This not only infuriated Lu Guoqing, but also Zhang Yuping.
“Sun Changsheng, you heartless bastard, you forced me. Not only me, but your sister-in-law Wang Xiuli was also forced by you.”
"You're a lecherous old man. You took advantage of Sun Lao Er's drunkenness at his wedding and raped your sister-in-law, even getting her pregnant with your bastard child."
"Later, when Sun Lao Er found out about this, you lured the man up the mountain and killed him."
Zhang Yuping unleashed a torrent of rapid-fire attacks, leaving everyone utterly stunned.
Sun Changsheng's eyes were bloodshot. He got up from the ground, but his hands were tied behind his back and he couldn't move. He could only bend his head and thrust straight at her.
He knocked the person to the ground and started banging his head against the person's face repeatedly.
He's going to kill that bitch.
In no time, Zhang Yuping's face was covered in blood, and Sun Changsheng's forehead was also smeared with blood.
Director Qian hurriedly ordered people to separate the two.
Several people from the police station and the Revolutionary Committee rushed forward, and in a flurry of activity, they finally managed to pull Sun Changsheng away.
Zhang Yuping's face was covered in blood, and her original appearance was no longer recognizable.
The injury wasn't actually that serious; it was mostly blood from the nose and mouth.
Her hands were tied, so she couldn't wipe it off. She could only let it flow.
He cursed Sun Changsheng with foul language.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoqin and Lu Xiaojun burst into tears. Lu Xiaofang, feeling ashamed, didn't come out at all.
Lu Xiaoqin also felt ashamed and harbored some resentment towards Zhang Yuping, but seeing her in such a disheveled state made her feel sorry for her.
Unable to bear it any longer, she went forward to wipe her mother's face.
There were no towels or handkerchiefs, and using only their hands wouldn't do. So they turned around and stripped Lu Xiaojun of his clothes.
Lu Xiaojun ran home shirtless and yelled.
After Zhang Yuping had finished wiping her face, she asked about Lu Xiaofang.
Lu Xiaoqin said irritably, "She felt ashamed and didn't come."
In fact, Zhang Yuping had already guessed that was the reason, but she asked again out of sheer curiosity.
Knowing that her time was running out and that she might never be able to come back in this lifetime, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Xiaoqin, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to your father. From now on, you must take good care of yourself and Xiaojun. If you need anything, go to your older brother."
Over the past few days, she has come to understand that Lu Yuan has always been playing dumb to deceive others. On the surface, he seems lazy and incompetent, but in reality, he is more cunning than anyone else.
She had the foresight to evade her reports and plans, and she was also able to scheme against Sun Changsheng without anyone noticing. She was quite capable.
"Xiaofang, remember this: Lu Yuan will always be your and Xiaojun's older brother. Ask him for help when you need it. He might be more reliable than your father."
Finally, she leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "There's a rat hole in the west corner of Xiaojun's room. There are some of my belongings hidden inside. You should take them with you and Xiaojun to protect yourselves. Don't let anyone else know, including your father and sister."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he was grabbed by comrades from the police station and the Revolutionary Committee and shoved away.
Lu Xiaofang stood there stunned, tears streaming down her face.
Everyone pointed and whispered about her, shaking their heads and sighing.
Sun Changsheng and Zhang Yuping have been taken away again, and this time they probably won't be coming back.
As for the compensation the two men gave to Grandpa Sun, the police station handed it over to the brigade accountant.
Zhang Yong'an instructed Lu Guoqing and Sun Changsheng's wives to settle the medical expenses for Grandpa Liu's hospitalization, and then each family would receive 30 yuan and 20 jin of grain as compensation for Grandpa Liu, thus ending the matter.
In total, each family received 52.58 yuan in compensation.
However, Sun Changsheng was not only investigated because of Grandpa Liu's matter, but also involved in using his position as brigade leader to seek personal gain. All the valuables in his house were confiscated by the Revolutionary Committee, and even the bicycle that his youngest son later rode back was confiscated.
Where would we get the money?
Sun Changsheng's wife, Aunt Sun, had no choice but to go back to her parents' home to borrow money.
On the afternoon of the same day the two were taken away, people from the commune came again.
The leaders from the commune office came this time, and even the commune head came.
First, he used the incident involving Sun Changsheng and Zhang Yuping to educate all the members of the brigade, requiring the Changhe Brigade to study Quotations every day to improve their ideological awareness.
Next came the appointment of the battalion commander.
With Zhang Yong'an's recommendation and the help of Li Dezhu, Lu Qianjin's father-in-law, Lu Guoan became the brigade leader smoothly.
The villagers of Changhe Brigade have been incredibly excited these past two days.
As soon as it was mealtime, everyone would carry their big bowls and small stools to the threshing ground.
Judging by this setup, you'd think the village was going to show a movie.
It was really just a group of people getting together to chat about the gossip from the past few days.
It's always the same few people and the same few things, but everyone just keeps coming back and forth, enjoying it immensely.
Normally, the villagers gossip about everyone, but now that such a big thing has happened, it seems like they'll have plenty of fodder for conversation all year round.
"Do you think what Zhang Yuping said is true?"
"I guess so, otherwise why would the man surnamed Sun treat his nephew Sun Ziqiang so well?"
"That's right, he treats this nephew no differently than his own son."
"I used to think he was kind and righteous. His younger brother died, and he took care of his nephew like his own son. Who would have thought that he was his own son all along?"
"Hey, do you guys think Wang Xiuli was really forced?"
"Tsk, that's hard to say. If you really want to force her, why didn't she remarry after her husband died?"
"Oh, now that you mention it, it's true. Anyway, the son belongs to Boss Sun, so even if she remarries, she won't be afraid of no one taking care of the child. She's probably really in love with Boss Sun and can't bear to leave him."
"That damned Boss Sun is really living the life of a king. When he's not in a good mood with the women at home, he goes to the neighbor's. Every now and then he even eats some wild game in that abandoned house. He's living the life of the rich."
A group of grown men talked about this and were incredibly envious.
In return, he received glares and criticism from a group of older women.
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue were returning home from the abandoned house when they passed by the threshing ground. They saw men, women, and children from the whole village gathered there to eat and chat, which was nothing unusual for them.
However, the men who had been scolded called out to Lu Yuan in an attempt to distract the women.
“Ah Yuan, your stepmother has given your father such a huge cuckold's horns, she must be feeling terrible. You should try to talk to your father and help him to think more positively.”
Once someone started it, others joined in the commotion.
"I think we should let A-Yuan's father get his revenge. If someone else sleeps with his wife, he can sleep with someone else's wife too."
"Hahaha, that's a great idea, old rascal."
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at the group of people who had nothing better to do than chat and joke around.
They're actually trying to get attention from him. If you want to make fun of someone, go find his father. Why bother with him?
Since that's the case, then don't blame him for adding fuel to the fire.
"Uncles and elders, why are you still concerned about my father? If Sun Laoda can have an affair with my stepmother, who knows if he's not innocent with the other aunts and elders either? You should all go back and ask him."
