Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Go with the Flow 1 Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Go with the Flow 1 Witnessing this scene, those who followed Li Chengdong, like Guo Guangcheng, had jelly legs and stood rooted to the spot.
They showed no intention of helping, nor any desire to break up the fight, their eyes wide with a fear even greater than that displayed on Li Chengdong’s face.
Li Chengdong held his chin in one hand and pointed at Lu Jiang with the other, his narrow eyes filled with venomous resentnt. This made Guo Guangcheng and the others inwardly curse their misfortune. They had indeed warned him about the man he was dealing with, but still, he dared to be disrespectful. Wasn’t this asking for death?
As for Lu Jiang’s actions towards Li Chengdong, not a single person present thought it was inappropriate. If a man’s wife is molested and he swallows his anger, he’s nothing but a coward, a laughing stock.
Li Chengdong’s words might not have been explicitly crude, but in that era, they were certainly considered grievous harassnt.
Feng Qingxue shook off her aunt’s hand, which was trying to pull her back, and stepped forward to tightly embrace Lu Jiang.
“Ajiang, calm down! If you get punished by the military because of this, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!” Feng Qingxue was both angry and anxious. She knew all too well the rules of the military and was worried that an enraged Lu Jiang might go too far. Regardless of whether Li Chengdong was injured, if he complained to the military, at the very least, Lu Jiang would be reprimanded, or at worst, dismissed. Years of effort could go down the drain. “Hitting soone is not the way to solve problems. Ajiang, I am also a soldier. Since Li Chengdong has insulted us with his foul language, the state should handle it!”
Having been looking for an excuse to deal with Li Chengdong, wasn’t this just what they needed?
With his pregnant wife in his arms, Lu Jiang didn’t dare to struggle, fearing any sudden move might bring her down. So, he instead supported her with his hand and, after a mont’s thought, he looked somberly at Li Chengdong, who was angrily pointing at him, and spat disdainfully.
“He is lucky!” He would have loved to stab the bastard right there and then, the sa man who had nearly forced him into marrying his wife seven years ago.
“How can we let him off so easily? Of course, we must strike while the iron is hot and take him directly to the collective. If local authorities won’t do, then we go up to the county or the city. Without a proper explanation, I won’t let this go! As a soldier and a pregnant woman, I co back ho only to face such a huge disgrace. If I let him get away with it, then my na isn’t Feng Qingxue.” Being taken advantage of? That wasn’t in her nature.
Good, this was the chance to submit Feng Shuanzhu’s complaint. Under such circumstances, if the collective doesn’t give Feng Shuanzhu justice or remove Li Chengdong from his position, that would be unacceptable.
They had a perfect reason to act, with an advantage in timing, situation, and public sentint.
For soone like Li Chengdong, if you don’t hit him where it hurts, he’ll keep spewing his venom.
After his wife’s reminder, Lu Jiang imdiately took Li Chengdong to the collective. Those who had co with Li Chengdong scattered like birds and beasts, none stepping forward to speak a good word for him.
When Feng Qingxue followed Lu Jiang to the collective office, sobs began to erge from beneath her handkerchief-covered face as soon as she entered.
“Are all the collective cadre mbers present? Good, then I have to ask, how were the cadres of the production team below chosen? My husband and I have been in the military for many years, diligent and disciplined, never lax, abiding by national laws and the guiding thoughts of our forr leaders. We finally take a leave for two months to visit our family ho, only to be bullied like this? Falsely labeling an old poor farr as a landlord, how is this acceptable? Because we visit our family elders, they insult , an active-duty female soldier, with foul language. How do you plan to deal with this?”
