The next morning, Xu Changqing brought several cadres from the brigade and Xu Baozhu's parents to the Hongqi Brigade.
Xu Baozhu's parents were terrified the previous night when they heard the team leader say their son had been arrested for bullying a female educated youth in the Red Flag Brigade. Early that morning, the couple followed several brigade officials to the Red Flag Brigade.
The combined number of people from the two teams was a bit too large, so Liu Defu found a large room to use as a meeting room.
"Everyone here is our own people. What do you think we should do with this matter?" Liu Defu said seriously.
"According to the previous method, wasn't it just about letting the man marry the female educated youth and that was it? Why are we doing this today?" The deputy captain of Shangyang Brigade said indifferently.
Several village cadres from the Hongqi Brigade grumbled inwardly upon hearing his words. It was only because Yun Zhiqing wasn't there, otherwise they would have had another casualty in Yang Commune. And he even wanted Yun Zhiqing to marry this scoundrel from their brigade. How audacious! How shameless!
"Stop talking nonsense like that. Has Captain Xu forgotten what Yun Zhiqing said yesterday?"
"Isn't he just an educated youth? What's so great about him? As the old saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. In our territory, we can still let these educated youth from outsiders bully us."
"That's right. Besides, I heard that Baozhu was beaten to a pulp by that female educated youth."
"Alright, all of you, stop talking. I advise you to give up on the idea of Yun Zhiqing marrying Xu Baozhu."
"That's right. Look at the character of your Xu Baozhu. Yun Zhiqing is beautiful and educated, why would she marry a scoundrel?" Accountant Liu felt that the people from Shangyang Brigade were simply daydreaming. There were so many good guys in their brigade who were interested in Yun Zhiqing, so how could they let Yun Zhiqing marry a scoundrel from another brigade?
"Then what do you think we should do?" Xu Changqing also didn't sleep all night.
After discussing for a long time, they finally came up with a moderate solution. The team leader asked someone to find Yun Yan.
Yun Yan followed a team leader to the brigade office. As soon as she entered the door, she heard someone inside saying bad things about her.
"Captain Liu, I can tell you're being too indulgent with those educated youth. If this happened in our Shangyang Brigade, we wouldn't let a little girl ride roughshod over us."
"So you people in Shangyang Commune are used to riding roughshod over the educated youth?" Yun Yan was furious after hearing what the people in Shangyang Commune said. She was clearly the victim, yet she was being blamed.
"Captain, since the brigade leaders are so dissatisfied with me, I'd better report it to the police. Let the police comrades investigate who is at fault." Yun Yan said as she turned to leave.
Liu Defu and Xu Changqing were so frightened that they immediately grabbed her and pulled her into the room to sit down. "Yun Zhiqing, please don't be impulsive. Deputy Captain Xu was just joking."
"Really? But he doesn't sound like he's joking." Yun Yan stared at the people in the conference room with a cold expression.
"Well, Yun Zhiqing, we called you here mainly to communicate with you about the handling results of Xu Juhua and Xu Baozhu." Liu Defu spoke to break the awkwardness.
"Have the two captains discussed how to deal with them?"
"Xu Baozhu has already been beaten by you, so he's being punished. As for Xu Juhua, she's considered an accomplice, so the brigade has decided to have her carry manure."
Yun Yan was actually quite satisfied with the result. After all, they were all native locals. If she insisted on being right, she might end up falling out with them.
"I agree with this outcome, but I have one request. I want Xu Juhua to apologize to me in front of the entire team."
Liu Defu thought about it and agreed to Yun Yan's request.
The matter had come to an end. Team Shangyang was going to take Xu Baozhu back. When Xu Baozhu's parents saw Xu Baozhu beaten beyond recognition, they immediately rushed over crying.
"Oh my son, who beat you like this?"
"Captain, you just watched those outsiders bully us from the Yang Brigade."
After hearing this, Yun Yan immediately stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with me beating him? Doesn't your son deserve to be beaten? I tell you, even if I beat him to death, he deserved it."
After hearing this, Xu Baozhu's mother was so angry that she rushed up to hit Yunyan, but Yunyan kicked her away.
Xu Baozhu's mother was kicked to the ground and immediately started throwing a tantrum. Several people from the Shangyang Brigade also felt humiliated and blamed Yun Yan.
"You are too presumptuous. Are there any laws against hitting people casually?"
"Wang Fa? I should be the one asking you this. You all know how many things you have done to oppress the educated youth in the past few years by relying on your status as village cadres." Yun Yan was not afraid of the people from Yang Brigade.
"I'm telling you, don't think the educated youth from the Hongqi Brigade are as easy to bully as the educated youth from your Shangyang Brigade. I, Yun Yan, certainly won't do that."
Several cadres from the Shangyang Brigade felt a little guilty when they saw Yun Yan's expression. They carried Xu Baozhu and took Xu Baozhu's parents with them and quickly left the Hongqi Brigade.
Several cadres from the Red Flag Brigade also looked at Yun Yan. They actually felt guilty because what she said was the truth after all.
The next day, Mrs. Xu apologized to Yunyan in front of the whole village, and then was sent to carry manure.
As for Xu Baozhu, after being brought back to Shangyang Brigade, the village barefoot doctor had no choice but to send them to the hospital in the county.
It is said that Xu Baozhu had three broken ribs and a lot of internal injuries. Most importantly, the doctor said that his reproductive organs were damaged, which might affect his fertility in the future.
After hearing what the doctor said, Xu Baozhu's parents cried bitterly in the hospital, and his mother even fainted.
From then on, not only the Red Flag Brigade, but also the two nearby brigades knew that there was a very fierce female educated youth in the Red Flag Brigade who was good at kung fu.
Yun Yan didn't bother to pay attention to these gossips. After all, her goal had been achieved. From now on, no blind scoundrels would target her anymore.
Time flew by and it was Mid-Autumn Festival. The brigade gave everyone a day off. Wang Fang came early in the morning to inform Yunyan that she would go to the educated youth camp for dinner that night.
Yunyan didn't care. It would be boring to celebrate the holiday alone anyway.
When it was almost time for dinner, Yun Yan took the braised pig's trotters with soybeans that she had made and went to the educated youth site.
The people at the educated youth site divided the seats into three groups, and Yunyan sat next to Wang Fang.
As the person in charge of the educated youth site, Zhang Yuan stood up and said a few words of blessing, and then everyone started eating.
The meal lasted almost an hour, and Yunyan stayed to help the other female educated youth clean up the dishes.
When I finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, the moon was already high in the sky.
"The bright moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment across the world." Yun Yan recited the poem unconsciously.
