Chapter 265 Punishment
Tang Mei felt heavy in her heart.
Tang Mei carefully wiped the sweat off Lu Miao's neck and arms and washed the towel.
After a long silence, he asked again:
"Who is that Chen Miaomiao? Is she the one with two pigtails and her hair always hanging loose on her forehead like Xiaobao?"
Fu Jingyou nodded and said "hmm" in an inaudible voice.
Tang Mei took a deep breath, sat on a stool beside her, looked at Fu Jingyou and said earnestly:
"Xiao Fu, you know Xiao Bao's conditions well. She likes you, and we as adults respect her choice."
"Auntie has no other requirements for you. Just be good to her and protect her."
Tang Mei changed the subject and continued:
"But if you can't protect her, I can't let her live with you in this remote place."
"Don't blame your aunt for interfering. As a common people, enduring hardship is an honor. But this isn't about enduring hardship. It's about being a poisonous snake, about taking lives."
This incident made Tang Mei deeply impressed by a saying.
There are many unruly people in remote and poor areas.
Even if there is a feud, it is not the revenge for one's father being killed or one's wife being taken away.
How could a young lesbian do such a ruthless thing!
Her little treasure...luckily nothing happened to him.
Tang Mei was terrified and sat down beside the bed, stroking Lu Miao's face with heartache.
Fu Jingyou was stunned.
Tang Mei's words left him speechless.
What can the explanation explain?
As a man and a husband, he should have the responsibility to protect Lu Miao and his family.
Seeing that Lu Miao's face had not yet regained its color, a hint of ferocity suddenly flashed across Fu Jingyou's brows.
...Chen Miaomiao, you can’t stay.
At least she can no longer stay in Dahe Village, the Second Production Team.
Give the house key to Tang Mei in case she wants to go back to get something.
Fu Jingyou pushed his bicycle and went straight to the team.
He Hongjin went to the brigade yesterday, and afterwards Chen Miaomiao was transferred to the brigade.
The specific results have not yet been concluded.
In short, during this break in the busy farming season, He Hongjin went to the team again early this morning and has not returned yet.
This is no small matter, and there should be discussions on the brigade side.
Fu Jingyou wanted to go to the brigade to inquire about the news and see what was going on. When he arrived, he found that only Captain Bai's wife was at home.
After asking, I was told that Captain Bai and He Hongjin took Chen Miaomiao to the commune.
Fu Jingyou was worried and forgot to say "thank you".
He turned around with his bicycle and hurried back to the commune.
In the red brick wall courtyard of the commune, there is a waist-thick camphor tree, and its lush crown provides a large area of shade.
Chen Miaomiao received ideological education in the house, while Bai Yang and He Hongjin sat in the shade of a tree to keep cool.
Fu Jingyou entered the yard and parked his bicycle. Bai Yang and He Hongjin happened to see him.
"What brought you here?"
He Hongjin stood up anxiously and asked:
"What about my wife at home? What if there's no one watching over me on the team?"
Fu Jingyou couldn't listen, so he glanced at Bai Yang and asked:
"What does the captain say about this?"
Thinking that everyone in the commune knew about it now, he asked again:
"What does the commune leader mean?"
When Fu Jingyou gets angry, no one can persuade him.
He Hongjin didn't want to scold or rebuke him anymore, so he just confessed:
"It's not easy to discuss this matter in the brigade, so why not bring it to the commune?"
Bai Yang then stood up and said:
"We just had a small meeting, and the commune said they would give Chen Zhiqing some punishment."
"What kind of punishment is this?"
Fu Jingyou pressed on aggressively, "Can you get her away?!"
After all, Bai Yang was the team leader, in charge of several production teams. He Hongjin was afraid that Fu Jingyou would offend someone, so he quickly pushed him:
"How dare you talk like that, you bastard!"
You have finally taken off the hat, don't let others make things difficult for you because of other things.
Bai Yang saw what He Hongjin was thinking and stopped him, saying:
"Old He, how many years have we known each other? Do you still treat me as an outsider?"
He Hongjin laughed awkwardly.
Bai Yang shook his head slightly and explained to Fu Jingyou:
"It's unlikely he'll be transferred. The leader just said that Chen Zhiqing's punishment will be recorded in his household registration file."
"I recently heard that there are quotas for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University being transferred. Maybe there will be news of educated youth returning to the city in the future..."
"Chen Zhiqing's personal behavior is problematic, and her information is inadequate. She probably won't be able to earn a spot in these activities in the future."
Fu Jingyou felt anxious after hearing this.
Isn’t the meaning of this statement obvious enough?
Not only will Chen Miaomiao not be transferred, she may even stay in Dahe Village for the rest of her life.
"It's just a small thing, and you can call it a punishment? What kind of punishment is this?"
Just a quick ideological education and not being able to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, is that the end?
Even if she can participate, can she?
Bai Yang frowned, glanced at the person beside him and whispered a reminder:
"This is a commune, right under the leadership's nose. How can you say such nonsense?"
Fu Jingyou was not convinced, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter.
Bai Yang understood him.
A man of advanced age, who had finally found a wife and started a family, encountered this kind of thing.
Anyone would be anxious and angry.
Bai Yang softened his tone and said:
"This punishment is nothing to us villagers, but it is a very severe punishment for these educated youth. The leaders are also taking our feelings into consideration."
Bai Yang spoke with such earnestness that Fu Jingyou didn't want to continue getting angry with him, so he honestly confessed his difficulties:
"I trust the leader, but I don't trust her."
"This isn't the first or second time she's been causing trouble. Previously, she was trying to sow discord, and now she's setting snakes on fire. Who can guarantee she won't commit murder or arson next time?"
“…She wouldn’t dare.”
Fu Jingyou is not an unreasonable person.
His main target was Chen Miaomiao, not Bai Yang.
But after hearing Bai Yang's words, he couldn't help but feel indignant:
"She doesn't dare? Who said she doesn't dare? Did she say so herself?"
After asking three soul-searching questions, Fu Jingyou snorted, smiled coldly, and said:
"She has already come this far, what else is there that she dare not do?"
Bai Yang was speechless after hearing this.
But looking at Fu Jingyou's attitude, Bai Yang realized that there must be something else going on, and he didn't dare to make any more guarantees.
Bai Yang asked, "What exactly is the cause of the conflict between you two?"
In the past, Fu Jingyou thought Chen Miaomiao was a lesbian, so he was reluctant to say many things to others.
Now that these things have happened, Fu Jingyou has nothing to worry about.
There is no need for him to ignore his wife and children because of an irrelevant person.
“There’s no holiday.”
Fu Jingyou told the whole story:
"Everyone in Dahe Village knows that this educated young man named Chen has some mental problems."
"They often stopped me from saying nonsense before. I still had a class status at the time, so I kept my distance from them, so they gave me a few warnings."
