Chapter 28 Remove the firewood from under the cauldron!



Soon, the busy and lively summer harvest ended.

At this time, every household had to pull a cart to the county town to pay the first grain tax of the year.

A long queue often forms on the winding dirt road. Even if you finally get to the grain station, you still have to wait in line under the scorching sun.

In these days, the people have a very strong sense of collective honor. Even if they are just barely making ends meet, they are often very active in contributing to the collective by handing in grain.

People standing in the long queue just feel that time is unbearable.

And the people who are undergoing acceptance inspection in front may not have an easy time either.

Even if they brought their best wheat grains and exposed them to the sun for a long time, they might not be accepted smoothly when the time came.

As long as the inspector says it’s not acceptable, it has to be taken back and dried again.

Of course, many of these staff members are from rural areas, and generally they won't deliberately make trouble, unless...

“Not qualified.”

The cold sound was no less than a thunder strike to human ears.

Many people around cast sympathetic glances towards the Ye brothers.

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Comrade, the wheat in our family is definitely the best. Feel the grains, there is absolutely no moisture in them."

The staff member looked impatient.

"Go, go, go! If you say no, it's no. Next one!"

Ye Yuan!!

Ye Xiaojiao had been enjoying the cool under the eaves not far away. When she saw that it was her family's turn, she hurried over.

As expected, I was made difficult again.

No wonder the Lu family has been able to bully people in the village for so many years. Even Ye Kuotian has to give them some space. It is indeed easy to get stuck when Lu Feng gets the job at the agricultural institute.

"Wait!"

Ye Xiaojiao put her hand directly on her car with an extremely cold expression.

"Are you telling the truth when you say you are unqualified? I want to see Director Fang."

Before coming, Ye Kuotian had anticipated this situation, so he asked Ye Yuan to carry a pack of good cigarettes in his arms and greeted the acquaintances here in advance.

As a result, the man just glanced at the smoke and ignored the name, still looking as if he would not tolerate any argument!

When Ye Xiaojiao saw this, she knew that the other party was obviously determined, so she was no longer polite.

"Director Fang has recently gone on a long trip to the provincial capital with Director Liu and his team. If there is anything, I have the final say now."

At this point, the Ye family felt completely devastated, knowing that they had run into a tough opponent.

Ye Xiaojiao replied directly:

"Okay, since you say it's not possible, then we'll go ask the person who thinks it's possible. The director and the chief are not here, so I'll go find the county magistrate to see if I can get justice today."

Their wheat has been dried out to the point where it cannot be dried any dryer. Even if anyone were to go and see, they would see the same result.

The other party was stunned.

Even though he had received vaccinations long ago and knew that this little girl was not easy to mess with, he didn't expect her to be so tough!

When it comes to momentum, it's often the case that you are strong and he is weak.

No, the staff member was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he said angrily: "Okay, go ahead!"

Although he said this, he didn't have much confidence.

Ye Xiaojiao naturally saw what he was thinking. Her attitude became more determined. She waved to her brother and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

The man was inexplicably a little panicked and shouted quickly.

But Ye Xiaojiao just ignored him.

You say let us go and we go, you say let us stay and we stay, so what do you think we are?

The man was so angry when he saw this that he simply didn't care. After all, it was Lu Fengqi who asked him to do it. At worst, he could just give him up when the time comes.

Here, Ye Yuan asked his sister anxiously, "Where are we going?"

Ye Xiaojiao smiled and said, "Of course I want to kill Lu Fengqi."

She's been acting weird once or twice, do you really think she's a sick cat?

I have been patient for so long just waiting for this opportunity.

Ye Yuan, however, was totally confused and had no idea what his sister was saying.

His brain isn't as good as his second brother's, but he knows it's right to listen to his sister!

Ye Xiaojiao came directly to the gate of the county government, took out a stack of documents from her pocket, and said that she wanted to report Lu Fengqi from the Agricultural Institute under her real name.

Ye Yuan???

Is it such an exciting game?

He originally thought that the two would be kicked out, but he didn't expect that it would actually happen!

Lu Fengqi is a really dirty and bold person.

The public grain collected by various public institutions every year is definitely the best harvest of the farmers in that year, but after it is stored in the grain depot, that may not be the case.

The surveillance back then was not as good as it is in later times, and there were no cameras or anything like that.

Lu Fengqi teamed up with Lu Defu and another director, and the three of them set their sights on stealing the grain stored in the granary.

The new grain was secretly replaced with old grain, and then Lu Defu resold the new grain, making money from the resale.

Some of the grain was only slightly damaged, or not spoiled at all, but they still reported it as a loss and then sold it secretly themselves.

In short, they are a group of rats who are eating away at the people's hard-earned money bit by bit in this dark corner.

In his previous life, after the Ye family was gone, Lu Defu became the village party secretary.

Lu Fengqi also became more successful, rising rapidly all the way and finally becoming a director and chief.

It was not until he was about to retire that he was caught up in a massive corruption case and was thoroughly investigated and placed under double supervision.

At the same time, the evil things he did when he worked at the Agricultural Institute more than 20 years ago were also dug up.

Unfortunately, it has been so long that it is almost like nothing.

What Ye Xiaojiao is doing now is a very good thing. By digging out the termites in advance, I wonder how much loss the country can save!

Ye Xiaojiao even wanted to give herself a bright red banner.

The actions here are absolutely swift and resolute.

Lu Fengqi was arrested on the same day, and the police went directly to the village to arrest Lu Defu, which caused another "excitement".

Ye Kuotian was stunned!

He originally thought it was a coincidence, but when his eldest son came back and told him everything, he was stunned.

"Jiao, Jiao, how did you get those evidences?"

Ye Xiaojiao shrugged: "Last time I heard from Lu Tiegang, the evidence of his father and brother's bad deeds is hidden under the mattress at home."

The Ye family: "..."

Of course, what Ye Xiaojiao said was not entirely true. She had been running around the county town recently and found a staff member inside the grain bureau.

That person had an argument with Lu Fengqi and was suppressed afterwards.

In his previous life, Lu Feng was on a rapid rise, but that person's life became increasingly difficult, and he later suffered from depression and committed suicide.

In this life, Ye Xiaojiao found the right person and the other party agreed without even spending any money.

Of course, people outside didn't know about this at all, so Ye Xiaojiao naturally didn't need to say too much, so as not to expose her identity.

With the arrest of the Lu father and son, the entire Lu family was completely finished.

On the other hand, Lu Yun's good days are over...
