Chapter 138 Shooting Yourself in the Foot
"Brother Run is right. If that weren't the case, Goudan wouldn't have gone to the educated youth camp to search." Someone else echoed, "Qiao Zhiqing wouldn't have turned the tables and reported Goudan by his real name."
"They are so nosy. They don't do anything else but care about these bullshit things." Some people became upset when they heard that their interests would be affected.
"The same goes for Qiao Zhiqing. It would have been fine if they didn't find anything, but why did they have to turn the tables? It wouldn't have done her any good to bring such a thing up." Some people thought that Qiao Mo was meddling too much.
"The educated youth's site has been targeted by Goudan. They can no longer go hunting in the mountains. He was going to take a few people with him, and then she saw Goudan bringing wild rabbits. How could she let him go? He is not a fool. He doesn't know how to resist when being bullied." Someone retorted that since the last incident, the people in Dongshan Village had experienced the power of the educated youth and would not treat them as fools.
"Well, if it were me, I would do the same. If I can't eat it myself, I won't just sit there and watch others eat it. So, no one should eat it." Someone nodded.
"Qiao Mo is the descendant of a martyr, how could she not have any blood? Li Goudan treats her as a soft persimmon and wants to use her to establish his authority. He is really blind." Some people became anxious when they thought that they would not be able to go up the mountain to hunt for snacks in the future.
"After all, it's still Goudan's fault. I don't know why, but the team leader suddenly disliked the educated youth." Someone echoed.
"It's all because of Li Xiaomei. That person was crazy about wanting a man. She threw Chu Zhiqing into the water and held him tightly, not allowing him to get up. She thought she could get him a rich son-in-law. But Chu Zhiqing is not a pushover. He would rather bleed profusely than listen to their orders." Someone said disdainfully.
"I heard that Chu Zhiqing gave the Li family 200 yuan, emptied their savings, and left them with a mountain of debt..."
"We made two hundred yuan in this one swoop, which is enough for our family's income for several years. The Li family is really calculating..." Someone suddenly realized.
"You've gone off topic. The most important thing now is to find a way to keep this matter under wraps in the village. Otherwise, we'll have no meat to eat in the future." Someone got anxious when they saw that the matter was going off topic, and quickly changed the subject.
"What can we do?" Someone waved his hands to indicate that he was powerless.
When the people around heard this, their eyes changed when they looked at the Li family and the militiamen: If they hadn't been so nosy as to provoke these educated youth, why would they have made such a fuss? How would it affect their future lives?
Then, several people who were eager to try suddenly quieted down and looked at the man who was called Brother Run.
"Brother Run, you've always had a lot of ideas since you were young, and you've been out and about a lot these past few years, so you've seen a lot of people. Could you help me come up with a solution?" someone asked. "If we really can't go into the mountains to hunt anymore, the children and the elderly won't be able to bear it."
"Let the brigade appease those educated youths and ask them not to escalate the matter and try to resolve it within the brigade." Brother Run thought for a while and said.
The crux of the matter lies with the educated youth. As long as they don't make a big deal out of it, the leaders of the brigade will definitely find a way to suppress it in the village.
"Brother Run makes sense." Everyone agreed with this idea.
When Secretary Tang, Accountant Wu, and the others came over, they saw several educated youths confronting Goudan's family. "What on earth is going on?"
"Secretary Tang, Accountant Wu, I'm reporting Captain Li by real name for undermining socialism. He hunts wild rabbits in the mountains to eat. The evidence is in his kitchen." Qiao Mo walked over and pointed at the steaming pot of rabbit meat in their pot and the fresh wild rabbit skin hanging on the wall.
"Comrade Li Changsheng, what on earth is going on?" Secretary Tang asked after looking at the rabbit meat in the pot and the rabbit skin on the wall.
