1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!
Chapter 248 Criticism and Education
The only one in the He family who was suffering was He Qiang. He had been tormented by that big, silly Zou Dazhuang yesterday, and he developed a high fever as soon as he got back.
He lay in bed in a daze all day, and when he woke up in the evening, he heard this devastating news!
He now wishes he could tear Zou Dazhuang and Wen Li, these two scourges, to pieces.
He tried to sit up, but his body felt limp and he had no strength at all. He could only lie on the bed and roar helplessly.
He Qiang has been like this ever since he broke his leg. The He family has long been used to it. Everyone is immersed in the joy of Chen Li getting a good marriage, so they don't care about him anymore.
The marriage was arranged, and the Zou family meant to come and pick up the bride in three days. Although the He family wondered why they were in such a hurry, they didn't think much of it and readily agreed.
When He Qiang finally managed to walk out of the house, the He family had already received the betrothal gifts and the date had been set. The whole family was beaming with joy, and He Li was especially pleased with Zou Dazhuang, her face showing an unspeakable secret delight.
He Qiang was speechless. He dared not tell anyone that Zou Dazhuang had... He was afraid that if people found out, he would be ridiculed for the rest of his life.
He couldn't blame his family; he could only hate Wen Li for being so vicious, breaking his leg and trying to harm his family.

Two days later, just as everyone was at work, a commotion suddenly broke out at the village entrance. When everyone saw the people wearing red armbands, they fell silent instantly.
The villagers didn't dare to approach, each one diligently working on their tasks, only glancing out of the corner of their eye at the activity at the grain drying yard.
The village chief hurried out to greet them, "You must be tired, comrades! I'll take you to the cowshed first, then we'll come back for a cup of tea and a rest!"
The Revolutionary Committee member looked displeased. "You're the village chief?"
"Yes, yes, I am the village chief. I'll take you all to the cowshed!"
"Who said we were going to the cowshed?"
The village chief's expression froze for a moment, realizing what these people wanted to do. He stopped pretending and replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, I'll gather the villagers right away!"
"And bring the people from the cowshed along too!"
The village chief sighed silently to himself; it seemed there was no escaping it after all.
"Second brother, go and call those guys over from the cowshed. Third brother, go and inform the brigade leader!"
Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao San turned and ran in two different directions.
Knowing there was no way to avoid it, the captain immediately notified everyone to go to the grain drying yard.
In less than half an hour, everyone in the village had arrived at the grain drying yard.
Wen Li's heart jumped when she saw the three old men, including Wang, standing behind the red armbands. The family next to them was a newcomer.
The family consisted of four adults, two little girls around eight or nine years old, a middle-aged couple, and two men around twenty years old. All six of them were covered in filth, making it impossible to see their original appearances.
The group looked disheveled, heads down and silent, but judging from their demeanor, the middle-aged couple were refined and gentle, and didn't seem like bad people.
On the other hand, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked calm and collected. He looked down at the ground not far away. Even in such an environment, he did not look disheveled. Instead, he gave people a sense of aloofness and detachment from the world.
After Wen Li understood the situation, she turned her attention to the few people wearing red armbands.
These are all unfamiliar faces; I wonder what other trouble those people will cause them.
The brigade leader and the village chief bowed and scraped to the group of people wearing red armbands, offering them cigarettes and tea. The people wearing red armbands were very satisfied with the attitude of the village chief and the brigade leader.
"You guys from the forward brigade really know what's good for you!"
The team leader cursed inwardly, but forced a smile. "Comrades, everyone's busy with work right now, so... shall we jump right into the procedures?"
The leader immediately objected, "Captain, that's not right. Earning work points in the fields is important, but isn't the ideological education of the villagers important?"
"I think you, as the battalion commander, have serious ideological problems!"
The captain's face fell instantly when he was accused of such a serious offense. He had been playing the subservient role for so long, only to be accused of having ideological problems. He almost lost control of his temper.
The village chief quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Comrade, you've misunderstood. The main thing is that the family had prepared food and wine, and with the sun so high, the brigade leader was just worried the food would spoil if left out too long. He didn't mean anything by it!"
The man was finally satisfied, then slowly put down his teacup. "Since that's the case, let's go!"
A few people stood on top and began a lecture on ideology. The three old men from the cowshed and the new family were naturally used as negative examples and were scolded mercilessly.
When things got heated, many villagers threw wild vegetables from their baskets at the people.
The captain gestured to everyone not to actually hit anyone, his eyes almost turning into cross-eyed stares. Those people were like madmen, completely oblivious to the captain's signal.
The people in front were covered in mud and grass after being hit.
When others saw someone throwing weeds, they also symbolically threw a couple of times, but none of them hit them.
Wen Li and the other educated youth symbolically picked up a handful of wild grass and threw it forward.
Those in front all lowered their heads, not daring to speak, and quietly accepted everyone's insults and attacks.
Seeing that the villagers were very conscientious, the red armband-wearing men nodded in satisfaction. After giving them a further lecture, they asked the village chief to arrange for someone to take them to the cowshed.
After settling the newly arrived people in, the village chief led them to his home.
The village chief's wife and the brigade leader's wife did indeed prepare food and drinks to entertain this group of people.
Wen Li returned to the educated youth compound with a troubled mind. It was almost 2 p.m., and these people had been making a fuss for several hours.
Lu Zechuan cooked two bowls of noodles. "Don't worry, I checked, they're fine, just some minor injuries!"
Wen Li wasn't worried about the minor injuries, but rather their mental state, especially Old Man Hou. He had finally managed to pull himself together, and if he were to become despondent again because of what happened today, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
Old Hou was an important figure, and Wen Li couldn't bear to see such a useful person to the country perish in the cowshed.
"If you're really worried, why don't you go check on it again tonight?"
Wen Li had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll go later!"
Time passed by, and Wen Li had never felt that time could be so hard to pass.
Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief when she received news in the afternoon that those people had left the village.
She was sitting under the eaves drying wild fruits when Zhou Yu came to the backyard with two eggs.
"Wen, I heard you have honey here. Could you trade some with me?"
Wen Li knew Zhou Yu might need to talk to her, so she smiled and agreed, "Sure, how much do you want? But let's make it clear first, I don't have much left!"
Zhou Yu looked apologetic.
"It's alright, just a little bit. I've been feeling dizzy lately, and Grandpa Wu said it's some kind of low blood sugar, so he told me to drink some sugar water to replenish it. I don't have any sugar coupons, so I can only trouble you!"
