Chapter 174 His Heart is Despicable

Xu Aihong was startled. She didn't expect that Lu Shaotang didn't come to blame her, but to support her work.

Most men love face. If they are humiliated by others in public, they will be angry. But Lu Shaotang was not angry, and he personally brought his wife to give a letter of guarantee.

Who would dare to do that?

If you give a letter of guarantee not to beat your wife in front of so many people, you will be blamed if you beat her in the future.

This couple lives a life of ups and downs. It is inevitable that they will encounter something and bump into things. No one can live a lifetime without blushing, quarreling or fighting.

Although Xu Aihong is the director of the Women's Federation, she doesn't have such high requirements. She and men also have conflicts in life. Even her own husband is unwilling to give a letter of guarantee to the Women's Federation in public.

Some people may say that it is just a show, so what's wrong with it being so easy?

The fact is that most men nowadays are proud of beating their wives and being able to control their wives. Most of them brag outside that they can tell their wives to go east and they dare not go west. If anyone says that they are afraid of their wives, they will feel embarrassed and want to get angry. If their wives disobey them outside, let alone scold them, they may be upset and beat them.

The more uneducated and incompetent men are, the more serious this situation is.

Xu Aihong has been working for so many years and has seen too many similar couples. The man scolds and beats his wife at every turn. When asked to hit her less and to restrain himself a little when hitting her, it seems like he wants to kill him. I didn't expect that there is someone like Lu Shaotang who is willing to take the initiative to set an example by not beating his wife.

Xu Aihong was happy for Lin Shu and felt lucky for herself. Her eyes were moist.

If it were someone else, they would definitely come to the Women's Federation and scold her, asking her to apologize, write a self-criticism, and report her thoughts. She might even lose her position as director.

She carefully read the letter of guarantee, accepted it on behalf of the Women's Federation, and then apologized to Lin Shu solemnly, "Comrade Lin Shu, I'm sorry."

Lin Shu interrupted her, "Director Xu, we will definitely support your work. There will definitely be all kinds of unexpected situations in your work. Just investigate them clearly."

Although it was very embarrassing when I said it to her face yesterday, I calmed down and thought that Xu Aihong was also responsible for her work, and didn't she go to the countryside to investigate as soon as possible?

Some people don't even investigate when they hear about it, and they may not care about it even if they see it.

After all, many people believe in the principle of "less trouble is better than more trouble".

Seeing that Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang really did not blame her and really came to support the work of the Women's Federation, Xu Aihong was very grateful and immediately called other colleagues to explain the whole story.

It is better to let everyone know the truth than to hide it and let bystanders speculate and spread rumors in the end.

The other staff members laughed and said, "This is a beautiful misunderstanding, which proves that our comrade Lu Shaotang is a good man who loves his wife and proves that our Women's Federation is a good comrade who is serious and responsible."

When someone heard it, he immediately contacted the propagandist and quickly wrote an article to be published in the city and provincial newspapers.

Xu Aihong wanted to treat the two to dinner, but Lu Shaotang refused. He wanted to take Lin Shu to the Public Security Bureau.

At this moment, Zhou Qiaoling and Qiu Lina were fighting in the detention room of the Public Security Bureau.

Qiu Lina: "Zhou Qiaoling, you slandered me. I didn't want to harm Comrade Lin Shu."

She felt that she was a very kind person. Maybe Lin Shu liked Wei Lan because she was abused at home. Reporting to the director of women's affairs could save Lin Shu, right?

If the director of women's affairs didn't work, she planned to post a big-character poster directly to tear Lin Shu's face, accusing her of wanting to hook up with unmarried government officials as a married military wife.

Her behavior was to discredit military wives and she was not worthy of being the most beautiful military wife.

If Lu Shaotang, the Lu family, and the Lujiazhuang Brigade all believed that Lin Shu and Wei Lan had an affair, then Lin Shu would be finished. It would not be as simple as being divorced by Lu Shaotang. She would not be qualified to live.

Imagine a woman who was divorced and sent back to her parents' home because of having affairs. Would her family tolerate her? Would her family tolerate her? Would other women and men tolerate her?

The tongue is the murderous knife. As long as Lu Shaotang divorces her, she will be dead!

See if you dare to snatch me away!

It's a pity that she didn't expect that her good plan would be ruined by Zhou Qiaoling, a bastard. She really wanted to bite Zhou Qiaoling to death.

Zhou Qiaoling: "You thought about it. You instigated me to harm Comrade Lin Shu. I didn't agree!"

That day, Qiu Lina gave her two steamed buns and said a lot of nonsense. Zhou Qiaoling was thinking about how to use Qiu Lina to make a fuss to improve her situation.

The two steamed buns wanted to bribe herself to help her deal with Lin Shu? Am I a fool?

I hate Fang Dihua and Lin Shu, but can I deal with them?

Am I Lu Shaotang's opponent?

If I hurt Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang kills me, what will I do?

I don't want to die, why would I hurt others and kill myself?

With this idea in mind, she went to the Public Security Bureau the next morning to find Zhou Jianguo and Li Guodong, who had taken over the work from Lu Shaotang and his team.

She wanted to send a letter to Lu Shaotang through them, saying that she had very important and confidential information. She wanted to impress Lu Shaotang with such information and let him arrange a proper job for her and a better place to live.

Now she felt like she was kicked into rotten mud and had a feeling of suffocation.

She felt that she had been harmed too badly by her second aunt and the Zhou family. She was implicated and she was innocent. The government should not put the elders' crimes on her head.

She wanted to live a normal life!

She tried to use intelligence to force Lu Shaotang to meet her conditions, but Zhou Jianguo called the Qizhou unit. Not to mention that Lu Shaotang didn't even hear Chen Yanming's voice. It was Xiaozhuang who answered the phone the first time.

He directly asked Zhou Qiaoling to report the news immediately. As a result, Zhou Qiaoling put forward conditions, and Xiaozhuang hung up the phone directly.

Zhou Qiaoling was confused at the time and had no choice but to tell Zhou Jianguo that Qiu Lina wanted to harm Lin Shu. She felt that the more serious she made the matter, and the more vicious Qiu Lina was, the more valuable her intelligence would be, and the greater benefits she could get.

She believed that Qiu Lina's words of instigation were intended to make her lose her mind and harm Lin Shu. If she didn't go, she might find someone else in the future, so she pretended to calm her down and quickly reported to the Public Security Bureau.

The second call was answered by Ke Cheng, who characterized the matter as Qiu Lina trying to take an extreme approach and affect and disrupt the work of their unit by harming Lu Ju's family. He further speculated that she might have a relationship with Zhou Qiaofeng, so he immediately asked the county public security bureau to detain Qiu Lina.

Of course, Zhou Qiaoling, as an informant, was also detained in the Public Security Bureau and could not leave at will.

When Lu Shaotang knew about this, he thought that he would go home to pick up Lin Shu and the children, so he went home early and dealt with Qiu Lina's matter by the way. At

this time, he heard Qiu Lina and Zhou Qiaoling accusing each other in the detention room. Lu Shaotang frowned, and was too lazy to go in for interrogation, so he turned to the Revolutionary Committee.

When they investigated the Zhou family before, they investigated very carefully. The hidden thorn in the Zhou family was Zhou Qiaofeng.

She panicked because her accomplices from other places were arrested one after another. In order to protect herself, she deliberately instructed the nanny to reveal the information of Zhou Ergu, thinking that if she pushed the second aunt's family out to attract attention, she would be safer and no one would suspect her.

Who knew that Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming's team was experienced, and they contacted other locals to get confessions and information, and then removed several nails one after another, and then quickly and accurately found Zhou Qiaofeng.

In addition to Zhou Qiaofeng, other people naturally had to be investigated very strictly and carefully. Evidence and experience showed that Zhou Qiaoling was just a domineering woman who relied on her family to enjoy the benefits. She was not Zhou Qiaofeng's accomplice.

Maybe she was too stupid to be an accomplice.

As for Qiu Lina, the investigation showed that there was no problem with Qiu's close relatives and friends.

Qiu Lina targeted Lin Shu because she liked Wei Lan, but Wei Lan rejected her, and because Wei Lan was close to Lin Shu, Qiu Lina was very jealous.

So she made up rumors that Lin Shu tried to seduce Wei Lan.

As for the rumor that Lu Shaotang beat his wife, it was purely her own imagination.

If it were modern society, rumors would at most be resolved with an apology and education, but in this era when the legal system is not yet sound, the Revolutionary Committee has the final say.

The crime of hooliganism can be punished by shooting! If

the consequences of spreading rumors are serious, there will also be labor reform!

If Qiu Lina only spread rumors about an ordinary person, the other party might be ruined by the rumors and his work would be affected, but she spread rumors about a military wife and cadres of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee, and the negative impact would be very serious.

Whether it is the military wife who can't stand the loneliness of her husband's absence from home all year round and seduces other men, or the cadres of the agency destroy the military marriage family and cause the military husband to abuse his wife, etc., it will cause a very bad impact. If the rumor

gets out, it will tarnish the image of the military personnel, military wives, and government officials, and undermine stability and unity.

This is extremely despicable!

Fortunately, the Qiu family has no stain on their family background, otherwise they would be seen as deliberately provoking military-political conflicts, and the whole family would be in trouble.

After interrogation by the Public Security Bureau, they roughly knew the original intention and purpose of Qiu Lina's rumor-mongering. They didn't expect that jealousy could be so terrible that it could turn people into demons.

After a meeting and discussion, the County Revolutionary Committee ruled based on custom and actual circumstances: Qiu Lina spread rumors and slandered military and political officials, and was sentenced to four years of labor reform!

Not the kind of labor reform in the unit like Sun's widow, but a formal labor reform in a labor reform farm.

Not only will they have to accept heavier labor, but they will also have a criminal record in the police station and work unit, which will follow them for the rest of their lives and can never be washed away.

As for Zhou Qiaoling, she was rewarded with ten kilograms of food coupons for her meritorious reporting. She continued to be in charge of street sanitation work with Zhou Ergu and others, cleaning the sewage ditches and toilets on the street every day.

Although Zhou Qiaoling thought that ten kilograms of food coupons were a bit too little, she was so scared when she saw Lu Shaotang that her legs went weak. How could she have the courage to ask for a bigger reward?

She took the food coupons and hid quickly, fearing that she would be implicated by Zhou Qiaofeng and Ergu again.

Lin Shu was surprised by the speed of the County Revolutionary Committee's handling of the

case. It was just like the ancient county lord sitting in court to try cases, and the case was tried and sentenced on the spot. Originally, she thought that at most Qiu Lina would be criticized and educated, punished, and asked to write a self-criticism and report her thoughts. After all, in modern society, rumor-mongering is at most educated and apologized. Only serious rumors will result in detention for a few days and a fine of a few hundred.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Lina was sentenced directly to four years.

It is understandable to think about it. At that time, the punishment for treason, espionage, hooliganism and other crimes was very severe. Qiu Lina thought it was just a rumor about her and Wei Lan, but she forgot the identities of Lu Shaotang and Wei Lan and the groups they represented.

If she had known in advance that the cost of spreading rumors was so high, she would have kept her mouth shut and not said anything nonsense.

After Lu Shaotang handed over his position to the county revolutionary committee, Lin Shu would go home with him in the afternoon.

"Comrade Lin Shu!" Xu Aihong ran towards her.

Lin Shu paused in her attempt to get into the car. "Director Xu, is there anything else?"

Xu Aihong looked apologetic. "Comrade Lin Shu, I have thought about it over and over again. Wang Lijuan is indeed not suitable for the position of the director of the women's department. I wonder if you are interested?"

Seeing the astonishment on Lin Shu's face, she explained hurriedly, "Please don't misunderstand me. I am not trying to sell you the position of the brigade leader. I just think you are suitable for this position. I used to make the mistake of empiricism. I thought Lijuan was a truthful and outspoken person since she was a child. She was very suitable to be the director of the women's department. Facts have proved that it is useless to just be truthful. We must also pay attention to methods."

The director of the women's department is of course elected by each brigade, but the opinions of the superiors are also very important.

Generally speaking, if the commune revolutionary committee favors someone in the brigade, that person is basically a brigade cadre.

The director of the women's department is no exception.

The reason why Xu Aihong recommended Wang Lijuan was not entirely because she was her relative, but mainly because she felt that Wang Lijuan was bold and daring, and had a bit of a fierceness. After all, you can't be shy or timid when doing women's work. You have to deal with some fierce women and some rogue men, and you can't do it without some skills.

But she didn't expect that Wang Lijuan has not made any progress in the past few years. She only talks about hard work and not methods in her work.

If Lin Shu is willing, then she will recommend Lin Shu, and the brigade election will pass smoothly.

"Thank you, Director Xu, I'm really not suitable to be the director of women's affairs. I'm thin-skinned." Lin Shu showed a shy expression. She was not interested in being the captain of the brigade, so why should she be the director of women's affairs?

Once you become a brigade cadre, you can never rest easy for the rest of your life. If you don't have 800 things to do every day, you will have at least 200 things to do.

If you open your eyes, you may see someone fighting with someone else, someone abusing their mother-in-law, someone abusing their daughter-in-law, someone abusing their children...

No, it's too noisy. She can't be the director of women's affairs

. She doesn't have the unyielding mediation spirit of the director of women's affairs. If the couple has a conflict, she will just want a divorce. She will definitely not follow the principle of her superiors to make a big deal out of a small matter, and she will not give the domestic violence man a chance once, three times, or a hundred times. She will directly send the domestic violence man to labor reform.

Seeing that Lin Shu resolutely refused, Xu Aihong could not insist any longer. "I will go to the Struggle Commune in the next two days. I will ask you brigade cadres to go to the commune for a meeting then."

To discuss the re-election of the women's director of the Lujiazhuang Brigade.

Lin Shu said she would give a message to the brigade cadres.

"Lin Shu, Lin Shu! I apologize to you, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!" At this time, two police officers escorted Qiu Lina to change rooms. She frantically turned her head to find an opportunity to reduce her guilt.

As soon as she saw Lin Shu, she screamed desperately.

If Lin Shu didn't forgive her, she would be petty and deliberately retaliate.

"I was wrong, I was wrong! I just said it casually, I really didn't mean to hurt anyone! Please be generous and forgive me!" She wanted to rush to Lin Shu, but the police twisted her arm and took her into an isolation room to wait to be sent to the labor camp with other prisoners.

I don't know if it's because Qiu Lina's voice is too harsh, or because her bond with Qiu Lina deepened because of this incident, she suddenly knew some of the entanglements between Qiu Lina and Wei Lan in the original plot.

In the original book, Wei Lan liked a married woman, a teacher at a city middle school, and her husband was a worker at a steel mill.

He mistakenly thought that the woman was single and liked someone else, and after knowing that she was married, they had no intersection. After that, he focused on his career and not marriage.

Qiu Lina pursued Wei Lan desperately, and accidentally knew that Wei Lan had liked a female teacher, so she thought that he rejected her because of her. So she turned her love into hatred and reported that he had an improper relationship with the female teacher, and posted big-character posters all over the streets and the female teacher's unit at night.

Although Wei Lan issued a very formal written clarification to the unit, the unit believed his self-proof, and the Municipal Revolutionary Committee also sent an official letter to the school to prove that the two did not have an improper relationship between men and women.

But the female teacher's husband was still suspicious, feeling that his wife was cheating on him, and began to abuse her frequently.

The female teacher's parents-in-law and even her biological parents blamed her, saying that if she had not behaved improperly, how could others catch her cheating?

The female teacher was also investigated by the school, ridiculed and excluded by colleagues, and even humiliated by students in class.

The female teacher could not bear the humiliation and finally jumped into the river to commit suicide.

After her death, some people sympathized with her, but more people felt that she committed suicide out of shame. If she was not ashamed, why did she commit suicide?

Qiu Lina was only criticized by her unit. Facing the accusations of Wei Lan and others, she wiped her tears and said that she just loved him too much. If he accepted her, such a thing would not happen. In the final analysis, it was his fault that he liked married women!

If it weren't for the help of Wei Lan's parents and sister, Wei Lan's career would have ended here. He felt very guilty about the death of the female teacher, and finally applied for a transfer to a poor county in the mountainous area, where he has been doing poverty alleviation work.

Lin Shu sorted out the information and frowned slightly. Qiu Lina still didn't understand why she was sentenced.

What's the use of her forgiveness? She doesn't represent power!

If she wasn't a military wife, if Lu Shaotang wasn't powerful enough, Qiu Lina might have posted big-character posters about her and Wei Lan all over the Municipal Revolutionary Committee and the Lujiazhuang Brigade.

The damage that big-character posters cause to people is similar to the damage caused by cyber violence in later generations. Not only will it make people depressed, but they may also commit suicide due to the mental pressure.

In this era, posting big-character posters on people means that he has sentenced the other person to death in his heart and wants to kill the other person.

His heart is despicable!

So, why should she forgive Qiu Lina?

You should just go to labor reform!
