Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

The leader glanced around the room and asked, "Excuse me, is this Comrade Su Wanqing's home?"

Su Wanqing stood up and said, "Yes, may I ask what's the matter?"

The man glanced at the furnishings in Su Wanqing's house, then at the mountains of New Year's goods piled up in the yard and kitchen. After noticing the television and refrigerator, he muttered a few words to the person next to him, then put on a stern face and said:

"Here's the thing, we're from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. We received a report from a member of the public, alleging that you accepted a huge amount of money and valuables from patients' families under the guise of medical treatment. These items include color TVs, refrigerators, sewing machines, bicycles, radios, etc., with a total value far exceeding the scope of normal social etiquette. We are now conducting an investigation in accordance with the law. Please cooperate with our work, provide a list of the relevant items, and then come with us."

The people behind him exchanged glances, then suddenly noticed the two large color TVs in the room. They frowned, examined the brand carefully, and asked, "Were these two TVs also bribes? I've never seen or heard of this brand before."

"But such a big TV, especially a color TV, would cost at least three or four thousand yuan. This family is lucky; they have two color TVs here that we can't even buy in our provincial capital."

"Yeah, I wouldn't believe it if you told me there wasn't something fishy going on."

"This stuff is hard to buy; it all has to be imported. It's not available domestically."

The group whispered among themselves in front of the color TV.

Ding Xiaomei, standing outside the door, spat out loudly, "What's wrong with buying a color TV? We have good connections to buy these things. Does that mean there's something wrong with the TVs we can buy?"

Ding Xiaomei originally only wanted to retort a few words, but she didn't expect her voice to be so loud, attracting everyone around her. Adding to this, Chen Yuchun and her mother, who were already waiting to watch the show, immediately started shouting at the top of their lungs when they saw so many serious people at Su Wanqing's house:

"Hey, come quick! What's going on at Su Wanqing's house? Why are so many people here?"

Chen Yuchun's mother chimed in, "Oh dear, has Su Wanqing been caught doing something bad?"

This immediately attracted a lot of gossipy neighbors, who all gathered at the door to look around, whispering among themselves: "Comrade Su Wanqing just received an award and praise a couple of days ago, why are so many people coming to the door today? It doesn't look like something good."

Inside the room, Su Wanqing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised—she hadn't been reported before the reforms, but was reported after the reforms began? That was quite unusual, and what was even funnier was that these rewards were all given to her by the government.

The leader was Wang Xiaohuang, an official of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He had been eyeing Chen Yuchun for a long time, but Chen Yuchun always felt that he lived too far from home and never agreed to be with him.

They came to Bincheng yesterday on a mission, and it was only by chance that they learned that Bincheng was rife with corruption!

"Brother Wang, look at this! What kind of abuse of power has the mayor committed? His daughter was disfigured, and a rural doctor cured her. He then used his position for personal gain, approving a bonus of tens of thousands of yuan, a refrigerator… and even a sewing machine and a bicycle. This isn't a reward; it's clearly lining his own pocket with the people's hard-earned money! Such corrupt officials should be thoroughly investigated by the provincial discipline inspection commission!"

Wang Xiaohuang frowned: "Are you telling the truth?"

Chen Yuchun nodded confidently: "Everyone in the family compound knows. You can ask anyone. They openly say it's because Su Wanqing made contributions to the country that she was rewarded. Do they think we're fools? When has the country ever rewarded someone like that?"

Wang Xiaohuang's face turned ashen. He realized that Chen Yuchun's words were indeed unreasonable; this was simply a blatant exchange of power for money!

When I came here today, I found it to be true!

Uncle Ding quickly smoothed things over: "There must be some misunderstanding here. These are all rewards that Wanqing herself contributed to the government. They weren't given because she cured the mayor's daughter."

Su Wanqing calmly took out the reward list from that day and handed it over: "We bought this TV ourselves, it has nothing to do with anything else. This is the list of rewards the government gave me, it has the official seal of the Bincheng City Government, and various certificates of honor."

Furthermore, please forgive me for not being able to go with you. Before you investigate the report, shouldn't you also invite the whistleblower to come and confront them? Otherwise, how will you know if it's a legitimate report from a concerned citizen, or if someone is deliberately trying to frame you?

Someone is deliberately framing someone? What a joke! Chen Yuchun is such a kind and upright person. His father is a military commander, he grew up in a military compound, and he is still a doctor who saves lives. Would such a good comrade frame someone?

Wang Xiaohuang took the list, glanced at it, and sneered: "I see clearly now, these were all approved by your Bincheng City government. But since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been such an outrageous public reward."

Even if you've performed an extraordinary service, is it really necessary to reward you with so much money and gifts? This clearly doesn't make sense. We are from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, not under local jurisdiction. Now, please come with us. Don't worry, your mayor will also be investigated, humph.

The more he talked, the more he felt that Mayor Shen was a corrupt official, giving so many good things as rewards to a mere doctor; it was simply lawless.

"That's right. This matter has seriously involved Party discipline and national law. No one can escape it. They all need to be thoroughly investigated."

"Pack all these things up and seal them away, take them all back as evidence."

Meanwhile, the onlookers outside were whispering amongst themselves.

"Oh my, I never expected it to be like this? So the mayor used connections to give them all these good things because of his daughter's medical treatment?"

Chen Yuchun said smugly to the person next to her, "Isn't that right? They said it was all about keeping it a secret. If she really made some contribution, why would they keep it hidden? It was just to cover things up."

She looked at Su Wanqing triumphantly, thinking to herself that going to Brother Wang to report her was a brilliant move. If she had stumbled upon the report by sheer luck and it had actually succeeded, then Su Wanqing would be completely finished.

It doesn't matter if the report is wrong. She was just saying it casually anyway. It's good if it can smear the other party and make things difficult for them. If the report is right, Su Wanqing will be finished, and then she can be with Zhou Yanshen.

Seeing that things were getting chaotic, Xiao Wang quickly stepped forward, grabbed Wang Xiaohuang's arm, and anxiously explained:

"Comrades, please don't be impulsive! I am Xiao Wang, the driver of Deputy Commander Zhao Zhenguo. Deputy Commander Zhao is in Beijing reporting to the Central Committee because of the captured fighter jets and the breakthrough in radar technology. Before leaving, he specifically instructed me to protect Comrade Su's safety."

Comrade Su Wanqing was indeed wronged. You can't just randomly report someone and then raid their home, can you? You need to verify the facts first, right?
