Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Go with the Flow 2

It wasn’t the busy farming season yet, so there was no need to go back to work in their individual homes; the commune cadres had some free time and were gathered in the office, drinking tea and chatting.

Suddenly, they saw a male and a female soldier escorting the recently notorious Li Chengdong in. Following that, a series of crisp and melodious accusations fell, and Secretary Zheng and Mayor Chen of Dawn Commune immediately jumped up, "What’s going on here, comrades?"

"Today, we come to ask what the situation is with the comrades here. Are you unclear about the conditions of the various brigades below, or have you been turning a deaf ear, only caring to drink tea and chat?" Feng Qingxue put down the handkerchief that had been covering her face, revealing a tear-streaked face that made her look even more pitifully beautiful. "This Li Chengdong, taking advantage of his position as Caohu brigade leader, insulted me, an active-duty female soldier, right in front of my revolutionary comrades. If my revolutionary comrades weren’t by my side, would he have turned the world upside down?"

Lu Jiang flung Li Chengdong to the ground with a grave tone: "In an era of breaking feudal, outdated thoughts, this man, seven years ago, conspired with the siblings of my revolutionary partner’s maternal family, wanting to use grain as a dowry to forcefully marry my partner as his wife. Luckily, my partner was courageous and astute, and he didn’t succeed. After marrying me, she was exceptionally enlisted and became a glorious medic. Today, seven years later, as we return to visit the Caohu brigade, this man dares to boast outrageously, claiming Caohu brigade is his territory! I’d like to ask the comrades here, those of you with positions in the commune, is Dawn Commune your private territory?"

Secretary Zheng hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, absolutely not, of course not! The country belongs to the people, the commune belongs to the people. The name Dawn People’s Commune is displayed high above; how could it possibly be our private territory? Comrades, let’s talk this out, may I know your respected names?"

It was only at this point that Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue formally performed the military salute and stated their names, "Lu Jiang, Feng Qingxue."

Secretary Zheng quickly held Lu Jiang’s hand, "Oh, how blind I’ve been, how very blind, to not recognize Comrade Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue. We have long admired the reputations of you both."

Mayor Chen, Deputy Mayor Wang, a secretary, two clerks, the head of the armed department, the militia battalion commander, and two propaganda officers—a total of nine people—came forward in turn to shake hands with Lu Jiang, gripping fervently with expressions of shared honor. Their earnest attitude was a stark contrast to the laissez-faire manner with which the couple had entered.

Considering Feng Qingxue is a female comrade, Secretary Zheng and the others did not shake her hand, only greeting her.

While inviting the Lu couple to sit down, Secretary Zheng had the militia battalion commander take Li Chengdong, who was drooling on the floor, away, and then he thumped his chest, assuring the Lu couple, "Whatever grievances you comrades have suffered, just speak up; we will not let you be treated unfairly."

"No, don’t say that; it isn’t a matter of being treated unfairly or not, we must deal with public affairs justly. We cannot allow this place to become my personal tribunal simply because we hold higher ranks," said Lu Jiang as he pulled out the grievance materials from Feng Shuanzhu, "We are here today for two matters. Li Chengdong’s obscene language and insult to an active-duty female soldier who is pregnant is a very serious offense, and you will need to give an explanation for this."

Secretary Zheng hastily replied, "Definitely, certainly, rest assured, comrades, we will not condone Li Chengdong’s vile conduct. Insulting soldiers is explicitly against the regulations and cannot be taken lightly!"
