Since all the villagers wanted to buy cloth at a low price, almost everyone in the village lined up early, even the Fu family was in the crowd.
"Yeah, why didn't I think this was speculation? Did we make a mistake?"
"Captain Ke, they won't arrest us too, will they?"
"Bullshit, we haven't bought it yet, so it doesn't count. Don't arrest us, arrest Gu Zhiqing and Fu Jingchen, they are the ones who sold the cloth..."
Qian Mei'e snorted disdainfully, "That's great, there are fewer troublemakers buying cloth, and we sisters can buy more."
Aunt Lu also came to line up early in the morning. "Sister Wan has always been cautious in doing things. Would she be stupid enough to let someone catch her? Don't forget, Sister Wan had a job before she went to the countryside. Selling these cloths must be related to her job."
Some villagers felt reassured when they heard this, but some timid villagers still retreated.
Gu Wanwan swept away the villagers who retreated and shirked the responsibility, and put them on the blacklist one by one. Those who wanted to take advantage of the benefits but were afraid of trouble were doomed to have no hope.
Seeing that Ke Gongde had come with such a big fuss, Fu Xiangling couldn't help but imagine the miserable scene of Gu Wanwan being arrested.
Liu Laixi couldn't suppress her ecstasy. She could finally avenge her family. If she had known this would happen, why did she give the money and the house to her family? Did it have to come to this? It was too late to regret now!
As soon as she returned to her husband's house yesterday, she snatched 40 yuan of family division money from Fu Yijin and deliberately took out 10 yuan to trick her sister-in-law into helping her go to the commune to report.
Not to mention Malay, who hated Gu Wanwan so much that he took his new mother-in-law, Widow Jiang, to the commune.
Just then, they met Fu Xiangling and Yu Cuihua on the road, so the group went together to report.
There is strength in numbers, and this is unchanging.
Secretary Ding secretly acquiesced and supported this situation, and Gu Wanwan was bound to lose this game.
So what if she is the future team leader’s wife?
If a crime is committed, one must accept the punishment. Maybe she can take the opportunity to bring down Fu Jingchen and make room for her husband. Then she will become the superior wife of the head of the regiment.
Her ideal was beautiful, but the reality was very cruel. She completely forgot that her husband was just a company commander, and even if he was promoted, he would only be a deputy battalion commander.
"You said that Gu Zhiqing wanted to engage in speculation and profiteering. Why did she have to do it so blatantly? She was even more rampant than the black market. Didn't she know that the higher-ups were cracking down on her?" Secretary Ding pretended to sigh. "Fu family, why don't you try to persuade them? Are you breaking the law knowingly?"
Fu Xiangling's original intention was to get rid of Gu Wanwan, but she never thought about ruining Fu Jingchen's future, so she frantically winked at Ke Gongde. Since he had cleared her name, he should keep his promise and never implicate Fu Jingchen. "It's obviously Gu Wanwan who harmed Brother Jingchen, and Brother Jingchen didn't know about it at all. Gu Wanwan, I beg you, let Brother Jingchen go free. You will ruin his future. If you really love him, you should sacrifice everything for him."
"Do you have any conscience? Do you want to see Brother Jingchen fired and put in jail?"
"It's none of your business." Fu Jingchen was as indifferent and venomous as ever. "Wanwan and I stand together. It's not that she won't let me go, but I can't leave her. How can a fish survive without water?"
Tears flowed wildly from Fu Xiangling's eyes like beads from a broken string. She turned around and begged her parents, "Mom and Dad, please persuade Brother Jingchen."
Chen Chunman felt mixed emotions and even felt that the daughter in front of him was very unfamiliar. Then he thought about how Liu Lai Xi and his daughter were whispering in the room yesterday, and his daughter went out with an excuse after a while. Could it be that she was the one who reported Gu Wanwan herself?
The Fu brothers are quite conflicted. On the one hand, they want to count on the fourth brother for help, but on the other hand, they are jealous of his rapid success.
"Old Four, I advise you to cut off your relationship with Gu Zhiqing. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. If you go to jail, what will happen to our family?"
"Why don't you let Gu Zhiqing in first, and then use your connections to rescue her?"
Although he said this, in his heart he was determined to oppose Fu Jingchen from dragging down the Fu family.
Liu Laixi looked at the two of them smugly, "Gu Zhiqing is not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Fu family. My sister is the right match for the fourth brother. My sister is virtuous and hardworking. She would never do anything to hurt the fourth brother. It's a pity that the fourth brother is now a prisoner and is not worthy of my sister."
"Of course, if you hand over your money and job, and apologize to my family, maybe I will reluctantly change my mind and act as a matchmaker between you and my sister. This is your only chance. It's up to you whether you want to or not."
Sun Xiaohua glared at her sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, you are such a troublemaker. The fourth brother is about to be arrested, and you still want to be a matchmaker. Have you forgotten why you were kicked out of your husband's family? How can you be so embarrassed to think about the fourth brother's money alone?"
If she were to say, it should be divided equally, which is fair and just. The fourth brother is in jail anyway, and the savings are useless, so it is better to take them back to honor the Fu family.
Old Lady Fu said sharply, "Take the unfilial things away, we won't stop you."
Old Man Fu pretended to be embarrassed and said angrily, "My Fu family has done our best for you, Old Fourth Brother. Since you choose to go along with Gu Zhiqing, don't blame us for killing our own relatives for the sake of justice."
Fu Yuzhong turned his head away and didn't look at Fu Jingchen, as if to say that he was disrespectful and unfilial and that he had only himself to blame.
Only Shen Chunman stood up to speak for the two men, "The fourth brother is not that kind of person. He and Gu Zhiqing would not engage in speculation and profiteering."
Yu Cuihua thought she had gotten her revenge and was very happy. "The evidence is all there, even the dirty stuff is right in front of me. Captain Ke caught me personally. What else can I say?"
Everyone thought Gu Wanwan would be frightened to death, but unexpectedly she remained calm from beginning to end, "Hey, Captain Ke, we are really enemies and meet again. It's quite predestined. Are so many people here to look for us? It's really too polite."
Fu Jingchen glanced at Ke Gongde and his group with contempt, "Are you tired? Captain Ke has tried to find fault several times, and every time you succeeded, I felt embarrassed and tired for you."
The two men fought fearlessly and gave the villagers a hard time.
Under normal circumstances, if you were caught engaging in speculation, you would either cry and make excuses, or take the opportunity to destroy the evidence. But now there is so much cloth that it cannot be sold.
Secretary Ding really couldn't understand why the two were still so arrogant in front of Ke Gongde at this point?
Zhao Guoming thought he knew Sister Wan quite well. If he didn't make a sound, it would be nothing. If he did, it would be amazing. Sister Wan and Brother Chen must have a life-saving trump card in their hands. "Secretary Ding, you didn't report it, did you? She was kind enough to bring benefits to the village, but you can't stand to see the educated youth Gu do well?"
Fu Xiangling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and she tried her best to hint and warn Ke Gongde.
However, Fu Xiangling underestimated Ke Gongde's ruthlessness. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so how could he just give up? Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen were his and Qingshan Village's number one enemies, and they had to be eradicated.
Who is Fu Xiangling? She just slept with him. How could she have the confidence to control herself?
"Gu Zhiqing is the mastermind, and Fu Jingchen is also implicated. He is an accomplice. Take them all away, including the dirty goods."
