Everyone else left, but Wang Shouquan and Qian Minghua stayed, as well as Sun Daqin, Deng Xingming and Fengchan.
Li Chunhua originally wanted to stay, but Qian Shulan was worried that she would cry and affect her questioning, so she insisted on letting her go back.
Wang Shouquan had never thought that such a thing would happen in their production team. It was too abominable. "Third Aunt, do you know who told the secret?"
Qian Shulan patted his shoulder and said, "They all have hands. Just ask them to write and you will know."
Wang Shouquan's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Qian Shulan shook her head. "Why don't you stay and eat first? I'm hungry."
Wang Shouquan touched his empty stomach and realized that it was already evening. He smiled and said, "I can just go home and eat!"
Qian Minghua looked at Qian Shulan with a worried look on his face, "Aunt, you've been wronged."
Qian Shulan pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry, I will speak well of you when your father comes back from Beijing."
A month ago, Qian Weihan took Zhang Zhaodi and his son to Beijing to visit old friends. They will probably be back in a few days.
Qian Minghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aunt, I'm not worried about my father's blame."
Qian Shulan laughed, "Haha, I was just kidding you. Go back quickly!"
Qian Minghua nodded and left with Wang Shouquan. The two did not want to stay for dinner and insisted on leaving, so Qian Shulan had to make an appointment with them.
After the people left, Qian Shulan turned her head to look at Sun Daqin, "What's going on with that schoolbag?"
Sun Daqin put Fengchan down, walked to the side alley, and shouted, "Come out quickly! Everyone is gone."
Xiao Min slid off Qian Shulan and ran to the entrance of the alley, shouting, "Brother Xiaoyang, please come out quickly."
Yuan Zeyang came out of the alley a little embarrassedly, his face flushed.
Sun Daqin pointed at him and said, "He was the one who asked me to bring it over."
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment, "Why is the schoolbag in your hand?"
Xiao Min grabbed Yuan Zeyang's hand and walked to Qian Shulan. She raised her little face and described vividly, "Grandma, you just asked me to run home and bury the things in my schoolbag. On the way, I met Brother Xiaoyang, and he came back with me. Brother Xiaoyang said he would help me bury it and asked me to look carefully for other books at home. Grandma, you haven't told me why you buried the books?"
Qian Shulan touched her head and said, "Because those bad guys want to snatch your books away, we have to keep them well and prevent them from taking your books away."
Xiao Min pouted, her face full of indignation, "They are so mean."
Qian Shulan calmed Xiao Min down and looked sideways at Yuan Zeyang. She didn't expect this kid to be so capable. She touched his head and asked curiously, "Why did you think of changing the book?"
Yuan Zeyang twisted his fingers and said, "When our house was ransacked before, they searched everywhere for books. They wouldn't stop until they found them."
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment, as if she thought that Yuan Zeyang's parents were both rightists who were sentenced for making inappropriate remarks. Unexpectedly, this gave him inspiration.
Qian Shulan picked up the book on the ground and handed it to him, "This book should be yours, right?"
Yuan Zeyang nodded. This book was Yuan Zeyang's. Qian Shulan had specially asked Wang Lide to buy an extra copy of the textbook.
Fang Zhongjun asked her to take care of the Yuan family's grandfather and grandson. A child this young cannot be left without enlightenment forever, so when Xiao Min started school, Yuan Zeyang also began to learn to read with Lu Minsheng.
But Yuan Zeyang is the grandson of a bad element after all, so his name cannot be written in the textbook.
This actually saved her life, so good people will be rewarded.
Qian Shulan touched his head and asked, "Where are Xiaomin's two books?"
Yuan Zeyang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran into the alley. After a while, he brought back two books, but there was a lot of dirt on them, obviously he had buried them in the ground just now.
Qian Shulan didn't mind the dirtiness and directly opened the book. She saw one page that said "Down with Chairman M", and then several pages were crossed out.
Just based on this, she could be convicted of counter-revolution. There were only her and Xiaomin in this family, and Xiaomin was so young, how could she write such difficult characters
So it must be directed at her.
She believed that she had no grudge against Director Lei, and the other party had just arrived in Liuguan County not long ago. Why did he want to destroy her
Qian Shulan was completely puzzled.
Deng Xingming, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't think of who his mother had offended. He had to make things difficult for her, "Mom, let's be more careful next time!"
Qian Shulan did not answer. This was not something that could be solved by being cautious. The other party wanted to kill her. If she shrank her neck, he would only think that she was afraid of him, which would make him want to kill her even more.
Seeing that her mother-in-law hadn't spoken, Sun Daqin thought that she was frightened, so she asked in a worried tone, "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" She patted Sun Daqin's arm and praised, "You're pretty smart today."
Sun Daqin touched her head and smiled foolishly, "No, Fengchan was led to the back of the house by this kid, and I followed him. At first, when this kid asked me to get my schoolbag, I thought he wanted to make trouble for me." She felt a little guilty, "Then this kid said that his grandfather knew Fang Zhongjun, and I believed it."
Fang Zhongjun hadn't been to the countryside for many years, and the two had never had the chance to meet each other, so when he brought up Fang Zhongjun, Sun Daqin believed it immediately.
Yuan Zeyang pursed his lips and snorted, "I said so much before, but you didn't believe me. If I hadn't been smart enough to think of Grandpa Fang, Grandma Qian would have suffered."
Sun Daqin scratched her head and smiled foolishly, not daring to look up at Qian Shulan.
Qian Shulan didn't blame Sun Daqin. If it wasn't about her, Sun Daqin probably wouldn't be so cautious. Qian Shulan touched Yuan Zeyang's head and said, "Thanks to you today, Grandma Qian will reward you with meat."
Yuan Zeyang's eyes lit up and he looked at her with longing eyes, "Can I bring some to Grandpa?"
Qian Shulan pinched his face, feeling warm inside, "Okay!" and went home with Yuan Zeyang.
After dinner, Yuan Zeyang took the cooked meat and went to the pig farm secretly.
Deng Xingming kept his head down, frowning. It was obvious that what happened today had been quite irritating to him.
Qian Shulan asked Sun Daqin to look after Xiao Min, and she went straight to the educated youth site.
When Qian Shulan arrived at the village entrance, Wang Shouquan and Qian Minghua were waiting there, and they seemed to be discussing something.
Seeing Qian Shulan coming, the two immediately stopped talking.
When the three of them arrived at the educated youth point, it was already completely dark.
There was already a lot of noise in the educated youth center.
"Who wrote the report? Go and turn yourself in quickly, and don't drag everyone down."
Not only did the members of the commune suspect the educated youth, but even the educated youth themselves suspected that it was other educated youth who did it. The reason was very easy to guess, because the report letter was too formal. Even if there were literate people in the village, the report letter they wrote would be full of rustic flavor, not elegant.
"Yeah! Don't hold everyone back!"
Unfortunately, after asking around, everyone said they didn't write it and had witnesses or something like that.
So when Qian Shulan arrived, the educated youth were already in a mess.
Wang Shouquan clapped his hands to get everyone quiet. "I believe everyone knows this. This is the first time this has happened in our production team. In order to keep everyone calm, we must find this troublemaker. To prove your innocence, each of you come over and write a paragraph. I have a sample here, just follow it."
Everyone looked at each other, and someone immediately stood up and said, "Write it! I'm upright, so I don't have to worry about my shadow being crooked."
Qian Shulan glanced at everyone's faces and saw nothing unusual from their facial expressions.
It seems that the other party is confident. Qian Shulan thought for a moment and said, "Write with both hands."
No one had any objection.
After writing, the three of them looked at the words one by one, but found that the font they saw today was not there at all.
Shen Yanhong was anxious, "Have you found it? Tell everyone quickly, so you don't have to take the blame."
Qian Shulan glanced at her. Was she really trying to find the bad guy, or was she just pretending to be innocent? Qian Shulan couldn't tell. Everyone looked like a bad guy to her now. She said to everyone, "You guys go to sleep first."
Even though everyone had a lot of questions, seeing her extremely ugly face, they didn't dare to offend her.
After leaving the chicken farm, the three of them turned to the brigade warehouse and lit the oil lamp.
Wang Shouquan thought for a long time before saying, "I guess he was one of the four people who went to the commune to demonstrate that day."
Qian Shulan handed him the notebook and asked, "Which four are they?"
Wang Shouquan took a pen and ticked out four people.
Just looking at these four fonts, it is hard to tell the difference between a man and a woman because they don't look alike at all.
Qian Minghua crossed his arms and said, "It's really strange. Can the handwriting of this person be so different?"
Qian Shulan stroked her chin and asked Wang Shouquan, "How many people were there on the day of the commune demonstration?"
Wang Shouquan thought about it and said, "About twenty of them came."
Qian Shulan slapped the table, propped herself up on it and stood up, sneering, "It seems these educated youth also have helpers."
Wang Shouquan immediately understood what she meant, "You mean the person who wrote the letter might be an educated youth from another production team?"
Qian Shulan nodded, "What do you think?"
Wang Shouquan gave her a thumbs-up and said, "It's possible!"
Qian Minghua also nodded in agreement. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain. How cunning!
Wang Shouquan immediately said, "Then let's go there tomorrow and ask the educated youth from other production teams to write the characters as well."
Other production teams had to buy chicks from Wangjia Village, and they would never refuse such a small favor. Moreover, in the eyes of these villagers, the educated youth were outsiders, and they were the ones who led them to a good life, so it was not difficult at all.
Qian Shulan was a little embarrassed, "Thank you for running errands."
"Third Aunt, you are so polite."
"Aunt, it's all as it should be."
The next afternoon, the two men came back from outside.
Wang Shouquan's face was full of smiles. She saw him waving at her from a distance, holding up a notebook. "I have good news. There is a male educated youth in the Zhoujia Village production team. His handwriting is exactly the same as the one we saw yesterday."
Qian Shulan took the book he handed over, took a look at it, and nodded, "It's very similar!"
Qian Minghua also came over to take a look and nodded in agreement, "I think so too!"
Qian Shulan pointed out the name of the real person, Shi Zijun!
Once she finds the real culprit, she won’t worry anymore.
Qian Shulan made a special trip to Zhoujia Village, arrived at the educated youth site, and called the people out.
When Shi Zijun saw Qian Shulan, he was completely panicked.
Qian Shulan took the man to a secluded place and said, "It seems that you know me, so you should know why I want to see you, right?"
Her eyes were as sharp as knives, and the wrinkles on her face were scary to look at. Shi Zijun was already feeling guilty, and when he was frightened by her glance, his legs went weak and he trembled all over.
Qian Shulan pulled out a military knife from her cross-body bag. This was given to her by Qian Weihan. I heard that it was used by soldiers when they ate. Of course, it could also be used to kill people. It was very sharp. "If everyone in Zhoujia Village knew that you were the one who wrote the anonymous letter, do you know what would happen to you in Zhoujia Village?"
Shi Zijun lowered his head, not even daring to raise it, and just kept dodging the knife.
Qian Shulan waved the knife in front of him, "Tell me! Who asked you to write that letter?"
Shi Zijun didn't dare to say anything. He kept shrinking his neck and moving his legs to the side, but he didn't dare to really run.
Qian Shulan touched her chin and said, "Don't want to talk? That's fine. Then I'll ask your team leader to assign you a tough job. You may not know that your production team leader and I are also relatives. My in-laws are from this village."
Shi Zijun finally got scared. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something but looked like he didn't dare to.
Seeing his shy look, Qian Shulan glanced at his face with cold eyes. Seeing that she was really going to complain, Shi Zijun quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Wei Jianshe asked me to write this! He has the evidence against me, and I have no choice. Please forgive me!" After saying that, he ran away.
Qian Shulan didn't chase him either. Wei Jianshe? Oh! Great job!
When Qian Shulan returned to the village, she convened a meeting and told everyone about Wei Jianshe's anonymous letter.
Wang Shouquan looked at him incredulously, "You're causing trouble again? I'll deduct another fifty points this time."
Wei Jianshe was still struggling, "Why do you say it was me?"
Qian Shulan raised her chin and said, "You know Shi Zijun, right? Want to find someone to write for you? You are still too young."
After hearing that even Shi Zijun knew about it, Wei Jianshe stopped struggling.
Qian Shulan pinched his chin, her eyes blazing with fire, sinister and terrifying, "Why did you report me? I have no grudge against you!"
Wei Jianshe was very stubborn and refused to speak, keeping his mouth tightly shut.
Qian Shulan couldn't do anything to him, so she loosened her grip on him and said, "You will speak up! As long as you are still in Wangjia Village."
Qian Minghua took two steps forward and said, "I'll punish you by making you dig canals from now on! You can only eat one meal a day."
Then he picked him up and left!
Wei Jianshe wanted to struggle, but he couldn't stand his strength. He could only let him hold his collar, tiptoe on the ground, and walk away unsteadily.
The educated youth hated him. They had finally started to live a good life, but he had caused such a thing. This was a discredit to them! When he was arrested, the educated youth not only did not try to persuade him, but all applauded.
Wang Shouquan glanced at the faces of these educated youths and warned them, "Did you see that? If you dare to write a letter of denunciation again, he will be your example."
The educated youth all lowered their necks and dared not act rashly.
Wang Shouquan said coldly, "Go to the fields and pull weeds this afternoon! You guys just don't do enough work, otherwise you wouldn't be so busy."
The educated youth ran away immediately.
Su Aiguo and Ge Xiaoyun came up to Qian Shulan.
Su Aiguo blushed with embarrassment, "Director, are you okay?"
Qian Shulan shook her head, "I'm fine!"
Seeing that she still dared to talk to him and did not distance herself from him just because of a bad apple among the educated youth, Ge Xiaoyun grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "Director, you are so kind!"
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment, then sighed heavily and patted her shoulder. "In the future, you should work hard! The people in our production team are very nice. They are not stingy. But I'm afraid it's impossible for you to live like the people in the city."
Ge Xiaoyun nodded heavily, "Director, I will work hard."
Qian Shulan smiled at the two of them, "Okay! I'm waiting for you to perform well!"
The three of them talked for a while, and seeing that Qian Shulan looked a little tired, they did not dare to disturb her anymore and immediately said goodbye to her.
When the two returned to the educated youth site, all the educated youth gathered around them and asked, "What did the factory director say? Was she angry?"
Ge Xiaoyun smiled and shook her head, "The factory director is not angry, she is still so gentle."
Su Aiguo tried to comfort everyone, "Yes, she is just like my grandmother, not fierce at all. She was the one who was wronged this time, but she didn't blame us."
Liu Xiuli snorted, "It's none of our business."
When the others heard her, they moved away, as if there was something dirty about her.
Liu Xiuli had never been treated like this before, and her face turned red with shame. "What do you mean by this?"
Shen Yanhong hid behind Kong Qiuyun and whispered, "You went to the commune with Wei Jianshe to cause trouble before!"
Liu Xiuli was choked by her and defended herself uncomfortably, "I was bewitched by him."
Seeing others looking at her with suspicion, Liu Xiuli stamped her feet and said, "I will definitely not do stupid things again in the future, okay?"
Everyone's faces looked better.
Kong Qiuyun said at the side, "The factory director didn't blame us this time, so our life shouldn't be too hard. We can still work at the chicken farm in the future."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
On a winding road, the gentleness on Qian Shulan's face had completely disappeared.
The writer of the letter had already fallen, so how could the real mastermind be dealt with? No matter what the other party's reason was, the target he wanted to deal with was her, so she could only beat the other party into the mud and never get up again.
There is always a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. This time she was lucky. If she had been caught, the other party would have thrown a book into her yard and brought people to search. If she had been at home, it would have been fine. If she had not been at home, she would have been caught red-handed.
So the opponent must be defeated, and defeated severely, so that he can never recover.
The author has something to say: Hmmmm... I need to think carefully about how to fight the bad guys...
