As soon as Hu Lingquan arrived at the office in the morning, he felt something was wrong. Why did everyone look at him strangely?
The leader's face was even more serious. "Xiao Hu, come to my office."
Hu Lingquan felt a little nervous. His performance at work was usually pretty good, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?
"Take a look for yourself!" The leader threw the anonymous letters directly at Hu Lingquan. "Several of them, left right in front of our office. This has caused a very negative impact! I need an explanation from you."
Hu Lingquan's face paled. Had his previous gift-giving been exposed? Or had he finally revealed that he had abused his power for personal gain, and that the director of the Joint Movement Office had brought down his sworn enemy?
But when he finished reading the letter, he found that the thing he least wanted others to know was revealed!
Everything he had said to someone else that day was written down in the letter. He was not able to stand up straight, and he had not married because he was afraid of being found out. He wanted to find an honest man from the countryside to marry to cover up his shortcomings, and he would divorce the man after he recovered from his illness.
Hu Ling's face turned pale, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. "I...I...I..."
"That's ridiculous! Xiao Hu, it's not scary to have flaws. What's scary is not admitting your shortcomings, and using them to hurt another innocent person! How can I feel comfortable promoting you with such character? Go back and reflect on this. I will report your problems to your superiors truthfully."
The leader's words made Hu Lingquan tremble in his heart. "I can explain, leader. Listen to me, this letter must have been written by someone to frame me. You can't convict me based on a letter without any evidence."
"Hmph, look at this again."
Hu Lingquan looked at the medical records scattered on the table and was completely panicked. How could this thing appear here? Didn’t he hide it in the cabinet?
Even if they didn't want to believe it in their hearts, the county leaders couldn't help but believe it when they saw Hu Lingquan's panic. "Xiao Hu, don't worry about whether this is true or not. Go home now. Otherwise, the people outside will look at you and make you unable to hold your head up."
Hu Lingquan walked out of the unit dejectedly. It seemed as if there were pairs of eyes staring at him from behind, making him feel uneasy.
"How can there be such a person? He is useless himself, yet he still wants to bring trouble to others?"
"Look at what's written in the letter. It's quite convincing. I've met Secretary Hu's mother. She's sharp-tongued and very assertive. She seems like someone who would come up with such an idea."
"It's terrible. What's wrong with not being able to have children? Just say no openly. And marrying a rural girl is easy to control. What's the matter? For us rural people, life is not life, life is not a lifetime?"
Everyone started talking at once, but their focus was not on his two taels of meat as Hu Lingquan had thought, but on denouncing their poor character.
Now, Hu Lingquan can forget about finding a partner. The power of public opinion will make this matter spread further and further.
Hu Lingquan returned home and told his mother about this. His mother was furious. If her son couldn't find a wife, wouldn't their Hu family be extinct?
"It must have been that woman who leaked it that day!" Hu's mother immediately made a decision, "No, I have to go find her!"
Hu Lingquan was exhausted. "Mom, why are you looking for them? If this gets out of hand, I might even lose my job."
For the sake of her son's future, Hu's mother gritted her teeth and endured it temporarily, but she didn't expect that a few days later, when she was getting medicine for her son in the hospital, she saw Li Ying again.
Hu's mother was immediately furious. She ran over and grabbed Li Ying, yelling, "You damn bastard! You told everyone about my son's affairs, and now he can't go to work. I'll beat you to death!"
Li Ying came to see Bi Meiyu today, but as soon as she arrived at the door of the ward, she was grabbed by the hair, twisted and scolded, and slapped several times in the face.
"You old thing, you dare to hit me!" Li Ying was afraid of Fu Baoer, but not an old woman. "I'll kill you, you old fool."
The two struggled for a long time and were pulled apart by doctors and nurses. Li Yingcai saw clearly who hit her and her heart skipped a beat. She had offended an official and would be in big trouble.
Hu's mother was still cursing. Li Ying listened carefully for a while and figured out that someone had written an anonymous letter about what happened that day. She almost immediately guessed that it was written by Fu Baoer.
Should I tell them? Li Ying suddenly hesitated. What if Fu Baoer came looking for revenge? She was only fourteen years old. Even if the Hu family knew, what could they do to her?
Just when Li Ying was hesitating, Bi Meiyun rushed out of the ward and wrestled with Hu's mother again, repeating over and over again: "Your son is a weakling, a eunuch, a useless waste. What's wrong with being a secretary? He's still a coward who can't have a son..."
Although Hu's mother had been talking just now, she didn't mention Hu Lingquan's identity at all. Now, Bi Meiyu has said it all. Immediately, the onlookers began to speculate.
"Being a secretary for the boss? Secretary Li or Secretary Hu?"
"Secretary Hu, Secretary Li is so old, doesn't he have two children? He shouldn't be a eunuch, right..."
Hu's mother's face turned pale and blue, and her hands trembled as she pointed at Li Ying and Bi Meiyun. Li Ying decided to go all out. Instead of offending Fu Baoer, she might as well offend Secretary Hu. At worst, she would go and make a scene in front of the leaders. They were all very concerned about their reputation and didn't dare to do anything to the people.
"Everyone, listen to me. It's his son who said he wanted to find a wife from our countryside and asked someone to mediate for my daughter. But he can't even do that. How can I let my daughter marry him? Tell me, isn't he conscienceless?" Li Ying lied without blushing or beating his heart.
