Chapter 47 She also wanted to study, and she also longed to know...
Zhou Xian was listening nearby. He reached out and tugged at Director Ji's sleeve, and asked solemnly, "Director, do you believe what Hong Mei said is true?"
"Of course I believe it." Director Ji looked at Zhou Xian in confusion.
Although Xiao Zhou had just arrived, Director Ji believed that he had some understanding of Zhou Xian and felt that she would not ask these questions for no reason.
"What are you thinking?" Director Ji was so angry that her head hurt. She thought, why not just arrest all those people.
Zhou Xian did not keep the secret and said directly, "Let's go to Secretary He to borrow some militiamen. We will split the troops into two groups. You and Officer Chen will lead the militiamen to arrest the eldest son of the Yang family. Officer Li and I will go to the Yanghua Brigade to arrest the third son of the Yang family. We will not waste time talking to them after we arrest them. We will just put them in a small dark room for interrogation."
Director Ji wanted to do this, but he was worried that he would not be able to do so.
"There has to be a reason, right?" The Women's Federation arrested someone before because that person persecuted female comrades.
"Some enthusiastic people could not bear to see the Yang brothers covet the compensation of Comrade Yang Liansheng and abuse Comrade Yang Liansheng's daughter, so they reported him anonymously. We just contacted them to understand the situation."
Director Ji nodded at Zhou Xian, saying that this was a good reason.
Someone reported child abuse and it involved compensation for martyrs, so they naturally had to find someone to clarify the matter. The reasons were ready.
And it coincided with her idea, arrest people, arrest all those bastards.
Do you really think that the Women's Federation of their commune is just there to do nothing?
But when Director Ji thought about Zhou Xian and Li Lingling going together, he was still a little worried.
"What if you two young girls go and get hurt?"
Director Ji looked at Zhou Xian with some worry, mainly because Xiao Li was just a idler on weekdays and Hong Mei was still in the area under her responsibility. If the child had not come to her on her own, she would not have noticed it. She was a little worried about sending her to do this.
Zhou Xian looked at Director Ji, raised his fist and said, "Don't worry, Director Ji, my paper can be published in the newspaper, and when it comes to martial arts, I also have the strength and means."
Director Ji was amused by her and started to laugh, and also remembered the rumors about her hunting wild boars.
No matter how powerful the Yang family is, can they be more powerful than the wild boar?
Xiao Zhou can kill a wild boar with one punch, so what about the Yang family...
Director Ji paused for a moment, then grabbed Zhou Xian and earnestly warned him, "Xiao Zhou, I know you are very strong. If the Yang family really goes too far, I will beat them up. If anything goes wrong, I will cover it for you, but don't let anyone get killed."
The main thing is that if someone dies, she won't be able to handle it. If she is simply beaten up, she won't be able to bear it. But there is still Secretary He. If all else fails, there is still her sister who is the chairman of the Women's Federation.
As the director of the Women's Federation, how could she watch women and children being persecuted? It was normal for the talks to fail.
Director Ji felt that those evil people should be taught a lesson.
The most important thing is that there are militiamen following them, so Xiao Zhou and the others shouldn't be in any big trouble.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Once we catch them, we must not give the two brothers a chance to come into contact. We must try them separately so as not to alert the enemy and confuse their confessions. There must be loopholes that we can find."
Zhou Xian and Director Ji looked at each other, and they nodded in tacit understanding.
As long as they admit that they took compensation from Comrade Yang Liansheng, the rest of the things will be easy.
Director Ji thought that Xiao Zhou was really smart. On his first day at work, he was able to remain calm and come up with a solution when faced with such a situation. She wanted to see what Xiao Zhou was going to do next.
They discussed it together and considered all the possible outcomes. Then Director Ji took Yang Hongmei to ask Secretary He to borrow people.
Secretary He saw Yang Hongmei's appearance. Although she had been cleaned up, he could still tell how much this child had suffered before. When he heard that Yang Hongmei's brigade was under the charge of his niece, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Since there was a chance to make amends, Secretary He didn't say much. He had to lend this person to Director Ji.
Before leaving, Director Ji reminded Secretary Li to cooperate well with Zhou Xian, and his attitude towards her was completely different, as if he was handling everything in a businesslike manner.
Li Lingling knew in her heart that she had completely irritated Director Ji this time. Naturally, she agreed when Zhou Xian asked her to go to Yanghua Brigade with him. If she could atone for her sins, Director Ji might let her go.
If this matter could be resolved, my uncle would not be angry anymore. When she saw the disappointed look in her uncle's eyes just now, Li Lingling felt for the first time what it meant to be ashamed.
It was not difficult for Director Ji to find Yang Hongmei's uncle Yang Lianwu. The director of the factory where Yang Lianwu worked was Director Ji's husband.
Moreover, Director Ji also serves as the director of the Women's Federation of the factory. It would be very convenient to go there under this name.
Fearing that this might cause a commotion, Director Ji took Secretary Chen and the militia comrades straight to the factory director's office. Without specifying what the matter was, he simply asked someone to call Yang Lianwu over.
As soon as they arrived at the office, they were taken away for interrogation without saying a word.
On the other side, Zhou Xian asked Yang Hongmei to sit on the horizontal bar in front of the bicycle to show the way, and asked Director Li to sit behind.
The other two militia comrades also only rode a bicycle.
"Can you do this? Or should I borrow a bike?"
Secretary Li's family is also in the commune. She walks directly to work without using a bicycle.
"Okay, why not."
Seeing Zhou Xian’s confident look, Secretary Li was a little hesitant.
"Hurry up, don't waste time. It's a long way to go. Don't let it get dark before you can't make it back. I don't want to go back at night."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Li no longer hesitated and quickly sat in the back.
Zhou Xian rushed out on the bike, and Director Li was so scared that he immediately hugged her waist and shouted, "Slow down, slow down."
The Yanghua Brigade was still some distance away from the commune. Officer Li could not hold back his words. He glanced at the two militiamen following behind him and asked, "Why did you ask me to come with you? Wouldn't it be more convenient for Director Ji to come?"
After all, Director Ji is a higher-ranking official than them, and he can definitely shock those people better than her.
"Secretary Li, actually, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were very special." Zhou Xian did not answer her question, but talked about other topics.
"Special? What's special about me?" Secretary Li couldn't help but touch his cheek. He thought Zhou Xian was praising his beauty and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"You see, you are a capable person, but no one has noticed your merit. Moreover, I think you are a very kind person. That mandarin duck washbasin is yours, right? When I was washing Hongmei's hair, you even helped find a towel. Hongmei, tell me, is our Secretary Li a capable person?"
"Yes, Secretary Li is a good person, and so is Sister Zhou." Yang Hongmei nodded vigorously.
"No, actually I'm not that good either." Secretary Li replied with a guilty conscience.
She used to find those who came to complain annoying, and she told her uncle that she wanted to be transferred out of the Women's Federation. Of course, she couldn't tell Zhou Xian about these things.
Although he felt that the person Zhou Xian was praising was not himself, Director Li still shamelessly agreed.
I can't tell her that I'm not as good as she praises me to be.
Zhou Xian grinned happily, no matter whether she was or not, she had to be. Secretary Li is Secretary He’s niece. It would be a waste if we don’t use this relationship.
Secretary Li couldn't resist Zhou Xian's deception. Yang Hongmei was not stupid either. She cooperated with Zhou Xian and fooled Secretary Li. It made her feel her heartbeat quicken, and even like something in her chest was about to burst out. She really needed an outlet.
Yang Hongmei and Zhou Xian also had a very happy chat. She didn't remember whether these two officials had existed before. Before her rebirth, before she married the old widower, she had never even been to the commune. Even after she went there a few times later, she didn't know who the leaders of the commune were.
At that time, she didn't even think about who could help her, let alone going to the Women's Federation of the commune to seek help.
Maybe she was so bad in her previous life that God couldn't stand it anymore and gave her a chance to start over.
She heard someone in the brigade talking about the incident in which the Women's Federation came to the brigade to arrest people.
It was too long ago, and she couldn't remember whether such a thing happened in her previous life, but she remembered the things at home very clearly.
At least in this life, I am no longer a puppet of that family, and I don’t want to lose my usefulness and be kicked away by those people.
She also wanted to read and she longed to learn to read.
She knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed in the future. She had never dared to even think about those things before. She was the calamity that brought her father to death, and she didn't deserve to think about those things.
Maybe God couldn't bear to see what happened to her in her past life and allowed her to start over again. She has the memories of her past life and knows many things that she doesn't know now.
If she still follows the same path as in her previous life, it would be too unfair to God for letting her start over.
She was right to come to the commune to file a complaint.
Although she initially wanted to find the highest-ranking leader of the commune, even if she accidentally found the wrong person, it gave her hope.
She sat on her bicycle and watched the group of poplar catkins getting closer and closer.
That was the lingering nightmare from her previous life. Seeing those familiar scenes, Yang Hongmei felt as if she had returned to the past and her body couldn't stop shaking.
Before I even entered the team, someone looked over.
The body-building pills not only improved Zhou Xian's fighting power, but also made her ears and eyes sharper.
Who are those people discussing?
There were five people in the group, and they only knew Li Lingling. They knew that she was a secretary from the commune. After all, Li Lingling had been to their team before. The others looked very unfamiliar and they had never seen them before.
But as they watched, someone recognized Yang Hongmei.
Yang Hongmei usually looks dirty. According to Old Lady Yang, she just doesn't like cleanliness. She can't enjoy the blessings given to her. She is a jinx and has brought death to her father.
She's still a money-loser. She squandered all her father's compensation money.
Some people knew what was going on, but they would not offend other members of the Yang family for the sake of an orphan child.
When they suddenly saw Yang Hongmei who had cleaned up, everyone was a little confused.
"Hey, isn't that the girl Hongmei who went up on her own?" someone suddenly said.
"Besides Officer Li, who are the others? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Those people thought Zhou Xian and the others were unfamiliar and kept staring at them.
"Is he a commune cadre?" someone speculated.
Zhou Xian also followed their wishes. After arriving at the brigade, she stopped riding the bike. She let Yang Hongmei sit on the bike, and she pushed the bike with Officer Li and two militia comrades, following Yang Hongmei's instructions, towards Yang's house.
The more this happened, the more curious those people became, and they even followed them unconsciously to see what was going on.
Before they arrived at Yang's house, Zhou Xian and the others heard a burst of cursing. The cursing was so foul that even Yang Hongmei couldn't help but shudder.
Zhou Xian understood immediately, and she asked softly, "Is he scolding you?"
Yang Hongmei lowered her head. When she heard Zhou Xian's question, she looked at her and nodded.
She had secretly run to the commune today under the pretext of going up the mountain to collect firewood. Now that there was no one to do the housework and she couldn't be found, she was scolded at home.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhou Xian reached out and gently patted Yang Hongmei on the back.
These words seemed to give Yang Hongmei great courage. She looked up with bright eyes and nodded vigorously at Zhou Xian.
Then she realized belatedly that she was a little embarrassed. She was already an old lady, but she was still so useless.
But think about it, this sister is older than me. If she reaches the same age as me in my previous life, she should be an old lady. Thinking of this, Yang Hongmei's embarrassment disappeared.
She jumped out of the car.
She felt that if she wanted others to help her, she should first be brave.
She held Zhou Xian's sleeve and said loudly, "Sister Zhou, my home is just ahead."
Zhou Xian leaned over and whispered something in Yang Hongmei's ear, then turned back and said to Director Li, "Let's go in."
Secretary Li naturally also heard the dirty words and couldn't help but frown. When he saw Zhou Xian calling him, he followed behind.
Zhou Xian parked her bicycle in front of the Yang family's door. She was naturally not afraid of losing her bicycle. If her bicycle was lost in front of so many people, it would be no small matter.
She parked the car aside, and she and Secretary Li, holding Yang Hongmei's hands, went into the yard. The two militia comrades followed behind and didn't say much along the way. Before they came, Secretary He had reminded them to listen to Comrade Zhou Xian.
The woman in the yard was cursing loudly when she suddenly saw a stranger coming in.
"Who are you? Who let you in?"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Yang Hongmei in the middle, as if she was trying to identify her. After a while, she shrilly said, "Where have you been, you little bastard? You don't even want to work. I think you want to die."
Having said that, the woman ignored Zhou Xian and the others, walked over quickly, and reached out to twist Yang Hongmei's ear.
This time she did not grab Yang Hongmei's ear and pull her over as usual, because her hand was grabbed by someone.
The woman tried to pull it out, but failed because the girl was too strong.
Just as she was pulling her hand back with all her strength, she was caught off guard when Zhou Xian suddenly let go of her hand. She took a few steps back and fell on her butt.
The woman cried out in pain, and soon someone came out of the room.
Zhou Xian winked at Li, who received the signal and shouted in full force, "Where's Yang Lianwen? Call him out."
