Unfortunately, Xie Ming was prepared. He used all sorts of photos he had prepared over the past few days, and the police had no choice but to take the evidence seriously.
Then, one by one, the scourges of an entire village were exposed, and unsurprisingly, many of them were going to be shot.
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest; all those who felt they had been implicated by Qian Youdong went to the Qian family home to cause trouble.
They started fighting, yelling, smashing, and all sorts of physical altercations. A perfectly good tile-roofed house was destroyed in just two days, with even the roof gone.
The Qian clan members in the village hated that family to death, so why would they help them? The women in the family were left crying and wailing, living in constant fear.
Since the incident, Qian Fen has been hiding at home, afraid to come out. She is no longer the most favored daughter in the family. All the men in the family have been imprisoned because of her, and everyone is cursing her.
Just when she thought she wouldn't be implicated, the man she was having an affair with in the county was also fired from his job and taken away, and the police soon came looking for her.
The photos Xie Ming submitted included pictures of Qian Fen's secret rendezvous. If that matter isn't investigated, it's just a matter of private morality; if it is, the problem becomes much more serious. Promoting lewd thoughts and hooligan behavior is a serious offense. (Don't be surprised! Later, the "Fifth Sister Party" was also targeted.)
How could the man who was having an affair with her let Qian Fen go? Naturally, he tried every means to drag her down with him.
The Qian family was devastated when they learned that they were going to take Qian Fen away; they knew they could no longer live in Xiangyang Village.
The situation in Xiangyang Village was handled quite quickly. After learning about the situation, the higher authorities issued a strict order: "Feudalistic forces are absolutely not allowed to undermine the unity of the people at the grassroots level. We must resolutely crack down on all attempts to undermine the great achievements of the revolution and vow to defend the interests and safety of the masses to the death."
The authorities, fearing potential conflict between the local clans and militia, dispatched troops. Within two days, everyone who had committed acts of abusing women or abusing their power was taken away.
Several days have passed, and Qian Youdong, still in his cell, feels like he's dreaming.
At first, he still couldn't figure out what was happening. After sorting through his jumbled thoughts for many days, he realized that he had returned to decades ago.
Just like back then when they were preparing to make a move against Xie Ming, he preemptively outmaneuvered them.
He thought it was just a small matter and wouldn't affect his son and grandson. He thought that once they were arrested and reprimanded for a few days, the matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ming prepared such a large gift for him, even implicating his two sons in the hospital.
Thinking about how he had once held a high position and decided the fate of those people, Qian Youdong wished he could smash his head open.
Why did he come back so late? Why is Xie Ming so lucky? Why isn't he like he was in his previous life?
Anxiety, anger, breakdown... these emotions were constantly stimulating his heart.
What's even more terrifying is that he has to go through all kinds of interrogations, both current and past, and whatever the higher-ups want to know, he has to divulge.
Even the fact that he was afraid to go to the battlefield and tricked himself into being seriously injured and discharged from the army has been dug up.
His history of desertion made his treatment even worse. But was that all? No!
As he noticed the sky outside beginning to darken, Qian Youdong exuded an aura of death and despair.
Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the cell slowly turning into a desolate place, and the ropes binding his body tightly.
He didn't want to go forward, but two prison guards held him back tightly.
The executions have just begun tonight, and he will experience the same scene again and again before dawn.
He was very familiar with this scene; in his past life, he had watched another person being executed right here.
Is there anything else you don't understand?
The entire county was in a tense atmosphere before the autumn harvest.
The previous incident was so serious that almost the entire leadership team in the county was replaced. Now, there is another headache for the new leader to face.
The crops planted earlier have all grown, but what are those clumps of things in the field that look like weeds, neither big nor small? Could they still be the tens of thousands of kilograms of grain they were hoping for per acre?
Someone immediately realized that if this season was wasted, would they still have any food? The entire county was thrown into chaos.
Some villages began to take action, actively tidying up the messy fields and quickly planting potato and sweet potato seeds while there was still time. Other villages, however, persisted in their ambitious plans and refused to abandon their hopes.
But none of this mattered to Xie Ming anymore; he had already returned home.
The Xie family patriarch was on his last breath, hanging on in a half-dead state.
Xie Ming didn't bother him anymore. His good brother was about to leave, and it would be a pity not to lock up their deep bond.
So on the day Qian Youdong was shot, Xie Ming also put Master Xie into that body.
No matter how much the two weakened souls tore at and devoured each other, they both completely disappeared from this world after the "gunshot".
1959-1961
The drought and insect plague that were expected finally arrived. The land in Xiangyang Village yielded some harvest, and despite the intermittent hunger and lack of food, they managed to survive until the end of 1959.
In the 1960s, the Chen clan members did not dare to go to the granary to transport the goods back. Instead, they brought back the things that had been stored on the mountain by the surrounding villages in the early years and secretly helped the villagers and clansmen they trusted.
Some greedy people tried to attack them, but in the end, those people were suppressed by several powerful families from nearby villages. They were beaten and their houses were demolished. They were severely punished, and only then did the others calm down.
By 1961, the Chen clan had almost emptied their granaries. They were extremely worried, fearing that if the natural disasters didn't end, even more people in the village would die.
Having exhausted all other options, Chen Fu wrote to Xie Ming for advice, and Xie Ming replied.
