"Didn't that kid dig wild vegetables for Su Jincai every day? I heard that he earned dozens of dollars from digging wild vegetables in those years! Even so, Su Jincai was still not satisfied and sent people to his house every day to collect the money. He is really a debt collector!"
"Oh my god, what a sin! This mother and son are so pitiful to have to deal with Su Jincai's family."
The leader became more and more angry as he listened. In the area under his jurisdiction, this village was clearly the one with the strongest labor force and the best economic benefits. If the people were simple and honest and the villagers helped each other, he might be able to get promoted if he stayed for another two years.
The provincial leaders will come to inspect in a few days. Fortunately, he came here today to investigate the situation. If the provincial leaders were to come for inspection, and Su Jincai still came to make trouble and bully orphans and widows, wouldn't the leaders blame him, saying that he turned this village into a village of bullies and neglected to investigate the people's sentiments?
The leader's face turned cold: "Su Fuqiang, is this how you watch the people in your village bully the vulnerable women and children? They come to cause trouble every now and then, and you don't warn them?"
When Su Jincai saw that the leader was going to stand on Su Luo's side, he hurriedly said, "Leader, you can't just listen to other people's one-sided words! Su Luo really beat her mother this morning! How can a daughter fight with her parents? Even if her parents are not nice, they still gave her life and raised her. They are her destiny. If she beats her parents, she will be struck by lightning. The God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning will strike her to death!"
Su Fuqiang's face changed. He called him "Dear Leader" and "Thunder God and Lightning Goddess" again. All his feudal ideas and superstitions were exposed by his just one sentence!
Su Luo pretended to change her expression and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a new society and a new era. Where did you come from? You have such feudal and rigid ideas. How can you be an adult now? The leaders are all here to serve the people. Don't talk nonsense and harm the leaders!"
Several leaders present also changed their expressions. In public, with so many uneducated villagers, if the feudal word "Dear Leader" spread, they might all be implicated!
Su Jincai knew he had said the wrong thing, and quickly said, "My dear leader... No no, Comrade leader, please don't be angry with me. I was just angry. You see, how can a daughter beat her parents? My wife was beaten by her daughter, and I was so angry that I came to ask for an explanation. I'm not trying to cause trouble!"
The leader said sternly: "You'd better make yourself clear before you speak! Don't say anything you shouldn't say!"
Su Jincai nodded and bowed quickly in response.
Su Luo said calmly: "My father has no evidence to prove that the wound on my mother's face was caused by me, but I have a way to prove that it was not caused by me."
"What method?" Su Fuqiang looked at her.
Su Luo pulled Guo Xiu up. She wanted to resist, but Aunt Niu understood and came over to help Su Luo control Guo Xiu.
The two men were very strong. Guo Xiu struggled for a few times, but could not move. She said in horror: "What are you going to do? Are you going to beat me in front of the leader?"
Su Luo put her hand on Guo Xiu's face and gestured for everyone to see: "Look, my hand is much smaller than my mother's face. Even if I try harder, I can't make such a big slap mark."
The leader and everyone saw that it was indeed the case. The slap mark was very large. If Su Luo put her hand on it and three fingers beside it, it would be enough. Even if she tried harder, the slap mark would at most turn purple. How could it be possible to leave such a large slap mark?
Su Luo took back her hand and continued, "Actually, we want to find out who hit my mother. It's not difficult. Why don't you put Su Jincai's hand on it and see what's going on."
Everyone looked at Su Jincai with a changed look in their eyes, and suddenly he put his hands behind his back and said, "Bullshit! You beat him up yourself, and you want to blame it on me. Su Luo, is this how you honor your parents? You are so rebellious. Be careful not to get struck by lightning tomorrow when it rains!"
Su Jincai's guilty look was undoubtedly the most powerful evidence. Even the leaders who didn't know Su Jincai's family could see what was going on.
Su Fuqiang was even more disappointed: "Su Jincai! You're always looking for trouble. You don't want to do this anymore, right?"
Su Jincai is strong and healthy. He can do the work of three people working on the village farm. If it is not necessary, Su Fuqiang really doesn't want to kick him out.
Su Jincai panicked when he heard this: "I... Village Chief, I didn't do anything! I just came here today to ask for an explanation..."
"Stop talking." The leader interrupted him impatiently and looked at Su Fuqiang: "I hope that such things will never happen again in your Xingsheng Village."
Su Fuqiang understood that his leader was pointing a finger at him, so he nodded quickly and said to Su Jincai, "Su Jincai! From today on, if you come to cause trouble for Su Luo and her son again, you will be fired from the farm. I have warned you many times. If you don't stop, not only you, but also your nephew Su Sheng, who works at the stone factory, will be affected."
Su Sheng and Li Cuicui couldn't help but look panicked.
Li Cuicui even said, "Leader, this is none of our business. My husband and I often send things to Su Luo to help her. We found the house she lives in! My husband and I work hard and are good people!"
Su Fuqiang knew that if he didn't teach them a lesson, they would not stop. With the leaders present today, he had to punish them severely no matter what.
"You are all one family, we don't have joint liability."
After he said this, Su Sheng's face looked a little better.
Su Fuqiang continued, "But you and your wife also stopped a mother and her son from arguing at the entrance of the village at noon. Didn't we know about this?"
Su Sheng and Li Cuicui's faces changed instantly.
Su Fuqiang: "I'm telling you, if I hear someone in the village say that your family came to Su Luo's house to cause trouble again, you won't get your job! The company won't want people like you with problematic work styles!"
Su Jincai was frightened. It didn't matter if he lost his job, but Su Sheng couldn't lose his job. Su Sheng and his wife still had to give his family five dollars a month for living expenses. If they both lost their jobs, who would raise his son?
When Su Jincai thought of his son, he immediately calmed down: "Leader, Village Chief, it's all misunderstandings, all misunderstandings. We are just quarreling about some family matters. Please don't take it too seriously!"
He turned to look at Su Luo again: "Xiao Luo, Dad was just angry just now. You know that Dad has a bad temper. When he gets anxious, he can't take care of anything. Don't be angry with Dad."
He managed a forced smile.
Su Luo didn't even look at him, and just said to the leaders: "Today in front of the leaders, I want to ask you a favor."
"What's the matter? Tell me." The leader now urgently needs to uphold justice for the disadvantaged groups in order to get rid of his title of "Lord Leader". Putting this hat on him can really be a crushing blow.
