Chapter 436: Crying

After waiting at the train station until two o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Jianguo finally saw Chen Yilon, who was exhausted.

He took Chen Yilong's luggage and called out naturally, "Dad!"

"Yeah!" Chen Yilong responded briefly, but his heart was full of thoughts. He never dreamed that he would be able to celebrate the New Year with Huo Jianguo as a father in this life.

After the two of them left the train station, Huo Jianguo took Chen Yilon directly to the bus station.

But before they had walked far, Chen Yilong stopped Huo Jianguo and said:

"Jianguo, this is the New Year and it's my first time to visit your mother-in-law's house. I can't go empty-handed. Take me to the market in the city and I'll buy some gifts to bring back."

"No need to buy, Dad, we have everything at home." Huo Jianguo replied.

"I have to buy it even if it's available. You still have to be polite. Take me there quickly." Chen Yillong was very stubborn.

Unable to persuade Chen Yilon, Huo Jianguo had no choice but to take Chen Yilon to the largest market nearby.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the market is crowded with people. Even though the ground is a little wet due to rain, it does not stop people from going out to the streets.

This was the first New Year that the people had celebrated after the reform. There were many new things at the market that had not been seen in previous years, so it attracted quite a lot of people to join in the fun.

"Su Mei really has vision. She has mentioned more than once that the economy will be liberalized sooner or later. I didn't expect that this day would come so soon." Chen Yillong looked at the crowded, bustling and prosperous market, his heart filled with emotion.

Huo Jianguo, who was following him, nodded and said, "She is very good."

"You are a lucky boy." Chen Yilon finally gave a positive evaluation of his daughter-in-law Su Mei.

The father and son walked around and bought things, and soon finished visiting most of the market.

Having bought almost everything, Huo Jianguo decided to take the train after shopping.

The last bus in the afternoon is at 3:30, and if it is any later, Huo Jianguo is afraid he will not be able to get back.

"Why are there so many people gathered ahead?" Just when the father and son were about to reach the end, Chen Yillong saw a crowd of people gathered ahead, so he asked naturally.

Chen Yilong didn't like watching the excitement. He just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Huo Jianguo a few more words, no matter what.

Before Huo Jianguo could say anything, the crowd watching nearby gave the father and son the answer through their chattering.

Crowd A: "How dare they sell jewelry? This family has no idea about the policy. They took out so much gold, silver and jewelry and asked for two or three hundred yuan. Isn't this speculation?"

Crowd B: "That's it. Ordinary families can't afford those jewellery. They are landlords, right? When their property was searched, they hid the items. If they were caught, this family would be shot!"

Crowd C: "It's what they deserve. If the policy hadn't been relaxed and they hadn't understood the situation, they would have slipped through the net."

Crowd member Ding: "Since the educated youth returned to the city, society has become much more peaceful. I haven't encountered a struggle session for a long time. Now I can indulge myself. Let's fight the landlords together."

·········

It turned out that he was caught for speculation!

Chen Yillong was isolated from the news while at the frontier, and he had not carefully understood the relevant policies regarding the separation of military and political power.

After hearing what the crowd was talking about, he couldn't help but ask Huo Jianguo with some concern:

"Aren't you going to stop cracking down on speculators? What's wrong with them?"

"It's not that they won't arrest people, it's that they have a new definition for this crime. It's okay to do small businesses related to people's livelihood, but selling jewelry... the country doesn't allow this for the time being.

There are detailed regulations on the types of businesses that are allowed, and the village has also carefully and carefully publicized the relevant content. If someone does not understand, it is probably because they did not listen to the promotional content. "

"So that's how it is." Chen Yillong nodded in understanding.

There was nothing to see in this bustle, Huo Jianguo urged: "Let's not discuss it anymore, hurry up, or we'll miss the bus!"

As they were talking, Huo Jianguo and Chen Yilong continued to squeeze the crowd forward.

Suddenly, Huo Jianguo came into contact with a cold gaze through the crowd.

After looking over subconsciously, Huo Jianguo saw three people who were caught in the middle of the crowd... For a moment, Huo Jianguo narrowed his eyes in surprise. He did not expect that these three people were exactly - Du Erniang's family of three.

When Huo Jianguo saw Du Erniang, she suddenly became excited and shouted at him, "What are you doing?"

"You arrested me for speculation, but that man's family also engaged in speculation by growing medicinal herbs, so why didn't you arrest him?

It was his wife who said in the village that speculation was not illegal and that ordinary people could do business, so you should arrest them.”

After Du Erniang finished speaking, the crowd naturally looked at Huo Jianguo and Chen Yilong, father and son, who were passing by from behind.

Huo Jianguo had no intention of paying any attention to it. Unexpectedly, he and Chen Yillong had only taken a few steps when they were blocked by several men in uniform.

Those people asked Huo Jianguo to go back and assist in the investigation.

His son was called away, and as a father, Chen Yilon had no reason not to follow him, so the father and son were called to the Industrial and Commercial Office.

The people in the office asked about Huo Jianguo's identity. After learning that the threatening-looking man following him was a founding marshal and his wife was Su Mei, and that their business was not illegal, they politely let them go.

Among those who were brought in together, Huo Jianguo can leave, but Du Erniang and her family are still being severely interrogated and investigated.

This made Du Erniang feel unbalanced. She was originally unwilling to answer questions, but she flew into a rage:

"Why are you all protecting the Su family? What benefits have you gained? We are all speculators, so why are you arresting us alone?"

"Because you are stupid." Huo Jianguo said mercilessly: "If you have time to find trouble with me here, you might as well think about where you will be buried after you die!

You have so much gold, silver, and jewelry, and you dare to sell them... I've shot you eight hundred times. I advise you to take care of yourselves, you are a family of fools."

After some sarcastic remarks, Huo Jianguo told Chen Yilon to leave.

After leaving the Industrial and Commercial Office, Chen Yilong couldn't help but ask Huo Jianguo: "Did that family offend you?"

"They have provoked Su Mei." Huo Jianguo could be patient with his own affairs and keep things calm, but he couldn't tolerate Su Mei's affairs at all.

Inside the Industrial and Commercial Office, Du Erniang's family of three looked ashen when they heard what Huo Jianguo said.

Suddenly, Yang Laosi and Yang Shukai looked at each other, and they seemed to understand each other's meaning instantly. They pointed at Du Erniang and said:

"It was all her idea. If anyone is to be shot, it's her."

"Those things were hidden by this bitch alone." said Yang Laosi.

Yang Shukai nodded and said, "Yes, it's all her."

Seeing her husband and son joining forces to send her to the gallows, Du Erniang burst into tears!
