He Ting rushed over and when she reached Han Wanying, she was still panting and said, "Xiaoying, you're back. I was so bored these days when you were away."
Han Wanying supported He Ting and said, "Run slower."
Han Wanying saw that He Ting's breathing had stabilized and asked, "Where are you going? Is there something wrong?"
He Ting patted Han Wanying's arm and said, "Others may not know, but how could you not know?"
Han Wanying was even more confused. "I really don't know what's going on."
At this time, He Zhen and Yan Shuojing also caught up behind.
He Zhen looked at Han Wanying and whispered, "What happened this morning."
Han Wanying suddenly remembered that it was about Wang Zhi's family. No wonder He Ting said that I must know it.
Han Wanying nodded and said, "So where are we going?"
He Ting pulled Han Wanying and said, "Of course it's a criticism meeting."
The group quickly arrived at the brigade, where many people were already standing there.
Han Wanying looked at the expressions of these people, most of which were expressions of disgust and anger.
After a while, the team leader came out with the loudspeaker again and started speaking.
"Okay, everyone, listen to me. I'm sure you've all heard about Wang Zhi's family, so I won't say any more. Now is the time for Wang Zhi's family to reflect on their actions."
Then, Han Wanying saw the aunt from the morning, holding a piece of paper, with a pale face and red and swollen eyes, took the captain's loudspeaker and began to read her self-criticism.
“…”
After Wang Zhi's wife finished reading her self-criticism, someone in the village said, "Captain, we can't let this go. This family has caused us to miss out on great opportunities to make money these past few years. I've been making inquiries, and the money the Wang Zhi family earns from chrysanthemums alone is more than the work points we earn."
"It's not easy to earn this little money these days. The Wang Zhi family has hurt so many families in our village for their own family. Captain, you can't let them off easily."
Then the villagers echoed each other.
As Wang Zhi and his family listened to the villagers' voices, their faces turned even paler.
The captain's face darkened as he listened to the villagers' words. He raised his megaphone and said sternly, "What? Do you have any objections to my punishment? This matter would have been handled the same way even if it had been brought to the commune. Do you really want to send Wang Zhi and his family to the public security bureau?"
When the villagers heard what Captain Wang said, they didn't dare to say anything, but they still looked unconvinced.
Seeing that the villagers didn't say anything, the team leader continued, "Of course, I've contacted the supply and marketing cooperative. They'll still buy our chrysanthemums this year. Just hand them over to me when the time comes, and I'll take them to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"We can all go pick them in our free time, but if anyone slacks off at work and stealthily picks chrysanthemums, I won't accept their chrysanthemums if I catch them."
"Does anyone have any other opinions?"
The villagers below were very happy when they heard the team leader say that they could pick chrysanthemums to sell this year. Thinking that they could have other income this year, they quickly shook their heads to indicate that they had no other opinions.
The captain looked at the villagers with satisfaction, then coughed twice and continued, "Okay, next is Wang Zhi's family. Your behavior is too bad, so I won't accept your chrysanthemums for the next three years. Don't even think about sending chrysanthemums yourself. I've already made an agreement with the supply and marketing cooperative to only accept the ones I bring."
Wang Zhi's wife quickly knelt down in front of the team leader and cried, "Team Leader, we really know we are wrong. Our family depends on this money to make a living. If you don't accept our chrysanthemums, how will we survive? Please forgive us this time. We won't dare to do it again."
The captain didn't say anything, but an old man below stood up and spoke.
"It's not easy for you, but is it easy for us? Wang Zhi's family, last year, my grandson fell ill and needed money for hospitalization. Seeing so many families eating meat and buying clothes, I thought of borrowing some money from you."
"We were about to distribute the money, so we thought of borrowing some from you so we could return it to you during the Lunar New Year. I almost got down on my knees and begged you, but you still wouldn't lend us the money."
"My grandson's illness worsened because of this. If Han Yatou hadn't been willing to lend us money, my grandson would have died. He couldn't leave the hospital during the Chinese New Year and would have spent the whole New Year in the hospital."
"But what about you? You hid it from everyone in our village and enjoyed the New Year happily. Don't you feel guilty?"
The old man's eyes became redder as he spoke. Han Wanying heard her name and looked up. This man was Wang Zhi's neighbor, and his little grandson liked to play with her.
Just before the Chinese New Year, his little grandson came to him crying, saying that his brother was dying and asked to borrow money. Han Wanying looked at the little grandson and didn't think he was trying to deceive her, so she quickly gave the money to him.
Later, the family came to return half of the money to Han Wanying and wrote an IOU for the remaining half.
Han Wanying recalled, then looked at Wang Zhi's wife kneeling on the ground, thinking that he still had the nerve to talk about neighbors, without even looking at what he had done.
Han Wanying was thinking this, and everyone around her had the same idea as her, and their expressions when they looked at Wang Zhijia became even more disgusted.
Captain Wang hadn't expected this to happen. He looked at Wang Zhi's family with a bad tone and said, "Okay, it's settled. If you're not satisfied, you can postpone it for another year."
Wang Zhi's wife didn't dare to say anything more.
The matter ended just like that. He Ting originally wanted to take Han Wanying away.
Unexpectedly, Han Wanying stopped her and said, "You go first. I have something to do with Captain Wang."
He Ting looked at Han Wanying and whispered, "Do you still need to go out? Do you need another letter of introduction?"
Han Wanying smiled and said, "Indeed, I still need to go out, but this time I'm not going to get a letter of introduction. I'm going to transfer my file to the machinery factory."
He Ting shouted in surprise: "What? Machinery factory!"
The sound was quite loud, and the people around who had not left yet all cast curious glances at He Ting when they heard her voice.
He Ting also knew that her voice was too loud, so she dragged Han Wanying aside.
Seeing that there was no one around, He Ting asked curiously, "Xiaoying, are you going to work in the machinery factory?"
