The alley was filled with the sound of three people's footsteps.
Yu Sui waited quietly in the space.
About ten minutes later, three people came running over and asked each other for information.
"No one! Did you see who it was?"
"I didn't see anyone, what happened?"
"There's no one here. It's impossible for someone to hide so quickly. There's only one way out."
"Strange! Isn't it a photo?"
"I don't think it's about taking pictures. Who among us has a camera? The county supply and marketing department can't even get a quota for a camera, so how can we get one?"
After a few people discussed it, they finally comforted themselves that it couldn't be a camera. After some false politeness, Meng Guangzhi reluctantly took a bottle of fake Maotai, and then they said goodbye.
Yu Sui used her consciousness to explore the space and found that there was no one nearby, so she left the space and went home.
Two days later, Comrade Tang Zhengyi, deputy of the People's Armed Forces Department of the Revolutionary Committee of the Communist Party of China, received an envelope containing several photos and a letter of denunciation.
He recognized all three people in the photo: Meng Guangzhi and the supply and marketing manager, Wu, and his wife. They were all smiling broadly, holding two bottles of wine as they bid farewell.
Although the photo is black and white, you can still tell it was night time and the lights at the door were still on.
The contents of the report were even more explosive: Meng Guangzhi took advantage of his position to accept bribes, sell out the results of his superiors' investigations, fabricate false documents, and shield criminals who slandered active military personnel.
"Haha! A pillow is given to you when you are sleepy!" Tang Zhengqi laughed a few times, put the letter and the photo in the bag, and sent it to the county's People's Armed Forces Department overnight.
For his own future, he must bring Meng Guangzhi down this time.
Yu Sui just needs to wait quietly at home.
A week later, Secretary Zou of the brigade came to ask her to go to the brigade headquarters, saying that someone from the county came to investigate her marriage with Xia Linbei.
Yu Sui brought the wordless notebook that she had taken from Yu Qiu's house last time.
The man from the county was wearing a tweed suit with four pockets. He stood straight and had a very serious face. He was worthy of the word "righteous".
Secretary Zou introduced, "Yu Sui, this is Director Shen from the County People's Armed Forces Department. Tell Director Shen about your marriage to Xia Linbei."
Yu Sui pretended to understand nothing: "What's wrong? We just had a few tables of wine, and one person scolded us, another threatened us, and now we have to tell the county leaders about this. What's the logic behind this?"
Director Shen, who was full of righteousness, immediately asked, "Who scolded you? Why are you threatening me? What's the matter?"
Yu Sui: "My cousin Yu Qiu first said that I was not worthy of marrying Xia Lin'er, saying that I was not yet of marriageable age. She wanted to report me and prevent Xia Lin'er from becoming the company commander. I said we were just hosting a few tables of wine, but she said that she had a very powerful relationship with my family. As long as she reported me, it didn't matter whether I hosted a wine party or not. Xia Lin'er and I would have no life anyway."
Director Shen frowned deeply: "Yu Qiu, is she Xia Lin's classmate? Her surname is Wu?"
Yu Sui: "Yes, her family members are high-ranking officials, we can't afford to offend them."
Director Shen: "Don't be afraid. No one can slander others casually. What is your relationship with Yu Qiu?"
"We are cousins."
"Has the relationship always been good?"
"It's not a matter of whether she's a good person or not. The main thing is that Yu Qiu has psychological problems. She once stole money from the production team, and Secretary Zou knew about it. She's always cursing this and that, and doing things in a sneaky way. Look, she wrote in a notebook, and I don't know how she covered up the handwriting, so there's only her own name."
Yu Sui said this and took out Yu Qiu's notebook.
Director Shen quickly picked it up, flipped through it curiously, and his expression became more serious: "Where did you get this?"
Yu Sui: "I picked it up. She and her brother had a fight, and her brother burned her things, but this one didn't burn, so I picked it up."
"Are you sure it's Yu Qiu's handwriting?"
"It's Yu Qiu's anyway."
Director Shen nodded and put the notebook away. "I need her handwriting to check it. Let me keep this for now."
Yu Sui raised her eyes and asked innocently, "Oh, Director Shen, I've reported her here. Her family has so many connections, they won't turn around and arrest me, right?"
Director Shen's serious face relaxed a little: "Don't worry, she is suspected of bribing her mother-in-law to protect her, and the matter is under investigation."
"Oh, will she fall?"
"As long as those who accepted bribes confess, they will fall."
"Okay, then I'm relieved."
Yu Sui returned home happily, preparing some portable food to take to the north while waiting for the outcome of this matter.
After waiting for a long time, I finally received Xia Lin's letter.
When Xia Lin knew that Yu Sui was willing to stay in the north for a month, she was so happy that the words were jumping on the letter paper.
He said that he was worried about Yu Sui going out alone, so he would specially ask his retired comrades to help buy a train ticket and take Yu Sui to the train station.
Besides that, the letter was filled with numerous warnings and instructions about how to be careful on the road, like an old father instructing his daughter, with countless "what ifs": What if someone offers you water, you must not drink it; what if someone approaches you, you must not trust their words; what if...
Yu Sui seemed to see Xia Linbei's mouth close to her ear, chattering non-stop.
Alas, you are so worried, why didn’t you tell me not to go?
Really.
The day after receiving the letter, a dark-faced man in his twenties came to the factory and introduced himself as Ma Yingxiong, a driver in a large factory in the county. He gave Yu Sui a sleeper ticket and said that he would pick her up by truck the day after tomorrow afternoon and take her to the train station.
truck?
It’s such a grand event!
Yu Sui felt both amused and warm-hearted.
Taking a train is really nothing for someone like her who traveled frequently in her previous life, but Xia Linbei takes it so seriously.
It’s also someone’s intention!
Sun Yuying and Yu Haichao were also worried.
Sun Yuying even exaggeratedly said that she couldn't sleep at all at night, worried that something might happen to Yu Sui while she was away on a long trip.
Only Yu Cheng was extremely envious: "Sister, you can ride the train, that's so cool! I want to ride the train when I grow up!"
Amidst the excitement of her family, Yu Sui packed two large sacks of things. Sun Yuying helped carry them and took Yu Sui to the brigade headquarters to wait for Ma Yingxiong's truck to pick her up.
There is a flat area in front of the brigade office where trucks can turn around.
Yu Sui and her mother stood at the edge of the field, constantly looking into the distance to see if there were any cars approaching.
Sun Yuying looked very happy, and after watching for a while she muttered to Yu Sui:
"Life is really getting easier and easier. The team held a meeting yesterday and said that we'll be distributing dividends to everyone when we get to celebrate the 20th anniversary. In addition to work points from the fields, there will also be money for setting up the factory. Oh, they said it will be distributed per person, so each person will get three yuan, plus meat and rice. Oh my god, I was just worried that we wouldn't have money to buy meat when we got to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Isn't this a blessing for us? Everyone is so happy! It's a pity that you weren't at home for the 20th anniversary and didn't see the distribution of money. But you did go there to celebrate the 20th anniversary, and when you saw Xia Lin, you had to be nice to him. Remember, you are his wife now, and you belong to him!"
