"Wang Zhiqing, what's going on?" Secretary Tang asked with a frown. These educated youths really have too much to do and have nothing to do, so they have to make some noise to be satisfied.
"Captain Li received an anonymous report that Qiao Mo and his group were hunting pheasants in the mountains to eat, which was an encroachment on collective property and an attempt to undermine the socialist cause. He went to the educated youth camp to investigate, but we educated youth were honest and didn't dare to do anything out of line. He didn't even find a single pheasant feather."
"Qiao Mo was furious. This morning, when she was chopping firewood in the mountains, she saw Captain Li bring a wild rabbit back from the mountains. She hadn't heard that he had turned it in, so she reported him by real name for undermining socialism and asked the brigade leaders to investigate." Wu Shudong saw the displeasure on Secretary Tang's face, but he still explained the whole story clearly, telling them that it wasn't them, the educated youth, who wanted to cause trouble, but they were forced to do so.
"What nonsense!" Secretary Tang was so angry he nearly lost his temper. Although he didn't particularly care about the brigade's affairs, he knew about Li Changhe and a few of his henchmen suppressing some educated youth a while ago. He'd thought it was over, but they'd turned violent. What on earth were they trying to do? How long had the village been peaceful? And now they were stirring up trouble again. Weren't they content to disrupt the village?
Accountant Wu didn't say anything, but just looked at Wu Shudong thoughtfully.
After Qiao Mo and his companions invaded the Li family, they put all the members of the Li family under surveillance and did not allow them to touch anything in the house, especially the rabbit stewed in the pot and the piece of hare skin stuck to the wall.
"Qiao Mo, don't go too far." Li Goudan looked at everything in the house, and his finger pointing at Qiao Mo kept shaking.
"Am I going too far, or are you? You're searching our house for no reason." Qiao Mo stood motionless at the kitchen door, looking at her coldly.
"These educated youth are going to force someone to death. Come and see..." After Li's mother tried to go to the kitchen to destroy the body but failed, she sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.
"Oh, so searching other people's homes is to kill them? Then your Captain Li led the team to search our educated youth camp just to kill us? We have no grudges against Captain Li, why did he treat us like this?" Wang Jiaming pointed at Li Goudan and asked sternly.
"No, we are just doing our job..." Li Goudan defended with a red face.
"We are just preserving evidence. We haven't even entered your house, but your mother has wrongly accused us of forcing someone to death. What kind of thing is this?" Qiao Mo looked at him and asked. It was ridiculous that he wanted to restrain her by throwing a tantrum.
The other members of the Li family wanted to fight with Qiao Mo and the other educated youth, but they were all knocked down one by one by Qiao Mo. Although the other neighbors could not stand the educated youth making trouble, they also knew that the Li family had brought today's incident upon themselves. Someone reminded them that after today's incident, they would no longer be able to go hunting in the mountains for food, and they became even more disgusted with the Li family.
"Goudan has nothing to do after dinner. He was going to deal with those educated youth, and now he's coming to deal with himself. He asked for it, but please don't drag us into it." Someone said with a frown.
The team can barely produce two pounds of meat a year. They rely entirely on hunting small game in the mountains to improve their lives. Now that there is trouble, how can they go hunting in the mountains in the future?
"No way? What does this have to do with us?" someone asked in confusion.
"Of course not. Everything in this mountain belongs to the collective, and the prey is also collective property. The team turned a blind eye to it before, but now that it has come out, the team can't just ignore it." The man said with a sneer.
