Aunt Zhou's expression changed instantly. Was he joking? Asking her to lend him money?
She slapped the hand she had been holding so tightly just moments before...
Fan Xiaofan's face instantly turned pitiful: "Aunt, it's one thing if you won't lend me money, but why did you hit me?"
The person who was originally following behind Fan Xiaofan and was specifically responsible for her safety noticed that Xiaofan's hands were all red. Could Xiaofan's hands be compared to those of an ordinary person?
They wanted to cherish her like a precious gem.
The man and woman exchanged a cold glance. The woman with short, ear-length hair grabbed Aunt Zhou's wrist and said, "Comrade, I have sufficient reason to suspect that you are obstructing official business. Please cooperate with the investigation."
Aunt Zhou was startled. When she saw Fan Xiaofan get out of the car, she could only see the good things and had no idea that she was interfering with official business.
She looked to Fan Xiaofan for help, but Fan Xiaofan was looking down at her numb hand and didn't notice at all.
The man standing a step behind Fan Xiaofan had a cold and stern expression.
She instantly went limp. The thing that ordinary people fear most in their lives is having to speak to officials, and now she's been accused of obstructing official business.
The car was already parked in front of the commune gate. When people saw the commotion, they immediately came over cautiously to inquire. Aunt Zhou didn't know what kind of documents the man showed to the commune people, but they saw that the commune people's expressions immediately became serious.
The woman was already heartbroken for Xiao Fan's injured hand, but she couldn't reveal her feelings after hearing what Xiao Fan was saying. She was extremely worried, because if anything happened to Xiao Fan's hand, she would be held responsible and could not escape the blame.
The man, unwilling to waste any more time, had his aunt taken away on charges of obstructing official business.
Aunt Zhou was so frightened that her legs went weak, but the people from the commune had stern faces, which was quite intimidating.
Nowadays, even minor offenses are severely punished; a charge of obstructing official business can be extremely damaging.
As Fan Xiaofan entered the commune, a man and a woman flanked him, forming a protective stance. The short-haired woman asked with concern, "Is your hand alright?"
"She's really strong, my hands are numb."
Upon hearing this, the woman exclaimed in surprise. Without thinking twice, she grabbed the woman's hand and examined it carefully. After looking at it, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, no bones were broken."
The Zhou family was waiting for Aunt Zhou to return from the supply and marketing cooperative, but she still hadn't come back by evening.
Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou had been husband and wife for many years, and their youngest son was crying and calling for his mother, so Uncle Zhou hurriedly went to inquire...
Just as he stepped out, the village chief of Zhoujia Village came over with a pipe in his mouth. When Uncle Zhou saw the village chief, he immediately put on a flattering expression: "Village chief, what brings you here so late at night?"
The village chief struck Uncle Zhou hard on the back with his pipe: "Do you think I wanted to make this trip? Why can't your family just behave yourselves and instead cause trouble!"
Uncle Zhou, though beaten, didn't dare to dodge. He asked pitifully, "What have we done now? We've been staying at home the whole time..."
The village chief was furious: "You still say you didn't cause any trouble? You came out looking for your wife, didn't you? Do you know why your wife hasn't come back? She's been arrested! And what kind of people get arrested? Bad elements..."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhou immediately said, "No way! We're all law-abiding citizens, from eight generations of poor peasant families..."
"Hehe, who knew your wife would be so bold as to obstruct official business?"
The village chief gritted his teeth.
