The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 113: Believe in Ghosts or People
At night, Jiang Cheng sat on a fertilizer bag in the carriage and smoked.

In this day and age, there are some jokes that really shouldn't be made. For example, when the female art soldiers were making fun of the situation today, Jiang Cheng shouldn't have also joked that he was not married.

In this era, in addition to blind dates, colleagues will also tease and joke about two people who are more compatible. It's just that the female arts soldiers are more outgoing, so they teased when they first met.

Jiang Cheng just thought that the art soldier named Zheng Ke was really pretty, so he just played along and made a joke. If he hadn't said that he wasn't married, how could he have taken her home as a joke?

But before the female artist started to make fun of him, she asked him if he was married, and then she said the following words. Jiang Cheng couldn't say he was not married just for the sake of joking, which could be said to be a lack of sense of propriety in this era.

Jiang Cheng thought it was just a chance encounter and he was leaving tomorrow anyway.

But just now they ate a bowl of noodles in the female art soldiers' dormitory, which were the noodles that Zheng Ke had saved herself. They also performed some programs in the dormitory to thank Jiang Cheng again for sending them back to the art troupe.

Jiang Cheng couldn't stay in the female dormitory for too long, it was an exception. Zheng Ke was the one who sent him out of the dormitory, and when Jiang Cheng was about to leave, Zheng Ke had the audacity to ask him for his address, saying that she wanted to write him a letter.

Women of this era are conservative, but they will also be bold when they meet someone they like.

This also reminded Jiang Cheng of a report he had seen in his own era. In 1959, a soldier from another place who had a wife in his hometown fell in love with a local girl. She confessed her love to the soldier many times, but even though the soldier said he had a wife in his hometown, the girl didn't care.

The soldier had no choice but to apply for demobilization. But the girl sued him, saying that the soldier had slept with her, and he was imprisoned for ten years.

Ten years later, his parents were long gone, his wife had also run away, and the soldier found an isolated island to live out his life. The soldier said that he would go wherever there were ghosts, because he couldn't explain his grievances, and perhaps only by finding ghosts could he prove his innocence.

A person lives on an isolated island because people say there are ghosts on the island, but those who want to find ghosts never find them in their lifetime.

Jiang Cheng was also afraid of such a scenario, and he thought about whether he should trick a girl into being his lover. After all, as a Didi driver, he was indeed a lecher.

But Jiang Cheng found that he seemed unable to do it. He always thought that he was a fun person and he often talked with some colleagues about which products were affordable and of good quality.

But when Zheng Ke asked Jiang Cheng for the address, Jiang Cheng actually felt like he was betraying Zhou Lingying. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, as if he had never seen himself clearly.

Jiang Cheng did not tell Zheng Ke his address in Changcheng. After returning to the car, he felt a little ridiculous. He thought he could easily take down Zheng Ke. If he could go back to his past, he would brag to others. He had taken down a little girl who had never had sex before.

But now Jiang Cheng himself can’t see clearly what kind of person he is. He feels that different times will baptize a person.

Changcheng, Nanluoyuan.

It was a quiet night and everyone basically turned off the lights and went to bed around nine o'clock.

Suddenly, shouting and cursing were heard in the front yard, waking up many people who had just fallen asleep.

Zhou Lingying didn't turn on the lights in the room. When she heard the shouting and cursing, she hid at the door and watched.

I felt a little panicked inside. As expected, because I didn't explain clearly to Feng Hua, the situation was a little different from what Zhou Lingying thought.

Zhou Lingying originally wanted Feng Hua to put some feces and urine on the ground in front of Li Meihong's house. That way, the door would at most smell a little bit. After flushing it a few times and excreting it in the sun, the smell would be gone after a day.

But she said this to Wang Yuzhen, but forgot to make it clear to Feng Hua, saying that she just wanted to help her master's wife vent her anger and throw some feces and urine. Zhou Lingying didn't know Feng Hua was so bold and threw it directly on the window of Li Meihong's house.

Zhou Lingying didn't see the whole process, but she heard the shouting and cursing from the other side, so she hid at the door and opened a crack to watch. From the shouting and cursing from Li Meihong's family, she knew that feces and urine were thrown on the window.

Feng Hua must have disappeared. He slipped away before the sleeping Li Meihong family could react to what was splashed on the window.

Now many neighbors have come to watch the fun, a fun-filled fun.

Zhou Lingying saw Wang Yuzhen also going out and walked over. She also wanted to go, but she felt guilty.

No one was caught, but Zhou Lingying heard that they would have to go to the street office early the next morning to call someone to deal with the matter.

It was late at night and everyone had to sleep, so the incident did not last long before everyone dispersed, but the incident was definitely not over. It was normal for people to go to the street office the next day after someone threw feces at them.

Zhou Lingying wanted to go back to Jinhe Commune to meet her educated youth friends tomorrow, but she also knew that if she disappeared tomorrow it might be a cover-up.

With a nervous mood, Zhou Lingying lay in bed for a long time before falling asleep.

The next morning, Zhou Lingying pretended to be normal and went to the market to buy vegetables and brought them back to feed the chickens.

While cooking breakfast and feeding the chickens, Wang Yuzhen found Zhou Lingying.

"Sister, this is a bit bad. It seems that the situation has gotten out of hand. Chen Li's mother-in-law seems to have gone to the street office. How could your husband's apprentice throw feces on her window? It's not easy to clean it up." Wang Yuzhen said.

"I forgot to explain it clearly yesterday. What should I do?" Zhou Lingying said a little fearfully.

"Don't worry, wait until the people from the street office come, I'll go and see how they handle it. If they can't catch the person, I don't know if the matter will be resolved." Wang Yuzhen comforted Zhou Lingying. She had never faced such a thing before. She thought that last night, let alone catching the person, she didn't even see who did it, so it should not be possible to trace it back to Zhou Lingying.

At this time, Zhou Lingying could only nod and wait and see how to deal with it when the people from the street office came.

Wang Yuzhen didn't talk much with Zhou Lingying because she also had a child to feed at home.

At around eight o'clock, when Zhou Lingying was hanging out her washed clothes to dry, people from the street office arrived.

Although the person who threw feces at Li Meihong's house was not caught or seen, the street office would not let such a thing go. They immediately guessed that Li Meihong or her family must have offended someone, but after asking, Li Meihong didn't know who she had offended.

Women like Li Meihong basically don't go around. After finishing housework, they just chat with some aunties and grandmas who are about her age. How can this offend anyone?

But when the people from the sub-district office come, they will not just make a record and ask you to wait for the investigation and notify you when there is a result. Although the technology is backward now and there is no monitoring, whether it is the sub-district office or the police station, when faced with such a thing, they will at least do their best to investigate it.

Even if it's just a formality, at least the neighbors in the yard should be investigated.

　Zheng Ke will still appear very later, so as not to be abrupt in the future.
