After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

203 The small arm cannot twist the thigh

Qian Xiuwen's parents were still at the farm. When they saw Xiaowei coming back, they asked suspiciously whether Biyu's home was in Haicheng.

Xiao Wei guessed that someone let the cat out of the bag when the two families met, so he could only answer vaguely: "He was sent down to the countryside."

Qian Xiuwen was naturally unwilling: "You must be hiding something from me."

Xiao Wei was in no mood to explain: "Everyone has secrets, there's nothing strange about that."

What made Xiao Wei even more upset was that more than 20 people were assigned here. The director was in a difficult situation and assigned half of them to the agricultural group.

Xiao Wei had no choice but to suggest setting up another group, letting Qian Xiuwen be the team leader, responsible for maintaining the production of crops on the one or two hundred acres.

The task of going to the countryside to spot-check the production contracting situation has officially started. Xiao Wei didn't want to participate and act as a scapegoat, but he couldn't resist Guixiu's constant nagging and had to accompany her.

Although the canteens have been disbanded one after another, even with the use of various coarse grains, people can still only eat half full. People are still full of resentment, and the dangers of going to the countryside cannot be underestimated.

This time, the same formalistic model was adopted. We first went to the local areas to win over the students' families and understand the situation. Then we decided on the specific places for random inspections so that the township cadres could be prepared.

Later, many smart people always criticized formalism, believing that it was a test of the loyalty of superiors to subordinates and a performance of subordinates' obedience to superiors. They did not understand the helplessness and necessity. It can be said that in most cases, investigating the grassroots is the most dangerous job, and if you are not careful, you will die without a burial place.

In order to avoid a confrontation with Haitao, they started their investigation from Haicheng in the east. Five days later, they entered the county town. As soon as they met Luzhu's father, they received a call from the city, asking Guixiu and others to rush back to the city overnight.

The next morning, Square-Faced Man and the two leaders brought guards to the farm and interrogated Xiao Wei and Gui Xiu about the matter of Xi County borrowing grain. They said that someone had reported it to the provincial government and they were ordered to resolve it as soon as possible.

Xiao Wei's worries came true so quickly, and he was furious: "How do you want to solve this?"

A leader with a long and thin face who seemed to have a higher rank than the square-faced man became even angrier after hearing this: "You privately stored so much grain, which is against the rules in itself, and charging interest is even more illegal. Forcing people to death and causing people to fight is even more of a felony."

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Then there's nothing to say. If you have the guts, just arrest me and put me in jail."

How could the thin long face bear such contempt: "Do you really think we dare not touch you?"

Xiao Wei nodded: "Yes. If you have the guts, try to touch me. I bet you don't have the guts to do that."

The square-faced man tried to smooth things over: "The interest was a private decision of the village director and had nothing to do with Xiao Wei. At that time, the price of grain was dozens of times higher, and Xiao Wei had never sold anything. Borrowing one and repaying one, and the term was three years, was a good deed in itself and was not against the rules. This kind of borrowing can be considered a donation. It should be recognized and rewarded. Xiao Ji did not force them to pay it back immediately. It was the borrowers who wanted to cheat and refuse to pay. It was completely extortion. It is reasonable and legal to arrest them."

The thin and long-faced man still refused to accept the result: "We shouldn't have so much food in the first place. Now that we have caused such a big mess, we should be held accountable."

Xiao Wei laughed: "If you have the guts, then punish me. You talk too much nonsense."

"What's your attitude?"

Xiao Wei stood up: "That's my attitude. Go ahead and bite me."

As he said this, he went back to his room and slammed the door shut.

The thin and long-faced man was so angry that he immediately ordered the guards to break down the door and arrest people.

Gui Xiu stood at the door: "Who dares to try?"

The square-faced man hurriedly stepped in front of them and said, "Don't be impulsive. Let's go back and have a meeting to discuss this first."

The thin and long-faced man asked angrily, "If she flees for fear of crime, will you be responsible?"

The square-faced man said formally, "I can take full responsibility. If it weren't for Xiao Ji's food, many people would have starved to death over there."

"It doesn't matter how many people starve to death. The key is not to make political mistakes. Do you understand?"

"If all the people are dead, how can we conduct politics and govern whom?"

"That's also a matter of policy and regulations, and we must enforce it."

The square-faced man was very angry: "No one has the right to take human life lightly. She is a key protected person of the provincial military region. We can't act rashly."

"You dare to ignore the policy from above, aren't you afraid of being dismissed and investigated?"

The square-faced man said disdainfully: "Since ancient times, there has been no reason to be convicted of saving someone. If this is the case, then it would be better for this cadre not to do this job."

The thin and long-faced man said in a hateful voice, "You said it. Wait for your punishment."

After a few people left with resentment, Guixiu was so angry that she was at a loss: "What the hell is this? Is there still any law?"

Xiao Wei, however, is very open-minded: "Our eternal characteristic is that we don't need elites, we only need obedient slaves. As long as we can maintain our rule, human life, law, morality, and reason are all bullshit."

Gui Xiu sighed: "I didn't believe what you said before, but now I have to believe it."

Qian Xiuwen, who was forcibly isolated, entered the room and asked what happened. He smiled bitterly and said, "The main reason is that Xiao Wei's contribution to saving people was too great, which made the leaders above feel unbalanced. How could the great achievements that should have been made by the government be snatched away by a little girl? If not you, who else should be punished?"

Yijie sighed, "It looks like Xiaowei not only failed, but his money will also be robbed."

Gui Xiu said: "I don't care about fame or fortune, so it's really annoying to be questioned."

Xiao Wei waved his hand and said, "Little arms can't twist big arms. Don't bother with this matter. You can't control it. Just do what you need to do."

Three days later, the higher authorities officially issued a ruling that Xiao Wei's private storage of grain was a serious violation of regulations. The stored grain belonged to the collective, and the grain that was lent out that year was allocated by the collective free of charge. All IOUs were invalidated and did not need to be repaid.

Xiao Wei went to great lengths to save so many people, but in the end she was just helping the authorities.

Needless to say, people in my hometown began to kneel down and thank the government for its wise decision.

Xiao Wei once again became a laughing stock that everyone despised.

Guixiu was also disheartened by this incident and refused to go to the countryside to investigate again. She even stopped going to work at the Ministry of Agriculture. She spent most of her time hanging out with Xiaowei on the farm, or going to Dongli Courtyard to help with breeding.

Then, naturally, one night, more than a hundred soldiers broke into the farm and broke down the door.

Xiao Wei woke up with a start and found herself being grabbed by several hands and searched for.

"Let me get dressed, okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take him away."

Without any explanation, they handcuffed him, wrapped him in a blanket, and carried him into the car.

By the time the rest of the group rushed out, the police car had already started.

A hundred soldiers restrained everyone and began searching and interrogating them.

This ordeal once again damaged Xiao Wei's body, which she had worked so hard to maintain. Add to that the late spring cold, and she had no choice but to curl up on the bench in the confinement room, wrapped tightly in a quilt, and shiver.

I looked carefully at everything in the room, trying to find a way to kill myself, but all I felt was disappointment and helplessness.

I wanted to ask for help from the police who occasionally patrolled by, even if it was just to give me an extra blanket, but in the end I didn't say anything.

As Xiao Wei was daydreaming, his hands and feet began to feel numb. Unfortunately, the temperature was not enough to freeze him to death, so he had to keep looking for other feasible solutions.
