"We can't call the police." As soon as Xu Yongshun heard the word "police," he stepped forward as if he had stepped on a landmine and said, "Comrade soldier, as long as we don't call the police, everything is negotiable."
Xu Guoqiang's temples throbbed. Had the people in the brigade been possessed lately? They were all causing him trouble, one thing after another, without stopping.
Seeing that Xu Dawei was still standing there, he said, "Why don't you hurry up and call Xu Youcai and his family over?"
Xu Dawei ran away immediately.
Not long after, Liu Qingju and her husband Xu Youcai entered the team committee office. When they saw their son, who was half dead, they screamed and rushed over, "What happened? Which bastard beat my son like this?"
"Dazhong, what happened?" Xu Youcai felt like the sky had fallen when he saw his son covered in injuries and his face swollen like a puffed-up peach. "Captain, Party Secretary, who beat my son up like this?"
Xu Youshun glanced nervously at Chen Yu, whose face had changed color, and whispered, "Shut up! Do you know what Xu Dazhong did?"
"What did my son do?" Xu Youcai asked hurriedly.
He was unaware of what his wife and son were doing in secret.
Liu Qingju's heart skipped a beat, and she stopped howling.
"He was being indecent and was caught red-handed by the soldiers." Xu Yongshun felt utterly humiliated.
Liu Qingju's heart pounded. Her son had actually been caught. It was one thing to have failed, and it was another to have been caught, but how could he have been caught by soldiers?
Xu Youcai immediately denied it, saying, "Impossible, my son would never do such a thing."
He knows his son well; he believes the rumors that his son gambles and drinks, but he would never commit thuggery.
“Youcai, I think you should ask your wife about this.” Xu Guoqiang had already noticed Liu Qingju’s unusual behavior.
Xu Youcai looked at Liu Qingju and saw that she was indeed shrinking her neck and looking guilty. He asked, "You wretched woman, what did you and your son do?"
"I...I didn't do anything." Of course, Liu Qingju wouldn't be stupid enough to admit in front of so many people that she was the one who asked her son to follow Li Xiyue, trying to force the issue.
Chen Yu had no patience to argue with these people and said bluntly, "Then let's report it to the police and let them investigate."
Xu Yongshun's eyelids twitched, and he shouted at Liu Qingju: "The soldiers are here, why don't you tell us what happened? Do you really want to call the police and have your son arrested and imprisoned?"
"You wretched woman, speak up!" Xu Youcai also cursed.
Liu Qingju was yelled at by those around her, and when she heard that her son was going to jail, she dared not hide anything anymore. She stammered out what had happened, but she did not say that her son and Li Xiyue had consummated their relationship. She only said that her son liked Li Xiyue and wanted to date her.
"Pah!" Chen Yu didn't believe her nonsense. "If you really want to date a girl, you should treat her with respect. But what did he do? He actually tried to lay a hand on her. If my deputy regimental commander hadn't arrived in time, he might have succeeded."
The cadres' faces were as black as charcoal.
Xu Guoqiang's fists hardened. "Liu Qingju, how dare you make a move on Li Zhiqing!"
Li Xiyue is a benefactor of the production team; the team's selection of advanced workers depends on her. How dare they try to take advantage of Li Xiyue? They're utterly despicable.
"You wretched woman!" Xu Youcai kicked Liu Qingju. "You're going to kill Dazhong and my Xu family! How could I have married such a stupid and vicious woman like you!"
"It was Wang Cuihua who gave me the idea." Liu Qingju was kicked in the chest, and the pain made her eyes roll back.
Yesterday morning, she took Wang Cuihua home to clean her up. Later, Wang Cuihua followed her into the house and said that Li Xiyue was beautiful, rich, and skilled in medicine. She suggested that her son marry her, and their family would have more money than they could spend. They would even save on doctor's fees if they had a headache or fever.
She knew that Li Xiyue looked down on her son, but Wang Cuihua said that she would make her son and Li Xiyue have sex, so that Li Xiyue would have no choice but to marry him.
It's all Wang Cuihua's fault. If it weren't for her bad idea, her son wouldn't have been beaten like this.
Even now, she still tried to excuse herself and her son, saying, "I just really liked Li Zhiqing and wanted her to be my daughter-in-law, that's why I misunderstood..."
"Alright, I'm not buying it." Chen Yu waved his hand to interrupt her performance. "There's a ton of work waiting for me in the disaster area. Tell me quickly how we're going to handle this."
Xu Guoqiang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let them pay some money as compensation."
Xu Dazhong did not succeed; he made them give Li Xiyue some compensation, which would appease her.
“Yes, yes, Li Zhiqing was wronged. Our team committee office will definitely stand up for her and have Xu Dazhong’s family pay her compensation,” Xu Yongshun said.
