"Oh, don't deny it? Who do you think you are? I wasn't brought up to be scared. I can easily control the wealth and glory of your previous life, the Zhou family's immense power, and the brigade commander and division commander of the army. How could I be afraid of the threat from a retired soldier like you?" Zhou Heng was disdainful in his heart, but his face was expressionless.
However, the group of children in the yard still put a lot of pressure on him. If it weren't for the lawless, arrogant and domineering mentality he developed in the past ten years of his life, he would almost be unable to suppress it.
"Shouldn't I be hostile to you? Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me in such an interrogative tone?"
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, what is your identity?"
☆
The two police officers had strange expressions on their faces. The younger one said, "His name is Zhou Heng. He works at the city's bearing factory. His uncle is the workshop director there."
Zhou Heng raised his chin slightly, looking superior.
Zhou Yan asked, "What about him?"
"Uh..." The young police officer hesitated, "He doesn't have a job at the moment."
"This uncle is so nice." Zhou Yan smiled.
Zhou Heng: "Of course my uncle is good. My uncle's family is simple, with three daughters and two sons. Except for two who are in school, they are all workers in the bearing factory."
Zhou Yan nodded. "So I said, your uncle is very good. His whole family has jobs, but you, his nephew, are the only one who doesn't have to go out to work at the age of twenty. No wonder your mother-in-law is worried that you can't support her and wants to abandon the quadruplets."
Zhou Heng heard his sarcasm, but also realized something belatedly. Before he could think about it, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walked in quickly. As he walked in quickly, he said, "Xiao Heng, have you found the child?"
☆
"Uncle, why are you here?" Zhou Heng saw the newcomer and instantly forgot his doubts. He looked at the people in the yard and said, "The child hasn't been found yet. These people said they didn't find the child and won't let us go in to search."
Public Security: Fuck, when did we say we were going to search?
The uncle looked surprised: "There are only three rooms, can't you see it at a glance?"
The young policeman breathed a sigh of relief, finally the older one was sensible.
But the 30-year-old police officer frowned and said, "We are just making routine inquiries. Even if we are police officers, we do not have the right to search other people's homes at will, let alone the families of martyrs living here. Not to mention that they are young soldiers who shed blood for our country and killed the enemy. I don't know what identity this director has to say to make such misleading remarks. But since you want us to search the homes of martyrs' families without any actual evidence and only based on hearsay, we have reason to suspect that you have other motives."
☆
"No, no." The uncle waved his hands in fear. "Comrades, you misunderstood. We were desperate and tried every possible means. We didn't even know this was the home of a martyr. We apologize. We won't search, not even if you're hiding a child."
"Search. Since this comrade is retreating to advance, he's certain we're hiding his child. I think it's best to search to prove our innocence." Zhou Yan glanced at the townspeople gathered behind his 'uncle'. "However, I hope it's two national police officers who will search personally. After all, we're not criminals, and we're not harboring enemies, so no one else needs to go in."
"Why?" Zhou Heng's temper immediately rose when he saw his uncle coming. "You are from the same town. What if you protect each other?"
Zhou Yan looked at the young man in front of him, who looked like a dandy, like a child who hadn't grown up. "Sheltering? If that's the case, then why don't we make a big fuss and invite the commune leaders over? The eleven of us have been living here since we retired from the army. This place was specially arranged for us by the state. We have nothing to fear from anyone.
Since these two people from the bearing factory are determined to think that we are hiding their child, then we should invite the police and commune leaders over."
☆
"Oh my god, who is this?" The onlookers, who had just arrived and were not aware of the situation, immediately asked those in front. Were they going to invite all the leaders of the newly established commune?
"I came here with the middle-aged man in the yard. He told me that these kids picked up their child?"
"Really? I live so close, how come I don't know about it?" asked an old lady.
"Aunt, don't you know?"
"What should I know?" the old lady was puzzled. "These children come out together every day and run around the yard a few times. When they run, the gate and other things are open. If there are children, how could I not know?"
"Ah, then why do the people from the city's bearing factory insist on saying that these kids picked up their child? And they even say they heard it from someone. Who did they hear that from?"
"Are they some kind of enemy agent? I heard these kids are all relatives of martyrs, and they themselves are orphans of the PLA who fought in the previous anti-Japanese operations. Enemy agents love to frame us soldiers."
"Yes, yes, yes. Someone go to the town government and call someone. These two people came here for no apparent reason. Maybe the two children in the police station are not theirs."
"Oh my god, the kids have been at the police station for three or four days now. I went to see them, and they're two little babies who look alike, no more than three or four months old. They're twins, but they don't look alike. Oh my god, are they really enemy spies?"
“…”
The onlookers outside the door were talking loudly and loudly, and it was hard for the people in the yard not to hear them. The more the uncle listened, the uglier his face became.
He had originally planned this public opinion campaign, hoping to use it to pressure Zhou Yan and, by the way, to get something to taint this innocent boy.
Anyway, even if they fail this time, once it happens for the first time, people's trust in their identity will be reduced, and it will be easy to deal with them next time.
But no matter how much he planned, he never expected that the group of old women in this commune would not follow the rules at all.
☆
Xiao Yu who was hiding underground: Oh, if you can follow the routine, won’t the power of my incense be used by hundreds of flowers?
Just now, his spiritual sense had sensed this middle-aged man from afar, all sorts of green tea and white lotus behavior among a group of aunties and aunties. He focused his consciousness and looked over. This bastard really hadn't held back his fart. His seemingly plausible words were actually hidden within his words.
Poor thing, he can't speak now. He wants to use money to bribe a few people to help him perform, but he has no money in his pocket.
After much thought, the only option was to add negative energy to the middle-aged man and increase his hostility.
When a person is full of anger, even if he tries to restrain his words, they will unconsciously be full of malice, making them particularly harsh to the ears. These old women in Huaguo Town, which had just been transformed into a commune, were all raised by their mothers-in-law, so they could all hear his words.
And now we have the current situation of singing a different tune.
