Chapter 148 Tang Qiuxia Gets Her Retribution
Tang Qiuxia saw villagers from one production team after another walking into the office, and finally a dense crowd of people standing in front of her, shining flashlights in her eyes. She immediately knew she was doomed.
"Captain Xiang, I... I know I was wrong. Please forgive me just this once. The tractor wasn't broken, was it? Cen Yan, please plead for me, Captain Xiang is willing to listen to you..."
Tang Qiuxia tugged at Cen Yan's sleeve, begging for mercy.
Cen Yan lowered her eyes, glanced at the woman who was gripping a corner of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, and smiled softly.
He then pushed Tang Qiuxia away.
“I just gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Tang Qiuxia, I have no intention of being your enemy, but you have been going against me at every turn. Now that your misdeeds have been exposed, you’re finally putting on airs and begging me to let you off? It’s too late.”
Cen Yan brushed the hem of her clothes and took a few steps back.
"Captain Xiang, this is a private matter for your Xiangyang Brigade. It has nothing to do with me, a member of a medical team. I won't bother you. You can handle it however you see fit."
After finishing her sentence, Cen Yan pushed aside the others and slowly walked outside.
Xiang Yiguo wouldn't tolerate Tang Qiuxia either; the fact that the tractor was almost destroyed meant he had to give the rest of the production team an explanation!
"We've caught the thief red-handed, and the evidence is conclusive. Let's lock Tang Qiuxia in the warehouse first, and after the harvest is finished, we'll hold a general meeting of all production team members to publicly criticize Comrade Tang Qiuxia's misdeeds!"
"No, no! Captain Xiang, I beg you, I'm only nineteen. If I'm criticized and sent to the enforcement team, my life will be over. Please, I beg you to forgive me just this once!"
Tang Qiuxia immediately knelt down and apologized.
"Save that energy for protesting at the commune meeting! Take her away!"
After Xiang Yiguo gave the instructions, two female comrades immediately stepped forward, took Tang Qiuxia away, and locked her in the warehouse to await criticism.
"Nurse Cen, we really owe you a lot this time. Without you, our production team wouldn't have had a tractor driver and wouldn't have been able to transport grain quickly. You also helped our production team train several women who can drive tractors. Thank you so much."
Xiang Yiguo and the others thanked Cen Yan.
"After the autumn harvest, I will definitely hold an awards ceremony to express my gratitude for your kindness, and then go to your workplace to present you with a banner."
"No need for the commendation ceremony and banners, these are things I should do. Captain Xiang, Xiaolian and Caiyun are already proficient in driving tractors, so starting tomorrow, I won't drive the tractor anymore. The medical team still has a lot of things to do," Cen Yan said with a smile.
Xiang Yiguo was somewhat worried, "Xiaolian and Caiyun are just a group of young girls. Without a master to keep an eye on them, what if something happens..."
"Just come to the medical team to find me if anything comes up. Besides, birds eventually fly away when they grow up, and so do tractor drivers. Can I, as their mentor, keep an eye on them every single time?"
Cen Yan's words made sense, and Xiang Yiguo laughed heartily, "Then there's no need to trouble Nurse Cen. As for the commendation ceremony and the banner, you must not refuse; they are a must."
However, all of this will have to wait until the rainstorm ends.
Cen Yan returned to her temporary residence with a flashlight in one hand and an umbrella in the other.
Driving a tractor during the day and catching the culprit who sabotaged it at night is exhausting.
Cen Yan returned home, threw herself onto the hard bed, and closed her eyes to rest.
Squeak—
The door was pushed open, and Cen Yan sat up in bed, looking at the man who entered. "You're back? The rain seems to have lessened a lot today. How did the harvest go?"
