I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. Fu Sanjun warmly received Zhang Wei and told him stories.

As the two drank Qingming green tea, Fu Sanjun said, "There was a girl who, perhaps for some benefit, married a disabled soldier..."

Zhang Wei was incredibly shrewd; he knew he was doomed from the very first sentence.

Fu Sanjun continued telling the story, while Zhang Wei was already thinking about how to turn the situation around.

Damn it, Guo Baohua, fuck your mother! You could have just changed the squad leader, why did you have to provoke the Yang family?

A moment of patience brings peace, but now things are completely ruined.

If I had known this would happen, I should have cut off your thing and fed it to the dogs.

Fu Sanjun spoke slowly and deliberately, taking a sip of tea every now and then, and occasionally praising the quality of the tea.

Zhang Wei was sweating profusely and his body was trembling slightly.

Finally, Fu Sanjun finished speaking and asked, "Secretary Zhang, if you were in this situation, how would you handle it?"

Zhang Wei was terrified and almost knelt down: "Secretary, I, I was wrong... I didn't know Guo Baohua was bullying the Yang family."

With a sharp "snap," Fu Sanjun said seriously, "Zhou Zhonghai is right. If it were him, he would also use 'I don't know' to brush it off. What is the root of this matter?"

"What does Guo Baohua's promiscuous relationships have to do with the Yang family? You're framing this female educated youth with a fabricated charge all for Guo Baohua's sake. Did the Yang family expose the female educated youth for insulting military families?"

"No, no..."

"If there's no crime, where did the accusation against the female educated youth come from? Today it's the female educated youth insulting military families, tomorrow it's the villagers insulting military families. Whoever they want to attack or retaliate against, they can all be accused of insulting military families. Zhang Wei, come here, come here, you accuse me of that too, and I'll give you the position of county party secretary."

Zhang Wei was trembling violently: "Secretary, I was wrong, I was really wrong... Please tell me how to make amends, and I, Zhang Wei, will absolutely do as you say."

"Is it worth offending Commander Zhou for the sake of Guo Baohua? Today he's a division commander, tomorrow he could be the municipal party secretary, or even the provincial party secretary. You, Zhang Wei, are being too clever for your own good, but I have no choice but to deal with you."

"Yes, yes, Secretary, I have worked hard in Liushan Commune all these years, even if I haven't made any great contributions. You, you can't fire me."

"Commander Zhou also guessed it. It was probably the lower-level cadres who were causing trouble. You were kept in the dark. He didn't say he was going to fire you."

"If Commander Zhou really said that, I... I really didn't know."

When Commander Zhou's son got married, he ran around doing all the chores, and Commander Zhou was grateful for it.

"The position of chairman of the textile factory's labor union is vacant. Go to the textile factory."

"Secretary, I..."

Zhang Wei looked worried. Although it was a lateral transfer, the labor union was a place with no lucrative opportunities and a lot of trouble.

"If you don't want to go, then stay home and wait for a suitable place to transfer you," Fu Sanjun said coldly.

"I'll go, I'm willing to go."

He can be put on standby for three, four, or five years, but good positions won't be reserved for him anyway.

What kind of person is Zhao Jintao?

After finishing their business, Fu Sanjun suddenly asked a question.

"Zhao Jintao? He graduated from high school and served as a squad leader in Dashui Village. He's straightforward, has a strong sense of justice, but..."

Zhang Wei glanced at Fu Sanjun. No leader would like a subordinate with a straightforward temper, right?

"Okay, I understand. You can go back now. I'll send someone down tomorrow to coordinate your work. Report to the textile factory in three days."

"Yes……"

Yang Wenjin rested at home for half a month, and her family did not receive any work points.

After thinking about it, I realized I still had to go to work, otherwise what would my family eat and drink?

When Yang Weiguo saw Yang Wenjin, he dropped all pretense and said, "You can remove the weeds. Five work points."

No, it's already past the weeding season, why bother weeding?

The other members went to harvest wheat, and they each earned ten work points a day.

Yang Wenjin did not argue, and carried a hoe to weed the cornfield that was more than a meter high.

Earning five work points is worth more than 17 cents.

When Qiaoqiao's mother returned home from work, she hurriedly said, "Dad, people from the commune have come to see Mom."

Upon hearing the word "commune," Yang Wenjin retorted irritably, "It's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's up to no good."

"Go and take a look. It's not Secretary Zhang; I've never seen this person before."

Even if I'm unhappy, it's a leader who's here, so I don't dare offend him.

A middle-aged man in a white shirt is inquiring about Grandma Qiaoqiao's condition.

Grandma Qiaoqiao kept saying, "Everything is fine, thank you for your trouble, leaders. If you're busy, you don't need to come see this old woman."

The leader in the white shirt said, "We haven't been caring enough for you. Remember to eat brown sugar, fruit, and ginseng extract to replenish your energy."

Yang Wenjin entered the room, and the leader in white stepped forward to shake hands: "You must be Comrade Yang Wenjin? My name is Gao Bing, and I was just transferred to Liushan Commune as secretary."

Commune secretary?

"And what about Secretary Zhang?"

"He went to work as the chairman of the trade union at the textile factory."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Yang Wenjin didn't know the difference between the union chairman and the commune secretary; they were both officials, anyway.

"Comrade Yang Wenjin, we have reinvestigated the case of the female educated youth insulting soldiers. Since you never reported the case to the police, the charge of insulting soldiers is not established."

"So, Wu Xia was released?"

"We have reopened the case on charges of hooliganism."

Hooliganism? But she wasn't the only hooligan.

"Guo Baohua was also filed in the case along with Wu Xia. Guo Baohua's case is more complicated. In addition to the crime of hooliganism, he is also suspected of bribery and embezzlement of state property."

"Guo Baohua has also been placed under investigation..." Yang Wenjin's mouth twitched. All the disasters in his family stemmed from Guo Baohua's retaliation.

And then there's Jin Tao, who was doing a great job as a squad leader, but Guo Baohua dismissed him.

"Comrade Yang Wenjin, the county party secretary personally intervened regarding the illegal retaliation and factionalism in Liushan Commune. You have suffered a lot of injustice; it was our mistake."

"I'm fine, it's just that Zhao Jintao is a bit wronged."

"Don't worry, I'll visit Zhao Jintao's family later. Okay, I'll take my leave now. If you need anything in the future, please be sure to come to the commune to find me."

Gao Bing shook hands firmly again and left with his assistant Li Feng.

"Qiaoqiao's mother, what's going on?" Yang Wenjin looked at Qiaoqiao's mother in confusion.

Qiaoqiao's mother chuckled softly, "It must be the in-laws who spoke."

"But, but we didn't tell Qiaoqiao."

"Have you forgotten? Aunt Fang came to visit Mom a few days ago and asked her a few questions, didn't she?"

"What did you say? You're troubling your in-laws with such a small matter."

"I was just telling the truth. We've been wronged, but can you really bear to see Jin Tao dismiss the squad leader just to save our mother? We're thinking about our own children's future, but other people's children's future is also a future."

"Too."

"Don't we have eggs? Make Mom a brown sugar egg drink."

"I won't eat it; I'll save it for Zhengzheng and Qiaoqiao to eat when they get home. If I'm in a better mood, I'll get better too."

Grandma Qiaoqiao tried to stop him, but Grandpa Qiaoqiao said, "Make yourself a bowl. I want a sip too. I'm going to work in the fields this afternoon; it's wheat harvest season, and there's a lot of farm work to do."
