Chapter 235 Expulsion
"Hey, isn't this Comrade Feng? What happened to your face? Did someone beat you up?"
Feng Li turned around and saw Song Lubai's gloating expression. He subconsciously looked around and, seeing no one else, asked with a stern face, "Did you hire someone to do this?"
Feng Li had seen Wei Yang once in the supply and marketing department's courtyard, and the more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that the person from yesterday was him.
After finding out who had caused Song Lubai's death today, he no longer dared to mess with her.
His biggest fear was that Song Lubai wouldn't let him go.
It wasn't dark yet, and the dormitory was only a few dozen meters away. There were people living all around, and someone could pass by at any time. Song Lubai wasn't afraid of Feng Li taking action, but she was always on guard against him.
"You've offended so many people, anyone could beat you up. If you don't accumulate good deeds, you'll suffer a lot of misfortunes. Comrade Feng, try to accumulate more good deeds for yourself in the future."
She walked around him, keeping an eye on his movements out of the corner of her eye.
Feng Li was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. Knowing that someone was backing Song Lubai, he naturally dared not make any rash moves.
The next morning, Ma Song, who was idly at home, was taken away.
Ma Song was arrested by people from the new office and dealt with together with the police. The relevant personnel not only came to the supply and marketing department, but also went to the police station to inquire about the situation.
This investigation uncovered those who had exonerated Ma Song, and like pulling up a radish, it brought out the mud, implicating several other people at once.
When Ma Song got into trouble, Feng Li hadn't joined the supply and marketing department yet, so his affairs naturally didn't involve Feng Li.
Although this matter did not involve Feng Li, Minister Zhou belittled the people in the new office during the meeting, saying that they were not doing their job properly, did not supervise the market, and were causing chaos and insecurity within the supply and marketing department, thus delaying their work.
Minister Zhou, with a stern expression, called Feng Li and the other male comrades who had been very active before to the stage, reprimanded them, and then made the decision to expel them.
These are temporary workers, unlike permanent employees with established positions. It is very easy to fire them, and this move is very popular.
Everyone felt gratified that Feng Li and his ilk were going to suffer.
Feng Li and his gang had been incredibly arrogant lately, but they lost their jobs after only a month or two of being in charge. They were unwilling to accept this and naturally wanted to defend themselves.
Feng Licai had been beaten before, and today he lost his job. He shouted angrily, "What did we do wrong? We were just following the orders of our superiors. It was Deputy Minister Lou who told us to do it. Why are we being fired!"
Lou Yuchun said righteously and sternly, "Nonsense! You people have always been lawless. Stop trying to drag me into this. You all know that my job has not been officially reinstated yet. Even if I give you an order, you will not listen to me."
Feng Li said angrily, "It was clearly you who said to target Wang Haiquan first!"
Lou Yuchun appeared calm, saying, "You need to provide evidence for what you say. This is utter nonsense."
The two were arguing, and Lou Yuchun seemed calm and collected, but few people believed him.
Why did Feng Li target him instead of others?
Since the merger of the two departments, tensions have been high between the two top leaders, and a fire even occurred in the department. Lou Yuchun then returned to the department in a rather ambiguous manner.
Everyone has their own standards, and most people wouldn't like the work atmosphere a while ago, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Now that Feng Lipan has implicated Lou Yuchun, everyone hopes that Minister Zhou can also deal with Lou Yuchun, but even after Feng Lipan and others were kicked out, Minister Zhou did nothing to Lou Yuchun.
Song Lubai was glad she had burned the documents.
She had originally planned to exchange that document with Lou Yuchun, but now she thinks it's fortunate that she didn't have time to do so.
The fire that broke out in the office earlier and the recent panic in the department are both Lou Yuchun's doing.
Regardless of whether the information was true or false, Minister Zhou was more disciplined in his work than Lou Yuchun.
After dealing with Feng Li and the others, Zhou instructed the department to immediately resume operations and ensure the supply of goods to the market…
By the time the meeting ended, it was completely dark.
As Song Lubai carried her lunchbox toward the dormitory, she saw Wei Yang waiting there in the courtyard for who knows how long.
"Why are you here at this hour? Haven't eaten yet? Come on, let's go back to the cafeteria and grab something to eat."
Wei Yang reached into his pocket for money, but Song Lubai glared at him.
"If I don't have enough money, I'll ask."
Although Wei Yang didn't pay, he still used his meat coupon to order stir-fried green beans with pork.
During the meal, Wei Yang said, "The letter of introduction has arrived. Let's go get our marriage certificate tomorrow morning, and I'll head back as soon as we get it."
He paused, then asked expectantly, his bright black eyes asking, "What do you think?"
Song Lubai said, "What's wrong with that? Didn't we already agree on it?"
There was a smile in his eyes, "I was afraid you'd change your mind."
Fearing she might change her mind, he left work early this afternoon and came as soon as he received the letter of introduction.
Song Lubai took a sip of vegetable soup and said softly, "Let's go to Director Wang's house later. Fang's family doesn't have much food right now. They were even robbed before. Could you dig a hole for her in the house? I'll buy her some eggs and food another day."
If good grain is unavailable, grade C grain can be purchased. She had already discussed this with Feng Ying, and if any stock was available, she would reserve it for her.
Wei Yang nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the guesthouse and get a room in a bit."
After finishing their meal, the two went off to get busy.
The ground in Yan Fang's house wasn't paved with bricks, so digging wasn't difficult. The hole Wei Yang dug was only a little over a meter deep, and the opening got bigger as you went down. The opening at the top was smaller than the only wardrobe in Yan Fang's house, but it was definitely enough to store some grain.
Wei Yang dug the soil, while Song Lubai and Yan Fang cleared the soil away.
Once the pit was dug, Yan Fang moved the small wardrobe on top, which completely blocked the opening.
Song Lubai put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't think this is safe either."
Wei Yang said, "I'll go dig another one in the yard, in the corner of the wall, and cover it with a pile of firewood."
Yan Fang said apologetically, "Thank you so much for your help."
Wei Yang said, "What trouble? It won't take much effort."
Wei Yang dug another hole in the corner of the wall, covered it with firewood, and no one could tell there was a hole underneath.
By the time they finished, the moon was high in the sky, and Wei Yang took Song Lubai back to her dormitory at three in the morning.
Song Lubai said, "Wait a minute, I forgot to give you the clothes that I asked Sister Yan Fang to make for you last time."
Sun Hong was already fast asleep. She yawned and opened the door after hearing the knock.
Song Lubai had already washed the clothes. The fabric felt soft to the touch, but the cut wasn't very crisp. However, it was very breathable to wear in the summer.
After taking the clothes, Wei Yang felt that having a partner was great; his partner was perfect in every way.
She's so good to him, he doesn't want her to suffer even the slightest hardship.
"We need to get our marriage certificate tomorrow, so I'd better hurry back to the guesthouse to rest..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Lubai was pulled close and hugged by him.
He was tall, and the top of her head brushed against his chin.
In the dead of night, with no one else around, Song Lubai boldly wrapped her arms around his waist.
She felt that his body temperature was unusually high, making her feel hot all over.
After a long pause, she heard him say, "Thank you."
Song Lubai said, "What's there to thank me for a piece of clothing?"
Wei Yang shook his head. "No, thank you for being willing to come with me."
