Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

(The author checked and found that some rural areas had access to electricity in 58, so it is tentatively assumed here that electricity has been accessed)

At nearly seven in the evening, two jeeps drove into Jiangjia Village.

Several people got out of the car and rushed into the main house with flashlights. They were still awake and the lights were on.

Everyone in the room exclaimed. Section Chief Han asked, "Who is the eldest son Jiang Tao in your family? Tell me quickly." Old man Jiang had also seen the little bastards and the bald soldiers, so he was relatively calm. "Who are you? What do you want from my eldest son?"

Section Chief Han: "We are from the Security Department of the Steel Rolling Mill. I am the Section Chief. Tell us which one of you is Jiang Tao. You are delaying our enforcement. We will arrest you all."

Mrs. Jiang was terrified and hugged her terrified grandson tightly.

Li Gang looked around the room, and apart from his second sister, even Jiang Hua and the girl he had slept with were there, so they must be married. He also saw Jiang Tao hiding behind his wife.

Li Gang knew Jiang Tao and pointed at him, "Just say Jiang Tao." Section Chief Han took out his gun and said, "Catch him! Shoot him to death if he dares to resist arrest. This was what they had discussed before they came. They would never really shoot. This scared him to the point of peeing his pants. He had seen the little bastards and the bald soldiers enter the village to steal food and shoot and kill people. Although he was still a kid at that time, he was old enough to remember things.

Several security guards tied up Jiang Tao effortlessly.

When Old Man Jiang saw that this was a real thing and saw that Li Gang was also there, he quickly said, "What's going on with the Li kid? What did our boss do wrong? You have to arrest him."

Without Li Gang, Section Chief Han said, "Jiang Tao embezzled materials purchased by the steel mill and embezzled public assets. I have been ordered to arrest him. If he dares to resist, he will be shot on the spot."

Old Lady Jiang was so frightened that she collapsed on the kang.

Old man Jiang was also scared, but when he saw Li Gang was there, he knew it was because they had eaten all the food and not his second sister, especially the milk powder. Plus, Li Gang had come in the afternoon and knew that his second sister almost died due to malnutrition. The Li kid was here for revenge. Even he thought that eating some food could really be convicted of stealing public property. He knew that it was sent by Li Gang, but he ignored it. Li Gang said that it was for his second sister to supplement nutrition, so he didn't care if his eldest daughter-in-law, eldest grandson and old wife ate it. Now, Li Gang really accused him of misappropriating public property. What an arrest.

Old Man Jiang: "Li family boy, I know we were wrong in this matter. We almost killed the second son's wife. We apologize to you. Just let the eldest son go. Besides, those were sent by you. They were not purchased materials at all."

Section Chief Han smiled and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Do you know how to read? If not, I'll read it to you," he said, handing the paper to Old Man Jiang. Old Man Jiang also attended a private school when he was a child. He took the paper and saw that it was all rice, noodles, oil, canned food, meat, and two cans of milk powder, all of which were sent by Li Gang several times. There was also the official seal of the steel mill below. Old Man Jiang knew that this time he was serious. The Li family kid was not here to scare people, but to kill them. He quickly got down to the ground and knelt down with a plop.

How could Li Gang dare to make him kneel? Wouldn't that shorten his life? Li Gang pulled up Old Man Jiang, lifted him up with one hand and threw him on the kang. "Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!" Everyone in the security department, including Section Chief Han, took a breath of cold air. Li Gang was so strong, no wonder he could hit the wild boar.

Li Gang "You don't have to kneel. If kneeling works, what's the point of having a police station and security department? I warned you, but you ignored my words."

Old man Jiang got down to the ground again, but this time he didn't kneel down. Instead, he picked up a firewood stick and beat old woman Jiang, cursing as he beat her, "You spendthrift woman, I told you a long time ago not to touch the things of the second brother's family, but you didn't listen. I let you be greedy and cause trouble, so I'm going to beat you to death today."

Old Lady Jiang was howling like a ghost but she didn't dare to talk back. This old man was really beating her.

"Stop hitting me," a voice came from the second sister, with her head wrapped and covered with a quilt. It turned out that the eldest daughter-in-law went to call the second sister.

Li Gang: "Second sister, why are you out of bed? You just gave birth to a child. If you catch a cold, you will get sick."

The second sister got on the shoulder pole and covered herself with a blanket. "Little Four, I know you are venting your anger for me, but you really can't take Big Brother's life."

Li Gang: "Second sister, this is not up to me. This matter has been reported to the factory. The factory will transfer it to the police station according to procedures. As for whether to eat peanuts or not, we have to wait for the decision of the police."

Old man Jiang stopped beating him. "Li family boy, I beg you, please spare the boss! He can't die."

Li Gang: "Who proposed to occupy the materials?"

This time Jiang Tao spoke up, "My wife ate first and she ate the most." OK, when disaster strikes, we each flee.

Section Chief Han said, "Catch her too." The eldest daughter-in-law was panicking and yelling, but the security guards didn't tolerate her. They slapped her several times in the face, and she immediately became obedient.

Old Man Jiang saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, "Li family boy, I beg you, please show me a way to let us go."

Li Gang saw that the threats were enough and said, "Well, you are my second sister's in-laws. I can ask the factory for mercy. Let's go."

Several people forced Jiang Tao and his wife into the car. Old man Jiang followed behind and kept begging for mercy, holding Li Gang's hand and begging.

Li Gang: "Didn't I tell you? I'll plead for him."

Old man Jiang also risked his life. "You don't have to lie to me. Life and death are all up to you. I will agree to any condition you give me."

Li Gang said, "I'll come back to see you tomorrow," and then he went back to the steel mill.

Old man Jiang had no choice but to go into the house and beg his second son's wife

But as soon as he entered the house, he saw the old woman scolding the second son's wife. He was instantly furious. He thought that all the problems were caused by this silly woman. He beat her up again. After all, she was old and had no strength after a few beatings. Old woman Jiang's face was covered with bruises.

Old man Jiang, I will divorce you tomorrow. Go back to your mother's house. Don't you have a younger brother? This family can't accommodate you. Even now, you still don't repent and still scold the second son's wife. Otherwise, this family will be broken up sooner or later. You forgot when you lived a simple life in the village. Can you fight them?

Old lady Jiang shuddered all over. Yes, back then, when they came to the village, they would kill people at will.

Old Man Jiang: "Second brother, we are wrong in this matter. Can you ask your brother to spare the eldest brother tomorrow?"

Second sister: "Dad, you know what happened. There was almost two deaths yesterday. Dad, those were two lives. Normally you favor the eldest brother's family. I could have given birth smoothly, but because of my mother-in-law and the eldest brother's wife, I almost lost my life. You could have at least given me some nutrition. I didn't eat a single bite of the food my brother brought. The baby in my belly is from your Jiang family. How could you be so cruel, wuwuwuwu."

The second sister cried in grievance, and the second brother-in-law clenched his fists. They were his wife and children, and it was all his fault for being too weak.

Suddenly, "Dad, let's separate the family. No matter how you are partial to each other in the future, it has nothing to do with us." This is Jiang Cheng, the second brother-in-law. An honest man also resisted. If he didn't resist, his wife and children would almost be gone. Two lives would be lost.

Old man Jiang made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's split up. You can separate the house..."

The second sister said, "We don't live here. I have a house in my mother's house. My younger brother will not ignore us. Let's go back to the city."

Li Gang was still thinking about how to persuade his second sister to go home with him. Now there was no need to persuade her. His second sister was already sad and wanted to go back to the city on her own initiative. Who wouldn't be sad? Two lives were at stake.

The next day, Li Gang came to Jiangjia Village again. This time, his second brother-in-law took Li Gang into his house and said that his second sister had been waiting for him.

When the second sister came into the house, she said that she wanted to split up and go back to the city. Li Gang was very happy. Yesterday, he was still thinking about how to convince the second sister today. Now he didn't need to do that. It would be much easier. Li Gang said, "Second sister, don't bring anything. We have everything at home. I have found jobs for you two. We can talk about this when we go back. In short, don't bring anything. We have everything at home."

After that, he went to the main house again. Half an hour later, crying was heard from the house. Li Gang couldn't let the second sister take the tricycle for fear of catching a cold. He told her to pick her up in seven days and asked the second brother-in-law to take good care of the second sister, otherwise he would beat her to death. Although Jiang Cheng was older than Li Gang, he was really a little afraid of Li Gang.

Li Gang left, and Old Man Jiang smoked silently. The final result was that the eldest brother and his wife were detained for half a month. The security department and the police station were in a joint defense relationship, so it was normal to borrow a detention room to keep people for a few days. Favors, what favors? Did you eat the food? If you ate it, you must bear the consequences. Since Li Gang said that the food was purchased by the steel mill, it must be purchased. Otherwise, you said that you gave it to your second sister, then your blatant frame-up would be confirmed. So now we can only confirm the crime of misappropriation of public property, but the difference is that the detention for two days will be handled internally.

Seven days later, Li Gang borrowed a jeep from Li Huaide, along with a driver, and brought his second sister over. They lived in No. 85 Nanluoguxiang, a courtyard with two entrances. The east wing of the backyard was given to his second sister. This was a good house. Her whole family went to support the Third Front, and someone had been thinking about them for the past few months. This area was full of workers from the steel mill, so naturally, Li Huaide gave the house to Li Gang's second sister.

Yu Li and Ding Qiuxia had almost finished buying the things in the house in the past few days, so we could move in right away.

The second brother-in-law saw that such a spacious house would be his in the future, and his brother-in-law also arranged a job for him. The couple would be both working, and they could earn 55 yuan a month. This made Jiang Cheng very excited. He didn't expect that after the family split up, he would get a job and a city hukou, and his children would also be city dwellers when they grow up.

By the end of December, the greenhouse was completed. As there were enough materials and manpower, the bottom of the greenhouse was made of bricks and mud, which was a little more than one meter high. The seeds had been planted. My second sister and Ding Qiuxia's eldest sister-in-law also came to work and were responsible for cooking. All the staff were in place. My second cousin also got a house, but it was not as big as my second sister's, which was not bad.
