"Qingqing, the banquet is about to begin, let's go outside!"
"good!"
The banquet was prepared by Gu Nanxun. It was a little better than the one when Lin Qing moved last time, but it wasn't too extravagant. However, for the villagers, it was still considered a top-notch banquet.
As soon as the meal began, the uncles and aunties at the table stopped talking and buried themselves in their food, their mouths greasy with oil. A dish was devoured in less than two minutes after it was served.
Those who are slow might only be able to pick up one bite, and by the time they want to pick up a second bite, there won't be any left.
"..."
"Why aren't they here yet? The banquet is almost over. If they don't come soon, it might be too late."
At this moment, Li Hongmei anxiously hid to the side, glaring fiercely at Lin Qing.
Lin Qing, don't blame me. You wronged me first. You've pushed me to this point, so I won't let you get away with it.
Today is Lin Qing's wedding day. Li Hongmei learned from the aunt who helps with the cooking in the village that Lin Qing's wedding banquet today is very well prepared, with a full ten dishes, and each dish is meat.
So he came up with a plan and asked Hu Ziqiang to report Lin Qing to the Ge Committee, saying that Lin Qing lived a life of extravagance, practiced capitalist behavior, and had contraband hidden in his home.
Originally, they could have secretly written a letter to report it, but Li Hongmei hated Hu Ziqiang so much that she deliberately let Hu Ziqiang report it himself. If the report was successful, Lin Qing would be punished; if it failed, Hu Ziqiang would take the blame.
She would benefit no matter what. If the report succeeded, she would get revenge; if it failed, it would be Hu Ziqiang's problem. It would be best if he was arrested as well, so that she could get rid of Hu Ziqiang.
These days she was living a life worse than death. Every day she had to go to work, and after work she had endless housework to do. At night she also had to serve Hu Ziqiang, who was particularly brutal in that area, often leaving her covered in bruises.
Li Hongmei looked at the scene before her and felt secretly anxious. Everyone was about to finish eating. If the Ge Committee members didn't come soon, they wouldn't be able to catch Lin Qing living a life of extravagance. Although there were still things in the room, without the banquet, it would be less convincing.
Li Hongmei was unaware that he had been under surveillance since the second day of his arrival as a new educated youth in the countryside. He was followed as soon as Hu Ziqiang left in the morning.
"We can leave now!"
Zhao Qiu and Zhao Yu, who were hiding in the woods, heard Zhao Dong's message and retreated with him, quickly returning to Lin Qing's house.
"Young Master, it's ready."
Gu Nanxun already knew about Hu Ziqiang's trip to the Ge Neighborhood Committee, and he sent Zhao Qiu and Zhao Yu to follow him all the way to the committee.
They sabotaged their journey, preventing them from reaching the Chaoyang Brigade smoothly, thus delaying Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing's wedding.
For whatever reason, Gu Nanxun would not allow anyone to ruin his wedding with Lin Qing.
When the banquet began, Gu Nanxun instructed Zhao Chun to use his storage ring to collect all the valuable items in the room. Now that everything was ready, everyone had finished their meal and was preparing to leave, waiting to welcome the members of the Ge Committee.
"Damn it, this is really unlucky. I've run into nothing but bad things today."
After Zhao Qiu and Zhao Yu left, Wang Dagang from the Ge Committee finally arrived at the Chaoyang Brigade.
He looked at the Chaoyang Brigade in front of him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was hit on the head by something unknown as soon as he went out with his men today.
After finally getting his wound treated, he soon discovered that his bicycle had broken down. It took him quite a while to get back into town and replace it.
As a result, when they entered the mountains, a wild boar suddenly rushed down from the mountain and scattered the group. By the time they finally managed to kill the wild boar, most of their group had been injured.
Wang Dagang glared at Hu Ziqiang, whose leg had been injured by a wild boar. If he didn't get anything today, he would make sure Hu Ziqiang suffered a terrible fate.
Looking into Wang Dagang's eyes, Hu Ziqiang felt a little scared. He regretted his actions today. Looking at his injured leg, he suppressed the urge to go back for treatment and secretly prayed that he could successfully win over Lin Qing today, otherwise Wang Dagang would definitely not let him off easily.
And so, Wang Dagang led his team, stumbling and bumping along the way, when they were almost at Chaoyang Brigade. The road ahead was blocked by a fallen tree, and next to the tree, someone had piled up a lot of stones, branches and other things. He could only lead his team to move the obstacles little by little.
Seeing the many hardships along the way, Wang Dagang even considered turning back. However, looking at the state of his men, he steeled himself and headed towards the Chaoyang Brigade. When he finally saw the Chaoyang Brigade, Wang Dagang couldn't help but burst into tears. He had finally arrived.
"Captain, something bad has happened! Hu Ziqiang is leading a group of people from the Ge Committee this way."
Just as everyone was about to leave after the banquet, they heard this bombshell news.
Everyone stopped walking, and some quickened their pace to get home.
"Damn it, what is Hu Ziqiang trying to do?"
The brigade leader hated the Ge Committee the most. This Ge Committee was like a bandit, and he didn't know how many people had been killed. Now Hu Ziqiang actually dared to provoke the Revolutionary Committee. He was simply courting death.
The captain thought to himself, "We can't let Hu Ziqiang get away with this any longer."
"Is this Lin Qing's home?"
Wang Dagang looked at the brick house in front of him and asked.
"Comrades, what brings you here today?"
Hearing Wang Dagang's question, Lin Qing was about to speak when Gu Nanxun pinched her arm and stopped her.
