"Okay." Xiao Li didn't say much. In the past, he would definitely have made a trip to the old military compound.
He said he was going back to tell his family not to cook, but actually he was subtly trying to tell the old marshal's grandson about his situation.
The old marshal didn't mention it this time, probably because the matter was quite complicated and he was afraid his family would worry.
The old marshal's son-in-law was in the military; he was a tough guy and had influence in Beijing.
With him there to oversee things, they can feel a little more at ease.
Xiao Liu and Xiao Li overthought the situation and drove very carefully the whole way.
Suti was unaware that the people from the other side had already come looking for her. She couldn't sleep well all night and woke up early.
Too many things have happened lately, and she feels inexplicably uneasy.
"Wife, are you awake? Which brigade are we going to today?" Wei Baichuan got up and made breakfast. Seeing that she was awake, he came over and pinched her cheek.
"Let's go somewhere closer. Once I'm done with this, I'll go to the commune early to call Grandpa. The photos should be arriving soon, so I can send them to him and the others."
Suti was preoccupied with something and couldn't muster any interest in work.
Wei Baichuan nodded without saying anything. During the autumn harvest a while ago, they went to relatively far places.
"Then I'll go to the brigade headquarters to borrow a bicycle first." Wei Baichuan put the food on the table.
“I’ll go with you in a bit. The team members must have heard the news. I wonder if those people have implicated Wei Changgen yet.”
Suti picked up his bowl and ate breakfast. The family had been using up meat quickly lately, and Baichuan had gone to the air-raid shelter once in between.
Everything there had changed long ago. Thinking about what had happened behind their backs, Su Ti didn't want Wei Baichuan to have any stain on his reputation.
Those with some skills can easily discover that the people in Beijing might also be observing them, so they need to be even more careful.
After they finished eating, the two locked the door and went to the brigade headquarters, where a large crowd had already gathered.
"Captain, these people should also be taken away by the police. Wei Changgen is a bastard. How dare he scheme against our entire brigade?"
"What's even more infuriating is that we let such a person manage our brigade. When Wei Changgen was in charge, he kept causing trouble for the Leishan brigade."
"Now it seems that it was intentional. With such a shameless mother, he was rotten to the core. He also used his position to keep those people in the mountains."
"The uneaten grain and the poultry are all parasites sucking the blood of our brigade."
The team members spat a mouthful of phlegm at the Wei family members.
They were all seething with hatred. Over the years, who knew how many shameful things Wei Changgen had done?
"Alright, I know everyone is upset, but the organization will give us an explanation."
The captain, seeing everyone surrounding the Wei family and itching to hit them, quickly stopped them.
He asked the police about this yesterday, and they said that Wei Hongya and Qi Zhenxing would definitely be charged with hooliganism.
However, at most, the children born to the two will have a bad reputation, and they cannot be executed without any reason.
They did not commit any crime of hooliganism. Wei Hongya also said that she couldn't support several children at that time, so she abandoned Wei Changgen at random to another family.
In name only, Wei Changgen and Wei Hongya are unrelated, let alone Wei Changgen's family members.
It was simply unrealistic for the team members to expect the police to arrest them all.
Su Ti knew that there was no crime of hooliganism that would result in joint liability, and that Wei Changgen was nominally the child of another family.
The things the team members thought about were impossible, and in the end, they only had a bad reputation and were disliked in the brigade, but it did not constitute the crime of hooliganism.
"Captain, our battalion's reputation has been ruined by them. We can't just let this go."
Seeing their captain's demeanor, the team members knew that the higher-ups would definitely not take action against the Wei family.
"The Leishan Brigade isn't much better off. Wei Changgen is in jail now, and those who should be dealt with have been dealt with by higher authorities. I believe the others will also get their comeuppance."
The captain could only comfort his team members, telling them not to act impulsively, adding that the Leishan Brigade was just as humiliated, and at least they had company.
The team members glared angrily at the Wei family members, each secretly plotting how to get revenge on them.
Wei Baidao was pushed and shoved by everyone to hide behind Su Nianyou. He didn't know what to do.
Su Nianyou was held back by Wei Baidao and couldn't move, and a lot of phlegm was spat on her.
She stared blankly at these people. How could things have turned out like this?
Every time she was given hope, something even more outrageous was waiting for her.
With Wei Changgen imprisoned, Wei Baidao missed out on all the opportunities he was supposed to have, and his family's fortunes plummeted.
She knew the timing was wrong. And now? Everyone was saying Wei Changgen was a bastard. Then what was Wei Baidao?
Will they really be able to make a name for themselves with such a background? The books she was reading didn't mention any of that.
Looking into their eyes, she knew they were telling the truth. What should she do? Was she on the right path?
Su Nianyou was momentarily dazed. She was convinced that she hadn't misread the plot of the book, and that the male lead definitely had some kind of opportunity.
Is the intention to highlight the difficulties in the early stages, followed by a glamorous transformation later on?
A hero's origins are irrelevant; regardless of his current situation, everything here is definitely prepared for the male protagonist.
Even if we take many detours along the way, it will eventually return to the way it was before, Su Nianyou firmly believes.
"Su Zhiqing, what brings you here?" The brigade leader was just about to assign tasks to the team members when he saw Su Ti and his wife standing behind him.
The captain glanced at Wei Baichuan, unsure of what to say.
On one hand, he was glad that he had severed ties with the Wei family, but on the other hand, he felt that no matter what, the Wei family had become like this, and they had lost face.
"We've come to borrow bicycles." Sutid didn't see the complicated look in the captain's eyes.
Wei Baichuan didn't care at all. He had thought about the future after these things were exposed, not to mention that he wasn't Wei's biological son.
Even if he were his biological son, he wouldn't care. The Wei family was already less than strangers to him, and now they were his enemies.
The others in the brigade also saw Su Zhiqing and his group, and for a moment they didn't know whether to smile at them or say something sarcastic.
After all, Wei Lao Er was also a descendant of those two shameless people.
"Oh, you want to borrow a bike? It's right in the brigade headquarters, you can just go and ride it." The brigade leader came around first.
Even if Wei Lao Er hadn't severed ties with the Wei family, given Su Zhiqing's current abilities, he wouldn't tolerate being beaten or scolded.
The atmosphere became very silent, and no one made a move except for Su Nianyou, who was glaring fiercely at Su Ti.
She thought Suti was really terrifying; it seemed like she knew everything, and every step she took seemed to be calculated.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that everything changed from the moment they married into the Wei family.
Su Nianyou was terrified. She even felt that with Su Ti around, everything she wanted would fall through.
