Chapter 798 A Blessing in Disguise 4

Wang Xinru spread her hands. "There's nothing we can do. If the whistleblower is punished, who will dare to expose injustice in the future? As for whether it was done out of jealousy, the higher-ups won't care. However, even if Cao Hongzhu is not punished, no one will want to have a sincere relationship with her. Everyone is afraid that she will report them in the future."

Huang Xiuzhi whispered, "Qingxue, don't be angry. I tell you, this situation is good."

"We are reported and it's considered a good thing? Is it considered serious if we are killed?"

Huang Xiuzhi looked up at the sky and continued in a low voice, "At least after she reported it, someone from above came to investigate and cleared your and Lu Jiang's name. In the city where we came from, some people reported others for corruption because they were jealous of their good living conditions. As a result, the higher-ups directly convicted them without any investigation. Where could the people who were reported go to complain? This kind of thing is not uncommon. One year, Xiao Shitou's third grandfather from my hometown trapped a wild rabbit, but he didn't hand it over to the team, and secretly stewed it at home. Guess what happened?"

"Reported?" Feng Qingxue asked.

"Yes!" Huang Xiuzhi sighed, "The aroma of the rabbit stewed in the middle of the night spread out, and someone who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet smelled it. It was like a big deal! Our third uncle had his stewed rabbit confiscated, and he was criticized and almost beaten to death. It was only because of me that he was spared for the sake of Xiao Shitou's father. Before I took Xiao Shitou to join the army, the campaign against corruption, theft and extravagance was in full swing. The party secretary of our brigade was even beaten down because his living standard was above the average. It seems that this is what people said, and he was also reported by jealous people."

Guo Xiuying and Wang Xinru had been in the army for a long time and were not familiar with the situation, so they listened involuntarily.

Huang Xiuzhi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't continue. She quickly changed the subject. It was not until after lunch when she went to visit Lu's house that she lowered her voice and said to Feng Qingxue, "Qingxue, there are no landlords in our brigade. When we were fighting against landlords, the county committee insisted that our brigade find a landlord, so the person who should have been classified as a rich peasant became a landlord. The whole family was criticized and fought against every day, and he died early. I heard that the landlord in the brigade next door had a hundred or eighty crimes on his head. Although he was not a good man, he didn't do so many bad things. He couldn't stand the people saying that he did it."

Feng Qingxue was shocked, "Can you actually do this?"

"So what Sister Xinru said about Cao Hongzhu being punished is unlikely!" Huang Xiuzhi shook her head. "Did Cao Hongzhu mention Lu Jiang's background in her report? I just heard some family members' private discussions yesterday. Cao Hongzhu's report on you was all gossip from Lu Zhaodi. Ask Lu Jiang to write a letter to tell your father-in-law to be careful!"

Feng Qingxue thanked Huang Xiuzhi and told Lu Jiang in the evening.

Lu Jiang gently stroked his wife's smooth back. "Don't worry, Dad won't give anyone a chance to take advantage of us. Besides, we have acquaintances in both the county and municipal committees, so they naturally won't find someone to frame our dad. If they did, they would have done it years ago, not until now. When I was a soldier in the Southwest Military Region, I visited an exhibition hall with the troops. I'll tell you about this later, but I'll tell you something good first."

"What good news?"

"Guess!"

Feng Qingxue shook her head, unable to guess.

"From today on, I will temporarily take over the position of Deputy Commander Qi."
