Chapter 1040: Go with the Flow 3

Feng Qingxue pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking like a wronged young wife.

She is extremely beautiful, but when she looks like this, everyone feels that she is very wronged.

"I haven't been back to my parents' home for seven years since I got married. Today, I suddenly felt like going back home before I return to the army. After all, this is where I was born and raised. I lived there with my sister before I married my revolutionary partner, so I miss it forever. But I didn't expect that the entire Caohu Brigade was in such a mess that an old bachelor who was lazy, ignorant and a very bad person became the brigade leader and took power. He treated the original brigade leader and his wife like a nobody!"

Lu Jiang handed the appeal materials to Secretary Zheng and Township Chief Chen, "Both comrades, please take a look at the appeal materials of Comrade Feng Shuanzhu. The old leader said that we must seek truth from facts and not falsify. Comrade Feng Shuanzhu was a poor peasant, that was determined long ago, how come when all the land belonged to the state, he, a poor peasant, became a landlord?"

Secretary Zheng asked in surprise, "Is this true?" He looked incredulous.

Lu Jiang glanced at him with a half-smile, "Comrade Feng Shuanzhu was the captain of the Caohu Brigade. Before he was framed, he often came to the commune for meetings, right? Why don't the comrades recognize him? Don't you know what his class background is? If you tell me this, not even a three-year-old kid would believe it."

Secretary Zheng and Township Chief Chen coughed a few times at the same time, feeling a little embarrassed.

You look at me, I look at you, and I don’t know what to say for a moment. The person in front of me is not an ordinary person. He cannot be fooled by a few words.

"This matter..." Secretary Zheng waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. Only the mayor and deputy mayor were left in the office. "To be honest with you, Comrade Lu Jiang, we have no control over this matter. If we can, we can't let Comrade Feng Shuanzhu be framed like this. This matter is a political task assigned by the higher-ups, and Li Chengdong was promoted directly by them without the consent of our commune." He pointed upwards and whispered the words "County Committee."

Deputy Township Chief Wang whispered, "Comrade Feng Shuanzhu was removed because he was disobedient and failed to complete his political tasks. At that time, people were panicking and the entire commune was in chaos. We were busy taking care of ourselves, so how could we have the energy to take care of others?"

Township head Chen then said, "That's right, Comrade Lu Jiang, you can't blame us for not supervising strictly. We are helpless too. Although we are all rough guys, we can at least recognize a few words and know right from wrong. How could we choose an illiterate Li Chengdong as the team leader? Even if he is a representative of the farmers, so what? Does he know how to keep accounts and assign work? He knows nothing. The Caohu team is a mess now! But who told him to be favored by the higher-ups? He is so good at flattering, shouting slogans so loudly, and doing things so quickly."

After hearing these words, Feng Qingxue frowned and looked very unhappy.

Mayor Chen sighed, "We don't have his ability, so we can only protect ourselves for the time being and dare not meddle in other people's affairs."

Secretary Zheng interrupted Mayor Chen and said, "However, today the two comrades sent Li Chengdong to our door, which gave us a reason to replace him. Insulting the military and falsely accusing the poor peasants of being landlords is enough to make him have no chance to stand up."
