Chapter 124 Report
Liu Kexin was a little hesitant, but she also knew very well that she could not help much with serious matters. If she refused now, it would be a bit too much. She bit her lower lip and was in a dilemma.
"If you don't want to go, just give me the meat pie in your hand." Chen Zhu took the thing from her hand swiftly when he saw her reserved behavior.
When visiting someone for the first time, one always has to bring a gift. It seemed inappropriate for her to go there empty-handed.
Liu Kexin looked at Chen Zhuyi's back, gritted her teeth and followed him: "I have to think of doing something."
There was also a certain firmness in these words, which made Chen Zhuyi curl up the corners of his lips slightly. He nodded and walked over there with her.
This used to be where Commander Lu lived, but now the owner has changed and the interior decoration has changed a bit, which makes it feel a bit desolate as if things have changed and the people have changed.
"What do you want from me?" Commander Zhou stood there with a gloomy face and asked after he knew someone was coming.
People like this who have fought on the battlefield always give people a murderous feeling, especially when they deliberately frown, which makes people feel more majestic.
Liu Kexin nervously grabbed Chen Zhuyi's clothes, trying to force a smile, but unfortunately she didn't even dare to say a word. She just nervously pulled and stood there stupidly without moving.
"We want to get Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao and Potato out of the cowshed." Chen Zhuyi said his request softly, with a serious look in his eyes.
This silly behavior with a bit of persistence made Commander Zhou frown, and the ferocious posture scared Liu Kexin to tremble, but Chen Zhuyi was not afraid. All these scars on his body were caused by protecting the people. What was so scary about it?
Commander Zhou remained silent, and Chen Zhuyi began to speak his mind. "Doctor Zheng is old, and we don't know when the new doctor will arrive, but Uncle Zhao has some medical skills, which can make up for it."
"Tu Dou is not young anymore. He is the future successor of the motherland. He should go to school and eliminate illiteracy. Are we going to watch a child become illiterate?"
"As for Aunt Zhao... she's old and sick. Although I need to teach her a lesson, I won't let her die of illness. So, I hope they can stay in my house temporarily and help me with things to relieve some of the pressure."
All of her excuses can be said to be far-fetched.
Uncle Zhao's identity meant that he could not move without permission. From the cowshed to the bluestone tile house where Chen Zhu lived, many people in the village wanted to live there but could not.
It is not easy to deal with people like Potato who have questionable ingredients. It may even cause conflicts, which is even more troublesome. As for Grandma Zhao, there is no need to mention her. Many people have died in the cowshed over the years. One more or one less doesn't really make any difference.
"That reason isn't enough." Commander Zhou retorted with a frown, a hint of coldness in his tone.
Chen Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "I believe they will redress their wrongs. The wronged people should not die here in vain. They still have human rights and should be able to see their own future!"
This is a bit harsh, but there are already signs of rectifying the wrongs in various places, but there has not been any large-scale action yet. Commander Zhou knows a little about the inside situation because he has been traveling all over the country.
He didn't expect that a little girl as young as Chen Zhuyi would have the courage to do such a thing. His expression became more serious as he looked at her: "Do you know what you are saying now?"
The naturally exposed coldness made Chen Zhuyi's heart suddenly tighten.
But she also knew very well that if she retired now, she would no longer be qualified to discuss this matter with anyone. Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao's health could not hold out for much longer. Instead of bearing regrets for the rest of her life, it would be better to give it a try now.
"I know, and I am willing to take responsibility for my idea. I believe they are innocent, and I am willing to believe that they can clear their names." Chen Zhuyi met Commander Zhou's eyes with even greater determination.
In the pervasive chill, she also vaguely saw a hint of relief.
There are actually not many people living in the cowshed. Among them, Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao are in the worst condition and need help.
"What a pipe dream." Commander Zhou said coldly, turned around and left.
This was clearly his house, but he was the one who left first.
"At least if you dare to think, then there is a possibility of success." Chen Zhuyi added, and put the meat patties on the table again: "After all, you are new here, so we give you some meat patties as a welcome."
She didn't expect these two pieces of cake to soften Commander Zhou's heart, but she had to talk about it in advance.
"Who needs this piece of cake?" Commander Zhou waited until they left before walking down. He sneered and seemed a little disdainful, but his eyes softened a little bit.
Adjutant Sun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "Old Zhou, after all these years, you still like to act fierce and scare people."
The two of them have been comrades-in-arms for many years and know each other's personalities inside and out.
"A little girl is not worth my attention. However, Lao Zhao and the others have indeed suffered here. The higher-ups have also hinted that we should just turn a blind eye to these people." Commander Zhou said, and sighed again.
He was originally still worrying about how to operate in a reasonable and compliant manner, but now that he was really sleepy, someone came to bring him a pillow. It would be a good thing to do it according to Chen Zhuyi and the others' ideas, so that Lao Zhao and the others could take a breath.
"We've been good comrades for many years. Even if we have different ideas, we shouldn't have to suffer so much. You should observe her personality and let her go if it's appropriate. I think this girl is quite good."
Adjutant Sun nodded in approval. The two had just chatted for a few minutes when they heard someone knocking on the door. They looked at each other and revealed the same confusion.
"I haven't started finding faults today, but a bunch of people have come to see me on their own initiative." Commander Zhou laughed and felt it was strange in his heart, but he didn't try to stop them and motioned Adjutant Sun to go and open the door.
Huo Jinzhi strode in quickly, saluted solemnly, and began to report the situation. His tone was calm, but he was able to grasp the key points around him. He accurately told all the information, which also made it convenient for Commander Zhou so that he didn't have to waste a lot of time observing on his own.
After the report was finished, Commander Zhou nodded, but seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Comrade Huo, do you have anything else to report?"
