Chapter 445: Tell the Elders
In the evening, Liu Jingxue went to the cowshed and delivered the meat that Zhou Mingxuan brought to Grandpa Wu.
Looking at the piece of meat, Grandpa Wu smiled widely, but he complained, "This kid, why did you send the meat to me? We don't lack meat here, why don't you keep it for yourself?
This kid is a real worry. He made such a big fuss just by buying a bicycle. He doesn’t know how to keep a low profile at all.”
"Your grandson is filial, and you, an old man, don't know how happy you are, so don't say these things deliberately.
If you had smiled less and not stretched your lips to the back of your head, I would have believed your insincere words." Mr. Zou pointed out directly.
In order to make Grandpa Wu happy so that she could talk about the rest of the story later, Liu Jingxue also deliberately praised Zhou Mingxuan.
"If you ask me, it's because Grandpa Wu is such a good friend that Zhou Mingxuan's heart and eyes are full of Grandpa Wu.
I heard from the educated youth at the educated youth point that Zhou Mingxuan also came here, but he did not go up the mountain to hunt or eat meat. He ate meat a few times a month, and it was with the meat coupons sent by his family that he bought it in town.
Their family must have used the meat coupons they received, so they couldn't send much to him. Even so, he saved some and sent it to you, and also gave me a piece, which really shows how thoughtful he is."
Grandpa Wu was even happier when he heard this, and felt that the meat was even more important. But he also felt sorry for his little grandson.
"This kid, he himself is so short of meat, why did he bring the meat to me? With Xiaoxue here, we don't lack meat at all."
“I told him to take it back and eat it himself, saying that you guys can eat less meat, but he didn’t listen.
Saying you have meat to eat is your business, but his intention is another matter, and they cannot be confused. "
Liu Weihua at the side spoke up, "That's not right, Brother Wu, didn't you say before that your grandson has been practicing martial arts since he was young? With his skills, it shouldn't be a problem for him to go hunting in the mountains, so how could he have no meat to eat?
When we go into the mountains to collect firewood, we occasionally catch pheasants, rabbits, etc.
He can't be inferior to us old arms and legs.
What’s going on?
"Uncle, I asked him about this, and he said that Zheng had been keeping an eye on him, and he didn't dare go into the mountains to hunt, fearing that Zheng would report him and accuse him of embezzling state assets.
Although the production team allowed villagers to go into the mountains to hunt, it was only privately agreed upon and there was no explicit regulation. They did not dare to take the risk, lest they be caught by Zheng. "
Elder Zou nodded and agreed, "It's rare for this kid to be so cautious.
Since that Zheng family kid is staring at him, he should be more careful."
Seeing that Old Wu frowned, Liu Jingxue quickly comforted him, “Don’t worry, Grandpa Wu, I have given Zhou Mingxuan a lot of salted fish and salted fish, and asked them to hide them and eat them slowly.
I still have some cured meat. I'll send them some more after they finish eating.
But I guess I won't have to send him off later. According to what they told me today, Mr. Zheng won't be able to stay here for long."
"Oh, what's going on? Has the Zhou family in Beijing started to deal with the Zheng family?" Mr. Zou asked curiously.
"It's not just the Zhou family. The Zheng family seems to have angered the public this time. Many people are targeting them."
After Liu Jingxue said this, she told everyone the news that Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao had told her.
After listening to what Liu Jingxue said, Mr. Zou nodded in agreement, "It seems that the Zheng family really can't last long."
But then he frowned again, "But Zhou Mingxuan is a bit dangerous.
If the Zheng family kid gets the news from his family, he might be desperate and do something to harm him, out of the idea of harming as many people as possible."
Liu Jingxue gave Elder Zou a thumbs up, "Grandpa Zou, your guess is really accurate. He is planning to frame Zhou Mingxuan."
When Mr. Wu heard this, he became anxious, "Xiaoxue, how did you know? How did he plan to harm Mingxuan? Tell Grandpa Wu right away."
"After dinner that day, I thought I'd take a walk to help digestion, so I ran up the mountain. It happened that Zheng Pengcheng and the educated youth Fang Dongfang were hiding on the mountain talking, so I went over to listen for a while.
The man surnamed Zheng asked Fang Dong to put an English book and a tampered badge in Zhou Mingxuan's new house. He probably wanted to report it later.
But don't worry, Grandpa Wu. I have already told Zhou Mingxuan about this. He and Zhao Junhao have already found those two harmful creatures and dealt with them.
They did not make this matter public, as they had their own plans and intended to trick Fang Dong.
As for Zheng Pengcheng, they planned to wait until the Zheng family was in a more dire situation, and then retaliate and kill him with one strike. "
"I came here today not only to help Zhou Mingxuan deliver the meat, but also to tell you about this.
The people from the Revolutionary Committee will probably be here soon. If there are things that need to be hidden, hide them quickly. If there are things that cannot be hidden, let me take them to my place temporarily and bring them back after the people from the Revolutionary Committee arrive."
Since Wang Xiulan was framed and sent down here, she couldn't stand anyone framing other people. When she heard this, she couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Why are there such heartless people everywhere? No place is peaceful."
"Where there are people, there is the world of martial arts. It can only be said that interests move people's hearts." Old Zou shook his head and sighed.
Elder Wu pressed on, "Xiaoxue, are you sure they have found all the things that could harm people?"
“Don’t worry, Grandpa Wu, we’ve found it.
Moreover, the two of them said that they checked the house three times a day these days, fearing that they had placed something deadly there again.
They even checked the soil in the vegetable garden and yard that showed signs of being disturbed, so you can rest assured."
"Xiaoxue, tell the captain about the Revolutionary Committee's arrival.
As far as I know, some people in the team are secretly raising poultry beyond the limit, and some are secretly planting crops on the mountain. Tell them to keep their tails in check. "
"And Xiulan, you should stop secretly treating villagers these past two days, lest you get caught by the people from the Revolutionary Committee."
Since last winter, when she treated villagers and demonstrated her extraordinary medical skills, curing many people, this year, whenever the villagers feel unwell, they would secretly come to Wang Xiulan for treatment.
Fortunately, the cowshed was at the end of the village, and the educated youth site was a little in front of the center of the village. People didn’t come here on weekdays, so the educated youth never knew about it.
As for those unreliable people in the village, they had been keeping the secret from them before, but later they got some news about the matter and came to see Wang Xiulan for treatment. They were pulled into the same camp and helped to keep the secret together.
Thanks to Wang Xiulan's role, the work assigned to the cowshed this year is much less than last year and is much easier. They have time to rest at noon and finish work early in the afternoon. They can also go to the mountains to collect firewood and mountain products, which reduces Liu Jingxue's burden.
Liu Jingxue originally wanted to see which families Fang Dong was going to frame and then tell them, but after listening to Grandpa Zou's words, she realized that she was wrong. This production team still had some secrets that could not be known by other people.
Forgive her for usually letting her mind wander, only focusing on what she wants to know, blocking out other things, which led to her not noticing those abnormal things.
Therefore, after listening to Grandpa Zou's words, she quickly agreed, "Grandpa Zou, don't worry, I will go to the team leader and Secretary Xu tomorrow and tell them about this.
Tell them to keep it confidential, so as not to ruin Zhou Mingxuan's plan or let those two people find out and change the plan.
I don’t know what tricks they will use, so I can’t crack them.”
"Don't worry, Grandpa Zou. The captain and the others are smart people and they know what to do."
"It's still early, Xiaoxue, don't stay here with us, go talk to the captain about this.
A few of us quickly took action, tidying up the things in the house and hiding things that shouldn't be there.
Xiaoxue, come back later and join us to get some things over to your place."
Liu Jingxue quickly agreed.
