Chapter 488 Let them move away
Zhuang Ganmei gained the upper hand over Lin Fang and seemed to have regained a lot of confidence. She even dared to look up at people on the way back.
As he walked into the alley in front of his home, he vaguely felt that someone was following him, so he turned around suddenly and saw a middle-aged woman who stopped awkwardly.
She looked like a foreigner, with high cheekbones, a slightly square jaw, and three-dimensional facial features, which were somewhat different from the gentle features of women in Wu.
Zhuang Ganmei didn't recognize this person and thought that she must be the daughter-in-law of someone else's family after he left.
He ignored her and went home.
When Zhuang's mother heard that Zhuang Ganmei had returned, she hurried out to greet her:
"Ganmei, where have you been? You didn't come back all night, and mom was so worried."
Zhuang Ganmei gulped down a large glass of water and then replied, "I'm going to meet Lin Fang."
Zhuang's mother was surprised: "Why did you go to see her? Don't you believe it?"
Zhuang Ganmei sneered, "I beat that guy up real good! It was so satisfying!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang's mother finally let go a little and cursed angrily, "Serves them right! Those two bastards are no good either. They really take after their parents, and they even stole a lot of money from me!"
Zhuang Ganmei frowned and looked at her mother.
Zhuang's mother told him the general story.
"I will make Lin Fang pay back all this money in the future!" Zhuang Ganmei said gritting her teeth.
"That's right, my son is capable!" Zhuang's mother felt very relieved when she heard Zhuang Ganmei vent her anger.
"Mom, I'm going to catch up on some sleep. I didn't sleep well in that little hotel yesterday."
"Okay, but you have to get up at four in a while," Zhuang's mother said hurriedly, seeing her son's puzzled look. "Look, the neighborhood committee and the factory came today and said they wanted to pay a return visit. I said you were out meeting friends, and they said to come back at four in the afternoon."
Zhuang Ganmei then remembered that on the day she was released, the prison guard had told her that she had to accept supervision from the neighborhood committee and the factory after she came back and she could not refuse.
Thinking of life in there, Zhuang Ganmei shuddered and nodded.
He slept until three in the afternoon. When he got up, his mother made him some noodles while he waited for the comrade who came back to visit him.
"Mom, is Zhou Huaiyi still the director of the machinery factory?" Zhuang Ganmei asked.
Zhuang's mother curled her lips and said, "He's no longer the director of the machinery factory. He's quite powerful now, the director of the Municipal Industrial Bureau!"
Zhuang Ganmei was a little surprised.
Zhuang's mother seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly:
"Son, listen to me. I'm not afraid of you seeking revenge on Lin Fang. Her family doesn't care about her anymore, so she can't cause any trouble. But you can't go after Zhou Huaiyi! He's very capable!"
Zhuang Ganmei lowered her head and ate noodles without saying a word.
"Really, listen to me, he and Huang Ling, these two people are not people we can afford to offend now." Zhuang's mother knew it clearly in her mind.
She could only bully her eldest son, but she couldn't bully her eldest daughter-in-law or her daughter, let alone Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi.
Hearing Huang Ling's name, Zhuang Ganmei raised her head again: "How is Huang Ling so amazing?"
"Rich! They're both powerful and wealthy! They drive everywhere they go, and I heard she even has bodyguards. She bullies us all the time, but what can we do? Hey... do you know why the neighbors don't like us? It's all her fault!"
She talks about our family affairs outside every day, and now everyone in these streets knows about it...ah..."
Zhuang's mother looked bitter and resentful.
"She just thinks my eldest brother is useless, and I'm not at home. If I were at home, I definitely wouldn't let them bully you for no reason! Mom, when I make a lot of money and surpass her, I'll take back all these debts!"
"Yes! Let's not argue with them now. Let's talk about it later." Zhuang's mother patted her son's hand.
Here, there was a knock on the door, and Zhuang's mother hurried to open the door.
A group of people walked into the house. There were two male comrades from the neighborhood committee, three comrades from the factory, and one comrade from the police station. Everyone had a serious expression.
Seeing the police officer who entered the room last, Zhuang Ganmei stood up suddenly and took a standard standing posture.
"Leaders, please take a seat," said Zhuang's mother.
She hurried to make tea, and after everyone sat down, they began to take turns giving ideological education to Zhuang Ganmei.
First, they criticized the bad things he had done, then talked about the current legal situation. In short, the only thing he had to say was that if he made any mistakes again, he would be subject to severe crackdowns.
Director Zhou of the neighborhood committee said bluntly:
"I believe you've been completely transformed after eight years of reform! You're the only prisoner in our neighborhood committee. We haven't been able to compete for first place or receive awards for excellence for so many years because of you!
Now that you've been released, please remember your mistakes, be honest, and don't bring any more shame to the neighborhood committee! Have some sense of community!
I'll just leave this out here. You'll need our neighborhood committee's help with a lot of things in the future. I mean, you understand what I'm saying, right?"
Before Zhuang Ganmei could reply, a deputy director of the factory spoke up:
"Yeah! It's the same at the factory! The factory director still uses this incident as a typical example in meetings, big and small, because he's afraid it'll happen again. If it happens again, it'll make life difficult for everyone."
The two sides became more and more excited as they talked, and they talked for more than two hours.
Zhuang Ganmei was humiliated and her head lowered lower and lower.
Finally, the police station comrades came to the rescue:
"Okay, I think we're done for today. Xiaozhuang! Find something to do when you get back, and don't do those crooked things again. We'll come by from time to time to chat with you about how you're doing, is that okay?"
"Yes, leader!" Zhuang Ganmei immediately responded loudly.
His roar startled several leaders present.
The comrade at the police station was well-informed and knew that this was a common practice, so he hurriedly said:
"Xiao Zhuang, there's no need to be like this. Be more natural. You're facing a group of people now. Be more natural."
Zhuang Ganmei was about to respond, but then she backed off and nodded.
The two men escorted the group to the entrance of the alley.
This battle again attracted everyone's attention and pointing.
Someone greeted Director Zhou: "Director Zhou, what's going on at their house? Why are there so many people?"
Director Zhou answered loudly: "No, we just came to take a look. You are also our eyes and should help supervise us!"
Those people all looked contemptuous:
"We wouldn't dare. We just ask him not to cause trouble and get us into trouble!"
"That's right, it's better if I don't come back. After I come back, I'll be worried every day!"
"Mrs. Zhuang says every day that her son didn't commit murder or arson, but who knows if he's in the same cell as someone who did? What if they come to our alley?"
"Yeah! We're honest people with elderly parents and young children. We're scared!"
The Chinese New Year is almost here and some people have already had their holidays. Now it is time to get off work, so there are many people in and out of the alley.
After hearing this reminder and seeing that leaders from several parties were present, everyone gathered around, and the number of people gathered grew larger and larger, with the condemnation growing louder and louder.
"Deputy Factory Director, can you let them move somewhere else? We're really worried about them. They won't be able to have a good New Year!"
"That's right! We are all honest people! We are different from their family!"
"No, let's all go to the factory director's house to celebrate the New Year! That would be more appropriate!" someone began to tease.
Everyone's chatter drowned out the deputy director's objections.
"Everyone, please be quiet! We should give criminals a chance to reform! That's why we ask you to help supervise them! If they don't reform, we will never tolerate it!" The deputy director's shoes were about to be stepped on and fell off, and he explained loudly.
"Move away! Move away!"
"Get out! Get out!"
“…”
The anger that had been accumulating for two days finally erupted when the leader was present.
I don’t know who threw the first rotten leaf.
Then comes the second piece.
The third piece.
