Chapter 191 Secrets

Zhao Qin was so scared when she heard her father-in-law get angry that she drooped her head and dared not say a word. However, she was not convinced in her heart. It was impossible for her to pay.

Jin Ping'er said hurriedly: "Actually, it's nothing. The second wife doesn't know. It's just that Shao Tang's wife is young..."

"What? Are you relying on Shao Tang's wife again?" Xu Laonian was even more furious. The second master and his wife, the brigade cadres, the commune county committee and other cadres all respected Shao Tang's wife. Why are they showing off to you?

Zhao Qin was scolded by him and burst into tears. She was even more dissatisfied in her heart.

Xu Dazhu just came back from outside. Zhao Qin saw her man as if she saw a rescuer. She immediately rushed over, pulled his clothes and wiped her tears in grievance.

Xu Dazhu looked at his father with a dark face scolding his wife and mother, and he immediately became unhappy, "Dad, why are you glaring at your family?"

He knew without asking that it must be related to the Lu family.

His father was crazy, the Lu family was his relatives, his family was picked up, and he would not allow his family to say a bad word about the Lu family.

Xu Laonian glared at him, "Take good care of your wife."

He went into the house angrily, put his two nests in his arms and left, and did not eat at home.

Xu Erzhu and Shunni'er also ate quickly and went to work.

As soon as they left, Zhao Qin lay on Xu Dazhu and cried in grievance, "Dazhu, what's the matter? Why are you so upset about those two? Why can't you let me go?" She wiped her tears on the man, but said the most unsatisfactory thing, "The second wife is his biological son and daughter-in-law, and we are picked up, right? The job of the incense factory can be done by them, why can't we go?"

This touched Jin Ping'er's nerves, and her face changed immediately.

Xu Dazhu is indeed not the son of Xu Laonian'er, but the posthumous son of her previous man - the landlord Xie Yaozu who was shot.

Could it be that Laonian'er knew?

Jin Ping'er was originally the eighth concubine of Xie Yaozu, the landlord Xie of Xie's official manor.

Xie Yaozu was an out-and-out scumbag. It was no exaggeration to say that he was another Huang Shiren. Whenever he saw a beautiful lady, he would try to snatch her away, regardless of whether she was married or not. If he failed to snatch her away, he would try to destroy her family.

It was not that he snatched Jin Ping'er away, but he saw her when he went to inspect the farmland below him.

At that time, Jin Ping'er was not called this name, but Jin San Ya'er.

She was washing clothes in the river. The sunshine in May was warm, and the rippling water reflected her pretty face and three-inch golden lotus.

Xie Yaozu fell in love with

her at that time. He immediately sent the steward to ask for her, and was willing to give her parents 100 kilograms of wheat, 10 kilograms of meat, and 20 kilograms of oil, so that she could be his maid. She

was called a maid, but in fact she was a concubine, but he did not want to give her a formal status.

At that time, the Jin family was in a difficult situation, and they could not even get enough to eat the coarse grains every day. Her parents naturally agreed, but they asked for another ten dollars for their son to marry a wife.

After Jin San Ya'er followed Jie Yaozu, he was very satisfied with her and said that she looked like a beautiful bottle, so he changed her name to Jin Ping'er.

She lived comfortably with Jie Yaozu. She didn't need to do any housework, but was only responsible for his personal affairs. He made her white flour buns with meat every meal, and made new clothes for her from time to time.

Later, Jie Yaozu snatched several wives and concubines, but they refused to obey him. He was very angry. In contrast, he felt that Jin Ping'er was well-behaved and obedient, so he made her a concubine.

As a result, less than a year after she became a concubine, Jie Yaozu was shot to death during the land division campaign.

The land reform group asked the poor people to expose the evil deeds of the tyrant landlords. At that time, Jin Ping'er could not say anything. She thought Jie Yaozu was very good. He was gentle, considerate and generous to her and never beat her.

He said that he was not good to those women. Didn't those women mean that they were not obedient?

If they were like her, wouldn't they be beaten?

Of course, she didn't dare to say this. After all, Jie Yaozu was going to be shot. Her family had been poor farmers for generations and belonged to the enslaved poor working people.

After Jie Yaozu was shot, she was also considered as one of the people in the Jie family who needed to be liberated, and was betrothed to someone like other concubines and maids.

After marrying Xu Laonian, she found out that she was pregnant. Fortunately, it was not discovered in a short time. Moreover, Xu Laonian was honest and knew nothing about women's affairs, so it was easy for her to hide it.

Xu Laonian has always loved Xu Dazhu for so many years, and always had good things with him. But now, he gave such a good job in the incense factory to Erzhu and his wife.

This could not help but make Jin Ping'er think more.

Although Fang Dihua always came to ask for people, Xu Laonian did not raise any opinions at all. However, Jin Ping'er knew the relationship between Xu Laonian and Lu Laodie, and thought that Xu Laonian had secretly chosen them.

Letting Erzhu and his wife to do the job must be for Laonian's face.

It can't be because of Erzhu's dull and stupid look, right?

She thinks Dazhu is handsome like her and his biological father.

Although Dazhu sounds like a rustic fool, he actually looks no worse than Big Brother Lu.

She thinks Erzhu is like Laonian, with a big face and dark skin. He looks dull and stupid, and is very suitable to be a slave. She

has accepted the reality for so many years, but it is inevitable... When it is late at night and everyone is asleep, she still misses the old times when she hears Xu Laonian's snoring.

How good it was back then, with white flour every day, fish and chicken whenever she wanted, silk clothes every day, and even the crotch of her pants were made of white silk.

She didn't even have to wash her menstrual cloths in winter and summer. How could it be as miserable as marrying a poor peasant after the land reform? She

had to wash clothes for the whole family in the cold weather. Not only did she not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, but she also had to be pointed at and accused of being the concubine of a landlord who was shot.

That was humiliating.

She had to thank the people of Lujiazhuang for giving face to the Lu family, and also gave some face to Xu Laonian, so that she could live a good life.

Alas, although they were all landlords, their endings were different.

Zhao Qin was still holding her arm and crying, "Mom, say something, mom, why is my dad so partial?"

Xu Dazhu also stiffened his neck, looking unhappy.

When his second brother first went to help at the Lu family incense factory, he didn't think much of it. He didn't take it seriously when Zhao Qin complained to him that his father favored his second brother, because his father had obviously treated him better since he was a child.

He thought that maybe because he was the eldest son and would have to take on the responsibilities in the future, he was given the delicious food and the second brother was left to do the heavy work.

Besides, the second brother earned work points at the incense factory, which were counted in the public account, and he could also benefit from the year-end dividend.

But Zhao Qin said that Erzhu and his wife could get extra money for working at the incense factory in addition to work points, and all that money was embezzled by the second wife.

Over time, he was also influenced by Zhao Qin and felt that his father was indeed partial to his second brother.

On the surface, his father gave him delicious food, so why didn't his second brother

get angry? Who knows, his father gave his second brother more behind the scenes. On the surface, his father asked his second brother to work more, so why didn't his second brother get angry? Isn't that going to the incense factory? Asking his second brother to work is for outsiders to see, so that everyone knows that his second brother is stronger and more diligent than him, so it is natural for him to go to the incense factory.

At this moment, he also cooperated with his wife to put pressure on his mother. He squatted on the ground, holding his head and not saying a word, "Mom, you won't be partial to Erzhu, right?"

Jin Ping'er was so angry that she hit him on the back twice, "You enemy, you are so ignorant that you can't see how good your mother is to you?"

Xu Dazhu said in a low voice, "Who knows if you are doing it for show like my father? You treat me well, but you are partial to Erzhu at the critical moment."

Zhao Qin also echoed from the side.

Jin Ping'er was so angry that she had a headache. Although she suspected that it was Xu Laonian who told the second mother to let Erzhu and Shunni'er do the work, she couldn't let her eldest son and daughter-in-law say it out loud.

Wouldn't that cause division?

No matter what, Xu Laonian is Xu Dazhu's father, and they have to rely on him to survive in Lujia Village.

Jin Ping'er scolded her eldest son and daughter-in-law, and took five yuan to the Lu family.

Last year, it was because the perfume factory gave her more money, otherwise where could she take out five yuan?

The sun was shining brightly today, and Lin Shu was drying the quilt in the yard. She took a bare stick and beat the quilt, and the dust flew.

It was obviously a dirty scene, but the sun was just right, making her face as white as jade, and the flying dust seemed to add a layer of soft light filter to her, making her look bright and beautiful, and Jin Ping'er secretly praised her good looks.

If she went over there, she would be snatched away by the commander as his concubine.

Jin Ping'er's values ​​were different from others. She thought that being snatched away by the commander was the highest compliment of beauty.

Seeing her coming over, Lin Shu smiled and greeted her.

Jin Ping'er said with a smile, "Look, this is all my fault. My eldest daughter-in-law told me before that she caught two rabbits from my second grandmother's house. She asked me to give her some money, but I forgot about it."

Lin Shu smiled and said it was okay, "Auntie, this is not a matter of money. If you really want to raise them, just catch them and raise them. When you have rabbit cubs, send me two more. If you want to sell them as meat, they have to grow to four or five pounds. If they are less than three pounds, they are not grown."

She didn't say the latter, but Jin Ping'er knew what she meant. You can make up for it and pay it back with the rabbits, but you can't give them to relatives and then say they ran away, and you can't accuse them of being sick and not being raised.

Is my family the kind of people who deliberately give you sick rabbits?

Jin Ping'er said yes repeatedly, and she would catch three more.

She took five yuan and gave it to Lin Shu.

But Lin Shu refused, "Auntie, just send five full-moon rabbits over later."

She wanted to see if Zhao Qin dared to secretly give them to her brother again. If that happened, Jin Ping'er and her eldest son and daughter-in-law would be in trouble.

Jin Ping'er didn't argue, "Then I'll send five back."

She wasn't in a hurry to pick the rabbits, but looked towards the incense-making room in the east and said with a smile, "Our second son has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently, and I'm afraid he'll be delayed in his work."

Lin Shu: "Brother Erzhu and his wife are very efficient at their work, don't worry, auntie."

Jin Ping'er: "He's stupid, I'm really afraid he won't have the foresight to mess up the work again. Speaking of which, his eldest brother has been smart since he was a child, and he's more capable than him, do you think you should switch..."

Lin Shu smiled and pushed her back, "Don't worry, they're both very good at their work, they're both very experienced, absolutely."

Seeing Lin Shu's insistence, Jin Ping'er knew that her words wouldn't work, so she smiled and left with her basket.

It was estimated that she wouldn't be able to find the second wife, so she still had to let Lao Nian'er talk.

But at noon, Laonian was clearly trying to shirk the decision of Erzhu and his wife, who were chosen by the Second Mistress. He had no say, and if she said anything more, he would be very upset. After

being married for so many years, Jin Ping'er also understood Xu Laonian's temper. He was usually quiet and seemed to be very kind and gentle, but he would not allow people to say bad things about the Lu family, and would not allow people to question the decisions of the Second Mistress and the Second Mistress.

If you ask him to call Erzhu back and replace him with Dazhu, he would definitely turn against you.

Although Jin Ping'er usually had the upper hand in life, she said to let the Second Mistress do more work and the First Mistress eat more, and Xu Laonian didn't care at all, but he was not vague at all when it came to the Lu family, and it was useless for Jin Ping'er to lose her temper or cry like a spoiled child.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the apricot trees in the yard were full of buds, and the dark red buds had already broken open to reveal a hint of pink.

On the seventeenth day, a few magpies chirped on the apricot trees.

Panpan and Tiantian had learned a lot from the old folks. Panpan, with his hands behind his back, followed the grandfather's steps, looked up at the magpies on the apricot tree, and said with a smile: "The magpies are chirping, and relatives are coming. Look, it must be our second aunt and the eldest aunt who are coming."

Tiantian nodded, "Yes."

Dad just came back after the fifteenth day, so it must not be Dad who came back.

Originally, when Lu Shaotang came back this time, Lin Shu and the children could have gone to Qizhou to live for a while, but the two children have been particularly soft-hearted and nostalgic for their grandma since they were entangled in the ultimate problem of old age and death. They felt that if they stared at their grandma, they would age slowly.

The two children were discussing the problem of the magpie when Panpan heard the sound of a jeep outside and shouted, "Second aunt, second uncle is here!"

The two children immediately ran out.

Sure enough, they saw Jiang Weidong's jeep turning into the alley.

After this year, the two children thought that their second aunt was beautiful again!

Panpan jumped and shouted, "Aunt, you are so beautiful, more beautiful than steamed buns and chicken legs!"

She used her elbow to nudge Tiantian to say something quickly. Tiantian

said this casually, didn't she?

She also said, "Aunt, you are so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven!"

Lin Xia pushed the car door and was about to get out of the car, but the two kids almost fell to the ground and laughed loudly, "This year, you two must have smeared honey on your mouths, right?"

She took out red envelopes from her pocket and gave them to Tiantian and Panpan.

The two children happily put it in their pockets, holding Lin Xia's hands on the left and right, and greeted their second uncle and invited them to their home.

Lin Shu was raising seedlings in a broken clay pot in the house. When she heard the sound, she came out and said a few words, "Where is Auntie? Why don't you come with us?"

Jiang Weidong was busy getting things. Lin Xia said, "She's at home cleaning up. We went back to our hometown a few days ago and just came back."

After entering the yard, Lin Xia first greeted the people in the Lu family at home, then went into the house to drink water and talk.

Jiang Weidong brought some local specialties from his hometown, such as glutinous rice flour, glutinous rice cakes, and dried mushrooms.

Lin Shu also asked about the local customs and habits there to broaden her horizons, and then talked about the new things this month.

That Lin Xia really came with gossip.

Lin Xia asked the two children to share candy and snacks with Sister Xiuxiu while she talked to Lin Shu.

"Third sister, do you remember Gao Hu and Yu Mingming you mentioned?"

Lin Shu certainly remembered that she and Lu Shaotang saw the couple quarreling on the second day of her second sister's wedding. Later, she told her second brother-in-law about it as a casual chat, asking him to keep an eye on Gao Hu and not to cause any trouble that would affect the reputation of the steel mill.

Lin Xia lowered her voice, "Teacher Yu went to the security department of the steel mill and asked them to investigate her affair with another male comrade, and also to investigate her husband, to prove her innocence."

Lin Shu peeled a piece of sorghum candy and put it in her mouth. The glutinous rice paper melted in her mouth, and the sorghum candy was soft, sticky and sweet. She chewed the candy while listening to her second sister gossiping.

Lin Xia: "The security department reported it to the factory committee, and the factory committee asked your second brother-in-law to take people to investigate this matter."

After Jiang Weidong received the task from the factory committee, he led the security department to investigate and visit, first investigating the three parties involved, and then visiting their respective leaders, colleagues, neighbors, etc., first proving the innocence of Teacher Yu and the male comrade, and then investigating Gao Hu's abnormality.

During the visit, Jiang Weidong and his team learned that Gao Hu had a close friend, who was his high school classmate named Guan.

It is understood that Gao Hu and Guan hit it off at first sight and had a good relationship in high school. They were in the same class and dormitory and were almost inseparable. After

graduation, Gao Hu's family used their connections to help him get a job in the steel rolling factory, but Guan went to the countryside for half a year. Later, his family paid for him to get a job back in the city, and he was recruited into the furniture factory.

After he came back, Gao Hu still maintained a very close relationship with him, and they basically met two or three times a week.

Through in-depth investigations, Jiang Weidong and his team also learned from the post office that Guan always received remittances and parcels from the city during the six months he went to the countryside, and the sender was Gao Hu.

The two were indeed very close. They went to the workers' club every week to play ball and dance, and later they agreed to get married together.

Coincidentally, their wives became pregnant at almost the same time and gave birth to babies one after the other.

Guan had a daughter and Gao had a son.

The two even joked about arranging marriages for their children and becoming in-laws.

Gao and Yu were introduced to each other through a blind date arranged by their families. Gao chose her because she was gentle, virtuous, introverted and quiet.

Guan's wife was a mute girl whom he met when he was sent to the countryside to work in the production team. At that time, he had no relatives and was taken care of by her.

The mute girl was not only deaf and dumb, but also had a slight limp.

When she was eight years old, she went to the mountains to collect firewood. As a result, she met a few naughty children who dug up a damaged shell. After a "research", the shell exploded, killing two children on the spot, and she was also affected.

Her left foot was seriously injured, her eardrum was ruptured and could not be repaired, and her vocal cords were also damaged. In the end, she became deaf-mute.

Guan was poor and could not afford the bride price. He was grateful to the mute girl for not wanting to pay the bride price, and married her because she had taken care of him in the countryside.

The couple has a good relationship.

Jiang Weidong and others found nothing wrong after investigation. Guan and the mute girl had a good relationship, and the mute girl also said through gestures that her husband and Gao Hu were good brothers who helped each other, but they had never done anything illegal.

She thought the steel mill investigated them because someone reported them for speculation.

Jiang Weidong and others planned to close the case. There was no problem between the couple. If the relationship broke down and they really couldn't live together, they would divorce.

Gao Hu didn't believe that Yu Mingming had nothing to do with another man. He wanted Yu Mingming to leave the house and give the child to him.

Yu Mingming also got involved with him and suspected that he had problems. Why would a big boss put on makeup?

She secretly found Lin Xia, hoping that Lin Xia could help convey her suspicion to Director Jiang.

She knew that her suspicion was a bit too shocking, because she was inspired by Lin Shu to suspect that Gao Qiang and Guan were having an affair.

It was nothing before she didn't have any suspicions, thinking that the two were just good friends with a good relationship, but once she put on the tinted glasses, the more she thought something was wrong.

Every time Gao Hu went to see Guan, he would dress up carefully, wax, shave, and apply cold cream. These were all necessary. She, a woman, didn't do this when she went out.

After hearing this, Lin Xia didn't refuse, and went home and quietly told Jiang Weidong and Old Lady Jiang.

Old Lady Jiang was well-informed and knowledgeable, and they never kept things secret from her.

Old Lady Jiang said, "Don't bother with this matter. We have been investigating for several days, and it's New Year's Eve and we haven't finished it yet. I'll go and ask for you."

She knew that Jiang Weidong was an upright person, and he only considered things like adultery and speculation, and would never think that men and men were not doing anything decent.

Old Lady Jiang's trick was incredible. She soon found out from an old lady that Gao Hu and Guan were flirting with each other when they were smoking outside. It was so ambiguous!

When the old lady told Old Lady Jiang about it, her eyebrows were dancing and her eyes were shining, as if she had found a soulmate to talk to.

"Tsk tsk, old sister, you didn't see it, two grown men were standing in a corner smoking, one was touching the other's face, and the other was pounding the other's chest, making 'hmm, hmm' sounds, eh~~"

"The two of them were holding hands with their arms crossed, I took a puff of your cigarette, you took a puff of mine, and finally they discussed face to face which cigarette was better to smoke. Isn't it just a broken cigarette? Is there a need to study it like that? If you want to kiss, just kiss. You're hiding in the corner anyway."

"I also heard that the two of them made an appointment to go to a guesthouse, hehe."

"Oh, yes, yes, once the greasy-haired and powdered woman asked the tall man to send his wife back to her parents' home so that he could go over and live there."

Naturally, Old Mrs. Jiang didn't believe it all. After all, how could you hear such private words?

The melon-eating aunt immediately pulled her to present the evidence.

It turned out that Guan lived in a large compound, and Gao Hu would go to the dead end behind the compound every time he looked for him.

They thought there was no one there.

There was no one there usually, but the melon-eating lady happened to be the patrol lady of the furniture factory, and she patrolled the factory every day wearing a red armband. One time, she heard voices when she walked to the wall.

As a lively melon-eating lady, she would eat melons whenever she saw them. As long as she heard people talking in a low voice or looked at people with a meaningful look, she knew there must be melons!

Didn't she hear it?

She didn't tell anyone, after all, Guan was a good person, diligent, helpful, and had a good reputation in the factory.

Besides, his wife was a lame, deaf and dumb country girl. The melon-eating aunt sympathized with him and thought he was a man of integrity, so she would not report him.

She also told Mrs. Jiang not to say anything.

But Mrs. Jiang did not lie to her and told her that Gao Hu's wife had cheated on him and that she had an affair with another man and that she was forcing her to die.

"The wife is a primary school teacher. She is fair, honest and quiet. She is also polite. Although she doesn't talk much, she always greets me when I see her."

"You said that if you don't want to live with her anymore, just divorce her. Why do you have to slander the wife? Aren't you trying to drive her to death?"

Although the melon-eating mother had a good impression of Guan, she had a bad impression of Gao Hu, who would twist his buttocks and punch Guan's chest. She always felt that he was a monster.

She analyzed: "Maybe he wants to drive his wife to death and occupy his son?"

There are few people getting divorced these days, and in any divorce, the children basically follow the mother. Only when the mother clearly expresses that she doesn't want the child will the child be left to the father.

From what Mrs. Jiang said, Teacher Yu loves her son very much and has a job to support her son. It is impossible for her to not want the child.

Old Mrs. Jiang was frightened by her bold assumption, "Force Teacher Yu to death?"

She had said before, "Isn't this trying to force someone to death?", but that was just a sentence to express dissatisfaction, not to say that she believed Gao Hu wanted to force Teacher Yu to death. After all,

the two mountains that ordinary people cannot overcome are murder and suicide. Even if he hates it so much that he grits his teeth and curses and swears at people to death, he would not dare to kill people if he was asked to do so, especially since Gao Hu is not the kind of violent, impulsive and reckless man.

A violent and impulsive person may be angry and dizzy, and if he happens to have a weapon at hand, he will swing it without caring, but a normal person will not do that.

Now that the melon-eating lady has given the reason why Gao Hu wants to force Teacher Yu to death, Old Mrs. Jiang is shocked.

The melon-eating mother instantly transformed into Sherlock Holmes, and analyzed with shining eyes: "Look, these two men have been in love for a long time, but they dared not be together openly, so they agreed to get married and have children separately. After their wives gave birth to children, they tried to find a way to divorce."

Old Mrs. Jiang: "The man surnamed Guan doesn't want to divorce, doesn't he have a good relationship with his wife?" Old

Mrs. Eating Melon: "Is it possible that the wife is deaf and dumb, and she can't live without her, so... she turned a blind eye? Maybe she was even an accomplice to the murder. If they were forced to death or divorced by you Teacher Yu, wouldn't it be convenient for that useless guy surnamed Gao to take his son to find Guan all day long? They can live together and there will be a dumb guy to wash clothes, cook and take care of the children, right?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was completely stunned.

She had a heart-to-heart talk with the melon-eating mother, telling her that this was a secret mission of the steel rolling mill committee, and hoped that the mother could be a spy, and she would go back to report to the committee.

The melon-eating mother was overwhelmed with a sense of mission and justice, and readily agreed, willing to secretly monitor them. When

Mrs. Jiang went home and told Jiang Weidong about it, Jiang Weidong was very disgusted.

He was born in the military and was very upright. He couldn't stand such crooked ways and suspected that his mother was deceived.

Mrs. Jiang said that he was not broad-minded enough and made an empiricist mistake. She would tell her daughter-in-law when Lin Xia got home.

Lin Xia was not as disgusted as Jiang Weidong. Instead, she analyzed the situation with her mother-in-law with great interest, and felt that they should be reasonably suspicious and carefully look for evidence.

I don't know if it was influenced by Old Lady Jiang, but once I went to see Gao Hu with the idea that Gao Hu and the man surnamed Guan were having an affair, I felt that he was abnormal.

He was a big old man, and he was not the kind of man who looked petite and delicate, like a woman. He looked like a normal man, with thick legs and arms, and a dark yellow face. It was just that his beard was shaved more frequently and cleaner than other men.

When Lin Xia thought of him pounding another man's chest with his big black fist, and making humming sounds, she felt a little nauseous.

Jiang Weidong actually recorded this information in the investigation file, and of course Lin Xia wrote it for him. He felt disgusted when he wrote it.

After the New Year, everyone was busy, and they had to go back to their hometown, so they suspended the investigation and talked to Gao Hu and Yu Mingming separately.

Jiang Weidong told Gao Hu that there was no problem with Teacher Yu, and Gao Hu had no problem either, but Teacher Yu had already applied for a divorce and didn't want to live with him anymore, so if Teacher Yu still insisted on getting a divorce after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the factory committee would agree to her request.

Gao Hu agreed to the divorce, but insisted on having his son, saying that his son was the seed of his Gao family and couldn't be taken away by a woman of another surname.

If he couldn't give him his son, he would definitely not agree to the divorce.

Nowadays, people are restricted by household registration, work, and letters of introduction, and no one can run away. Jiang Weidong was not afraid that he would hide his son.

Jiang Weidong found Yu Mingming again and told her that she was innocent and had no problems. He also told her that Gao Hu might have problems, but no substantial evidence had been found, so everyone couldn't make a fuss and hoped that she would keep calm.

He decided to put the case aside and close it for the time being, and to investigate it secretly. He would take action again after getting evidence that Gao Hu and Guan were not innocent.

Yu Mingming naturally agreed, and was moved to tears. The factory committee cleared her name, which saved her!

She naturally cooperated with them.

Now that the steel mill has resumed work, Jiang Weidong and his team will naturally continue the investigation.

However, the investigation has been completed on the surface. The problem now is that Gao Hu and Yu Mingming will mediate the conflict between the couple, and whether to choose divorce or mediation to continue.

The pressure was given to Fu Guihua, the director of the Women's Department.

When Lin Xia and Jiang Weidong came, Fu Guihua happened to go to Gao Hu to do ideological work.

Lin Xia asked Lin Shu: "Little sister, do you think there is really something wrong with Gao Hu?"

Lin Shu: "Of course there is a problem. Look at the brothers around who have a good relationship. Who is as clingy as them?"

Except for the spies, no one needs to hide in the corners. They either shout on the street or have a drink in the restaurant.

Even if we are not sure whether the details that the melon-eating lady said are true or not, it is abnormal for the two of them to be so clingy behind Teacher Yu's back.

Lin Shu asked Jiang Weidong: "Brother-in-law, how should we sentence them if it is true?"

Nowadays, the factory committee of a large factory has the power to deal with employees who make mistakes. In-factory education and labor reform, ideological reporting, fines, suspension of salary reduction, etc. are all educational means.

If the situation is very bad, it will be handed over to the public security bureau for sentencing, sent to a labor reform farm for labor reform or shot.

Jiang Weidong's usually gentle and smiling face now had a gloomy expression. "If it's true, it would also be a crime of hooliganism. This also adds an insult to morals, so I guess the punishment should be doubled."

However, the mute girl is a disabled person, and it may be difficult for her to take care of the child by herself. It is possible that the man surnamed Guan can be sent to the factory for labor reform.

Gao Hu... If it is true, he is suspected of maliciously slandering the innocence of his wife and the other male teacher. If he confesses that he really wanted to force the other teachers to death, he must be severely sentenced.

Ten years is the starting point.

It will be noon after chatting about gossip, so Lin Xia will help Lin Shu cook.

Jiang Weidong went to talk to Fang Dihua, Big Brother Lu, Second Brother Lu and others, and brought the order sheet over.

Nowadays, all units in the city basically order sanitary incense from them, and there are also a lot of high-end incense. Mosquito coils have not started yet, but many people order sanitary incense as Buddhist incense.

Although the four olds were destroyed a few years ago, there was no need to engage in feudal superstition, but people's desire and demand for metaphysics cannot be eliminated. Even in the most severe stage, there were people in the countryside who secretly worshiped Buddha and burned incense. Now, after a few years, the policy has changed a lot, and more and more people in the city are burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

Even if you don't burn incense and worship Buddha, don't you still have to worship your ancestors?

Now the demand for sanitary incense in Lujiazhuang has increased greatly, and it has received a lot of orders as soon as it started.

The main reason is that it is cheaper than the machine-made incense sold in legitimate places such as supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores. The quality is the same and the taste is almost the same. No one would be fooled and buy expensive ones, right?

Of course, the sales of machine-made incense are also very good. After all, the production of sanitary incense in Lujiazhuang is limited.

After dinner, Jiang Weidong went to talk to the branch secretary, team leader and other cadres.

The branch secretary and several others praised Jiang Weidong, saying that thanks to his support for the sanitary incense business, the team's income is much better than in previous years.

Electricity, water turbine pumps, etc. can be afforded by themselves, and they don't have to owe a large amount of money for electricity like other brigades.

The secretary smoked the cigarettes Jiang Weidong gave him and said happily, "Everything is going well at the pig farm. Although two pigs got sick during the Chinese New Year, they were isolated in time and everything was fine. Last year, after delivering the quota of pigs to the commune, there were still some members in the village who didn't deliver the pigs that were not weighed enough. They will be ready to leave the pens in two months, and we will send them to your canteen then."

Just after the Chinese New Year, everyone is not so short of money, but it will be different in two months.

When they send a pig to the steel mill (with money), the leaders of the steel mill will have to thank Director Jiang, and they will also be honored. Director Jiang will naturally think of them when he has benefits in the future.

Jiang Weidong thanked them. He had already told the brigade cadres that they would take in all the pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc.

The steel mill, including the workers and their families, was a large factory with 10,000 people. It was really a small society that was self-contained and had a huge demand for all kinds of goods.

Jiang Weidong chatted with them while walking to the pig farm for a tour.

Lin Shu had given breeding advice to the pig farm, which basically adopted an isolated and free-range breeding method. The pigs had a limited range of activities so that they would not consume too much energy, but they could move around appropriately to maintain the delicious taste of the pork.

In the afternoon, Lin Shu packed up her things and asked her second sister and brother-in-law to go back to Linjiatun.

The next day, Jiang Weidong returned to the city with a batch of sanitary incense.

In addition to ordinary fine sanitary incense, there is also a batch of coarse sanitary incense.

Of course, it is specially customized by people who like to burn incense and worship Buddha, and is used for worshiping gods.

The worship of gods mentioned here is not the kind of extraordinary large-scale worship, but the worship of gods covering all metaphysical meanings. There are so many festivals for gods in China, such as the birthday of Guanyin, the day of the god of wealth, Qingming and cold food, etc., all of which require burning incense.

In addition, some people secretly worship Buddha. They don’t need to say that they worship Buddha. Buddha is in their hearts and has no form. They only need to chant mantras when burning incense. They think that this can better show their piety.

Who cares what people think when they light sanitary incense?

After delivering the high-end incense and special sanitary incense outside, Jiang Weidong drove back to the factory.

He carried the factory's toilet paper back to the office, and before he sat down, the head of the security department hurried over to him, "Director Jiang, that kid Gao Hu... is dirty!"

Jiang Weidong's heart moved, and his brows furrowed, "Did you get the evidence?"

The head of the security department: "Yes, because Teacher Yu insisted on divorce, the kid made an appointment with Guan to go to the guesthouse to discuss it. We got the news and followed them quietly, hiding outside the back window of the guesthouse and got first-hand evidence. Gao Hu wanted Guan to help him get his son back. It sounded like if Teacher Yu didn't obey, he wanted to create some accidents for her so that she couldn't raise the child and had to give him to him."

Damn it, it would be better for him and his colleagues to be frozen into a block of ice if he hid there!
