Chapter 51 One Thousand Business Points
Hearing what the old lady muttered, it was obvious that she was still not convinced.
It should be said that if the Women's Federation had not arrested someone, this family would not be so honest now.
Director Ji slapped the table, pointed at Old Lady Yang and said angrily, "Is this your excuse for abusing your granddaughter? I think you, an old lady, have very serious old-society ideas. You should be sent to a labor camp to receive new-society ideological education."
As she spoke, she looked at Wu Guoxing again, her tone naturally not very good, "Captain Wu, you really concealed it very well. Otherwise, if our Women's Federation hadn't come to arrest a typical case, we wouldn't know who to arrest."
Old Mrs. Yang didn't dare to say anything and stood aside with a shameful look on her face.
"The two brothers said that this brick house of your family was built after you received the compensation from Comrade Yang Liansheng?" Director Ji continued to ask.
"Director Ji, we built this brick house ourselves." Zhang Xiaohuan still spoke stubbornly.
Director Ji glanced at him and said, "Why, do I look like a fool? I can just make up a random excuse to get away with it? You don't know whether you built it yourself or not."
Seeing that she still looked unconvinced, Director Ji said directly, "If you still feel unconvinced, let's go to the county public security bureau and have a good talk with them. Let the public security comrades investigate the matter of embezzling the martyrs' compensation."
Captain Wu struggled for a while, but still said, "Director Ji, this is not going to be a good thing if it gets out of hand."
"I have a clear conscience, what should I be afraid of? What I should be afraid of is the people who have done something wrong. Did Hongmei really spend all the compensation money?"
Old Lady Yang wanted to say there was no more left, but remembering what the old man had said in front of the cadre, she could only say, "There are still some left."
Director Ji nodded and said, "I was there when you were given the compensation. Since you don't want to support Hongmei, it should be divided into two parts. Half should be given to you and your wife, and the other half should be given to Hongmei."
"How can that be? That was earned at the cost of my son's life." Old Mrs. Yang suddenly became anxious.
"You also know that it was your son's life in exchange, and you treat your son's daughter like this. This is his only daughter. You old lady, don't you check your conscience to see if it was eaten by dogs? That is the compensation given by the commune to the martyrs. You are the parents of Comrade Yang Liansheng, you have it, and Hongmei, as the child of the martyr, should also have it. No one can give her share away."
"What are you doing? Go give money to Hongmei." Captain Wu glared at them.
He was extremely anxious at the moment. He wanted to send him to labor camp and report to the police. After the commotion caused by the Women's Federation last time, he didn't think Director Ji was joking.
The situation got out of hand. Apart from anything else, it was because he didn't do his job as the team leader well.
It has come to this, and he doesn't understand why the Yang family is still holding on. Do they think that they can get rid of this matter by continuing to make a fuss?
Old Mrs. Yang didn't want to go, and other family members wanted to object, but with the pressure from Director Ji, they made it clear that the second son had exchanged his life for the money, and so the parents and daughters could get it, but the brothers were not eligible to get it.
It was such a large sum of money that Old Lady Yang was reluctant to part with it. She could only look at the silent old man. Old Man Yang took two puffs of his pipe and then said, "Go get the money."
Old man Yang is open-minded. In the second son's family, Hongmei is the only girl left. She will have to rely on her family when the time comes. The old woman and her friends had indeed gone too far before. After the people from the commune left, they would ask the women in the family to coax them and ask them to release the eldest and third sons, and then they would ask them to hand over the money obediently. In this way, even the cadres of the commune would not be able to say anything to them.
Now that the secretary of the commune knows about it, we don't want to make a big fuss. At most, we can just spend some money to support her, and when she gets old enough to get married, we can get some dowry in return.
Old Mrs. Yang didn't understand what her old man was thinking, but since he had asked, she reluctantly gave the money to Yang Hongmei.
The money was counted in front of everyone. After Director Ji confirmed that it was half of the compensation, he looked at Zhang Xiaohuan.
This look from her gave Zhang Xiaohuan a bad feeling instantly.
Sure enough, Director Ji spoke.
"Yang Lianwu's job is the compensation given by the commune to Comrade Yang Liansheng's wife and children. Since this job has been given to him, I think your family will also take over the task of taking care of Hongmei. I want to ask, how have you done it over the years?"
"Director Ji, you know, my husband has always lived in the factory dormitory and only comes back during holidays. He may not know much about things at home." Zhang Xiaohuan smiled embarrassedly.
"I didn't ask if your husband knew. I was asking you. He works in the commune, but you are at home. Your daughter and son are in school, but Hongmei is not. You don't know either." Director Ji was not as patient with Zhang Xiaohuan as he was with the old couple of the Yang family.
"Hongmei herself doesn't want to go to school. How can I force her to go?" Zhang Xiaohuan naturally refused to admit it.
Director Ji sneered and thought that they were indeed a couple, as they could have two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed.
"Your old lady said that she has no money and can't afford to send Hongmei to school. You said before that Hongmei has nothing to do with you, so why should you use your hard-earned money to send her to school? Now you change your words and say that Hongmei herself doesn't want to go to school. Why hasn't anyone asked Hongmei what she wants?"
Zhang Xiaohuan lowered her head and dared not say anything else. She understood the principle that the more she talked, the more mistakes she made.
But she didn't say anything, and Director Ji was waiting for her answer, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Director Ji, this is all a misunderstanding, we..."
"Okay, stop talking so much. This is your man's salary for the past two years. I can find evidence here." Director Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
The reason why we treated the old couple of the Yang family a little harshly was because they were the parents of Comrade Yang Liansheng. For Comrade Yang's sake, we gave them some respect and didn't make things too embarrassing. Otherwise, it would have been much easier if we had arrested them all.
She was also the director of the Women's Federation of the factory, so it was easy for her to get information about Yang Lianwu's salary for the past two years.
During this period, he even got a salary increase.
Old Mrs. Yang is illiterate, but she knows numbers related to money.
As time went on, the boss's salary obviously increased.
The boss gave her a formal job. Since the family was not divided, all the 20-plus yuan salary that the eldest daughter earned since she started working was given to her. Until now, she has been given more than 20 yuan.
It turned out that he had even had a salary increase, but she had no idea about it, and the extra money went into his family's pocket.
Old Mrs. Yang was just having trouble venting her anger when the fact that Yang Lianwu had secretly hidden his salary was exposed, which immediately made her furious.
But now that the eldest brother was not around, the anger naturally went to the eldest brother's wife. She slapped Zhang Xiaohuan in the face and said, "You conscienceless thing, you said at the beginning that as long as I gave you the job of the second brother, you would give your salary to me in the future. It turns out that you secretly hid the money. It must be you who instigated the eldest brother. I will beat you to death."
As she said that, Old Lady Yang took off her shoes and hit Zhang Xiaohuan.
Even Li Chunliu felt unbalanced. They were originally dissatisfied with giving the job to the eldest brother. If their wages had not been turned over to the public, they would have quit long ago.
But now that he knew that his eldest brother had actually left money for his small family, Li Chunliu also began to blame the first wife.
Being beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law was fine, but the third wife was nothing and dared to criticize her. Zhang Xiaohuan was immediately unhappy. After avoiding the shoe soles of Old Lady Yang, she scolded back, "Bullshit, don't think I don't know that I have compensated your third wife privately. You are not happy even after eating and taking, what a shameless thing."
I saw the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law all starting to quarrel, blaming each other, pulling each other's hair, scratching each other's faces, and suddenly they were fighting in a ball.
Captain Wu tried to persuade them, but no one listened to him.
"Director Ji, look at this..."
Director Ji felt that these people deserved to be beaten, and everyone in the family except Hongmei should be beaten.
But after all, we came to talk about something, not to watch the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight.
"Have you had enough of the fuss?"
The Yang family finally quieted down.
However, the fact that Yang Lianwu left money for his own family still made others feel uncomfortable.
Director Ji also said directly that if he did not make up for the money given to Hongmei over the years, he would sue him for embezzling his brothers' compensation and bullying the children of martyrs.
Labor reform is also sentenced according to the circumstances. If the money can be compensated, the sentence will naturally be lighter. If it cannot be compensated, the sentence will be heavier.
Some people who behave well can still be released.
Director Ji made the situation clear to the Yang family.
The severity of the sentences given to Yang Lianwu and Yang Lianwen was secondary. The main thing was to get back what they had taken away. They had no control over how old man Yang and his men wanted to subsidize their two sons, but they had to intervene if a group of people teamed up to bully Hongmei.
The job was originally compensation given to Hongmei and her daughter by the commune. Yang Lianwu took the job but turned a blind eye to Yang Hongmei's life. He can be fully held responsible.
Such a person should not have stayed in the factory in the first place. He will not have an easy time after being caught this time.
Old man Yang loved his eldest son, so he naturally felt sorry for him. He immediately asked Captain Wu to be a witness and calculate the money that should have been given to Hongmei over the years and compensate her in one lump sum.
Looking at the huge sum of money, Old Lady Yang's heart was bleeding.
But for the third child, I gritted my teeth and took it out.
Director Ji and Wu Guoxing counted the money respectively, and then said, "Yang Lianwu definitely can't continue to work in this job. We will reserve this position for Hongmei, and when she reaches the age, she will go to work in the factory directly. If she doesn't want to, this job will be scrapped."
"Captain Wu, I see your brigade has a primary school, so please arrange for Hongmei's enrollment as soon as possible, so as not to delay her education."
"Okay, I'll let Hongmei go to school tomorrow." Wu Guoxing nodded quickly.
After handling the Yang family's affairs, Director Ji instructed the director of the Women's Federation of Yanghua Brigade to conduct ideological education for this family so that they would not make reactionary remarks again.
The director of the Women's Federation of Yanghua Brigade naturally did not dare to accept such a big hat, and repeatedly promised that she would visit the Yang family more often and give them ideological education.
According to what Director Ji and the others said, they would have to come over from time to time to check on how Yang Hongmei was doing, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
If he had found out that Yang Hongmei was not living well, he probably wouldn't have revealed it to her as easily as he did this time.
As soon as she went out, Yang Hongmei chased out with the compensation she had just received.
"What's wrong, Hongmei?"
"Director Ji, can I leave this money with you first?"
Yang Hongmei knows her family better than the people in the Women's Federation.
Just by looking at their eyes, I knew what they were planning.
In the past, she was dull and didn’t know how to speak, so she let them dump all the dirt and stinky things on her.
Although the money is in her hands now, they have to take it back within three days.
Since coercion or bribery failed, he might just turn around and secretly take it away when she was still there. If she refuses to admit it at that time, who will be able to make the decision for her?
Besides, this matter caused quite a stir. The team must know that she was holding so much money, and she would definitely be targeted.
In any case, she felt at ease leaving it to the commune Women's Federation for safekeeping.
However, it is not easy for the Women's Federation to get this money.
"How about this, Hongmei, this money belongs to you, how about you give it to your team leader for safekeeping?" Zhou Xian said.
Yang Hongmei was a little hesitant. Now, except for the secretary of the Women's Federation of the commune, she didn't trust anyone else.
"Captain Wu, let Hongmei keep this money with you. Please write a note for Hongmei, and our Women's Federation will also take a copy. Please keep an account. Hongmei's tuition and daily expenses will be deducted from this money. Please also write two copies of this bill, and send one copy to our Women's Federation every month for safekeeping. When Hongmei can make her own decision in the future, the money will be returned to her."
Captain Wu looked back at the shocked Yang family members who had followed him out, and nodded, "Okay."
Captain Wu would naturally be happy to be able to restore his image a little. The commune Women's Federation will be watching over it, and when the time comes, both sides will reconcile the accounts and there will be no need to worry about any problems.
The faces of the Yang family members changed. They didn't expect that this little girl Yang Hongmei could come up with such a trick, which directly cut off their possibility of getting the money back.
After seeing them off, Captain Wu sighed.
Turning back to see the Yang family members cursing, he was also furious, "How dare you curse at me? You don't even look at the shit you've done. It's a good thing your leaders didn't pursue it, otherwise you'd all be sent to labor camps and you'd behave yourself."
Zhang Xiaohuan had just lost a sum of money and was in a difficult situation. He was furious and wanted to start a quarrel with the man.
"What are you doing? You still want to make a scene? How about I invite Director Ji back and have her send someone to send you to labor camp? You are the most noisy one."
Zhang Xiaohuan glanced at the receding figure and didn't dare to say anything.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one thousand career points]
The system suddenly broadcast an announcement, which scared Zhou Xian.
"How come there are suddenly a thousand career points?"
"The host helped the heroine Yang Hongmei get rid of her wicked family ahead of time, which was identified as the host's achievement and converted into one thousand career points." The system explained.
Zhou Xian was surprised, "So Hongmei escaped the fate of being sucked dry by those wicked family members?"
"After system identification, it was not completely eliminated, but for the original text, the efforts of the host and related personnel were recognized by the heroine Yang Hongmei."
Zhou Xian couldn't help but sigh that the current laws are actually not perfect. Fortunately, the commune leaders were willing to take care of it. At that time, the commune was still very authoritative. When they said it was unreasonable, the Yang family did not dare to refute it.
After all, in the original text, there was actually no interference from them, and no one got the money for her. Hong Mei also worked very hard to get rid of those people and succeeded through her own efforts.
