Chapter 15 The Laziest Man in the Countryside 70 (15)
He Yingying looked at her resentful gaze. If she hadn't misheard, she seemed to have heard Li Zhenzhu call out "Mom".
Li Zhenzhu, Li Decheng?
And with her current strong reaction, it seems He Yingying has discovered something extraordinary.
I couldn't help but loosen my grip on her hand a little.
"Pearl, I know you can't bear to see this. Let's go." Zhang Miao knew this was cruel.
It looks like there's no way to go up the mountain now.
It's better to stay away from these troubles.
Li Zhenzhu tried her best to control her emotions, but she couldn't control herself when she saw her parents being humiliated like this.
She calmed herself down and tried to think of a solution.
Suddenly, Ji Huaizhi's face came to mind, and I went to find him.
This was the answer in her heart.
Without a second thought, Li Zhenzhu ran to the village secretary's house.
"Hey?" Zhang Miao wanted to call her back, but unexpectedly, the Red Guards behind them also saw them, the educated youth, and asked the people at the educated youth settlement to call the villagers to the dam.
Zhang Miao was also annoyed. Not to mention pearls, she couldn't bear to see the people she worked with every day being criticized and denounced.
"What?" He Yingying was still thinking about Li Zhenzhu's matter and did not hear what Sister Miao said.
"They told us to go and get some people, to get them to the dam, let's go."
He Yingying nodded.
Li Zhenzhu ran to Ji Huaizhi's house. Her second sister-in-law opened the door. Ji's eldest sister-in-law and the others had already gone into the mountains to hunt. She was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to stay at home and look after the house.
"Are you Li Zhiqing? Are you looking for my mother? She's working in the back, come in."
Ji Ersao had barely finished speaking when she noticed Li Zhenzhu's unusual mood: "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Huaizhi came out at this moment: "What's wrong?"
“Those militiamen came and beat people up…” Li Zhenzhu said, trembling.
Ji Huaizhi immediately understood.
He turned around, called a few of his brothers, and they went out together.
Ji Hong was weaving bamboo products when his son suddenly pulled him away. Wang Xiuju was still a little confused when she came out. When she heard her second daughter-in-law say that the militiamen had arrived, she frowned and followed them.
Li Zhenzhu jogged after them, and became anxious when she saw that they weren't heading in the direction of the cowshed.
"You've gone to the wrong place, this is Uncle Ji's way."
Ji Hong still had a pipe in his mouth, and his faded blue short-sleeved shirt fluttered as he walked too fast.
"They should be at the dam by now."
“They would hold denunciation meetings there every time.” They would force them to go.
Every time Li Zhenzhu heard those two words, it felt like needles were pricking her heart. This wasn't the first time; it had happened many times before.
When they went to the dam, many people also walked in that direction, and some saw the village secretary come over to ask about the situation.
"Uncle Ji, these people are really out of their minds. It hasn't been long, and they're already starting to cause trouble again."
"Yes, I heard Dr. Li say yesterday that his leg hurts whenever it rains. What if it gets worse? We finally have a doctor in our village. If he doesn't take care of us, what will happen if he refuses to treat us in the future?"
Hearing this, Li Zhenzhu couldn't hold back her tears, and Wang Xiuju patted her on the shoulder.
I thought she was frightened and had never seen such a scene before.
“Uncle, we all have children and elderly people at home. There will be many situations in the future where we need Uncle Li’s help. We can’t let them treat us like this.” Ji Huaizhi’s words made them nod in agreement.
But some people were timid: "Those are the Red Guards! What if they come to our village and cause trouble?"
"Also, if we go up against them, will our advanced brigade still be able to get that spot?"
Ji Huaizhi looked over and said seriously, "Uncle, listen to me, the Advanced Brigade is just a name, it sounds good, but if it really does something good for the village, it can actually do something. Everyone is afraid of the Red Guards."
“But there are so many people in our village, they won’t arrest us all. The most important thing is that the law does not punish the masses. As long as we are united, they will not dare to cause trouble in our village.”
"The key is unity; they understand that our village is a tough nut to crack."
“I think Ji Laoyao is right,” someone nodded.
"I also think, with so many of us, what can they do to us? Are they going to arrest us all and lock us up? Could they even manage that?"
Li Zhenzhu remained silent, thankfully.
She was really scared that no one would take care of her parents.
"Hey? Ji Huaizhi, why are you helping Li the Cripple so much?" someone asked.
Ji Hong continued, "Li the Cripple saved him back then, and he was also the first to discover that our youngest brother was sick. Huai Zhi remembers their kindness."
Ji Huaizhi did not deny it.
Li Zhenzhu was deeply moved as she walked beside Wang Xiuju.
Others said that Ji Huaizhi was loyal and righteous, and remembered Li Decai's kindness.
The denunciation meeting has already begun on the other side of the dam.
Those in the cowshed wore signs around their necks, and were subjected to humiliation without any dignity. Someone was cutting He Xianglan's hair with scissors.
She was protecting her hair with both hands, which were stained with blood, indicating that she had cut her hand while protecting her hair.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhenzhu rushed forward, ready to fight them to the death.
Unexpectedly, Ji Huaizhi grabbed her and shouted, "These people are causing trouble in our village, drive them out!"
The four Ji brothers were the first to act, kicking and shouting, "Beat them!"
"These people are all bad! Li the Cripple is the only doctor in our village!"
"ah!"
The man in the red armband who had been kicked down was in excruciating pain. He got up, adjusted his hat, and shouted, "Are you all crazy?"
"These are all rightists! Your village is really..."
Someone threw a rotten egg at his face. These were the eggs they had just given to the villagers, intending for them to throw them at the people in the cowshed. Unexpectedly, the villagers picked them up and threw them at themselves.
Few of the Red Guards are good people; they shout slogans but their favorite thing to do is to label people.
He claimed to be eliminating evil, but he did a lot of bad things by taking advantage of his position.
They vandalize other people's homes to steal and take advantage of others, using blatant malice to harm them.
So everyone is annoyed with them.
