitely couldn't fill the gap; he was a worker at a food factory and had no intention of changing factories.
Those who want to be deputy factory directors, those who want to be accountants.
People who share common interests can easily become friends.
Of course, character is also very important; Yu Songyan doesn't like to be friends with cunning people.
He portrays himself as a victim, protecting his sister from being pressured by the Liu family with money and power, and not wanting to lose his job.
He was forced into a corner, and given that the Liu family possessed power that ordinary wage earners could not possibly have, he suspected that the Liu family had embezzled money from the factory.
After investigation, it turned out to be true.
After that, things went smoothly. Director Zhang and Director Jiang, with whom he had made connections, were even more proactive than him.
Director Zhang is highly experienced and wants to become the deputy factory director. He also wants to become the factory director after the old factory director retires.
Director Jiang wanted to curry favor with Director Zhang and then promote his own daughter to become the accountant.
The Liu family built a vast network of connections at the oil mill by selling their daughter, and their interests were thoroughly infiltrated. They had been stealing oil for three or four years.
At the end of each month, the Liu family would haul away their good oil as waste, meeting up at the back of the factory.
The matter should have been resolved the night before last, but Liu Duobao, the precious son of the Liu family, refused to accept other blind date partners and went on a hunger strike to force his mother to change her mind. However, the hunger strike was too painful. After failing to go on the hunger strike, he ate and drank excessively, which damaged his stomach. He vomited, had diarrhea, and developed a high fever, so he was hospitalized. His sisters, parents, grandparents, and other family members were worried about Liu Duobao and stayed with him at the hospital.
The absence of key personnel caused the oil theft to be delayed until last night.
Director Zhang arranged for people to act as spectators, waiting at the rendezvous point. After Liu Duobao's third sister's father-in-law opened the back door, Liu Duobao's father and his second sister's husband led a group of people to transport the oil out and secretly sell it to the buyer.
When the two sides met, Director Zhang led his men out. When the buyer saw so many people, he abandoned the money and goods, unscrewed the cap and threw the oil on the people. The oil was very slippery, and everyone fell to the ground with a thud. The buyer fled desperately.
They chose a clever location; it was easily accessible from all directions, with every path leading out.
He was carrying a dagger and stabbed everywhere. The white blade went in and the red blade came out. His ferocity really frightened the others, and they didn't dare to chase him too closely.
In the end, Yu Songyan used a slingshot to knock the dagger out of the other man's hand. His two buddies rushed up with sticks and beat the man senseless.
These two guys both work at the oil pressing factory; one is a full-time employee, and the other is an apprentice.
At this point, everyone had been captured.
There were about thirty bottles of oil on site. The large bottles contained rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and peanut oil, weighing about a thousand kilograms, while the glass jars contained sesame oil, weighing about a hundred kilograms.
The amount of oil stolen by the Liu family in just one month is already an astonishing figure.
Those parasites are incredibly audacious.
Immediately afterwards, Director Wang led everyone to tie up these 'thieves,' string them together, and take them back to the oil mill. Once all the evidence was gathered, they would be sent to the police station.
The evidence was easy to find; the comrades from the Revolutionary Committee of the oil press directly searched the house.
Liu's mother and Liu Duobao were startled awake. Liu's mother blocked the people from coming in, pointing at them and yelling, "Who are you people? How dare you come to my house and cause trouble! Jiang Lu, aren't you afraid of offending Factory Director Fang!"
Director Jiang chuckled, "Don't worry, Director Zhang is probably already at the director's house." He then ordered his men to tie up Liu's mother and throw her aside, before stuffing a pair of socks into her mouth.
Liu Duobao was so frightened that he trembled and squatted down next to his mother.
Liu Duobao's family is really rich. There's a set of wine-red leather sofas in the living room, which are soft and comfortable to sit on. The drawers are full of good things: chocolates, White Rabbit milk candies, malted milk powder, and all kinds of pastries and fruits.
Liu Duobao's room was extremely luxurious, with a radio on the table, money and tickets in the drawers, and three watches!
Hidden in the bed where Liu Duobao's parents slept was over eight thousand yuan in cash, along with piles of various receipts, a dazzling sight. There was also a small dressing box containing Liu's mother's jewelry.
Gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold bangles, gold earrings, and gold rings—putting them together like this is simply dazzling.
More than 3,000 yuan was confiscated from Deputy Factory Director Fang's home, but his wife had a lot of gold and silver jewelry, clothes and shoes, which she kept in a separate room.
It was through these means that Liu's mother gradually corrupted the wife of Deputy Factory Director Fang.
The three sons-in-law of the Liu family also had their homes confiscated. The eldest and second daughters were quite wealthy, each possessing two or three thousand yuan in cash. The third daughter's family was of modest means and didn't own anything of value, as they had no power or influence; they were simply gatekeepers at an oil mill.
The third daughter's mother-in-law cried and begged to atone for her crimes by doing good deeds, and produced her husband's diary, which recorded the dates and quantities of oil the Liu family had stolen over the years.
The whole thing is about being jealous of how much others got, while their family only got a tiny bit! If he hadn't helped open and close the door, would these people have been able to steal the oil?
But he did indeed record the events of those three and a half years very clearly.
Embezzlement is a serious crime. Everyone in the Liu family line is finished.
Yu Songyan went home happily, planning to buy Jiajia a pair of leather shoes when it got light. He had finally escaped poverty and was on his way to a comfortable life. He had followed her around for half the night, and in such a chaotic environment, he had naturally taken quite a few good things.
He took all of the deputy factory director's youngest daughter's jewelry—bracelets, necklaces, and rings—and also a large amount of cash and banknotes.
He didn't touch anything else.
He knew he couldn't take these things home, so he hid them. When he arrived at a dilapidated temple in the suburbs, he tallied up his haul for the day: two jin and four liang of gold and silver, 110 "Great Unity" coupons, and mostly cloth coupons, meat coupons, grain coupons, and industrial coupons!
He had several rings and a few relatively light necklaces and bracelets in his pocket, weighing about 100 grams in total. He also had eleven 100-yuan bills and a handful of loose change. His ration coupons contained some cloth coupons and meat coupons. He hid the rest of his money under the wall of the dilapidated temple.
After putting my baby away, I leisurely went home.
When he passed by a state-run restaurant, he bought fifteen large meat buns. He ate one on the way and the rest when he got home, so that each of them could have two.
After finishing what he could say, he put everything in his pocket on the table. He first took out two larger rings and gave them to Yu Hongding and Cheng Xiuying respectively, and then took out two more exquisite necklaces and gave them to Yu Jiamin and Yu Jiajia.
But Yu Jiajia was still sleeping inside, so he kept it for now: "I'll give it to Jiajia later."
Yu Songchuan: "What about mine?"
Yu Songyan took out a bracelet: "This is for you. There are two bracelets left. I'll keep one for myself and give the other to my elder brother."
These were all carefully selected by him, mostly around 10g, with the ring being a bit heavier at 15g.
Cheng Xiuying slipped the ring onto her finger, shook it, and said with a beaming smile, "This ring is quite pretty. Songyan's trip was definitely worthwhile."
She was willing to bet that these things were just a drop in the ocean! But at least the second son got back a penny, and she wanted Yu Songyan to give back the rest so she could choose carefully, but Yu Songyan would definitely not agree.
Others also thanked Yu Songyan.
Yu Songyan felt everyone was being overly calm. They were certainly happy, but not ecstatic. Shouldn't they be overjoyed to see gold? He tentatively asked, "Is there any other happy occasion in the family?"
Cheng Xiuyin put her hand on Yu Songyan's shoulder, her smile widening even more: "Our family is having a ton of good news! Let me ask you something first. Did you have anything to do with Granny Xu falling into the latrine? And did you say there was gold in the toilet?"
Yu Songyan nodded: "I had someone spread the word, and even had someone pretend to fish it out. If there's gold in the toilet, Granny Xu will definitely be eyeing it."
Cheng Xiuying patted his shoulder hard: "Where did you get this information?"
Yu Songyan raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something, and said incredulously, "There really is gold in the toilet? No way!" He pondered for a moment, "It can't be on the roof beam, can it? Tell me quickly, if Granny Xu finds the gold, I'll regret it to the core."
Cheng Xiuying began to recount what happened last night.
Yu Songyan was stunned and speechless. But when his mother actually found a large yellow croaker, three silver ingots, and a locked box in the toilet, he was filled with remorse.
Grass!
It actually exists!
If he had touched it sooner... he could have lived a life of wealth and luxury.
Cheng Xiuying: "Grandma Xu and Pan Hongying's families have both found good things, but we don't know exactly how much."
Yu Songyan inhaled, feeling a little suffocated.
There's a sense of helplessness when someone steals your precious possession, and you can only watch helplessly.
Who would hide gold in the toilet? Are they out of their mind?
Yu Songyan's head was throbbing with jealousy. He said, "Hide everything outside. Don't leave it at home. The ring I just gave you too, hide it outside! Quickly!"
Cheng Xiuying said, "We found them all hidden outside." She then asked everyone to hand over their necklaces, rings, and bracelets, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and handed them to Yu Songchuan. "You're young, so no one will think much of it. Keep them safe and hide them somewhere else, not in the slaughterhouse."
Yu Songchuan: "Okay."
Cheng Xiuying: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's pretend we don't know anything and stay away from where the things are hidden."
Yu Hongding walked over from the window, no longer staring outside, and sadly picked up a basin to wash clothes.
Yu Songyan: "Is Big Brother also catching up on sleep?"
Cheng Xiuying snorted coldly, "He's just asking for it." She went into the kitchen to check on the food.
Yu Jiamin recounted Yu Songqing's heartbreak.
Therefore, Yu Songqing missed out on everything.
Yu Songyan clicked his tongue. "Lu Xiaoqing's good aunt is finished, and their family will suffer too. Lu Xiaoqing's good brother will definitely be fired from the oil mill. If her husband is related to the Liu family, she'll have to go back to her old ways today."
Cheng Xiuying slammed the door shut and rushed into the east room, where she beat Yu Songqing, who was lying on the bed.
Yu Songqing was already in pain all over his body, and now the pain has only intensified.
When the food was almost ready, Cheng Xiuying went to the west room to call Yu Jiajia to eat. She took down the new clothes that she had washed the night before, stretched them out, and asked Yu Jiajia to change.
"Sweetie, get up and eat breakfast, then take a nap at noon. If you're really sleepy, don't go to work after breakfast; I'll call in sick for you."
Yu Jiajia was still sleepy. She yawned, sat up, and hugged Cheng Xiuying's waist: "Mom, you're so good to me! I'll get up now, and we'll go to work together later!"
Cheng Xiuying wished she could change her daughter's clothes, brush her teeth, and wash her face. Her precious baby, her lucky baby, her darling.
Yu Jiajia changed into a dress with a Peter Pan collar and ruffled details. She designed the dress herself; the fabric was beautiful, the workmanship exquisite, and it made her look exceptionally good! Yu Jiajia immediately perked up, "Mom, doesn't it look good?"
Cheng Xiuying said with a loving expression, "My darling is so beautiful."
Yu Jiajia: "Thank you, Mom, for choosing such a nice fabric! Mom, buy another seven feet and make one just like it, so we can wear matching outfits to work."
Cheng Xiuying beamed: "I can't wear a skirt to work, it'll be inconvenient to hit someone."
Yu Jiajia: "Then let's wear them together when we go shopping."
Cheng Xiuying was tempted: "Buy it!" She took a comb, made Yu Jiajia sit down, and combed her hair. "My sweet baby's hair is so beautiful, so black, shiny, and smooth. It looks good no matter how you comb it."
Yu Jiajia chuckled, looking at herself in the mirror: "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for making me so beautiful."
The system's hair darkening and skin whitening effects are enhancements on her original appearance; she was already beautiful, and now she's even more beautiful.
Cheng Xiuying braided Yu Jiajia's hair into two pigtails, which hung down in front of her chest. She looked so cute and beautiful, and Cheng Xiuying liked her very much. "Your second brother is back. Yesterday we found a big yellow croaker, three silver ingots, and an unopened little box. Don't let it slip, my dear. And don't tell your eldest brother about these things."
Yu Jiajia: "...Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Second Brother didn't go because of our family."
Cheng Xiuying patted her hair: "My dear, you're too naive! Listen to your mother. Your second brother went out yesterday and made quite a bit of good stuff. He even brought each of us a piece of gold jewelry. Your father and I got rings, you and the third brother got necklaces, and the eldest and fifth brothers got bracelets. He brought out so much; he's probably richer than us. Don't feel bad for him!"
That's why they say mothers know their children best.
Yu Jiajia: "...I'll listen to Mom."
Cheng Xiuying then recounted the rumor about gold hidden in the toilet and the news of the Liu family being arrested and their property confiscated.
Yu Jiajia was very happy. Her second brother did a great job, and the Liu family deserved it!
After she finished washing up, the Yu family started their meal. She saw Yu Songyan and ran over happily, "Second Brother."
Yu Songyan chuckled: "Jiajia is even more beautiful now. This dress is really pretty. I'll buy Jiajia a pair of little leather shoes to wear at noon today."
Yu Jiajia: "Thank you, Second Brother. I've been so worried about you these past two days. Are you alright? Are you hurt? You look so tired, you even have dark circles under your eyes."
It's clear that he hasn't slept well for several days in a row.
Yu Songyan felt a warm glow in his heart: "I'm fine."
Yu Songqing finished washing up and came in from outside. The main room suddenly became quiet. Yu Songqing did not notice and sat on the stool waiting for dinner.
The way people looked at Yu Songqing was somewhat sympathetic; he had truly missed out on so much. He had no right to know, no right to receive anything, and the gold and silver jewelry had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Cheng Xiuying laughed in exasperation, "Young Master, are you up for dinner? The cornbread and pickled vegetables are yours, go get them yourself."
Yu Songqing said in disbelief, "You guys eat meat buns and rice with cured pork ribs, and I'm eating cornbread?"
Cheng Xiuying: "What do cured pork, ribs, and rice have to do with you? The second son did buy your meat buns, but I won't let him give them to you. This cornbread is your food. If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Nobody is forcing you."
She picked up a piece of pork rib and ate it—it smelled delicious! Her mood, influenced by her boss, instantly brightened.
Yu Jiajia was already hungry and started eating, only to find that there were six ribs in her bowl! Everyone else only had two ribs in their bowls. She put two ribs on Cheng Xiuying's plate, saying, "Mom, I can't finish them."
Cheng Xiuying's heart melted, and she even took Jiajia out for pork rib noodles for lunch today.
Everyone was enjoying the delicious food, and no one said a word for Yu Songqing.
Yu Songqing felt heartache, stomachache, and body pain, and couldn't bear to watch any longer. "I'm going to work."
Cheng Xiuying: "The bicycle isn't yours anymore, give me the keys."
Yu Songqing was in so much pain he was about to faint. "This is the car I assembled!"
Cheng Xiuying: "Give me the key, don't force me to do it."
Having no other choice, Yu Songqing dropped the keys and hurried out.
Cheng Xiuying placed the keys on the table: "Second, third, and fifth brothers, take turns riding this bicycle. You can decide the time yourselves."
Yu Jiamin doesn't know how to ride a bicycle yet; she needs to learn first. "You two ride first, and I'll learn to ride a bicycle these next two nights."
Yu Songchuan: "Second brother has been so busy these past few days, let's go for a ride!"
That's how the allocation of bicycles was decided.
Yu Jiajia thought the food was delicious, hahaha!
After the meal, Cheng Xiuying took Yu Jiajia to the Chen family's house, bringing less than two pounds of pork ribs and two bunches of grapes, which she put in a net bag and hung on the handlebars. She then said to Yu Hongding, "We'll go straight to the factory later, you don't need to wait for us."
Chen Xuefeng lives in the staff quarters of the steel rolling mill. His family lives in the cadre building, apartment 501. It is a large apartment with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The room is clean, bright, and spacious.
Cheng Xiuying fell in love with it at first sight.
She also wanted to live in the cadre dormitory.
Liu Xianghong was not home, and Engineer Chen was away on a business trip and had not yet returned. Only Grandma Chen and three-year-old Chen Dongsheng were at home. As soon as the little guy saw Yu Jiajia, he rushed to her, calling her "Sister Jiajia".
Yu Jiajia pinched his little face, "Little Mantou has grown taller."
Cheng Xiuying scooped up the little one: "You've gotten a bit chubby."
The little guy knew that this old lady could lift him up high, so he shouted, "Fly, fly, fly!"
You can't toss it up in the hallway, you'll hit your head.
Grandma Chen warmly invited the two into the house, saying, "Oh dear, you brought things with you! Take them with you later, and save them for Jiajia to eat."
Cheng Xiuying smiled and said, "Auntie, if you keep doing this, I won't come next time. These are spare ribs that the Public Security Bureau gave us as a reward. I was thinking you could make soup for Xiaomantou too."
Grandma Chen: "!!! A reward from the Public Security Bureau?"
Chen Xiuying: "There's also lamb leg. After we get the lamb leg in a while, I'll bring some lamb to Xiaomantou to eat."
She lifted Chen Dongsheng onto her shoulders: "Little steamed bun, do you want to eat meat?"
Chen Dongsheng shouted, "I want to eat!"
Grandma Chen asked curiously, "What's going on? Did the Public Security Bureau give us meat as a reward?"
Her daughter-in-law treats the factory like her own home, and she hasn't come back yet, so she doesn't know what's going on at the factory.
Cheng Xiuying recounted the story, and Old Mrs. Chen was genuinely happy; the Yu family was truly kind! She went to get some canned fruit, opened a jar, and let the two of them eat some first, while she prepared to go inside to cook.
Cheng Xiuying pulled her along, saying, "Jiajia and I have already eaten. We'll be going to work in a bit."
Grandma Chen: "How can I leave without eating anything? I'll go fry two eggs, it'll be ready in no time!"
Cheng Xiuying: "We really ate it! We'll definitely eat it another time when we have time. We're going to work now."
Grandma Chen turned to look at the clock on the wall; it was already 7:45. "Oh dear, it's all my fault for getting so engrossed in your story. I didn't even have time to cook." She then took some sesame leaves for Yu Jiajia to take with her. Cheng Xiuying tried to stop her, but Grandma Chen said, "Xiuying, if you keep doing this, I'll get angry too. Give these to the child to eat."
After leaving the Chen family's house, Cheng Xiuying exclaimed, "We'll live in an apartment building from now on!"
Yu Jiajia whispered, "When Mom becomes a section chief, will she also be allocated an apartment?" She wanted to take a shower every day!
Cheng Xiuying: "I don't know."
Cheng Xiuying rode her bicycle to the factory. Once there, she chatted with people along the way. Afraid that Yu Jiajia would be late, she told her to go to work first, while she herself would make it to the office on time.
When Yu Jiajia arrived at the office, she brought sesame leaves and offered them to everyone. The sesame leaves were delicious, fried until crispy, and topped with black sesame seeds. Everyone took a piece to taste.
They kept praising how delicious it was.
Liu Weidong also brought a bunch of grapes today and put them on Yu Jiajia's table for everyone to eat. He also led everyone in gossiping, mainly about the unusual thing that happened when Granny Xu and her husband went into the toilet, and how the toilet collapsed in the middle of the night and broke their legs.
Yu Jiajia really felt that Liu Weidong was quite something; he even knew about these latest gossips.
Liu Weidong: "Everyone is spreading rumors that there is gold in the latrine pit."
This is gossip with a certain flavor, but it's also truly unbelievable.
Lin Mei: "If there really were gold inside, the cleaners would have discovered it long ago. There's no way anyone else would have a chance."
Liu Weidong: "So everyone says the toilet was demolished, and they suspect the gold is in the beams or inside the wall."
Yu Jiajia raised her hand: "I have something to say. After the wall collapsed, it woke us all up, and everyone went out to help. The family whose leg was broken had nothing on them, not even inside the bricks. It was my mom and Uncle Wang who took them to the clinic."
Zhou Wenbin: "I don't know why anyone would believe that gold is hidden in the toilet. Why would you hide it in the toilet of all places?"
Yu Jiajia: "Yes!"
Everyone is curious whether there is gold in the toilet!
The morning flew by. Yu Jiajia drank tea, ate snacks, and read the newspaper. It was almost time to get off work. Yu Jiajia was looking forward to having pork rib noodles for lunch, and then adding some meat and vegetables!
Cheng Xiuying called out from outside, "Sibao!"
Yu Jiajia closed the newspaper and hurried out.
Cheng Xiuying led Yu Jiajia to ask Chen Litong for leave, and then took Yu Jiajia downstairs.
Cheng Xiuying led Yu Jiajia away quickly: "The county revolutionary committee has surrounded our compound and is putting up big-character posters. I know you like to join in the fun, let's go back and take a look together."
Her house is as safe as it gets; if anything happens to anyone else, nothing will happen to her house.
She wanted to go back and see which family would be unlucky.
Besides, I really wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't go back. What if someone broke in while I wasn't home and secretly slipped something into the house? I wouldn't be able to explain myself no matter what.
It seems the person who hid the gold discovered it was missing, and that this person has connections with the county revolutionary committee!
That makes sense. Ordinary people don't have that much gold; only those who plunder homes could accumulate so many valuable things.
Cheng Xiuying rode her bicycle and soon arrived at the gate of the compound. Yu Hongding and Yu Songqing had also arrived and were blocking the entrance.
On the wall by the main gate were large, scarlet posters that said there were enemy spies in the compound who were traitors and deserved to die.
The Revolutionary Committee, leading a group of Young Red Guards, was staging a rebellion, determined to find enemy spies. A dozen or so Young Red Guards stood guard at the courtyard gate. People were also stationed at the door of each household, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
At this point, anyone who dares to obstruct the process will be labeled a suspected enemy agent.
The people in the courtyard dared not move, dared not stop, and dared not tear down the big-character posters.
Director Xiao scanned the faces of everyone in the courtyard, trying to see if they felt guilty, but they didn't. His gaze froze when it landed on Yu Jiajia's face. This dilapidated courtyard actually housed such a beautiful girl; she was as pure as a pristine lily, and as radiant as a dazzling rose. Still young, she possessed an innocent and naive air, like a blank sheet of paper.
It can be freely sculpted by others.
He licked his lips and looked away.
Yu Jiajia felt very uncomfortable being stared at. She turned her head to look, but there were too many people and she didn't know who it was. She moved behind Cheng Xiuying and instantly felt safe.
The young soldiers were filled with fervor, determined to search house by house! They were determined to capture the enemy spies.
Grandpa Wang was very supportive: "We must find the enemy spies! I'm an elder in this compound, so let's start with my house. I'll open the door for you all."
He has nothing at home, yet he's not afraid at all! He's even quite eager to try. Judging from Granny Xu's smug look, has she found something good? Eating steamed buns and stewed chicken soup, how much money does he have at home?
And then there's the Yu family, that whole family is incredibly cunning. They must have gone to the toilet yesterday too! His wife saw them leave the house, but she hasn't seen them come back for a while.
He felt terrible all morning.
If no one else has found anything, that's fine, but why is it that Granny Xu's family seems to have found something good? Old Yu's family might have found something good too. I don't know what kind of luck this family has had lately, they've been incredibly lucky.
"Search my house second!" Grandpa Hu rolled his eyes and spoke up.
He was equally enthusiastic; he shared the same sentiment as Grandpa Wang.
He also suspected that Granny Xu had really found something good and made a fortune. As for the other families, he felt that anyone could have found something good! He hoped that the Revolutionary Committee would find it all.
Fang Yong also mustered his courage: "If the third family searches my house, I will open my door wide to welcome the little heroes!"
The young Red Army soldiers were deeply moved. Listen to how enthusiastic they were upon hearing about the enemy agents! They were all revolutionary comrades!
Pan Hongying's husband, Zhang Quan, said, "Isn't this inappropriate? We live in the same compound, how could there be any enemy agents?" Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked to the ground by a young man with a buzz cut.
Director Xiao, standing next to the crew-cut youth, asked slowly and deliberately, "Can't we search your house? Is there something there?"
Pan Hongying rushed forward: "We can investigate, we can investigate, start with my house."
Who would dare say anything more?
Anyone who dares to disagree will be in for a beating.
Since we're going to be searched anyway, let's search first.
Cheng Xiuying stepped forward with her chest out and head held high: "Comrades, we should start with my family. My family is a glorious family. We were just awarded a third-class merit by the Public Security Bureau yesterday! Comrades, we must find the enemy agent!" She waved her hand: "I'll lead the comrades to open the door."
She wore a brand-new third-class merit medal on her chest.
The young comrades stood in awe, respecting the hero! The leading young comrade waved his hand and followed Cheng Xiuying inside.
Yu Jiajia tried to follow, but a young man stopped her. If Yu Jiajia hadn't reacted quickly, he would have grabbed her chest.
Director Xiao raised his eyelids: "What are you going in for?"
He wasn't very old, probably in his twenties, but he didn't look like a good person at all.
Yu Jiajia trusted her instincts. She took two steps back and said, "That's my house. I want to go inside and follow them."
Yu Hongding quickly stepped forward and pulled Yu Jiajia back, about to speak.
Director Xiao stopped, cracked his knuckles, and said, "Go."
Yu Jiajia ran inside, and Yu Hongding and Yu Songqing followed her in.
Cheng Xiuying had arrived at her doorstep. She took out her key and opened the door to the main room. "Thank you for your hard work, comrades. Let's search." She took out a thermos and poured brown sugar into it. "Comrades, there's water here. Help yourselves if you're thirsty." She then led everyone to search bit by bit. "Be careful here. I usually keep Chairman Mao badges here." She even showed everyone the Chairman Mao badges.
This made the young soldiers extremely envious.
Anyone who could own such a large badge would be incredibly lucky.
Cheng Xiuying then showed everyone the prizes they had recently won: "These are prizes from the county committee and the street office, these are prizes from the steel rolling mill, and these are prizes from the public security bureau."
The Yu family was truly both politically correct and professionally competent, and Cheng Xiuying showed no mercy when searching their home, instructing everyone to move the bed, cabinets, and tables around and search slowly, just be careful not to damage anything.
The young soldiers were all admiring of strength. After learning about the Yu family's past, they searched the east room in great detail. When they were searching the west room, Cheng Xiuying said, "These are the rooms where my two daughters live. Could you please ask a few female comrades to search them?"
This request was granted.
The search was equally thorough, and we looked at all of Yu Jiajia's prizes and certificates. After searching Old Yu's house, it was time to go to Old Wang's house.
Grandpa Wang was initially very hopeful of finding something, but he found nothing. Instead, the young soldiers began to admire and respect the Yu family. Even the various receipts and money that the Yu family had were government rewards.
Grandpa Wang refused to believe it: "We haven't even searched the roof yet! If we're going to search, we should search it thoroughly."
Grandpa Hu: "We also need to search the roof beams and the rat holes."
Fang Yong: "We also tapped and knocked on the bricks and the ground to see if there were any hidden things."
