After entering the courtyard, Team Leader Zhang and his group first bowed and greeted Lin Wencui before coming to Liu Haizhong's side, their faces full of flattery.
"Captain Liu, your son already told us about the matter on the way here. What are your plans?"
Captain Zhang's words clearly indicated that he wanted to clarify whether it was a mere scare tactic or a full-scale attack, to prevent good intentions from backfiring.
But Liu Haizhong was clearly very impatient and glared at him angrily.
"Team Leader Zhang, of course we'll handle this officially. Do I need to teach you that?"
Yes, yes, yes.
Having been reprimanded for no reason, Team Leader Zhang could only vent his anger on Jia Zhangshi.
He then gave orders to his subordinates:
"What are you all standing there for? Arrest this old woman who's spouting feudal superstitions, and then smash up all the furnishings in the house."
Upon receiving the order, two young men carrying guns quickly stepped forward and, one on each arm, subdued Jia Zhangshi.
The others rushed into the house and started smashing things in the mourning hall, even taking Jia Dongxu's portrait.
When Jia Zhangshi saw her son's portrait thrown to the ground, an inexplicable anger surged within her.
She didn't know where the strength came from, but she broke free from the restraints of the two guards in an instant.
Then she charged like a wild boar, slamming hard into Team Leader Zhang's stomach.
Ouch!
Caught off guard, Team Leader Zhang was knocked to the ground and rolled around, which terrified the two escorting personnel.
In an attempt to make amends, the two men immediately launched into a brutal beating at Jia Zhangshi.
The pain caused Jia Zhangshi to scream and cry out in agony. She could only worry about her head, not her buttocks, and her screams continued.
...
After the farce, Jia Zhangshi was taken away. Liu Haizhong took advantage of everyone's presence to reiterate the dangers of engaging in feudal superstition before announcing that the crowd should disperse.
After everyone left, Qin Huairu began to tidy up the house.
Although her home was smashed to pieces, she had no complaints.
She even hoped that her mother-in-law could be locked up for life.
That very night, Jia Zhangshi, who had been locked in the temporary warehouse, also received special "attention" from Team Leader Zhang, and was kept busy until midnight...
The following day was the weekend.
Liu Haizhong shouldn't have gone to the factory, but he went anyway.
Having been given special care until midnight, Jia Zhangshi saw Liu Haizhong coming over, and she was no longer arrogant as she was yesterday; she immediately knelt down.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Could you please let me go for Old Jia's sake?"
Upon hearing the name "Old Jia," Liu Haizhong frowned.
“Mrs. Jia, it seems your education wasn’t thorough enough. You still need to be reformed and relearned. We’ll talk about going back when you realize your mistakes.”
"Uncle, no, Captain Liu, I've realized my mistake and I'll never do anything superstitious again. Please, please let me go!"
Jia Zhangshi was still kowtowing, but Liu Haizhong remained unmoved and turned to leave the warehouse.
Because he was reminded of Sun Zhengguo's words, which told him to keep an eye on Jia Zhangshi.
Therefore, he planned to go to Sun Zhengguo first to report on his work and see how to handle the situation.
It has to be said that Liu Haizhong's thought process is truly bizarre.
Why would you go to Sun Zhengguo for something like this instead of Li Huaide?
Pushing his newly bought bicycle, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with himself as he rode towards the Sun family's courtyard.
...
The Sun family courtyard.
Sun Zhengguo was locking himself in his room, secretly writing slogans and big-character posters with a brush.
Because the content of these slogans was too provocative, he stored them in his online space after writing each one to prevent them from being seen by those with ulterior motives.
Just then, Ning Xiaowei's voice came from outside the door.
"Zhengguo, what are you doing hiding in there? I asked you but you won't tell me. The second uncle from our courtyard came and said he has something to report to you."
"Okay, please let them know, I'll be right there."
As he spoke, he temporarily stored the unfinished poster in his spatial storage before unlocking the door and leaving the room.
Liu Haizhong, who was sitting in the courtyard chatting with the old man, saw Sun Zhengguo come out and quickly stood up to greet him warmly.
"Director Sun, it's the weekend today, I hope I haven't bothered you?"
"Uncle, we're all neighbors, there's no need to be so polite. Is there something you need from me?"
After asking the questions, Sun Zhengguo sat down on the stone bench outside by himself.
Liu Haizhong then recounted what had happened in the courtyard the day before, and after finishing, he cautiously asked...
"Director Sun, I remember you once told me to keep an eye on Jia Zhangshi. I wonder if you are satisfied with how I have handled this?"
Seeing Liu Haizhong's attitude, Sun Zhengguo also gave it some affirmation.
"Second Uncle, you have a very high level of ideological awareness! Such black sheep must be severely punished, otherwise we would be letting down the power entrusted to us by the people."
"but…?"
As Sun Zhengguo changed the subject, Liu Haizhong was startled and quickly stood up again.
"However, what is it? Please give me your instructions, Director Sun."
"Sit down, sit down, Second Uncle, it's not a big problem."
After calming Liu Haizhong down, Sun Zhengguo didn't keep him in suspense and continued.
"Second Uncle, I remember when my father was the eldest uncle, he warned Jia Zhangshi that if she dared to cause trouble in the courtyard again, he could send her straight back to the countryside. I wonder if that still counts?"
After Sun Zhengguo's reminder, Liu Haizhong remembered that although several years had passed, it seemed that it had indeed happened.
He immediately understood what Sun Zhengguo meant.
"Don't worry, Director Sun's words are definitely true. I'll make arrangements as soon as I get back, and I'll make sure you won't see this person in the compound again."
As he said this, Liu Haizhong was already secretly planning to do some ideological work with Qin Huairu when he got back.
Let her play the victim and say that she can't afford to feed her mother-in-law, so that she can be sent back to the countryside in a legitimate way.
Little did he know how ridiculous his idea was.
If Qin Huairu were to learn of this good news, she would probably kneel down on the spot and shout, "I'll leave it all to Judge Liu!"
Therefore, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to go to the countryside in the end.
Seeing that Liu Haizhong was quite cooperative, Sun Zhengguo offered him a few words of encouragement and then prepared to give him a reward.
"Second Uncle, I think it's better to meet by chance than to arrange a meeting. Why don't you stay for lunch and we can have a good drink together?"
"Really? Director Sun, I'm so sorry." Liu Haizhong rubbed his hands together anxiously, trying hard to control his excitement.
Over the years, when it comes to privately inviting people to dinner, look at who Sun Zhengguo has invited in the courtyard; he's probably the first one to do so.
How could he not get excited? He could brag for days on end at the factory.
"Then it's settled. It's just a meal, Second Uncle, there's no need to be so polite."
Sun Zhengguo simply waved his hand and made the decision cheerfully.
Then he asked his grandmother to cook a few more dishes, which made Liu Haizhong extremely excited.
