"You're talking nonsense," Lin Xiaofang shrieked.
"Captain, this man is a scoundrel. He's deliberately trying to ruin my reputation so I'll marry him. Don't be fooled by him."
"Pah! I may be a little rascal, but I wouldn't even look at a lazy, good-for-nothing woman like you. You're useless at work, you can't even get into a rabbit farm or a pig farm, and you don't get paid. What would I do with you?"
"You... someone like you wants to marry a girl with a salary? You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. You're dirty, smelly, and ugly, just like manure in a pigsty."
"You bitch, how dare you talk to me like that..."
Enraged, the scoundrel got up from the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to go up and beat someone up.
Lu Yuan stood aside, but he didn't move. After the little rascal grabbed the other person's hair and slapped him twice, and then kicked him twice, he slowly walked behind the little rascal and kicked him in the butt.
"You've really grown bold, daring to hit people even with the captain here."
His kick was quite powerful, and the little rascal fell forward, landing squarely on top of Lin Xiaofang.
"Aaaaaahh ...
Lin Xiaofang let out a piercing scream.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh, my ears are going to go deaf from all this noise."
The little rascal had a cushion of flesh, so he didn't get hurt when he fell. Realizing that he was now on top of someone, he deliberately didn't get up for a long time.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way right now."
Lin Xiaofang scratched and clawed.
"Hiss~"
The scoundrel, caught off guard, had his face scratched and gasped in shock.
"Smack..."
The little rascal slapped her again before she finally managed to get up, using both her hands and feet to support herself on her high, round buttocks.
"Ahhhhh..."
Lin Xiaofang was really going crazy; this little scoundrel was actually taking advantage of her.
But she couldn't say it yet. If she said that the other party had acted like a scoundrel towards her, her reputation would be ruined, and she might have no choice but to marry this scoundrel.
She swallowed her anger and burst into tears of frustration.
But she didn't consider that in front of so many people, wouldn't they feel uncomfortable if she didn't speak up? It was purely self-deception.
"Alright, all of you, be quiet."
Lu Guoan shouted sternly, glanced at Lu Yuan who had just kicked someone and was standing aside watching the show, coughed lightly, and got back to the main topic.
“If you don’t want to go to the commune police station, then tell me honestly what happened today.”
The rascal hurriedly said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Lin Xiaofang asked me to come. She said that Director He and his wife, relying on being leaders of the rabbit farm, often steal rabbits and pocket a lot of benefits for themselves. She asked me to come and supervise them on behalf of the commune members."
“I’m not willing to do this kind of thing unless there’s something in it for me. But I came because she agreed to let me touch her breasts.”
"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Xiaofang shouted again.
"Quiet down!" Lu Guoan shouted, worried that the two would start fighting again like before.
“Wang Zhiqing and Xu Zhiqing, you two tell me what happened.”
These two were among the same batch of educated youth who went to the countryside with Lin Xiaofang and Yu Shaoheng. They were both quite young, around eighteen or nineteen years old.
Of the other educated youth who came in the same batch, Yu Shaoheng had already been elected as the manager of a pig farm, and Xiao Fan had even gone to the county to become the county magistrate's secretary. The two of them felt a little resentful.
I think they are capable people, and they are also high school graduates, so why don't they get any of the good things?
Lin Xiaofang has been saying to them lately that He Shenghua and Hong Xia shouldn't be occupying the two leadership positions at the rabbit farm. She also said that Hong Xia is pregnant and can't be the deputy director, so she should step down and let the two of them be the best candidates.
The two of them already felt that they shouldn't be toiling in the fields for a living every day, and after Lin Xiaofang said that, they felt that it made perfect sense.
At her urging, the two of them joined in causing trouble today.
“Captain, I heard from Lin, a educated youth, that Director He and his wife stole rabbits from the farm. She wanted to come and find out the truth, so we came along,” Wang said.
“Yes, Captain, we didn’t do anything after we arrived. We didn’t interrupt when Lin, the educated youth, questioned Deputy Director Hong,” Xu, the educated youth, added.
"Did you two see clearly how Deputy Director Hong fell?" Lu Guoan asked.
The two nodded in unison.
“I saw it clearly; it was Lin, the educated youth, who deliberately pushed hard,” Xu, the educated youth, said.
"Yes, Lin Zhiqing deliberately said that Deputy Director Hong embezzled public funds from the rabbit farm and that they stole rabbits, which angered Deputy Director Hong. He then chased her away, and she took the opportunity to push him down."
"I didn't! You're all slandering me, you're all traitors!" Lin Xiaofang said angrily.
The matter is clear now; no one can testify for her anymore, and there's no point in trying to deny it.
Lu Guoan asked He Shenghua, "Director He, how do you plan to handle this matter today?"
He Shenghua knew that the brigade cadres definitely didn't want to cause trouble at the commune, and he also knew that everyone had been working hard all year to be recognized as advanced.
He didn't want the brigade to lose its eligibility for advanced unit evaluation because of him and his wife.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Captain, we don't have to go to the commune police station, but I want them to apologize to my wife and compensate her for her medicine and nutritional expenses. In addition, the brigade should also punish them."
Lu Guoan and the other brigade cadres breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that He Shenghua would prioritize the overall situation.
“Okay!” Lu Guoan readily agreed.
Then he looked at the two male educated youths and the little rascal, "The three of you go and apologize to Deputy Director Hong, and each of you pay five yuan in compensation for nutrition. Then go to the cowshed and work for a week."
"As for Lin, he had to write a 500-word self-criticism, read it aloud on the radio, and broadcast it to Deputy Director Hong to apologize. He also had to pay 20 yuan in medical and nutritional expenses."
"In addition, you will also have to work in the cowshed, so you will clean the cowshed for a month."
"Captain, I'm not convinced..." Lin Xiaofang still tried to struggle.
"If you're not happy, go to the commune police station and go directly to the farm for reform."
Lin Xiaofang was speechless with anger, stamping her feet in frustration. She had truly lost both her wife and her army.
She burst into tears, sobbing, "Waaah, you're all bullying me, you're all bullying me!"
Nobody paid any attention to her.
Lu Guoan asked He Shenghua, "Director He, are you satisfied with this outcome?"
He Shenghua smiled, "The captain's handling of the matter was naturally fair and just, and I have no complaints."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Captain, I have something else to say."
"Go on," Lu Guoan said, frowning slightly.
"Well, my wife is pregnant now and it's not suitable for her to work at the rabbit farm. She can't stand the smell here and has severe morning sickness, so she wants to quit her job at the farm."
The morning sickness happened a few days ago, and it's completely gone since I took the medicine Wen Moxue gave me. However, I need a plausible reason to resign.
"What? Your wife wants to quit her job?"
Lu Guoan felt like he was hallucinating. How could anyone want to quit such a good job?
