Bai Wen'an, who works in the town's propaganda department, was also affected.
The incident was triggered by the criticism and struggle session against Secretary Du of the town committee. Secretary Du was Du Heping from the former Daqiao Commune.
The Red Guards asked Bai Wen'an to write a big-character poster about Secretary Du, but Bai Wen'an refused.
When those people saw that Bai Wen'an dared to disobey them, they swarmed him and beat him up.
The group only stopped when Bai Wen'an collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.
Bai Wen'an's injuries were very serious, and he was taken to the hospital by his colleagues after those people left.
Upon hearing the news, Wen Tong rushed to the hospital to see Bai Wen'an.
He was stopped by Bai Xiaoyue as soon as he reached the village entrance and dragged home.
Wen Tong cried and said, "Sister, I want to go see Wen An."
Bai Xiaoyue comforted Wen Tong: "I know Wen An is injured, and I'm very worried about him too."
However, things are really chaotic outside right now, so you can't go out. I'm asking Dad and Yan Ci to go to the hospital to see Wen An.
"Can you please stay home and take good care of the child?"
Wen Tong lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing that Wen Tong hadn't listened at all, Bai Xiaoyue became anxious:
“It’s common for women to get lost these days. If you run off and get into trouble, and Wen’an is lying in the hospital, who will take care of you? Who has the ability to take care of you?”
Wen Tong stubbornly said, "I'm not afraid. If bad guys come, I'll deal with them. They're too lawless."
Bai Xiaoyue earnestly advised:
"You're not afraid, but I am, and Wen'an is afraid. No matter how powerful you are, you can't fight against four hands!"
Wen Tong wept uncontrollably, muttering to herself, "What kind of world is this? There's no reason to listen to anyone."
Yan Ci and Bai's father rushed to the hospital. Bai Wen'an was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, and he was unrecognizable.
The doctor said that Wen'an had a fractured right hand and internal injuries, and needed to be hospitalized for treatment.
Bai Wen'an refused, and asked the doctor to treat and bandage him, then he took the medicine and went home to recuperate.
When Wen Tong returned home, she saw Bai Wen'an's miserable state and hugged him, crying bitterly.
Bai's mother was also wiping away tears, while Bai's father sighed silently.
Bai Xiaoyue was also teary-eyed, and Yan Ci pulled her back to his home.
After arriving home, Yan Ci wiped away his wife's tears before saying:
"Wen'an looks seriously injured, but it's all superficial wounds. His right hand is fractured, but it will heal with rest. Don't worry."
With red eyes, Bai Xiaoyue said, "Now that Wen'an's hand is injured, it's a good time to avoid all this trouble."
Yan Ci didn't know what to say, so he could only hold his wife's hand tightly.
Li Mingyue knew about Bai Wen'an's situation and kept cursing God for being blind and making good people suffer.
Wang Weiguo sighed: "These people are like maggots clinging to bones; once they've got their eye on you, it's hard to shake them off."
Bai Xiaoyue's heart sank to the bottom.
A few days later, Bai Wen'an's facial injuries had almost healed.
He plans to go to the hospital to check on the recovery of his right hand.
Yan Ci and Bai's father accompanied him to the hospital, while Bai Xiaoyue stayed at Wen'an's house to chat with Wen Tong.
Seeing that it was getting late, she was preparing to go home.
Suddenly, a group of teenagers wearing red armbands rushed into Wen'an's courtyard.
The leader was a young man in his twenties, with a refined appearance and wearing glasses.
They rushed in and demanded, "Get Bai Wen'an out here."
Wen Tong stepped forward and asked, "Wen An isn't home. Who are you? What do you need Wen An for?"
The leader's eyes were glued to Wen Tong when he saw her; he circled around her once.
Bai Xiaoyue's heart tightened. She pulled Wen Tong to her side and politely said to the man:
"Bai Wen'an isn't home. I'm his sister. If there's anything you need, you can talk to me."
The man stared at Wen Tong with a sinister look and said:
“He’s not here. He’s married, so let his wife come. It’ll be the same if we go to her.”
Wen Tong looked up: "I am his wife."
The man raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you're Bai Wen'an's wife. Perfect, come back with us and help us investigate Bai Wen'an."
As he spoke, he reached out to pull Wen Tong, but Wen Tong took a few steps back to avoid him, her fists clenched tightly, as if she wanted to fight back.
Bai Xiaoyue quickly hugged her; if this ancestor were to hit the red armband, there would be no way to escape.
The whole family will suffer as a result.
She was terrified and didn't know what to do.
The leading man looked at Wen Tong and Bai Xiaoyue with a cold smile, his eyes like those of a venomous snake.
Bai Xiaoyue felt cold all over.
The man ordered the Red Guards to arrest Bai Xiaoyue and Wen Tong, but Bai Xiaoyue argued her case.
“We haven’t done anything wrong, why are you arresting us? If you’re looking for Bai Wenan, go find him. What does this have to do with us?”
These people don't reason with you at all; whatever the boss says goes.
Several people rushed up to grab the two people. In the struggle, Bai Xiaoyue was pushed to the ground and her head hit the stone slab hard.
Bai Xiaoyue felt a sharp pain in her head and then knew nothing more. Her only thought was, "Why does my head always get hurt?"
Wen Tong rushed to help her up, her hands covered in blood, and cried out desperately, "Sister, sister, wake up!"
In the Yan family courtyard, Li Mingyue held Chang Le tightly, refusing to let go.
The three children also had tears in their eyes. Ping'er held Xiaobai with one arm and An'an with the other.
Chang Le struggled desperately, her eyes bloodshot: "Auntie, let go, I need to protect my mother."
Li Mingyue dared not let go, and with all her might, she hugged Chang Le's waist, hurriedly saying:
"Chang Le, don't worry, your Uncle Wang has gone to find your great-grandfather."
...
Even though Bai Xiaoyue was injured, those people still wouldn't let the two of them go. Wen Tong was furious and wanted to deal with them.
Uncle Bai entered the courtyard, followed by Bai Wenli, Bai Wenyi, Wang Weiguo, and a group of men.
Uncle Bai saw his niece lying on the ground and loudly scolded Little Red Soldier:
"What are you trying to do? Our Red Star Brigade is full of poor and lower-middle peasants."
"I'm the village Party secretary. Tell me what's wrong."
Ye Jianguo also rushed into the yard:
"I am the head of the production brigade. You can talk to me if you need anything."
Seeing that they outnumbered them, the group of bad guys sheepishly argued, "We were just asking."
The man in the lead said, "We came to see Bai Wenan, but he's not home. We'll come back another time."
He glared at Wen Tong a few times, then led his men away in a dejected manner.
Only then did everyone realize that Bai Xiaoyue was unconscious, and Wen Tong quickly carried Bai Xiaoyue onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
Uncle Bai hurriedly instructed his son:
"Wenli, have Old Wang bring the oxcart over to take Xiaoyue to the hospital."
Li Mingyue only dared to release Chang Le after seeing Wang Weiguo.
Chang Le dashed straight to her uncle's house, with Xiao Bai following behind.
Li Mingyue also rushed over.
Chang Le saw Bai Xiaoyue lying motionless on the kang, with blood flowing from her head.
She was terrified. She rushed over and hugged her mother's hand tightly, desperately shouting, "Mommy, Mommy, wake up!"
When Xiaobai saw her sister crying, she also started crying loudly.
As Yan Ci and his companions approached the courtyard gate, he noticed a large number of people in Wen An's courtyard, which puzzled him greatly.
Upon seeing Uncle Bai, they hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle, you're here! Why don't you come inside?"
Upon hearing Yan Ci's voice, Chang Le immediately rushed out and shouted:
"Uncle Yan, come quick! Mom is injured and bleeding a lot."
