Song Dahai winked at the people around him, wanting a few strong men to come and take Zhang Daqiang away.
Jiang Wanyue knew very well that among the nearly 2,000 people in the Xiaojing Brigade, at least one-third were dissatisfied with her as the deputy branch secretary, even though she had run a fishery, promoted the establishment of a bamboo weaving factory, and increased the per capita income of the villagers... But, just because she was a woman, before looking at her achievements, people would first evaluate her appearance.
It just so happens that she is still young and has outstanding looks, so some people look at her with tinted glasses.
This wouldn't be surprising fifty years later, let alone now.
Since someone has raised an objection, I would like to take this opportunity to make corrections to my statement.
"Dad, let him speak." Jiang Wanyue said calmly, "Secretary Ning from the county is here, and Secretary Qin from the commune is also here. If you have any doubts, you can raise them. It would be best if you can show evidence to prove your words."
"Do you need any evidence?" Zhang Daqiang said, stiffening his neck. "Everyone is covered in dirt, but you are clean. Everyone wears patched clothes, but you wear a Mao suit. Some people don't even have shoes, but you wear small leather shoes. Look, she even has a watch. She must have embezzled the collective money!"
Jiang Wanyue: “…”
When being dirty and filthy becomes the norm, cleanliness and tidiness become original sins.
She said sternly, "If that's the case, then let's check the accounts. Secretary Ning and Secretary Qin, please don't leave for now. I hope you two will stay and be my witnesses to clear my name!"
Secretary Qin looked angry.
He was well aware of Comrade Jiang Wanyue's abilities. He thought she was qualified enough to be a commune cadre, let alone a mere deputy branch secretary.
The deputy branch secretary earned 18 yuan a month, which was neither high nor low. If he gritted his teeth, he could afford a Zhongshan suit and small leather shoes. What's more, he knew that Jiang Wanyue received several payments for her writings every month. The remittance slips were sent to the commune, which added up to more than ten yuan a month. There was no reason he couldn't afford a watch.
He really wanted to curse Zhang Daqiang.
But he knew that cursing was useless.
After scolding one Zhang Daqiang away, there are still a lot of Zhang Daqiangs waiting.
Some people dare not say it openly, but secretly guess in their hearts. Such people are more terrifying.
Thinking of this, Secretary Qin said, "In order not to waste Secretary Ning's time and for the sake of fairness, the commune will arrange for someone to come and help check the accounts. All the branch secretaries of other brigades will also come and look at the account books together. If there are any problems, please raise them immediately. If there are no problems, then Zhang Daqiang, you must apologize to Comrade Jiang Wanyue in front of the whole brigade!"
Zhang Daqiang didn't care.
He firmly believed that Jiang Wanyue must have benefited from this.
Half an hour later, accountants from each brigade rushed over and began checking the accounts.
Zhao Xiangbei, as the accountant of the fishery, felt aggrieved when he saw this situation. He took out the account book and placed it on the table.
The fishery had only been established for half a year, so there weren't many accounts, but because a lot of big things had been done, such as purchasing various things, dividends, sales, factory construction, canteen expenses, salaries and benefits... Because there were so many miscellaneous things, a large stack of notebooks had slowly accumulated.
But since it is a new factory after all, each account book is separate and very simple and clear.
It only took about an hour to figure out the simple accounts clearly.
"The accounts at the fishery do seem a little inconsistent..."
The commune's accountant stepped forward and summed it up.
Zhang Daqiang showed a look of astonishment: "Oh, I knew she must have embezzled money. The commune must deal with this matter seriously. We must not let this kind of worm continue to eat away at our collective property!"
Secretary Ning showed a look of surprise on his face.
He had a very good impression of Jiang Wanyue, a female comrade. She was efficient and resolute in her work and kept her word. She was a good candidate to be a leader.
Young people are so capable, but why is their ideological awareness so low? Why don’t they think about their own future? How can they ruin their future for a little bit of profit?
Secretary Ning looked deeply distressed.
Secretary Qin took the account book from the accountant and said, "It's impossible that it doesn't match. It must be a mistake. Comrade Jiang Wanyue would never do such a thing... Huh?"
"There is an extra 34 yuan in the account," the accountant of the commune said. "After repeated investigations, we found that the extra money was in several places. For example, the canteen once bought rice at a price of 13 yuan and 70 cents, but the account only recorded 13 yuan. There were also purchases of starch and sweet potatoes. The actual expenditures were less than the accounts."
Everyone present was stunned.
I didn't expect that after checking again and again, I found that there were dozens of dollars more.
"Let me tell you why." Zhao Xiangbei stepped forward, his eyes red, and said, "When our fishery was just starting out, we didn't have enough money, so Sister Jiang took on some of the purchasing work herself, saying that she could find a way to buy low-priced supplies. Everyone knows that the things in the grain station and food station are all priced uniformly, so how can we buy cheap things? It was Sister Jiang who used her salary to subsidize the fishery! Because it was only a few cents each time, Sister Jiang didn't care, and I was embarrassed to say more. I didn't know until I checked. It turned out that Sister Jiang had subsidized the fishery more than 30 yuan without realizing it. This is a huge sum of money for every family, but Sister Jiang donated it to the fishery for free!"
Other people at the fishery came forward to share their experiences.
"The deputy branch secretary often brought eggs from his home to make egg soup for the canteen, but he never charged any money."
"The chairs in our fishery office were brought from the deputy branch secretary's home. We didn't spend a dime on them."
