Chapter 189 Slacking Off (1)
Originally, Yuan Wenjie wanted to transfer Ma Chunsheng's family to Qiongzhou Island for garrison duty as well.
Su Jinru values family ties, so she and her sister can be together.
However, Ma Chunsheng had a special mission and was temporarily transferred to another unit.
In order to improve her medical skills, Su Jinyu also took the initiative to apply to study at a military hospital.
Little Stone also stayed at his maternal grandparents' house to be cared for by them.
After returning to his research institute, Su Jinxuan reported to his superiors about the Lin and Qiu couple he had met in Daben Village.
They said that their research project had many critical hurdles that they couldn't overcome, and that the Lin couple might be able to help.
The leaders took it very seriously and immediately led an investigation. They discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Lin worked at another important research institution and had overseas study and work experience. Moreover, they had a pair of children working abroad. During this special period, these facts were naturally exposed, and they were falsely accused and sent to Daben Village.
Because it involves state secrets, their research is classified as a top-level state secret project. Although Mr. and Mrs. Lin are knowledgeable and talented and capable of doing this job, we dare not bring them back to participate in their research project before their identities are fully investigated.
However, out of a desire to cherish talent, the leader sent someone to Nanyang County to find County Chief Zhang and instructed him to secretly protect the personal safety of the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Zhang Jingui was naturally familiar with the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, who had been sent down to Daben Village.
The time when Mr. and Mrs. Lin's house suddenly collapsed, he happened to be having dinner at Su Jinru's house. It was Su's two sons-in-law who were soldiers who rescued Mr. Lin from the ruins.
Su Jinru even let them stay in her own house.
He also instructed his younger siblings to take good care of Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
After surgery and post-operative care by Su Jinyu, Mr. Lin's leg injury has fully recovered.
Because of their advanced age, Mr. and Mrs. Lin do not need to work, but they also have no source of income.
I heard that they never leave their homes, spending their days locked up in their houses, growing vegetables in their yards to make a living.
Before Su Jinru left, she gave the couple some vegetable seeds so they could grow their own vegetables in their yard.
Having received a hint from above, Zhang Jingui secretly delivered 100 jin of rice, 50 jin of flour, and some winter clothes to the Lin couple.
He said that he had asked Su Jinru to deliver it to them.
He could only come up with such a reason, because on the surface, they were people with problems, sinners that most people would avoid.
Only Su Jinru dared to openly help them, so Zhang Jingui simply attributed all the credit to Su Jinru.
The Lin couple were naturally extremely grateful to Su Jinru.
Zhang Jingui also instructed Sanbao that if the Lin couple encountered any difficulties, he should help them as much as possible. He also told Sanbao not to let the villagers bully the Lin couple.
Sanbao naturally obeyed Zhang Jingui's words without question.
After Zhang Jingui was promoted, he also learned to support his own group of people and devoted most of his energy to governance, instead of focusing solely on agriculture. As a result, the atmosphere in Nanyang County has changed a lot.
In response to the call from above, he also made the activities a grand affair, holding meetings and parading through the streets as required.
However, the targets are not innocent people, but rather the wicked bullies and village tyrants who deserve their fate, or those who want to take advantage of the chaos, or those who want to use the event to settle personal scores.
Therefore, he encouraged whistleblowing, but those who made false whistleblowing reports or used the opportunity to seek retaliation became the targets of the crackdown.
If this event brought out the evil in many people, then his team ensured that these evildoers received their due punishment.
His measures, at least, protected many innocent people.
Before leaving, Su Jinru told him to hang in there, saying that this event would end sooner or later, and everything would return to normal, based on facts and prioritizing the interests of the people...
He believed that day would come, not just because he believed in her as a person, but also because he believed in the country. But for now, he could only protect himself and, at the same time, protect innocent people like him who were doing their jobs honestly and diligently.
On this day, the third production team of Daben Village was at work.
Many people automatically kept their distance from Du Mei, avoiding her as if she were a plague.
She felt ashamed and inferior at first, but as time went on, she stopped caring.
As long as you're alive, you have to learn to comfort yourself and give yourself strength.
Her source of strength was to be completely shameless.
She discovered that the more ashamed and humble she appeared, the more people bullied her and treated her like a human being.
Once, when they were working together, everyone assigned her the dirtiest and most tiring jobs, while making sarcastic remarks, saying that a woman like her was a disgrace to women and didn't deserve to live in this world.
That day, Du Mei finally couldn't hold back anymore. She yelled at Li Lihua, who had been the most aggressive in her insults, "Li Lihua, I know why you hate me so much. It's because I slept with your man! Believe me or not, if you dare to insult me again, I'll report your man at the next meeting."
The air solidified instantly.
Everyone stared at Li Lihua in astonishment.
Li Lihua was stunned for five seconds before she instantly realized what was happening.
She yelled at Du Mei, "Du Mei, you filthy bitch, you slut... You're talking nonsense! You're so dirty, so cheap, how could my man possibly want you?"
Looking at the exasperated Li Lihua, Du Mei smiled and said, "Want me to tell you what characteristics your man has?"
Seeing Du Mei's certainty, Li Lihua's expression changed drastically, and she hesitated.
A million grass mud horses galloped through my mind.
Could it be that her man is really having an affair with this woman?
impossible!
But she spoke with such certainty, and her words were so detailed and convincing.
Du Mei sneered and continued to add insult to injury: "Why don't you go back and ask your man if he also wants to stand on the stage with me, if he wants to parade through the streets with me? If he doesn't want to go, you'd better watch out in the future."
"I'm not reporting him because of our relationship, but if you're ungrateful and try to kick me while I'm down because of our relationship, then I won't hold back anymore. When your man loses face, I'll see if you'll look good."
"Impossible, how could he possibly be interested in you? You're talking nonsense, you... shameless slut."
