He Junsheng was dumbfounded, his face burning with pain. In reality, more than 20 old women had been cursing him mercilessly.
He Junsheng couldn't understand why these people treated Jiang Tiecheng so differently.
Jiang Tiecheng had no relation to them.
He said, somewhat exasperated,
Are you all blind?
Jiang Tiecheng has caused all of you to go hungry soon, and you're still protecting him?
It was because of him that these orders were lost.
Are you all crazy?
Second Auntie slapped him with her claws. Although He Junsheng was on guard, he was no match for the shrew.
Three bloody scratches were left on his neck.
"What...what are you doing?"
"What are you saying I'm doing?"
If you dare to say anything bad about our Team Leader Jiang, you're bullying our Red Flag Brigade.
"You dare bully the Red Flag Brigade? I'll make you pay!"
"You're all crazy, you're completely crazy! Jiang Tiecheng lost his orders because of this!"
Why don't you go and settle accounts with him?
Instead, you turn your backs on me, the one who speaks the truth and lets you know the facts.
Are you guys sick?
"Your brain must be full of water."
He Junsheng couldn't understand it at all; things were completely different from what he had expected.
It's said that these rural people only care about their own interests, but I never expected them to be so protective of Jiang Tiecheng.
This is wrong, this development is absolutely wrong.
His second aunt and a group of women swarmed at him, and He Junsheng was beaten without any chance to fight back.
When women fight, they either pull hair, scratch, or pinch.
More and more people gathered around to watch, and just then, a loud shout was heard.
"Stop it, all of you! What are you doing?"
Why beat someone up in broad daylight? Couldn't they have talked it out properly?
The aunties scattered in a panic, and the second auntie finally got off He Junsheng, after she had been straddling him and scratching him wildly.
He Junsheng looked extremely miserable at that moment.
His face was so badly scratched that it was unrecognizable.
His clothes were full of holes, and his body was covered in fingernail marks and bloodstains.
Jiang Tiecheng stepped forward and shielded his second aunt and the others behind him. This situation arose because his second aunt and the others were angry and defended him.
Give a plum, receive a peach in return.
He wouldn't let these women be criticized because of him.
"Comrade, this matter is not the fault of these aunties. It's mainly because Comrade He Junsheng asked for a beating by speaking rudely."
Second Auntie ripped Jiang Tiecheng off.
"Alright, you don't need to get involved. This has nothing to do with you; you didn't lift a finger."
Comrade, let me tell you, there's a reason we beat him up. This kid is no good.
They're using honeyed words to sow discord here, thinking we're just villagers who don't know anything!
We may tell you we're uncultured, but that doesn't mean we're stupid.
The people in our village are smart too.
He wants to incite infighting among us here, to make us all hate our Team Leader Jiang.
"Isn't that just asking for a beating?"
"Yes, comrades, everyone's watching."
What did that kid just curse at us?
They call us crazy, say we're mentally unstable, say we've lost our minds—who can tolerate that?
“That’s right. Anyone who dares to insult us deserves to be beaten. He deserved to be beaten.”
"What exactly is going on with this comrade?"
How could you bully these women in the street?
"What kind of man bullies a woman? No wonder you got beaten up."
Hu Wei is upholding justice, and now is the perfect time for him to rebuild his prestige.
Since his son Hu Tian got into trouble, he has been severely criticized by his superiors.
At this point, his authority was severely restricted, making it extremely difficult for him to turn things around.
He shouldn't have intervened when something like this happened on the street.
But thinking that this might be an opportunity, after all, so many village women beat one person, how could this help the masses resolve their internal conflicts?
It will also become one of one's achievements, at least one's reputation will be much better.
This also shows the leaders his determination to do practical things for the people, and at the same time demonstrates that he is not, as people suspect, abusing his power for personal gain and protecting his son.
He Junsheng jumped up and said with a wronged expression,
"Comrade, you've misunderstood. This isn't a conflict between me and these old women at all."
Rather, the conflict between me and Jiang Tiecheng was all because of Jiang Tiecheng.
He deliberately provoked these village women to fight me. How could I, a grown man, dare to lay a hand on them? Look what they did to me!"
"I'm innocent!"
Upon hearing the name Jiang Tiecheng, Hu Wei turned around instantly, staring at Jiang Tiecheng with a cold gaze.
He had heard of this name before, from his son and from inquiries about several incidents. It was Jiang Tiecheng's appearance that caused his son's conspiracy to fail.
Because Jiang Tiecheng's own son ended up as a prisoner, the Song family suddenly turned their fortunes around.
Hu Wei hated Jiang Tiecheng, who had ruined his plans, to the core, but he never expected to run into him here.
"You're Jiang Tiecheng? Jiang Tiecheng from the Red Flag Brigade?"
Jiang Tiecheng was momentarily stunned when he received the hateful gaze from the other party; he didn't recognize the person in front of him.
"I am Jiang Tiecheng from the Red Flag Brigade. And you are?"
"Never mind who I am. You started this whole thing. You're the one who triggered this conflict. Alright. Come back with me."
He said to his two subordinates beside him,
"Take him back for a thorough investigation."
Two officers from the armed forces department stepped forward to grab Jiang Tiecheng.
Just then, Second Aunt and the others got anxious and surrounded Jiang Tiecheng in a flash.
"You're a strange comrade. Who are you?"
"Why are you taking our Team Leader Jiang away?"
"Why are you taking them away?"
"It's obvious what happened; it was just an argument, and they still wanted to take the person away."
Don't assume that just because a country woman is ignorant, she'll be afraid of these people.
Hu Wei sneered.
"We are from the Armed Forces Department. Since we have encountered this situation, we have the right to intervene!"
Do you realize that what you're doing involves disturbing public order?
I've already shown leniency by not arresting you all.
"Don't cause trouble here. If you obstruct official business, we have the right to arrest you all."
"Get out of my way, all of you."
Upon hearing that the second aunt and the others were from the county armed forces department, they were also a little timid, after all, the people in the armed forces department were not ordinary people.
Ordinary people like them have never seen government officials before. When they face government officials, they have to handle official business strictly, and everyone is afraid.
He Junsheng was surprised by the unexpected turn of events and immediately said with great pride.
"Comrade, that's right, you need to investigate Jiang Tiecheng thoroughly."
Why was he able to get the order for the Hongqi Brigade out of nowhere? There must be something wrong with this.
I suggest you conduct a thorough review; there's a good chance this could uncover a lot of problems.
