In fact, as the village party secretary, Lin Fuqiang would have definitely heard about the family planning office inspection and made preparations in advance. But he couldn't prevent the public from reporting him.
Li Xiuying was tortured by Ma Fengjuan for several years before she successfully gave birth to a child. During the birth, she was almost killed and two children were lost. Although she was saved in the end, she could not have another child in the future.
The whole family hated Ma Fengjuan to the core, and they also hated Lin Fuqiang's family.
Li Xiuying's son is also six years old and has his own friends in the village. When he went to his friend's house to play, he happened to see his friend's brother and Lin Erniu fishing in the river with their arms around each other.
Lin Erniu smiled and told her classmates that she wanted to catch a few fish to take back to nourish her mother. In fact, this did not reveal anything.
But Li Xiuying's son came home and told his mother that his brother, Erniu, from the village head's family, was fishing in the river and wanted to give his mother some nourishment. He also wanted to give his mother some fish when the baby was older. Li Xiuying smiled and said, "Okay, my son is so filial," and then turned around and went to grumble to her mother-in-law.
It seems that Ma Fengjuan hasn't appeared in the village for half a year. Could she have contracted some serious illness?
Mother-in-law Li Xiuying kept it in mind and passed by Lin Fuqiang's house several times every day. She wanted to see something and spread the news in the village, even if it made people feel disgusted.
Finally, two days ago, when Lin Fuqiang's mother went out, the door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap. When she passed by, she happened to see Ma Fengjuan with a bulging belly, feeding chickens in the yard.
Li Xiuying's mother-in-law's eyes widened and she hurried home to find her daughter-in-law. At first, they didn't think that Ma Fengjuan would be pregnant. After all, Lin Fuqiang would probably be celebrating his 60th birthday in a few years!
But now her belly is so big, it looks like she is about to give birth, it is a foregone conclusion that she is pregnant! Lin Erniu is already 12 years old, and Lin Fuqiang already has an older daughter, so how can she dare to give birth now?
Li Xiuying heard such explosive news when she got home from get off work. She didn't even wait at home and went directly to Cai Yinling's house. Cai Yinling is now the women's director of Sihe Village. Who else should she go to for this matter?
When Cai Yinling heard the news, she was silent for a while, and then told Li Xiuying that she was the director of the women's department, but Lin Fuqiang was still the top leader of the village.
Li Xiuying understood immediately and said, "Okay, just pretend you don't know about this. I will go out and report it."
Li Xiuying didn't even wait until the next day. That night, she asked her husband to take her to the township to report that Lin Fuqiang, the village party secretary of Sihe Village, had given birth to more children than allowed.
Today, staff from the township government came with people from the family planning office. Villager Li Xiuying and her family showed them the way. Women's director Cai Yinling stood by silently. Village security director Ma Dexiang received the news in the fields and ran over without even shaking the mud off his trouser legs.
Ma Dexiang smiled apologetically and pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, trying to pass them around to a few staff members. They righteously refused, "Can't you see we're busy? You still want to bribe us?"
Ma Dexiang was so frightened that he quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, I'm a village official myself, how dare I bribe... I just want to ask this... what's wrong with this..."
"Are you the village security director?" Someone looked him up and down, and Ma Dexiang nodded quickly, "Yes, I am."
"Then do you know about your village Party Secretary Lin Fuqiang's extra births? Doesn't he already have two children? Why is he having another one now?! Do you really care about national security? You couldn't have known about it a long time ago and still covered it up? Haven't you seen the slogan that says if one person has an extra child, the whole village will have to get sterilized..."
"No, no, no one knows..." Ma Dexiang shook his head like a rattle, "We only found out now. Ma Fengjuan rarely goes out. It seems that no one has seen her since the Chinese New Year this year..."
Some of the villagers watching nearby had come over with sickles. Judging from the situation, they definitely could not help Lin Fuqiang's family, and... since it involved Ma Fengjuan, they were not very willing to help.
Now Ma Dexiang's words had the whole village out of the spotlight. They all nodded in agreement. Could it be that if one person had an extra child, the whole village would have to undergo sterilization? It wasn't her, Ma Fengjuan, who had an extra child. It was none of their business...
"Yes, yes, yes. I live next door to her, and I haven't seen her go out for six months..."
"Yes, Ma Fengjuan doesn't have a good relationship with everyone. We don't interact much..."
…
When Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua arrived, they saw Ma Fengjuan being pulled by her hair by Li Xiuying, and two men dragging her arms out of the village. Blood was flowing from under her wide skirt, but no one cared. The only sounds were her and Lin Fuqiang's family crying and wailing.
Lin Guoqing quickly ran up to the two men and said, "Brothers, be careful. There's blood all over the floor. It would be terrible if someone died..."
The two family planning office staff members glanced back and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we've seen it all before. The adults won't die, but the children won't survive anyway."
Chen Chunhua was shocked when she heard this, and felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet. They said it was a small matter, wasn't it just a human life? How could these people say it so lightly?
"Yinling..." Chen Chunhua just opened her mouth to call out to Cai Yinling, who had been following silently beside her, wanting to say that even if an abortion was necessary for family planning, there was no need to be so rude and cruel.
Before she could say anything, Li Xiuying looked at her. There was excitement, hatred, and the pleasure of revenge in her eyes. Her eyes were red, and the red was no lighter than the color of the blood under Ma Fengjuan.
"Sister Chunhua, are you trying to speak up for Ma Fengjuan? This woman has offended your family countless times before, right? How can you still be so kind-hearted? I'm afraid that if you help her today, she'll turn around and bite your family tomorrow!"
The implication is probably that Chen Chunhua is a wimp who can't tell right from wrong and deserves to be bullied.
In fact, Chen Chunhua didn't know what she could say. Don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. The whole village saw Li Xiuying's suffering, and the culprit of her suffering was Ma Fengjuan.
She couldn't say anything like "Please let Ma Fengjuan go." In the end, she just said softly, "...That's enough. You still have a child..."
Li Xiuying grinned, "I know, if there wasn't a child, today wouldn't be like this."
Chen Chunhua: ...
Ma Fengjuan was dragged onto the cart, crying and screaming. Lin Fuqiang's mother finally caught up before the cart started, and she lay down under the wheels, crying and screaming. She kept praying for the Buddha to bless her, and praying that you beasts will get your retribution one day...
Li Xiuying's mother-in-law came forward and grabbed Mrs. Lin's legs and dragged her to the side, spitting at her as she dragged her.
"Retribution? What do you think it is now?"
