The weak Wang Songshan defended himself: "...I...ahem...I didn't..."
"Bullshit! You're not sleeping at night and you're running to the pigpen. If you're not stealing pigs, are you just taking a walk? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Chen Fengying kicked him twice in anger, then turned to Du Shouquan and complained, "Captain, this guy can't stay. In my opinion, he should be kicked out of our team."
"Kick him out! He is not welcome in our brigade."
"If he steals pigs today, he'll steal people tomorrow. This person is a nuisance. Don't keep him. Get him out."
"Get out."
…………
For a moment, there was a huge uproar, and the team members shouted indignantly, wanting to drive Wang Songshan away.
When the educated youth who arrived later learned that something had happened in the pigpen, they saw Wang Songshan lying on the ground covered in blood. They were afraid of being implicated by him, so they hid behind the team members and acted like turtles.
Du Shouquan was silent for a long time and finally calmed down the emotional team members with great effort. He looked at Wang Songshan with disappointment and said:
"Wang Zhiqing, the team treats you well normally, why are you doing this?"
Wang Songshan, already suffering from a mental breakdown, was provoked again. He sarcastically said, "...I've treated you well...How dare you...say that...I've been in the Red Flag Battalion for five years...I've made no contributions, but I've worked hard...But why did you give...the place to return to the city to Jiang Yunshu...Don't you know...I've been waiting for five years..."
His life was ruined and he could never return to the city. He only regretted that he had not succeeded just now. In that case, the little bitch Jiang Yunshu would not be able to return to the city either.
Jiang Yunshu frowned. Return to the city? How could she not know? The pig farming business had just begun and was about to get on track and make a lot of money. She would not be so foolish as to return to the city.
Du Shouquan said in a deep voice, "Who said I gave the place to return to the city to Jiang Zhiqing? How come I didn't know about this?"
Wang Songshan replied: "...Everyone is saying...Captain...you can't hide it from me..."
“Our brigade does have one vacancy this year, and the other officers in the team and I have already decided on the candidate, and that person is you.
Wang Zhiqing, now that you've done this, I can't help you even if I want to. You've truly disappointed us."
These words shocked everyone present. Wang Songshan, the instigator, went berserk after learning the result.
"...How is it possible...You must be lying to me...Yes...It's you who is lying to me...You are all in cahoots with me..."
Accountant Liu Datong couldn't stand it any longer and stood up and said, "Wang Zhiqing, what the team leader said is true. Your name was submitted to the commune two days ago. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be on the list of people returning to the city this year."
But Wang Songshan himself was not up to the task. The team members looked at Wang Songshan covered in blood and felt no sympathy. They just thought he deserved it.
Wang Songshan was crying and laughing, looking like he had gone crazy. Suddenly, he forced himself to stand up and knelt down in front of Du Shouquan:
"Captain... I was wrong... I won't dare to do it again... Please forgive me this time... My parents are still waiting for me in the city... I have to go back..."
"You're not just wrong, you're incredibly wrong, Wang Zhiqing. You disappoint me so much."
As soon as Du Shouquan finished speaking, Wan Xinyu ran over in a hurry: "I found this in the pig trough. I don't know what it is."
Wang Songshan saw the oil-paper bag in Wan Xinyu's hand and looked panicked, so he quickly reached out to grab it. However, Wan Xinyu, who had been prepared, naturally would not let him succeed.
Jiang Yunshu realized that there was something fishy about the paper bag, so he took the medicine bag from Wan Xinyu's hand and opened it to find a powdery substance.
Her heart sank immediately and she quickly ran to the pigpen. After seeing that the pigs were safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The other members of the team also rushed over at this time. Du Shouquan asked anxiously: "Jiang Zhiqing, is the pig okay?"
"It seems fine now, but I don't know what will happen tomorrow..."
The team members who were eager to protect the pig became even angrier. If Du Shouquan hadn't stopped him, Wang Songshan would have been beaten into a meat pie.
Du Shouquan's serious face was filled with anger. "Tell me, what kind of medicine is Jiang Zhiqing holding?"
"...I don't know...it has nothing to do with me...it's none of my business..."
Jiang Yunshu said suddenly: "It's none of your business, then why did you try to snatch it just now?"
“…I…I…I didn’t steal it…” Wang Songshan stammered, his eyes wandering around with guilt, but he just bit his tongue and said the medicine bag had nothing to do with him.
He knew which crime was more serious, stealing pigs or poisoning. Once the matter of the medicine bag was exposed, he would be completely finished.
Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Jiang Yunshu didn't give in to him. He asked someone to catch two mice from the field and then fed them the medicine in front of everyone.
The mouse that was alive and kicking just now suddenly twitched all over, blood came out of the corner of its mouth, and it died.
Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale. When they came to their senses, they looked at Wang Songshan who was slumped on the ground with anger and started to beat him.
Du Shouquan, who was completely disappointed with Wang Songshan, did not step forward to stop him. If it were not for his position as the team leader, he would have wanted to go up and teach this vicious guy a lesson.
How could Wang Songshan dare to do that? Those were twenty pigs plus two adult pigs, the hope of the whole team. How could he do that?
Everyone stopped only after venting their anger, but the hatred in their hearts only grew. Finally, at the strong request of the team members, Du Shouquan took people to take Wang Songshan to the commune overnight.
It was already evening when Du Shouquan returned. The team members who came to Du's house to wait for news saw him return and quickly surrounded him.
"Captain, what do the commune say?"
"That bastard was shot."
…………
Du Shouquan, who had not slept for a day and a night, forced himself to stay awake and told everyone about his experiences in the commune.
Wang Songshan endangered collective property in a serious manner, but it was discovered in time and no serious consequences were caused, so he was sent to a nearby farm for reform.
When the team members heard the result, they were very dissatisfied and clamored to go to the commune to seek justice. Finally, they were persuaded by Du Shouquan.
In addition to the farm transformation, Wang Songshan broke three ribs and his leg was broken. The doctor said that even if he was cured, he would still be a cripple in the future. This was his own fault and he could not blame anyone else.
Du Shouquan sighed inwardly. If it weren't for this, Wang Songshan would have returned to the city to be a university student in the near future. What a pity...
Jiang Yunshu could not feel any sympathy for Wang Songshan's experience. What's more, he did this to frame her. She was the one who raised the pigs. If anything happened to the pigs, the team would only cause trouble for her.
"Captain, last night's incident was all thanks to Liang Mingli and the people in the cowshed. If it weren't for them, so many pigs in our brigade would have been poisoned to death. Shouldn't we thank them?"
The team members who were originally dissatisfied with Liang Mingli could no longer find fault with him because what Jiang Yunshu said was true.
