Chapter 49 This female secretary is really amazing...
But now someone from the commune came to ask about it, and Wu Guoxing naturally didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He just hopes that big things can be resolved into small things, and small things can be resolved, and not make things too ugly.
"Shut up! How dare you say anything? Put away those reactionary thoughts of yours. This is a new society. That kind of thinking is no longer acceptable." Wu Guoxing hurriedly scolded the old couple of the Yang family.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. The Yang family has often relied on their deceased second son to bully others in the brigade.
Old Mrs. Yang wanted to defend herself, but Captain Wu glared back at her, and she had to hold back her words. After all, he was the captain, so she didn't dare to offend him completely.
Moreover, she inexplicably had a feeling that no matter what she said, this female cadre would put the blame on her.
Instead of doing that, she simply sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried, "My son, look, if you die, the money you leave to me will be gossiped about, and I won't be able to live anymore."
"Captain Wu! Are the members of your team going to carry forward their reactionary ideas to the end? The people have already passed away, yet they are still engaging in these feudal superstitions?" Zhou Xian ignored the old lady and called out to Captain Wu directly.
"Shut up! Didn't you hear me telling you to shut up?" Wu Guoxing was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing.
We just called her reactionary, but this old lady is crying and shouting for her dead son.
What does she want to do? What does she want to do?
At this time Zhou Xian winked at Yang Hongmei again, and Hongmei ran towards the team leader, knelt down and kowtowed firmly, "Team leader uncle, I beg you to help me, I also want to go to school, I want to learn to read, but grandma said that I have spent all the money at home, and there is no money for me to go to school. The things at home now are all borrowed from my uncle and third uncle, and they are not used to support my schooling. I beg you to be a witness, I can write an IOU to my uncle and third uncle, and I will return them when I have money in the future."
When the captain saw Yang Hongmei kneeling down, his heart beat faster. His hands moved before his brain and he pulled the child up.
When he started to hold the child, he realized that the child's arms were too thin. He didn't dare to use any force for fear of breaking the child's arms. The child's whole body felt light and fluttery.
He didn't even have time to sigh, and quickly said, "Don't worry, uncle will definitely make the decision for you."
He had no choice but to take charge, as the child came up and kowtowed to him. The cadres of the commune were all watching.
Zhou Xian looked at Yang Hongmei, feeling a little surprised. When she entered the door just now, she told Hongmei that if she gave her a look, she would start crying and repeat what she had said in the commune.
Unexpectedly, Hongmei also showed her ability. If Captain Wu doesn't uphold justice now, he will have no chance of continuing to be the captain.
Zhou Xian did not sympathize with him. The team leader still had a lot of power in the team. If he was willing to take care of it, things would not have turned out like this.
She didn't believe that the captain really didn't know Hongmei's situation in the brigade.
The persecution of women and children is not entirely the responsibility of the Women's Federation director. In this situation, if the team leader wants to take care of it, his words will definitely be more effective than those of the Women's Federation director.
Hongmei is a smart kid though. She has not lived in vain and finally learned to open her mouth.
If you have any grievances, just speak out. Although everyone knows something about the Yang family, it is mainly the propaganda of the Yang family. Some people also believe that Yang Hongmei is lazy and greedy, and spent all her father's compensation money. It is not that the Yang family did not make new clothes for her, but that Yang Hongmei herself is not clean and wastes things.
For such people, explanations are of no use.
Even if someone knew the truth, who would offend the Yang family for her?
No one helped her, and she didn't say anything. Over time, she had no right to speak up.
Now that this incident has been exposed, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, it’s going to become a big deal.
They directly exposed the matter of the two Yang brothers misappropriating the compensation money for their deceased brother, and also abused Yang Hongmei, spending her father's compensation money but saying it was a loan to her, and asked her to pay it back later.
Anyone with a conscience couldn't stand it. Those who were watching the fun outside used to talk behind the Yang family's back, but now they point fingers directly at the Yang family in person.
"Captain Wu, to be honest, I'm still a little worried about letting you handle this matter. After all, you didn't care about it before. Now that you say this, I don't know if you are just trying to please me." Zhou Xian looked at Captain Wu and said expressionlessly.
Zhou Xian turned around and looked at the two militia comrades. "Comrades, take Yang Lianwen away. Go back and ask him if there is anything else besides embezzling the compensation money of Comrade Yang Liansheng."
All the questions that needed to be asked were asked, and Zhou Xian also made a record, which he would show to his leader after returning.
Not to mention that so many people heard it with their own ears, the Yang family also admitted it themselves.
The militia comrade nodded to Zhou Xian. They were originally assigned by Secretary He to arrest people, so they didn't waste any time and walked over directly, holding down Yang Lianwen's arms on the left and right.
Yang Lianwen was also panicked. His sister-in-law only said that someone was looking for him, but did not say that they were there to arrest him. He struggled hard to break free from his militia comrades and ran towards the door. Before he had taken two steps, he felt a pain in his waist and flew out.
He rolled on the ground for several times before he stopped, but the pain in his body was so severe that he couldn't get up. The militia comrades rushed over and held him down, and tied him up tightly with the rope they brought.
When Old Lady Yang saw this, she felt extremely distressed. She wailed and rushed over immediately, "My son."
"Old lady, there was a female educated youth in Taohua Brigade who framed someone. When she was arrested, a male educated youth who liked her resisted the militia for her. Now both of them are in a labor camp. Do you want to accompany your son to the labor camp as well?"
Old Mrs. Yang seemed to be strangled by someone. Her voice stopped abruptly and she couldn't stop or move forward.
Although she loved the third child the most, she couldn't bear the hardship of being sent to a labor camp, and she stood there in a daze for a while.
The militia comrade pulled Yang Lianwen and asked him to stand up. "Behave yourself. If you dare to run, don't blame us for being rude."
Yang Lianwen still hasn't recovered. He doesn't understand why he flew out inexplicably just now.
Only other people saw clearly that when Yang Lianwen was running, he passed by Zhou Xian and was kicked away by her.
This female secretary is truly amazing.
Li Chunliu was afraid of being implicated, so she didn't dare to say a word. She watched her man being taken out of the yard by the militia, and she shrank her neck and hid away, fearing that she would be implicated.
"By the way, where is Comrade Yang Lianwu's salary?" Zhou Xian was about to step out of the courtyard when he suddenly turned around and asked.
"What do you want to do?" Yang Lianwu's wife Zhang Xiaohuan. He looked at Zhou Xian with a wary look.
"Have you given it to Hongmei in these years?"
"Why should I give her the money my man earns?" Zhang Xiaohuan said unconvinced.
"Officer Li, militia comrades, did you hear that?"
"I heard it. I went back and told my uncle that this man took the job that my brother risked his life for, but he didn't give a penny of his salary to my niece. Why did he give him this job? Such a person is not worthy of working in the factory and should be fired."
"You can't fire him. You can't fire him." Old Mrs. Yang became anxious and said quickly.
It's not easy to have a worker at home.
The third brother has been arrested. If the eldest brother loses his job, the family will break up.
"Who do you think your uncle is? He can be fired just like that. Could he still be the factory director?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family looked at Director Li with a bad look.
"Her uncle is Secretary He of our commune." Wu Guoxing said with a dead heart.
Officer Li naturally glared back, "I think not only should he be fired, but all of you should be sent to labor camps. You are going too far, taking advantage of others and eating and taking things. You really have no shame at all."
When the Yang family heard that Secretary Li’s uncle was Secretary He, they immediately became timid.
Old Lady Yang tried to struggle desperately, "Comrade, we can discuss it. It's just about studying. We'll pay compensation... Hongmei can go to school. Is that okay with you?"
"Don't you have no money? So, should Hongmei borrow from her uncle who is a worker, or from her third uncle who has built a new house?" Director Li looked at the old lady in a sarcastic tone and said.
"Yes, there is still some money left from the second brother's compensation, which is enough for Hongmei to go to school. If all else fails, his uncle still gets a salary. That was earned by Hongmei's father with his life, so it is only right that he should support Hongmei's schooling." Old man Yang said quickly.
Although I am reluctant to spend the money, compared with the boss's future, a little money is nothing.
"Does Hongmei still live here?" Zhou Xian said, pointing at the woodshed.
"How can that be possible? Let Hongmei squeeze in with the girl from the third brother's family. Hongmei, move your things to Hongya's room." Old man Yang said to Hongmei, looking at her with a warning look, indicating that she should quit while she was ahead.
Yang Hongmei has been reborn into another world, so how could she not know the character of her family members?
Her grandfather usually let her grandmother make the decisions on everything, but he had the final say on major matters.
The old man values his eldest son the most, and the old woman loves her youngest son the most. The job was almost taken away by the third uncle, but in the end it was the old man who gave the job to the eldest uncle with just one word.
She had already gone to the commune to complain, and if she was threatened by this old man again, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain? Facing the threatening gaze of Old Man Yang, Yang Hongmei shook her head and said, "Grandpa, I'd better sleep here. Sister Hongya always says that I stink, and if I sleep with her, she'll beat me to death if she finds out."
Old man Yang was so angry that he gasped, but he didn't dare to get angry in front of so many people. His face just became even gloomier.
"Why are you dawdling? There are so many rooms in your house, can't you vacate one? Let those girls and boys squeeze in. After all, that house was bought with Hongmei's father's life, what's wrong with her living in one room?" Captain Wu just wanted to send Zhou Xian and Li Lingling away quickly.
Old Lady Yang naturally didn't want to let her grandson suffer, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "Old Third's family, pack up your girl's things and go squeeze in with the old family's girl."
Li Chunliu moved her mouth, but after being glared at by her mother-in-law, she had no choice but to go pack up her things.
Hongmei carried her quilt to the new room.
Yang Hongya was the only girl in the third room, so she lived alone. The room was very well kept, as she had never lived in a house like this before.
Seeing that it was getting late, when Zhou Xian and the others proposed to leave, the Yang family was obviously relieved.
Although they were reluctant to let the third brother go, they also didn't want to go to labor camp with him.
Besides, the boss is still in the commune, so they still have hope.
Naturally, Zhou Xian had no intention of telling them that the head of the Yang family had been arrested by Director Ji and his men.
"Captain Wu, that's all for today. I'd like to trouble you and the Women's Federation to keep an eye on Hongmei. Don't wait for me and Officer Li to leave the team and go back to your old ways. Don't do anything that deceives yourself. This matter isn't over yet, and Secretary He is also waiting for the results. We will report truthfully."
"Hey, okay, no problem. Hongmei is the child of a martyr, we will definitely take good care of her." Wu Guoxing now just wanted to send them away as soon as possible.
Yang Hongmei also needs to be looked after, and Secretary He knows about it. If he doesn't do anything, he can forget about being the team leader.
Zhou Xian just listened to this casually. If he really had something to do, he wouldn't have taken care of it now.
She added, "We'll come back tomorrow."
"Come again?" When Old Lady Yang heard that they were coming again, she couldn't help but raise her voice.
Wu Guoxing turned around and glared at her.
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Of course I have to come. The matter of misappropriating my brother's pension has not been resolved yet, and the work matter also needs to be dealt with. If it goes on like this, people will take it for granted. By the way, the director of the Women's Federation of our commune will also come tomorrow."
Having said that, Zhou Xian took Secretary Li back.
Because they wanted to take Yang Lianwen with them, they did not ride bicycles, but walked back with the two militia comrades, pushing their bicycles.
Yang Lianwen was not a tough guy. Zhou Xian gave the bicycle to Secretary Li and asked her to help push it. She picked up a small branch from the roadside and poked the place on Yang Lianwen's body where she kicked her.
Whatever she asked, Yang Lianwen answered.
Li Lingling was so angry that she wanted to kick him. She pointed at Yang Lianwen and said angrily, "You are such a bastard. You bully a little girl like this."
She must have a good talk with her uncle when she returns, and also fire Yang Lianwu, as such a person is not fit to be a worker.
Li Lingling couldn't help but start to worry, "If we just leave like this, will they really not bully Hongmei? Or we can go back and bring her back. She can live in my house first."
"Not yet."
"Hongmei doesn't even have a change of clothes, and they didn't even mention it just now. Can we take care of her for a while, but can we take care of her forever?" Li Lingling became more and more worried.
"That's why I asked their captain to keep an eye on him. The Yang family doesn't dare to make Captain Wu angry." Zhou Xian said.
"What if they beat Hongmei up behind closed doors and told her not to tell anyone? Even the captain wouldn't be able to do anything. Can she resist an entire family by herself?"
Li Lingling paused for a moment, "Is Hongmei getting beaten now?"
"No." Zhou Xian shook his head. Before leaving, Zhou Xian said that he would go there tomorrow, and they had just arrested someone, so the Yang family did not dare to take action against Hong Mei for the time being.
But there will probably be a lot of cursing or indirect criticism.
Zhou Xian didn't tell Secretary Li about these things. She moved quickly so that she could go back and reunite with Director Ji and the others.
She recorded what happened in the Yanghua Brigade in a notebook, as well as everything that Yang Lianwen knew, and gave the notebook directly to Director Ji.
Those were recorded exactly as they were, without a single word of falsehood.
Director Ji was so angry that he slapped the table.
"These bastards."
He not only tramples on his own brother's life but also abuses someone else's daughter. He is simply not a human being.
"Director Ji, we really couldn't stand it at the time, so I and Officer Li asked their team leader to be a witness, and they vacated a room for Hongmei, and the family also agreed to pay for Hongmei's schooling."
Secretary Li also nodded. After all, she had done something practical today. She also knew that Director Ji often said that she was just there to do nothing, and she felt bad about it, but she just didn't show it.
But this time it was different, she really helped.
