The Wei family is like flies that you can't shake off. No matter what he does, they can always find him by using his parents' name.
He can't stay passive like this forever. And if those things are exposed, how will he and his wife face each other in the brigade?
He can keep it a secret, but others won't. Sooner or later, something will happen, and he needs to think carefully about how to clear his name.
Sure enough, two kinds of people can't sleep in the same bed. The two didn't talk, but they always seemed to think the same way.
Wei Changgen's incident made the two men realize that no matter how much they threatened them, it was useless; they would still jump out if something happened.
Not only were the Wei family members nervous, but the team members were also anxious, as they hadn't expected to be greeted by a captain with a fiery temper.
“Wei Changgen sells grain, and the police say he’s been under surveillance for a long time.” The captain’s face turned red with anger as he said this.
"Captain, what do you mean by that?" The team members were taken aback. Selling grain? They'd been targeted all along?
"He used to be the brigade leader, and all the grain in the brigade passed through his hands. Did he secretly sell the brigade's grain?"
The team members were in an uproar. Who had any spare grain to sell? Once they thought about this, they probably wouldn't care about reporting it anymore.
“I didn’t see him. Wei Changgen was taken to the county’s disciplinary office. They sent people there to inquire, and they directly asked Wei Changgen from Yangliu Brigade.”
"The address the commune gave us, no one reported it at all. He's been under surveillance for a long time. Plus, with all that grain he took today, he can't deny it even if he wants to."
The battalion commander also had the same suspicions. Food was the lifeblood of the team members, and he never expected Wei Changgen to be so daring.
"Damn it, people like that deserve to be arrested and shot."
"Let's go to the Wei family and get back the grain they embezzled." The team members were all furious and went to the Wei family together.
Suti heard the commotion outside from inside his house, as well as the indignant remarks of the team members who passed by.
She didn't want to get involved; they were thinking in the wrong direction.
"Honey, who did he offend?" Wei Baichuan had also heard what the team members were saying. Why would the county's police station be targeting Wei Changgen?
To put it bluntly, he was just the captain of a brigade. Even if his secret sale of grain was a big deal, he still felt something was off. The disciplinary office was so powerful now.
Did they really discover what was going on in the mountains? Shouldn't they have all been arrested?
They clearly still know nothing, yet they're only arresting Wei Changgen; something's definitely not right.
The brigade leader and the others thought that Wei Changgen was stealing and selling the brigade's grain, but that wasn't the case at all. They just didn't know if the people in the disciplinary office knew about it.
"Never mind them, they won't dare come looking for us." Su Ti was secretly hoping that the Wei family would come.
If they come again, she'll find a way to leak some information so that the people in the brigade can investigate on their own.
She wouldn't let Wei Baichuan be labeled as untrustworthy, and the exposure of those people's identities would also be a blow to them.
She didn't say it directly because she wanted to slow things down. Su Ti didn't care about these things; she just wanted the Wei family to suffer a terrible death.
She wouldn't let any opportunity slip by; she planned to expose those things only after completely severing ties, minimizing the damage to Wei Baichuan.
“They’re all too busy to take care of themselves. I think this is too strange. Why would the disciplinary committee be targeting him?”
Wei Baichuan wasn't worried about the Wei family members; he was worried that this was a feint and that there was something else they hadn't done yet.
"Perhaps it was my father who made the move." Suti thought of the words his father had said before he left; perhaps this was his backup plan.
However, the disciplinary office still surprised her. How could her father, such a shrewd person, know people in the disciplinary office?
Wei Baichuan paused, recalling his father-in-law's words before he left, telling them to stay calm no matter what happened.
As long as they were there, they were safe, and he was given a list of names and contact information that he could use.
Although there was no phone number for the disciplinary office inside, he knew that if he really wanted to take action, even the disciplinary office would have to give him face.
Thinking of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This wasn't a backup plan left for him; it was a test from his father-in-law.
If he were to harm these people under his command for the sake of the Wei family, Wei Changgen might actually be able to save his life, but he would have no future.
Back when his wife was being treated so badly, his father-in-law didn't even suggest she seek help, which means those people probably don't exist.
He couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what was fake.
As long as those people are dealt with, he will be himself and his wife will be his wife. Thinking of this, Wei Baichuan's face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Suti was startled when he saw his face suddenly turn pale.
Wei Baichuan stopped hiding it and told his wife everything his father-in-law had said before he left.
Su Ti smiled. Her father had a firm grasp on people's hearts. If Wei Baichuan had said it beforehand, she would have guessed his intentions.
Her father had calculated that Wei Baichuan wouldn't tell, which was also a form of trust, but with a final layer of precaution on top of that trust.
Even if Wei Baichuan really asks those people for help on behalf of the Wei family, they will definitely consult their father first, and then it still won't work.
But their trust was broken, and this was her father's real test for his son-in-law, to make him truly stand on her side.
"Don't be angry. My dad has always been very careful in taking things one step at a time. He's just afraid that I'll get hurt."
Suti could understand her father's thoughts, but she couldn't tell him that Wei Baichuan would definitely not stand against her.
Even if he had a way to save those people in the Wei family, he wouldn't do it. Once their hearts have turned cold, it's hard to warm them up again.
“I don’t blame Dad. He was thinking of you. I’m just a little scared. I’m afraid that if I do something wrong, they will take you away.”
Wei Baichuan said, holding the person tightly and refusing to let go. He had nothing left now and was really afraid that one day his wife would abandon him too.
"Fool, I'll say it again, no matter what, I will never leave you, I will stay with you until we grow old."
Suti hugged Wei Baichuan's head and rubbed against him. She was able to come back because of him, so that her family wouldn't end up like they did in their past life.
To be honest, her whole family should thank him. She will never leave him in this lifetime; only he can give her the happiness she wants.
"Okay, I'll remember." Wei Baichuan hugged the person tightly; this was the last time.
His wife said she would never leave him, and he believed her. In this life, no matter where he goes, she will always be his alone.
The two opened their hearts to each other, and their relationship became even stronger, while the Wei family was now in deep trouble.
The team searched the Wei family's house thoroughly, but found nothing except three yuan in Wei Laoda's room and fifty cents in Wei Laosan's room.
They looked on incredulously. This was the former captain's family, how could they be poorer than the families of the team members?
They asked a lot of questions, cursing and swearing, but the Wei family knew nothing about it, only crying and shouting.
