When the villagers in the audience heard the branch secretary say that the three women had made mistakes and would be punished, they began to whisper.
Apart from their families, no one spoke up for them. They all felt that these old women were a scourge to the village and should have been punished long ago.
The villagers who had been taken advantage of by them were especially happy, as they had finally gotten revenge. Some even began to applaud loudly, welcoming them to come on stage and make self-criticisms.
Roupaoyan and Youbingtou pushed Fatty out first to make a self-criticism.
The fat wife lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, "Fellow villagers... I... I made a... serious mistake last night. I shouldn't have gone to... the educated youth camp... to take advantage of others and cause such a disaster. I realize my mistake, and I won't dare do it again."
The second person to speak was Zhang Lanhua (puffy eyes). Zhang Lanhua's face was flushed red and she lowered her head, not daring to look at the people in the audience. Li Huandi pinched her from behind and gave her a wink.
Zhang Lanhua glanced at the fat sister-in-law and said, "Family members, last night... I heard the fat sister-in-law say that the educated youth were ordering stewed meat, so I followed them. I didn't mean to cause trouble. I was just easily deceived. From now on, I will definitely... draw a clear line between myself and people with problematic ideas and work hard in the fields. I was wrong."
Finally, it was Li Huandi (Oil-Cake Head). This woman was quite pretentious. As soon as she came up, she burst into tears and complained: "Fellow villagers, last night I heard Fatty say that the educated youth were ordering stewed meat. I couldn't resist the temptation and followed them. I really didn't make the mistake on purpose. From now on, I will also draw a clear line between myself and people with problematic ideas. I will definitely change."
Originally, after the three people had spoken, the old secretary would make a few concluding remarks and warn some restless people, and then the meeting would be adjourned.
As a result, the three of them started arguing on the stage. It turned out that the fat lady thought that the two of them had vicious intentions. It was indeed her who asked the other two to go this time, but those two had also asked her when they went to other people's homes to take advantage of them before.
Now that something has happened, the two are afraid of being affected in the future, so they put the blame on themselves, and become the mastermind and the backward element.
The three of them started to fight with each other, bringing up everything they had done in the past. After a while, they got angry and started cursing at each other.
This was the first time Chu Jingqiu had heard the village women use such a slanging style. Zhang Lanhua scolded the fat woman, "You're the one who always encourages us to take advantage. You're the shameless old sow who eats the most. Look at you, you're as thick as a pot but not as tall as a pot, and you're just a waist except for your butt."
Fatty wasn't to be outdone. She pointed at Zhang Lanhua and said, "You're not taking advantage of me. You're just a Pixiu, taking in nothing. You're worse than a sow. You look at me from afar like green mountains and clear waters, but up close you're baring your teeth. You look even uglier."
Then he pointed at Li Huandi and said, "You are not a good person either. You are like a moldy grape, full of bad water. You are a piss pot with a gold rim, all because of your broken mouth."
Li Huandi simply took action and started pulling the fat woman's hair. The three women started tearing and fighting on the stage.
Du Jianguo's face turned blue with anger. He ordered a group of old women to pull them apart, then angrily said, "These three comrades have a bad attitude in recognizing their mistakes. They will have one month's work points deducted and an additional six months of sweeping the streets and carrying manure as a punishment."
He shouted loudly, "Let's adjourn the meeting." He shook his sleeves and left angrily.
When the three heard that their work points would be deducted, they stopped arguing and sat on the ground in pain, slapping their legs and crying.
After the meeting, the villagers all went to work, and Chu Jingqiu rode his bicycle to work in the village.
On the way, they met Xiao Yang, the village messenger. Xiao Yang saw Chu Jingqiu and said anxiously, "Chu Zhiqing, is your Secretary Du here? The Revolutionary Committee has notified Secretary Du to go to study. I've called many times but no one has answered. This is an urgent notice, so I have no choice but to come here in person."
"Secretary Du was holding a meeting just now, and there was no one at the brigade headquarters. Now that the meeting is over, there should be someone at the brigade headquarters. You should go there quickly!"
"Oh, okay, thank you!" Xiao Yang left in a hurry.
When Chu Jingqiu arrived at the village, he found a bus parked at the gate, with cadres from each village getting on the bus with bags in their hands.
She didn't care and went straight to her office to get the dye, pack up the tools, and then called her assistants to continue working.
When I walked out of the commune gate, I found Gu Wanshan talking to Du Jianguo with a smile on his face. Du Jianguo was also carrying a big bag in his hand. He shook hands with Gu Wanshan and got on the bus.
When Gu Wanshan saw Chu Jingqiu coming, he smiled maliciously and turned away.
Chu Jingqiu raised an eyebrow and snorted disdainfully, then instructed Jiang Jiang with his mind: "Jiang Jiang, from now on, whenever you are in town, you must focus on monitoring Gu Wanshan. And that Li Mengxue as well."
"Qiuqiu, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on him. If there is anything unusual, I will tell you immediately."
Chu Jingqiu always felt that something was wrong today. She made several mistakes when painting the mural. She always had a bad premonition that Gu Wanshan's eyes this morning were provocative. This pervert must have bad intentions.
"Qiuqiu, Gu Wanshan just called Yu Fugui over. The two talked in the office for a long time. Their voices were very low and I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it looked like they didn't discuss anything good." Jiang Jiang's voice rang in Chu Jingqiu's ears.
"Jiang Jiang, can the space surveillance system see inside Gu Wanshan's office?"
"Qiuqiu, there's no privacy in this office. You can see it."
Chu Jingqiu gave his assistant some instructions, then pretended to go to the bathroom. Seeing that there was no one around, he slipped into the space.
She checked the surveillance footage from Gu Wanshan's office and, through playback, discovered that the conversation between Gu Wanshan and Yu Fugui was indeed very quiet. Since she couldn't hear the sound clearly, she zoomed in on the footage and began to watch their lip shapes.
Using her lip reading skills, she knew what the two were talking about.
Gu Wanshan first told Yu Fugui that he had put in a lot of effort to arrange for Du Jianguo to study in another place.
This time he will be away for about twenty days, and the work of the brigade will be temporarily handed over to Yu Fugui, so that Yu Fugui understands the purpose of his doing so.
He wanted to get Zhang Pingping as soon as possible, so he asked Yu Fugui to go back and find a way to arrange it for him so that he could win the beauty as soon as possible.
Yu Fugui was in a bit of a dilemma. Yu Huanxiang had looked for several opportunities to attack Zhang Pingping.
But recently, apart from going to work, Zhang Pingping has hardly ever left the educated youth camp. Even when she goes out occasionally, she is with two or three people, and they can't find an opportunity to take action.
Gu Wanshan told Yu Fugui to find a way to arrange a group activity. He had the medicine, and then he would find an opportunity to take action.
He just didn't believe it. After he broke Zhang Pingping's body and took some photos of her, he would not be able to do anything to her anymore.
Yu Fugui also agreed to go back and think of a solution and make arrangements in the next few days.
