After confusing Naonao and Tengteng, Qiao Yu tried to randomly choose one as the leader. Xiaoman slapped her and said, "You're morally deficient and unfit to practice medicine." Later, Commander Huo transferred Qiao Yu to a local post. Qiao Yu always felt that Xiaoman had driven her away.
Qiao Yu joined the movement as soon as it started. Because of her boldness and initiative, she was promoted to deputy director a few days ago. After becoming deputy director, Qiao Yu wanted to settle scores with Xiao Man.
After the meeting, the director looked at the others and said, "Does anyone else have anything to say? If not, the meeting can be adjourned."
Qiao Yu: "Director, I suddenly remembered something."
"you say."
"Director, in the past two years, we've gone through the city, the township, and the village. Those who needed to be approved have been approved, those who needed to be struggled against have been struggled against, and those who needed to be reformed have been sent for reform. But there's one place we've forgotten."
"Oh? Which place did we forget?"
Qiao Yu looked at the others: "Military Region."
The director was taken aback. He thought to himself: This Qiao Yu is really audacious, actually trying to extend her reach into the military region.
Everyone else was also taken aback.
A thought to himself: We haven't forgotten, we just dare not.
Yi thought to himself: Is this woman crazy?
Bing thought to himself: I heard that her uncle is a division commander. Could it be that... her uncle wants to use them to seize power from the commander?
Ding thought to himself: It seems someone in the military region has offended her. He knew that Qiao Yu used to be a nurse in the military region.
...
Seeing that everyone was silent, Qiao Yu continued, "My uncle is a division commander in the military region. I heard from my aunt that the wife of a brigade commander in the military region behaves exactly like the wives of warlords in the past. Not only does she keep horses at home, but she also employs a cook. That lady spends all her time riding around on horseback. She doesn't even go to work at the clothing factory that the military region opened. She just stays at home all day being waited on. Comrades, how can someone like that be worthy of being a soldier's wife?"
The director glanced at Qiao Yu and thought to himself: Is this woman trying to gain merit or steal someone else's husband? If she gains merit again, should I step down?
A thought to himself: If even the military region leaders don't care, why should you?
Yi thought to himself: So she was just jealous of others.
Bing thought to himself: See? It was her uncle who was behind this. The commander isn't even doing anything about it? This commander is utterly incompetent.
Ding thought to himself: So it was the brigade commander's wife who offended her.
...
Seeing that no one spoke, Qiao Yu asked again: "Comrades, what do you think? How can someone who is greedy for pleasure and averse to work be a soldier's wife?"
Bing wanted to agree, but seeing that the director hadn't spoken, he remained silent.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Qiao Yu asked the director, "Director, do you think what I said is right?"
Director: "You're right. However, this woman has a special status, so we shouldn't act rashly. How about this, I'll report this to the higher authorities."
Qiao Yu didn't want to wait: "Director, this woman's behavior is clearly bourgeois."
A thought to himself: "The director is still the most rational. Do you think you can just mess with military dependents like that?"
Yi thought to himself: You also want to live this kind of life, don't you?
Ding thought to himself: Luckily I didn't say anything just now.
Bing thought to himself: This brigade commander's wife is doomed. No one who gets targeted by Qiao Yu ends up well.
The director looked at Qiao Yu: "I know. Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'll let everyone know when the higher-ups give instructions." The director looked at the others: "Does anyone else have anything to say? If not, the meeting is adjourned."
No one else said anything, and the director told everyone to disperse.
A few days later, the director sent Qiao Yu and her men to the countryside.
More than a month later, Qiao Yu returned.
As soon as Qiao Yu returned, she asked the others if the director had taken anyone to the military region. After learning that he hadn't, Qiao Yu went to the director's office.
After reporting on her work, Qiao Yu brought up the matter again: "Director, about that thing I mentioned to you last time?"
"What's up?"
"It's about that brigade commander's wife."
"That matter? I reported it to my superiors. They said it's not the right time yet."
"Not the right time?"
"Okay. By the way, I have something I need a female colleague to do. You can take some people and do it."
Qiao Yu was sent out again by the director as soon as she returned.
On the other side, after dinner, Han Dashan called Han Gui into the house: "Eldest brother, go tell Binzi and Xiaoman that Dad is alright."
Han Gui was a little surprised: "I'm going?"
"Hmm. This matter can't be explained in a few words. If it weren't for Han Yong and the others, Dad would definitely have suffered. And the village chief, if that director hadn't died, the village chief would have led the whole village to confront him. Go and talk to Binzi and Xiaoman, and tell them to remember the good they did for him."
"Okay. I'll go."
Han Dashan took a drag of his cigarette: "Also, Da Bao and Da Ni should be back soon, right?"
Han Gui frowned when this was mentioned: "Maybe. They've been gone for quite a while now."
“The school is in chaos right now, and those two are about to graduate. Go ask Binzi if he can arrange a couple of jobs for Da Bao and Dani. If they don’t have jobs, they might just go and cause trouble with those guys.”
Han Gui also wanted to find jobs for Da Bao and Dani. Both his daughters were high school students. "Okay. I don't want them to become Red Guards. I always felt that wasn't the right path."
"By the way, mention Hu Niu to Xiao Man again. Hu Niu is a nice girl."
Han Gui looked at Han Dashan: "You want Binzi to arrange a job for her too?"
"You can mention it to Xiaoman. If Xiaoman wants to, she'll tell Binzi. If she doesn't, then forget it."
"I understand. When should I go?"
"Go ask the village chief for leave tomorrow. If he agrees, go the day after tomorrow. Your mother made a lot of shoes for Binzi's children, so bring them with you when you go."
"good."
The next day, Han Gui spoke to the village chief. The village chief thought for a moment and said, "Okay. But, could I go with you?"
Han Gui was taken aback: "You want to come with me?"
"Okay. Go back and tell your father I'll go see him tonight."
"good."
When Han Gui returned at noon, he told Han Dashan. Han Dashan immediately understood; the village chief probably wanted to see Lao Shang.
That evening, the village chief arrived after finishing dinner at home. After sitting down, Han Dashan poured the village chief a cup of tea. Since it was just the two of them in the room, the village chief went straight to the point: "Dashan, didn't you say last time that Binzi knew someone who warned you not to leave the village? I want to go and meet that person."
"What's wrong? Is something wrong at home? You know, we can't talk about this right now."
"No. A few days ago, I went to town and brought a few people back, right? When I brought them back, I asked them about them. Some of them are professors, and some are doctors who came back from abroad. The higher-ups said they were sent down for reform. They even told me to arrange for them to live in the cowshed. Although I arranged for them to live in the cowshed as they requested, I still feel uneasy. Binzi has seen a lot outside and knows people like that. I want to go and ask them what we should do about this."
Han Dashan took a drag of his cigarette: "I can't figure this out either. Those people are all capable, so why did they come to a place like ours?"
"Absolutely. We're just farmers, what if we offend someone..."
"Yes. We're just farmers, so it's best not to offend anyone if we can avoid it."
