Qi Jingyan stood outside the Qiu family's courtyard wall, looking at the disgusting big-character posters on the wall, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He immediately ordered his men to tear down the posters intact, preserving the evidence and holding those responsible accountable to the end.
He wanted to see who dared to spread rumors and slander officers without any basis.
Qiu's parents never expected to see Qi Jingyan at home. The family was at a loss for a long time. Then mother Qiu quickly asked her youngest son to pour tea and her youngest daughter to light a fire and cook.
When Liu Yanyan's family received the news and hurried to the Qiu family, they happened to hear Qi Jingyan say that he would marry Qiu Xia at the beginning of the next year.
The Qiu family laughed so hard that they wiped their tears and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Liu Yanyan rushed in in a panic, her voice shrill, "Commander, Qiu Xia is divorced. Why did you marry a divorced slut? There are so many good girls in this world!"
"Sister, you didn't tell the brigade commander that your daughter is infertile, right? Aren't you harming others by hiding it like this? Although I can understand that you are determined to climb up the social ladder, you can't keep this kind of thing secret forever!" Li Mei looked like she was thinking about her sister, but the abacus beads were flying in her face.
Qi Jingyan got angry first before the Qiu family members did, "You were the ones who had those big-character posters posted, weren't you?"
"Those...those are...facts!" Li Mei's eyes dodged.
"Tie them up." Qi Jingyan signaled the guards with his eyes to take action immediately.
"We haven't broken any law!" the mother and daughter shouted while struggling.
"Fabricating rumors to insult and slander military officers is a crime!" Qi Jingyan shouted angrily.
The mother and daughter's hearts sank, and they hurriedly asked the man next to them for help.
At the same time, Qi Jingyan also looked at the uneasy brigade cadre.
"As a cadre, you allowed rumors to spread and attacked members, not only remained indifferent but also helped to fuel the flames. This is inaction and a betrayal of the masses. I will communicate with your commune leader and have corrupt elements like you removed as soon as possible."
When Qi Jingyan dealt with Liu Yanyan's family, those who were watching outside the door and those who had participated in isolating and bullying the Qiu family were all silent.
Qi Jingyan's high-profile proposal to the Qiu family made the insulting remarks against Qiu Xia self-defeating. The news that the eldest daughter of the Qiu family divorced the battalion commander and remarried the brigade commander soon spread throughout the entire brigade.
This led to the Qiu family going from being a "bad element" that everyone hated to being a military officer's family that everyone fawned over.
Not to mention ordinary villagers, even the commune cadres looked up to the Qiu family.
All the insults to Qiu Xia and the malice directed at the Qiu family were now doubled and transferred to Liu Yanyan's family.
The Liu family was removed from their position as brigade cadres because of Qi Jingyan's "care", and they had offended many people in the past, so now everyone is pushing them down.
Not only did Liu Yanyan not catch Qi Jingyan's eye, she even broke up with her original "village grass" boyfriend.
The whole brigade was saying that Li Mei was ungrateful. If her sister hadn't raised her, she would have starved to death or frozen to death. But now she is jealous of her sister's daughter's good marriage and is making up rumors to throw dirty water on her.
Such people are really ungrateful!
