The achievent is right in front of us, but for now Tang Quantong doesn’t know what reward might co from above. However, he needs to first understand Xu Qinghuan’s needs.
The mbers and educated youths all went to eat and rest. Xu Qinghuan handed the lunch basket to Qiao Xinyu, and she along with Jiang Xingye followed the brigade cadres, as well as Tang Quantong, to the brigade departnt for a discussion.
Tang Quantong got straight to the point, "Educated Youth Xu, the commune will certainly not disappoint anyone who has contributed to the country. The harvester you designed has significant aning for agricultural production. If you have any requests, you can propose them to first."
Before Xu Qinghuan could speak, Dong Xinmin hurriedly interjected, "Director Tang, you can’t say it like that. We all serve the people, making demands is a problematic mindset, and I will not allow such backward citizens in the Shangjiang Team."
Xu Qinghuan glanced at him, sneering, "Secretary Dong, is the Shangjiang Team so autocratic? The country promotes rewards based on work, yet in the Shangjiang Team, the organization only demands contributions without letting the people ask for compensation. Even workers receive salaries!
Isn’t this the behavior of a capitalist?"
Dong Xinmin’s face changed dramatically, "Comrade Xu Qinghuan, are you calling anyone a capitalist?"
Xu Qinghuan flared up. She originally had no deep-seated enmity with this person, but after repeatedly ruining her affairs, she could no longer tolerate it.
Xu Qinghuan sprang up, "I call you a capitalist; I also call you a tyrant, a tumor in the Shangjiang Team, a black and evil elent hidden among the people!"
Dong Xinmin was so angry that he was trembling, pointing at Xu Qinghuan, "You, you, you, you are slandering!"
Xu Qinghuan replied, "Slandering? Your family raises a pig that goes to market twice a year, whereas the production team’s pigs go once a year. What does your pig eat?"
Dong Xinmin’s expression changed, unable to remain calm, and he could only say, "You’re talking nonsense!"
"Your pig eats sweet potatoes!" As soon as Xu Qinghuan said this, everyone was extrely shocked; after all, in these tis, so people couldn’t afford this stuff.
"Your household often borrows baskets from the brigade departnt. Each ti it’s four; two are stacked with the bottom one containing ten to twenty pounds of sweet potatoes, or peanuts, or soybeans, depending on the season and what’s in the warehouse."
Jiang Baohua couldn’t sit still anymore, "Xinmin, is this true? The storeroom guardian is your nephew, is this how you undermine socialism?"
"You’re talking nonsense, you’re talking nonsense!"
But Dong Xinmin’s embarrassed and furious actions, in everyone’s eyes, confird the evidence.
This was indeed a heinous cri.
Just then, Shen Jinju ca in, staring straight at Dong Xinmin, "Everything Xu Qinghuan said is true, I can testify!"
Dong Xinmin shouted, "You are all talking nonsense. If I stole grain, why was there never a shortfall?"
Xu Qinghuan sneered, "Because Dong Youliang helped you make up the grain shortfall with clods of earth and small stones."
Jiang Baohua seed to wake up from a dream, "I always wondered why the grain was always so ticulously managed, but the grade evaluation was never high when submitting to the state."
Moreover, each ti, Dong Xinmin would seize the opportunity to criticize him. Being straightforward, he had never considered this issue.
Tang Quantong’s face turned livid, and with a wave of his hand, two people who ca with the commune apprehended Dong Xinmin. Jiang Baohua arranged people to report the case, and everything Xu Qinghuan said must be backed by strong evidence to convict Dong Xinmin.
However, everyone present knew this was rely a formality.
The police arrived quickly, and when they found over 300 pounds of peanuts, over 200 pounds of soybeans, more than 1,000 pounds of sweet potatoes, over 500 pounds of wheat, and over 300 pounds of rice in Dong Xinmin’s cellar, the entire production team’s mbers were stunned.
Dong Xinmin’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, holding his head in his hands and crying, "It’s over, everything is over!"
Sun Guihua fainted, her eyes rolling back.
Only Dong Liangcheng looked blankly at everything, not knowing what to do.
Shen Jinju sighed in relief, tears shining in her eyes. She looked gratefully at Xu Qinghuan, after all these years, she finally avenged herself!
She didn’t regret helping Liu Xiaoyan back then, she could accept any punishnt but would never accept soone else controlling her fate.
Moreover, what was wrong with helping Liu Xiaoyan!
Xu Qinghuan walked to Zhang Tieshan, who backed away two steps in dread, "Xu Qinghuan, what do you want?"
Xu Qinghuan said, "Zhang Tieshan, there’s a fist-sized hole in the wall of the low house where the female educated youths bathe, always unable to be blocked. Did you make that hole?"
Zhang Tieshan looked as if struck by lightning, and the villagers were so shocked by this gossip their eyes nearly popped out.
"You’re talking nonsense, the police are here, you are slandering, I am going to sue you!" Zhang Tieshan shouted angrily, calling the police.
Xu Qinghuan said, "Soone saw you peeping when the female educated youths were bathing; these two are Liu Zhijian and Jiang Chengxu, and there is another female educated youth who knows, but I will not na nas!"
Her gaze swept over Qu Qiongfang, who trembled all over and lowered her head.
"Police officer, I want to sue Xu Qinghuan for slandering !" Zhang Tieshan said, pointing angrily at Xu Qinghuan.
Xu Qinghuan said, "Officer, we can go to the site to collect evidence now, I have sufficient evidence to prove that the long-term voyeur is Comrade Zhang Tieshan."
Because, only Zhang Tieshan’s shoe size was 44, the largest, and the spot where he stood often left a deep footprint.
Zhang Tieshan panicked instantly, falling straight back.
No need for Xu Qinghuan to point out, the police quickly collected enough evidence on-site and took Zhang Tieshan along with Dong Xinmin.
Jiang Chengxu and Liu Zhijian went as witnesses to the police station, and Xu Qinghuan also needed to go for a statent. Jiang Xingye accompanied her.
The mbers looked at all the female educated youths with scrutinizing eyes, as if these people had never worn clothes.
Duan Qingi charged in front of Xu Qinghuan, shouting angrily, "Are you satisfied now?"
Xu Qinghuan replied with a laugh, "Satisfied with what? Was I the one peeping, is this related to ? Or do you want to be peeped at long-term and feel satisfied being peeped on?"
Having said that, she walked past Duan Qingi as if no one was there.
"You’re talking nonsense, who wants to be peeped at?"
Duan Qingi almost fainted, grabbing Qu Qiongfang and asking, "She ntioned another female educated youth at the point knows about this. Who exactly is it?"
Qu Qiongfang unconsciously curled her fingers, looking at Xu Qinghuan’s back with eyes shadowed and cold, "Who knows if she’s telling the truth, she might just be talking nonsense!"
Duan Qingi snorted coldly, "Exactly, just seeing her is irritating, acting like she’s won everything, playing everyone like fools, thinking she’s so powerful."
Lu Nianying looked deeply at Qu Qiongfang, thoughts of moving out sprouted in her mind.
After finishing the statent and coming out from the police station, Tang Quantong asked Xu Qinghuan, "Educated Youth Xu, if you have any requests, please put them forward quickly!"
He dared not maintain long-term contact with Xu Qinghuan anymore, even if he was straightforward and clean, he was still a bit intimidated by this female educated youth.
Others didn’t know, but he knew that the report involved Zhang Tieshan and Jiang Chengxu. Dong Xinmin had often spoken ill of him, with two out of three now in, he just didn’t know how long young Jiang Chengxu could hold out.
