Xu Yuzhen described the situation in great detail.
"Originally, the third son wanted to send them money and buy tickets for them to return, but something happened soon after, and the matter was later dropped. The leaders knew that my grandson Bai Chen had been in danger many times, and that six years ago, when the Xu family had its first incident, my son-in-law Bai Zhuo and daughter Xu Zhixin died in a fire.
I hope some things will end with my daughter and son-in-law being burned to death, but some people don't think so! Bai Chen is a boy, so I didn't worry before, but now Bai Lu, a girl, has emerged. I'm worried that the group that harmed my son-in-law and daughter will get the chance to harm her, and what happened back then will happen again! After petitioning the leaders today, from this moment on, the Xu family has nothing to hide between me and my sons!"
No one spoke.
Everything is too quiet.
As resolute as Xu Yuzhen was when he left, what he did now was a slap in his face.
But the old man wanted to secure everything for his granddaughter and prevent her home from catching fire...
"Speaking of this matter, there is something I want to make clear in front of the leader!" Ye Jianling originally came to the platform today just to talk about this matter. Although he had asked Cheng Shouming to surrender himself, he knew how bad the impact of the incident was!
He discussed this with his sister, who suggested that he use all his current savings to compensate the Xu family, but this would involve private transactions, so he had to report this first.
Ye Jianling recounted everything he knew, and then explained what his sister had meant. "This is what happened. Cheng Shouming has now accepted his punishment, and his wife feels she still owes the Xu family something. After all, they were involved in the hard times they endured while being sent down to the countryside. The family now has over three thousand in savings. I hope Mr. Xu won't be disgusted and will accept it!"
Xu Yuzhen didn't agree. "The real victim in this matter is the second son, Xu Zhiyi. Although I am his father, I can't make this decision for him! I'll go back later and ask him, and then I'll give you an answer!"
Xu Yuzhen knew that this was the only way the matter could be handled now. Cheng Shouming could be demoted and experience a few years of hardship, but what would that do?
The trauma has been caused, and any subsequent compensation is actually futile, and it will only give the perpetrator psychological redemption!
Jun Zheng embarrassedly brought up all the previous events, seemingly intending to expose some of them in front of the leaders. "Leaders, let's talk about what happened to Mr. Xu's family now. Leaders, do you think we should bring back the relatives who haven't returned yet?"
This topic is still somewhat sensitive at this moment.
"We agreed to transfer the money, but then they disappeared. I don't think we can get through to them now." Mr. Hua wasn't throwing mud, but stating a fact. "Do your best! Leave me their contact information and I'll have our director stationed there look for them!"
"Trouble you, Mr. Hua!" Xu Yuzhen told him everything, and the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down.
After returning to the base, he asked Xu Zhiyi if he wanted to seek compensation if Cheng Shouming was willing to pay compensation.
After a few days of settling down, Xu Zhiyi calmed down a lot. "Dad, let Lulu handle this. She'll handle it, and it'll be more satisfying than anything we can do."
Then, things returned to Bai Lu's hands.
This was the first time that the Xu family had gathered together since arriving in Beijing to have a meal and hold a small meeting.
Regarding the paper that Xu Zhiyi had previously published, or in other words, the question of how to deal with Cheng Shouming, the culprit who caused the Xu family's fate to change.
"Compensation is definitely required. Three thousand yuan is just the other party's attitude, but it's actually not much." Bai Lu said, and asked Jun Jing, "Did Dad mention how Guo Shouming was dealt with?"
"Demoted." Jun Jing said, staring at Bai Lu, as if conveying some message.
Bai Lu knew that he wanted to say that the demotion would be over soon, and this kind of punishment was meaningless now!
"Doesn't the name 'demotion' sound a bit nice? I think the name 'labor reform' is good, what do you think?" Bai Lu said, raising the corners of her lips.
Jun Jing understood and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay! Dad is catching people who are corrupt, so we can put these people together for reform, along with the previous ones."
"A few years shouldn't be enough, right? There's no need to drag your family along for this kind of thing. What could be worse than going in jail yourself while your family members are looked down upon outside? I have to tell Dad that anyone sent to labor camps in the future must have a notice posted so that everyone outside knows.
We should also inform the public about what these people have done through our internal online announcements. Newspapers and notice boards at important institutions can also be used to prevent others from doing the same thing. The public has a right to know about these things," Bai Lu said, hinting at something.
"Okay! I'll tell Dad!"
The couple talked back and forth, and Xu Yuzhen understood the general meaning of their words, but he didn't understand the most important thing.
Jun Zhengnan worked very quickly and asked Ye Jianling for his opinion that day.
Ye Jianling was silent for a long time, and Jun Zhengnan was told to do what he should do!
Then, he went to find his sister.
Ye Jianling's sister actually couldn't quite understand, "Since the Xu family is willing to accept the money, why are they unwilling to release Guo Shouming?"
Ye Jianling hated his sister for not being able to think straight. "At the beginning, I thought he was being unreasonable. He didn't want you to marry him, but you insisted on marrying him. Now you think it's the Xu family's fault? If you were in the Xu family, a member of the Xu family, and experienced these injustices, would you let go of the grudges and laugh it off?"
Do you think three thousand is a lot? If the Xu family hadn't been ripped off by Cheng Shouming, wouldn't the family have earned more than three thousand in the past six years?!"
"But aren't they living well now? Everyone knows that things are very good in the research base now!" The woman argued.
"That's Xu Zhixin's daughter trying to make her proud! Do you think I don't know that you've known about what Cheng Shouming did? When I asked you about it that day, you hesitated and hesitated! Later, when something happened, you came to me again and asked me to help you lobby. Do you think I'm in a good position now?
I'm telling you, this is the last time I, as a brother, will make decisions for you. If you don't, don't come to me again no matter what happens next!" Ye Jianling was really furious this time.
However, the woman returned home and told Cheng Mingzhu everything Ye Jianling had said to her.
