When Zou Caifen went to the old house to complain that her two elders could not get a bowl of water evenly, the second daughter-in-law Li Chunxiang hid outside the door and listened.
When I heard that the money for building a new house for the third child's family came from the educated youth son-in-law, I was quite surprised.
"Oh my god! What kind of bad luck did the third child have? He actually got a wealthy son-in-law! I thought he was poor before I came to the house, but with such good conditions, why did he come to the house?"
Li Chunxiang couldn't figure it out, so she went to gossip with her next door neighbor.
After her big mouth publicized it, almost all the members of the Seven Star Brigade knew about it that day without waiting for the next day.
When working in the afternoon, everyone looked at Xu Laosan with envy:
"Third brother! Your son-in-law was hired too cheaply!"
"Third brother, where did your son-in-law get so much money to build a new house for your family? Did his family pay for it? His family is very rich?"
"His parents are probably dual-income earners in the city. If both earners save a few months, it will be enough for us to buy two new houses."
"That's true! Third brother, you two will be blessed in the future! My daughter is very capable and her son-in-law is so rich."
Xu Laosan felt very relieved and smiled from ear to ear: "Who says it's not the case! I'm just waiting for the second daughter to honor me and their mother! Give me some fat grandsons tomorrow, this life will be worth it.
Got it!"
Zou Caifen, who was walking home, heard Xu Laosan's flamboyant smile in the distance, and his face elongated.
Humph! Why don’t you just use some money to build a house? What’s the big deal! My son-in-law will recruit his uncle in the future. Who is better than whom? We’ll see!
Zhao Xuefang from the first team naturally heard this rumor and started making trouble at home again: "How is that possible! Where did he get so much money?"
Zhao Youcheng also felt puzzled: "Is his family's condition very good? I've never heard anyone mention it! Unlike other educated youths, he can still receive packages from his family during the holidays. He has been in the queue for two years and hasn't seen anything sent to him by his family.
.”
Educated youths who went to the post office to pick up packages would come to him to ask for leave. But I had never heard or seen Xu Chengjin receive a package from Beijing.
"Dad! He is so rich. It doesn't hurt him at all to lose his job at school. I won't accept it!" Zhao Xuefang said bitterly, "Dad, please think of a way to punish him severely!
"
Zhao Youcheng knocked on his pipe and said, "Let me think about it."
However, before he could come up with a way to treat people, people from the commune took him away, saying they wanted to cooperate with the investigation.
The Zhao family was sealed on the spot, and investigators found a lot of cigarettes, wine and various tickets from the hole in the wall next to Zhao Youcheng's bed.
When the members found out, they were all shocked.
"I haven't heard Captain Zhao say he likes to drink. He also smokes an old pipe. Why do you have so many filters and famous wines at home?"
"Silly! He doesn't drink or smoke, but he can sell it! If he goes to the black market, he can get a lot of money back."
"I also saw that Lao Hou found a stack of tickets, including a lot of industrial tickets. Isn't his daughter engaged? I guess he wants to use these to buy a dowry for his daughter."
"But where did he get so many tickets?"
"I heard from the cadre who handled the case that he was using power for personal gain - he was greedy!"
"Having said that, I remembered that last year my wife gave birth to a baby and wanted to ask the team to borrow a bullock cart. Captain Zhao rubbed his fingers at me. I didn't understand at the time. Now that I think about it, could he be
Do you want to ask me for a fee?"
"You idiot! Only now do you want to understand? I already knew it! But the problem is that we are so poor that we can't afford to give him any favors. At most, we can give him vegetables, a few eggs, tobacco and alcohol.
I can’t afford to give away the ticket no matter what.”
"That's right! Then where did he get these things?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads to express confusion.
Until——Chen Binghui was also investigated.
During the years he went to the countryside, he often secretly reported to Zhao Youcheng some of the radical remarks made by the educated youths during their discussions, as well as their going to the black market to buy food when there was a shortage of food.
Zhao Youcheng relied on this to control the educated youth, so he had a steady stream of tickets for tobacco and alcohol.
I see!
The case is solved! The case is solved!
"Oh my God! Captain Zhao's heart is too dark! Could it be that since the first batch of educated youths went to the countryside, he proposed to build an educated youth station in their group just to get benefits?"
"Maybe that's the case! Otherwise, why was he so active in the first place?"
This is an injustice to Zhao Youcheng.
When the Educated Youth Station was built, he had not yet developed this evil intention, and he only wanted to climb up.
Thinking that the arrival of the educated youth would help him show his face in front of the commune cadres, he suggested that the educated youth station should be set up as a team.
Later, I heard from Chen Binghui that Feng Luming, a new educated youth, complained behind his back about jumping in the queue, and his words were very extreme, so he talked to Feng Luming in the name of the team leader.
Feng Luming was only 16 years old at the time, still a child. His face turned pale with fright. He quickly took out the food stamps, meat stamps, and industrial stamps that his parents had stuffed into his bag, and gave them to Zhao Youcheng in a flattering manner, hoping that he would not report it to the police and would be spared.
This time he.
After tasting the sweetness once, Zhao Youcheng's heart gradually grew.
He has collected everything from all kinds of tickets to brown sugar, canned food, malted milk, and more expensive tobacco and alcohol.
Pick some that are large in quantity and give some to Chen Binghui as a reward for informing him.
In this way, the two of them, one openly and the other covertly, deceived a lot of things from the educated youth.
The educated youths who were called in for a talk did not dare to speak out because of fear. Even if they suspected that there was someone inside who was informing them, they did not dare to say it openly.
What's more, Chen Binghui behaved very decently on the surface and had never been involved with Zhao Youcheng. After all these years, no one had ever made any guesses about him.
Until Xu Chengjin's arrival...
After Xu Yin heard about this, she subconsciously glanced at Xu Chengjin when she returned home, feeling a little suspicious in her heart.
Xu Chengjin raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
"Does Captain Zhao's arrest have anything to do with you?"
"If I say yes, do you think I'm scary?" He turned the pen in his hand and lowered his eyes.
Xu Yin rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while before saying: "It's not that scary. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will eradicate them. Besides, they are not innocent."
Xu Chengjin: "..."
When you said you were cutting the grass and roots, why did you look between my legs?
Xu Yin just didn't understand something: "You haven't even stepped out of my courtyard recently, how did you report it to your superiors?"
"There is a way of expression in this world called letter." He raised his chin and pointed to the letter paper under his pen.
Xu Yin suddenly realized: "So what you asked Teacher Wang to send that day was actually not a submission letter to the magazine, but a report letter?"
Xu Chengjin laughed: "It's just one of them, the others are indeed manuscripts. Calculating the time, the manuscript fee notice is almost here. Wife, can you go to the post office for me to withdraw money? The answer is that I should buy a bottle of wine for my father.
, don’t forget to buy a new set of clothes, and a piece of cloth for my mother and little sister. And of course, my wife, just buy whatever you like."
Xu Yin: "..." Tsk tsk tsk! Being rich is amazing!
It’s amazing to have money!
At least at this stage, she couldn't throw away a wad of money. Then she hooked his chin and said: Why is it so hard to write a manuscript? Stop writing! I will support you!
