"Shut up, don't say anything," Zhu Heping shouted at Zhao Guohua, who kept babbling on.
This guy is clearly up to no good; he's trying to mislead everyone.
Zhao Guohua opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to utter a sound.
Zhu Heping said to Li Xiyue, "Comrade Li, please continue."
Li Xiyue then recounted the events of the previous night: "The mother's water broke, and it was a reversed pregnancy, so the situation was extremely critical. The team leader led a few of us to take the mother to the health center overnight, but on the way, the mother suddenly went into labor... Later, the baby started to suffocate, but fortunately, we managed to save the baby in time."
"Comrade Li, you have saved the lives of both the mother and the child. This is another great achievement." Kuang Zhilin gave a thumbs up.
Zhu Heping looked at Xu Guoqiang with excitement, "Comrade Guoqiang, this female comrade in your team is amazing! She can catch enemy agents and also treat patients. She is truly a woman who is just as capable as any man!"
"Yes, leader, I also think that Li Zhiqing is really amazing. A few days ago, she even rescued an injured ox and saved the production team from losses. Everyone in our production team is very grateful to her," Xu Guoqiang said with a proud look.
Li Xiyue smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the captain's excellent leadership."
Xu Guoqiang smiled broadly. This child is so sensible, knows how to speak and behave, and is also very capable. Who wouldn't like such a child?
Sigh, they're always other people's kids. Why don't I have such an outstanding child?
Zhao Xiaoli clenched her fists, her teeth itching with hatred. How could this happen? Just when she was about to bring down Li Xiyue and those corrupt officials, things took another turn, which was infuriating.
Zhao Guohua hadn't expected this. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I didn't know it was like this. I just arrived yesterday. I thought..."
"Do you think you can just say whatever you want just because you think so?" Xu Yongshun said angrily. "Li Zhiqing is a heroine who helped the police catch enemy agents. Is she that kind of person with questionable character? Are the cadres of our team committee the kind of muddleheads who can't distinguish right from wrong?"
Xu Guoqiang wanted to punch him. "You ruined Li Zhiqing's reputation in front of the two leaders and even framed the team committee cadres. Do you know what bad consequences this will bring to the production team? Fortunately, the two leaders are reasonable and can distinguish right from wrong. They did not believe your nonsense."
Zhu Heping was very pleased and said with his head held high, "How could we doubt a good comrade who caught enemy spies for the country and the people?"
“That’s right. How could a comrade who can protect the country and its people be a bad person with questionable character?” Kuang Zhilin also said.
Li Xiyue felt grateful and said, "Thank you for your trust, leader."
Fortunately, these cadres were all intelligent and did not listen to biased opinions. If she had encountered a fool who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, she would probably have had to waste a lot of time arguing with him today.
"Don't worry, Li Zhiqing. You saved the ox and the woman in labor. I will report back and you will be commended again."
Zhu Heping looked at Zhao Guohua with displeasure, "As for this educated youth Zhao who framed a good comrade without distinguishing right from wrong, Captain Xu, I'll leave him to you to deal with."
Xu Guoqiang readily agreed and, along with the other cadres, saw the two leaders off.
As soon as the others left, the villagers pointed at Zhao Guohua and started spitting and cursing. Zhao Guohua was almost drowned in spittle, but he had to grit his teeth and endure the villagers' barrage of insults.
When the cadres returned, they discussed how to deal with Zhao Guohua, making him pay compensation to those he had framed.
Li Xiyue was the first victim and was compensated 10 yuan. The second victims, Xu Guoqiang and Xu Yongshun, were each compensated 5 yuan. The third victims, Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui, were each compensated 2 yuan.
In addition, he was also to be sent to the cowshed to carry manure with Zhao Xiaoli.
Zhao Guohua was unwilling to go to the cowshed, so he took out ten yuan and gave it to the team committee office, hoping to pay the fine instead.
After discussion, the team committee decided to exempt him from the punishment of living in the cowshed, but he would still have to carry manure.
Zhao Guohua secretly groaned. This time, his attempt to steal a chicken had backfired, and he had ended up losing money instead. Wasn't this like digging his own grave?
This delay meant it was time to go to work, and the villagers all went to the fields to work. Zhao Xiaoli was furious and left in the crowd.
While Zhao Guohua was still reeling from the stupid thing he had done, Xu Xiangyang silently came to his side, covered his mouth with one hand, grabbed his collar with the other, and carried him into the office like a chicken.
He slammed the person to the ground and, without saying a word, began punching them repeatedly.
