Chapter 1039: Go with the Flow 2

It was not the busy farming season and the commune cadres did not have to go back home to work, so they were all very free and were gathering in the office drinking tea and chatting.

Suddenly, two soldiers, a man and a woman, came in to escort the recently popular Li Chengdong in. Then, a series of clear and pleasant accusations were made. Secretary Zheng and Mayor Chen of Shuguang Commune jumped up immediately, "What's going on, comrades?"

"I was just about to ask all of you comrades, are you not clear about the situation in the various brigades below, or are you playing dumb and just drinking tea and chatting?" Feng Qingxue put down the handkerchief covering her face. Her tearful face became even more beautiful, and she looked quite pitiful. "This Li Chengdong, relying on himself as the captain of the Caohu Brigade, insulted me, an active female soldier, in front of my revolutionary comrades. If my revolutionary comrades weren't around, would he have turned the tables?"

Lu Jiang threw Li Chengdong to the ground and said in a deep voice: "In the era of breaking down feudal old ideas, this man colluded with my revolutionary partner's brother and sister-in-law seven years ago, and wanted to force my partner to marry him with food as a betrothal gift. Fortunately, my partner was brave and resourceful and did not let him succeed. After marrying me, he joined the army as an exception and became a glorious medical soldier. Seven years later, we went back to Caohu Brigade to visit relatives. This man actually spoke wildly as the captain of Caohu Brigade, saying that Caohu Brigade was his territory! I would like to ask all comrades, comrades who serve in the commune, is Shuguang Commune your territory?"

Secretary Zheng waved his hands hastily, "No, no, absolutely not, of course not! The country is the people's country, the commune is the people's commune, and the words Shuguang People's Commune are hung on it. How could it be our private territory? Comrades, let's talk it out. May I know your names?"

After entering at this time, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue formally saluted and announced their names, "Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue."

Secretary Zheng quickly shook Lu Jiang's hand and said, "Oh my, you are blind, you are blind. It turned out to be Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue. We have heard of your great names for a long time."

Village chief Chen, deputy village chief Wang, a secretary, two clerks, an armed minister, a militia battalion commander, and two propagandists, a total of nine people, came forward one by one to shake hands with Lu Jiang. They shook hands tightly, all showing proud expressions. Their attentive attitude was a far cry from the casual attitude when the couple entered the door just now.

Since Feng Qingxue was a female comrade, Secretary Zheng, Township Chief Chen and others did not shake hands with her but only greeted her.

Secretary Zheng invited Lu Jiang and his wife to sit down, and asked the militia battalion commander to take Li Chengdong, who was drooling all over the ground, away. Then he patted his chest and said to Lu Jiang and his wife, "If the two comrades have suffered any grievances, just tell me. I will never let the two comrades suffer any loss."

"No, don't say that. This is not a matter of whether you suffer a loss or not. We should handle official business impartially. I can't have the final say here just because we are of higher ranks." Lu Jiang took out the complaint materials that Feng Shuan had tied up. "Today, there are two things. Li Chengdong used foul language to insult a female soldier who was pregnant. The circumstances are very serious. You must have an explanation for this matter."

Secretary Zheng hurriedly said, "Of course, of course. Don't worry, we will not tolerate Li Chengdong's bad behavior. Insulting soldiers is a written order and cannot be forgiven lightly!"
