Hou Yongping, the militia company commander, had heard about what his son Hou Baolin had said and rushed over after traveling for nearly half an hour through the night.
The militia camp was not close to Pingba Village, but since it involved educated youth, it didn't just disappear.
Especially since Pingba Village is still my home.
Hou Yongping led the militiamen into the office, and the office immediately became bright.
“Captain Ding, as the production team leader, how could you do such a thing? You have truly disgraced the people of Pingba Village.”
After cursing, Hou Yongping looked around at the people and waved to the militiamen behind him, saying, "Take the man away and go get the commune secretary and director, as well as the brigade secretary, Zhong. We need them to make the decision on this matter."
“The female educated youth were also taken away.”
"Yes." The militiamen responded loudly. Those who came with Hou Yongping were basically his own people, and they had long disliked Ding Quan.
Unfortunately, he was a man of Zhong Tian, the brigade secretary, and had the support of Xu Dabang, the commune director.
Today I finally got my chance.
When the militia took Ding Quan away, Ye Beiping realized who the female educated youth being taken away was: "He Nini?"
Hearing someone call her name, He Nini lowered her head in shame.
In this day and age, it's still very shameful to sell one's body for a bite to eat.
Even if it's not for a bite to eat, making a deal with an old man who's about the same age as your father would be enough to get you drowned in spittle.
After watching everyone being taken away, Wu Di frowned and asked, "Beiping, what do we do? Why isn't it Qiu Mingyue, but He Nini?"
Hou Baolin had just arrived and was also very puzzled when he saw that it wasn't Qiu Mingyue.
"What's going on? Why isn't it Qiu Mingyue?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, He Nini shielded Qiu Mingyue from disaster this time, but she might not be so lucky next time."
“Yes, that’s right.” Wu Di also gritted his teeth.
Thinking about Qiu Mingyue's sabotage behind his back, and the fact that he hadn't managed to get back at her today, his anger intensified.
Ye Beiping patted Hou Baolin and Wu Di on the shoulder and said, "He Nini took the blame for this today, which can be considered a warning to those people at the educated youth settlement. Go back early, you still have to go to the county town to pick up goods early tomorrow morning."
"Oh, right, use the money left over from buying milk and fruit to buy more tomorrow. I've also taught you how to make popsicles. Call me when you come back, and I'll take you to sell popsicles together."
"Okay."
Hou Baolin and Wu Di beamed with joy at the thought of making money.
Some people are destined to have trouble sleeping tonight.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Hou Yongping led the militia to the educated youth settlement in Pingba Village.
They woke up Luo Yonghao and Peng Tian.
"He Nini from your educated youth settlement has been arrested by us. We've come to you to find out some information."
"What?" Luo Yonghao was shocked. He looked at the female educated youth dormitory and frowned. "Company Commander Hou, what exactly is going on?"
"Yeah, how did He Nini get arrested?" Peng Tian was also very puzzled.
Hou Yongping recounted what had happened and then warned, "As the head of the educated youth settlement and the secretary of the Youth League branch, I hope you two can keep the educated youth in check. Don't let one wrong step lead to eternal regret. Otherwise, you'll not only lose your right to return to the city, but you'll also be taken away by the police."
"Alright, He Nini has now been handed over to the county police station. We came here to inform you so you can tell the other educated youths about it tomorrow and remind them."
"Yes, yes, yes, Company Commander Hou, I will definitely keep the students in line." Luo Yonghao nodded repeatedly.
The mere mention of the word "police" told Luo Yonghao and Peng Tian that this matter was far from simple.
It seems He Nini is not coming back.
The next day, very early in the morning.
Everyone in the female educated youth dormitory got up. Zhou Ying frowned when she didn't see He Nini and asked, "Where's He Nini?"
Seeing that the bed was still messy, Zhou Ying went over and touched it: "It's not warm at all. Did she go out last night?"
"I don't know," Deng Huiling said haughtily, then turned and left.
He Nini has always been at odds with her and Su Xinyi, but she is on good terms with Qiu Mingyue and Zhou Ying.
The fact that someone is missing has nothing to do with her.
When everyone gathered in the courtyard, Luo Yonghao said:
“He Nini was arrested last night. The militia company came over and told me to warn you all to pay attention to your lifestyle.”
Upon hearing that He Nini had been arrested, and especially with the emphasis on her lifestyle issues, Qiu Mingyue's eyes darkened.
However, she still tried to remain calm.
Luo Yonghao continued, "Although the living conditions in our educated youth settlement were tough, they were much better than in other places. Do you know how many people across the country are starving and have no food to eat? Do you know the lives of those educated youth in the Northwest and Northeast?"
“We’ve talked about this during our studies, and we’ve even shown it to you in the newspapers. Don’t make a big mistake over a meal, or you’ll lose the chance to go back to the city.”
These words were already quite harsh.
Ding Quan, the production team leader, had a wife and children, yet he still had an affair with a female educated youth; it was purely a matter of lifestyle.
Once discovered, Ding Quan will not only be sentenced to prison, but He Nini will also be in serious trouble.
"Alright, today I'll lead the team to do farm work. I hope all of you will grit your teeth. The time to get the annual quota for returning to the city is coming soon. It's not worth it to have any lifestyle issues at this time."
