There are too many people coming here to watch the fun today, at least several hundred people.
Chen Jiaojiao took Jiang Baige to find her mother. It was safest to be with adults at this time.
When Zhou Xiuying left, she asked her daughter to stay at home, and she made lunch before she went back home.
I didn't expect that my daughter would follow me just after I arrived.
"Hey, girl, why are you here too? Didn't I tell you to stay at home?"
Fighting against bad guys is quite violent, and she doesn't want her daughter to get involved in such things.
Jiang Baige also called out, "Auntie."
Zhou Xiuying smiled at her and said, "Since we're here, you two should stay at the back and don't go forward. Be careful not to get stepped on."
Jiang Baige pulled Chen Jiaojiao and nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand."
Several bad guys were surrounded by the crowd. Jiang Baige couldn't see them even when she stood on tiptoe, but the hats on their heads were still very conspicuous.
As soon as the organizer in the crowd shouted a slogan, everyone followed suit.
"Down with them, they are all bad elements."
These people vented their anger and injustice towards the people in the crowd.
They believe that if it weren't for these bad apples, they wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
The villagers don’t care why they were sent here. As long as they are labeled as having questionable origins, that is their biggest sin.
There was chaos in the crowd, and some people were shouting that they wanted to beat them to death.
"Kill them, kill them."
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Alright, alright, the higher-ups didn't order us to beat anyone to death."
Two of the five bad guys in the crowd were knocked unconscious.
"They're lucky today. Send them back! Don't beat them to death here. It's bad luck."
A man's voice came, his tone full of indifference.
Soon the crowd made way for them, and a group of people dragged a few people away from the threshing floor.
Behind them were many people who came to watch the fun, and they left in a large crowd.
Someone in the crowd murmured, "Oh! That's too bad! He was dragged out for struggle sessions twice a month. His scars probably haven't healed yet, and he's already got new ones."
"That's right! You're already here, why are you still being so stubborn? Just confess your mistakes and save yourself from getting beaten up in vain."
Several women clicked their tongues when they saw the person being dragged away from them.
"Ouch! That's too tragic."
A man next to them said, "They are not miserable at all. They used to have good food and drink. Their life was much better than yours."
"If you have the time to pity others, you should pity your own children! A bunch of women are so bored."
After being scolded by the man, the women shut up.
Jiang Baige took a look through the gap at the people who were dragged away. There were three men and two women. Two of them were quite old. They were all beaten with bloody heads. It was indeed a miserable sight.
It seems that they came a little late, and the criticism and denunciation session was over.
Judging from their situation, it may have started at dawn, otherwise they wouldn't be beaten like this.
When Zhou Xiuying saw their expressions, she also clicked her tongue a few times.
"Oh my god, how pitiful! I'm afraid he's half dead."
Chen Jiaojiao is short and can only jump up to see. There is no way to make her short!
If you don't jump, you can't see it at all.
Jiang Baige asked, "Auntie, what did these people do wrong? Why are they being criticized like this?"
Zhou Xiuying didn’t know the specific situation, but since he had been sent to the brigade, the crime should not be serious.
If he had committed a serious crime, he would have been sent to a labor farm long ago.
An aunt nearby heard them talking and explained their doubts to them.
"This family! I heard the two older ones are university professors."
"The whole family is intellectual. The two sons seem to be high school teachers, and the daughter-in-law is also a teacher."
As she spoke, she shook her head and said, "It's pitiful for the children in their family. They have to suffer here and are so skinny from hunger."
The fact that this lady could say such things shows that she must not be a bad person.
Zhou Xiuying also sighed after hearing this.
"That's quite pitiful. I don't know what I did wrong. Sister-in-law, do you know?"
The woman whispered in her ear, "My husband said he offended someone, but we don't know the circumstances, so we'll just keep it to ourselves."
Jiang Baige and Chen Jiaojiao were listening quietly at the side.
If you really offend someone and your whole family is taken down, that would be miserable.
However, it is not easy to be a good person at this time. Often, the barking dogs will continue to rise, stepping on the honest people to climb up.
Jiang Baige asked, "Auntie, where do these people work?"
She thought that given the background of these people, there would be no good place for them to live.
The old lady replied, "They live in the cowshed at the foot of the mountain. They are not from a good background, so they are lucky to have a cowshed to live in."
Chen Jiaojiao whispered in Jiang Baige's ear: "Live in the cowshed! It stinks."
Jiang Baige really didn't know what a cowshed smelled like, but she knew the smell of a pig farm.
They are all used for raising livestock, so they are probably not good places.
At this time, a large number of people came to watch the fun, and there were only a few people left in the threshing ground.
The old lady realized that these people looked quite unfamiliar.
Asked: "Big sister, which village are you from?"
Zhou Xiuying immediately smiled and said, "I'm from Chenjia Village. I heard there was something exciting going on here, so I came here."
The old lady thought to herself, you guys are quite well-informed.
Sun Zhaodi and the others who were not far away also came over, "Xiuying! We are getting ready to go back, what about you guys?"
Zhou Xiuying responded, "Let's go! Let's go back and make lunch."
As she spoke, she said to the elder sister in front of her, "Let's go back."
Jiang Baige and Chen Jiaojiao also waved to the lady in front of them.
When they were about to go back, Jiang Baige saw someone she knew.
"Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"
The person Jiang Baige saw was the uncle who gave them a ride on the way to the county town last time.
Uncle Zhao also saw the little girl in front of him and smiled instantly.
"Hey! Girl! What's going on? Come over and watch the fun!"
Zhou Xiuying heard them talking and turned around to ask.
"Comrade Jiang, you know him."
Jiang Baige nodded. "I met this Uncle Zhao a few days ago. He even took Grandma Meng and me to town."
So that’s how it is. Zhou Xiuying didn’t ask any more questions.
Uncle Zhao said, "Last time I told you to come to my house if you were passing by. What's up? Now you're already at my doorstep, come on over and sit down!"
Jiang Baige didn't know whether she should go and sit there. So many people saw it. If she left with a man, would they gossip about her when they returned?
