Chapter 319
After the two of them sat down, the Youth League Committee secretary spoke, "Student Su Miao, the Youth League Committee received your application to join the League and selected you as an active member. However, during the public announcement period, we received feedback from classmates saying that there are problems with your social relationships. Your uncle was sentenced to prison for economic crimes.
So today I want to talk to you about the situation and discuss whether you can still continue with your joining process."
Su Miao took a deep breath and tried to answer in a calm voice, "I only recently heard about my uncle's crimes. My parents separated a few years ago due to differences in their ideologies, and I don't have much contact with my mother or my uncle's family, so I don't know much about his specific circumstances."
"I see. But he is your uncle after all. Don't you visit him during festivals?"
"No, he's in Ning County. We rarely go back now. When my parents divorced, he bought my father's job offer. The situation wasn't very peaceful at the time, so..."
When the leaders went to investigate, they only had a general understanding of the situation. They had no idea there was such a tangle. The vice-president asked curiously, "Why did your father sell him the permanent employment position? Now he's a self-employed person instead."
"Because my dad was still working at his old workplace and hadn't reported to the new one, after he and my mom completed the divorce procedures, my uncle and aunt came to our house and made a scene, demanding that my dad give him the permanent job offer. They said a lot of nasty things, and the neighbors in the entire alley could testify to that. I was in sixth grade at the time, about to go to college. My dad was afraid that their constant disturbances would affect my studies, so he had no choice but to sell the offer to him.
At the time, he wanted to buy on credit, but a well-known local grandfather helped us get the money. Later, I was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, and my father lost his job, so he came to Nancheng to find a job, and we completely lost contact with my uncle's family.
Su Miao changed the adjectives to describe the matter, and portrayed the Liu Ming family as thugs who bullied the city, and Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng were the ones who were persecuted by the thugs. In order to avoid harassment, they not only gave up their positions as formal workers, but also had to leave their hometown to make a living.
Seeing that everyone began to sympathize with Su Miao's situation and gradually separated her from the affairs of her uncle's family, Zhang Yan, who had been hiding in the crowd and watching coldly, finally couldn't help but take action again.
She spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear, "But I heard Su Miao has a cousin who also attends No. 1 Middle School. She used to be in the same grade as you. They're so close, so they couldn't have no contact, right? Also, I heard your cousin isn't a decent person. She often uses her influence to wantonly bully her classmates and even hangs out with those shady people outside of school. She's now in a juvenile detention center."
After saying all this in one breath, she pretended to be deeply distressed towards Su Miao, shaking her head and sighing, "Alas, classmate Su Miao, why are your social relationships so complicated? You have two criminals among your blood relatives alone: one is an economic offender, and the other is a juvenile delinquent."
Hey! Okay, okay, you're the one who talks too much, right? She was still thinking about how to finish the following paragraph, so you pass me the microphone.
"It seems that Zhang Yan cares about me quite a bit. She actually knows so much. Do you know what my cousin Liu Zhaodi did to end up in the juvenile detention center?"
Seeing Su Miao's implicit claim that she knew a lot, as if to accuse everyone that she was deliberately snooping, Zhang Yan remained calm and said with a smile, "How could I know that? I don't even know your cousin's name, how could I possibly know what she did wrong?"
Su Miao seemed to believe her story. He nodded in understanding and said, "That's right. After all, this happened outside of school, and many people don't know about it. She was sentenced to juvenile detention because she and other young people outside the school committed armed robbery, and the amount of the robbery was large. And the victim in this case is me."
There was a sound of people gasping in the office. Now they felt even more sympathetic towards Su Miao. They had already come to Yongcheng with their father, but they didn't expect that they still couldn't escape the persecution from their uncle's family!
The head teacher asked Su Miao with concern: "How could such a thing actually happen? I haven't even heard Teacher Wu mention it."
"Because it happened outside of school during the holidays, the police immediately arrested them after we called the police and dealt with the matter quickly, so I didn't tell the teacher."
"If anything happens in the future, you can tell the teacher. After all, you are still a student. The teacher and the school will help you."
"Yeah, I understand. Thank you, teacher."
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded, and Chen Guangyao asked with a hint of doubt: "Student Zhang Yan, don't you know Su Miao's cousin? Why did I hear that your sister used to be in the same class as Liu Zhaodi, and was bullied by Liu Zhaodi in class?"
Zhang Yan hadn't expected that Liu Zhaodi was in the juvenile detention center because she robbed Su Miao. Her expression changed again and again, and she could only say, "I really didn't expect it was the same person. It seems like he's really bad."
The Ideological and Political Teacher nodded and said, "Yes, now the matter is clear. Su Miao and her father are both victims of her uncle's family's crimes. We can't let Su Miao be negatively affected again simply because they are relatives."
The leaders exchanged a few words in low voices, and the Youth League Committee Secretary said to Su Miao, "Student Su Miao, it's true that you've been persecuted, but it's also true that there are criminals among your relatives. Do you have anything else to say about this?"
Su Miao thought for a moment and said, "I understand that the organization has concerns about this matter. What I want to make clear is that everyone is an independent individual. My uncle's criminal behavior is his personal fault and does not mean that I have committed any illegal or criminal acts or have bad political tendencies.
I cannot choose my relatives, but I can decide my own ideological path. I am extremely enthusiastic about joining the League, and I have been practicing the moral qualities and code of conduct that a Communist Youth League member should have. I believe that the League organization will comprehensively consider my performance, rather than looking at the issue of relatives one-sidedly.
Of course, if the organization believes that I haven't met the requirements for joining the League yet, I have no objection. From now on, I will always adhere to the League's call, learn advanced ideas, and actively align myself with the organization in practice. I believe that one day, the organization will recognize my personal efforts and qualities."
Su Miao's words were powerful, his rhetoric was brilliant and concise, and could almost be used as a model for taking the civil service exam.
