Chapter 20 Demotion

The soldiers in those camps were very united. If they got angry because of a woman, he would be in trouble.

Especially when he heard that the other party's husband had been on the battlefield for eight years.

Judging from the age of this woman, her husband should not be very old. Such a young officer might not be a good person.

After glaring at Shi Tingyu, Hong Bo finally gave up the idea of ​​giving this woman to the leader.

He was naturally scheming to get to this position. He

would never do anything that would lose the big picture for the small.

The people who went to search did not find anything that could be used as evidence.

Instead, a short man came out of Shi's father and mother's room with a smile on his face, and patted his pockets towards Hong Bo obscurely.

Hong Bo's mouth twitched, and he soon calmed down.

The other people didn't find anything and found everything disgusting.

The lamps in the Shi family's room, the flowers and plants on the balcony, the tableware in the kitchen, and even the chairs were damaged by them.

But it didn't matter anymore. Once they were released, the house would be taken away, and the things inside would naturally not be given to them.

When Lu Weiguo came back, he saw the door of the Shi family's house wide open.

He walked in quickly and caught a glimpse of the mess.

The house that was still warm and cozy yesterday now looked like it had been robbed.

He had a cold face, and the original seven points of banditry instantly reached full level.

Hong Bo was startled. Why did the man look at him as if a murderer was about to commit a crime?

He saw his four pockets again, and he felt a little suspicious.

Lu Weiguo fixed his eyes on Hong Bo, who was obviously the leader. "Did you do it?"

Hong Bo looked at his narrow and cold eyes, not daring to look him in the eye for a moment, and said in a strong but weak voice: "What, what happened? It's inevitable to bump into things when looking for evidence."

"Bump into things? You have the strength to break even a solid wooden chair. It's a waste of talent if you don't go to the battlefield to defend your country." Lu Weiguo said sarcastically, "Who are your subordinates? I'll go ask them later. How should we deal with the deliberate damage to the country's public property?"

After hearing this, Hong Bo's heart sank. "You are a soldier, so you can talk nonsense? When did we damage national property?"

"Heh." Lu Weiguo sneered, "So, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are fine. If there is no problem, then the things here can only be regarded as private property. Do you want to settle it privately?"

"Who said they don't need it?" Hong Bo said angrily.

He received an order from his superiors, and he couldn't mess up this mission today.

"If they have problems and need to be taken away, then everything here, except my wife's things, must be treated as state property. Everything you destroyed belongs to the state. I'm not wrong to say that you damaged state property."

Seeing that Hong Bo and the others were speechless, Lu Weiguo continued to sneer, "With your style of doing things, I don't know how much you have damaged. If you don't explain this matter clearly today, I will report it."

Hong Bo finally understood what it meant to be caught in a dilemma.

He gritted his teeth and asked the short man who had just winked at him to take out the money he had taken.

He counted it, two hundred and fifty yuan and some bills.

He threw the money on the table beside him, and said word by word: "I will pay for the things that were damaged accidentally!"

Seeing Hong Bo's expression, Lu Weiguo thought that he was going to throw the money on the ground, but he didn't expect that he would throw it on the table.

He had a better understanding of Hong Bo's weakness.

Picking up the money on the table, Lu Weiguo did not give it to Shi's father, mother and Shi Tingyu, but kept it on himself.

Hong Bo, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, would not dare to do anything to himself if he gave the money away, but the person who collected the money might be hated by him.

His Lu family had been farmers with a good family background for three generations, and they were not afraid of investigation. Back then, his grandfather had been a militiaman in the village and fought against the Japanese. Now there is a letter of commendation issued by the leader at that time in the family.

Even if these people wanted to find fault, they couldn't find any fault with him.

Especially since he didn't think these people had the courage to confront him head-on.

Sure enough, when Hong Bo and his companions saw that the money was taken away by Lu Weiguo, they looked hateful, but they didn't make trouble anymore.

With Lu Weiguo here to calm them down, the other party's actions became much gentler.

At least there would be no collisions.

In the end, Hong Bo and his companions found nothing and left with a few books that were not controversial.

Shi Tingyu saw their backs and knew that his parents had to go to the countryside.

If the other party found nothing and went back empty-handed, it would prove that there was no evidence.

But they still took away a few books. Even though everyone knew that there was nothing wrong with the books, that was not the point. Those people did not have to take the books. They just needed an excuse, an excuse to let them go.

Shi's father and mother breathed a sigh of relief. They knew they could not escape this time, and they were not dissatisfied with the result.

In the end, Lu Weiguo even got back the expensive handling fees they left for those people, and it didn't matter if some things were broken.

Shi Tingyu also understood that this was already a good result.

Now they just had to wait for the order to deal with it.

Seeing Shi Tingyu bowed her head and said nothing, Lu Weiguo thought she was still sad and angry.

After all, it was hard to be calm when the home that they had lived in and taken care of carefully for several years was turned into this.

"I'll clean it up," he said.

As he spoke, Lu Weiguo began to pick out the broken things, put them together so they could be thrown away, and put the good ones back in place.

Seeing this, the three members of the Shi family also started to clean up.

Shi Tingyu cleaned up the broken flower pots on the balcony, and used old newspapers to wrap the roots of the flowers and plants that fell to the ground with the loose mud and wrapped them tightly with newspapers.

She planned to take all these to the military compound, as the plants were very stubborn and could all be saved.

Looking at the plants that were still in good spirits, Shi Tingyu's mood improved.

Shi Tingyu was planning to stay at home again today, but was driven to the military compound by her father and mother.

"At this juncture, you should go back to the military district and take away all the useful things in the house."

Shi Tingyu refused, "I will only take my clothes, and the rest of the things cannot be touched."

Lu Weiguo nodded, "Indeed, the gang already knows roughly what they have. If we take them away, they can sue us for embezzling state property."

They are best at finding charges for people.

Shi's father sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. If we hand it over to the country, we won't be abused by those people, and I will feel more comfortable."

After dinner, Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo returned to the military district family compound.

The next afternoon, the notice of Shi's father and mother's demotion came down.

The location was exactly Lu Weiguo's hometown, Qianxi Brigade.

Everyone felt relieved, as if the dust had settled.

Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo only had time to see them off to the car.

Before leaving, Lu Weiguo said to Shi's parents, "Mom and Dad, I've called my family, you can go ahead and rest assured. I'll take care of Xiaoyu, and I won't let her suffer any injustice." Shi

's parents nodded with relief. This was the first time Lu Weiguo called them mom and dad, and it was also the first time they heard Lu Weiguo call his daughter Xiaoyu. These first times together made them inexplicably believe that this man could do what he promised.
