Sun Maodou scoffed dismissively.
"Relatives? Have you ever seen a relative bully their own people?"
Oh, so this is the family that was bullied by Sun Changsheng?
He asked curiously, "Did Sun Changsheng bully you?"
Sun Maodou waved his hand impatiently, "These are none of your business."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Just to remind you of something, it seems the brigade leader really did have affairs."
Lu Yuan's pupils dilated violently. What did he hear?
That's explosive!
"With whom?"
"I don't know. I overheard my parents talking about it before and they cursed at me. I don't know the specifics. I'm wondering if he'll be the one this time, since he has a history of doing this."
Lu Yuan pretended to voice his doubts, "But didn't the brigade leader happen to be out of the village that day, instead going to the commune?"
Sun Maodou snorted, "Who knows if he went to the commune after you yelled at him?"
Wow, this person actually thinks the same way he does.
Speaking of Lu Yuan's outburst back then, Sun Maodou felt a bit disappointed.
"Why were you yelling like that? Didn't you know you were alerting them? If it were me, I would have sneaked down and caught them red-handed."
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. "You think I didn't want to? But Grandpa Liu bumped into him, and they wanted to kill him to cover it up. What could I do?"
Sun Maodou choked for a moment before finally saying, "Fine, I've told you everything I wanted to tell you. Whether you want to tell the police or not is up to you."
Lu Yuan said irritably, "You don't dare to tell the police yourself, so you order me to do it. I'm not going to fall for your tricks."
"you……"
Sun Maodou was furious; it turned out that all his words had been for nothing.
"You think your stepmother reported you that day because she wanted to get rid of you? Let me tell you, no, it wasn't. It was the brigade leader who wanted to get rid of you. He probably wanted to kill you because you caught him cheating on his wife."
Tsk, I have to say this guy has a jinx; everything he says comes true.
"I'm not going to listen to your nonsense, I'm leaving."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, opened the door decisively, and walked out.
call--
The air outside is so fresh.
He came back to life.
When Sun Maodou saw that he had really left, she was so angry that she took off her smelly shoe and threw it at his back.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Lu Yuan executed a backflip kick, sending the smelly shoe flying back the way it came.
"Ouch--"
Sun Maodou was hit by the shoe that was kicked back and cried out in surprise.
Lu Yuan whistled smugly as he left.
Sun Maodou was still standing there, stunned.
He was still savoring how cool that roundhouse kick was.
It wasn't until the figure disappeared that I realized what had happened.
When did Lu Yuan become so skilled?
Just when Sun Maodou thought Lu Yuan hadn't listened to him and cursed him for being useless countless times, the Revolutionary Committee people came to Changhe Brigade again early the next morning.
Four people came this time, riding bicycles. They were all unfamiliar faces; the three who came last time were not among them.
The four men, acting aggressively, entered the village and asked everyone they met, "Where does Brigade Leader Sun Changsheng live?"
They happened to run into Sun Maodou, who was on his way to the commune to take care of Grandpa Liu.
He asked cautiously, "Gentlemen, is this a business meeting with our captain?"
The leader glanced at him and said sternly, "We are from the Revolutionary Committee. We received a report from the masses that your brigade leader, Sun Changsheng, is hiding contraband. We are here to investigate. Please lead the way, comrade."
Sun Maodou's eyes widened, he swallowed hard, and he was incredibly excited.
Completely forgetting that he still had to go to the commune to exchange for He Shenghua's task, he raised his arm and waved it.
"Leaders, please follow me. I will take you to the brigade leader's house."
As he spoke, he started running ahead, and in one go he darted quite a distance.
"Ah, comrade..."
The Revolutionary Committee members wanted to suggest that he sit on the back of the bicycle, but seeing that he had already run far away, they had to swallow their words.
"Alright, let's hurry up and catch up."
The four of them pedaled hard on their bicycles to chase after him, but they still found it a bit strenuous.
Sun Maodou slowed his brisk pace and even had time to talk to a few people.
"Leaders, the brigade leader's house might really contain contraband. You'd better search it thoroughly."
Remembering the jokes everyone made when the Revolutionary Committee searched Lu Yuan's house last time, saying they would dig up the walls, dig up the ground, and demolish the house, he didn't forget to remind them.
"Leaders, the captain may have hidden the contraband quite well, perhaps in a hole in the wall or underground. You'd better search carefully."
The four men exchanged glances. Remembering the tip-off letter that warned them to search underground, they realized that the young man in front of them was probably the one who had reported them; otherwise, he wouldn't have been waiting for them at the village entrance so early in the morning.
Sun Maodou was unaware that these people had mistaken him for the one who had reported him, and they were still eagerly leading the way, their excitement evident in their expressions.
When they encountered villagers on the road, they even took it upon themselves to act as loudspeakers.
"These are leaders from the Revolutionary Committee. They heard that the brigade leader's family was hiding contraband, so they came to search their home."
The villagers spread the word, inviting others to come and see the spectacle.
The workers who were supposed to go to work stopped going and instead went to the team leader's house.
The abandoned house was in a remote location, so the people who came to repair it didn't hear the news and just kept working hard to continue building the house.
The villagers spread the gossip, and the next person to hear it was, "The brigade leader was arrested by the Revolutionary Committee for hoarding contraband."
Although this statement is based on a misconception, the final result is correct.
The Revolutionary Committee members did indeed dig up forbidden items from the brigade leader's house—a string of Buddhist beads, a gilded Buddha statue, and an English book that no one could understand.
The items were wrapped in a thick layer of oil paper and buried under the firewood stack behind the brigade leader's house.
There was a stack of firewood on top, hidden quite well.
Sun Maodou was so excited that he jumped up and down.
Holy crap, they actually found something.
He was going to find Lu Yuan and tell him the good news.
To his surprise, when he turned around, he saw him standing behind him with his new wife.
Other members of the Lu family were also present.
He originally wanted to greet Lu Yuan, but when he saw Zhang Yuping's ashen face, he couldn't help but take a second look.
Could it be that he has been traumatized by the people in the Revolutionary Committee?
He was in a good mood right now and even had the energy to comfort people.
"Aunt Lu, don't be afraid, the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee are not here to arrest you this time."
Hearing this, Sun Changsheng, who was being held by the Revolutionary Committee, also turned to look at Zhang Yuping.
Zhang Yuping didn't want the Revolutionary Committee members to notice her, so she quickly lowered her head.
Seeing this, Sun Changsheng assumed she had noticed his guilty conscience. He seemed to instantly understand something, and his gaze towards Zhang Yuping turned venomous.
Yes, I gave this thing to that bitch, but I couldn't find it last time. This time, I found it at her house.
So it was this bitch who was messing with him.
Very good!
He spent his days hunting geese, only to have his eyes pecked by one. Who would have thought that even Sun Changsheng could misjudge someone?
Since that's the case, then don't blame him.
"Young lady, look at the brigade leader, why is he looking at you with such hatred?"
Lu Yuan's deep voice rang in her ears, and Zhang Yuping suddenly looked up, only to meet Sun Changsheng's vicious gaze.
