Chapter 23 A Village Girl in the 1970s
Just then, the Yao family returned home from work at noon and were both surprised and delighted to see Xie Jingyue.
Miao Cuilan quickly greeted, "Comrade Xie is here? Please come in, please come in."
"Auntie, you're too kind." Xie Jingyue smiled awkwardly, looking quite nervous.
He knew that this was Comrade Zhenzhen's mother.
Miao Cuilan was very enthusiastic: "Please sit down for a while, I'll get you some tea."
Yao Daqiang and Tan Guihua quickly stood up and greeted them, "Yes, please sit down, don't stand."
Hearing the commotion, Yao Yunzhen came out of her room. Seeing Xie Jingyue, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked:
"You're here? You took them away that day, what happened after that?"
The others were also concerned, and upon hearing this, they looked at Xie Jingyue with tension. Miao Cuilan immediately put down the teapot and asked anxiously, "What happened to the Lu family?"
They originally thought they would soon face retaliation from the Lu family, but several days have passed and there has been no movement at all.
Now that Xie Jingyue has appeared, they immediately realize that it was this soldier who did something.
Xie Jingyue was a little disappointed when he didn't see Yao Yunzhen when he entered the house, but he was delighted when Yao Yunzhen came out, and his smile became much more genuine.
He said gently, "I came here today to talk to you about the Lu family."
"You can rest assured, the Lu family can no longer cause any trouble. Lu Yongguo used his position to suppress dissidents, plunder the people's wealth, and even caused families to be broken up and people to die. After a thorough investigation, he has been formally detained. Zhang Li, as the deputy director of the Women's Federation, was a licentious official who colluded with Lu Yongguo. She has now been dismissed from her post. As for Lu Yikang, he not only engaged in speculation but also smuggling activities. He has also been arrested."
Xie Jingyue briefly recounted the fate of the Lu family, making no mention of the immense effort he had put into it.
The Yao family members were somewhat incredulous: "Really? Are you telling the truth?"
The Lu family, a behemoth, just collapsed like that?
"real."
Xie Jingyue nodded with a smile, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Yao Yunzhen's direction.
"You're lying! You're lying!"
Amidst the cheers, a piercing scream rang out.
Everyone turned to look.
Yao Meimei was staring intently at Xie Jingyue, her eyes bloodshot with rage.
Yao Daqiang: "Meimei, what are you talking about? Comrade Xie is a soldier, how could he lie?"
Miao Cuilan glared at her: "You can find out about this by asking around; it's definitely true."
"What are you doing now, you brat? Get out of here right now!"
Yang Erni's face darkened. If Xie Jingyue hadn't been there, she would have slapped him long ago.
"No, this is not right, it shouldn't be like this."
Yao Meimei was pulling at her hair, looking dazed.
The Lu family clearly fell from power in the 1980s, so how could it have happened a full ten years earlier?
Why? Why?
Did she remember wrong? Or is her memory false?
No, that's not right, this life is different.
In his previous life, Lu Yikang met Yao Yunzhen three years later and began to entangle with her, a full three years earlier than in this life.
Could this incident have created a butterfly effect?
So, it was because of her?
Yao Meimei was lost in her own thoughts and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
What's wrong with that brat?
The Lu family has done so many heinous things, everyone is happy that they've fallen from power, but she's acting like this.
Yang Erni felt that this debt collector had completely disgraced her, and fearing that her parents would take their anger out on her, she got up and pushed him out.
After Yao Meimei was pushed out, she immediately woke up and ran outside.
She was going into town to verify for herself whether what the man said was true.
Did she really change the course of events?
Yang Erni smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Comrade Xie."
Xie Jingyue's smile faded slightly. "Actually, there's another matter I've come here for."
Yao Yunzhen asked curiously, "What is it?"
Looking at Yao Yunzhen, Xie Jingyue's eyes flashed with pity. He hesitated for a moment before saying:
"The police investigation revealed that it was Yao Meimei who instigated Lu Yikang to harass Comrade Zhenzhen. She deliberately exposed Comrade Zhenzhen to Lu Yikang, and she also participated in speculation and profiteering."
Since it concerned Yao Yunzhen, Xie Jingyue investigated with extra effort, and Lu Yikang would not keep Yao Meimei's secrets. Naturally, he quickly uncovered the truth about her, including the batch of things Yao Meimei sold.
These items are very expensive; who would believe that Lu Yikang gave them away for free?
Yao Meimei was naturally also labeled as Lu Yikang's accomplice.
Xie Jingyue paused for a moment, then said, "I've temporarily suppressed the situation with the police. If you want to protect her, I can try to pull some strings."
No, he just wanted to see how many of these people were truly sincere towards Comrade Zhenzhen.
Xie Jingyue simply couldn't believe that even the sisters living under the same roof could harbor such malicious thoughts towards Comrade Zhenzhen.
Miao Cuilan was furious upon hearing this.
I thought she was just holding a grudge and hadn't had a chance to do anything wrong, but who knew she had already done it.
She's the one who brought the Lu family here!
How could Miao Cuilan tolerate this?
"No, we won't protect her! Let the police arrest her, they must arrest her!"
“My poor Zhenzhen, what did she do to deserve this? Comrade Xie, you must not pull any strings for her. She must be arrested.”
Xie Jingyue didn't respond. He looked at Yao Daqiang and the others, pretending to be embarrassed.
Miao Cuilan also looked over: "Dad, Mom, she can even harm her own childhood friends, how could she possibly have any feelings for anyone else? No one can speak up for her today!"
A mother's love makes her strong; even if her in-laws had a problem with her afterward, she accepted it.
That little bitch must not be let off!
The elderly couple were immediately stunned. Tan Guihua stammered, "Has this...already been investigated and clarified?"
Xie Jingyue nodded, his tone certain: "It's been investigated thoroughly, and the evidence is conclusive."
"Then...then..."
The elderly couple hesitated to make a decision.
Although this child has a bad temper, she is still my granddaughter. How can I just abandon her?
Yao Yunzhen looked at them, waiting for them to make a decision.
She's not a very easy-going person. If her grandparents choose Yao Meimei this time, then their relationship as grandfather and granddaughter will just be like that.
Furthermore, she would not allow Xie Jingyue to plead on her behalf.
She will stop him!
Yang Erni's face darkened, and she couldn't help but curse, "What? This brat got into trouble? What about her marriage?"
Her words briefly diverted everyone's attention. Tan Guihua breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject, asking:
"What marriage?"
