Chapter 24 Recruitment
After Chen Zhuyi and Ye Xumei went back to change their clothes, they were notified to go to the Public Security Bureau. Not only them, but everyone at the educated youth site needed to go.
Chen Zhuyi and Ye Xumei walked hand in hand to the Public Security Bureau and found that Commander Lu and Huo Jinzhi were also there.
Huo Jinzhi was discussing the layout plan with Commander Lu at the time. When he heard that something had happened to Chen Zhu, he became worried and offered to go together.
Commander Lu sat at the top, staring at Huang Cuicui at the bottom.
Huang Cuicui huddled on the ground, not daring to say a word in front of everyone.
Commander Lu snorted coldly and turned to look at the police captain next to him.
"How would she handle this situation?"
The police captain said seriously.
"Intentional homicide without causing the victim's death is punishable by a prison sentence of ten years or more."
Huang Cuicui's whole body stiffened, but then she felt relieved.
She only had the courage to die once, and that anger dissipated after she was rescued. Now she can save her life, and she doesn't have to be sent down to suffer, and she doesn't have to marry that ugly man. She even feels a little satisfied with this result.
Chen Zhuyi also felt that the punishment was too light. Before she could speak, Huo Jinzhi, who was standing next to Commander Lu, spoke in a cold voice.
"In addition to imprisonment, as an educated youth who made such a serious mistake while working in the countryside, I think he should be sent to a farm for a few years to correct his thoughts and attitude before he can go to jail."
Huo Jinzhi looked at Commander Lu.
"The educated youth went to the countryside to build the countryside, but this educated youth, Huang, was so vicious. I think this is a bad example that should be reported and used as a case study to help educated youth everywhere correct their own ideological awareness."
Commander Lu nodded.
"Indeed."
After hearing what Huo Jinzhi said, Huang Cuicui suddenly raised her head and stared at him with her scarlet eyes, full of disbelief.
"Why should I be demoted? I want to go to jail! I don't want to go to reform school! Why should my case be used as a case study? I don't agree! I don't agree!"
Huang Cuicui looked at Huo Jinzhi with hatred in her eyes.
"No wonder you can't have children. You're so cold-blooded! I'm already in jail, and you still sent me down. You deserve to be childless! Your wife deserves to divorce you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present had different expressions, except for the person involved.
Huo Jinzhi had no expression on his face.
"Please don't mix my personal affairs with this. The punishment you received is reasonable."
Commander Lu coughed twice tactically and directly announced the punishment for Huang Cuicui.
He will be demoted for three years and then imprisoned for thirteen years. What he did will be published in the newspaper as a warning.
The results are out, and Chen Zhuyi is barely satisfied with them.
The combination of being demoted, imprisoned, and involved in the case was enough to make Huang Cuicui's second half of her life miserable after she was released.
Huang Cuicui was taken away and locked up on the spot, and would be sent to the northwest for reform the next day. As for her things, there would be a special person to help pack them up.
The other educated youth watched the whole process and left with heavy hearts. It was a reminder for them to understand the consequences of doing bad things.
Chen Zhuyi was called by Commander Lu to stay, and Ye Xumei left because he knew it was not appropriate for him to be there. Only two people were left at the scene.
Commander Lu looked at the girl in front of him who looked like his comrade, and his eyes turned red with self-blame.
"I promised Lao Wang that I would take good care of you, but now something so serious has happened. If anything really happens to you, I won't be able to face your parents in the future."
Chen Zhu smiled.
"How can I blame you? You've taken good care of me. It's Huang Cuicui's fault."
Commander Lu wiped the corners of his moist eyes and shook his head.
"Or maybe I didn't take good care of you, Zhuyi. Why don't you just stop working? The school on the island is hiring teachers soon. How about I arrange for you to join?"
Be a teacher?
Chen Zhu was stunned.
Commander Lu continued.
"Being a teacher is easier. You don't have to work. Besides, Yaya is in school. I feel more at ease with someone watching you."
Isn’t Yaya that little girl?
Seeing a little girl of four or five years old looking at her when she was in her teens, Chen Zhuyi felt a little amused and helpless.
Commander Lu took a sip of tea and said, "How's it going? You said I'd go to the school to say hello soon, and I can start work in a few days."
Chen Zhu thought for a while after he recognized it.
"I'm willing to be a teacher in school, but Uncle Lu, I want to apply for the job myself."
She feels that she enjoys teaching children to go to school, but she is not sure whether she has the ability to be a teacher. This can only be known through a job interview.
Besides, she didn't want Uncle Lu to use his connections to help her. If he left any comments, it would have a bad impact.
Coming out of the Public Security Bureau, Chen Zhuyi unexpectedly saw Huo Jinzhi waiting at the door.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Huo Jinzhi hummed.
"How are you feeling now?"
"It's okay, I just drank a few mouthfuls of sea water." Chen Zhu raised his head and looked at Huo Jinzhi, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for what you said just now."
If she had said that, the effect might not have been as good as Huo Jinzhi's, and she might have been accused of being cruel and unkind later.
The phrase that these people like to say most is "forgive others when you can."
Huo Jinzhi said, "You're welcome. By the way, I'm sorry for what happened that day. I might have offended you. I hope you can forgive me."
"ah?"
It took Chen Zhu a while to realize what Huo Jinzhi was talking about. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to get out of the two-bedroom apartment and get in.
"It's okay... no offense." Chen Zhuyi didn't want to recall the embarrassing moment of his nosebleed, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, if you're all right, I have something I want you to pass on."
"What?"
"Comrade An brought it to me a few days ago, thanking me for saving him. But the things inside are so valuable that I can't accept them. Could you please help me return it to him?"
Huo Jinzhi nodded.
"Can."
The two of them were walking together on the way back to the educated youth point. Chen Zhu thought of what Huang Cuicui had just said and couldn't help but glance at Huo Jinzhi. He sighed in his heart that he was indeed a soldier. He remained calm even when he was being criticized.
Thinking of his fertility pills, Chen Zhuyi spoke tentatively.
"Captain Huo, do you...have any plans to get married?"
After saying that, Chen Zhuyi wanted to slap himself.
Why ask so directly!
Huo Jinzhi paused, a trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes, and then he shook his head.
"No, you should have heard about my physical condition. Marriage will only delay the other party. I can't accept adopting someone else's child. I can be alone."
Chen Zhuyi was a little anxious.
Are you not planning to get married? How can this be possible! Then how do I send her the fertility pills?
