Chapter 71 Going to fight with the dog for food
As they spoke, several people wearing red armbands all turned their gazes to Su Xiangwan.
She has delicate features, fair skin, and a big belly; she meets all the criteria.
Clearly, this is the capitalist's daughter that Xie Manman was talking about!
Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the staff at the tail-cutting event, Su Xiangwan nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly and said, "That's right, I am Su Xiangwan."
"In that case, you'll have to come with us! There are some issues we need your cooperation in investigating." The person in charge of this tail-cutting meeting was named Fei Zihao.
However, compared to Cao Huai-ren and his group in the capital, Fei Zi-hao's attitude was much more moderate.
"Director Fei..."
Just then, Tong Liqun arrived, took out a pack of Peony cigarettes, opened it and handed it over, saying with a smile, "Director Fei, you've come all this way, so don't rush back. Our village hunted a wild boar last night, and every household got their share of the meat. Director Fei, would you do me the honor of staying here for breakfast or dinner before you go back?"
As he spoke, Tong Liqun lit a cigarette for Fei Zihao and said with a smile, "As for any situation that needs to be investigated, our village committee has already prepared everything. Director Fei, please make do and ask us questions at the village committee."
If the cigarette had been offered by a member of the Gu family, Fei Zihao would definitely not have accepted it.
However, since it was Tong Liqun, the Party Secretary, who offered it, Fei Zihao and the others naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, their work sometimes requires the cooperation of village officials.
Moreover, Tong Liqun is extremely influential not only in Bakeshu Village, but also in the town and even the city.
Therefore, he couldn't refuse to give Tong Liqun face.
After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, Fei Zihao's attitude softened even more. Not to mention, Tong Liqun had said that he would cook wild boar meat for them that night.
Although they belong to the Tail-Cutting Society, they always have plenty of food and drink.
But wild boar meat that has just come down from the mountain is not easy to come by.
"Since Secretary Tong has said so, let's just ask him directly at the village committee!"
Upon hearing this, Tong Liqun winked at Gu Yanxiao and said, "In that case, Yanxiao, take your wife and go to the village committee to wait for Director Fei. We'll be there soon."
"Okay." Gu Yanxiao said, and accompanied Su Xiangwan toward the village committee.
Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as the person wasn't taken to the tail-cutting society, many things would be easier to handle.
Tong Liqun accompanied Fei Zihao as they slowly walked towards the village committee, saying, "Director Fei, although the Gu family has only recently come to the countryside, they have made a lot of contributions to our Bakushu Village!"
As he spoke, he recounted how the Gu family had diligently completed their task of rescuing Hou San from the mouth of a wild boar, and how they had handed over this scoundrel, Hou San, to the police station.
She then recounted how she had saved Xie Manman, and how Xie Manman, instead of being grateful, had repaid kindness with enmity.
"This Gu Zhiqing is a very principled and good educated youth. If it were anyone else, Hou San would definitely be dead."
Tong Liqun took a deep drag of his cigarette, then looked at the Peony cigarette he had inhaled directly to the butt, his face immediately filled with pain: "Sigh, I was so focused on talking that I forgot to take a few more puffs."
After listening to his words, Fei Zihao's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look: "Gu Zhiqing's way of doing things is just like the way things are done in the army."
Only people from such places have such a high level of awareness. Even knowing that the other party wants to harm the people around them, they still choose to let the law punish the other party instead of choosing to resolve it privately.
A knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law, especially someone like him who can fight a wild boar single-handedly. If he has no scruples or constraints, he will be an extremely dangerous and terrifying being.
"That's right, Gu Zhiqing was a man who made outstanding contributions in the war. If it weren't for his health..."
After starting to pay attention to the Gu family, Tong Liqun naturally found out about their situation, and now he told Fei Zihao everything in detail.
Fei Zihao, who had been nonchalant, fell silent after hearing this.
The country has been in turmoil for so long, and if it weren't for countless soldiers who sacrificed themselves one after another, they wouldn't be living the peaceful life they have today.
They cannot be without gratitude for soldiers who have risked their lives and shed blood for the country.
However, their "tail-cutting society" mainly deals with the "five black categories" of capitalists.
Especially now, there's a real-name report against Su Xiangwan. If they don't handle this well, it could escalate to higher authorities.
Thinking of this, Fei Zihao took a drag of his cigarette, casually tossed the cigarette butt on the ground, and said, "Secretary Tong, I understand what you mean. Here's what we'll do: I'll find out the situation first. If she's not a capitalist, then everything will be fine. But if she is, then I can only guarantee that this matter won't involve the Gu family."
"Director Fei..." Tong Liqun's expression immediately turned somewhat troubled.
If it were any other family, they might have heard Fei Zihao say that and would have been eager to hand over their daughter-in-law to ensure their own family's peace.
But as for the Gu family, he knew without asking that this was definitely impossible.
This matter is likely to be difficult to handle.
Fei Zihao's face darkened, and he said, "Secretary Tong, I've already agreed to let us question you in Bakushu Village out of respect for you. Please don't make things difficult for me. Otherwise, if this matter blows up, it will be hard for everyone to back down."
In the village committee office.
Xie Manman saw Su Xiangwan, Gu Yanxiao, and several staff members of the Tail-Cutting Association walk in together.
He burst into excited laughter: "Su Xiangwan, weren't you so smug? Did you think no one would know your identity as a capitalist's daughter after you came to this countryside? From today onwards, you'll be staying in the cowshed! I'm going to make you do the dirtiest and hardest work, and fight with the dogs for food!"
Xie Manman looked at Su Xiangwan with resentment.
He hated Su Xiangwan to the core. Why couldn't this capitalist's daughter divorce Gu Yanxiao back in Beijing, just like in his previous life?
In that case, Gu Yanxiao will come to Bakushu Village alone to heal his wounds, just like in his previous life.
And Xie Manman could then play the role originally belonging to Xu Yirou, showing him care and concern, and thus enter his heart.
In this way, Xie Manman will be the army commander's wife for life!
Xie Manman was clearly a reborn woman blessed by heaven. If it weren't for Su Xiangwan, how could she have ended up in this situation?
