Ma Chunmei's eyes bulged out instantly, and a violent feeling of nausea made her gag wildly, trying to vomit up what was in her mouth.
"Pah! You all have such foul mouths!" Wang Tieniu spat, finally feeling a bit better.
"Tie Niu! Stop fighting!" Du Jianshan finally spoke up to stop them, but there was no trace of urgency in his voice.
"Hurry, go and get the company commander! It's the middle of the night, and they're stealing, vandalizing public property, and making a huge commotion, disturbing everyone's rest! The company commander has to handle this!"
"Alright! I'm off!" Wang Tieniu pulled up his pants and ran out as fast as he could.
Ma Chunmei managed to scoop some of the filth out of her mouth, vomiting so much that she almost vomited bile. When she heard that she was going to call the company commander, she was terrified.
"No...don't call me Company Commander! Du Jianshan! Wang Tieniu! You...you took money and then complained! You're not human!"
Du Jianshan crossed his arms and sneered, "Money? That's for you to compensate me for my losses. As for filing a complaint?"
He pointed to Wang Tieniu's retreating figure: "That was Tieniu threatening to accuse you of stealing his meat. I didn't call him."
"You...you...shameless!" Ma Chunmei trembled with rage and cried out in heart-wrenching sobs.
Not long after, Company Commander Chen Jianshan arrived, wearing a coat and accompanied by two militiamen.
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Jianshan's face turned as black as ink.
"Well, Ma Chunmei! Ma Jinbao! You two are truly incorrigible! You cause trouble all day and all night! And you even dare to steal!"
Chen Jianshan was so angry that he poked the two men on the forehead with his finger: "Destroying the property of the educated youth settlement, stealing collective... uh, personal property, the impact is extremely bad!"
He took a deep breath and delivered his verdict: "A major demerit! Write that clearly in my file!"
"Furthermore, if there is ever a policy opportunity to return to the city, Baiyangbao will absolutely not sign any documents to release you within three years! You will stay here and reform yourselves properly!"
"Huh?" Ma Chunmei and Ma Jinbao were struck dumb!
Why are they keeping people away from the city for three years even though they can return?
This is absolutely killing them!
For the educated youth sent to the countryside, this was an absolute insult!
It's not over yet!
Seeing their miserable state, Chen Jianshan felt no sympathy, but instead became even angrier: "Also! Add another eight hundred trees to the windbreak forest!"
"If you miss even one tree, you'll lose six months' worth of work points! Now! Right now! Get to the clinic! Clean it up and then plant trees first thing tomorrow morning! Get out!"
Eight hundred trees!
Ma Chunmei's vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.
Ma Jinbao was completely stunned, even forgetting the pain in his foot.
The militia dragged the crying and struggling siblings away like dead dogs, their shrill and desperate cries echoing far and wide in the cold night of the Gobi Desert.
The courtyard is finally quiet.
Wang Tieniu sidled up to Du Jianshan, his face full of admiration: "Brother Shanzi, that trip you pulled... was brilliant! It was so satisfying! Now let's see if those two toads dare to jump around again!"
Du Jianshan yawned and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, the show's over. Hurry up and pack up, go to sleep! We still have to work on the dugouts tomorrow."
"Okay!" Wang Tieniu replied happily, feeling completely relaxed.
The two turned and went back into the house, and the lights at the educated youth settlement were gradually turned off.
We finally caught the siblings.
